Naruto's Stormy Seas

Chapter 422 The New Hokage
The entire village was destroyed beyond recognition after the battle with Payne. Only the five statues on the shadow rock can make people see that this is Konoha Ninja Village.

Sitting on Mount Hokage, looking at the construction sites in the village below the mountain, blowing the cool evening breeze, this feeling is still very pleasant. Kakashi seems to be thinking about something here at the moment.

"Senior Kakashi, so you are here."

Qingyang suddenly appeared behind Kakashi, walked two steps forward and stood beside Kakashi and said.

"Why, Master Sixth also likes to blow hair here?"

Kakashi didn't look back and was still blowing the wind, because his voice was very soft, so he was blown intermittently by the evening wind.

"Senior, I was joking. I'm just an agent of Hokage. It's not appropriate to call me the sixth generation now."

Haruhi said in a low voice, Kakashi shook his head.

"With your talent and ambition, it's probably only a matter of time before you become the real Sixth Hokage?"

Hearing what Kakashi said, Qingyang said apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Kakashi-senpai. If it wasn't for me, the position of this Hokage would be yours."

This time, Kakashi finally turned around and stared fixedly at Qingyang with his exposed one-eyed eyes, and he didn't speak until he looked at it for a long time.

"I'll say it again, I'm giving up my campaign, not because of your visit that night, but because I genuinely think you're a better candidate than me for acting as Hokage in the current situation. Like I said at the meeting, I might be more suitable to be a Hokage in peacetime."

Hearing what Kakashi said, Qingyang felt a little hot on his face, and felt a little ashamed in his heart.

"Sorry senior, I am narrow-minded. But I still want to thank you for your trust. In the next time, I hope we can cooperate happily."

A smile appeared in Kakashi's eyes at this time.

"Then we'll have a good time working together, Hokage-sama. But the ugly words are up front. If you are incompetent, I will pull you down without hesitation."

Qingyang smiled heartily, and immediately nodded heavily.

"it is good."

……

At the high-level meeting, Qingyang finally succeeded in taking up the post of acting Hokage.However, to Qingyang's surprise, Lu Jiu actually voted against him in the end. It seems that Lu Jiu still felt that this step was still too early for him.

Qingyang didn't blame the teacher's choice in his heart, there should always be opposition in the ninja village.During the Three Generations of Hokage, he finally chose to tolerate Danzo, precisely because the moderate Three Generations knew that there was a need for someone with a tough style to be the opposition.

The current agent Hokage is Haruyo with a strong wrist, so there should be an opposition who advocates peace.But there is no sign of this opposition yet, so Qingyang accidentally asks her teacher to take up this role first.

As for the fact that the teacher may not have accepted that he has grown up, Qingyang believes that time is enough for the teacher to have full confidence in himself.

After becoming an agent of Hokage, Qingyang's office was moved from the Ninja Department to the village.Before Payne attacked the village, most of the buildings in the village were destroyed by Nagato's technique. Even the meeting to confirm Haruhito as the agent of Hokage was held in a temporary meeting room made by Yamato with ninjutsu of.

"Master Hokage, the reconstruction work of the village has been arranged, and the Ninja Security Department is gradually taking over the security work. The letters for your succession to Hokage have also been sent out, and I believe they will be sent to the other four kages soon. "

Taking the document from Shikamaru's hand, Qingyang looked at it at a glance, and at the same time his mouth was not idle.

"I don't worry about what you do, but Shikamaru, you still need to pay attention to some words and titles. I'm still acting as an agent of Hokage. It's not appropriate to use the word 'successor'. I'm just acting as Hokage temporarily."

After saying what Qingyang said, Shikamaru gently supported the back of the head, and said a little lazily.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, with your character, sooner or later the word 'agent' will be removed."

Qingyang was completely worn out by Shikamaru's temperament, and it was difficult to change his lazy temperament after taking him by his side for several years.

"You, if you can get rid of this temper as soon as possible, maybe my current seat will be yours."

Listening to Qingyang's joke, Shikamaru still looked slack-eyed.

"Hehe, if you have that time, you might as well take a nap. In the two days since you just took over the job of Hokage, you have slept for two hours less than usual."

Qingyang was momentarily speechless by Shikamaru's words, so she waved her hand helplessly and said.

"Okay, you go out, sooner or later you have to transfer Sai or Yakumo back. Your secretary is too incompetent, you have no sense of humor, and you are not forgiving."

