Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

"There is also the issue of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The village suffered heavy losses in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and the villagers have many complaints about the care of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. If the Jinchuriki makes any more mistakes, I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of the Hokage."

Mito Kado En adjusted his black-framed glasses and spoke to Kato Makoto with a serious expression.

Whether it was Sand Village or Cloud Village, every time the tailed beasts caused unrest, they caused huge damage to the village.

The villagers of these two villages also have the worst attitude towards the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki. Throwing rotten vegetable leaves and eggs at them and scolding them in person are considered mild. Throwing bricks and poisoning them is the norm.

Since Konoha had not suffered any personal pain, it had been relatively tolerant of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the past, and Uzumaki Kushina had not suffered much discrimination.

But after experiencing the Nine-Tails Rebellion, it is foreseeable that it will be difficult for Uzumaki Naruto to have the same gentle growing environment as his mother.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

Kato Makoto did not answer directly, but looked at Shimura Danzo who was drinking tea on the side.

"You are the Hokage now, just make your own decision, and don't listen to the nagging of us old guys."

From the question raised by the daimyo just now, Shinobu Yami realized that his apprentice knew what was going on and there was no need for him to interfere too much.

Instead, it seemed that Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu were taking advantage of his presence to bully Kato Makoto and force him to listen to the opinions of the elders.

So, with just one word, he helped his disciples to block the two old guys.

"Elder Xiaochun, what do you think?"

"Well... if the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki loses control, it will indeed be a big problem. However, Uzumaki Naruto is still Minato's son, and the Godaime's godson.

Minato sacrificed himself for the village, and Makoto is the fifth Hokage. It is indeed a loss of face for Konoha to let Naruto spend his days in prison like the Jinchūriki from other countries. "

Kato Makoto asked two questions in a row but did not express his opinion, which clearly showed that he disagreed with what Mito Kado En said.

With Danzo taking sides, Utane Koharu knew that she and Mitomon En could not win over this master and disciple couple, so they could only say the opposite of what En meant.

"Elder Koharu has truly mastered the true teachings of the Will of Fire, and his words are insightful. Konoha has come this far by relying on the self-sacrifice of generations, lighting the way for the young ones, rather than pushing others to burn and lighting themselves."

Kato Makoto heard the answer he wanted, stood up and praised loudly,

"However, the villagers' concerns cannot be ignored. I think we should let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki live in Kato's house, and I will guard it myself. What do you think of this proposal, Elder Yan?"

"Since the Godaime is going to guard the Jinchuriki himself, I-I think the villagers will understand."

After hearing what Utane Koharu said, Mizuto Menen knew that he had dug a hole for himself.

He now misses the days when the Sandaime was in power. Compared with Kato Makoto's oppressive ruling style, Sarutobi Hiruzen is truly a breath of fresh air.

"Then please explain it clearly to the villagers, Elder Yan."

After seeing off the three elders who were responsible for the restoration and reconstruction of Konoha, Kato Makoto asked Terai to call in several younger brothers who were guarding the door of the Hokage's office.

Yamanaka Ken, Nara Suzaku, and Terai, except for Baiyun who was far away in the Rain Country and could not attend the meeting in the morning, there were a total of three people who came to the Hokage's office.

These are the core team that he uses to rule Konoha.

"You've been waiting for a long time. Please sit down."

Makoto Kato asked the Root Corps members to bring four chairs, put them in the office, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Today is a happy day. You can let me stand all day without getting tired."

Yamanaka Ken smiled happily, sat on the chair, and touched the armrests again and again.

He never dreamed that there would be a day when he would have a special seat in the Hokage's office.

This is a treatment that even the Nara clan leader doesn't have.

"You are one of the ministers of Konoha after all. Why do you look so ignorant? Aren't you ashamed?"

Kato Makoto cursed with a smile.

"This seat is different. The seat in the Hokage's office is something I couldn't even dream of when I was in the ninja school. Besides, Suzaku and Terai are not much better than me."

