Naruto: Starting by Teaching Tsunade Modernization

Kurama was sent back to the ecological base by Haruki using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

It looked at the vast and boundless primeval forest and couldn't help but be filled with tears.

Decades of darkness.

Do you know how an old guy like me has endured all these decades?

Although still restricted, it was now free.

While Kurama returned to the wild, Haruki went back to Mito Uzumaki's residence.

Kushina Uzumaki had completed the sealing of the Nine - Tailed Fox, but as he promised, the seal was not complete.

"Teacher."

Kushina held Kurama in her left hand and Tamamo - no - Mae in her right. When she saw Haruki, she greeted him.

But she was in a low mood.

After all, Mito Uzumaki had just passed away.

Haruki glanced at Tamamo - no - Mae, who was trembling.

It felt a fear surpassing death in front of Kurama, a crushing power at the life level.

Kurama was the strongest Tailed Beast, while it was just an ordinary fox.

"Kurama, I'll give you duties. Raise Tamamo - no - Mae into a ninja beast. Look at San, it has Samehada, which has made a name for itself in the ninja world. As the Big bro, you can't be worse than it, right?"

"Do you think I'll fall for this provocation?"

Kurama rolled its eyes at him, but without the deterrence of its huge size, everything it said and did seemed like it was being cute.

Kushina tapped its head: "Don't talk to the teacher like that!"

She already knew that Kurama was the Nine - Tailed Fox, but she had never seen its truly fierce appearance, so she wasn't afraid at all.

And because of the threats from Haruki and Mikoto, Kurama could only verbally condemn her actions.

"..."

Kurama snorted and turned its head, ignoring the two of them.

"Teacher, don't worry. I'll definitely make them get along well."

Kushina rubbed Kurama's little head and couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing this, Haruki let out a sigh of relief.

He wasn't worried about Kurama, but afraid that Kushina would be too sad.

"Minato, stay in Konoha these days. There's going to be a new Hokage selection soon."

"Teacher?"

Minato Namikaze had been staying by Kushina's side and didn't know about the matter of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hearing this suddenly, he was quite shocked.

Did the teacher finally decide to go after the Hokage position?

Although he had a sunny personality, he wasn't a pushover. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Haruki's actions.

In his opinion, if Haruki became the Hokage, Konoha would surely reach new heights.

"The Nine - Tailed Fox broke through the seal. The Third Hokage used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to reseal it and unfortunately sacrificed himself."

Haruki waved his hand and placed Hiruzen Sarutobi's body in the room.

Immediately, some Anbu Ninjas appeared and, after a thorough check, confirmed that what Haruki said was true.

Because a ninjutsu like the Dead Demon Consuming Seal could hardly be forced on someone unless they were willing.

The atmosphere became even more sorrowful.

As the saying goes, respect the dead.

Haruki didn't smear Hiruzen Sarutobi. Instead, he widely publicized that he had become a hero of Konoha.

The funerals of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Mito Uzumaki lasted for a week.

During this period, due to the unexpected death of the Hokage, Tsunade and Haruki, as the Hokage's assistants, temporarily took over the Hokage's duties.

On the second day after the burial, Haruki and Tsunade convened a Jonin meeting.

According to the original Hokage selection ceremony, it was nothing more than the previous Hokage - sama appointing a candidate, and then the jonin would symbolically vote to pass it.

Almost all the Hokages in the original story were born this way.

It's no exaggeration to say it's a time - honored tradition.

But Haruki didn't care much about the Hokage position. All he wanted was to end the war and enjoy a peaceful journey with Tsunade.

It was already nine o'clock.

Haruki sat in the middle.

On his left was Tsunade, and on his right were two Hokage advisors, Homura Mitokado and Torane Homura.

In the setting of the original story, the strength of the two Hokage advisors was not bad. At least they were jonin elites.

After all, they were once the bodyguards of Tobirama Senju when he was Hokage.

