Following that, Haruno Sakura made her suggestion, "After establishing the Commerce Department, the leaders of the three major clans can also recruit others to join, but I hope that you won't just recruit members from your own clans. Konoha is a whole, and you can recruit members from the Uchiha, Hyuga, Yamanaka, Sarutobi, and other clans, as well as entrepreneurs from Konoha's civilians who have unique insights into commerce and have passed a moral quality check."
Yamanaka Inoichi asked, "I can understand recruiting people from other clans, but why recruit civilians? They might not even know how to refine chakra."
"Actually, the Commerce Department doesn't need ninjas at all," Haruno Sakura said surprisingly. "The Commerce Department is for the development of Konoha's commerce; ninjas are needed for escort and protection. Their abilities are meant for battle. After all, most ninjas disdain engaging in trading, doing chores, and such, don't they?"
