"You are too ambitious. You will harm Konoha by doing this." Utane Koharu was stunned for a moment, then said.
"I won't harm Konoha. No one wants to see Konoha get hurt more than me. I always hope that Konoha can be peaceful and develop towards higher levels." Nagase said very seriously.
At this moment, even if a lie detector was used, it would have to determine that Nagaze was telling the truth, because Nagaze did not lie.
If Konoha is injured, his rewards will be deducted. If Konoha is destroyed, he is finished. If Konoha develops, he will become stronger.
This destined him to focus on developing Konoha and not harm it.
"Let me make it clear. I have already made many plans for the development of Konoha. Opening up Konoha and accepting a large population is one of the most important plans."
Although the population growth rate would not be slow in peacetime, it would take too much time to reach the level that Nagase wanted. A better way would be to directly accept the population from other places.
Nagaze is very confident in Konoha. As long as Konoha opens this door, many people will definitely be willing to come and live in Konoha.
It is inevitable that spies will infiltrate, but Nagase doesn't care. When Konoha develops in the future, with a population of hundreds of millions, it will be easy for some spies to infiltrate. It is only a matter of time.
Sandai took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled a cloud of smoke, stroked his mustache, and had a complicated expression on his face.
Nagase's plan was beyond his imagination, and Nagase's ambition was beyond his imagination. Compared with Nagase's goal, his old classmate Danzo was nothing.
He didn't know whether this was good or bad. He believed what Nagaze said, believed that Nagaze didn't want Konoha to be hurt, and believed that Nagaze wanted Konoha to become better and better.
But sometimes, things always go against one's wishes. Being wholeheartedly for Konoha may also cause harm to Konoha.
Through Nagase's words, the Third Generation could see a strong Konoha, a Konoha with a large population, prosperous streets, and a large number of elite ninjas, which was even more prosperous than the capital of the Fire Nation.
However, to grow to that level, one has to go through too many hardships.
The system of ninja village + country was first created by Konoha. Konoha was the founder of this rule and also benefited from it.
If you want to grow into the Konoha that Nagase talks about, the country + ninja village system will become a constraint.
The Daimyo will not sit idly by and watch Konoha develop like this. If Konoha accepts a large number of outsiders, the Daimyo will cut off Konoha's funds and order Konoha to stop its expansion, otherwise it will have no financial support in the future.
Why do you need so many people for a military base? Do you want to rebel
Perhaps Konoha can continue to develop under the pressure of the Fire Country Daimyo.
But at this time, a new stage will come.
Konoha, which wants to break the rules, will become the enemy of all the beneficiaries of the rules.
By then, Konoha will face encirclement and suppression from a large number of countries.
At that time, Konoha's reliable partner, the Fire Nation, will not only not help Konoha, but may even provide weapons and funds to Konoha's enemies.
"Ahem." Sandai cleared his throat twice, then said, "We've strayed a bit off topic. Let's get back to the main topic, aren't we discussing school reform?"
"Yongze, I have a question. According to your plan, elementary school is four years and middle school is three years. What should we do if those who fail to continue their studies after finishing elementary school or middle school?" asked Sandai.
Nagase's goal was beyond his imagination, and Sandai would have to spend a lot of time thinking and making a choice, so he chose to bring the topic back to the school issue.
"Because the six years of ninja school have been compressed into four years, the elementary school entrance exam will actually be lower than the original ninja school graduation standard.
As long as you attend classes seriously and complete your training, you will not be unable to continue your studies.
If you fail to get into higher education, you will have to repeat the year.
For junior high school, it is much more difficult to go to higher education, and you must study hard and practice hard to complete the process. However, for junior high school, you can choose not to go to higher education and become a Genin directly after graduation. "Nagaze said his arrangement.
It is unrealistic for every student to go to college, although college does not require all students to be geniuses.
But to be able to go to college, you at least have to have some talent or the quality of hard work.
It is impossible to let people who have gone to school for seven years become ordinary people. This would be a huge waste.
So Nagase’s idea is that graduating from junior high school is equivalent to graduating from the original ninja school, and one can become a Genin.
When Konoha develops into the size of Academy City in the future, it can set up some ordinary universities. Currently, the main goal is still to educate elite ninjas.
"This is very reasonable. Some people graduate from high school and become ninjas, while some continue their studies." The third generation nodded.
"Huruzen, you're not going to agree to his plan, are you?" Utane Koharu couldn't help but ask.
The Sandai stroked his mustache and said, "Xiaochun, we are all high-ranking officials of Konoha. We should consider everything for the good of Konoha. If the plan can make Konoha better, why not implement it
Let’s not talk about the university for now, I think this elementary school and middle school are well set up and can effectively strengthen the quality of Konoha ninjas.”
"I think that what Nagase said about the Ministry of Education is also very meaningful. The second generation of ninja school has played an important role in the development of Konoha.
Compared to before, Konoha has changed a lot in many places, but education is still in the second generation period, and it really should be taken seriously. "Minato thought for a while and said.
In fact, he was also surprised by Nagaze's words just now, but because he had a good relationship with Nagaze and Nagaze had revealed some related ideas before, he was able to remain calm.
"What the Fourth Hokage said makes sense. Education should be given more attention, and we should set up a Ministry of Education." The Third Hokage nodded and said.
The former Hokage and the current Hokage reached a consensus, and the two advisors had nothing to say, so let's just call it the Ministry of Education.
There was another round of discussion, and finally Nagase's proposal was passed.
However, in terms of specific implementation, Nagaze made concessions and implemented it in middle schools and primary schools first, and then postponed it to universities.
Nagaze was mentally prepared for this, as he had not originally planned to drop out of university immediately.
University is different from elementary and middle schools. First of all, there is a problem of teachers for various professional courses. Only senior Chunin and Jonin are qualified to take on these positions.
There are also specific majors and specific courses that require time to think about. In addition to professional courses, there are also public courses and elective courses.
Even the textbooks used by college students in classes are a big problem.
It was a bit too much for Nagaze to do all these things alone.
So Nagase recommended himself to become the Deputy Minister of Education, and the Minister was the third generation.
As we all know, the people who are in charge are all deputy ministers, so the third generation is just a mascot.
Nagazawa planned to set up a university research group in the name of the Ministry of Education to prepare for the establishment of the university.
There will be strong men like the Sandaime who are proficient in ninjutsu, and there will also be ninjas like Yuhi Shinku who have special skills.
