Chapter 181 Transactions and Gifts

The document Natsuhiko saw was really nothing else, and These are some of Anbu's daily missions and planning.

Anbu's missions are huge, this is not cracking a joke, Natsuhiko's eagerness to expand Anbu aside from accumulating strength for himself is also very important.

That is, he does not want to be entangled in a lot of government affairs in Anbu, so he is forced to go to jail in Anbu.

The Anbu fighter needs a boost so Natsuhiko can reach more places.

And with the increased number of administrative staff, Natsuhiko does not need to be burdened with a lot of chores all day long.

Some trivial matter may seem easy and simple, but the number of them is unimaginable.

For Natsuhiko, who never thought about doing everything personally, such destructive power was more difficult to accept than fighting Nine-Tails.

So he needs more government officials to work, at least help him to solve those damned things that are not important but have to be dealt with.

Especially with the increasing number of fighters, it is conceivable that there will be more and more such things, so the proposal to get government personnel first will be put forward.

"But this is not a trivial matter, it's still about Hokage."

Natsuhiko's face changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth had already been outlined. With a smile, he really didn't expect that he had encountered such an interesting thing.

The content of this document is not too much, but it is enough to make Natsuhiko's heart move, because it records Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision to set off recently to meet Daimyo in Land of Fire.

This is the power of Anbu!

Anbu is the department that can fully grasp the whereabouts of Hokage from beginning to end, even though Anbu and Third Hokage are essentially separated now.

However, in terms of separation, the necessary information and information Anbu can still get, just like now.

According to information Natsuhiko knows, Sarutobi Hiruzen went to see Daimyo for a very simple purpose, just to inform Daimyo that Konoha's Hokage was temporarily replaced.

As for how long it will last, Sarutobi Hiruzen is impossible to talk to Daimyo, and there is no need to tell Daimyo this kind of thing.

Apart from this, Natsuhiko guessed that Sarutobi Hiruzen was planning to get some money back from Daimyo.

After all, rebuilding Konoha is a big project. Although it is very convenient for ninja to do this kind of thing, you must know that there are not only ninjas in Hidden Leaf Village.

There are tens of thousands or even 100,000 residents here. So many people have to work to earn income.

The rebuilding of Konoha can provide a lot of jobs, so anyone will have to calculate the economic account.

After all, ninja have missions to accept, and they also have certain subsidies from the village, and ordinary villagers don't have such things, they can only find ways to make a living.

“So, go to Daimyo and ask for a huge amount of assistance, and then you can provide enough jobs to the villagers.

Forget about Nine-Tails at work for a while. At the same time, the surviving residents can have a huge income.

And these money can also be used for the medical department, which is nominally a relief fund for the injured residents and ninja. "

Natsuhiko's mind just turned a little bit, and he already touched a lot of things, even a lot of Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts.

And after thinking about these things, Natsuhiko also had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen wants money, and he is also interested in Nine-Tails' chakra, can he temporarily cooperate with Sarutobi Hiruzen for a while?

Of course, this kind of cooperation is probably only a taste, because Natsuhiko himself has taken a fancy to the money!

Anbu's development also requires money, especially as he plans to expand Greatsword's personnel aggressively, and the funds needed here are also astronomical.

Sarutobi Hiruzen will allocate funds, there is no doubt about this, after all, in order to maintain the peace within Konoha, he can sometimes endure humiliation.

If this is Danzo, I'm afraid it's not impossible for this guy to directly announce the dissolution of Anbu.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen will allocate funds, but the amount of the allocation is really debatable.

Natsuhiko didn't want to get stuck in his neck. Originally, he planned to use the name of Namikaze Minato to find someone from the finance department directly.

But now there is such an opportunity, plus he can get the chakra of Nine-Tails, then he must also participate in it, so I am afraid that I will really cooperate with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Thinking of this, Natsuhiko stood up and looked towards Hokage's Office not far away.

Since I have decided to go to the capital of Land of Fire together, it is natural to visit Sarutobi Hiruzen as an Anbu Commander.

“Meet Sarutobi Hiruzen in advance and discuss this matter well. By the way, you can also see the attitude of this old fogey more intuitively.”

See Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's actual attitude is much better than Natsuhiko's own guess here.

Raising his hand, Natsuhiko tapped the table a few times, and soon an Anbu ninja appeared in front of him.

