Naruto's Stormy Seas

Chapter 198 The Sprouts of Hope

A voice came from behind, making the three of them startled at the same time, and then they identified the person who came, it was Qingyang.

"Ah! Senior Qingyang~~"

Among the three, it was Ino who came to his senses first, screaming and greeting Qingyang.Looking at Qingyang, there was a peach heart in her eyes, with a nympho look on her face.After all, for girls of this age, a handsome opposite sex will always excite them more.

"hehe Hello."

Qingyang smiled and nodded with Ino, as if he had greeted her.

"I just came back from Naruto and passed by here, and I happened to overhear your conversation. I am very happy that you two have the idea of ​​joining the Ninja Department, and I believe that you will definitely join our team successfully.

In a few months, the next Chunin selection exam will be ushered in. I am here to wish you in advance to pass the selection and become Chunin smoothly. "

When Qingyang said this, Ino and Choji didn't know how to answer for a while.It's okay for friends to talk casually when they are playing around in private, and they are all determined to win the Chunin exam in the future.But Qingyang's formal tone immediately made the two of them tense up.

Seeing Erxiao's nervousness, Qingyang had no choice but to show a warm smile to relieve the tense and embarrassing atmosphere.

"Don't think too much, just work hard. Don't put too much pressure on you. After all, you are all ninjas who have been affirmed by Asma. If he dared to recommend you in the previous exam, it means that you really have a part of the The quality of forbearance. Grow freely, sooner or later you will all break out of the cocoon."

After saying this, Qingyang could also see that if she stayed here any longer, it would only make the atmosphere even more embarrassing.Thinking about it, from Shikamaru's point of view: Qingyang is a talented senior who graduated two years earlier than them, and was successfully promoted to Chunin in the first year of graduation; when they graduated, they didn't want Qingyang to transform into a It is especially for ninja; up to now, Qingyang has become an existence that even their parents look up to.

Knowing that staying any longer may cause today's meeting to end in a depressing atmosphere, and my state today is obviously not suitable for chatting with others.Qingyang waved at them, counting it as a farewell, and then left here using the instant body technique with a seal of both hands.

……

Back in the office of the Ninja Department, Qingyang notified Sai and then returned to the office.After a while, Haifeng, Hongdou, Zonggo and Eiko who received the notification from Sai came to the office one after another.

Seeing that the few people she trusted the most were all sitting here, Qingyang's face looked a little better again.Eko, the most delicate among them, saw that Qingyang seemed to be in a bad mood, so she opened her mouth to ask first.

"Qingyang, what's the matter? Did something unpleasant happen in the meeting just now?"

Eko's question made other people feel Qingyang's strangeness, and they all cast doubtful eyes on Qingyang.

Briefly recounting what happened in the previous meeting, Qingyang said with a sigh.

"Most of the high-level officials in the village want to expand their strength by encircling and suppressing Dashewan. Since Dashewan attacked the village last time, our strategic direction and main imaginary enemy have become Dashewan. All major interest groups also want to Achieve your own demands by eliminating Orochimaru and occupying the land of Tanokuni. Now it seems that it is inevitable to send troops to Tanokuni.”

Hongdou said with deep confidence from the side.

"That is indeed the case. Although it seems that Kakashi is more likely to lead Anbu to send troops. But if this opening is opened, some people will be restless and stop it for various reasons. In that way, the chances of winning are very high. A small war can easily be delayed and delayed."

Everyone who Hongdou said nodded in agreement, Qingyang rubbed his brows and continued.

"Yes, if that's the case, the village is likely to be dragged into the quagmire of a protracted war. If this is the case, we will have to make detailed plans for the future development of the Ninja Department."

"good……"

At this time, Moonlight Hayate, who was in charge of managing all the daily affairs of the Ninja Department, also spoke. After receiving treatment from Tsunade, Hayate's body is recovering during this period of time, and it is becoming more and more convenient to take care of the work of the Ninja Department.

"We really need to think carefully about our future development. At present, the number of people in the ninja department has reached 500, and some materials of the three generations of adults are also being taught well. But the same problem before us It is also obvious that if it continues to grow in the future, it will appear weak. Simply put, the current staff of the Ninja Department consists of the old defense team, ninjas from the Sarutobi clan, and a small number of ninjas seconded from other departments. , but we have no talent reserve. The instructors used in the training have varying degrees of mastery of the materials of the three generations of adults, and many of them even have zero foundation like the students, which makes our training pace much slower than planned. In the end Serious problem. The system of our ninja department is different from other parts of the village. Normal ninjas have to go through the guidance of high ninja after graduating from school. And if those ninjas enter the ninja department again We have to accept secondary learning, which will affect our absorption of fresh blood in the long run."

After Haifeng finished speaking, the faces of everyone in the room became serious.If an organization does not have a large number of backup personnel, it is very fatal. This will directly determine the lifespan of the organization, and it is very likely that it will die out after a generation or two because there are no people.

"Um……"

Qingyang closed her eyes, her temples were bulging, she tapped on the table with her fingers, chewing on Haifeng's words over and over again.

