Starting the fourth generation Hokage

The so-called powerful and eternal power apparently refers to the tailed beast.

Because the power of tailed beasts is indeed powerful, and as a huge body of chakra energy, it is neither dead nor destroyed. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is eternal.

But the meaning behind Namikaze Minato's words was obviously more than that.

"Of course, now I am committed to pursuing the truth in this world." Orochimaru seemed to be interested and replied without hesitation: "But compared with the almost eternal power of tailed beasts in the world, human power It seems too fragile.”

"Physical life is too short and too impermanent."

"Yondaime, don't you yearn for eternity?"

Orochimaru's hoarse and gloomy voice was like a devil's whisper, and seemed to have an invisible inducement power.

There were not many opportunities to debate with the philosophers of the ninja world. Namikaze Minato suddenly became more interested and replied calmly: "Lord Orochimaru, there is nothing eternal in this world."

"There is nothing wrong with human beings yearning for eternity, but it is a pity..."

"When manpower is limited, even tailed beasts in our eyes, or even beings that are more powerful than tailed beasts, cannot live as long as heaven and earth."

"Things are not only meaningful if they are eternal, but the temporary may be more exciting..."

Jiraiya and the two advisors on the side felt a little baffled by the conversation between Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru.

Just as they were hesitating whether to interrupt, Orochimaru suddenly frowned and said in denial: "That's not the case, Yondaime."

"If you can hold everything in the palm of your hand, you will surely be able to discover the so-called truth in this world."

"And this premise is to first break the shackles of human beings' limited life span."

"For this, even if you sacrifice anything, it is worth it..."

Seeing the fervor in Orochimaru's eyes, Namikaze Minato sighed inwardly and frowned.

It seems that it is impossible to change Orochimaru's thoughts and ideas by talking.

"Okay, okay, on an occasion like today, let's not talk about sacrifice..." Jiraiya couldn't help but interrupt.

"That's right. The Nakajonin in the village suffered a lot in the Kyuubi incident. Orochimaru Jiraiya, you two should stay in the village for now." Mito Kadoyan also said: "Tano Kuni's Let’s send others to do the task first.”

Due to the Nine-Tails incident, due to the reduction in the number of jounin among the elite, there will obviously be a backlog in the number of high-level missions.

At this time, it would be wonderful to bring the Sannin back to the village to relieve the pressure of high-level mission entrustment.

These two consultants are quite capable...

At the meeting beforehand, Namikaze Minato, who suggested preparing for war in advance, did not expect that recalling the Sannin would have such benefits.

When Orochimaru heard that he was going to stay in Konoha, he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Danzo who had been silent, and finally chose to agree.

The sky was getting darker and gloomier, and soon it started to rain.

Many of the villagers who came to attend the funeral ceremony later took out umbrellas that had been prepared and lined up to enter and exit in an orderly manner.

The funeral lasted for a long time before it ended, but the rain became heavier and heavier.

As soon as he returned to the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato received a document from the Roots.

The content is to recruit new ANBU members in accordance with the decision of the last meeting. During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, almost half of the Anbu members were lost. The fourth Anbu detachment of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was specially arranged to guard the outside of the Jinchuuriki production barrier. It was attacked by the two merged White Zetsu and the Nine-Tails. In a fierce battle, the team was almost wiped out. Only the squad leader and the remaining two team members survived.

Compared to them, the ANBU in the first and second teams who served as bait at the false barrier did not suffer too many casualties. All their casualties occurred during the attack on the Kyuubi at the gate of Konoha. .

This document lists the names and information of the ninja recruited by ANBU.

Because of the special nature of ANBU, as long as a ninja is determined to become ANBU, his or her identity card will be secretly sealed separately and will not coexist with the information of ordinary ninjas in Konoha.

Once this list is approved, the ninja information on it will be temporarily kept secretly, and then the ninjas on the list will first enter root training. After passing the training, they will become official ANBU.

Their ninja information cards were officially stored in the top-secret database on the same day.

As for the training tasks of ANBU members, all are handled by the roots managed by Danzo, so Danzo is usually responsible for matters related to the recruitment of new ANBU members. Although the rules of the Anbu are strict, the ability of the ANBU training department that Danzo is responsible for is still worthy of recognition.

As an ANBU member, he is different from ordinary ninjas. He performs high-risk and high-pressure tasks all year round, so it is necessary to instill a strict sense of timing.

The names and ninja information on the list now need to be reviewed by Namikaze Minato in person and then stamped for confirmation.

At a glance, they were all Konoha ninjas at the elite chuunin and special jounin levels. Since Namikaze Minato didn't recognize any of these names, he just took a cursory look at them and put them aside.

Sitting on the seat, listening to the patter of rain outside the window behind him, Minato Namikaze's eyes were suddenly attracted by the last report in the file.

This proposal, written by Danzo himself, clearly states that through this opportunity for Anbu to train new members to join, the Roots will also be expanded to a small team.

The organization of the root members is the same as that of the ANBU.

A team also has four members, but the root size is extremely small. There are nearly seventy people in the ANBU establishment. The number of members in the root branch plus the personnel in charge of the ANBU training department is actually only about twenty.

Namikaze Minato originally wanted to refuse Danzo's request, but after thinking about it, he stamped the document again.

Because he suddenly thought that although Danzo Shimura had seemingly replaced Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Hokage's assistant, in fact, due to the existence of his roots, he was not like Hiruzen Sarutobi and asked to have his own Zhili. Anbu's.

The death of Sarutobi Hiruzen actually made it natural for Namikaze Minato to take back the direct command authority of the fourth ANBU team.

Therefore, if Danzo agrees to this request, he will have a reason to prevent him from getting involved in the fourth ANBU team again.

Kumogakure and Iwagakure are eyeing each other. Seeing that the war is imminent, Danzo's martial arts faction is just in time to play its role. The matter of overthrowing Danzo and reorganizing the root can only be postponed and considered.

The reorganization of the ANBU will obviously have to wait until this group of recruited ninjas completes their training.

Namikaze Minato thought about it and suddenly recalled Orochimaru's incident, and couldn't help but started to have a headache again. Now Orochimaru is temporarily staying in the village, I hope he can restrain himself.

"Wait, I stayed in the village..."

Namikaze Minato suddenly had a flash of inspiration and immediately summoned two experienced Anbu.

A top-secret mission was conveyed in person: "Linjiao, Eagle, please go to Tian Country..."
