Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 30 A New Beginning

"Thank you, Itachi."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi exhaled smoke rings, frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head again, and said to Itachi.

"Anyway, for Konoha and Uchiha, you have done enough." Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly, these past few months, Uchiha Itachi has been meeting between Uchiha and Konoha Running around, exploring hard in the cracks between the two, and paying a lot of hard work both mentally and physically, as a 13-year-old boy, it is already extremely difficult.

Not to mention that in the battle a few days ago, in order to fight against Obito, he even used Amaterasu twice in a row, which was not a small burden for him who had just opened the kaleidoscope.

"Go back and rest first, and leave the rest to us."

He smiled at Itachi, and for the first time in seven years, Hiruzaru Sarutobi showed a look of relief when talking about the Uchiha clan.

"Don't worry, what you are worried about should not happen now."

"Yes." Upon hearing Hiruzaru Sarutobi's reply, Itachi's tense face showed a relaxed expression, he nodded again to the two people in the room, then turned and left.

"Hi Zhan..." Turning to bed Xiaochun looked at the back of Itachi Uchiha leaving, and said softly: "Is there really no problem with Uchiha?"

Although no real friction broke out, but facing a family that almost caused a rebellion, Koharu did not dare to trust them as easily as Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

"Probably." Hiruzaru Sarutobi was silent for a while, and after careful analysis in his mind, he continued: "Fugaku Uchiha is not an impulsive person. In the current situation, he will know what is right. choose."

"Well, since you said so."

Turning to bed Koharu glanced at him, since Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage has made such a decision, then as a consultant he can only agree, and she will acquiesce to this attitude for the time being until other things happen.

"Speaking of which." Speaking of the Uchiha clan, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered another thing.

"After Danzo was imprisoned, you are now in charge of Nena. Is there any clue in Uchiha Shisui's right eye?"

Although Danzo has been imprisoned by the village, he still left a lot of problems, the most important of which is the right eye of Shisui Uchiha, which can't be found anywhere.

Nowadays, if there is anything besides Obito that Sarutobi Hiruzen is most worried about, then probably only the eye of Uchiha Shisui who was snatched by Danzo.

Shishui's eyes can use the terrifying illusion of Bie Tianshen, even if the interval is long, but the illusion that can quietly change a person's mind is a huge threat to anyone, especially when that threat masters When in the hands of someone like Danzo.

If someone gets that eye, as long as it is used properly, a simple illusion is enough to subvert the flames of war that have finally subsided.

Compared with it, the Zhishui eye in Itachi's hand is not too important, because that eye is not yet usable and can be recycled after a while, but the other gods in Danzo's hand must not be passed on.

"Not yet..." Zhuanzhuan Xiaochun shook her head. Ever since she learned the truth about Zhishui's death, she has started to investigate the whereabouts of this Sharingan, but unfortunately, no one has been found yet. Satisfied reply.

Different from Konoha's other departments, Gen is a third-party force that does not belong to Hokage and the advisory group at all. Its recruitment plan, training institutions, and action plans are all under the control of Danzo, so even as an advisor, she , There is no way to hold the whole root firmly in the hand in a short time.

"You know, Gen is different from us..." Her face changed, and she explained with some embarrassment: "Danzo has probably done a fairly high degree of brainwashing on his subordinates, and wanting to subdue them is not what we imagined." It's so easy. And they are carrying spells, even the people in the mountain, it's hard to get anything from their minds."

Speaking of this, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun frowned deeply. If she hadn't participated in it herself, she would never have imagined that Danzo and Gen, who had made a lot of contributions to Konoha, had gradually become a villager in Konoha Village. Stubborn cancer, members recruited without the participation of Hokage and the advisory group, the action plan did not follow Hokage's instructions, and almost completely disobeyed Konoha's dispatch. His own private armed force belongs to the leader of Konoha Village in name, but in fact its fundamental goal is only to serve Danzo alone.

Whether as a consultant or Hokage, this kind of department that is completely out of control is not allowed.

Over the years, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu have not been very defensive against Danzo.It is of course impossible to say that they don't know anything about Danzo's little tricks, but as teammates for decades, their long-term contact makes them feel that they know Danzo very well.In addition, Danzo's secret actions are very secretive. Although there are some private activities, but as an underground organization hidden in the shadows and responsible for implementing espionage and assassination plans against enemy countries, it is reasonable to have some unknown secrets. , coupled with the obvious ability to cooperate with the actions of other departments, and made a lot of contributions in military and intelligence aspects in several wars, so the three of them didn't pay much attention to other issues, almost I never doubted Danzo's loyalty to Konoha.