"Minister sama." This Anbu was extremely respectful.

"Notify the three Captains of Trout, White Fang, and Antelope or the acting Captain, I'm going out, and they have something to solve by themselves, you know?" Natsuhiko calmly gave own command.

"Yes, Minister sama!" The Anbu immediately lowered his head and responded, and then he disappeared directly into the office.

looked The back of Anbu left, I have to say that the taste of power is really charming, just a word Natsuhiko can solve a lot of problems.

This is probably irresistible to anyone, especially those ninjas who are old and declining in strength, but once stood on the Peak.

With a chuckle, Natsuhiko didn't bother to dissect what Konoha's so-called Big Four thought.

He just needs to know that these people are the ones standing in his way.

chakra was slightly shocked, but his silhouette disappeared in the office in an instant, and when he appeared again, he was already in the Hokage Residence!
Walking forward, many ninjas were stunned when they saw him.

And Anbu, who was stationed here, didn't check him, and he didn't take much time to arrive at the door of Hokage's Office.

"knock knock." There was a light knock on the door, and Natsuhiko was standing there waiting.

"Come in." Soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came from inside the gate, and Natsuhiko pushed open the gate and walked in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was seriously looking at the report in his hands. He didn't look carefully to see who came in. I have to say that he was really doing his due diligence.

However, when he lifts the head and notices that the person coming is Natsuhiko, he is obviously stunned for a moment, and his eyes become more alert in this brief moment.

But he relaxes quickly, and then he asks in a slightly eerie tone.

"Why are you here, Minister Natsuhiko?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen is really stunned now, because he has no idea how this guy Natsuhiko got here.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is really wary of Natsuhiko this guy, because strictly speaking he is also one of Natsuhiko's victims.

When Natsuhiko approached him, even if he didn't trust Natsuhiko so much, he accepted Natsuhiko's existence anyway.

And in order to better control this descendant of Senju Clan, he did not hesitate to send the third battallion's big Captain.

To his astonishment, this guy Natsuhiko took the third battallion Captain and looked like he was continuing to serve him, but actually kicked him away and got close to Namikaze Minato!
Such a betrayal is not so bad, after all, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't fully trust Natsuhiko either.

But Natsuhiko's betrayal made Namikaze Minato completely determined and took the entire Anbu forcibly, which made him a little depressed to the extreme.

That's a serious backstab, even if he's somehow relieved that Namikaze Minato knows how to use his Hokage powers.

But the loss of the entire Anbu and the fact that Danzo's handle was held by someone else still made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel extremely heartache.

Now that Natsuhiko runs up to him, it feels like a fiercely disgusting you.

And with no trace of politeness snatching things from your hand, you have no choice but to run in front of you, which is naturally very uncomfortable.

At the same time, be careful, this guy in the province has a bad idea.

“Hokage-sama.”

Natsuhiko didn't know what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, he just kept a gentle smile nodded.

Then he raised his hand and made a 'retreat' hand seal, just for a moment, Anbu who stayed in Hokage's Office appeared one by one, and soon they left the office silently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at all this indifferently, and then he waited until everyone left before he silently shook the shaking ones head.

"You're not here to show me off how well you control Anbu, are you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice sounded distant and angry.

"If that's the case, then all I can say is that you're still too naive."

"Hokage-sama, why do you think I'm here to show you off?"

Natsuhiko shook the shaking ones head gently, and he looked innocent.

"If I really want to show off, I will have to wait until I finish the expansion. Of course, this is not an easy task."

"oh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head slightly, his eyes slightly asked casually.

"Minister Natsuhiko submitted the proposal with confidence, and I agreed, why is it not easy?"

"Because, ah, to complete the expansion thoroughly and quickly , I'm going to completely lower Anbu's standards."

Natsuhiko's attitude was still so gentle, he looked like he was facing an old friend.

"But I'm not going to lower the bar, so either it won't fill up completely, or there will be no reserves in the future, which is really not easy."

Sarutobi Hiruzen Looking silently at Natsuhiko, he didn't answer this question, but he agreed with Natsuhiko's words in his heart.

He is really sighing now. He originally thought that Natsuhiko was seeking instant benefit and wanted to 'expand the territory', but also felt that Namikaze Minato was planning to use Anbu to get a bigger bargaining chip for himself. .

So he didn't object to the proposal, on the one hand he really didn't intend to intervene in order to hold Danzo now.

