Chapter 478: Nagasawa’s Day
Early in the morning, after Nagasawa got up and finished washing up, he used Flying Thunder God to buy a portion of dango, then returned home and ate the dango while drinking strawberry milk. This was his breakfast.
As for Kabuto, Kabuto said he did not like eating dango in the morning, so Nagasawa did not bring any for him, but gave him money to solve it himself.
While eating, Nagasawa casually turned on the television and watched a comedy program on the television while eating.
Although it was hard to imagine and somewhat did not fit the art style, there were indeed quite a few technological products in Naruto, almost not much different from Nagasawa’s previous life.
But for some reason, the technology tree was a little crooked. Although some aspects were about the same as Nagasawa’s previous life, many aspects were also very backward.
Among them, the field of technological weapons was a very backward point.
It was unknown whether it was because ninjas had Chakra, but almost no one specially developed purely technological weapons. Even when researching technological weapons, they were not purely technological weapons, but were to cooperate with Chakra and cooperate with ninjas.
There was also the aerospace field, which was also relatively backward. There was very little development, as if everyone was not interested in manned spaceflight at all, seemingly having no ideas about the starry sky.
However, this point changed a little after Nagasawa discovered that alien spaceship. Although the research difficulty was very great, Nagasawa still gave a large amount of research funds and established all kinds of research projects around the spaceship.
In his original world, even if everyone did not know whether there were aliens or not, they still vigorously developed the aerospace industry.
As for Naruto, there really were aliens here, and it was even unknown how many there were. The aerospace part had to be developed.
Nagasawa gulped down a mouthful of strawberry milk, then used a tissue to wipe the traces at the corner of his mouth. Looking at the comedy program on the television, for some reason, he gave birth to the idea of having Konoha also make a television station.
However, if Konoha wanted to make a television station, it would probably be a little strange. A military base setting up a television station...
As for programs and the like, he also did not know what to make. Could it be to popularize knowledge about ninjas to everyone?
When Nagasawa thought about it, he really felt that if there was this program, it should be quite popular. Ordinary people should still be very curious about ninjas.
Actually, many big figures of Konoha had been invited to speak before and had all appeared on television. Nagasawa was no exception.
After the Five Kage Summit ended, there were even television station reporters who came to interview him and Minato, asking them what major impact the Five Kage Talks would have on the situation of the entire Ninja World next.
However, Konoha’s positioning was relatively special, so generally, very few reporters came.
Although there was no television station, Konoha also had its own newspaper.
It was also something made only in these few years. It was suggested by Nagasawa and only issued inside Konoha.
The purpose of running the newspaper was not to make money, but to better let Konoha villagers understand more information.
For example, Nagasawa once specially wrote an article in the newspaper for the enrollment of the Special Combat Class, letting everyone better understand what this was and what the difference was between joining the Special Combat Class and directly becoming an ordinary Genin.
After eating breakfast, Nagasawa turned off the television, walked out of the house, and walked toward the Hokage Building.
On this road, Nagasawa rarely used Flying Thunder God to hurry directly there, but liked to walk over slowly.
As for if you wanted to ask why, was it because the environment on this road was too beautiful, so much so that Nagasawa wanted to appreciate the scenery along the way, causing him to give up using Flying Thunder God to save time?
If that was the case, there would be ghosts.
Buying food with Flying Thunder God was because he was anxious and wanted to eat the food he was longing for faster.
But what benefit was there in using Flying Thunder God on the way to work to arrive earlier? Doing more work?
So Nagasawa liked to slowly walk to the Hokage Building for work.
On the road, quite a few ninjas and civilians would smile and greet Nagasawa, and Nagasawa also responded one by one.
Probably because Nagasawa was like this every day, although Konoha had many of his fans, Nagasawa also rarely encountered times when he was surrounded after going out.
Generally, when he was surrounded, it was the persons in charge of various projects surrounding him and asking him to handle problems...
Sometimes, when he was busy with cultivation, Nagasawa would let a Shadow Clone go to the office.
But recently, the research on the Shinigami system had fallen into a bottleneck, so Nagasawa decided to give himself a vacation and temporarily not be anxious to cultivate. Thus, today, it was his main body going to work.
He familiarly walked into the Hokage Building. Not long after he sat down, a ninja walked into the office while holding quite a lot of materials.
Thus, Nagasawa began today’s work.
It had been mentioned before that Nagasawa actually had quite a few positions on him. Not mentioning things like the Special Combat Class training team, there were also positions in the Education Department and Medical Department.
So there were really quite a few things he had to handle.
