The document Xia Yan saw was really nothing else, but some daily tasks and plans of the ANBU.

The ANBU has a heavy workload, which is no joke. Xia Yan's eagerness to expand the ANBU is not only to accumulate strength for himself, but also has another important point.

That is, he does not want to be entangled in many political affairs of the ANBU, so that he is forced to go to jail in the ANBU.

ANBU operators need to be improved so that Natsuhiko can reach out to more places.

With the increase in the number of government personnel, Xia Yancai no longer needs to be burdened with a lot of trivial matters all day long.

Some trivial things may seem easy and simple, but the number of them is so huge that it is unimaginable.

For Xia Yan, who had never thought about doing everything personally, such lethality was simply more unacceptable to him than fighting the Kyuubi.

Therefore, he needs more administrative staff to work, at least to help him solve those damn things that are not important but have to be dealt with.

Especially as the number of combat personnel increases, it is conceivable that there will be more and more such things, so the proposal is made to deal with the government personnel first.

"But this matter is not a trivial matter. After all, it still concerns the Hokage."

Xia Yan's face changed slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He really didn't expect that he would encounter such an interesting thing.

The content of this document is not much, but it is enough to make Xia Yan's heart beat, because it records that Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to set off in the near future to meet the Daimyo in the capital of the Land of Fire.

This is the power of ANBU!

The ANBU is the department that can fully grasp the whereabouts of Hokage from beginning to end, even though the ANBU and the Third Hokage are essentially separated now.

But no matter how separated, the intelligence and information that should be available can still be obtained by the Anbu, just like now.

According to the intelligence, Natsuhiko knew that the purpose of Sarutobi Hiruzen's visit to the daimyo was very simple, which was to inform the daimyo that Konoha's Hokage had been temporarily replaced.

As for how long it will last temporarily, it is impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to tell the daimyo, and there is no need to tell the daimyo such a thing.

In addition, Natsuhiko guessed that Sarutobi Hiruzen was planning to get some money back from the daimyo.

After all, rebuilding Konoha is a big project. Although it would be very convenient for ninjas to do this kind of thing, you must know that there are not only ninjas in Konoha Village.

There are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of residents here, and so many people need to have jobs to have income.

Rebuilding Konoha can provide a large number of jobs, and everyone will carefully calculate such an economic cost.

After all, ninjas have tasks to take on, and they also have certain subsidies from the village, but ordinary villagers don't have such things, and they can only find ways to make a living on their own.

“So, go to the daimyo to ask for a huge amount of aid, and then you can provide enough job opportunities to the villagers.

At work, you can temporarily forget the pain caused by the Kyuubi, and at the same time, you can make a huge income for the surviving residents.

And the money can also be used to give to the medical department, which is nominally a relief fund for injured residents and ninjas. "

Xia Yan just turned his head a little, and he had already touched a lot of things, and he even touched many of Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts.

After thinking about these things clearly, Xia Yan also had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen wants money, and he also likes the chakra of Kyuubi, can he temporarily cooperate with Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Of course, this kind of cooperation may only be a taste, because Xia Yan himself is also interested in the money!

The development of Anbu also requires money, especially since he is planning to expand his personnel in a drastic way, and the funds required are also astronomical.

There is no doubt that Sarutobi Hiruzen will allocate funds. After all, in order to maintain the internal peace of Konoha, sometimes he can bear the humiliation.

If it had been Danzo, I'm afraid it would be impossible for him to announce the disbandment of ANBU directly on the spot.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen will allocate funds, but the amount of the allocation is really questionable.

Natsuhiko didn't want to be stuck. Originally, he planned to use the name of Minato Namikaze to go directly to the people in the finance department.

But now that there is such an opportunity, and he can also get the Kyuubi's chakra, he must also participate. In this case, he and Sarutobi Hiruzen may have to really cooperate.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan stood up and looked at the Hokage's office not far away.

Now that we have decided to go to the capital of the Land of Fire together, it is natural that as the ANBU minister, we should also visit Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It would be good to meet with Sarutobi Hiruzen in advance and discuss this matter carefully. By the way, you can also see the old man's attitude more intuitively."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's actual attitude is much better than Natsuhiko's own guess here.

Raising his hand, Xia Yan tapped the table a few times, and soon an ANBU ninja appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Buchou." This ANBU showed unusual respect.

