Chapter 93: The Third Hokage: I can’t command the Anbu now?

Even though Tsunade has only been in control of the Anbu for a short time.

Even though it was not appropriate to reorganize the ANBU during the war, Tsunade's promotion to ANBU chief still added some rules.

For example, when the Anbu carry out important tasks, they need to report to her as the minister, even if the task comes from the Hokage's office.

So the Anbu people came to Tsunade after going around in circles.

After understanding the cause of the mission, Tsunade said decisively:

"Refuse to carry out this mission. During the war, every team of the Anbu has an important mission. If someone from the Hyuga clan is missing, let them investigate it themselves!!!"

"this........"

The Hokage ordered them to go out immediately and carry out the mission.

The minister told them to refuse the mission and let the Hyuga clan investigate it themselves. The Anbu team, which was already ready to set off, became confused for a moment.

I don't know who to listen to.

"I am the head of the Anbu. If anyone dares to disobey orders and leave the village without permission, I will kick him out of the Anbu."

Tsunade slammed the table hard, scaring the Anbu people so much that their hearts were beating fast.

The ninjas of Konoha are proud to work in the Anbu. It would be a very shameful thing to be kicked out without any reason.

So, the investigation task was left unfinished.

The Third Hokage thought that the Anbu team had set out, but the Anbu team did not dare to move because of Tsunade's order, so they could only remain in a stalemate.

By the time the Third Hokage reacted, ten days and a half had passed.

If the Hyuga clan leader had not come to the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage would still be kept in the dark.

The Anbu people didn't take any action?

When he heard the news, the Third Hokage almost choked.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage's beard was trembling with anger.

The Hyuga clan leader standing by had an unpleasant expression on his face.

Regarding the matter of the Third Hokage, the family sent a member of the main family and a group of guards from the branch family to the border camp, but they never returned after that.

The branch family's guards were gone, and the key point was that the main family's people were gone too!!

The most infuriating thing was that there was no movement at all in the Hokage's office.

What's going on? My Hyuga clan has been working for you, the Third Hokage. We even sent people from the main family. Now there's no news from them. We don't know if they're missing or dead, but your Hokage's office hasn't said anything at all. How does this make sense?

"You're disobeying orders?"

The Third Hokage was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

He felt like he had lost all his face. If he had known the news in private, he would not have been so angry. The key point was that the Hyuga clan leader was also here.

He also vowed that he had sent someone from the Anbu to investigate.

As a result, when they called the Anbu people over and asked them, they found out that the Anbu people had not taken any action at all.

His old face was swollen from being beaten.

The Third Hokage's face was burning with anger, and the ninja from the Anbu felt wronged. He looked up at the expressionless Hyuga clan leader and said in a low voice:

"Hokage, the Anbu naturally dare not disobey orders, but the Minister said that the Hyuga clan's people are missing, so let them investigate on their own, and also said that whoever dares to carry out this mission will be kicked out of the Anbu."

It’s not that we are disobeying orders, but that we dare not.

On one side is the Hokage, and on the other side is the minister. It's so painful to be stuck in the middle.

Hyuga clan leader: “….”

The Third Hokage: “….”

It turned out that it was not the Anbu who disobeyed orders, but Tsunade did not allow the Anbu to carry out this mission. Anyone who dared to disobey would be kicked out of the Anbu.

Now that I have put it out there, who the hell dares to carry out the mission?

Because Shizuka was once treated coldly by her family, Tsunade really didn't have a good impression of the Hyuga clan, and her original words were quite harsh.

"This is nonsense!!"

The Third Hokage angrily slammed the table: "I am the Hokage!!!"

Of course you are the Hokage, but we in the Anbu now have a minister above us, what can we do?

If you are unhappy, go find the minister, but don't get angry at us. It's uncomfortable enough to be caught in the middle, and now you have to be the punching bag.

No one would be happy about this.

The man from the Anbu lowered his head and kept silent. He made up his mind to pretend to be an invisible person so as to avoid being bullied for no reason.

Besides, the minister was not wrong. If a member of the Hyuga clan is missing, then let them investigate it themselves. Why mobilize the Anbu? During the war, the Anbu's tasks are already very busy.

"You........." Seeing that the other party chose to remain silent, the Third Hokage was so angry that he couldn't speak.

He finally understood.

The Anbu is no longer the Anbu of the past. It has Tsunade as its minister stuck on top of it. All missions need to go through Tsunade. Once Tsunade is stuck, the Anbu people cannot be dispatched at will.

This is so freaking uncomfortable!!!

The Hokage's direct troops cannot be mobilized by the Hokage himself.

But all of this was caused by him alone. The Third Hokage felt so regretful when he thought about how he had turned the Anbu into what it is today in order to compensate Utane Koharu.

If he had been a little more ruthless before and suppressed the noisy Utane Koharu, things wouldn't have ended up like this.

At this time, the Third Hokage was stuck, neither going up nor down.

"Forget it, you should leave first."

The Third Hokage waved his hand and the Anbu ninjas quickly evacuated. He didn't want to stay here for even a second longer. It was too uncomfortable.

After the Anbu people left, the Hyuga clan leader spoke: "Hokage-sama, you need to give an explanation to the family about this matter. Something happened to the main family, and it has a great impact on the family."

The Hyuga clan leader would not feel sad if even a group of people from the branch family died, let alone a small team, but it was different for the main family.

There are so few people in the Zong family, and the death of one of them would be painful.

The most important thing is that the white eyes were lost.

Once the Byakugan is leaked... the Hyuga clan leader becomes numb when he thinks of the consequences.

So the Third Hokage must give him an explanation.

After all, the Hyuga clan is doing things for him.

"I will give you an explanation. Please give me some time." At this time, we have to find a way to appease the Hyuga clan leader.

The Anbu is unreliable, so we can only mobilize other forces to investigate.

In fact, the best way to deal with this kind of thing is to give a direct order and let Nara Shikashin seal off the camp and investigate.

But some things cannot be seen in public and can only be investigated in secret.

When the Anbu was unreliable, the Third Hokage chose to use the power of his family.

Mobilizing the family's ninjas to carry out missions requires taking certain risks and incurring some trouble.

The ninjas in the Anbu only care about whether they can complete the mission and don't care about anything else. This is something that the family ninjas cannot compare with. Secondly, when the ninjas in the Anbu go out on missions, everyone in the village needs to cooperate.

Because this is the unique right of the Anbu.

The Anbu has such power, but the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan do not, so they can only think of other ways.

When the Third Hokage thought of the difference, he regretted it even more.