Because in those departments, most of his positions were not empty titles. He had to work, or in some departments, he was simply the boss.
Actually, the departments where he was the boss were instead not busy, because Nagasawa had long considered work matters and found tool people for himself to handle affairs.
For example, in the training team, there were Shisui and Shion together handling all kinds of affairs, and matters regarding training were mainly handled by Kakashi, Inuzuka Midori, and the others.
The Special Combat Class actually also did not need Nagasawa to appear too much. He instructed the trainers more times than he instructed ordinary members.
Because there were too few who could learn Sun Breathing, and for those basic Breathing Styles, having trainers was enough. Nagasawa only needed to occasionally look at how the progress was and whether there were places to improve.
Although Nagasawa enjoyed slacking off very much, he would still seriously complete his own duty work.
His speed in handling documents was very fast.
Nagasawa now often wondered whether he could still be considered a person.
His body was extremely hard. Even without using Chakra to strengthen it, things like Explosive Tags could not cause him harm, and he could easily resist Ninjutsu head-on.
Now he could even do the incredible operation of the soul leaving the body. This was completely different from Kato Dan’s Spirit Transformation Technique and the Yamanaka clan’s Mind Body Switch Technique.
However, Nagasawa was not some melodramatic person. It was only for an instant, and then he stopped thinking about it. Why care so much? He looked like a person, and he also felt that he was a person. That was enough.
However, he was rather curious about what those Otsutsuki would think they were. Gods? Or did they also regard themselves as "people."
Today’s work was not much. Nagasawa finished handling it in two hours.
After completing the work, Nagasawa poured himself a cup of water, then slowly walked out of his office.
He was not going to leave the Hokage Building, but to look for some fun.
Nagasawa held the water cup in one hand and put the other hand behind his back, looking exactly like an old cadre coming to inspect, and just like this, he walked into the advisors’ office.
When Nagasawa walked in, the two advisors were sitting on the sofa in the office, and it was unknown what they were chatting about.
Actually, the two advisors had their own independent offices.
However, perhaps because the two of them had once both been Second Hokage’s disciples, their relationship was relatively good, so when there was nothing to do, Mitokado Homura would go to Utatane Koharu’s office and sit for a while.
Sometimes, Nagasawa could even see the Third Hokage there too.
"Who came in without knocking?" Utatane Koharu heard the sound of the door opening and frowned.
Seeing that it was Nagasawa, her brows could not help but frown even deeper. Because their political views were different, her relationship with Nagasawa was not very good. She had always not quite approved of those policies Nagasawa proposed.
Even with Danzo, her old classmate from back then, when the two had differences for a period of time, Utatane Koharu also rarely gave Danzo a good face because their political views did not match.
Let alone that she originally did not like Nagasawa very much.
At first, Utatane Koharu even thought Nagasawa had forcefully climbed up by relying on Minato’s connection and going through the back door.
Although later Nagasawa used strength to prove himself, because of the initial impression, Utatane Koharu had never looked at Nagasawa favorably.
Let alone later, Nagasawa and Minato also overcame all objections and locked Danzo up, sentencing him to ten years at once.
These ten years were even the result of a benefit exchange. Minato took the opportunity to raise Nagasawa to the higher-ups, making him Hokage Assistant.
In Utatane Koharu’s view, although Danzo had made a mistake he should not have made, Danzo had also diligently done many things for Konoha over the years. Even if there was no merit, there was hard work.
At such an old age, he still had to spend the rest of his life in prison. How miserable.
Unfortunately, Nagasawa and Minato’s attitude was very firm. Even if the Third Hokage wanted to smooth things over and compromise by sentencing him to five years, Minato and Nagasawa also did not loosen their mouths, expressing that ten years was already the minimum, and originally it should have been thirty years.
"What, Assistant Nagasawa still has free time to come to this old person of the old era who has no right to speak?" Utatane Koharu opened her mouth strangely with hidden sarcasm.
"What are you saying? What old person with no right to speak? You only have a little more wrinkles, and the flesh on your face is loose. Other than that, you still look very much like seventy years old." Nagasawa smiled with a cultured and easygoing appearance.
Since Utatane Koharu had already opened fire, then he would also not be polite.
Utatane Koharu felt a long-lost feeling of blood boiling. She wanted to fiercely beat up this young man in front of her who had a cheeky smiling face.
Did he not know that a woman’s age was a forbidden topic? Moreover, where did she look seventy? She was clearly only over sixty. Six rounded to seven meant an eighteen-year-old girl!