"Inform the three captains or acting captains of Yuutu, White Fang, and Antelope that I'm going out and let them solve their own problems, you know?" Xia Yan calmly gave his order.

"Yes, Sir!" The ANBU immediately lowered his head and responded, and then he disappeared directly into the office.

Looking at the back of this Anbu leaving, I have to say that the taste of power is indeed fascinating. Just one sentence from Natsuhiko can solve a lot of problems.

This may be irresistible to anyone, especially those ninjas who are old and weak, but their strength has declined, but they were once at the top.

With a chuckle, Natsuhiko didn't bother to analyze what the so-called Big Four of Konoha thought.

He just needs to know that these people are blocking his path.

The chakra shook slightly, and his figure disappeared from the office in just an instant. When he appeared again, he was already in the Hokage Building!

As he walked forward, many ninjas were stunned when they saw him.

The ANBU stationed here did not conduct any inspection on him, and it didn't take him much time to reach the door of the Hokage's office.

"Knock knock knock." He knocked lightly on the door, and then Xia Yan stood at the door waiting.

"Come in." Soon, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice came from inside the door, and Natsumi opened the door and walked in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking at the report in his hand seriously. He didn't even look carefully to see who had come in. It had to be said that he was indeed conscientious of his duties.

However, when he raised his head and noticed that the person coming was Xia Yan, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and his eyes became alert at this moment.

But he soon relaxed, and then he asked in a slightly weird tone.

"Why are you here, Minister Xia Yan?"

...

Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed very stunned now, because he had no idea why this guy Natsuhiko came here.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was really wary of this guy Natsuhiko, because strictly speaking he was also one of Natsuhiko's victims.

When Xia Yan approached him, even if he didn't trust Xia Yan that much, he accepted Xia Yan's existence anyway.

And in order to better control this descendant of the Thousand Hands clan, he did not hesitate to give away the position of captain of the third brigade.

What shocked him was that after Natsuhiko became the captain of the Third Division, he seemed to continue to serve him, but in fact he kicked him away and approached Namikaze Minato!

Although this kind of betrayal was not that bad, after all, Sarutobi Hiruzen had never completely believed in Natsuhiko.

But Natsuhiko's betrayal made Namikaze Minato completely firm up his determination, and he also took away the entire ANBU forcefully, which made him a little depressed to the extreme.

This was a serious backstab, even though he was somewhat relieved that Namikaze Minato knew how to use his Hokage power.

But losing the entire ANBU, and having Danzo's handle in someone else's hands, still made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel extremely heartbroken.

Now that Xia Yan is running in front of him, it feels like someone is seriously disgusting you.

He unceremoniously snatches things from your hands, and when you have no choice but to run up to you, this feeling is naturally very unpleasant.

At the same time, we must be careful to prevent this guy from having any bad intentions.

"Hokage-sama."

Natsuhiko didn't know what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, he just nodded with a smile while maintaining a gentle attitude.

Then he raised his hand and made a 'retreat' gesture. Just for a moment, the ANBU who stayed in the Hokage's office appeared one by one, and soon they left the office silently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at all this indifferently, and then he waited until everyone left before shaking his head silently.

"You're not here to show off to me how well you control the ANBU, are you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice sounded distant and angry.

"If that's the case, then I can only say that you are still too naive."

"Hokage-sama, why do you think I'm here to show off to you?"

Xia Yan shook his head slightly, he seemed a little innocent.

"If I really want to show off, I have to wait until I complete the expansion. Of course, this is not an easy task."

"Oh?" Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head slightly and asked with a somewhat wandering gaze.

"Minister Xia Yan submitted the plan with confidence, and I agreed. Why do you find it difficult?"

"Because, if we want to complete the expansion thoroughly and quickly, we must completely lower the standards of ANBU."

Xia Yan's attitude was still so gentle, he looked like he was facing an old friend.

"But I don't intend to lower this standard, so either it cannot be completely filled, or there will be no reserve team to use in the future. This is really not an easy thing."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Xia Yan silently. He did not answer this question, but he recognized Xia Yan's words in his heart.

He was really sighing now. He originally thought that Natsuhiko was eager for quick success and wanted to 'expand the territory'. At the same time, he also felt that Namikaze Minato was planning to use ANBU to gain greater leverage for himself.

Therefore, he did not object to this proposal. On the one hand, he did not intend to intervene in order to hold Danzo.

