On some major matters, the Hokage needs to combine the opinions of various Hokage assistants, consultants, and department leaders before they can truly make a decision.

Some of the annoying Hokage assistants would unscrupulously interfere in Konoha's government affairs according to their own ideas, completely ignoring Minato Hokage's identity.

That's right, it's Danzo, Koharu, and Mito Monobu.

The three of us didn't even give Hiruzen face, so why would we give you, a weakling and junior Hokage, face?

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not interfere much in Konoha's government affairs. Apart from still holding some of the ANBU's power, he let Namikaze Minato do what he wanted most of the time.

Only when he thought that some of Namikaze Minato's decrees and measures would cause losses to Konoha, would he go to Minato to talk to him.

Minato, who has a weaker personality and feels that he is inexperienced, will subconsciously choose to give in, change, and amend government orders, and follow the guidance of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

There seems to be no problem. As an elder, Hiruzen Sarutobi imparts some life experience to the younger generation to improve Minato's posture level, which is reasonable.

But Minato just felt a little uncomfortable.

It seems that Konoha is the same without him. It seems that Konoha during the Yondaime period is no different from Konoha during the Sandaime period.

Only Mai Uchiha, the Hokage candidate and Hokage advisor, liked Minato the most.

Because Mai Uchiha would seek Minato's opinion on everything, she also actively contacted people from Kirigakure and Sunagakure, and organized large and small meetings every three days.

For example, [East (Konoha) Water and West (Sunagakure) Diao], [Three Kingdoms Joint Exercise], [Mokugiri Gongshang Summit], [Misa Gakushu Summit]...

Large and small meetings are held to find things for the sect masters to do. Because they are related to the establishment of diplomatic relations between different ninja villages, every meeting is very important and needs to be discussed repeatedly.

In addition to large and small meetings, Mai Uchiha also arranged many activities for the master, such as [Pensions for the families of Konoha's fallen ninja], [War and Peace Speech], [Speech on the importance of protecting the environment of the ninja world]...

The sect master is like a top, so busy that it flies up due to the Uchiha dance.

But the master felt very fulfilled and proud. He believed that the various meetings he held, the various occasions he attended, and the various speeches he gave had truly changed the ninja world and Konoha.

At least it's better than working step by step in the Hokage's office and being sprayed by those few Hokage consultants.

Fugaku asked Mai Uchiha about why so many meetings, activities, and speeches were arranged for the Hokage.

Uchiha Mai's answer was: "Nonsense.

Only by sending the Hokage to participate in various meetings, activities, and speeches, can I, as the Hokage candidate, advisor, and head of the powerful department, manage Konoha better."

What Mai Uchiha does is actually no different from Danzo, Mito Kaden, Koharu Koharu, and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It's just that Sarutobi Hiruzen is gentler than the first three, and Uchiha Mai is gentler than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

For example, when Kirigakure and Konoha reached a business cooperation, even though it was a meeting attended by the sect master, it took half a month to sign the agreement.

But when it came down to it, it was Uchiha Mai who did the job.

After a government decree is promulgated, it will always encounter various troubles and need to be modified in various ways according to the actual situation.

Everyone wants to take over the power of Konoha and let the Hokage act according to their own ideas, but Mai Uchiha's method of doing things is more clever.

He divided a thing into the planning stage, the negotiation stage, and the execution stage, making the master waste a lot of time and energy on the first two stages, especially the first stage.

In fact, the first two stages are unnecessary. No matter whether the sect master goes to attend the meeting or not, no matter how detailed the sect master discusses the agreement, Uchiha Mai will do it.

It gave the sect master a huge sense of participation and satisfied the sect master's vanity and sense of responsibility. When it comes to Konoha, multiple ninja villages, and even the entire ninja world, no one is not serious.

In fact, the most important and most inconspicuous execution stage has always been in the hands of Mai Uchiha.

Naruto? Just a mascot.