But after recalling the heaven-destroying and earth-destroying scene when Nagasawa made a move, Utatane Koharu’s boiling blood calmed again.
Could not beat him, simply could not beat him. If she had this strength, there would have been no need for the Second Hokage to cover their retreat back then. They could directly turn around and attack into Kumogakure.
Although she could not beat him, Utatane Koharu could refuse to give Nagasawa a good face. She glared at Nagasawa, then looked at Nagasawa with a stern face.
As long as she did not fight Nagasawa, then Nagasawa would not count as having beaten her. Since Nagasawa had not beaten her, then it was her win.
Just as Utatane Koharu was thinking of the spirit victory method in her mind, Mitokado Homura, who was drinking tea, saw Nagasawa and his hand trembled.
The first time he was seen here by Nagasawa, Nagasawa used the reason of slacking off during working hours to say he would investigate them, and that day, Mitokado Homura indeed was slacking off.
In order not to let the matter expand, Mitokado Homura could only admit it himself.
At that time, Mitokado Homura even thought he would walk the old path of his old classmate Danzo and be locked up. He did not expect Nagasawa’s punishment to not be that serious, only deducting wages.
From then on, the number of times Mitokado Homura went to find Utatane Koharu decreased quite a lot. Even when he went, it was after finishing work.
However, after thinking that he had completed his work, Mitokado Homura became much more confident. His hand also stopped trembling, and he continued leisurely drinking tea.
As long as he himself had no loopholes, Nagasawa had no way to make trouble for him!
However, Nagasawa did not say that they were slacking off as Mitokado thought, and he did not even say anything about work.
Nagasawa casually said a few words and left again.
"Strange, this brat actually didn’t make trouble this time?" Utatane Koharu was somewhat puzzled. Just now, her spirit had been tense, and she had been rehearsing in her mind in what aspect Nagasawa might make trouble. In the end, Nagasawa actually left just like that, making her somewhat stunned.
"Could it be that this brat finally understood the importance of respecting seniors?"
Mitokado Homura did not speak and silently drank tea.
Just now, Nagasawa had sarcastically said Utatane Koharu looked like a seventy-year-old person. This degree was actually already considered not making trouble?
Without knowing it, just how much had their bottom line retreated?
Mitokado Homura felt melancholy. Nagasawa only needed to appear to give them this kind of pressure. When it came to high-level meetings, how could they still oppose him?
Actually, it was not purely because he disliked Nagasawa that he opposed the policies Nagasawa proposed.
Rather, in Mitokado Homura’s view, Nagasawa was a person even more radical than Danzo. Everything he did would make Konoha undergo great changes.
At least, Danzo would not propose a policy such as opening Konoha and attracting a large number of civilians to enter Konoha.
What was this? Was he trying to rebel? You, a ninja village, a military institution, what do you need that many people for?
Mitokado Homura always felt that Nagasawa seemed to want to fall out with the daimyo.
The reform of the Ninja Academy was also something that shook the foundation of ninja villages. This thing was something the entire Ninja World was learning from Konoha, yet he said change and changed it.
And also 4+3+4, a full eleven years of study time. What was the point of studying for that long?
Mitokado Homura of course would not agree to these policies. He could accept some mild small changes, but this kind he could not accept.
Although looking at the facts, it seemed that Nagasawa was right and he was wrong.
But Mitokado Homura did not think so. Could Nagasawa still keep being right forever? Being this radical, if it overturned, the ending would be eternal damnation.
Nagasawa, who walked out of the office, still had a happy smile on his face.
He remembered Utatane Koharu’s face in the office just now, very angry but not daring to fight, and became even happier.
He liked this kind of appearance where others were very angry but did not dare to make a move.
Who asked these two to keep opposing him, and also always relying on their age and seniority? Annoying to death.
Nagasawa felt that he was already kind. He only came to disgust them when he was bored. If it were some novel protagonists from his previous life, the two people’s corpses would already be cold.
Nagasawa considered that the two of them were also thinking for Konoha’s sake, so he also did not treat them like he treated Danzo.
After all, they were also not like Danzo. Danzo had truly damaged Konoha.
When it was almost noon, Nagasawa left the Hokage Building and went home to solve lunch.
In the afternoon, he went to the orphanage and acted as a volunteer worker for Nonou for free for a while. At night, the two played roleplay. It was the script of a female ninja who failed to infiltrate.
Besides Nagasawa’s main body, Nagasawa also separated Shadow Clones to be responsible for Naruto and Sasuke’s cultivation, and also to pay attention to the situations of those people who awakened Shinigami talent.