Yamanaka Ken glanced at the two people beside him. When Terai heard his words, his whole body tensed up instantly and he immediately sat up straight, but he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

Suzaku moved his buttocks as if he was looking for the most comfortable sitting position. After coughing, he stood up seriously and handed a document in his hand to Kato Makoto.

"Hokage-sama, this is the information I collected about the various departments of Konoha."

Nara Suzaku has been quietly counting the resources that Kato Makoto can mobilize behind the scenes, in preparation for Kato Makoto to completely take over Konoha.

This is the advantage of having your own team. When dealing with emergencies, there is always someone to give you advice and suggestions.

Kato Makoto's attention was mainly focused on the intelligence of the person in charge of the combat unit.

The core of the ninja world is the ninja. By controlling the ninjas who can fight, you can control the situation.

If he wanted to secure his position as Hokage, he needed to bring all the combat units under his command.

This time the incident happened suddenly, and the most capable fighters were not in Konoha. He needed to determine these people's attitudes towards him, the new Hokage, as soon as possible.

In addition to the Root, there is the Anbu's Shinnosuke Sarutobi, the River Country garrison commander Aburame Shihui, the Grass Country commander Mimura Hamagaki and military advisor Nara Shikaku, the Field Country's Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza, plus the Chief of the Security Department Uchiha Fugaku.

"Suzaku, pass my order to all the garrisons in various countries. The ninja army is on combat readiness. Any force that dares to provoke Konoha will be directly wiped out.

In addition, you will move the secretariat to the Hokage Building and deliver documents to my office as usual."

If these commanders were sensible, they would write a letter expressing their loyalty as soon as they received his order, otherwise they would have to return to Konoha to report on their work.

They are all Konoha's elites, it would be a shame if they could not be used.

After receiving the order, Nara Suzaku took out paper and pen from the scroll, worked on the spot, wrote the document, handed it to Kato Makoto for signature and seal, and then forwarded it to the Root members and sent it to the major garrison bases.

He was born into the Nara clan and had close relations with the patriarchs of the Ino, Shika and Chou clans. Dealing with the matter in front of Kato Makoto was the best way to avoid suspicion.

"Terai, take my warrant and take over the Anbu. You can draw any personnel from the Root as you like. I want you to make the Anbu as obedient as the Root within three days."

Kato Makoto pulled out a piece of paper from his desk, wrote a few orders on it, stamped it with the Hokage seal, and handed it to Terai.

Minato had just died, and the head of the Anbu, who was directly under the Hokage, left the village without the order of the current Hokage.

He would never let such a person stay in the Anbu again no matter what.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke has already thought about his destination, which is to open up new markets in the Land of Hot Springs and continue to shine for Konoha.

"Yes!"

Terai hurried forward to take the order and left the office excitedly.

He helped Kato Makoto manage the Root, but Kato Makoto was always the chief of the Root. This time he was transferred to the Anbu as chief, and was finally on the same level as Yamanaka Ken and others.

"Jian, you step down from your position as Minister of Foreign Affairs and go sit in the mission assembly hall."

In addition to conventional combat forces, Konoha's mission system has an even larger number of ninjas.

Many relatively ordinary middle and lower ninjas rely on missions to survive, and controlling the mission gathering place is very important for maintaining Konoha's stability.

"I knew you wouldn't forget me!"

Ken Yamanaka has had enough of working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, socializing all day long. Is this what a ninja should do?

The department in charge of ninja combat is better, it’s passionate enough.

Although the mission assembly hall does not sound as impressive as the Ninja Army Command and the Anbu, it is still part of the combat sequence.

Several of the younger brothers received their tasks and went to work excitedly, so Kato Makoto had time to relax.

If all goes well, the four combat departments, Root, Anbu, foreign garrison and mission assembly center, will be under his control, and the remaining sealing team, analysis team and the like can be taken care of slowly.

He stood up and was about to take a cup of tea to moisten his throat when, with a bang, the door of the Hokage's office was kicked open and Tsunade walked in hurriedly, grabbed Kato Makoto's hand and walked out.

"Go check on Kusuna, her condition is very unstable."
