Chapter 592 Minister Candidates

Not long after Tsunade left, this room soon welcomed a new guest.

When I went to bed, two people, Koharu and Mito Monohan, arrived together.

But I found my old friend full of annoyance and disappointment!

Like everything they witnessed, the two of them stood at the door, deeply touched and saddened.

Some tragedies could have been completely avoided...

It was only Sarutobi Hiruzen's indifference to Orochimaru that led to today's situation.

"Every cause, sows all results!"

"I'm a failed Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the bed and murmured.

After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at him silently, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen could have reversed Orochimaru's character earlier, Konoha would not be seeing danger approaching now, but it would not be without a powerful combat power like Orochimaru!

"From now on, the future of the village can only be entrusted to you two guys."

Hiruzen turned to look at his two friends, his tone sincere and touching.

.......

Because Sarutobi Ye and Sarutobi Eiko sacrificed their precious lives in the previous war.

The death of the former minister and deputy minister of Konoha Anbu, coupled with the fact that the position of minister of Anbu had been vacant, led Namikaze Minato to have the idea of ​​reorganizing Anbu.

He needs to arrange more cronies to take charge of important positions in Konoha Village.

And the ANBU minister who only belongs to the Hokage is a top priority.

"Thank you for coming, Genma!" Suddenly, Namikaze Minatoji found that his guard had opened the office door at some point and was looking at him quietly.

"I'm calling you here to ask you to go to the Uchiha Clan and invite Fugaku-kun, the leader of the Uchiha Clan. I do have some things that I need to discuss with him in detail. Please tell me your name, even within the Uchiha Clan. It can also flow smoothly.”

After some careful consideration, Namikaze Minato finally gave the order.

Shiranui Genma nodded respectfully, then bent down and quietly left the office.

Soon after.

Uchiha Fugaku walked into the office and sat on the chair in front of the desk familiarly.

"What's the matter? Minato, I'm teaching Itachi ninjutsu! Just call someone to call me over." Fugaku said with some persistence.

"Speaking of which, Itachi is already eight years old. He is in the second year of Jonin School now, right? With his talent, graduating early is not a problem."

"Well, that kid doesn't have much talent. He's just too withdrawn and can't make any friends at school!"

Speaking of this, a sad look appeared on Fugaku's face.

"The reason I sent him to the ninja school was to make friends. Otherwise, he might as well have been taught in his own school! Oh, what a headache!"

As the activator of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Fugaku understands best that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are most prone to mental illness!

Without the bonds of friends, he was afraid that with Itachi's talent, he would become the next Uchiha Madara!

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato laughed and shook his head.

"I think you're overthinking it. I know that Itachi is a very loving boy. He likes Naruto very much. He doesn't say anything to his younger brother Sasuke. He wishes he could hold him in his arms all day long and never let go! And! He also has a good relationship with Shisui, don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

"I hope so." Fugaku shook his head slightly and gave up discussing this topic. "Speaking of which, why did you call me here? You weren't just bored and wanted to talk to me, right?"

As the closest collaborators, two years have passed, and the relationship between Fugaku and Minato has entered the honeymoon period.

The same is true for the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha.

"Well, there are some important things that I want to discuss with you." Minato said as he personally brought a cup of tea to Fugaku and let the conversation begin.

"You mean, let a large number of Uchiha ninjas enter your direct ANBU?" Fugaku looked surprised.

The previous Kyuubi incident was all vividly remembered by the ninjas in the village. Although Fugaku was also aggrieved...but the truth seemed to no longer be so important.

People only believe what they see.

"That's it. I feel that the ANBU is short of manpower and weak in ability, so I plan to recruit more Uchiha ninjas in the ANBU. On the one hand, I will maintain the authority of my Hokage, and on the other hand, I will further defuse your Uchiha." How about the distance between Wave and the village?" Minato looked into Fugaku's eyes calmly.

Fugaku fell into a brief silence.

The introduction of a large number of Uchiha ninjas into the ANBU undoubtedly means that the influence of Uchiha will be substantially improved.

It is no longer just the infamy of the former Konoha villagers.

This is undoubtedly good news for him and the Uchiha clan.

And for Minato, the Hokage, the benefits it brings are also obvious.

"I completely agree, but regarding Danzo and the elders..." After thinking for a moment, Fugaku frankly expressed his concerns.

Undoubtedly, the only problem with this proposal is whether senior advisers will agree with it.

Expanding Uchiha's substantial influence is undoubtedly a scene that senior advisors who are second-generation disciples never want to see!

"As for Danzo's elders, you don't have to worry about this. I am the Hokage, and I have the final say in this village now! Just go down and draw up a list of credible people and give it to me. Be obedient and honest. Don't give me all the thorns!" At the end of the sentence, a faint smile appeared on Minato's face.

"Okay, I understand."

Although he was a little puzzled by his friend's confidence, as the leader of the Uchiha clan, he had no reason to refuse such a good thing.

He stood up and was about to leave, but Minato suddenly stopped him again.

"One more thing, the ANBU minister is still vacant. Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

Minato looked at the other person with an inexplicable expression.

Uchiha, now as his most trusted collaborator, the meaning of his question was self-evident.

"you mean......"

Fugaku's expression changed, he didn't expect Minato to ask him this question so directly.

Moreover, now is not the stage of fighting for power with the Third Hokage, so why is Minato so eager?

Or maybe it was because of the raid on Yunin Village that he felt a deep sense of crisis?

Countless thoughts flashed through Fugaku's mind.

"As the person in charge of the troops directly under the Hokage, the choice of ANBU minister must be very careful. I think the current deputy minister Nara Tuichi is very good..." Fugaku tried to test Minato in this way. manner.

"Nara Tuichi?" Minato chuckled, his eyes flickering as if he was thinking about something.

"Indeed, as a ninja with outstanding IQ, no one can match him in terms of doing things, whether it is the Nara clan or the younger generation of Konoha..."

"But if you want to become the Minister of Anbu, you can't do it just by relying on this. His strength is still a little weak." After the words changed, Namikaze Minato shook his head slightly.

Fugaku's eyes flashed slightly and he asked bluntly.

"Minato, don't beat around the bush with me, just tell me clearly, who among our Uchiha clan do you like?"

Minato's face hardened, and he whispered a name. "Shisui!"

"Well, Uchiha is loyal to the village and is definitely a qualified candidate for ANBU minister."

Fugaku nodded in agreement, but he quickly reacted and his expression changed drastically.

"Shisui is too young. Although his strength is good, do you think those people will agree to let an Uchiha ninja who is not yet sixteen years old hold such an important position as ANBU Minister!?"

"You think so too..." Minato sighed lightly, but did not make an immediate decision because he himself was also hesitant.

Although Shisui was perfectly in line with Minato's expectations for an ANBU minister in every aspect.

But he is indeed still too young.

Although Shisui was a heretic among the Uchiha ninjas and possessed a maturity far beyond his peers, Minato still felt somewhat inappropriate in handing over such an important position to the other party.

After all, even he, the Fourth Hokage, was rejected by many people because of his age when he first took office.

Youth represents strength and future, but it also feels a little less stable.

After all, the position of ANBU Minister is too important.

Because the ninja sitting in this position means that he will control part of the Hokage's power, and can even be said to have entered the core class of Konoha!

His status is only lower than that of the Hokage and several advisor elders, and much higher than the heads of other departments.

Because of this, the candidate for ANBU Minister must not only be loyal, but also have strong strength, outstanding wisdom, maturity and stability.

Once a mistake is made, the consequences will be disastrous!
