"Uchiha Yan!?"
In front of Watergate, Sandaime-sama's expression suddenly changed.
This kind of reaction was already expected by Sandaime.
Because even the current higher-ups of Wood Leaf are still wary of the Uchiha Clan.
When Wood Leaf was first established, it was Uchiha Madara who competed with Naruto Hashirama for the position of Naruto.
For some of the Uchiha Clansmen, subconsciously, they still haven't given up on pursuing power.
Sandaime Naruto was aware of this, so he established the Wood Leaf Police Force and put the Uchiha Clan in charge of it.
The existence of the Police Force often offends some people, and this method is used to prevent the Uchiha Clan from touching the center of power of the village.
Although Sandaime-sama's attitude towards the Uchiha Clan is much better than that of Sandaime, he is still wary of the Uchiha Clan.
Watergate naturally knows all of this, but in his view, this kind of behavior can't dispel the ambitions of the Uchiha Clan, instead, it will only make their grudge towards the higher-ups of the village deeper and deeper.
"Uchiha Yan's strength is indeed enough for this position, but Watergate, you have to know what it means to let the Uchiha Clan be in charge of the Anbu department …"
Sandaime-sama's expression changed greatly, he knows that Uchiha Yan is different from the average Uchiha, but even so, this matter still needs to be thought over and over again.
"Of course, I know this."
Watergate said, "You should also know Uchiha Yan very well, from the time you asked me to carry out the Tang no Guk mission with him, didn't you want to change something?"
Watergate knew that Sandaime has been training him for many years, and Uchiha Yan is also a part of it.
Sandaime is a part of it, so that one day when Watergate becomes Naruto, Uchiha Yan can not only be a help, but also a bridge to improve the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the village.
This was Sandaime's original idea, but he didn't expect Watergate's move to be so bold.
Just now when he succeeded Naruto, he made the Uchiha Clan the leader of the most important force under him …
"Hehe, little guy, you are digging a hole for me …"
Sandaime looked at Watergate in front of him with a bitter smile on his face.
He understood Watergate's approach, but this approach will definitely attract the opposition of the other elders.
This is not a good thing for Watergate who has just succeeded Naruto.
"I know that the Uchiha Clan, I know that, but if I want to change the relationship between the village and the Uchiha Clan, then I must make a bold reform.
"Only by letting the Uchiha feel our sincerity can the following things be carried out smoothly."
Speaking of this, Watergate chuckled and said, "What's more, the Uchiha Clan, like all the other clans in the village, are Wood Leaf's companions, I think it's time to let go of the past grudges and suspicions."
Watergate said. Although some Uchiha Clansmen are a bit extreme, most of them are willing to do everything they can to fulfill the responsibility of Wood Leaf and love the village deeply.
In the Second Shinobi World War, and the Third Shinobi World War, among the heroes who died for the village, there were also Uchiha Clansmen.
Among Watergate's acquaintances, whether it is Mikoto, Uchiha Yan, Waterstop, or Bordered Soil, none of them are the kind of people that Wood Leaf's higher-ups have in their eyes.
"Since this is your decision as Naruto, I can only support it."
Looking at the expression in Watergate's eyes, a smile gradually appeared on Sandaime's face.
Since he has handed over the position of Naruto to the young man in front of him, he should trust him.
Just like how the previous Naruto trusted him.
The old people's thinking may be a bit pedantic.
Therefore, he chose to believe in Watergate's own judgment.
"However, since you have decided to do this, you must be mentally prepared for the future …"
Sandaime looked at Watergate solemnly, once he announces that the new Anbu Captain is Uchiha Yan, it will inevitably be opposed by the other elders.
Although he has the ability to solve these things for Watergate, at this time the latter is Naruto.
Therefore, he must face it himself, he can't be the same as before.
"Of course."
Watergate smiled, but at the bottom of his blue eyes, there was a hint of gloominess.
Although today, he hasn't forgotten the information about Wood Leaf's reinforcements leaked during the Second Shinobi World War.
And today, Danzo's Root members secretly left the village while he was taking over as Naruto's successor.
Although he still doesn't know what those people did when they left the village, he doesn't intend to continue to tolerate it like Sandaime.
It's just that his wings aren't fully grown yet, so he can't make any big moves in a short time.
But sooner or later, he will solve these things.
"When there is news about the Anbu, I will inform you immediately." Sandaime said.
Watergate nodded and said, "I will go to the Uchiha Clan this afternoon to discuss this matter with Fugaku."
"Also, I have to confirm Uchiha Yan's thoughts."
"Uchiha Fugaku will definitely agree."
Sandaime chuckled, whether it is for the interests of the Uchiha Clan or Fugaku's own interests, he will agree to Uchiha Yan's appointment as the Anbu Captain.
Watergate nodded, the only thing he can't confirm now is Uchiha Yan's thoughts.
Because since a long time ago, that person has been his opponent.
With his arrogance, Sandaime doesn't know if he is willing to become Watergate's Anbu.
.....
After finishing the documents in his hand, Watergate returned home at noon.
"Welcome home."
Sensing Watergate's Chakra, Shinna Kushina looked back and smiled. At this time, he was preparing lunch.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Shinna Kushina continued, "How do you feel about your first day at work?"
"Well … it's okay," Watergate replied.
Later, Watergate and Shinna Kushina had lunch together. After a while, Watergate arrived at the Uchiha Clan's residence.
Watergate first went to see Fugaku and told him his thoughts.
Hearing this, Fugaku was shocked.
As the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, he naturally knew what Watergate's decision meant.
However, he was naturally happy to accept it.
In the Uchiha Clan, strength is respected, and Uchiha Yan, who has opened the Mangekyou Sharingan, is stronger than Fugaku, so now some people in the clan have begun to oppose Fugaku as the Patriarch.
Of course, Uchiha Yan himself has no interest in the Patriarch position, otherwise, Fugaku wouldn't have been able to become the Patriarch so smoothly.
Watergate made Uchiha Yan the new Anbu Captain, so that the voices in the clan will gradually decrease.
This is also what Watergate thought, and it can be regarded as selling Fugaku a favor.
After meeting Fugaku, Watergate slightly sensed and rushed to the corner of the Uchiha Clan.
According to common sense, as the Naruto, he should summon Fugaku and Uchiha Yan, but in order to let the other party feel his sincerity, Watergate must do so.
Seeing Watergate suddenly appear in front of him, Uchiha Yan was a little surprised.
He came back to his senses and said respectfully.
"Naruto -sama!"
