Early Morning
Hmm.
After a prolonged kiss, Feng's cheeks were slightly red, and her neck had a faint pink hue. It was unclear whether this was due to shyness or a lack of oxygen from the lengthy kiss.
A good morning kiss!
Feng and Ling naturally agreed to Uchiha Nan's simple request.
Next was Ling. Seeing her red lips, Uchiha Nan lowered his head for another kiss.
Lips parted.
"Come back soon!"
"Um!"
Uchiha Nan nodded, walked out the door, and headed to the Hokage Building to start his day of office work.
**Office**
"Now that the funds have been received, the Ninja School needs to continue recruiting students. How is the preparation for this year's enrollment plan?"
Uchiha Nan looked at Nara Shikato and inquired about the current year's ninja school enrollment.
Continuous warfare had nearly wiped out a generation of the ninja clans. It's unsustainable to keep relying solely on them.
The original intention of the Ninja School was to train civilian ninjas on a large scale.
In Konoha's future, civilian ninjas will become the mainstream. Although their average quality isn't as high as the ninja clans', their sheer numbers are advantageous!
With such a large base, top-notch ninjas will inevitably emerge, like Orochimaru and Jiraiya. They're civilian ninjas.
They're not yet famous in the ninja world, but their potential is immense, and they've almost surpassed the ninja clans of their generation.
During the Third Ninja War, talents like Minato Namikaze emerged.
Investing significantly in civilian ninjas is crucial.
Moreover, the principal of the Ninja School has always been the Hokage of Konoha. Every graduate can claim to be a student of the Hokage, though few do so out of humility.
Unless a Hokage personally accepts them as disciples and teaches them directly, they rarely boast about it.
As Hokage, Uchiha Nan was naturally concerned about these future assets.
"Hokage-sama, the annual enrollment used to be 800 students. It was previously reduced to 500 due to insufficient funds."
"Given the rapid decline in Konoha's ninja population due to the war, I propose expanding the number to 1,400."
Nara Shikato presented the plan, explaining future enrollment and resource allocation for the Ninja School. These are solvable issues, primarily requiring funding.
"The main challenge is sourcing quality ninja school teachers."
Nara Shikato expressed his concern. The most crucial aspect of a school is its teachers.
However, the Ninja School's teaching quality was currently lacking. All capable fighters were sent to the battlefield, leaving only the old, weak, and disabled.
The strongest teacher was merely a chunin, and even he was handicapped.
Recruiting a new group of powerful teachers was essential, but challenging.
The best candidates would naturally come from the ninja clans, offering reliable quality. These would be battlefield veterans with rich practical experience.
However, the ninja clans weren't wealthy either. With fewer children being born, families encouraged more offspring, and naturally, they preferred to train their children themselves. Persuading them to send their children to the Ninja School would likely cause significant friction.
Especially since Uchiha Nan had used a large portion of their funds for Konoha's development, asking them to provide their best ninjas as teachers would likely lead to criticism.
"I'll request Uchiha to send a group of ninjas to the Ninja School, filling the remaining vacancies."
"Send someone to inform Hinata Takuma that I'll recruit four Hokage assistants, and he'll be one of them. He'll know what to do."
Uchiha Nan decided to reward Hinata Takuma for his alliance by granting him some authority. Konoha's affairs were too numerous for him to handle alone. He needed time to train, leaving many responsibilities to his assistants.
This naturally included task allocation, personnel transfers, war command, and fund management. It's evident that Hyuga Takuma wouldn't refuse such authority.
"Also, inform Senju Momoyama there's another spot for a Hokage assistant and ask him to transfer some Senju members."
The Senju clan was still necessary, and Uchiha Nan wanted to ease relations with Senju Momoyama.
"Let Uchiha Tomita know he's the sole candidate for Hokage assistant, and ask him to reorganize Konoha's ANBU, forming smaller groups."
As the Hokage's direct troops, the ANBU must be firmly controlled. Every detail in Konoha was monitored by the ANBU, and intelligence must remain secure.
Previously, it was controlled by the Senju. Even after Senju Tobirama's death, Uzumaki Mito could command the ANBU with her warrant, a right reserved for the Hokage.
Such a situation couldn't be repeated.
Uchiha Nan didn't want Senju monitoring his every move.
"For the final Hokage assistant candidate, I've chosen you, Nara Shikato!"
Nara Shikato, who had been diligently recording Uchiha Nan's orders, was stunned by the unexpected opportunity.
"Me?!"
"Hokage-sama, are you serious?"
Nara Shikato's eyes widened. For years, the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance's development in Konoha was satisfactory, though they hadn't engaged in Konoha's core rights. Senju Tobirama, a political powerhouse, held power tightly, accustomed to reigning over others.
Uchiha Nan didn't want to be a hard worker.
"I'm serious, Nara Shikato. I have high expectations for you. I know your clan's talent. Konoha's daily management requires your three clans' assistance."
"I..."
Nara Shikato blushed, moved by Uchiha Nan's sudden respect.
"Don't worry, Hokage-sama, the three clans of Ino, Shika, and Cho will give their all for Konoha!"
"Actions speak louder than words. Show me through your actions. I trust you!"
Uchiha Nan said with a smile to Nara Shikato.
"The three families of Ino, Shika, and Cho will assign elite clan members as teachers at the Ninja School and will also send children from core families to enroll."
Nara Shikato was perceptive, immediately demonstrating loyalty through action.
"Thank you for your hard work."
After a busy day, Uchiha Nan finally addressed all the day's documents.
Towards evening, Uchiha Nan finished dinner outside and went to the secret room of the Uchiha clan.
This was a core secret room known only to the Uchiha clan leader, used to store the family's core documents, including the techniques of Izanagi and Izanami.
But he wasn't there to learn ninjutsu today.
Two death row prisoners were tied up and thrown on the ground in the secret room, with special marks on the floor.
Uchiha Nan knocked one of them unconscious and placed him in the compartment, then performed the Impure World Reincarnation on the remaining prisoner.
"Revive, my Hashirama!"
Uchiha Nan shouted.
