Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

But what he really didn't expect was that the person below was actually his immediate superior, the Minister of the Anbu.

And everything that just happened in front of his eyes really left him with an indelible impression!

Recalling the azure chakra giant, he even found that he could still see the giant's face clearly.

It was like a Rakshasa in the temple, ferocious and terrifying, making people feel terrified at the first sight of it.

The chakra it exudes is extremely cold. It is a chakra that is full of destructive power, and also a chakra that makes people feel despair!

In his opinion, such power really did not seem like the power that humans possessed, and now he seemed to have a clearer understanding of how terrifying his minister was.

"Well, it's not a big deal. I was just experimenting with a new jutsu I developed, and you were here for the ANBU."

Uchiha Mune seemed relatively calm, even though he had never explicitly admitted to the Mangekyō eyes, it was likely that everyone who knew about them had already assumed that he had them.

This kind of thing cannot be concealed. Do you really expect him not to use these eyes when fighting?

This is not realistic now, especially since his growth is closely related to the constant use of his eyes.

Anyway, Uchiha Madara has temporarily gone to the Pure Land to find Senju Hashirama, and Obito is already in place. What's the point of him worrying about this and that?

"I just feel like I've disturbed the minister's interest." Namikaze Minato still felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, come to think of it, I haven't congratulated you yet." Uchiha Zong smiled and shook his head: "Congratulations, you're going to be a father."

"Thank you, Minister." At this moment, a bright smile appeared on Minato Namikaze's face.

Although there is still some time before his child is born, he has already begun to enjoy this joy.

Of course, I also had to face the anxiety of having another child, but joy still outweighed everything.

Although it was the Root people who were responsible for Kushina's safety this time, rather than their Anbu, he was willing to trust the decision of the Hokage and his own minister.

"By the way, why don't I see Lin?" Uchiha Zong glanced around, then he asked curiously: "I remember she was with you, your assistant, wasn't she?"

For the sake of Rin's confidentiality, Uchiha clan asked Namikaze Minato to keep an eye on Rin, and at the same time repeatedly warned him not to let Rin have any contact with Kakashi for the time being.

And Minato Namikaze has always done a good job. He simply let Lin be his personal Anbu, teaching her and protecting her at the same time, and nothing has happened until now.

"Kakashi is on leave today, so I'll let her move around a bit. She should be in the medical room now."

Namikaze Minato spoke immediately after hearing this, and then sighed.

"Although she has never complained, her current life is a bit depressing for her, so I think she should be given some time to relax."

"Is that so? You are his teacher, so you decide." Uchiha Zong thought about it, and then he didn't care: "But you still have to be careful, it's not appropriate for her to be exposed now."

"I understand." Namikaze Minato nodded very seriously: "Mr. Minister."

……

Inside the Anbu, Kakashi walked alone towards Minato Namikaze's office.

Even though today was his day off, he felt empty again after meeting Rin and Obito at the cemetery in the early morning.

Although Akai and the others have been trying to find ways to help him recover and have tried to get him out for activities as much as possible, he really doesn't have the mind to do so.

What he hopes more now is to complete more tasks and carry out them wholeheartedly. Only in this way can he avoid thinking about the grief in his heart as much as possible.

Only in this way can he have the chance to meet Rin and Obito this morning!

Therefore, he did not choose to continue resting, but chose to return to the Anbu. Resting really did not make much sense to him.

Everyone in the Anbu tacitly kept quiet. Although many people talked to each other, everyone controlled their volume in this relatively serious place.

Such quietness made Kakashi feel very comfortable, and now he preferred a quiet environment.

Many people noticed him, but these Anbu members did not understand him, just like his situation in Konoha after his father died.

After all, he is still the same as he was before, he does things without leaving any room for others and even harms other people.

Such people are unpopular no matter where they are.

But Kakashi doesn't care. Maybe this is better for him?

He walked all the way towards Minato Namikaze's office, but as he walked, he suddenly found someone blocking his way.

The man walked very slowly and seemed to be looking at something while walking. This action made Kakashi frown.

"Ah."

However, just as he was about to speed up and overtake that person, he suddenly froze in place!

Looking at the back of the man in front of him, looking at the short brown hair, an inexplicable sense of familiarity pierced his heart.

This familiar feeling made his heart tremble. He didn't understand why he had such a feeling, but he knew that he seemed to be suffocating!

"This is...this is..."

Kakashi wanted to rush over to see who that person was and figure out what was going on.

However, at this moment he couldn't move at all. His body seemed to be frozen, making him unable to move.

Perhaps he was afraid in his heart, afraid that the joy of regaining what he had lost would vanish in an instant, afraid that this was just a misunderstanding.

Afraid that the wonderful feeling would be shattered, afraid that he was just dazzled...

"It's really profound. I guess I need to ask someone..."

Just as he was struggling and hesitating, the owner of the back suddenly murmured.

The voice was very small and thin, and it was impossible to hear what was said.

But this voice instantly made Kakashi's pupils dilate, and the feeling that struck his soul became even more intense at this moment!

That kind of voice has always lingered in his dreams, and he will never forget that kind of voice in his life!

Suddenly, Kakashi moved, gritting his teeth and running forward.

However, he stayed there for too long, and the figure turned around and entered an exit.

When Kakashi chased after him, there was no sign of anyone there!

He stood in a daze in front of the tightly closed door, looking a little dazed for a moment.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, and then he headed towards Namikaze Minato's office with hope in his eyes...

……

"Huruzen, the location for Kyuubi's birth has been chosen."