"I've thought about this problem before, but it's not as detailed as you thought. It seems that even if it's a new department, the matter of absorbing new people should be the first consideration. Let's train like this in a short time, we First take the individual as the unit, the development of each newcomer. As for the specific complete system and solution...

We have to meet frequently to discuss, and try to design it in the shortest possible time, and then I will negotiate with Mr. Tsunade. "

Qingyang didn't have an idea for a while, so he had to say it like this. After a few people discussed some minor issues, the meeting ended.

……

The next day, Qingyang came to Hokage House again.

After entering Hokage's office, he didn't meet Tsunade as he wished, and Shizune was there alone.

"Minister Qingyang, what can you do?"

After being asked about her intentions, Qingyang didn't dare to trust her. Although Shizune appeared to be Tsunade's secretary on the surface, she also served as a teacher in the medical department and the medical emergency team leader.That is to say, apart from Tsunade who also serves as the medical minister, Shizune is the highest-ranking ninja in the medical department (the medical ministers of the previous three generations were always represented by Shikahisa, and after Tsunade came back, Shizune stepped down and became the prime minister's staff ).So Qingyang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly answered Mute.

"Hello, Shizune Jonin. I'm here to visit Tsunade-sama, and I want to report something to her."

"Is that so, Tsunade-sama is in the rehearsal hall, is there anything urgent for you?"

Jing Yin sorted out the things on the table and said.

"Oh? In the practice hall..."

Qingyang repeated curiously, wondering why Tsunade was in the rehearsal hall.

"Well, sir, she is teaching medical ninjutsu in the practice hall, do you need me to help you find her?"

Qingyang thought for a while, then nodded and said to Jingyin.

"That's troublesome. My business won't be delayed for too long."

Jing Yin expressed understanding and put down the work in hand, opened the door and walked out of the office.

"Qingyang, what do you want to tell me, sit down and talk."

After a while, Tsunade pushed open the door in a hurry, sat on the swivel chair in a big way, and motioned for Qingyang to sit down too.

"Is such that……"

Qingyang simply reported to Tsunade some of the problems they had at their meeting yesterday.

After listening to Qingyang finished speaking, Tsunade habitually folded his hands in front of his face and said with a frown.

"That's it... I understand your problem, but I can't give you more support at the moment."

Tsunade looked a bit troubled.

"You also knew at the meeting the day before yesterday that if you really want to send troops in the end, the various family departments will only hold the people in their hands tighter, and it will be even more impossible to transfer people to fill your Ninja Department. As for you It is even more difficult to deal with the problem of reserve talents. Since the second generation period, the ninja school system has been implemented for decades, and it is even more difficult to change..."

Qingyang understood that Tsunade was also being constrained here, and couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.Just as Tsunade was still talking, the door of the office was suddenly slammed open, and a pink figure ran in recklessly.

"Master! I succeeded! I succeeded!"

The person bumped into the desk and didn't care, still shouting happily.

Only then did Qingyang notice that the person who came in was Naruto's companion Haruno Sakura.Compared with the first time I saw her, Sakura's image has changed a lot now: she has kept the short hairstyle she had during the Chunin exam, and her clothes have changed into neat short clothes.Of course, what surprised Qingyang the most was that the girl who used to care about her appearance was now hugging a big fish that was one meter long and frisky regardless of her image, and didn't care about the water stains on her hair and clothes. Tsunade yelled happily.

"Master?"

Qingyang suddenly remembered that when Sakura came in, she called her differently, and said in surprise.Jingyin saw Qingyang's question and explained to him in a low voice.

"Yes, Sakura is currently learning medical ninjutsu from Tsunade-sama, she is my junior sister."

"Hey, Senior Qingyang is here?"

Only then did Xiao Ying realize that Qing Yang was also in the house, and in shock, she casually dropped the fish in her arms on the ground, pulling her clothes a little embarrassedly to make herself look more decent.

"Hmph! It's outrageous!"

Tsunade growled with an ugly expression on his face, and Sakura was shocked and stood there straight.

"As my disciple, you are so out of control to achieve such a small achievement! And you spent too long! If it took so long to do first aid on the battlefield, you would have been killed by the enemy, you know?! Go back Keep practicing!"

Saying that, Tsunade took out a new scroll and threw it to her. Sakura didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly took the scroll and retreated.

Qingyang, who had been watching from the side, had a funny expression on her face.After Sakura left and the room became quiet again, he smiled and said to Tsunade.

"It seems that the adults are still very satisfied with this disciple."

"Hmph, just a shameless little girl."

Tsunade said firmly.Qingyang shook her head.

"If you really think she is unqualified, you won't let her go to the next stage of practice. It can be seen that you are full of expectations for her."

Before Tsunade could make another statement, Haruhi stood up.

"I don't seem to have any problems. Maybe I should think about what I just said."

After saying that, Qingyang left the office mysteriously.

On the way back to the headquarters, Qingyang saw Ningci, Xiaoli, and Tiantian who were following Kai practice diligently in the practice field, and met the eighth class led by Xihihong.

"Perhaps, I can trust the school more. There are still some excellent raw jades that can be cultivated there. I'd better observe for a while, they are all sprouts of hope."
