Naruto: Starting from the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines

Danzo's big hat was put on him, forcing Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi to reconsider Danzo's proposal.

After all, the Uchiha clan cannot be fully trusted.

It's only because the Uchiha clan has begun to change, and Konoha now needs gentle development, that Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen plan to give the Uchiha clan a chance.

But no one can guarantee that the Uchiha clan will really change. It is just a possibility now.

If this possibility is gone, and the Uchiha clan becomes arrogant and domineering again and becomes the cancer of Konoha, they will indeed become the sinners of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is retired now, so this crime cannot be blamed on him.

But this crime will most likely fall on Minato Namikaze's head, because he did not take any measures against the Uchiha clan, which led to all this happening.

And given Danzo's personality, when the time comes, they will definitely publicize the matter in order to remove him from the position of Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Minato Namikaze beside him, and seeing the heavy expression on his face, he guessed that he was thinking the same thing as he was.

Opportunities can be given, but no preparation can be made.

From this perspective, Danzo's proposal seems feasible.

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to Namikaze Minato and said, "Minato, how about considering a new department?"

Namikaze Minato thought for a while and then asked, "If a new department is established, who will recruit the ninjas for the new department?"

Danzo replied: "Right now we are very short of ninjas in all departments of Konoha, so I will send some Root ninjas to serve in the new departments first, and then guide the newly joined ninjas to enforce the law."

Namikaze Minato looked at Danzo deeply, and then said: "The new department can be established, but not only Root ninjas, but also Anbu ninjas must join in."

Danzo had long guessed that Namikaze Minato would never agree to having only Root ninjas in the new department.

Since all the people in it are Root ninjas, the new department becomes a subsidiary department of the Root.

Danzo also knew that he couldn't change this matter, so he said: "You are the Hokage, this matter is naturally for you to decide."

After seeing that Danzo and Namikaze Minato had reached a consensus, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "So, do you have a candidate for the leader of this new department?"

Danzo immediately said, "I propose that Chiba be the leader of the new department!"

When they heard Danzo propose Chiba, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato frowned.

It’s not that Qianyu is not qualified, but this department itself is used to check and balance the Uchiha clan.

Chiba, who desperately targeted the Uchiha clan during the war, becomes the leader of the new department. The Uchiha ninjas will immediately realize that this new department is specifically designed to target the Uchiha clan.

Namikaze Minato said in a deep voice: "Chiyu is not suitable. He targeted the Uchiha clan so much before. When he becomes the leader, the Uchiha people are not fools!"

Danzo folded his arms across his chest, leaned back in his chair, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato, and sneered: "Ask yourselves about this war, is Orochimaru's contribution great? Is Chiba's contribution great?

After the war, it was my Root that took out money and gave it to Orochimaru and Chiba as a reward to commend their contributions to the war.

What about you? Do you give them any awards? Any substantial rewards besides verbal praise?

Orochimaru, who was Chiba's master, lost the election due to some force majeure reasons, and now you are not willing to let Chiba be the leader of a new department.

Is it appropriate that the leader of the new department must be someone who listens to you obediently?

Having said that, Qianyu is quite obedient. He completed all the tasks assigned to him perfectly without any complaints. Don’t you trust him?

Is it because Chiba is a ninja from the Root? If that's the case, why don't you just let me, the Hokage, assist you and replace the leader of the Root, which will suit your wishes!"

Namikaze Minato said awkwardly: "I didn't mean that."

Minato Namikaze knew that his coming as Hokage was not in a very legitimate way.

In terms of achievements and resume, he is no match for Orochimaru.

Once upon a time, Minato Namikaze also thought that the next Hokage would be Orochimaru.

After all, Orochimaru's resume and achievements are really impressive.

Even compared to Chiba, Minato Namikaze is no match.

It was Sarutobi Hiruzen who forced him to the position of Hokage against all odds.

In fact, he was not going against the majority opinion, he was just going against Danzo's opinion.

So after becoming the Hokage, Namikaze Minato did not dare to slack off and has been working diligently in the office.

Now that Danzo was so outspoken, Minato Namikaze could only say awkwardly that he didn't mean that.

Sarutobi Hiruzen scolded, "Danzo, don't talk nonsense. Everything Minato did was for Konoha. It's not that we don't want to reward Chiba. It's just that Konoha is short of money recently and doesn't have that much money as a reward. When Konoha becomes more well-off, Minato will naturally reward Chiba."

Danzo snorted coldly, "Isn't it because of you that Konoha is in financial difficulty? Sandaime Hokage, you are such a kind person. You chose to benefit those ninjas from other villages who invaded our Konoha, and those ninjas who fought for Konoha at the cost of their lives. How generous of you.

Do you really intend to do this to Orochimaru and Chiba, the master and apprentice? If you don't trust them so much, then just let them become my Root Ninjas.

Since you despise them so much, let my roots reuse them."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato said in unison: "No!"

Although Orochimaru and Chiba are Root ninjas on the surface, they are actually only in name only.

Because the tasks being carried out are still the tasks they issued.

If they completely joined the Root, then Orochimaru and Chiba would only follow Danzo's orders, not theirs.

How could such two powerful ninjas join the Root?

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to understand Danzo's purpose.

The establishment of this new department is Danzo's main purpose. If the establishment of the new department fails or the leader of the new department is not Chiba, then Danzo's purpose will turn to Chiba and Orochimaru.

He wants Chiba and Orochimaru to work for Danzo.

The strength of Chiba and Orochimaru is obvious to everyone. If they completely join the Root, it will be a huge loss for Minato Namikaze.

Orochimaru is already disappointed. If Chiba is not allowed to become the leader of the new department this time, Chiba may be disappointed in them.

However, it is indeed not appropriate to let Chiba be the leader of a new department that is used to check and balance the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato were in a dilemma.
