Chapter 370: Fundamental Difference
"Advisor Koharu believes that my reform plan will waste too much resource and thinks that Konoha doesn't need a new department if it's just for one Academy."
"Advisor Homura thinks the process will take too long and will result in disadvantage in numbers of Konoha's active Shinobi. He also expresses concerns that Konoha's Ninjutsu may be more susceptible to be stolen by other villages. Lastly, he finds the plan overly complicated and unsuitable for Konoha."
"Are my summaries accurate, advisors?" Nagasawa looked at Koharu and Homura.
"No issues from me; that's exactly what I meant," Koharu said with a determined voice.
Koharu's determined gaze made it seem like she was a fighter unafraid of authority, viewing Nagasawa as a villain abusing power for personal gain.
Homura remained silent but nodded, indicating that Nagasawa's summary was acceptable.
"So, both advisors essentially share a common point of view, thinking that Konoha's current Academy is already optimal, and there's no need to complicate things. Is that right?" Nagasawa asked again.
"I didn't say the current Academy is optimal. What I meant is that Konoha is fine as it is, but your plan indeed overcomplicated things," Koharu quickly clarified.
"I agree. The plan is too complicated, too risky, and doesn't take how Konoha's current situations into account," Homura interjected.
"Alright, I understand your point now. Let me ask you both a question: what is the foundation of a village?" Nagasawa posed a question.
The two advisors exchanged glances, and then Koharu thought for a moment before responding, "Of course, it's Shinobi. Konoha became one of the five Great Shinobi Countries because of our excellent Shinobi."
