The fifth generation of Konoha Village was booked by me

"Sandaime-sama, these are some of my immature opinions and suggestions."

In a conference room in the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato handed one of his reports to Sarutobi Hiruzen and others.

This conference room is not big, and there are not many people working in it, but everyone in it is very important.

In addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, there are also some key important department ministers in Konoha such as Koharu Koharu, Mito Kaden, Shikaku Nara, etc.

Such meetings seemed to help Minato Namikaze brainstorm ideas, so that he would not go astray in more decisions and judgments, and that even if problems arose, he could be brought back in time.

But Namikaze Minato, who has participated in many such meetings, knows that when ministers like Nara Shikaku attend meetings, they usually watch their noses and mouths and basically don't speak.

There are always only a few people who speak. The most important thing and what depresses Minato Namikaze the most is that these people who speak not only have high status.

And even if they give counter-arguments, sometimes Namikaze Minato himself feels that it makes sense.

Just like he proposed to improve the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village, and then proposed to let more Uchiha into some other departments, so that they can slowly reintegrate into Konoha.

But unfortunately, the rebuttal reason he received was that the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha cannot be solved by one or two department positions. It is a long-term and arduous task.

Moreover, the character of the Uchiha clan also destined them to be unable to achieve a substantial and effective role in many departments, and because such a character would further worsen the already bad situation.

In addition, the power in the hands of Uchiha, who already controls the Security Department, is strong enough. The sudden addition of other positions will only upset the balance in the village.

This statement made Namikaze Minato extremely depressed, but he still had nothing to do.

He wanted to say, if you don't try it, how will you know that the Uchiha clan is not good?

But the real problem is that Uchiha, who controls the security department, may cause an imbalance in the village by giving them additional powers.

The better thing is that everyone understands and everything is fine.

Worse, the various interest groups in the village were dissatisfied, and the Uchiha clan became even more arrogant due to the sudden increase in power.

It can be said that this is a paradox at all, unless Uchiha is willing to open the security department.

However, according to a lot of intelligence, the competition for the Security Department within the Uchiha clan has never stopped, and if an outsider intervenes, it will only get worse.

"Hmph, what kind of suggestions are you making, Hokage-sama!"

Just as Namikaze Minato was thinking, Shimura Danzo suddenly snorted and said.

"Without close enough monitoring and decisive enough measures, there would be no peace in Konoha!"

The reason why Danzo was angry and said something directly to Namikaze Minato that could be regarded as "lower than above" was because Namikaze Minato had already touched his interests!

Fundamentally, this is the core of Namikaze Minato's proposal this time.

Maybe it was Natsuhiko's information that made Namikaze Minato think about it, or maybe he really couldn't stand the basic approach of 'you deserve to be killed if you resist, and if you don't resist, you should be killed by default'.

Therefore, his focus in this proposal was to start with the roots, but he also knew that some things could not be accomplished overnight.

If he wants to thoroughly intervene into the roots and get more and more detailed things without alerting others, he must be more careful and concealed in his actions.

For example, right now, the question he raised was about the root's way of doing things.

He knew that many members of the family were dissatisfied with the roots, and he planned to try to weaken the roots, or test the bottom line of the roots, which is why he came up with the current report.

The main purpose of this report is to require a thorough investigation before taking action, and to give a reasonable explanation to the people in the village after the investigation is completed.

"That's true, but don't you think you've gone too far?"

Namikaze Minato frowned and looked at Danzo as he spoke word by word.

“If the person you attacked was someone from outside the village, maybe I wouldn’t say a word at all.

But they are all people inside Konoha, they are all their own people, what you do is going too far! "

"I have no doubts about what I did, nor any hesitation." Danzo looked directly at Namikaze Minato, as if he didn't regard him as a Hokage at all: "Everything I did was for Konoha. .”

"Is this how you protect Konoha?" Minato Namikaze frowned a little deeper: "Aren't those people residents of Konoha, and is this how you protect them?"

"Don't change the concept." Danzo shook his head, and then he said indifferently: "The Konoha I am talking about is the Konoha Village! There may be borers in the big trees, and there are also cancers and disasters in the village. Is it weird to kill them while protecting Konoha?"

Having said this, Danzo stood up directly. His eyes scanned everyone around him, and finally he stopped at Namikaze Minato.

"Hokage-sama, your report is worthless because you have no idea how much trouble Konoha is facing now.

And I can tell Master Hokage responsibly that everything I do is for Konoha, and I will never stop.

Whether it is an individual or a family, as long as they betray Konoha and violate Konoha, then there is no need for me to relieve Konoha's burden.

The Hokage-sama's ideas are too naive, and the evidence is never easy to find because he will be covered up.

Once your investigation alarms them, or according to your statement, you let them know where they made a mistake.

Then they will shrink back like a tortoise and look for other ways to continue destroying Konoha.

This will not only cause greater harm to Konoha, but also cause unnecessary harm to other innocent people.

I know Hokage-sama is dissatisfied, but the roots have remained standing for so long.

And it has thwarted the harm to Konoha time and time again, which has proved the value of its existence.

Even though it has a bad reputation, Hokage-sama is basically here to do dirty work.

Lord Hokage doesn't want his hands to be stained with blood, right? "

After Danzo spoke on the phone, his thoughts were so clear and smooth that Namikaze Minato didn't even know what to say. He even almost had the idea of ​​"questioning whether it was reasonable".

The existence of Roots was indeed necessary, which he couldn't deny, but he really couldn't agree with Roots' approach.

Do all ninjas have to be under the dark cloud at their roots, and may face its butcher knife at any time without knowing it?

