"Sandaime-sama, did something happen?"
Noticing the serious expression on Sandaime's face, Watergate's face also became serious.
Although Watergate is now the fourth Naruto, the way he addresses Sandaime and the others hasn't changed.
Sandaime quickly approached Watergate and said in a low voice: "From the information gathered by my Anbu, Root's activities are a bit abnormal."
"Abnormal?"
Watergate was startled. In fact, he just succeeded Naruto, and most of the Anbu under Naruto were still under Sandaime Naruto's control.
Therefore, in terms of obtaining certain information, Sandaime was much earlier than him.
Root's composition is even more special, led by Danzo, even Naruto doesn't know anything about it.
It's a potential force for the village, but it's also a potential threat to Naruto.
So Sandaime sent the Anbu to monitor Root's activities all year round.
"Yeah."
At this time, Sandaime walked in front of Watergate and took a deep breath and said: "So I ordered the Anbu to investigate …"
"A few days ago, it seems that a considerable number of Root members left the village and haven't returned yet."
Sandaime said, he can only turn a blind eye to some of Root's actions.
But this time is different, Root's actions are too strange, if the Anbu didn't notice the inexplicable decrease in Root's members in recent days, they wouldn't know anything about it.
And the time when Root members left the village is just the time when the village is preparing for Naruto's succession ceremony.
Danzo chose this time to make a move, obviously he doesn't want Naruto to know about this.
Hearing this, Watergate's face became a bit serious.
"In this case, we should immediately order the Anbu to investigate this matter …"
Watergate frowned, investigating Root can't be done by ordinary ninjas, because it's likely to involve some sensitive issues in the village.
"Of course, I know." Sandaime nodded, and the serious look on his face eased a bit.
"How is it?
Starting to deal with these complicated things, are you used to it? "
Sandaime doesn't doubt Watergate's ability, but as Naruto, in addition to ability, patience is more important.
Dealing with everything in such a large village, a considerable part of it was trivial matters.
But the more important it is, the more he can't take it lightly, and everything can't be handled carelessly.
"Since you gave the village to me, of course, I can't let you down."
Minato said, he has almost finished all the documents, and only some of the tasks are left to the ninjas in the village to carry out.
"Haha, you are still the same …" Sandaime chuckled.
In front of Sandaime, Minato pondered for a moment and said, "Sandaime, I just happen to have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?"
"I want to expand the organization of the Dark Department. After all, the Dark Department lost some elites in the previous war."
Watergate said. During the Third Shinobi World War, Sandaime-sama ordered his Anbu to participate in the war.
Although Wood Leaf had won a great victory in the war, a considerable number of Dark Group elites had also died.
Hearing this, the Sandaime frowned.
He understood what Watergate meant. Although the latter had become the fourth Naruto at this time, other than Naruto's authority, he still lacked something important.
Team.
Needless to say, Watergate's prestige in the village was high, but even so, there were still some people who were dissatisfied with him succeeding Naruto.
Under such circumstances, Watergate could only slowly coordinate, but in order to deal with some unexpected situations, he had to have a part of his own power in his hands.
Presumably, this was one of the important reasons for Watergate's expansion of the Dark Group.
Looking at Sandaime-sama's reaction in front of him, Watergate also secretly thought about it.
The background of him succeeding Naruto was somewhat different from the previous Naruto, because the first three Naruto succeeded Naruto after the death of the previous Naruto.
But today, Wood Leaf, Sandaime-sama was already alive, plus the three elders of Wood Leaf, they all had their own forces.
As the fourth Naruto, Watergate was the weakest among them.
Therefore, in order to consolidate his position and prestige in the Naruto, he must strengthen the power of his own wings as soon as possible.
It's not that Watergate was ungrateful, but if he didn't do it, he, the fourth Naruto, would be no different from a puppet.
Watergate regarded everyone in Wood Leaf as his companions, even Danzo, who he had always hated, was no exception.
But this didn't mean that he could be controlled by others.
Just like today, he learned about Danzo and Gen's abnormality from Sandaime-sama.
And Sandaime-sama's mood was slightly complicated.
But after pondering for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Now that you are Naruto, of course, I respect your decision."
"Thank you." After receiving Sandaime-sama's response, Watergate said respectfully.
"Do you have an idea in mind about the candidate for the expansion of the Anbu?"
Sandaime-sama asked. The only benefit of the war that just ended for the village is that most of the ninjas who survived under the baptism of war have grown tremendously.
So now the ninjas in Wood Leaf can be said to be elites.
The expansion of the Anbu is not a problem, but the selection of the captain of the new Anbu is very important.
His ability and strength must be convinced by everyone.
Although there are many such strong people in Wood Leaf, but for Watergate, there are not many choices.
As Watergate's seniors, the Sannin and Hatake Sho Sho, each of them has this ability.
But thinking about it carefully, they are not suitable for this position. Tsunade, as the founder of Wood Leaf's medical system, after the war, she has been busy perfecting the medical system.
Jiraiya -sensei's personality is not suitable for this kind of position. As for Orochimaru, although he didn't show it on the surface, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Watergate's decision.
As for Hatake Sho Sho, he seems to be the most suitable candidate, but he has always been Sandaime-sama's right-hand man before.
If Watergate let him be the captain of his new Anbu unit, it is tantamount to giving Sho Sho -sensei a difficult problem.
Among the people of the same generation in the Water Sect, there were only two people with such strength and prestige.
With Rope Tree's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for him to do what the Anbu did.
The remaining person … seems to be the most impossible, but he is the best candidate in Watergate's mind.
Watergate stared at Sandaime-sama and said.
"Yes, I plan to let Uchiha Yan be the captain of the new Anbu unit!"
