Chapter 587: Guidance Hall!

Chapter 587: Guidance Hall!

Everyone looked at the files Fujin had placed on the desk with curiosity. Fujin said, "Some time ago, Katsuhiro had come to me with a proposal. Even though his proposal had a lot of flaws, it pointed out an important flaw in our current system and also gave quite an ingenious solution."

Shikaku squinted his eyes and thought, 'Katsuhiro? That Elite Jounin who has been frequently visiting his office?'

Others in the council knew about his visits to Fujin's office as well. It wasn't something that could be hidden. Besides, Fujin didn't particularly care about it. One of the civilian members thought, 'Katsuhiro was working with him on a proposal? Why did he keep dropping hints that he wanted Fujin's seat if that's what he was doing?'

Fujin continued, "The issue he pointed out was that ninjas who belong to ninja clans get guided by their seniors. Considering the varying specialities of everyone, they can get help in any area they want to.

However, civilian ninjas don't have the same opportunity. Even though the jutsus are available in the library, without a proper teacher, learning the jutsus isn't easy. When one tries by himself, then mistakes can occur and injuries can happen.

Even though everyone is assigned a sensei while graduating from the academy, a majority of the senseis are just ordinary Chunins who aren't that knowledgeable. Even if a Jounin is assigned as the sensei, he or she won't know everything. Not to mention, once their sensei dies in battle, they no longer have anyone they could ask for guidance."

Everyone in the room subconsciously nodded. What Fujin said was true. Even so, most of the clan leaders raised their guards slightly. They still remembered the changes Fujin had recommended for the academy. Hiruzen had started implementing some of Fujin's recommendations. And now, Fujin was proposing something that would reduce the difference between clan ninjas and civilian ninjas even further.

Though Fujin noticed it, he ignored it and continued, "Katsuhiro came up with an ingenious solution to solve this issue. He suggested that we make a Guidance Hall in the center of the village.

The basic idea is that civilian ninjas can put up requests in the Guidance Hall for the jutsus or techniques for which they need guidance. For instance, if someone wants to practice Fire Dragon Flame Bullet jutsu, he or she can put up the request in the Guidance Hall. If a veteran civilian ninja who has mastered that jutsu wants to teach it to that ninja, then he can do so.

Of course, doing it on a one-by-one basis will not be feasible. So, the Guidance Hall will be responsible for gathering all the requests and collating them. That way, a veteran can guide multiple youngsters at the same time. If it is implemented properly, then we could help a large number of Chunins become Jounins."

Hiruzen was surprised. He immediately thought, 'Hmm, not a bad idea. I had been thinking about this issue for some time as well. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with anything. That said, there are some major flaws.'

As Hiruzen expected, Hiashi said, "While it sounds good on paper, creating a Guidance Hall in the center of the village is unfeasible. The cost that will be required to move the shops and other buildings currently there would be enormous."

Inoichi added, "That's right. It might be worth several years of our budget. While the idea is good, such costs aren't something we can afford."

The civilian council members immediately began calculating how they could argue against them. However, to everyone's surprise, Fujin nodded and said, "That's true. In fact, it's not just about the cost. Creating the Guidance Hall there will also cause Konoha to lose an excellent opportunity. It is one of the major flaws that were in Katsuhiro's proposal. Actually..."

Hiruzen said, "That is very well thought. I agree with these methods. Continue."

Fujin nodded and said, "The second major flaw is restricting the Guidance Hall to just civilian ninjas. While it is true that currently civilian ninjas don't get much guidance, that's no reason to keep the clan ninjas out.

While the clans represented by the people in this room are relatively well off, there are several clans that are too small due to the losses they took in previous wars. They will benefit from the Guidance Hall as well. Even the larger clans can benefit. For example...'

Fujin gazed towards Hiashi and continued, "I have never met any Hyuga clan ninja who knows any Taijutsu other than Gentle Fist. So if any Hyuga clan youngster wanted to pursue any other form of Taijutsu, then the Guidance Hall would be a great help."

Since Hiashi was the first one to speak, Fujin decided to target him. He continued, "Besides, there could be other things that ninjas in your respective clans don't know. Or even if they know, they might not know it as well as someone who has devoted a long time to mastering that particular technique. So, even the ninjas from your clans can benefit.

That's why, I changed the proposal to make the Guidance Hall open to every Konoha ninja irrespective of their background."