Hearing what Qingyang said, Shikamaru turned around and went out, and left a sentence when he was almost at the door.

"I just can't understand your 'old man' sense of humor."

After speaking, Lu Jiu walked out of the office and closed the door behind him, leaving Qingyang alone in the office with a gloomy face in a daze.

Qingyang was indeed in a daze, because after arranging things these few days, he found that he had nothing to do.

It's not that there's really nothing to do, it's just that as Hokage, you have to consider issues from the perspective of the whole village.After the division of labor in several major tasks in the village, all he, Hokage, has to do is to supervise and manage.Then he used all kinds of tough or soft methods to deal with the relationship with various interest groups. Of course, this was also the thing that bothered him the most. The main reason for his sleep reduction in the past few days also came from this.

Apart from these, Qingyang realized that there was really nothing else he could do.There are a lot of things going on in the ninja department, but as Hokage, he can't stay in a certain department all day long.

More importantly, with the development of the Ninja Department, the work in charge of each department has become more and more specialized. Yesterday, Inuzuka Hana came to him with the latest project book from the Ninja Research Department. There was already something he couldn't understand.

So among the few things that Qingyang mainly thinks about every day, one of them is to dismantle the ninja department.

The work that the Ninja Department is responsible for is a bit too comprehensive. Security, R&D, military, business, diplomacy, and education, it seems that the Ninja Department can intervene in all aspects. To put it seriously, the Ninja Department is simply a small wood. leaf.Of course, it was precisely because of this that Qingyang was able to rise rapidly in such a short period of time.

Because he is the founder of the Ninja Department, Qingyang understands how powerful the Ninja Department is.When Tsunade was on the stage, he talked clearly with Qingyang, coupled with the influence of the three generations on Qingyang and Qingyang's own rationality, in order to ensure the stability of the village.

Now that Qingyang is the agent of Hokage, the first thing to think about is to split the Ninja Department.Of course, things need to be done little by little, and he himself cannot agree to hastily and completely dismantling them.The ninja department is now a complete system, and every link will collapse if it is dismantled into one place.

However, similar diplomatic functions can be completely separated. After all, as long as his own Hokage is there, it doesn't matter if the diplomatic functions belong to the logistics department, and it will not affect the operation of the ninja department.The power that really needs to be finally transferred should be none other than commercial and military. The right to conduct business independently is the purse of the Ministry of Ninja, and the right to lead the army alone is the shuriken of the Ministry of Ninja.

In fact, before making the decision to split up the Ninja Division, Qingyang herself was extremely contradictory.After all, he is still acting as Hokage, and Tsunade will wake up after all, and I haven't figured out what he should do after Tsunade wakes up.

It would be the best if he could take the sixth generation directly, but if Tsunade did not decide to be his successor for the time being, he would still be the Minister of Ninjutsu, and then he would only have a split Ninbi Division in his hands.

This contradiction finally got the answer. No matter how long Tsunade will be in a coma, since Qingyang is Hokage now, he should use Hokage's thinking. If he always prioritizes the power in his hands, then he is just with other families An oligarch of interests like the patriarch is not worthy of being the Hokage.Besides, Qingyang was not timid when she started from scratch. Could it be that she was afraid of giving up some of her power?

In addition to thinking about the problems of the ninja department, Qingyang has been thinking more about herself these days.The ninja preparation department is becoming more and more professional, and the top problems of the ninja research department can be said to have nothing to do with him, so as Hokage, he should consider what he can leave behind.

This questioning of himself began as early as the second joint Chunin exam with Sand Yin. Since then, Qingyang has also begun to try to do one thing, which is to simplify his own jutsu.Gathering and dissolving prison, gathering melting ball, wild horse trap technique, wild horse mirage technique...these water escape ninjutsu developed by him have a certain degree of popularity.

What Qingyang is doing is to simplify these techniques and make them popular.After nearly three years of hard work, Gathering and Dissolving Prison has been simplified into a B-level ninjutsu, and Jujutsu Ball has also been simplified into an ordinary A-level ninjutsu. It is very difficult. These two techniques require too much control of Chakra, which naturally determines that their threshold will not be too low.

In addition to these, Qingyang decided to learn from the third generation himself, and will start to sort out and summarize himself from now on, hoping to leave a lot of wealth to the ninja world after his death.

But at the moment, Qingyang is not thinking about these things. There is no one in the office, and the general work in the village has been arranged. He can't get involved in the specific work of the Ninja Department, so Qingyang decides to go for a walk to be lazy.
