Chapter 37 offers opinions on the Konoha Great Barrier.
Sunlight slowly streamed into the room, and the ninjas of the sealing team gradually arrived for work.
When they entered the lab and saw Yuan Tuoye, they weren't surprised at all. After greeting him, they went about their own business.
However, to their surprise, Gen Takuno suddenly broke free from the experimental state at this moment.
You know, in the past, they would conduct experiments when the other party wasn't there, and they would continue conducting experiments after they left work. But this time it wasn't like that?
"You guys continue, I'm going to the Hokage's office." Gen Takuno gave the order and left. It was time for Minato Namikaze to start work as well.
"yes!"
…………
In the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze looked at the huge pile of documents in front of him and a wry smile appeared on his face.
Before becoming Hokage, he didn't think much of it, but after becoming Hokage, all the big and small things really made him feel mentally and physically exhausted.
At that moment, a knock sounded on the door.
"Please come in." Minato Namikaze sighed, then sat up straight behind his desk.
When he saw it was Gen Takuno, he relaxed a bit and joked with a smile, "Oh, it's Senior Takuno! What could have made you leave your sealing group to research sealing techniques and come find me?"
"Hokage-sama, you're Hokage now, just call me Minamoto Takuno." Minamoto Takuno reminded him again upon hearing the other's form of address.
However, Minato Namikaze just smiled and didn't answer, so Takuno had to give up. It wasn't the first time he had reminded him like this, and the other party didn't just call him that; basically, everyone he acknowledged would call him that.
For example, Shikaku-senpai from Nara Shikaku, Hiashi-senpai from Hyuga, and so on...
But those were all patriarchs of powerful families, while he was just a small sealing group leader, a position given to him by the other party. What qualifications did he have?
Since Minato Namikaze had no intention of changing his mind, he decided not to waste any more time here.
"I have no choice. Since you chose me to be the leader of the sealing team, I need to produce some results, right?"
"It's alright. Kushina and I both know your sealing technique level. You are absolutely qualified to be the leader of the sealing team," Minato Namikaze said, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.
"But just because you believe it doesn't mean others will. I'm here to present a modification plan for the outer barrier."
As he spoke, Gen Takuno handed a scroll to Namikaze Minato, on which were written the modified sealing technique and some suggestions.
Minato Namikaze took the scroll and started reading it, his expression quickly becoming serious.
The modified technique wasn't particularly complicated, and Minato Namikaze quickly deduced that the modification of the sealing technique was useful. Most importantly, the advice he gave was crucial.
The key for entering and exiting the barrier needs to be changed every once in a while.
This doesn't mean you won't be able to enter without a key; rather, if you enter without a key, you will be immediately recorded by the sealing sphere so that the dark forces can be assigned to monitor you.
It's unrealistic to expect a barrier so large that it can cover Konoha to have too many powerful functions.
Gen Takuno guessed that Minato Namikaze had already finished reading the contents and said.
"Currently, the key to enter and exit the barrier will not be changed, which will obviously lead to a problem: the rogue ninja of Konoha also know this key. So if the other party leads the way, then this barrier will be useless and will not be able to perform its function of advance surveillance."
As he spoke, he thought once again of Itachi Uchiha, who had been a rogue ninja for so many years, and then openly led that shark-headed man through the barrier to the gates of Konoha.
"Indeed, I hadn't noticed that before."
Minato Namikaze said that every ninja village has rogue ninjas, and Konoha is no exception.
So what Yuan Tuoye said is right. Although using the key cannot allow large-scale entry into the barrier, as it would be too conspicuous and would attract the attention of the sealing team even if they had the key, what if the rogue ninja only brought a few people with them?
Isn't this the normal situation? And these people are all Jonin?
Every Jonin is an elite; if they hide in the village and cause trouble, the destructive power would be immense.
Even if his Flying Thunder God technique is incredibly powerful, it's impossible for him to directly identify the other party's identity and thus identify them all.
"Do you have any suggestions regarding the update interval, senior?" Minato Namikaze asked, though he had some thoughts on the matter but didn't voice them.
Gen Takuno couldn't help but glance at Namikaze Minato. The other man had gradually gotten used to his high position. Even though he should have already had his own ideas, he still let his subordinates speak first.
This stems from concerns that there might be loopholes in what they say, or from a desire to prevent their ideas from being completely inferior to their subordinates' suggestions.
He gathered his thoughts. Since it was his idea, he couldn't say he had no suggestions, so he spoke up.
"There are two situations: one is to replace them immediately if there are a lot of rogue ninjas, and the other is to replace them when most ninjas are in Konoha during the New Year."
"Okay, let's do it that way then. You can also attend the meeting with the advisors later." Minato Namikaze nodded. It was similar to what he had thought. Changing too frequently was not a good thing. This compromise was quite good.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Tuono asked, "Can I not participate?"
Minato Namikaze looked at Takuno Minamoto and, seeing his helpless gaze, said, "No, since it was your suggestion, you naturally have to attend."
"Alright then." Yuan Tuoye sighed, revealing a look of utter despair.
"Stop complaining. I envy you, senior, for being able to do the research you love. Unlike me, I'm overwhelmed by so many documents every day," Minato Namikaze said with a smile, taking advantage of the fact that it was the first day of work to chat for a while.
Gen Takuno glanced at the large pile of documents in front of Minato Namikaze and said, "You could also find an assistant to help you."
"That seems to be true, but who can we ask?" Minato Namikaze asked, somewhat troubled.
"I don't know about that." Takuno Minamoto knew that Shikaku Nara was absolutely capable of doing the job, but he didn't want him to become Minato Namikaze's assistant. The other man was too smart, and it wouldn't be good if he discovered something.
Finally, Minato Namikaze looked at Takuno Minamoto and asked, "Why don't you give it a try, senpai?"
"Lord Hokage, please don't joke around. I'm not suitable for this position." Minamoto Takuno refused directly. Although the position was quite powerful, it was his idea, and he still wanted to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Most importantly, as Minato Namikaze's assistant, he spent too much time in contact with him every day, making it impossible for him to do many things.
Minato Namikaze was not surprised by Takuno Minamoto's rejection. He was just asking, and the other party had already mentioned that being the head of the sealing team was the limit. If it went any higher, the advisors would have objections.