However, as advisors who could influence the Hokage's strategies, they were not very responsible in their work. Most of the time, they just glossed over things.

Haruki glanced at the two of them. This should be their last time attending a Jonin meeting, and it was also the last Jonin meeting.

"Regarding the issue of Hokage selection, Tsunade and I have discussed it and plan to adopt a brand - new way."

Most of the jonin who came to the meeting had reached a cooperation with Haruki before, so they were not surprised.

"Haruki, isn't this inappropriate?"

Homura Mitokado looked up and said, "The Hokage selection is a rule established since Lord Hashirama Senju. It shouldn't be changed."

His words were still quite polite.

Because of the successive deaths of Tanzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi, he and Torane Homura smelled something wrong.

It was incredible that Haruki had carried out his actions this week without any obstruction.

Obviously, he had no confidants or direct subordinates. How did he do it?

We can see it from Minato Namikaze in the original story.

After becoming the Fourth Hokage, he faced setbacks everywhere. He couldn't even command the Anbu and Root at all.

Not to mention that Hiruzen Sarutobi still overshadowed him.

During that period, whose words were more useful, the words of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the former Hokage, or the words of Minato Namikaze, the current Hokage?

Hearing Homura Mitokado's words, Haruki suddenly remembered a meme from his previous life.

I'm going to make a decision that defies tradition.

He smiled and said, "Times have changed, and so should our methods. Sticking to the old ways doesn't necessarily bring benefits."

Homura Mitokado frowned. This obviously couldn't convince him.

But thinking about the recent strange things, he decided to listen to Haruki's new way first.

Haruki glanced at him and then started talking about his selection system.

It was similar to the system adopted by the Uchiha Clan.

But there were too many people in Konoha, so it couldn't be copied exactly.

"Regarding the Hokage selection, there are mainly three things to do. The first thing is a census. I will send people to conduct a census of the families living in Konoha, including names, numbers, Chakra attributes, occupations, etc., and establish a computer center to store the information. At the same time, a human resources department will be established for management.

First, the second thing is the regional division. First, Konoha will be divided into regions based on economy or population, named after the streets. Then, a street management department will be established to handle all the trivial and miscellaneous affairs of each street.

The third thing is to select a new department, which I've named the Policy Department. The members of this department will be recommended by each street management department, and the number will be determined by the population ratio. All Konoha residents, regardless of their strength, are eligible to vote. Then, the Policy Department will select an Executive Department, with a tentative number of thirty people, to replace the Hokage Advisors..."

"Haruki! What do you mean?"

As soon as Haruki mentioned replacing the Hokage Advisors, Homura Mitokado and Torane Homura immediately jumped out.

The first two points were strange but barely acceptable.

But the third one was like a death sentence to them!

If the position of Hokage Advisors was abolished, their long - standing privileges would disappear.

Even if they could join the so - called Executive Department, considering the large number of people, they would lose their power of arbitrary decision - making.

"Don't be in a hurry, Advisors. It's not too late to object after I've finished speaking."

Haruki ignored their anger and continued, "The Policy Department will select a list of Hokage candidates, with no less than ten names. Then, the Executive Department will vote to finally determine the Hokage."

The Jonin present finally started to murmur a bit because of the last point.

Although Haruki had made some guarantees before, it still seemed unbelievable when he actually said it.

Homura Mitokado and Torane Homura, who were caught off guard, were simply stunned, almost shouting 'You can't change the age - old rules!'

"Lord Haruki."

Hiashi Hyuga raised his hand to ask a question. He was a planted person arranged by Haruki.

"Any conditions to be a Hokage candidate?"

"No conditions at all."

Haruki said seriously, "Regardless of whether you are someone's apprentice, which ninja clan you come from, or how weak your strength is, theoretically, as long as you are a Konoha resident and can contribute to Konoha, you are eligible to be a Hokage candidate. Of course, since this is the first time, the specific regulations are not yet perfect and will be supplemented in the future."
