Chapter 136: Pharmacist Kabuto only cares about money

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

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

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

Although it failed to seize the land of the Land of Earth and the Land of Water, it successfully expelled the influence of the two countries from the surrounding small countries and expanded Konoha's sphere of influence.

The only ninja village that has not expressed its stance is the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.

The Hidden Cloud Village is the most difficult ninja village for Minato Namikaze. The Land of Lightning where the Hidden Cloud Village is located is not only surrounded by the sea on three sides and has rugged terrain, but its leader, the Fourth Raikage Ai, is a ninja who excels in speed and can counter the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is also the strongest Jinchuriki in the ninja world at present, and can fully call upon the power of the tailed beasts.

However, as the situation in the ninja world gradually stabilizes, the Hidden Cloud Village will never dare to act rashly even if it has not signed 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, Namikaze Minato, who had gained great prestige, finally started his own reforms.

Minato Namikaze's reforms mainly focused on two aspects.

The first is to break down the barriers between the major departments of the village and allow personnel to flow, especially departments such as the security forces, which must be split up and cannot belong to the Uchiha clan alone.

In Minato Namikaze's opinion, the Second Hokage had good intentions in setting up the security force, but he did the wrong thing with good intentions, confining the Uchiha to the security force and creating a gap between them and the village.

As a result, the Uchiha had the final say in the security force, and outside the security force, the Uchiha could not get any useful positions and became complete outsiders of the village.

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

In order to achieve this goal, Namikaze Minato privately met with Uchiha Fugaku many times. Only by persuading the Uchiha clan leader could the other departments be split up under the leadership of the security forces.

The second is to carry out reforms in education and scientific research, allowing ninjas to 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 reform, Minato Namikaze did not waste any time.

Bypassing the high-level meeting, the possible reforms to be implemented in the future were announced directly at the general meeting of all jonin.

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

However, considering Minato Namikaze's current prestige, they neither opposed nor rejected it, and acquiesced to Minato Namikaze's reforms.

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

The reforms made by the Fourth Hokage are certainly 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 own interests and participate in the reforms aimed at by the Fourth Hokage?
Most of the Uchiha jonin disagreed, and the jonin who held high positions in various departments also had doubts in their hearts.

However, they also understood that they could not openly oppose on this occasion, so they could only agree with Minato Namikaze's proposal and think in their hearts how to gain the greatest benefits from the Fourth Hokage's reform.

……

The reforms of the Fourth Hokage undoubtedly caused an earthquake within Konoha.

All the major forces have quietly started to take sides, they are all worried about whether their own interests will be damaged, they all want to defeat their competitors in this reform, and then severely kick them when they are down. But for the majority of Chunin and Genin.

The reforms of the Fourth Hokage are closely related to them, but have nothing to do with them. Whether the reforms of the Fourth Hokage are successful or not, it will not affect their execution of commissions and earning commissions from their employers.

Both the Chunin and Genin were indifferent to the reforms.

As a child from an orphanage, Kabuto Yakushi had even less interest in the reforms of the Fourth Hokage.

Instead of wasting time 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 supplement the family income.

Two weeks ago, Kabuto Yakushi met the mysterious man Byakuya.

On the condition of working for Bai Ye in the future, Yakushi Dou received a sum of 100,000 taels of money.

One hundred thousand taels is a huge sum of money for an orphanage, enough to keep it going for a few more months.

Yakushi Kabuto will never forget the look in the dean's eyes when he received the 100,000 taels.

The director's eyes were full of surprise, and he asked him where the money came from. He did not admit that he earned the money from work, but only said that some kind-hearted people donated to the orphanage.

In the eyes of Pharmacist Dou, Bai Ye is indeed a genuine good person.

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

After all, the tasks Bai Ye gave himself were all about inquiring about street rumors, and even meaningless tasks such as exercising and reading books.

Yakushi Kabuto also asked Bai Ye before, but the answer he got was:

Your strength is still weak, not enough to complete too difficult tasks, so just focus on growing. When the time is right, you will naturally be of use.

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 are unknown to him. It is a good thing that he is noticed and used by others, which proves that he still has value in existence.

Not to mention that Bai Ye, his boss, not only assigns tasks, but also answers his questions from time to time.

Thinking of this, Kabuto Yakushi, who had been running around the street for several kilometers, stopped and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"Senior, today's running mission has been completed. When do you think the money will be available?"

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

"The money is still in the old place. Go get it when no one is around. Your mission tomorrow is to go to the Konoha Library to read. In addition to having good physical fitness, my subordinates must also have good cultural literacy."

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

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

Bai Ye nodded and said:
"I am indeed somewhat interested in the reforms of the Hokage, but it is different from collecting intelligence as you imagine. I came here specifically to see Minato Namikaze's jokes and learn some lessons from failure."