On the other hand, he wanted to see how Anbu would end up with Minato Namikaze and the others if they messed up like this and caused trouble when the quality dropped, and even had a negative impact on Konoha.

As a result, now he discovered that Xia Yan, the brat, seemed to see everything very clearly, which made him even more confused.

Why would he do this knowing that this was the case?

"I think Hokage-sama must be very confused, right?"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could ask, Natsuhiko had already spoken. He showed a smile and then spoke slowly.

"Actually, it's very simple, that is, intensive training. After all, the current personnel are still enough.

Then let the current members maintain the previous organization, while the new members continue to train.

At the same time, I have to constantly select suitable new people from various families and orphanages, and then eliminate some people I don't trust.

By the time all the ANBU were qualified, the ANBU had become a piece of iron and they were all people worthy of my trust. "

"This can't be accomplished within a few years."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Natsuhiko in confusion. He wondered why Natsuhiko told him, and even more confused about what Natsuhiko's purpose was.

But he didn't care, he could now know the Anbu's future plans, which was a good thing for him.

“The orphanage is indeed good, but the talents of the children there vary greatly, and the staff is not necessarily sufficient.

The big family is indeed good, but they let their own people enter the ANBU, but they hope they can contact the Hokage and get access to information.

If it was just endless training, I'm afraid they wouldn't be satisfied.

In addition, there is also the issue of money. Do you think Konoha still has that much money now? "

"Family ninjas are easy to handle, as long as they are rotated well."

Xia Yan casually found a seat and sat down, and then continued to speak.

"I can rotate them to do some tasks. After all, they are all combat power. If they are not used, they will be wasted.

As for the money issue, this is indeed a big trouble, because expansion requires a lot of money.

Konoha is indeed in difficulty now, but there are still people behind Konoha, such as a daimyo? "

At this point, Natsuhiko stopped, while Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered slightly.

He finally knew why this boy Xia Yan came to him and told him a series of Anbu's plans.

It turned out that this boy knew that he was going to the daimyo, and may have guessed that he wanted to get money from the daimyo.

And this kid may have some ideas, and he is also very interested in the money in the daimyo's pocket.

So he stated his plan as a deal, and the result of this deal was that he also wanted to get a piece of the pie from the daimyo!

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the pipe and lit it. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it.

He thought for a moment, and then asked: "Did you guess that I'm going to ask the daimyo for money? Then you know, how do I plan to use the money?"

"Hokage-sama, now is not the time to test my comprehensive ability, right?"

Natsuhiko shook his head slightly, but since Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, he didn't mind answering.

At the same time, he also planned to let Sarutobi Hiruzen know that what he came here to seek this time was 'cooperation', not 'wagging his tail in prayer', and he was even in a strong position!

"But since Hokage-sama has asked, I naturally have to answer it properly.

In fact, I guess the Hokage-sama will use this money in two directions. The first one is to hire the residents of the village.

Rebuilding the village with residents can not only provide enough jobs, but also use the busyness to make them temporarily forget their pain.

The most important thing is that the residents rebuilt Konoha with their own hands, which is even more meaningful.

As for the second aspect, it is handed over to the medical department. The medical department's rescue is expendable, and the money is used to avoid the expenses of injured ninjas and residents.

It can even provide a certain basic guarantee for their future lives. I think this is what Hokage decided, right? "

After saying these things, Natsuhiko stopped and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile, but at this time Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked calm.

It's just that the smoke that is constantly floating out of the cigarette rod seems a little irregular at this time, as if the cigarette rod is shaking.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed shocked. He knew that Xia Yan had guessed that he wanted to get the money, and he also guessed that this kid might have figured out some of his thoughts.

But he really didn't expect this kid to think of so many things, if it weren't for the fact that these things were just constructed in his heart and not written down in writing.

He even suspected that this boy was using his ANBU privileges to monitor him all the time.

This kid is really an extremely smart guy!

"And, Hokage-sama."

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking a lot, Natsuhiko spoke again.

"I also understand why Hokage-sama gave me the ANBU. In addition to the appointment of the Fourth Hokage-sama, there is also Danzo's matter, right?"

Upon hearing Danzo's face, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes finally changed slightly, and he immediately raised his head and stared at Natsuhiko.

"No need to be nervous, I'm not stupid. Although the education in the previous transaction should be completed in the previous transaction, I also got the benefits."

