. : War on Paperwork Enters Third Year : .
Konhagakure no Sato, Fire Country –
Tsunade announced Tuesday that more taxpayer money will be diverted to fund the war on paperwork that has been raging in her office since she accepted the position of Hokage three years ago. The decision, which was narrowly passed by a vote among her most trusted advisors Shizune and Tonton, was met with mostly apathy by the public. However, the Hokage clearly asserts that the war can be won.
"My free time has been oppressed by malignant sheets of processed trees for far too long," declared Tsunade. "It's finally time to take a final stand."
During the address, Tsunade laid out a historic three-point plan against paperwork that she hopes will end the conflict over the hotly contested area over her desk; a conflict that has so far resulted in much frustration and pain in the form of stinging cuts across her fingertips.
The plan—which some are calling that crazy-lady's most-insane plan to date—calls for the formation of a special ANBU-like counter-paperwork unit purposed to eliminate the people who send her the documents in the first place. Under the new plan, Konoha-nin are also advised to burn down all trees in the general vicinity to prevent the production of new paper. In addition, Tsunade urges citizens to now rely solely on the use of handshakes and verbal agreements for all matters that once relied upon writing up complicated contracts or reports that needed to be stamped and/or signed.
Tsunade says she will put the plan in to action as soon as she gains the approval of the village elders and promises not to intimidate them in her favor through means of physical force this time around.
