Chapter 136: Pharmacist Dou only Cares About Money

A few weeks later, Minato Namikaze met with envoys from Iwagakure and Kirigakure.

The envoys from Iwagakure and Kirigakure expressed their desire for peace. They were willing to pay a certain price in exchange for a peace agreement with Konoha.

Minato Namikaze would naturally not miss this opportunity and took advantage of it to gain a lot of benefits.

Although he failed to claim the land of the Land of Earth and the Land of Water, he successfully expelled all the influence of the two countries in the surrounding small countries, increasing Konoha's sphere of influence.

The only ninja village that did not express its position was the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.

The Hidden Cloud Village was the most difficult ninja village for Minato Namikaze. The Land of Lightning, where the Hidden Cloud Village was located, was not only surrounded by the sea on three sides and had rugged terrain, but its leader, the Fourth Raikage Ai, was a ninja known for his speed and could counter the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was also the strongest Jinchuriki in the Ninja World, and could fully call on the power of the Tailed Beasts.

However, as the situation in the Ninja World gradually stabilized, the Hidden Cloud Village would never dare to act rashly even if it did not sign a peace treaty with other Ninja Villages.

Although the ab combination is very strong, it is definitely not invincible.

After signing a peace agreement with Iwagakure and Kirigakure, Minato Namikaze, who gained great prestige, finally started his reform.

Minato Namikaze's reforms mainly focus on two aspects.

First, break the barriers between the major departments of the village and allow personnel to flow, especially departments such as the security force, which must be split and cannot belong only to the Uchiha clan.

In Minato Namikaze's view, the original intention of the second generation Hokage to set up the security force was good, but he did the wrong thing with good intentions, limiting the Uchiha to the security force and creating a gap with the village.

As a result, the Uchiha has the final say in the security force, and outside the security force, the Uchiha can't get any useful positions at all, and has become a complete outsider of the village.

If you want to change this situation, you must untie the ninja clan and the department.

In order to achieve this goal, Minato Namikaze privately found Uchiha Fugaku many times. Only by persuading the Uchiha clan leader, under the leadership of the security force, can other departments be split.

The second is to carry out reforms in education and scientific research, so that ninjas can participate in more professions and have the ability to freely choose their professions, rather than just being mercenaries for daimyo and nobles.

After confirming the direction of the reform, Minato Namikaze did not waste time.

Bypassing the high-level meeting, he directly announced the reforms that may be implemented in the future at the general jonin conference.

After hearing the content of the reform, the faces of the advisory elders such as the Third Hokage suddenly sank. Minato Namikaze actually bypassed them and wanted to change the order of the village.

However, considering Minato Namikaze's current prestige, they neither opposed nor refused, and tacitly agreed to Minato Namikaze's reforms.

After hearing the content of the reform, the Konoha jonin also fell into deep thought one by one.

The reforms of the Fourth Hokage are of course good and fully meet the standards of the Will of Fire, but ideals are ideals and reality is reality. How many people are willing to give up their interests and participate in the reforms of the Fourth Hokage?

Most of the Uchiha jonin disagreed, and the ninja jonins who held high positions in various departments also questioned in their hearts.

However, they also understood that they could not openly oppose it on this occasion, so they could only agree with Minato Namikaze's proposal, thinking about how to get the most benefits from the Fourth Hokage's reform.

...

The Fourth Hokage's reform undoubtedly set off an earthquake in Konoha.

All major forces began to stand in line silently. They were all worried that their interests would be damaged. They all wanted to defeat their competitors in this reform and then add insult to injury.

But for the vast majority of Chunin and Genin.

The Fourth Hokage's reform is closely related to them, but it has nothing to do with them. Whether the Fourth Hokage's reform is successful or not, it will not affect their execution of commissions and earning commissions from employers.

Chunin and Genin are indifferent to the reform.

As a child of an orphanage, Kabuto Yakushi is even less interested in the Fourth Hokage's reform.

Instead of wasting his mind on the game between the village's top leaders, it is better to think about how to complete the tasks assigned by Bai Ye in exchange for more money to subsidize the family.

Two weeks ago, Kabuto Yakushi met the mysterious man Bai Ye.

On the premise of working for Bai Ye in the future, Yao Shidou received a sum of 100,000 taels of money.

100,000 taels is a huge sum for the orphanage, enough to support the orphanage for a few more months.

Yao Shidou will never forget the look in the director's eyes when he received 100,000 taels.

The director's eyes were full of surprise at the time, and he immediately asked him where the money came from. He did not admit that the money was earned from work, but just said that a kind person donated to the orphanage.

In Yao Shidou's eyes, Bai Ye is indeed a genuine good man.

However, as the number of completed tasks increased, Yao Shidou became more and more curious about Bai Ye's identity. Who is the other party? Why did he donate to the orphanage under the pretext of issuing tasks to himself?

After all, the tasks that Bai Ye gave him were all tasks to inquire about rumors on the street, and even meaningless tasks such as exercising and reading books.

Yao Shidou also asked Bai Ye, but the answer he got was:

Your strength is still weak, not enough to complete too difficult tasks, so you should grow up with peace of mind. When the time is right, you will naturally be useful.

Yakushi Kabuto did not take Bai Ye's words to heart, nor did he worry about being used by Bai Ye.

He is just an orphan whose parents don't even know who he is. It's a good thing that someone can take advantage of him, which proves that he still has the value of existence.

Not to mention that Bai Ye, his boss, in addition to issuing tasks, would also answer his questions from time to time.

Thinking of this, Kabuto Yakushi, who had been running around the streets for several kilometers, stopped and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:

"Senior, today's running task has been completed. When do you think the money will be available?"

Bai Ye's clone glanced at Yakushi Kabuto, and then said:

"The money is still in the same place. Go and get it when no one is around. Your task tomorrow is to go to the Konoha library to read. In addition to having good physical fitness, my subordinates' culture should not be too bad."

Hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi nodded: "Senior, I promise to complete the mission."

After a pause, Yakushi Kabuto asked curiously: "But why did you, senior, ask me to collect information on reforms? Are you very interested in the reforms of the Fourth Generation?"

Bai Ye nodded and then said:

"I am indeed somewhat interested in the Hokage's reform, but unlike gathering intelligence as you might imagine, I came here specifically to watch Minato Namikaze's jokes and learn some lessons from his failures."
