Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Leaf.

Hokage Building, conference room.

"Thank you for the compliment, Fifth Generation."

"I...I was just lucky."

Hearing Chiba's words.

Fujiwara Takeshi swallowed hard and stammered as he answered.

"Takeshi Fujiwara".

"From today onwards, you will be in charge of reforming the Ninja Academy's practical combat curriculum."

"I'll give you a month to completely destroy all those playhouse textbooks."

Chiba tossed a scroll onto the table.

Fujiwara Takeshi's mind went blank for a moment.

He was just a commoner Jonin!

In the past, such lucrative positions would never have been available to people like them who had no connections.

"Your subordinate... obeys!"

next moment.

Fujiwara Takeshi slammed one knee to the ground, his voice cracking with excitement.

He has taken on countless missions throughout his life.

This time, however, he felt his blood boiling.

"Everyone, you can leave now."

"I've given you the power; how you use it is up to you."

Chiba's gaze swept across the entire room.

He leaned back in the Hokage chair, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

"But let's be clear from the start."

"Anyone who messes things up, or tries to profit from it."

"You all know what happened to Danzo."

Those few casual words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

No one thought Chiba was joking.

This new Hokage, who dared to crush even the Root leader in public, is definitely a ruthless character who does what he says.

End of the meeting.

The Jonin lined up and walked out of the conference room one after another.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked very slowly with a hunched back.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado followed beside her, all three of them looking pale.

But they didn't complain about anything.

I had foreseen this outcome several days ago.

not to mention.

Chiba did not go so far as to exterminate them all.

The four major families still have a chance to survive.

In stark contrast are the ordinary civilian Jonin.

Fujiwara Takeshi gripped the letter of appointment tightly in his hand.

Several familiar civilian ninjas gathered around, their eyes filled with barely suppressed fervor.

Even if Chiba didn't promote them.

But they also understood what Chiba meant.

This newly appointed Fifth Hokage actually intends to promote commoner ninjas.

For these ordinary ninjas, this was absolutely fantastic news!

the other side.

The leaders of the various ninja clans also gathered together.

"Shikaku."

We made the right move.

A bright smile appeared on Choza Akimichi's face.

Yamanaka Inoichi nodded in agreement.

Don't get too excited yet.

"You've seen the Fifth Hokage's methods today."

"He doesn't care who gets the power."

"What he wants is an efficient and obedient Konoha."

"Power given away easily will only be taken back more ruthlessly."

"Go back and tell those troublemakers in the tribe to keep their tails between their legs!"

Nara Shikaku, however, had a solemn expression.

He glanced back in the direction of the Hokage's office.

no doubt.

With Chiba's rise to power.

The opportunity for the three races of pig, deer, and butterfly has arrived.

but.

If they dare to act recklessly.

The power Chiba gives them will become their death warrant.

Fugaku Uchiha walked at the back of the crowd.

He touched the police department restructuring plan in his sleeve.

Although the police department was split up.

However, the Uchiha clan gained overall control over the village's security and defense.

This is real military power!

This excited Fugaku Uchiha.

He glanced sideways at Uchiha Shisui beside him.

"Still water".

"you're right."

"The fifth generation leader was a man of great ambition."

"He wouldn't be targeting the Uchiha clan on purpose!"

……

Three days later.

The Hokage Building, the Fifth Hokage's office.

Chiba leaned back in his large office chair, flipping through the documents in his hands.

He's had a pretty leisurely time these past few days as Hokage.

With Nara Shikaku helping him with government affairs, he only needed to make decisions.

Just then.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Kakashi Hatake pushed open the door and entered.

He walked quickly to Chiba.

"The Godaime."

"The matter at the root has been dealt with."

After arriving in front of Chiba.

Kakashi took out several scrolls and then knelt down on one knee.

"Report the results."

Chiba glanced at the scrolls.

After Danzo's death.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then had the Anbu incorporate members of the Root.

however.

Because of Chiba.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no interest in dealing with the Root members there.

With Chiba's rise to power, Kakashi became the head of the Anbu.

The mess at the root naturally fell to Kakashi.

"As you instructed, all the root members have been screened."

"Some of them, although they have been marked with the seed of 'the root of calamity through speech,' are still relatively clear-headed."

"I have already incorporated them into the secret service and assigned them to be supervised by specific personnel."

"As for those die-hards who have been completely brainwashed and only recognize Danzo's orders..."

"I have stripped them of their ninja status."

"They will all be sent back to their original families and placed under the strict supervision of their respective clan chiefs."

"..."

Kakashi lowered his head, his voice filled with exhaustion.

In order to deal with these things.

He hasn't rested for three days in a row.

Chiba nodded.

This method is the easiest.

It would be a waste to kill it, but keeping it is a ticking time bomb.

They were thrown back to the various ninja clans, so that they could manage their own people.

As for the commoner ninjas of Root?

Danzo, that old guy, doesn't think much of ordinary ninjas.

"What's in these scrolls?"

Then.

Chiba pointed to the things on the table.

"These are Danzo's secret files from all these years."

"Several Root members who regained consciousness voluntarily cooperated with us and found the archives."

Upon hearing this...

Kakashi looked up, his eyes bloodshot.

In those three days, he finished reading most of the files.

The records of those heinous human experiments and the assassinations of fellow village ninjas are truly appalling.

Inside, he even saw the specific details of his father's death.

"Just leave it there."

Chiba didn't even have the interest to open it and take a look.

He, as a transmigrator, knew better than anyone what terrible things Danzo had done.

"Kakashi."

"You did a good job."

"Go and rest for a bit. Come to conference room number one in half an hour."

Chiba stood up and slowly walked to the window.

It's time to fulfill some of the promises he made before!

Half an hour later.

Conference Room 1.

The ministers of several core departments have already taken their seats.

Nara Shikaku, Aburame Shiki, Uchiha Fugaku, and Hyuga Hiashi.

In addition, Kakashi Hatake, who had just arrived, was also there.

These five people are now the core of Konoha's highest power.

Chiba walked in and sat down at the head of the table.

He didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"I've called you here today to announce three things."

"The first thing."

"Naruto Uzumaki's identity must be revealed."

"He is the biological son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, not some demon fox."

These words were spoken.

Nara Shikaku and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were certainly aware of Naruto's identity.

But this was a gag order personally issued by the third generation leader.

Even if they felt sorry for Minato Namikaze, they dared not disobey the Third Hokage's orders.

"Not only should their identities be made public."

"The inheritance that the Third Hokage had withheld from the Fourth Hokage and his wife will be returned to Naruto, with interest."

"Also, have the publicity department give me a lot of publicity in the newspaper."

"Make sure you understand the concept of Jinchūriki in the village."

"A Jinchuriki is a hero who sacrifices himself to seal away a Tailed Beast."

"Anyone who dares to call someone a fox spirit again will be punished for treason!"

"..."