Xia Yan said casually, leaning back slightly on the sofa, and then said with a smile.

“But the reason why a handle is a handle is that it can be used repeatedly.

I don't want to be too shameless, but Hokage-sama also needs to consider Danzo's situation, doesn't he?

What's more, didn't my expansion of ANBU also help Hokage-sama solve some minor troubles, such as the trouble at the root? "

Having said this, Natsu Yan looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a smile. At this moment, he had completely suppressed Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Once someone has a weakness or a handle, that person can only accept being manipulated.

This sentence is definitely not empty talk. The bald brother Russell in Xia Yan's memory was so miserable because his trick was caught by an old fox.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo's matter is definitely a fatal factor.

If he wants to keep Danzo, then to some extent he is absolutely weak when facing Natsuhiko, and even has no choice but to compromise on many issues.

But it wasn't that Natsuhiko didn't give him any benefits. Although his words were vague, Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously understood them immediately.

He took a few deep breaths from the cigarette rod, and then spit out the green smoke, but it could be seen that he seemed to have come to some conclusions.

"I have to say, you kid is really beyond my expectations."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Xia Yan seriously, and his tone was also so solemn.

"I see the shadow of the teacher in you. It seems that your Thousand Hands clan has really trained you very well."

"Thank you for your compliments, Hokage-sama, but the place where I learned the most was actually when I was in ANBU."

Xia Yan smiled and shook his head. His smile was so bright at this time because he had already guessed the answer.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored Natsuhiko's answer and asked directly: "I can agree to your request, how much do you want."

"This matter is not clear yet, but I think it will appear more sincere if I go with Mr. Hokage." Xia Yan did not give a direct answer, but changed his request.

"Having the ANBU chief as a security personnel makes me very reassured." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Natsuhiko, and then nodded directly.

"Then please keep it secret for now, Hokage-sama. I will be here when we set off." Xia Yan stood up, and then bowed slightly: "It is also an honor for me to serve as Hokage-sama's bodyguard."

"Anbu still has a lot of work, so I won't keep you here." Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table with his cigarette rod: "Then, I will wait for the arrival of the minister."

Xia Yan smiled and nodded, and then walked out of the office.

In this meeting, Xia Yan got what he wanted, and he also gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a hard push quietly. How could he be unhappy?

After walking out of the Hokage Building, Xia Yan looked at the sky, where the scorching sun was hanging in the sky.

Even though it is already autumn, the weather is still very warm. Such good weather is naturally worthy of a good mood.

This time Natsuhiko dug a hole for Sarutobi Hiruzen, a huge hole.

Although he didn't know when he really started to show his power, Natsuhiko knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he had already agreed.

Xia Yan personally broke the restrictions of Anbu, so as a brother force with the same origin as Anbu, the roots can naturally break the original constraints.

They can naturally start to expand and get more talents!

Although there may be a situation where they compete with Natsuhiko for talents, they may not move now because Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't have that much energy.

Therefore, Natsuhiko still has time, and he can also force Hiruzen Sarutobi hard, so that the Third Hokage will continue to feel the pressure, and finally let the Third Hokage hand the matter over to Shimura Danzo!

"Once this kind of matter is handed over to Shimura Danzo, are you still worried that Sarutobi Hiruzen will be far away from arousing public anger?"

Xia Yan silently thought that even at this moment, he had already thought about how to force Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Orochimaru is also a good person, and he will defect after the shock, so why don't you give him a lift?

...

"How's the intelligence gathering going?"

In the root base, Danzo looked at the ninja in front of him indifferently and asked in a cold voice.

Nearly a week has passed since he placed the order, and during this week he has been waiting silently.

He was anxious, but he also knew that being anxious had no effect. Without the support of intelligence, he didn't even know what time Sarutobi Hiruzen would set out.

It is even more impossible to know how he will choose the route to set off and what kind of defensive power he will be equipped with, so he must be patient.

This kind of waiting was extremely painful, but fortunately, the people at the root never let him down.

After all, he has been operating at the root for so many years, even though now he is severely suppressed and cannot move out without transfer orders.

But there are also ninjas who are completely loyal to him in the root, and these people also help him and cooperate with him to do many, many things.

For example, a basic ninja used the intelligence collected in the past and then threatened a political ninja in the Hokage's office and asked him to produce a lot of things.

