Therefore, if these ninjas with mental problems can be detected in advance and provided with psychological treatment at an early stage, it is possible to stabilize their spirits, reduce the loss of talent, and also play a positive role in stabilizing the village.

Therefore, in Shikaku's view, the psychological medical treatment project for young and adult ninjas should indeed be established, and it is a new major project that must be established.

But after looking at the amount of funds invested in mental medical institutions... and the expected funding given by the medical department, Shikaku deeply felt that Konoha was a poor man.

Of course, with Konoha's development funds, it is not that it is impossible to establish such a project on its own, but because of the medical talisman, Konoha's investment in the medical field is already burdened. If another major project of the same type is added this year,

Mental medical institutions...this takes into account not only the issue of financial investment, but also the cost of manpower and time, which is also an inaccurate thing.

A variable that is full of variables and uncertain factors. If you are not careful, it may put Konoha into a difficult situation where the capital chain is cut off.

"Mr. Shikaku, this is a project that the Hokage-sama requires the medical department to set up this year based on his observation of the medical system in the Kingdom of Demons. From the perspective of a medical ninja, I think this is something that is very necessary to implement.

.”

Asami Masumi looked at Shikaku with a serious expression.

Just when Shikaku was about to speak and express his point of view, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open and Tsunade walked in from the outside.

She was a little surprised when she saw Masumi Asami also in the office, but quickly regained her composure.

"Masumi, you are here too."

"Hokage-sama."

Asami Masumi turned around and bowed to Tsunade.

Tsunade waved her hand carelessly.

"You are coming here at this time. Have you already prepared the project plan for establishing a mental medical institution?"

"Yes, the details of the plan are in Mr. Shikaku's hands."

Asami Masumi answered neither humble nor arrogantly.

"Hokage-sama."

Shikaku knew he couldn't escape, so he took the initiative to give the document in his hand to Tsunade to read.

Tsunade took the hand, glanced briefly, then turned to look at Shikaku, and asked him: "Shikaku, you also read this plan, what do you think?"

"Then I will speak out boldly, Hokage-sama. I think from a long-term perspective, this is indeed a good thing that benefits the ninjas and the villagers as a whole."

Shikaku didn't care whether Asami Masumi was present or not, he expressed his truest opinions.

"In other words, from the perspective of gaining development time in the short term, you don't support it?"

Tsunade weighed the report document in her hand and understood Shikaku's hidden meaning.

"Yes, the development funds that we in Konoha can obtain from the Daming Palace every year are extremely limited. I think the Hokage should also know that the medical department already has a major research project, that is, medical treatment

The study of Fu. If you continue to invest now..."

Lu Jiu stopped talking here, but the meaning was self-evident.

It's hard to say whether other departments will be at odds because of this. With the manpower and material resources that Konoha's medical department can provide, it will be difficult to allocate enough energy to continue working on the second major project.

Judging from the investment cost theoretically calculated by the psychological medical institution, it is definitely a major project no less than the investment in medical amulets.

The result of this is likely to cause the Konoha medical system to be overloaded, which will affect other important departments that need development. In the end, it is more likely that the chicken feathers will be left behind.

"But as far as I know, there are many ninjas in the village who have mental illness, especially those under the age of twenty, or even younger. Their mental endurance is far less than we imagined.

Be strong. If this project can be established and finally completed, I cannot say that the problem will be solved perfectly, but at least effective prevention and control can be carried out to minimize risks in this area. Such benefits cannot be ignored. "

This is the result obtained by Tsunade after careful investigation.

In Konoha, quite a few ninjas suffer from hidden dangers in this area.

The only difference between them and those with mental disorders is that they have an opportunity to collapse emotionally.

For Ninja Village, every ninja is a very important resource. In order to protect this important resource of ninjas, any risks that may cause accidents to ninjas must be carefully controlled.

And not just ninjas, ordinary villagers may also have similar problems.

Especially for a large number of orphans who are local to the village or introduced from other places, the psychological state of these orphans needs to be understood at all times and professional advice on psychological counseling can be given to help them reduce the shadow in their lives. This will make more

People feel a sense of belonging to Konoha from the bottom of their hearts, supporting and protecting this village.

Start from the bottom.

"But the cost is too high, and the Daimyo will not cover it for us."

Shikaku spoke up about this practical problem.

The funds provided by Daming Palace are always limited. If investment in the medical field is increased, it means that other fields will be restricted.

Especially in the military field, in this national environment where big countries are constantly engaged in military competition, Konoha must invest most of the funds invested by the Daming Prefecture into military use every year, and set a minimum value to ensure Konoha's military strength.

It must be in a state of positive growth every year.

