One day later.
"These are the candidates I have selected for the new Anbu, but I still have to hand them over to you for review."
In Naruto's office, Watergate handed over a stack of forms to Uchiha Yan.
Although he is Naruto, he can directly issue orders to Uchiha Yan and these selected ninjas.
But after all, these newly selected Anbu will work under Uchiha Yan in the future.
Therefore, the latter also has the right to review, and this is how Watergate handles things as Naruto.
In his view, Naruto is not the person who sits at the top and decides everything, but the person who gathers the will of all the people in the village and finally makes the right decision.
Uchiha Yan took the form and glanced at it, after pondering for a while, he looked at Watergate and said, "For these people, I want to take turns to observe them, it shouldn't take too long, three days should be enough."
"Good."
Watergate said, although he is very eager to use this strength, he would rather delay some time to ensure the quality of these selected Anbu members.
In this respect, Uchiha Yan and Watergate's style is the same.
After saying that, Uchiha Yan turned around and was about to leave the office. Just as he opened the door, there were three people outside the door, and they seemed to be together.
The three elders of Wood Leaf, Homura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Homura Mitokado.
The four looked at each other, and the three advisors looked at Uchiha Yan with gloomy eyes.
With Uchiha Yan's eyesight, he naturally saw it, but he didn't care, and looked back at Watergate with a slightly worried look.
Obviously, these three already know that Watergate selected him as the Anbu Captain, and they are here to hold him accountable.
"You finish the things in your hands," Watergate said calmly.
Uchiha Yan nodded, and then his figure suddenly disappeared in front of the three.
The three elders seemed to want to stop Uchiha Yan, but the latter also knew this and didn't give them the opportunity.
Although Uchiha Yan's speed is not as fast as Watergate's, he can be ranked among the top in the entire ninja world.
Although these three elders are not weak ninjas, they can't stop Uchiha Yan for a while.
Then, they turned their gazes towards the Water Gate.
"Yondaime-sama, you are messing around!"
Danzo was the first to speak, and said with a solemn voice, "You actually let the Uchiha Clan be the new Anbu Captain …"
Hearing this, Minato calmly replied, "So what?"
"You should know the relationship between the village and the Uchiha!"
Koharu also frowned. She didn't believe that Minato didn't know about this special relationship.
"Village and the Uchiha?"
Watergate asked, "The Uchiha Clan and its members are also part of the Wood Leaf Village, why should we distinguish them?"
"Well, as Naruto, you don't even understand these things."
Danzo coldly snorted. He even dared to question the orders of the Sandaime Naruto, so naturally, he didn't have much respect for Watergate, who just took office as the Fourth Naruto.
"I really don't understand. Why do the elders want to exclude the Uchiha Clan? They are Konoha's ninjas, just like us." Minato said.
"Since you don't understand, then I will teach you today!"
Danzo said, "The Uchiha Clan, starting from Uchiha Madara, didn't agree with the rule of the First Naruto Senju Hashirama-Sama. For this reason, Madara betrayed the Wood Leaf Village and attacked the village."
"In the hearts of the Uchiha Clan, they have always wanted to regain control of the village. The Second Naruto was aware of this, so he established a police force and put the Uchiha Clan in charge of it."
"You are the Hokage, but you don't even realize these problems. Sarutobi's election of you as the fourth Hokage is simply nonsense …"
"As Naruto, you are dealing with your own private affairs during the Naruto Ceremony …"
"Everything you've done is simply nonsense!"
Danzo was dissatisfied with Watergate's appointment as the Fourth Naruto, so he took this opportunity to demote the latter even more.
Although Watergate is Naruto, if most of the people in the village have doubts about him, then he may not be able to hold the position of Naruto.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado also looked at Danzo with some surprise. Danzo's words were too direct.
But thinking about it, what Danzo said was indeed true.
As a ninja, Watergate led the village to the final victory in the Third Shinobi World War and made great achievements.
But as the Naruto, what Watergate did in just two days was indeed too much.
"First of all, I did not handle my personal affairs properly. Here, I would like to express my apologies to the three consultants."
Watergate said respectfully, "But … I don't think my approach has brought any loss to the village."
"As for letting Uchiha Homura be the Captain of the newly established Anbu department, I don't think there is any problem."
"Because what the elder said before is the history of the village, and it does not apply to the current situation of the village."
The three advisors in front of him all grew up in the early days of Wood Leaf, and they have seen with their own eyes what happened at that time, so it's understandable that they have such a stubborn idea.
But that doesn't mean that they are right.
"Before becoming Naruto, what I saw was that the Uchiha Clan's Patriarch fought in the previous war as a ninja of Wood Leaf, and on the monument commemorating the heroes who died in the war, there was the name of the Uchiha Clan!"
Speaking of this, Watergate's mood couldn't help but fluctuate a little. Although he ended the war with his own hands, if he could, he would like to see no more battles in the ninja world.
That was because the so-called winner was nothing more than a title.
Whether it is the winner or the loser, what comes with it is the death of a large number of civilians and ninjas.
"And even in history, if there was no alliance between the Uchiha Clan and Senju Senju, there would be no Wood Leaf Ninja Village."
Hearing this, Mitokado Homura and Koharu Koharu were silent. They didn't directly agree with Minato's point of view, but they couldn't refute it.
Danzo on the side frowned, he pondered for a moment, then stared at Watergate and said, "The policy against the Uchiha Clan was set by Naruto, are you questioning the decision of your ancestors?"
As soon as his voice fell, a faint smile appeared on Watergate's face, and his blue eyes stared at Danzo and said.
"Danzo san, are you a little confused? Of course, Naruto's decision was the most suitable method for the situation of the village at that time."
"But what Naruto saw was the former Uchiha Clan …"
"And in the eyes of the 4th Naruto, it is the current Uchiha Clan!"
