Daily Life of the Third Hokage - Chapter 190
After calming down, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat quietly in his office, holding tightly in his hand the scroll that just recorded the idea of the Patching Heaven Formation.
Ever since he knew the idea of the Patching Heaven Formation, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that this was an opportunity to change the fate of Konoha Village and even the entire ninja world.
If this formation can be successfully implemented, it will bring unimaginable power and benefits. It can not only be used to target the tailed beasts, but also protect them from various potential threats.
The more important thing is to detach the Otsutsuki clan. No, it’s not about targeting the Otsutsuki clan. The Otsutsuki clan still needs to be captured by themselves. This sky-repairing formation will be the most likely means to disintegrate the power of the Otsutsuki clan.
“A research team must be formed.” Sarutobi Hiruzen whispered, his voice echoing in the silent room.
He picked up a pen and began to list the names of those who might join the research team on paper.
First of all, the Yamanaka clan, they are experts in studying the soul, and they are needed in this regard regarding the soul energy in the chakra.
Then there are the Nara clan and the Aburame clan. One is studying shadows, this one is Yin Dun, and the other is raising insects, which may help decompose energy.
There may also be the Kurama clan, who are studying illusions, and may be useful. The Uchiha clan should also send a few people!
Finally, the indispensable Uzumaki clan.
Let these families all dispatch elite ninjas!
Yamanaka clan, Yamanaka Hayashi, Yamanaka Kui…
Nara clan, Nara Shikaka, Nara Shikado…
Aburame clan, Aburame Tamori…
Kurama clan, Kurama Ran…
Uchiha clan,….
Forget it, let’s add one more person from the Shimura clan,
As the names were written on the paper, Sarutobi Hiruzen gradually formed a rough plan in his mind. However, when his eyes fell on the list again, a problem emerged in his mind-the lack of a suitable leader to preside over this crucial work.
The first person he thought of was Orochimaru. Orochimaru, the disciple who had been highly expected by him, possessed unparalleled research talent and creativity.
His understanding and exploration of ninjutsu had reached a very high level. If he were to lead this research team, he would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very clear in his mind that he had decided to let Orochimaru be the next Hokage. This was a decision he made after careful consideration. He believed that Orochimaru was capable of leading Konoha Village to a more glorious future. However, if Orochimaru was asked to take care of the work of the research team at the same time, it would inevitably bring him great pressure and burden.
“One is that there is no time, and the other is that I am afraid that this kind of thing will affect Orochimaru’s succession to Hokage.” Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly.
He knew that becoming a Hokage meant taking on the responsibilities and expectations of the entire village and devoting himself to the management and development of Konoha Village.
And studying the sky-patching formation is also an extremely difficult and complex task that requires a lot of time and energy. If Orochimaru is unable to split his time between the two, it may not only affect the progress of the research team, but also have an adverse impact on his work after taking over as Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep contemplation, and he tried hard to search for other possible candidates in his mind. He thought of Jiraiya, the disciple with a free and easy personality and strong strength.
Jiraiya also has rich knowledge and experience, and has certain attainments in ninjutsu research. However, Jiraiya’s personality is too casual, lacking the rigor and concentration required to lead a research team.
He thought of Tsunade again, the woman with powerful medical ninjutsu. Tsunade’s achievements in the field of medicine have attracted worldwide attention, but for this kind of research work involving advanced chakra theory and complex ninjutsu techniques, she does not seem to be the most suitable candidate.
“Who should I choose?” Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned tightly, and he felt extremely entangled and confused. He knew that the choice of this leader was crucial. He must find someone who has enough ability and wisdom and can devote himself to the research work.
“How about Okunoki? It seems that his research is okay in the original work, but Okunoki has been working in the Anbu and has never appeared. His current strength is only that of an elite Chunin. If he leads, I am afraid he will not be able to convince the crowd. Okunoki can participate in the research as a deputy team leader, but he still needs
“Assign a person who can control the situation as the team leader.”
After a long period of thinking and weighing, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made a decision.
He decided to conduct a survey on ninjutsu in Konoha Village and determine the final candidate by filling out a questionnaire.
He wanted to see if there were any special talents among the many ninjas in Konoha Village who had not been discovered.
So, Sarutobi Hiruzen issued a notice: Starting today, 1 Within a month, all the Chunins and above in Konoha Village need to fill out a ninjutsu questionnaire.
This ninjutsu questionnaire was designed by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself. It is to screen out unique talents.
In the following days, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to screen the submitted questionnaires one by one.
He set up a series of rigorous tests and challenges to select those ninjas who truly have leadership and research capabilities.
After layers of screening, several ninjas finally stood out and became candidates for the leader of the research team.
The most satisfied one turned out to be Nara Shikako. Although Nara Shikako is young, he has shown extraordinary wisdom and calmness.
He has a deep understanding of tactics and strategies, and can quickly make accurate judgments and decisions when facing various complex problems.
It seems that an outstanding mind is indispensable! Nara Shikako, a former secretary of the Hokage Office , Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Political Affairs, Minister of the Ministry of Political Affairs, Secretary General of the Secretariat, prestige is absolutely enough, and strength is now an elite jonin, which is basically up to standard.
The most important thing is that Nara Shikashin is Sarutobi Hiruzen’s confidant, which makes it easier for Sarutobi Hiruzen to understand the progress.
When the appointment letter came to Nara Shikashin’s hand, Nara Shikashin was so upset!
Originally wanted to be lazy, but he was asked to lead a research team. It was still to study the art of dealing with the tailed beasts, which was both tiring and dangerous, with high risks and low returns. That night, Nara Shikashin’s resignation report and various hospital examination reports were submitted to the Ministry of Political Affairs.
After seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen also smiled bitterly in his heart. This was clearly done for himself. The meaning was very clear. I dare not do this. If you force me to do it, I will get sick.
Forget it, a forced melon is not sweet. With Nara Shikashin’s lazy appearance, he is indeed not suitable for such a confidential mission.
