When they heard Danzo say that he wanted Orochimaru and Chiba to join the Root completely, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Shui said "No" at the same time.

Because Chiba and Orochimaru are now among the most prestigious ninjas in Konoha, if they join the Root, the one who will be lost is Namikaze Minato.

After thinking about it, Namikaze Minato said, "Chiba can be the leader of the new department, but I want to set up a deputy leader, and the two of us will manage the new department together."

Danzo asked, "So who are you going to make the deputy leader?"

Namikaze Minato decisively said a name: "Uchiha Shisui!"

Hearing this name, not only Danzo frowned, but even Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

The new department is used to check and balance the Uchiha clan. How can we allow an Uchiha clan member to join?

Namikaze Minato explained: "Sandaime, Assistant Hokage, listen to me first. If Chiba joins the new department, then based on the power division of the new department, the Uchiha clan will be able to clearly see that the establishment of the new department is to restrict those targeting them.

We have just established a channel of trust with the Uchiha clan, and if we suddenly set up a department specifically targeting them, then this channel of trust that has just been established will collapse in an instant.

The Uchiha clan cannot be fully trusted now, but that does not mean they cannot be trusted in the future. If the Uchiha clan is really seeking change, then this new department will destroy that change.

Since Qianyu has become the leader, there must be someone to appease the Uchiha clan and give them a sense of security.

And this person, Shisui, who is a member of the Uchiha clan, a member of the Hokage's guard, and who has transcended clanism, is the perfect choice."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, that does make sense. Since Chiba is going to be the leader of the new department, then the Uchiha clan must be given enough sense of security. It is indeed appropriate to let Shisui take the position of deputy leader."

Danzo thought about it and now it seems that if Chiba is to become the leader of the new department, Uchiha Shisui must be the deputy leader.

However, in Danzo's opinion, it would be easy for Chiba to suppress Uchiha Shisui.

If that's the case...

Danzo nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."

Namikaze Minato nodded and said: "Then the name of the new department will be Konoha Defense Force. Its duties will be to formulate regulations for the village and arrest ninjas with criminal tendencies. The first batch of ninjas to join will include some from the Root and some from the Anbu, and then some more ninjas will be recruited.

The leader of the Konoha Defense Force is Chiba, and the deputy leader is Uchiha Shisui, and the two of them manage it together.

Sandaime, Assistant Hokage, do you have anything else to add?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "Then let's do it this way."

Danzo also agreed and said, "Okay, this matter must be done as soon as possible. I will arrange for the Root Ninja to join the Konoha Defense Force now. Fourth Hokage, please arrange it quickly as well."

After saying this, Danzo stood up and left the Hokage's office.

After Danzo left, Namikaze Minato sighed, "This assistant Hokage is really hostile to the Uchiha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said helplessly: "Yes, it can be said that the person who is most hostile to the Uchiha clan in the entire Konoha is Danzo, but when it comes to the issue of the Uchiha clan, Danzo also considers it completely from the perspective of Konoha.

After all, we have learned from the previous experience. What the Uchiha clan did in Konoha before was really too excessive, which forced Danzo and I to target the Uchiha clan in an extreme way.

What Danzo said is actually true. We do need to make some preparations to restrain the Uchiha clan in case of any emergency.

Minato, I'll have to trouble you with Konoha's defense department from now on."

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "It's okay. As long as it's good for Konoha, then everything is worth it. But it seems that I have to go to the Uchiha clan's land."

After Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi discussed the details of Konoha's defense department, Hiruzen Sarutobi left.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen left, Namikaze Minato summoned Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui knelt on one knee in front of Namikaze Minato: "Hokage-sama!"

Namikaze Minato said to Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui, please sit down. I want to talk to you about something."

Uchiha Shisui sat down in his seat.

Namikaze Minato narrated: "Shisui, after a three-party discussion between me, the Sandaime, and the Hokage, it was decided to establish a new department in Konoha. This new department is called the 'Konoha Defense Force', and the Konoha Defense Force's authority is to be responsible for formulating regulations in the village and arresting ninjas with criminal tendencies."

Uchiha Shisui was surprised and said, "Doesn't this authority conflict with some of the authority of the Konoha Guard Force?"

Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "That's right, so the two powers of the Konoha Guard Force will be cancelled."

Uchiha Shisui was a little confused.

I don't understand why Minato Namikaze wanted to set up this new department, nor do I understand why he should be told about this.

Shouldn't I talk to Uchiha Fugaku about this?

Namikaze Minato sighed and said, "Shisui, the Konoha Guard has too much power in Konoha. The Uchiha clan used to abuse this power, making the people of Konoha hostile to the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Shisui pursed his lips. It was indeed as Namikaze Minato said, the previous Uchiha clan had abused the power of the Konoha Guard Force too much.

Many people were identified as people with criminal tendencies by the Uchiha clan and were directly imprisoned for a few days just because they said something bad about the Uchiha clan behind their back.

Uchiha Shisui said: "I can understand you, Hokage-sama."

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "I'm glad you understand. The leader of the Konoha Defense Force will be Chiba."

Uchiha Shisui suddenly looked at Namikaze Minato with an expression of disbelief.

Chiba was made the leader of the newly formed Konoha Defense Force, with the responsibility of enacting village rules and arresting ninjas with criminal tendencies.

No matter how you look at it, this seems to be targeting Uchiha!

If Danzo is the biggest anti-fan leader of the Uchiha clan, then Chiba is definitely the second.

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I'm targeting the Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Shisui came back to his senses and lowered his head and replied: "I didn't think so, Hokage-sama."

Namikaze Shui said helplessly: "In fact, it is normal for you to think so. The original intention of establishing this new department is to restrain the Uchiha clan. After all, the Uchiha clan's past is there, so this new department was established.

However, this new department is not aimed at the Uchiha clan. As long as your clan members behave themselves, nothing will happen. After all, in addition to joining the Root ninjas, I will also arrange for Anbu ninjas to join the new department, and I will not allow the Root and Chiba to do whatever they want.

The most important thing is...Shisui, I have recommended you to be the deputy leader of the new department."

Uchiha Shisui suddenly raised his head and stared at Namikaze Minato blankly.