On the other hand, he wanted to see how Anbu tossed like this, when the time comes when the quality goes down, causing trouble, and even negatively affecting Konoha, how Namikaze Minato will end up.

As a result, he found that it seemed that Natsuhiko, the little demon, seemed to see everything clearly, which made him even more puzzled.

Why would he do this when he knew this was the case?

"I think Hokage-sama must be very confused?"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could ask, Natsuhiko had already spoken, only to see him smile and then slowly said.

"It's actually very simple, that is, intensive training. After all, the current personnel are still enough.

Then let the current members maintain the previous establishment, while the new members are Continuous training.

At the same time, I also have to select suitable new people from each clan or orphanage, and then eliminate some people I don't trust.

Wait until all the Anbu is qualified, and Anbu has become an iron plate, and has become a person worthy of my trust."

"It will not be possible to do this in a few years."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Natsuhiko suspiciously, he wondered why Natsuhiko told him, and even more what was Natsuhiko's purpose.

But he doesn't care, he can now know Anbu's future plans, which is a good thing for him.

“Orphanage is really good, but the child innate talent in it varies greatly, and the personnel are not necessarily enough.

Great Clan is really good, but they let their own people into Anbu, But I hope they can get in touch with Hokage and information.

If it's just endless training, I'm afraid they won't be satisfied.

Apart from this, there's still money Question, do you think the current Konoha has that much money?"

"clan ninja is easy to handle, as long as the rotation is good."

Natsuhiko found a place to sit. Come down, and then continue to speak.

"I can rotate them to do some missions. After all, they are all fighting strength, so if you don't use them, you will be wasted.

As for the money, this is really a big trouble, because expansion requires A lot of money.

Konoha is really struggling now, but is there someone behind Konoha, like Daimyo?"

Having said this, Natsuhiko stopped and Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes flashing.

He finally knew why this kid Natsuhiko came to him, and he told Anbu's series of plans.

It turned out that this kid knew about his going to Daimyo's place, and probably guessed that he wanted to take money from Daimyo.

And this kid may have some ideas, and he is also very interested in the money in Daimyo's pocket.

So he treated his plan as a deal, and the result of that deal was that he got a piece of Daimyo too!

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the tobacco pipe and set it on fire, he took a deep breath and then spit it out slowly.

He thought for a moment before asking, "You guessed I'm going to Daimyo to ask for money? Then you know what I'm going to do with the money?"

" Hokage-sama, now is not the time to test my overall ability?"

Natsuhiko shook the shaking ones head gently, but since Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, he didn't mind answering.

At the same time, he also intends to let Sarutobi Hiruzen know that what he is looking for this time is 'cooperation', not 'tail wagging', and even he is still in a strong position!
"But since Hokage-sama has asked, I will naturally answer it.

In fact, I guess Hokage-sama has two directions for using this money. The first is to use To hire the residents of the village.

Rebuilding the village with residents can provide enough jobs and take advantage of the busyness to temporarily forget the pain.

The most important thing is that the residents We rebuild the Konoha with our own hands, and the significance here is even more extraordinary.

As for the second aspect, it is handed over to the medical department. And the cost of residents.

It can even provide a certain basic guarantee for their lives in the future, I think Hokage-sama decides this way?"

After saying these things, Natsuhiko stopped smiling looking Sarutobi Hiruzen while Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked calm.

It's just that the smoke that keeps wafting out of the cigarette rod seems a little irregular at this time, as if the cigarette rod shakes a bit.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was really taken aback, he knew that Natsuhiko had guessed that he wanted to get the money, and that the kid might have figured out something of his own.

But he really didn't expect this kid to think so much, if it weren't for these things, they were just constructed in his heart and not written down.

He even wondered if this kid was using Anbu's privileges to keep an eye on him all the time.

This kid is really a smart guy!
"Also, Hokage-sama."

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts were racing, Natsuhiko spoke again.

"I also know why Hokage-sama gave me Anbu, besides the appointment of Fourth Hokage sama, there is also something about Danzo?"

One Hearing Danzo's face, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes finally changed slightly, and he immediately lifted the head to stare at Natsuhiko.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not stupid. Although I said that the education of the last one should be left at the end of the last one, I also got the benefits."

Natsuhiko said casually, He leaned back slightly and completely leaned on the sofa, and then said with a faint smile.

