"The current Uchiha?"
A mocking smile gradually appeared on Danzo's face as he stared at Watergate and said in a deep voice, "You haven't experienced that era, so you can't understand the ambition of that clan …"
"In any case, the elders will never agree to let Uchiha Homura take the position of Captain of the new Anbu!"
Danzo was putting pressure on Watergate because the latter has just become Naruto.
In fact, in the eyes of these elders, the real power of the Wood Leaf clan is still Sandaime.
Watergate … is just a puppet he chose to retreat behind the scenes.
"Is this a joint decision of the three elders?"
Watergate's face gradually became gloomy as his blue eyes stared at the three elders in front of him.
Koharu and Homura saw this and choked for a moment.
From their eyes, it can be seen that they still support Danzo's statement, but at the same time, they don't dare to completely offend Watergate.
Putting aside the position of Naruto Watergate, his strength is the strongest in the ninja world today.
They are afraid that the former is young and arrogant, and if they suppress him too much, it will cause a backlash from Watergate.
Although there is no danger to their lives, there is no guarantee that Watergate won't give them a taste of bitterness.
Although Watergate doesn't have much power in his hands right now, his strength alone is enough to make anyone not dare to underestimate him.
Watergate, who noticed this, said: "Whether this is a joint decision of the three elders or not, I am still the Fourth Naruto, so … if you doubt me, just report it to the Daimyo."
He knows that his approach will make the elders even more dissatisfied with him, but this is the price he has to pay to change the status quo of the village.
If he gives in to the three elders today, then in the future, his decisions as Naruto will be questioned a lot.
Moreover, Watergate has already shown his attitude to Fugaku and Uchiha Homura, if he retreats here, it will only make the Uchiha Clan more hostile to the village.
If that happens, his efforts will be in vain.
Danzo and the other two obviously didn't expect that Watergate, who has just been appointed as Naruto, would be so tough.
While their eyes flashed, Watergate said again: "I know that it is difficult for the elders to understand my decision now, but please believe me, I have my own considerations."
"Although the Anbu Captain is an Uchiha, in the end, I am still in charge."
"I will definitely do what I should do."
"Anyone who wants to harm the village, I won't let them!" Watergate's voice softened a lot, but the determination in his eyes.
The eyes of the upper echelons who were previously intimidated by Minato's attitude also flickered when they heard this.
"Yondaime-sama, I hope you will remember your words!"
After pondering for a while, Koharu and Homura still couldn't change their minds, but they also knew that it was impossible to change Watergate's decision.
"We will still fulfill our duties, you should be able to understand!"
Homura said again. His meaning was obvious, that is, he was worried about Uchiha Homura, so he will use his own power to take some measures.
"I know."
Minato said. In fact, the attitude of these two people had already surprised him a little.
"Goodbye."
With that said, Koharu and Homura also said goodbye to Watergate and then walked out of Naruto's office.
Danzo was naturally firmly opposed to Watergate's decision.
However, it was impossible for him to change the decision of Watergate as Naruto by himself.
"I will ask Sarutobi about it." Danzo glanced at Watergate and turned away.
"Danzo san, I hope you can control yourself and the people under your command, and don't do anything out of line …"
Watergate's voice slowly sounded behind Danzo.
Hearing this, Danzo's footsteps stopped for a while, and at this moment, his eyes kept flashing.
After a few breaths, he replied: "Everything I do is for the village!"
After that, he closed the door of Naruto's office.
Watergate stood in the same place, and his eyes fluctuated.
After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Politics …"
He whispered. As a ninja, Watergate is strong enough, but when it comes to dealing with the complicated relationship of Wood Leaf, Watergate admitted that he was lacking.
This is politics, no matter how talented a person is, it doesn't mean that they can handle it perfectly.
Even before his rebirth, he has been Naruto for more than a year.
With a long sigh of relief, Watergate returned to his seat and began to deal with the documents on the table.
...
Three days later.
Wood Leaf Seventh Training Ground.
Dozens of ninjas in Anbu uniforms gathered here, and Captain Uchiha Yan was standing in front of the crowd with a solemn face.
Everyone's expression was the same. While they were waiting, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them without any warning.
The first to react was Uchiha Yan, and he immediately bowed in front of Watergate and respectfully said: "Naruto -sama!"
"Naruto -sama!"
The new members of the Dark Group who had just regained their senses did the same thing as him.
Seeing Uchiha Yan like this, Watergate couldn't help but feel a little bit of shock.
He knew what kind of temperament Uchiha Yan had.
But he has become the Anbu Captain directly under Watergate, and between superiors and subordinates, such etiquette is not the most important, but it can't be omitted.
What's more, this is a newly formed Anbu.
"In fact, I believe that Anbu has already explained to everyone before."
Watergate said, Anbu is Uchiha Yan's code name in the Anbu.
"What I want to tell you today is only one sentence …"
"That is, whether it is in the Anbu or other positions, even if I am Naruto, our identity is the same, that is, we are Wood Leaf's ninja."
"So, there is only one thing we have to do, and that is to protect the village and the companions around us!"
"Yes!"
As the voice fell, the dozens of Anbu in front of Watergate responded in unison.
After dealing with the new Anbu department, Watergate returned to Naruto's office.
He continued to deal with the documents at hand until the evening, when Sandaime Naruto came again.
Sandaime wasn't the only one who came to see Watergate, in addition to him, Sho Sho also came.
Looking at the two in front of him, Watergate immediately asked.
"Is there any progress in the Country of Rain?"
