The Second Hokage's Godspeed

Is this the legendary speed of the Second Hokage? It's not just the Flying Thunder God Technique; his handling of administrative affairs is also incredibly fast. I wonder if he's just as quick in other areas...

Lin Ke stood in the corner of the Hokage Office, watching Senju Tobirama swiftly process all the village's affairs.

Matters such as the conflict with Rain Hidden Village, cooperation with Sand Ninja Village, recent friction with Hidden Stone Village, various disputed missions, different demands from Jonin and ninja clans, and so on.

The Anbu were extremely busy, various intelligence reports were delivered to the Hokage Office non-stop, Senju Tobirama processed them, and the Third Hokage and two Advisors were responsible for relaying them.

Lin Ke didn't even get to chat with his teacher for a few words before his teacher was dispatched to communicate with the Daimyo and dignitaries.

After dawn, the heads of the ninja clans were also summoned for a chat, and then he was asked to leave.

Konoha Village has actually been in a process of continuous decentralization of power for many years—

In the beginning, the village was composed of ninja clans, so the higher-ups were naturally from those clans. No one could deny the First Hokage passing the title to the Second Hokage, after all, the two brothers had the biggest fists.

After the establishment of the Ninja Academy, the Three Ninja appeared. Jiraiya and Orochimaru from the Three Ninja were not members of ninja clans; they were genuine civilian ninjas. Even Tsunade didn't have a surname.

Subsequently, more and more Jonin from civilian ninja backgrounds appeared in Konoha Village. On the contrary, the Sarutobi Clan, as the largest veteran ninja clan besides the Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga, didn't occupy many important positions. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's son and daughter-in-law were both elite Jonin in the Anbu, yet they were unknown.

The Senju gradually faded away, and the Uchiha played in their own prison and police force.

Until Jiraiya trained Namikaze Minato, when the Fourth Hokage took office, the shadow guards around him, Shiranui Genma, Namikaze Raidō, and Tatami Iwashi, were all civilians.

This proves that the power of the ninja clans in Konoha Village was greatly weakened, and this weakening started from the Second Hokage.

However, after the Fourth Hokage's accidental death, the ninja clans regained a lot of power.

The Hyuga even refrained from participating in the Celebration on the day Konoha allied with Cloud Village, instead celebrating Hyuga Hinata's third birthday.

You should know that during the Third Ninja World War, the Hyuga's Main Family still obediently went to the battlefield, resulting in a Byakugan being stolen.

According to the development of the manga, the power of the ninja clans didn't continue to weaken; instead, it grew stronger all the way. Tsunade and Kakashi were still okay, but Naruto, the Hyuga's son-in-law, and Shikamaru later on...

As for whether Kishimoto thought so much, it's easy to understand.

The Japanese may be a mess in politics, but they know nobles very well. The Kazoku system was only abolished after World War II, and even in modern times, there are still a lot of Kazoku active.

It can be said that the Japanese don't understand politics, but they definitely understand nobles and commoners.

There are unique national conditions.

The Uchiha were exterminated for rebelling, which is absolutely correct according to the ninja's worldview, but Danzo was still dealt with. It's impossible to say that there was no pressure from the ninja clans.

The Third Hokage was too old. After re-ascending to the position, he relied solely on his old prestige and didn't have enough strength to completely suppress the ninja clans.

The Yamanaka and Aburame all had people around Danzo. The steady faction and the militant faction were both involved, which is exactly the same as the multi-factional and large Kazoku background culture in Japan.

Lin Ke had known about this for a long time, and he wanted to climb up, either by building a good relationship with the ninja clans or by getting in touch with Jiraiya and Tsunade.

However, he was still young, and the Third Hokage rejuvenated a bit in the Konoha Crush Plan, so he could handle it completely. Take it slow.

Senju Tobirama couldn't stand it.

He first dismissed Nara, who was serving as the Jonin squad leader, and then pulled the ninja clans together for a big meeting. The idea doesn't need to be said.

Because Lin Ke provided a lot of recovery time, Senju Tobirama spent a morning, not knowing what he talked about with the various ninja clans, before it was Kakashi, Sasuke, and him who entered the door.

"You two will be Jonin from today onwards."

Senju Tobirama didn't waste any words and made arrangements for Lin Ke and Sasuke right away.

"And you, kid from the Hatake family, starting tomorrow, you will come to the Hokage Office with me to familiarize yourself with and handle matters related to the Kage's administration."

Hatake Kakashi was sweating.

"I want to chat with the Uchiha kid alone." After Senju Tobirama finished speaking, he asked the other two to leave again.

With his deep understanding of the Uchiha, this kid has a ninety-nine percent chance of having opened the Mangekyo.

The extermination of the clan, his brother opening the Mangekyo, and his brother being a spy and voluntarily dying at his own hands—he felt that these plots had a high probability of opening the Mangekyo on any Uchiha.

So, he needed to handle it with caution.

Others may not know what the Mangekyo is like, but he knows it very well.

Lin Ke stood in the corridor, looking at Hatake Kakashi sighing beside him, and said, "You're going to be the Hokage."

"If you like, you can take the initiative to apply to the Second Hokage to switch with me later."

Konoha's number one technician took out his little