"But the handle is a handle because it can be used over and over again.

I don't want to be too shameless, but Hokage-sama also needs to consider Danzo's situation, no

Besides, I didn't help Hokage-sama by expanding Anbu also to solve some minor troubles, such as troubles at Root?"

Here, Natsuhiko laughed without saying a word. Looked Sarutobi Hiruzen in slang, at this moment he has completely suppressed Sarutobi Hiruzen!
Once someone has a weakness or a handle, then this person can only accept the mercy.

This sentence is definitely not empty talk, the bald-headed Russell Old Brother in Natsuhiko's memory is so miserable, that is, his handle was caught by an old fox.

And for Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Danzo thing is definitely a deadly handle.

If he wants to keep Danzo, then he is definitely weak in the face of Natsuhiko to some extent, and even many problems can only choose to compromise.

But Natsuhiko didn't do him no good. Although his words were fuzzy, Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously understood immediately.

He took a few deep breaths with the cigarette stick, and then blew out the green smoke, but he seemed to have come to some conclusions.

"I have to say, you are a little bit beyond my expectations."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked Natsuhiko seriously, and his tone was so solemn.

"I see sensei's shadow on your body, you Senju Clan seem to have trained you very well."

"many thanks to Hokage-sama's Appreciate it, but the place where I learned the most was actually when I was in Anbu."

Natsuhiko smiled and shook the shaking ones head, his smile so bright now that he had already guessed the answer .

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored Natsuhiko's answer, and he asked directly, "I can agree to your request, how much do you want."

"It's unclear at the moment, But I think I go with Hokage-sama, it will be more sincere." Natsuhiko did not give an answer directly, but said with a different request.

"I'm very relieved to have Anbu Commander as a security guard." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Natsuhiko, then directly nodded.

"Then ask Hokage-sama to keep it a secret for now, and I'll be there when I leave." Natsuhiko stood up, then bowed slightly: "I can serve as Hokage-sama's bodyguard, too. It's an honor."

"Anbu has a lot of work to do, so I won't keep you." Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table with a cigarette stick: "Then, I'll wait for the minister to arrive."

Natsuhiko nods with a smile and walks out of the office.

At this time of meeting, Natsuhiko never got what he wanted, and he quietly pushed Sarutobi Hiruzen fiercely, how could he be unhappy?
After walking out of Hokage Residence, Natsuhiko's eyes looked towards the sky, where the scorching sun was hanging in the sky.

Even though it is already autumn, the weather is still very warm. Such good weather is naturally worthy of a good mood.

Natsuhiko at this time dug a pit for Sarutobi Hiruzen, a huge pit.

Although I don't know when the formidable power really started to show, Natsuhiko knew, and Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he had agreed.

Natsuhiko broke Anbu's restrictions with his own hands, so as a brother troop with the same origin as Anbu, Root can naturally break the original shackles.

They can justifiably start to expand and start getting more talents!

Although there may be a talent scramble with Natsuhiko, they are unlikely to move now because Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't have that much energy.

So Natsuhiko still has time, and he can force Sarutobi Hiruzen fiercely, making Third Hokage feel the pressure constantly, and finally let Third Hokage hand over this matter to Shimura Danzo!

"Once this kind of thing is handed over to Shimura Danzo, are you afraid that Sarutobi Hiruzen will be far away from causing public anger?"

Natsuhiko thought silently, even at this moment. Forcing Sarutobi Hiruzen he thought about it.

Orochimaru is also a good man, and he will defect after the shock, so why don't you give him a ride?

"How's the information?"

In Root's base, Danzo looked indifferently at ninja in front of him, and asked in a cold voice.

It has been almost a week since he placed the order, and he has been waiting silently for this week.

He was in a hurry, but he also knew that being in a hurry was useless. Without the support of information, he didn't even know what time Sarutobi Hiruzen set off.

It is even more impossible to know how his starting route will be chosen and the amount of defensive power he is equipped with, so he must endure the temp.

The waiting was extremely painful, but fortunately, Root's people never let him down.

After all, he has been operating in Root for so many years, even now he is suppressed by fiercely and cannot be dispatched without order.

But there are also ninjas within Root who are completely loyal to him, and these people help him and cooperate with him in many, many things.

For example, a Root ninja threatened a Hokage's Office government ninja through the information he had collected in the past, and asked him to come up with a lot of things.

