Chapter 289: Face to face!
"Well, well, elder Danzo, don't get excited!"
Namikaze Minato quickly spoke up to resolve the tense atmosphere.
Well, today his task as the Fourth Hokage may be to be the referee and mediator.
"Danzo, when did you become the Fourth Hokage?"
Tang Ping asked pretending to be confused.
happy!
So happy!
This kind of opportunity to face off against the pot king on the spot does not come at any time.
If Danzo were to see him as his enemy and sworn enemy, he would indeed be extremely angry.
But who is Tang Ping? .
Fun people!
In addition, Danzo is his "big brother" and his "best ally" in the development of his power. He looks at the other party like a clown, how can he be angry.
So when the opponent jumped out to show off his face, not only was he not angry, but he stepped forward decisively to confront the opponent.
It's a pity that now that he is the Fourth Hokage, he can no longer hear the famous scene of "You regret my shadow".
"You...don't talk nonsense!"
When Danzo heard this, his momentum froze.
It might not matter if it were other words, but the Hokage is the only one he must pass to rebuild the glory of Konoha. He is completely thinking about how to get to the top in his dreams. When he hears it, he will naturally refute it.
But in fact, the other people didn't take it to heart.
Because except for Dohei, they had never thought that the other party wanted to be Hokage, and they felt that this was just something Dohei used to target Danzo.
"Then the Hokage didn't even open his mouth, but you rushed out to accuse him. Are you older than the Hokage?"
The barrel of Donhei's gun was pressed against Danzo's forehead.
Others don't know it, and he doesn't know it either. Naruto is the enemy's weak point.
The point is that the Fourth Hokage is not the Third Hokage and will not coddle him. Once he catches something, he will definitely be carried away without finishing the meal.
"Okay, stop arguing. I asked you to come here this time, Dohei, to discuss how the village will help you 'manage' the castle tower. If you agree, you can be brought back to serve as the ANBU minister!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that his good friend was uncomfortable with being criticized, so he changed the topic.
Yes, this is what happened when people were sent to find him many times.
take over!
That's really nice to say.
But it actually means annexation.
Who made the castle tower develop really well?
In a short period of time, it has already created such a huge momentum.
There are more than hundreds of thousands of citizens alone. The point is that industries in various fields are also exploding crazily.
Although it is still far inferior to Konoha now, anyone with any brain can see that it will definitely surpass Konoha in the future.
A coastal port city!
Of course, that's not the point.
The key point is that there are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile farmland around it, and the water conservancy facilities are extremely complete.
mouth watering!
This is the only way to describe the village's view of the castle tower.
In the past, during the Great Ninja War, F4 would join forces to suppress such voices because they did not want to cause trouble.
Don't think that the Hokage are greedy, it's just because they sit on Konoha's side.
When I see something good, I naturally want to take it back to the village.
As for how much they can eat after the village gets it, they won't be too concerned about it.
The meat will rot in the pot anyway.
"Minister of ANBU...? It's such a good position!"
Tang Ping looked at a few people with a playful tone.
Except for Namikaze Minato who looked sincere, everyone else had their own thoughts.
Even Nara Shikaku is not without some thoughts.
If the castle tower is really taken back to the village, there will definitely be no shortage of the 'Boar, Deer, and Butterfly'.
As for Uchiha Fugaku's mentality, it can be seen at a glance.
Without the castle tower, the Chofusa lineage can only return to the clan, which will definitely restore a lot of Uchiha's strength.
It's just that for a mere ANBU minister to exchange his castle tower is just a dream.
ANBU Minister!
Sounds totally high-level.
But the power of this position is extremely limited.
Internally, the security department has most of the power, but externally, the root has already taken away a lot of power. Being able to take care of those things all depends on who the Hokage is.
During the Third Hokage period, this position was pretty good.
But now the Fourth Hokage has just come to power, and even the power of Hokage is not firmly under control. Being his ANBU minister is nothing but a sharp knife and a thug, which has a lot of disadvantages and not many benefits.
Therefore, the position of this thug is extremely subtle.
To say that he has great power is really great, as long as the Hokage is strong enough and trusts you.
But the power is really small, if the Hokage doesn't trust you, then even the ANBU minister can't do anything.
The key is that this position can be appointed or dismissed by the Hokage himself, and there is no need to explain it to others.
Unless Tang Ping's IQ is below the line and his will of fire is above the line, it is impossible for him to agree.
"Then do you agree?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with some surprise.
He didn't have much thought, he just felt that it would be a good thing for the village to have the 404th team return to Konoha and add those assets to the village.
"No, I refuse!"
Tang Ping shook his head.
"Why?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't understand.
Anyone who is a Konoha ninja is willing to return to Konoha, right? .
Like his own two disciples, one was exiled because he suffered too many blows, and the other was running for prophecies. Even if they were not in the village, they both regarded Konoha as the first priority.
"Because Konoha is too rotten!"
The group starts from the front of Tangping.
He used to be forbearing because he lacked strength, so he naturally didn't talk nonsense.
Now that he is a strong shadow level, and there is no weakness for the village to exploit, what's the matter?
What he despises the most is the kind of time traveler who obviously has great strength, but doesn't even dare to complain when facing the village's senior officials.
"What did you say!!"
"presumptuous!"
"You've gone too far!"
"Tangping you..."
…
Several scoldings sounded one after another.
There are also the twisted expressions of Nara Shikaku and Uchiha Fugaku.
Because they are forcibly controlling their expressions.
Wooden leaves do not rot. This is a fact that can be seen but not said.
Even though Namikaze Minato somewhat agreed with this, he still felt that Dohei was a little too presumptuous.
After all, the Third Hokage and several advisors and elders have worked hard for so many years, and there is no credit but hard work, how can you say this about them.
Well, even if he takes the position of Hokage, because he is a commoner, he still relies on a few advisors and elders to implement his orders. Therefore, the current Namikaze Minato is really grateful to the people of Konoha F4.
"Yeah…"
Tang Ping's eyes flashed with ridicule.
Whether the village is rotten or not is a matter of course, and he naturally does not need to emphasize it.
Most of the top executives are from the Hokage system, there is no clear promotion path internally, all aspects have to be discussed, the whereabouts of funds are unknown, the Ninja clan is supreme, etc... Do you really think that other people are blind? .
If it weren't for the fact that these things couldn't be suppressed anymore, you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, would have chosen a civilian ninja to take over.
"The castle tower must be managed by the village, and you are a Konoha ninja!"
Danzo just used the village to suppress people unreasonably.
If it were those strong men who had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire, they might have agreed directly.
But Tang Ping is not.
"Elder Danzo, don't forget, this is my territory, not the village's garrison!"
He took out his trump card.
Yes, this is the ultimate move he has prepared long ago.
territory!
Strictly speaking, he was a 'lord', and he directly turned the area around the former Chashan Castle and the current castle tower into his own personal property.
There used to be absolutely no value there, so no one cared.
But now it has turned into an extremely attractive piece of fat, which naturally attracts countless covetous people.
If it were an ordinary person, no matter Konoha or Fire Country, they could do it forcefully, and there wouldn't be many ways to do it.
But it happens to be Tang Ping who is in trouble.
Not only is he a shadow-level powerhouse himself, he also has a shadow-level powerhouse named Koji Yamama following him.
The most important thing is that there are Uchiha Fang lineage and many civilian ninjas who are attached to him.
The strong must have the strong, and the subordinates must have subordinates, so we must discuss it with him instead of forcibly confiscating it.
"Okay, don't rush to talk about this matter now, there is another matter today!"
Namikaze Minato saw that the atmosphere was tense, so he broke it out and talked about another thing.
