Shikamaru and the others often used the training ground located in the forest.
After Shikamaru left Aoyama's house, he came here to train with Dingji, Ino and the others. He really couldn't calm his heart down and could only move his body and relax his tense nerves.
"Shikamaru, is Aoyama's side settled? Should we go over and take a look? " Dingji threw out his shurikens and nailed them onto the tree trunk. He turned his head and looked at Shikamaru with a worried expression.
"It should be settled, didn't the dark clouds disappear just now?" Shikamaru scratched his head, and a bit of uneasiness could be seen in his eyes.
The change in the sky just now was so shocking that basically everyone noticed it. They also saw it very clearly from where they were. The clouds in the sky gathered and scattered, and when the wind blew, they were all forced to stop training.
"Ino, can you sense Aoyama?" Dingji looked towards Ino, it was rare for him to be quick-witted.
"Oh … Aoyama's Chakra can sense it, the location is … Eh? It's at Hokage's building, dad is also there, damn … "Ino had a bitter expression on his face as he nodded his head like a chick pecking rice. "I know, I know, I won't sense it carelessly anymore, we just want to know how Aoyama is doing …"
Ino lowered his head powerlessly and had a gloomy expression on his face. It has been a long time since dad reprimanded me so severely.
Shikamaru and Dingji both shut their mouths tightly. At this moment, Ino cannot be provoked, that is even more dangerous than touching a tiger's butt.
"Aoyama seems to be fine, she seems to be having a meeting with Hokage-sama. Dad is in charge of guarding, he taught me a lesson and told me not to check Hokage's building casually." Ino said gloomily.
"It's fine as long as Aoyama is fine." Shikamaru said softly.
In the meeting room.
There was a moment of silence, none of the people present were weak. They all sensed the unscrupulous perception ninjutsu, and they all closed their mouths in an instant. Among them, Yamanaka Masayoshi's expression changed the most. He could recognize that this was the unique perception ninjutsu of the Yamanaka clan. Except for Ino, no one would dare to do such a thing.
Hyuga Tenma directly opened his Byakugan and traced the source of the perception power. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he didn't say anything. Aoyama was also very surprised. Who is this, who is so bold to peep at the Hokage Building? Does he really think that the barrier here is made of paper … Although it is really made of paper.
"Hokage-Sama, it's been cleaned up. No one will perceive the situation here." The Anbu appeared next to Tsunade's chair.
"I got it. You may leave." She waved her hand and dismissed the Anbu. Then, she turned her head and looked at the elders. "Continue. My point is very simple. The existence of Roots is unreasonable. They are not under the control of the Anbu, but they also have the same authority as the Anbu, doing what the Anbu should do. This is a big mistake."
Yamanaka Masayoshi who had calmed down also had a distorted face. Is Tsunade joking? The Anbu and Roots do have the same authority in name, but the things they do are not the same. Roots specializes in dealing with the dirty work that the Three Generations couldn't do.
Turning her head and looking at the elders, each and every one of them had an expression as if they had eaten a pile of feces. Each and every one of them knew what Roots did, but they couldn't directly say it out loud. It was very uncomfortable to hold it in. Only Danzō had an indifferent expression. Aoyama didn't know anything, and Shihisa frowned in annoyance.
"The existence of Roots is still necessary …"
"I don't think it's necessary. The Anbu is the Anbu, and Roots is just a part of the Anbu. But, they are not under the control of the Anbu. This is unreasonable. What do you think? Lord Aoyama, you are the leader of Roots. "
Tsunade looked at Aoyama and interrupted that elder's words, causing that elder to be angry.
Shihisa who was at the side quietly sighed. He guessed that the reason why Tsunade agreed to Aoyama's succession was because of this matter. Danzō and Aoyama were not on the same level. Excluding strength, age, experience, achievements, and so on, Danzō had enough confidence to go against Tsunade, but if it was Aoyama, he didn't have that kind of confidence.
Mito Menitis and Koharu looked at each other. Is Roots going to be disbanded as soon as the leader is changed?
According to Mito Menitis's belief, Roots' existence was indeed against the rules. It was just that the Three Generations agreed to it, and Danzō was stubborn, so they were forced to agree to it. But later on, Roots dealt with the dark side of the village and took all the blame. Whether it was the Three Generations or the elders, they all tasted the sweetness.
Thus, Roots stubbornly survived, using the dark side of Kiba as food, and continued to grow until today.
"Tsunade, Roots' existence is inevitable. You are the Hokage, so you should know that there are some things that are inconvenient for you to do …"
"Koharu -sensei, I am asking for the opinion of Roots' leader, please wait a moment. And as the Hokage, no matter if it is light or dark, I will take responsibility." Tsunade firmly interrupted Koharu and stared at Aoyama.
"Humph!"
Koharu snorted unhappily, and just when he was about to flare up, he was stopped by Mito Menitis.
Aoyama took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at Tsunade. We have finally reached this step.
"Hokage-sama, I do not know much about Roots' past. After all, I have just assumed the position today, and I don't even know how many people there are in Roots. Whatever I say now is just empty words."
Beautiful!
Shihisa secretly praised. Aoyama's move is really beautiful, I can't see the sharpness of a youngster at all, and I feel that he is like an old fox that has been immersed in power struggle for many years. His reply to Tsunade without any smoke or fire seems very sincere, but in reality, it is just a bunch of nonsense.
The group of elders were all smart people, and all of them looked at Aoyama with astonishment. They originally thought that he was just a talented young man, but they didn't expect that he is also so talented in speaking. His words are not worse than theirs!
Tsunade slightly frowned. Before Aoyama finished his words, he opened his mouth again, "This has nothing to do with whether you know much about the past or not, I am only asking you if Roots belongs to the Anbu, there should be no objection to this, right?"
Looking at Aoyama who was about to speak, Tsunade made a gesture for him to be quiet, took a deep breath, and continued, "The ninjas in the village all have their own affiliations, the students of the ninja school, the ordinary ninjas, the Jonin class, the Kiba Hospital, the Kiba Garrison Force, the Border Defense Force, and the Anbu …"
Looking around, Tsunade said again, "I have looked at the financial allocation records over the years, and there is no money that was allocated to Roots. All the money was taken from the Anbu's account, so do you think that Roots should be under the Anbu's control?"