This ninja faced such a threat, especially since Knew himself was targeted by Root, he knew he had no choice.

Either do it, then the whole family disappears together, apart from this has no result.

It's not that he didn't think about telling Sarutobi Hiruzen about this, but he did have some hatred in his heart.

This hatred comes from Third Hokage. In the Nine-Tails incident, Fourth Hokage worked hard for Konoha, and it even took years for him to recover.

While Third Hokage came out unscathed, he didn't live up to the 'Hokage must protect Konoha' mantra.

His wife died to save his son in the catastrophe of this time, and naturally he could not calm down.

Whether it was out of hatred for the loss of his wife, or to protect his child, or his own handle was caught, he could only choose the person who cooperated with Root.

"The information is clear, Danzo-sama."

The Root ninja's voice was low and respectful.

“If there are no surprises, it is the past few days that will leave, and I will keep people looking at the situation of Third Hokage.

As for the route, I have not got any changed information, and the amount of defensive power seems to be followed by only a few Anbu."

"Are there only a few Anbu?"

Danzo nominated, although he felt that the information was still lacking, However, considering the current situation, he felt that it was basically enough.

He is very familiar with some ideas and ideas of his Old Partner. This time is not the new Hokage taking office, so he naturally impossible to make a big move.

Maybe he might even choose to meet Daimyo quietly, and not make much fanfare.

In this case, his escort force is naturally impossible, especially now that Konoha is organizing and rebuilding, and all kinds of spy are running around.

I am afraid that the little demon of Senju Clan who has mastered Anbu is definitely not willing to give Sarutobi Hiruzen too much quota at this time.

Even if you give it, it's mostly just a facade, a guy who doesn't look good. After all, Senju Natsuhiko and Sarutobi Hiruzen are not the same.

"Very well, you've worked hard." Danzo thought of this and couldn't help but feel slightly relaxed: "Then just follow the plan, when the time comes, go to the ambush site and wait."

" Yes, Danzo-sama." The Root ninja was nodded at once, then he stood up to leave.

"Wait a minute, I'm preparing some reliable, obedient, and good hiding skills, and let them follow Sarutobi Hiruzen."

Just as this Anbu was about to leave, Danzo again Opened up once.

"Also, call A over, I want to see him."

"Yes, Danzo-sama." The Root didn't hesitate, he nodded again, Then he turned and left the office.

Danzo waited until the Root left and he continued to stand alone, his eyes wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But now his heart is also very complicated, because he made a very terrifying decision, but he will never have any regrets!

Danzo never regrets doing things, he is also a ninja with a firm belief, otherwise he would not have persisted until now because of a 'Hokage dream'.

Hokage is his dream, his dream for a lifetime!
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of his office, and after getting his permission, a child with a cat mask and long brown hair walked in.

"Danzo-sama." This child's voice still sounds very young, but in such a young age, it has a hard to describe indifference.

"A, you already know the mission of this time, right?" Danzo was indifferently nodded, and then he asked, "Do you have the confidence and the courage to complete this?"

"Danzo-sama's order is my goal." A indifferently said: "I don't care who the goal is, I'll just complete this mission."

"Very well. Good!" Danzo satisfied nodded: "I look forward to your performance, I look forward to your Wood-Style performance, don't let me down."

"Yes! Danzo-sama." A Kneeling directly to the ground, his tone was full of firmness.

He naturally knew what the comparison Danzo wanted, after all, someone in Anbu used Wood-Style on Nine-Tails night, and even that Wood-Style prevented Nine-Tails.

A himself doesn't know how his Wood-Style is performing, but he knows he can't let Danzo-sama down.

This time's mission is a good opportunity to show himself, his target is Sarutobi Hiruzen, is Third Hokage, but he doesn't care.

All he knew was that Danzo was the most important person to him, the one who saved him, and all he had to do was listen to Danzo.

"Go down." Danzo nodded lightly, and gave the order.

Looking at the back of the little demon leaving, Danzo then closed his eyes, Orochimaru made so many experiments, only this little demon succeeded.

And this little demon was also brought into Root by him and trained very well. Even in order to cultivate this little demon, Danzo gave him a lot of Senju Clan Wood-Style information.

Now is the time to show the results, and it's time to let him see what kind of power the Wood-Style he cultivated can exert!
"Hiruzen, I don't know if you will like this gift I prepared for you."