Inside the Root's base, Mito Kado En and Tenharu Koharu sat together, while Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the club leader's seat.

Mitokado En was reporting some necessary matters, and after he finished speaking, Utane Koharu sighed.

"Too passive, Hiruzen, our situation is too passive now.

That guy Orochimaru keeps extending his hands into various departments. He has forgotten your teachings and is now determined to completely wipe out your influence.

The last thing you should do is take over the task of guarding against the birth of the Nine-Tailed Fox. This is a disguised way of weakening your control."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but shake his head after listening to what Koharu said. He knew the consequences, but could he really refuse?

Obviously he couldn't refuse because everyone knew that he was the best person to do it, and everyone knew what Orochimaru wanted to do.

But now Orochimaru is the Hokage, so even if they want to support him, they will only support Orochimaru.

"Xiaochun, stop talking."

Mizuto Menyan shook his head and said in a low voice.

“Hiruzen couldn’t refuse, no matter if he was the best fit or not he couldn’t refuse.

That guy Orochimaru has been corrupted ever since he got involved with the Uchiha people, so don't expect anything to happen from him.

Instead of complaining here, we should think about how we can deal with these problems.”

Mizuto Menen was still very calm. After all, he had been in a high position for many years and he did a good job of controlling his emotions.

He knew very well that complaining was useless at this point, and the most important thing was to deal with the current problems.

"Just make your choice, I will let the people from the Root go through." Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally heard their conversation, and he spoke softly.

He was in a very bad mood at the moment. It could be said that he had been in a particularly bad mood ever since Uchiha Zong came with Orochimaru's order.

Danzo's death allowed them to obtain a large amount of evidence. In order to give himself a chance to return to the core in the future, he had to sever his ties with Danzo.

Therefore, he had to pay some price to let Orochimaru put the matter behind him.

The Mission Department and the Finance Department, just two departments were taken away by Orochimaru. Although they got back a Root, their losses were still huge.

What's more, the Anbu corresponding to the Root is also in Orochimaru's hands. It can be said that he suffered a real loss this time.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen did have plans to take action against the Anbu, but he knew that Danzo wanted the Anbu and had already reached an agreement with Orochimaru.

Although Danzo has his own ambitions, Sarutobi Hiruzen is confident that he can suppress them.

Moreover, at that time he thought that Orochimaru just had his own ideas and had not reached the point of rebellion, so he allowed the development of the Anbu without any interference.

But he never dreamed that Orochimaru would go back on his word and give the Anbu to the Uchiha Clan, which was truly the biggest stab in the back for them.

This is exactly what is meant by "a new official starts with three things". After Orochimaru took office, the first thing he did was to target his mentor.

And now this guy is teaming up with Uchiha to attack the Root. This is intolerable. This has completely challenged his bottom line. He must fight back!

"You are right, we did do something." Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were solemn: "If we continue to allow Orochimaru and Uchiha to collude like this, Konoha will definitely collapse in their hands!"

"Huruzen, what are you going to do?" Upon hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En's eyes lit up instantly.

"Orochimaru wants us to go on guard duty, so let's do our best!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe, took a deep breath and said quietly.

“Although I have tried to ask him to increase the number of limited teams in the Root, he refused as expected.

In this case, don't blame me. We will directly shift our focus to the defense mission, and then some things will be beyond our capabilities, such as..."

"For example, we are short of manpower and thus lose the source of intelligence outside the village?"

When the weather cleared up, Xiaochun immediately understood, but she couldn't help but say after thinking about it.

"But many things here also belong to the Anbu. Will this make the Anbu... Wait, I understand!"

"The configuration of the Root and the Dark Department is the same, but the two sides are responsible for different levels, and they supervise each other."

Mizuto Menyan nodded silently, and then he spoke softly.

“The Anbu already has a lot of tasks to do right now, and if they take over, it would involve our authority, which would be tantamount to crossing the line.

Even if Orochimaru is partial to them, do they really have enough manpower to support the current intelligence situation?

Once they expand, then we will have the need to expand, and most importantly..."

"Those intelligence sources were trained by Danzo and will only be loyal to the Root."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said helplessly. To be honest, he was very disgusted with Danzo's behavior at the beginning. He could not hide what Danzo did from him.

But now he had to thank Danzo for doing so, and for sending out a large number of intelligence personnel, and at the same time developing a large number of intelligence personnel outside the village.

These people's data, information, etc. are all in their hands, and this has become their most important weapon at present!

"Actually, right now, I'm looking forward to the expansion of the Anbu. Although they have a lot of reserve personnel, there's always a time to take in new personnel."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and spoke slowly as he exhaled the smoke.

“Although I have retired, there are still many people willing to follow us, and many of them have already received training in the Root Reserve Team.

Their identities have not been completely exposed. Once the Anbu accepts new personnel, they can definitely join them, even if it is just the reserve team.

In this way, we will have our people in the Anbu again."

"Indeed, it is really worth looking forward to."

Mizuto Menen nodded, and suddenly he seemed to think of something.

"Hiruzen, there are actually some people we can try to win over."

"I know that Orochimaru is very proud this time, and too proud."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took another deep puff from his pipe, and his eyes became sharper.

“He used the people of Zhu Lu Die, but he abandoned the real heir because the three families rejected him.

This does give us an opportunity, and since he has given us the opportunity, we must seize it!"

Having said that, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up. His vision became a little blurry in the smoke, but his tone became firm.

"He does have the decisiveness that a Hokage should have, but he does not have the kindness that a Hokage should have. After all, he is still a young man.
