Chapter 169 Conclusion, Dead Leaves Fall
"When the teacher established Konoha, it was because he followed the will of the people. The people had suffered from war for a long time."
"If a village wants to prosper, the people's hearts are an insurmountable hurdle that must be resolved."
Hoshino Kaede looked around at them, paused, and his tone became deep.
"Today's Konoha is not as impeccable as you think. It even has many flaws."
Just a few words can silence the opponents.
After a moment's silence, there was a sudden knock on the door, breaking the silent atmosphere.
"Hokage-sama, Shiraishi requests to see you."
Xingye Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but still said, "Come in."
After he finished speaking, Bai Shiyu pushed the door open and saw that the senior executives from various departments of Konoha were all here at first glance. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Shen Yu behind him greeted Xingye Feng calmly: "Brother."
When Hiashi saw the commotion, he quietly walked over to Hizashi and asked for comfort.
"Why are you here today? You never come here on weekdays."
Seeing that Bai Shiyu was a little nervous, Xingye Feng spoke in a spring breeze, like a breeze blowing across his cheek, soothing his nervous heart.
Bai Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself down, then recounted everything he had just seen and heard, and added his own questions.
He didn't notice that the moment he finished speaking, all the senior executives looked grim.
Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen in a place where they couldn't see.
It was like a slap in their face, loud and clear.
"So, Konoha doesn't have enough food?" Bai Shiyu asked simply.
Hoshino Kaede did not answer immediately. He looked at the senior executives in front of him with a playful look, and finally stopped on Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He has always been in charge of food. It can be said that all the granaries in Konoha are in his hands.
"Huruzen, we still have to respond to the child's innocent questions."
"Tell me, what is the food situation in Konoha? Is it really not enough?"
Xingye Feng spoke slowly and with a hint of meaning, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
Sarutobi Hiruzen broke out in a cold sweat, his face turned pale, and he stammered, unable to speak.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng narrowed his eyes, tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, and said softly.
"This is my negligence. It's my responsibility. Food is the foundation. I didn't expect something went wrong."
"It seems that I have also been blinded by the so-called prosperity."
"Hiruzen, you disappoint me."
Although the words were light, they seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and suddenly made Sarutobi Hiruzen's legs go weak, as if sadness was a mountain pressing on his back.
"You have too much power to manage. Oh, you are also the head of the Sarutobi clan. The burden is indeed too heavy."
When everyone heard this, they were slightly moved. This meant that power was to be divided.
"In this case, Konoha will establish the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and policies related to people's livelihood will be the responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
The power is given to you, but you don't want it, then give it back.
"Maruboshi Kosuke will be the director. I hope you won't let me down."
With just a few words, Hoshino Kaede demoted Sarutobi Hiruzen and promoted Kosuke.
"Me?" Hearing that he also had a role here, Maruboshi Kosuke couldn't help but point at himself.
Xingye Feng nodded: "It's you, don't be surprised."
"You've been with me for a long time. You can't just sit there doing nothing all the time. I'll give you some more work to do and give you some exercise."
Hearing this, Hizashi complained in his mind: "The director of a department is just a training exercise, this is too much."
But after complaining, Hizashi felt a sense of hope, hoping that he would be the next one.
Maruboshi Kosuke was about to refuse, but was blocked by Hoshino Kaede's words, so he had no choice but to accept it.
After making the arrangements, Hoshino Kaede looked at Orochimaru and asked, "Can you improve the seeds?"
Orochimaru pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Okay, it shouldn't be difficult."
Although his facial expression remained unchanged, confidence was evident in his tone. As a technology fanatic, he had this kind of confidence.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng's expression lit up with joy. He was just asking, but he didn't expect it to be really possible.
"That's good. After the improvements are completed, we'll hand it over to Gu Jie."
Then he paused, slowly stood up, and a strong pressure rushed towards everyone.
"Everything I mentioned before needs to be advanced together. It can be slow, but it can't be chaotic."
"Yes." Everyone answered. This was not a discussion, but an order that had to be executed.
Hoshino Feng waved his hand and told them to carry out the discussion respectively, then looked at Rizu who had been daydreaming.
"It seems like you guys are getting along well. You just followed me when we first met."
Hizu scratched his head and said, "I didn't think so much before, I just followed my temper."
Because of Shiraishi's identity, he can speak the truth without restraint. If it were Hiashi, if he did the same thing today, Hinata would probably be targeted later.
Sometimes, there is no big reason to hate someone, you just don’t like you.
Xingye Feng smiled and said, "It's better to be spontaneous. If you don't go against your heart, you can be clear-minded. This will be good for the future."
Rizu felt a little embarrassed by the praise and lowered his head shyly.
After all, he is still a half-grown child, and now he is not the serious patriarch he will be in the future.
Seeing this, Hoshino Kaede laughed. This is how a young boy should be. It's quite interesting.
At this time, Bai Shiyu suddenly asked curiously: "Master, what were you talking about just now? I saw that the expressions of those adults were a little hard to describe."
Xingye Feng touched his head and said with a smile: "It's a big thing, a big thing that can improve the lives of the lower-class villagers."
Bai Shiyu nodded as if he understood, and then asked, "Will that allow Jinyue to eat well?"
"Jin Yue?" Xingye Feng was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Is she the sister of Minato Namikaze?"
Bai Shiyu nodded: "Yeah."
Xingye Feng touched his chin and chuckled, "Of course, maybe what you expect will happen in the future."
Bai Shiyu nodded firmly: "I believe it won't take too long."
Xingye Feng gently tapped his forehead, looked at him quietly, and then smiled: "You seem to be doing well recently. Your previous dull and vigilant temperament has disappeared."
"The lively look now is what a teenager should be like."
Bai Shiyu blushed and stammered, "No, I'm still the same as before."
Hoshino Kaede shrugged, smiled, stood up and looked at the ninja school outside the window.
"The dead leaves of Konoha will soon fall, and new branches and leaves will take the stage."
"I am looking forward to seeing what kind of storm the younger generation can stir up in Konoha."
"Your generation is the most important generation for Konoha, connecting the past and the future."
"Perhaps, the next Hokage may be among you."
