Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 226 Kato Dan jumped out?

Based on the strength that Konoha has revealed.

Sakumo Hatake, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Yuuki Uchiha.

Four outstanding young people.

They all possess Kage-level combat power.

Sakumo Hatake, with his white teeth, exuded an aura of power that overwhelmed Iwagakure, subtly surpassing the combat strength of a Kage.

Under these circumstances, which major ninja village would dare to cease hostilities?

Isn't that just giving Konoha free time to develop?

If Konoha is allowed to recuperate for more than a decade, it will likely be able to easily defeat the four great ninja villages in the future!

"Today, we are holding a meeting of all Jonin to discuss one matter: reform of the Ninja Academy!"

"Everyone, please speak freely."

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat back down, acting as a proper spectator and refraining from offering any opinions.

Upon hearing this, the Jonin displayed various expressions.

Normally, the Konoha Ninja Academy's system is sufficient to be used for several more decades or even hundreds of years.

Konoha's education system is considered stable and comprehensive among the five major villages.

Each year, they consistently produce hundreds of elite genin, who, with a little training, become a group of 'hexagonal' chunin.

The discussion gradually began, with the commoner Jonin actively speaking up, while the clan leaders remained silent for the time being.

"After the trainees graduate, could the ninjas leading the teams be replaced by a recommendation system? A rigid assignment creates communication barriers for both sides."

"The ninja academy needs to be expanded; the current number of students is too small."

"..."

There are many opinions, some good and some bad, some one-sided and some general.

Most Jonin are theoretical ninjas, and not all ninjas have received systematic management training.

The proposed reform direction for the ninja academy is...quite unusual.

The first high-ranking official to step forward was neither Uchiha Yuuki, nor Tsunade, nor Orochimaru.

It was Hatake Sakumo!

The reason he was the first to step forward was because the Anbu had uncovered a great deal of corruption within the Ninja Academy.

The key issue is the number of staff.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi announced a re-evaluation of teachers, the fundamental problem remained unresolved.

There are more than just teachers at the Ninja Academy!

In fact, the teachers are the true asset of the ninja school.

The Ninja Academy is facing the problem of insufficient efficiency.

While completing their teaching duties, teachers also have to take on tasks assigned by various departments.

Doing some meaningless work.

Or.

They are doing tasks that teachers shouldn't be doing.

As a result, the first blow to the reform of the ninja academy was borne by the ninja academy teachers, which is unfair.

After investigation, Hatake Sakumo concluded that the reform of the Ninja Academy should address some of the overly complicated issues, eliminate redundant staff, improve teachers' salaries, and increase the number of teachers at the Ninja Academy.

This can both reduce the burden on the village and increase the output of ninja academy talents.

"First, regarding the efficiency of the Ninja Academy, there are four grades in total. Each year, there are about six classes with more than 200 graduates. The pass rate is about 40%. Each year, it trains 60 to 100 genin."

"In contrast to the pitifully small number of graduating students, the Ninja Academy has a whopping seventeen departments and eighty-six classes, with over four hundred staff members, not including cleaning, logistics, and canteen workers..."

As Sakumo Hatake's words spread throughout the meeting room, many Jonin were stunned.

They really didn't expect that the Ninja Academy would accommodate so many employees.

The appointment of Konoha genin is not solely determined by the Ninja Academy; many other departments can also appoint genin.

An ordinary person, by refining chakra, learning one or two ninjutsu, and going to the mission center to accept a few D-rank missions, will also have a high probability of becoming a genin.

The genin who are born in the ninja academy are elites and are the future jonin candidates.

The quantity is also the smallest.

In addition, the main task of the Ninja Academy is to lay the foundation, and they never thought that there would be so many employees in the Ninja Academy!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned somewhat grim.

He really didn't know that the Ninja Academy had so many employees.

The Hokage is not a creator god; he cannot be omniscient or omnipotent, nor can he constantly monitor the number of employees in each department.

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly recalled that this situation might be true.

The number of transfer notices to the Ninja Academy that passed through his hands alone was quite large!

Yuuki listened with his eyes closed. Sakumo-kun, you are truly brave.

How dare you ask such a question?

Redundancy in personnel has always been an unsolvable problem.

The police department initially had the same problem.

A class consists of four people. One class leader and two deputy class leaders are appointed, but in the end, only one member is responsible for handling Konoha's security affairs.

A marginalized squad, with more squad leaders than members.

One person does the work while a bunch of managers watch from the sidelines.

Of course, Yuuki was thinking of the Konoha Police Department.

I didn't expect that the Ninja Academy would have similar problems, and it seems that the situation is even more serious.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up, revealing interest.

Sakumo Hatake continued, "I propose that the Ninja Academy return to its original mission, which is to train outstanding graduates, eliminate all departments unrelated to teachers, retain only teachers and recruit new ones."

"Within the Ninja Academy, the training categories for students are further divided, providing three training directions: ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu."

"..."

As the new suggestion was put forward, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly.

What benefits would this reform bring to Sakumo Hatake?

Offending hundreds of colleagues and leading the Ninja Academy down a completely unknown path?

“I have finished speaking.” Hatake Sakumo sat down, feeling a sense of fulfillment.

Perhaps, this is the contribution he should have made to Konoha!

“Very insightful.” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

The opinion put forward by Konoha's top fighter must be very insightful.

Fortunately, Sakumo did not propose any overly embarrassing reform measures.

It's acceptable to simply resolve the issue of a few hundred redundant personnel in the ninja academy.

Tsunade glanced at Yuuki, stood up expressionlessly, and said:

"My proposal concerns the collaboration between the Ninja Academy and hospitals to train new-era medical ninjas."

"The so-called new era means that medical ninjas are no longer seen as a burden with low combat effectiveness."

"Using ants and ninja tools as aids, we can make up for the shortcomings of medical ninjas."

"Since the First and Second Hokage established Konoha, ninja management has been divided into two levels: squads and teams. Generally, four people form a squad to carry out missions together."

"Practical verification has shown that task efficiency has been greatly improved."

"If one of the four is paired with a medical ninja, they can provide logistics, treatment and ninja tools for a squad."

"The team's survival rate will be greatly improved."

"The emergence of detoxifying ants and fungal mats provides a feasible basis for the mass production and training of medical ninjas from a young age."

Tsunade summarized the hospital's experience in training medical ninjas and proposed a plan to integrate medical ninjas into the ninja academy.

Commoner ninjas and even clan heads all unanimously agreed to this medical ninja plan.

They don't have to pay for it, and they can still enjoy medical benefits.

Good thing!

Mitokado Homura, on the contrary, was not very happy and silently gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a look.

Hiruzen, the logistics department doesn't have enough money!

We set up ninja academies to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. How much money would the village have to spend on a ninja academy's medical system!

"Tsunade, your suggestion is very good. However, there aren't many students at the Ninja Academy. After graduation, they can go to the hospital for further training."

Suddenly, a young Jonin in the crowd raised his hand and stood up: "I think what Jonin Tsunade said makes a lot of sense."