Faced with such a threat, especially after knowing that he was being targeted by the root, this ninja knew that he had no choice.

Either do it, then the whole family will disappear together, and there will be no other consequences.

It wasn't like he hadn't considered telling Hiruzen Sarutobi about this, but he did have some hatred in his heart.

This kind of hatred comes from the third generation of Hokage. During the Nine-Tails Incident, the fourth generation of Hokage worked hard for Konoha, and even needed to cultivate for many years before he could recover.

But the Third Hokage was unscathed. He did not live up to the principle of "Hokage must protect Konoha" at all.

His wife died trying to save his son in this catastrophe, and naturally his heart could not calm down.

Whether it was out of hatred for the loss of his wife, to protect his children, or because he was caught, he could only choose to cooperate with the people at the root.

"The information has been cleared up, Danzo-sama."

This ninja's voice was very low-pitched, and his speaking speed was also very respectful.

"If there are no accidents, we will set off in the next few days, and I will let people keep an eye on the situation of the Third Hokage.

As for the route, there has been no information about any changes so far, and the defensive force seems to be followed by only a few ANBU. "

"Are there only a few ANBU?"

Danzo nodded. Although he felt that the information was still lacking, considering the current situation, he felt that it was basically enough.

He was very familiar with some of his old buddy's thoughts and ideas. This time it was not a new Hokage taking office, so naturally he could not make his posture too big.

He might even choose to meet the daimyo quietly without making a big fuss.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for him to have many escort troops, especially now that Konoha is undergoing organizational reconstruction and all kinds of spies are running around.

I am afraid that the kid from the Senju clan who has mastered the ANBU is definitely not willing to give Sarutobi Hiruzen too many quotas at this time.

Even if he gave it, it would be just a window-dressing at most, a guy who was looking for something but not useful. After all, Senju Natsuhiko and Sarutobi Hiruzen were not from the same group.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work." Danzo thought of this and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "Then follow the plan. You will go to the ambush location and wait."

"Yes, Lord Danzo." The root ninja nodded immediately, and then he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, we are preparing some reliable, obedient people with good concealment skills, and let them follow Sarutobi Hiruzen."

Just as the ANBU was about to leave, Danzo spoke again.

"Also, call A over. I want to see him."

"Yes, Lord Danzo." Without any hesitation, he nodded again, then turned and left the office.

Danzo waited until the root left and continued to stand alone. His eyes were a little wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But now he is also very complicated in his heart, because he made a very terrible decision, but he will never have any regrets!

Danzo never regrets anything he does. He is also a ninja with firm beliefs, otherwise he would not persist until now because of a 'Hokage dream'.

Naruto is his dream, his lifelong dream!

Not long after, there was a knock on his office door, and after getting his permission, a child with a cat face mask and long brown hair walked in.

"Danzo-sama." The child's voice sounded very young, but at such a young age, there was an indescribable indifference.

"A, do you already know about this mission?" Danzo nodded indifferently, and then he asked: "Do you have the confidence and the courage to complete all of this?"

"Master Danzo's order is my goal." A said indifferently: "I don't care who the target is, I will only complete this mission."

"Very good!" Danzo nodded with satisfaction: "I'm looking forward to your performance, and I'm even more looking forward to your Mu Dun's performance. Don't let me down."

"Yes! Lord Danzo." A kneeled directly on the ground, his tone full of determination.

He naturally knew what comparison Danzo wanted. After all, someone in the ANBU used Wood Release on the night of the Nine-Tails, and that Wood Release even stopped the Nine-Tails.

A himself doesn't know how well his Wood Release performs, but he knows that he must not let Danzo-sama down.

This mission was a good opportunity to show off himself. His target was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, but he didn't care at all.

He only knew that Danzo was the most important person to him, the one who saved him, and all he had to do was listen to Danzo.

"Go down." Danzo nodded slightly and then gave the order.

Looking at the back of this kid leaving, Danzo then closed his eyes. Orochimaru had made so many test subjects, but only this kid succeeded.

Moreover, this kid was brought into his roots and trained very well. In order to train this kid, Danzo gave him a lot of information on the Wood Release of the Senju Clan.

Now is the time to show the results, and it is also time for him to see what kind of power the Mu Dun he has cultivated can exert!

"Hiruzhan, I wonder if you will like this gift I prepared for you..."
