Sarutobi Hiruzen left Danzo's office and returned to the site where the Anbu ninja and the Root ninja were facing off.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Danzo, "Then hand over the armor, Danzo."

Danzo reluctantly winked at a Root ninja.

The Root ninja quickly brought Kabuto out.

Danzo said to Kabuto with some heartache: "From today on, you are no longer a Root Ninja."

A had no expression and looked indifferent: "Yes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Kabuto, "From now on, you are a member of the Anbu directly under the Hokage. Follow me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen left the Root base with Kabuto and all the ANBU.

Kakashi wanted to leave, but Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped him: "Kakashi, come to my office and talk. I have something to tell you."

Kakashi frowned slightly, but still answered, "Yes."

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his seat, Kakashi and Kai stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Kabuto, "From now on, you are a member of the Anbu. Do you have a name?"

"No."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said: "In that case, I will give you a name, let's call you Yamato. Do you like this name?"

Jia looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with some confusion.

Do you like it?

A couldn't understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's words 'Do you like it?'

He had been in the Root since he was a child, and the instructions he received were clear and no one would ask for his opinion.

So Jia didn't know how to answer Sarutobi Hiruzen for a moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knew about Danzo's training of self-destruction.

As for Jia, he has lived in the Root since he was a child, and he does not need any training to destroy himself in order to become what Danzo wants him to be.

A ninja who only knows how to follow orders.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said kindly: "All you need to know is that your name will be Yamato from now on."

Now Yamato was able to answer, saying 'yes'.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "From today on, you are a ninja of the Anbu. Someone will take you on missions, and your code name in the Anbu is 'Tenzo'."

Yamato doesn't feel anything now.

In Yamato's view, he has simply changed from serving Danzo to serving Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Okay, you can leave now. There will be an ANBU at the door to take you to the base."

Yamato left the office.

Looking at Yamato's leaving back, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very satisfied.

Although Yamato has no emotions now, he is just a tool that only knows how to carry out tasks.

But once Yamato develops feelings, he will be loyal to him and Konoha.

A ninja with Wood Release Bloodline Limit would be a great help to him.

Kakashi watched the scene in silence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kakashi: "Kakashi, I also hope that you can join the Anbu."

Kakashi's eyes narrowed and he flatly refused: "I'm sorry, Hokage, I have no intention of joining the Anbu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to refuse. I, Chiyu, have educated you and treat you like my own child. I think you also know that Chiyu and us are now at odds with each other.

But Kakashi, I hope you remember that you are a ninja of Konoha, you inherited the will of fire, and you are loyal to the entire Konoha, not to Chiba alone.

Your father is the successor to the Will of Fire. He devoted his life to Konoha. His death has always been my regret. So as the son of Konoha White Fang, Kakashi, you should inherit your father's will and continue to defend Konoha.

You are a very talented ninja, I hope you can walk on the right path and not go against Konoha."

Kakashi lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly together.

Kakashi was extremely angry now.

This guy Sarutobi Hiruzen actually has the nerve to mention his father.

Kakashi asked in a deep voice: "Hokage-sama, how did my father die?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said regretfully: "Kakashi, I know you have always been upset about Sakumo's death. This is also a regret in my heart. At that time, the ninja world was very chaotic, and I had to consider the overall situation, so I ignored Sakumo's matter. When I wanted to deal with this matter... Alas, it was too late."

Kakashi's right eye was like a pool of stagnant water as he stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He really was treated as a fool and fooled him.

Who was it that dismissed his father, Hatake Sakumo, from all his positions? Wasn't it the top leaders of Konoha?

Did he forget about his father? Did he not forget about it when he was dismissed from office?

Kakashi now understood that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to incite him to betray Chiha and work for him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Kakashi: "Because I have always felt guilty towards Sakumo, I have been paying attention to you silently. I am really pleased to see you grow up. Kakashi, you are very much like Sakumo.

But... I had always thought that Chiba would be a very good master for you, but now it seems that he is no longer the case. Kakashi, I don't want you to go astray. You are the next generation that I am very optimistic about. You have strength, courage, insight, and ability. I want to train you as my successor."

Kakashi asked in confusion: "Thank you for your appreciation, Hokage-sama, but Hokage-sama said that Senba-sensei is not a good master, why is that?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed the evidence of Chiba's guilt obtained from Danzo in front of Kakashi.

"Kakashi, take a look."

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Kakashi to participate in this mission today and let Kakashi see his arrangements for Yamato was to prepare for Kakashi's rebellion.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to let Kakashi know that he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, valued talents.

Originally, today would have ended after we arranged for Yamato.

But now he accidentally obtained the evidence of Chiba's crimes collected by Danzo, so Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to see Kakashi's reaction.

If Kakashi didn't know about the things that Chiba had done, then there was a possibility that Kakashi had been turned against the government.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were always on Kakashi's face. Although half of Kakashi's face was covered by a mask, Sarutobi Hiruzen was so shrewd that he could tell just by looking at Kakashi's right eye.

Kakashi picked up Chiba's evidence and began to look through it.

When Kakashi saw the evidence of Chiba's crimes recorded in it, the pupil of his right eye shrank suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe in silence. At the moment, it seemed that Kakashi didn't know what Chiba had done.

Then, there is a possibility that Kakashi could be turned against the government.

However, it is too early to draw conclusions and we must continue to observe.