But they forget that people will change. Perhaps Danzo a few decades ago was indeed a young man who could shed his blood for Konoha and his companions, but after decades of personnel changes, the former passionate youth also It has become strange, maybe in his heart he still regards protecting Konoha as his goal, but what he wants to protect is no longer just Konoha in the literal sense, but what he conceived in his heart, as long as own leaves.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi learned this from Yukimura's memory, and it was precisely because of this that he resolutely made the decision to completely restrict Danzo and transform the roots, because he knew that what Danzo wanted to pursue had already been achieved. It has deviated far from the normal track. If he is allowed to mess around according to his own wishes, sooner or later something bigger will happen, and there will not be enough Hokages to wipe his ass.

But it's not over just to get Danzang down, someone has to take care of the mess he left behind, right?Someone has to take over Gen's jobs, right?As the leader on the bright side, Hiruza Sarutobi, who has a lot of business affairs, of course doesn't have the energy to put in so much labor, so he can only let the only remaining consultant, Zhuan Xiaochun, share the work of Danzo.

In the past few days, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was dealing with all kinds of affairs, big and small, on the bright side, and Xiaoharu was secretly taking over the work of taking over the roots. I roughly sorted it out, but it is not so easy to find some secrets that Danzo deliberately hides.

Tuanzang has been arranged back and forth in Muye Village for decades. It can be said that it is the same as a mouse digging a hole. There is a hole here and a hole there. No one knows how many hidden secret bases this spy expert has made in the village. , who are loyal under his subordinates, and who are he arranged for, so not only Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt a headache, but also Xiaoharu secretly regretted why Danzo was given such a high degree of freedom before.

"Ri Zhan..." Thinking of this, Xiaochun couldn't help complaining: "Have you ever thought about arranging a few people to take Yan's place?"

It has to be said that the political structure of Konoha Village has its own reasons for arranging the four-person governance model.

On the one hand, compared with the one-word hall, multi-person deliberation can effectively synthesize views from various perspectives, avoiding disasters to the country caused by wrong orders issued due to prejudice and selfishness.On the other hand, with the increase of age and the development of the village, one person's energy is no longer enough to deal with too many government affairs. Take Sarutobi Hiruzen as an example. He is 64 years old this year, whether it is physical strength, energy or investigation. Kelatu has long since deteriorated, and it is impossible for him to do everything by himself as he was when he was young. Therefore, he needs some helpers to assist him in carrying out government affairs.

This is the original work of Mito Menyan and Shimura Danzo when they moved to Koharu.Hiruzaru Sarutobi is in charge of the overall situation, Yan Mito is in charge of strategy and diplomacy as the chief staff officer, Koharu is in charge of a part of Anbu, responsible for the defense of the village's outskirts and external security, Danzo Shimura is in charge of infiltration into other countries, intelligence and Eliminate the enemy ninjas that threaten Konoha Village.

Four people work together to form a complete political system.

But now, Danzo has been deprived of power, Mitomonyan has sacrificed, and Zhuanzhu Xiaochun has taken over Danzang's work, so no one is responsible for her original work and Mitomonyan's work. The current two-person governance model is not enough to solve the problem Muye Village is facing a difficult problem, so they need to find two reliable successors.

"I've already thought about this..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi calmly replied that he had already made his own plans regarding the question raised by Zhuanju Koharu.

"I plan to hand over Yan's job to Lu Jiu. With his wisdom, he should be able to do the job."

"Is it deer?"

After turning to bed, Xiaochun thought about it.Nod in agreement.

"He is indeed a suitable candidate."

Nara Shikahisa is the current patriarch of the Nara clan, Konoha Murakami Shinobi, and the deer in the Konoha Inoka Butterfly trio.In the third Ninja World War, Nara Shikahisa, Yamanaka Kaiichi and Akimichi Choza formed a team and made a lot of contributions on the battlefield, especially Nara Shikahisa, who is the most intelligent among pigs and butterflies. He assisted in the formulation of many strategic plans in the Third World War, and they all achieved outstanding results. It was decided after a long time of thinking about him to take over the position of Mito Kadoyan.

As a small family in Konoha Village, the Nara family is known as Hokage's think tank. Although they are not strong in terms of combat effectiveness, there are really few people in Konoha Village who can compare with them in terms of wisdom. The Kami Nara Clan is a small family, and every patriarch is a law-abiding person without too much selfishness, so it is more reassuring to entrust part of the work to him.

"As for the second candidate..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought for a moment, quickly ran through the candidates he had considered in his mind, and finally stopped on a figure.

"I think……"

There was a pause in his voice, an imperceptible smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he continued.

"It's time for our prodigal son to go home."
