Child psychology and dical treatnt, in the Land of Demons there are dical ninjas as skilled as Tsunade, who have noticed the essence of things that many have overlooked.
Those unripe children are truly the future of the country and the village.
It can be said that child psychology and dical treatnt are very important to the ninja profession.
"Is that so? Then I'll consult with the Daimyo."
All of Konoha's developnt funding cos from the Daimyo and nobility of the Land of Fire. Without their assistance, Konoha's developnt wouldn't co to a complete halt, but most industries would stagnate.
For example, during the Second Great Ninja War, Tsunade's proposed dical reform couldn't proceed without the Daimyo's strong support.
Just as he needed substantial achievents to stabilize his position, so that more ninjas in the village would trust his ability to govern.
"Wait, not now."
Shikaku interrupted.
"Why?"
"Because the involved funds are too enormous. Currently, much of Konoha's funding, due to the aftermath of the war, has been invested in nurturing ninja strength and compensation, leaving little for developnt funds."
"How much is needed?"
Minato paused briefly and asked Shikaku.
"The initial investnt is equivalent to Konoha's total military budget for ten years."
Shikaku provided an almost hopeless number.
Minato's hand trembled as he picked up the pen.
"That much?"
"If you want to complete the reform Tsunade-sama ntioned in the letter, the preliminary investnt is not less but more. As for later, it's an astronomical figure. And it's not just about having money; we also need an appropriate system and professional personnel. These are things Konoha lacks, which will be another huge expense."
Shikaku's face was heavy.
What Konoha needs now is to recuperate, but due to the impact of the war, Konoha is still struggling, with no extra money to develop other industries.
"The neutral country, the Land of Demons, is so wealthy."
"It must be related to the previous war."
Shikaku thought for a mont and replied.
"The war?"
"Yes. Currently, within Konoha, there are six branches of the Shion Flower Pharmaceutical Company. They offer excellent quality dicines with a vast variety, both for ninja use and for ordinary people. Take breast enhancent and beauty dicines, for example... ahem."
Shikaku gave Minato a look.
Entering the market through the Great Ninja War, from military to civilian use, Shion Flower Pharmaceutical Company has completed all its setups and is deeply rooted in the Ninja Realm countries, becoming a pharmaceutical industry giant.
Even Konoha must treat the Shion Flower Pharmaceutical Company with respect.
Minato gave a wry smile.
Indeed, the so-called breast enhancent and beauty dicines are not particularly appealing to n. Yet for won, even many of Konoha's female ninjas have beco enamored with these dicines, which speaks volus.
For won, their figure and face are crucial.
In his own ho, Kushina bought several bottles of such high-end products to contribute to the developnt and growth of the Land of Demons.
And this is just Konoha; similar situations likely exist in the other four ninja villages and other important towns of various countries.
"Understood, let's discuss the reform topic at the Jonin eting in a few years. It also requires the Daimyo's consent."
After sitting in the Hokage position, Minato realized how heavy the responsibilities of the Hokage were, completely different from how he imagined it as a child.
A Hokage cannot just do whatever they want, especially with the pressure exerted by the Daimyo, which can make Konoha's progress nearly impossible.
Moreover, things are not calm within Konoha either.
Even though they had successfully limited the actions of Root and Danzo, Minato knew that he and the Third Hokage Hiruzen had already fallen out.
The recruitnt of Anbu personnel had shown little effect.
The number of people he could rely on was still remarkably few.
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio needed to stay by his side to guard against a counterattack from the Third Hokage. The only usable person was Kakashi.
Now, he couldn't even resolve internal issues within Konoha, and the enticing reform policies ntioned in Tsunade's letter might not be formally implented even several years from now.
Because, after handling Konoha's internal affairs, he would spend a long ti negotiating with the Daimyo, which is even more daunting than addressing internal chaos in Konoha.
Minato started to get a headache.
Seeing Minato in distress, Shikaku was about to offer comforting advice when there was a knock at the door.
"Co in."
Minato composed himself and allowed the person outside to enter.
A Chunin entered and presented a scroll.
"Hokage-sama, this is an urgent ssage from the Land of Snow."
"The Land of Snow? Where's the ssenger?"
Minato quickly responded.
"He's undergoing ergency treatnt in the hospital; he was covered in injuries when he arrived."
The Chunin replied.
"It seems sothing has happened inside the Land of Snow."
Shikaku rubbed his chin, speculating.
Minato opened the scroll and after reading its contents, his face turned serious, and he said to the Chunin:
"Summon Jonin Kakashi from his vacation. I have an important mission for him."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The Chunin respectfully exited.
"Looks like Kakashi's vacation will be ruined again, and he just recovered from his injuries."
Shikaku smiled.
Minato sighed, gazing out at the scenery of Konoha through the window.
"There's no choice; I'm too constrained over here, and Kakashi is the only option."
"Indeed. But since the Land of Snow is next to the Land of Demons, after Kakashi completes his mission, let him investigate the Land of Demons. I'm also curious about this country."
Upon hearing Shikaku's suggestion, Minato nodded in agreent, as he had been considering the sa thing.