"Okay, Fourth Hokage." At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke: "I know what you mean, and I will also urge the root to make some changes. After all, it is peace time now."

"But, Yondaime, there is something I must say."

"Sir, the Third Hokage, please speak."

“Sometimes even if everyone knows something, but you don’t reveal it, everyone will pretend not to know.

But once you expose it, some things must be investigated, and the results must even be made public.

At that time, there will be many things happening in many departments, and even you may be involved.

Such a result will make many people unable to believe in Naruto, and will also make many people afraid to approach him.

Remember the Yondaime, ninjas have the right to know their own situation, even after the fact.

But they also have the right to be ignorant, even after the fact. "

.......

After walking out of the office, Minato Namikaze sighed helplessly.

The result of this meeting was very helpless, and could even be described as a great failure, although all this was actually within his expectations.

But being denied so thoroughly still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But Namikaze Minato was Namikaze Minato after all. He knew that this time was just a trial, which was almost enough for him.

Because he could see that both Danzo and the Third Hokage seemed to have an attitude of approval towards the root's existence and their actions.

Even if it was just acquiescence, this was enough to remind Namikaze Minato of many interesting things.

What makes him extremely regretful is that he can't find anything to refute Danzo, at least not yet.

Not now, even in the past, he had no good way to refute the questions about the Uchiha clan.

"And I seem to have underestimated Danzo's rebuttal ability."

In Namikaze Minato's impression, Danzo was always silent but was indeed the most cruel. He didn't talk much but did a lot.

And he also did these things very viciously, leaving basically no room for it.

Today's collision with Danzo made him realize that this guy's eloquence was not bad. He could even speak logically and logically so that Namikaze Minato could not refute.

The most terrible thing is that the views put forward by this guy are actually somewhat correct. This is the most difficult part.

"Forget it, it's better not to think about this matter."

Namikaze Minato sighed slightly, and at this moment he had returned to the office.

Looking at the pile of documents on the table, he felt for a moment that he was not here to formulate policies at all.

He is just a tool who keeps signing and cooperating with the so-called "correct policies".

Shaking his head, Namikaze Minato opened a document and began to read it seriously, but now he was also a little curious and worried.

“There should be no problem if Natsuhiko and Kakashi run to Sunagakure Village.

But, why did he choose such a dangerous mission..."

...

"It seems like that kid has given up for the time being."

After ministers such as Namikaze Minato and Nara Shikaku left, Shimura Danzo sat in his seat without getting up. He spoke directly to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It's just temporary. Fortunately, he has the habit of handling documents in the office, otherwise we wouldn't be aware of such important information."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, then he stood up directly and looked at Danzo.

"I have always disapproved of your use of such extreme methods, but as a teammate I believe in your character, and as a colleague I understand your judgment.

Therefore, I won’t say anything more about this matter. You can just handle it yourself, Danzo. "

"Don't think so highly of yourself."

Danzo also stood up at this moment. He looked directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and finally joked in a hoarse voice.

“The first step is to scare the reporter, the second step is to question the one-sidedness of the report, and the third step is to cater to certain views.

Although I didn’t use the fourth step, it’s an interesting move to stigmatize the reporter.

Hiruzen, the method I used to refute him today was all learned from you.

It seems that you are really good at handling similar things. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but pause when he heard these words. Then he turned back and glanced at Danzo, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, it is the same as Danzo said, he has indeed dealt with a lot of such things, and he has many ways to reject some reports that have a negative impact on him.

When he first came to power, he was too weak, and he didn't know how much he had been wronged, so he had to use various means to deal with all kinds of troubles.

When he truly takes power, everyone is considered his subordinate, and many people even become members of his interest group.

Therefore, he had to continue using this method. He couldn't kill those people just because he had a disagreement. In that case, his Hokage would basically be over.

It's just a matter of understanding it, but actually saying it out is another matter.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things." Shimura Danzo saw the look in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and he began to change the subject with satisfaction: "I heard that you let that Senju brat out? You want to get rid of him so quickly? Already?"

"This is a mission he chose himself." Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice seemed a little indifferent. He placed the cigarette rod in front of the candlestick and gently tested the heat, and then said slowly: "He is so smart, so he naturally knows this mission. How dangerous it is, but if he wants to try it, let him try it.”

"Just right, I also want to see what he can do."

...

In the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Qiong had just walked back into the house when she noticed that there was already a person sitting in the room drinking tea.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Uchiha Qiong showed a smile, and then sat over: "You didn't say a word when you came here, so I can come back early."

"No, I'll just wait for you, Qiong." Qiong's grandfather shook his head casually: "By the way, how is your application report?"

"The application report from the Medical Department?" Qiong took the initiative to make a cup of tea for Grandpa, and then sighed slightly: "Grandpa, actually you also know that my report will not pass at all, at least there is no way now, right? "

Uchiha Qiong actually knew very well that the medical department application report he submitted was impossible to pass.

Her report was actually more like a petition, an attitude towards Konoha expressed by the family power represented by her grandfather.

She is very smart, she has always known her grandfather's thoughts, and she also knows that the current situation within the family is not optimistic.

It's just that she knows more clearly how difficult it is to succeed in this matter. At least there is no response at all until now, which already explains everything.

"I understand, this matter is indeed very troublesome, very troublesome." Qiong's grandfather also sighed, "It's just a matter of attitude. We need to do it, and we must do it."

"I understand, Grandpa." Qiong nodded slightly, she really understood these issues.

"By the way, let me ask you a question." Qiong's grandfather obviously didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters, so he suddenly said.

"What's the problem, Grandpa?" Qiong looked at his grandfather in confusion.

"You...had a classmate Kakashi back then. Do you still know him?"

"..."
