Chapter 158 ANBU

The Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato's speech had a great response.

Compared to the long and preachy speech style of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Minato's speech was obviously more practical and full of the enterprising spirit of young people.

In his speech, Minato briefly told the villagers about his governance goals.

Pensions and compensation will be provided to the families of the ninjas who died in the last ninja war, and the names of all the ninjas who died will be engraved on the memorial tablets.

Pay attention to the education of civilian ninjas, especially strengthen investment in the training of medical ninjas to reduce the number of sacrifices of future ninjas.

To promote internal harmony in Konoha, a series of policies will be introduced to ease conflicts. Although it is not stated explicitly, this is obviously aimed at Uchiha issues.

Strengthening the ANBU's role in defending Konoha will never allow the mistakes that occurred in the last Ninja World War to reoccur.

These are just a small part. As the youngest Hokage in the history of Konoha, Minato's ideals and ambitions are naturally more than these.

What Minato wanted to do was in a sense the same as Che.

That would change Konoha.

Che listened carefully below.

Most of the other peers, even adult ninjas, just listened to the fun.

But Che was listening carefully to Minato's thoughts.

"Although the reform is somewhat conservative, it still has some constraints."

Che secretly commented on Minato's political ideas in his heart, and at the same time gave a vague glance at Sarutobi Hiruzen behind Minato.

After all, Minato was young and didn't have a deep foundation at the top.

In addition, Minato was originally from the line of Hiruzen Sarutobi and was the disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Even if Minato became Hokage, he would not be able to escape the influence of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After hearing this, Che stopped listening carefully.

seeing is believing.

Che decided to use his six eyes to see for himself whether Konoha under Minato's rule could meet his expectations.

Che lowered his head and saw Hong with a longing face next to him.

"Red, what are you thinking about?"

Hong reacted, and his face turned red for some reason.

Then Hong suddenly turned his head away, not daring to look at Che anymore.

Although Che had six eyes, he couldn't see into a woman's heart. He only felt strange, but he didn't delve into it any further.

In fact, what Hong was thinking was, if Che also became Hokage a few years later, would she have become Che's wife?

At that time, I will be as beautiful as Uzumaki Kushina standing on the roof of the Hokage Building.

If Che knew what Hong was thinking, he would probably not know whether to laugh or cry.

Maybe he could really become Hokage, but then he might be disappointed.

After all, his method of becoming Hokage might not be as upright as Minato's.

Minato was from the Hokage lineage, while Che was from the Uchiha.

Since the first generation of Hokage was held by Senju Hashirama, it has been destined that the Uchiha clan will not be able to become Hokage in the normal way unless the Uchiha clan is destroyed.

Watergate's inaugural address ends.

The crowd of onlookers who had surrounded the Hokage Building instantly burst into surprisingly loud applause.

The crowd refused to disperse for a long time, and the haze of war seemed to be swept away by the newly appointed Hokage.

After a long time, the crowd slowly dispersed, and Che and Hong were about to leave.

An ANBU member wearing a cat-face mask stopped Che.

"Uchiha Che, the Hokage has summoned me."

Che raised his eyebrows and asked: "Which Hokage?"

"The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato."

The cat-faced ANBU said calmly.

Che then turned to face Yuri Hong, "Hong, you go back first."

"Okay." Hong nodded and went back.

The cat-faced ANBU looked at Che, and just as Che was about to leave, the cat-faced ANBU said again: "Wait a moment, there is another one."

The cat-faced ANBU left instantly.

Che had just assessed the strength of this Anbu, who had just reached the level of Jonin.

Judging from his clothing, he seems to be a squad leader of the ANBU.

Che had an estimate of the ANBU's overall strength.

The ANBU captain and vice-captain, Asuma's eldest brother and sister-in-law, have elite jounin levels.

The squad leader should be at the level of an ordinary jounin, and his teammates should only be at the level of a chuunin or a special jounin.

From this point of view, Anbu's hard power is not particularly outstanding, but it does not work on a frontal battlefield, so hard power is not that important.

Not long after, the ANBU came to Che's side, accompanied by a white-haired boy, Hatake Kakashi.

The three of them walked into the Hokage building.

"Che, are you there too?" Kakashi turned his head and looked at Che with his only remaining eye.

"Yeah, I'm here too. I don't know what tasks Mr. Minato will arrange for us." Che shrugged.

The cat-faced ANBU who was silent at the side said: "It's not a mission, it's an appointment."

Kakashi and Che looked at each other and walked to the door of the Hokage's office.

Opening the door, it was the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato who was sitting, instead of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, which made both Che and Kakashi feel a little like they were in another world.

Minato had a classic gentle smile on his face.

"Kakashi, Che, you are here."

Kakashi and Che both responded when they heard this.

Minato quickly got to the point, "I plan to recruit you into the ANBU to hone your strength and accumulate mission experience."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Kakashi turned his head and glanced at the cat-faced ANBU beside him.

"Anbu..."

Minato considered that Kakashi might not understand the ANBU, so he began to explain.

"Anbu, also known as assassination tactics special forces."

"Founded by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama-sama, and directly commanded by the Hokage."

"The members of the Anbu are all excellent ninjas selected from the village. They are mainly responsible for protecting the Hokage and preventing foreign enemies from invading the Konoha ninja village. Sometimes they are also responsible for tasks such as reconnaissance of enemy situations and assassinations. Their members all wear animal-like masks when they act. White mask, the nature of the mission and all other information are kept confidential. There are multiple squads under the army, and the squad leaders uniformly convey orders and lead the execution of tasks."

"Kakashi, Che, you are all my trusted juniors and will eventually become the pillars of Konoha."

"So I want you to join Anbu. Of course, it's okay if you have other ideas."

After Minato finished speaking, he waited quietly for Kakashi and Che to make a decision.

Kakashi was the first to speak: "I am willing to join."

After Kakashi answered, his eyes immediately lowered.

"Obito and Rin are gone, Minato-sensei has become Hokage, and Minato's class no longer exists."

"Rather than regroup and go on a mission, I'd rather join ANBU."

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato suddenly felt that his decision to let Kakashi enter the ANBU was somewhat inappropriate.

After all, Kakashi is already so depressed, and working in an environment like ANBU may be detrimental to his growth.

But Minato ultimately decided to respect Kakashi's own wishes.

"Perhaps Kakashi can take some quiet time in the ANBU."