In this way, Konoha can ensure its long-term deterrent power internationally.

"So, why don't we ask the medical department to write a detailed plan first? You are the Jonin squad leader, so you should have something to do, right?"

Tsunade stared at Shikaku, seeming quite convinced of Shikaku's ability, thinking that he would be able to give the best of both worlds.

"..."

Lu Jiu was speechless for a moment. Is there any way to do it? Is it necessarily related to whether he is the Jonin squad leader?

Although the solutions to some problems are feasible in theory, they are very difficult to implement in practice. In other words, there is not much room for surgery at all.

Even so, Shikaku still said: "Then let me make it clear that it is impossible to implement a comprehensive mental health institution in the village at present. This is because the resources at the disposal of Konoha and the Demon Country cannot be carried out.

In a head-to-head comparison, because the gap is too big, it would be unwise not to imitate the Kingdom of Demons based on the actual situation. However, if Hokage-sama insists on implementing this mental medical treatment project, it is not impossible, but it must be completed gradually in several steps.

For example, in the first year, we will first provide relevant training for personnel. In addition, no additional funds will be invested. The remaining steps will be shelved until next year and gradually implemented in the year after. In this way, even if the funding expenditure slightly overflows, the risk can be controlled.

Within the minimum range.”

"In this case...that's okay."

Tsunade was thoughtful.

She had never thought that she could achieve success in one step. The road to mental health care was a long and arduous task for Konoha now.

"But there is also a problem here, that is, we do not have medical staff specially trained in this area. If you rely on yourself to explore, it may take a long time and you will not achieve obvious results."

Shikaku once again stated a very realistic situation.

The funding problem can be solved, but if there are no relevant talents, even if funds are injected, it may not be possible to do a good job in personnel training. Especially in the early stage, if some results are not achieved, it is easy to undermine the self-confidence of the staff.

"If there are no training personnel in this area, what do you think about getting funding from the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and expressed her opinion.

Shikaku and Asami Masumi were both stunned.

Shikaku frowned even more, he didn't expect Tsunade to make such an opinion.

It is true that, relying on its strong mobilization and economic strength, the Kingdom of Ghosts has established a considerable scale of mental healing institutions, which not only supply ninjas, but also provide corresponding services to civilians.

With such a complete institution, if Konoha can successfully connect with it, the benefits to Konoha will be self-evident. Establishing a so-called mental medical institution is not a problem.

However, the truth is not that simple.

Konoha and the Demon Country have such deep prejudices against each other that it is almost impossible to cooperate on major projects.

"Vice Principal Asami, what do you think of Hokage-sama's proposal?"

Shikaku did not give his own answer, but asked Asami Masumi.

Asami Masumi thought for a while.

"I think it shouldn't be possible. Because of the disputes in the past, many people have prejudices against the Kingdom of Demons... If Hokage-sama proposes cooperation with the Kingdom of Demons at this time, it's hard to say whether we can cooperate, but I'm sure

Some people will spread unfavorable rumors against Hokage-sama, which will affect Hokage-sama's reputation and cause the village to fall into a turmoil of public opinion again. In this way, the gain is not worth the loss."

After Asami Masumi expressed her views, Shikaku also nodded and said: "Yes, my views are the same as those of Vice President Asami. Besides, there is one more thing, that is what we Konoha can pay in this transaction."

Commission fee', I am afraid it is difficult to satisfy the Kingdom of Oni. From a purely profit perspective, there is no need for the Kingdom of Oni to lower its prices to support the development of Konoha. If the Kingdom of Oni really intends to negotiate with us, Konoha, because of this

Cooperation only shows that they have other purposes and are not sincerely assisting."

Seeing that both of them rejected her proposal, Tsunade felt a little depressed, but she didn't dwell on it for too long.

She knew very well that it was very difficult to change the existing culture in Konoha.

"In this case, let us train professionals who treat mental illnesses ourselves." Tsunade gave up the idea of ​​uniting the Demon Country at this time, and had no choice but to hold back her thoughts and said to Asami Masumi: "Masumi,

This task is completed by you, and the personnel are also personally selected by you. The operating funds will be transferred to the account of the medical department in three days. Like the medical symbols that are being studied, you must take this matter seriously and let it

These trainers are making a difference in this field."

"Yes, then I will retreat first, Hokage-sama."

Asami Masumi looked solemn, nodded, and quickly left the office and returned to Konoha Hospital.

After Asami Masumi left, Tsunade Aya relaxed, sat down on the office chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The position of Hokage is really tiring. Just after teaching students, I have to come back to deal with government affairs, and there is no time to rest at all."

Tsunade hammered her shoulder with her fist to make it feel less stiff.
To be continued...
