"They did nothing wrong."

Watanabe knew very well that from the moment Genbu was disbanded because of him, he was destined to stand on the opposite side of Danzo, and he was too lazy to beat around the bush with him. He told the truth: "The reason why I drove them away was all because of him.

Because they don’t agree with ANBU’s philosophy.”

Danzo stared at him silently.

"Anbu is the most important department in Konoha, and its members must all be righteous and kind-hearted people. Those who are like rats in the gutter, villains who take action on innocent civilian orphans, and traitors who form cliques to commit private crimes must not be allowed to stay.

In ANBU."

Watanabe mercilessly belittled the root members. Kitahara Castle and others gritted their teeth and nearly exploded with anger. They had never felt such humiliation.

"Senior Danzo, you must discipline your subordinates well. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. With such a group of subordinates, it is difficult for people to misunderstand that you are the same."

When he said these words, Watanabe's tone was very candid and calm, but when it fell into the ears of others, it made everyone feel incredible.

"I was worried just now that Watanabe couldn't bear Danzo's anger. Now it seems that I should be worried that Danzo can't bear his anger..."

Sarutobi Shiraishi's face was full of complexity. At this moment, he was willing to call Watanabe minister from the bottom of his heart, and he also understood his father's profound intention of appointing him.

Bei Liuhu felt that Watanabe was a bit strange.

When he and Watanabe were in the ninja team, his impression of Watanabe was that he was very cheerful and easy-going, as if anyone could become friends with him.

However, at this moment, Watanabe was strong and domineering. Not only did he cut through the mess quickly and eliminate dissenters, he even dared to ridicule Danzo Shimura, one of the core leaders of Konoha.

"Is this the difference between me and Watanabe?"

Bei Liuhu vaguely understood that he was inferior to Watanabe, so it was no wonder that Teacher Zhili would prefer him.

"What do you mean! How dare you talk to Danzo-sama like this!"

Beihara Castle and others, who were already suffering humiliation, couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily after hearing these explicit sarcastic remarks.

"I just said it, no matter what." Watanabe disagreed.

He has no good impression of Danzo at all. The fact that Danzo can train these subordinates shows what kind of character he is.

Maybe there are many people in Konoha who fear Danzo, but there is definitely no Watanabe among those people. Even if Danzo wants to attack him for Kitahara Castle and others, Watanabe will not mind being criticized for being disrespectful to his seniors, and he will also agree with him.

After two moves, see if he can block his Eight Gate Dunjia.

"You are Danzo-senpai's subordinates, but I am not. What I am doing now is all for the sake of Konoha. If Danzo-senpai is a smart person, he must be able to understand me." Watanabe continued.

Danzo was silent.

It is impossible for him not to be smart, but it is even less possible for him to understand Watanabe.

Everyone at the base stared with eyes splitting: "You!"

"Quiet, stop talking."

Danzo raised a hand to stop his subordinate.

Kitahara Castle and the others were angrily unwilling to keep quiet, and were just waiting for Danzo-sama to personally punish Watanabe and teach this arrogant kid an unforgettable lesson.

However, the next moment, Danzo actually said something that they never expected:

"It is true that I failed to discipline my subordinates well. I will ask Beihara Castle and others to apologize to you for their mistakes, and ask them to assist you in controlling the ANBU in the future."

This was the second time Danzo bowed to Watanabe. The first time was under Mito's order, which eventually led to the disbandment of the Roots. This time he was also forced to do nothing.

He admitted that he had misjudged the situation. Even if Watanabe did not have Mito's support, he could not be weaker than Mito just by relying on his own strength. It was obviously impossible to force him to give up his position as ANBU minister.

Since there is no way to prevent Watanabe from becoming the minister, he can only try his best to maintain the status of Kitahara Castle and others in the ANBU. He has lost his roots and must not lose the ANBU again.

"Danzo-senpai, you misunderstood." Watanabe shook his head.

Even if Danzo chooses to bow his head, he still does not give face to the other party: "I don't need an apology from Kitahara Castle and others. Their visit is contrary to ANBU. As the minister, I am responsible for Konoha and there is no way for them to continue to stay."

I don't need them to assist me in ANBU."

silence.

There was a long silence that was so oppressive that one couldn't even breathe hard.

Sarutobi Shiraishi, Hatake Sakumo and other Anbu members all looked nervously at the two people confronting each other. One was the highest ranking person in Konoha, second only to the Hokage, and the other was a rising star in Konoha. The confrontation between the old and the young would end in

How does it end?

The teeth of everyone at the base were chattering, and as soon as Danzo gave an order, they would swarm Watanabe at any time.

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

After a long time, Danzo asked.

"A matter of principle cannot be discussed."

"..."

"It doesn't have to be like this."

Watanabe said calmly: "Senior Danzo, you once told me that some people are leaves bathing in the sun, and some people are roots buried deep in the ground. I didn't understand what you meant at the time, but now I understand."

"Konoha should be bathed in sunlight. It doesn't need to be buried deep in the ground. It doesn't need a single leaf."

Danzo's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes changed back and forth as he stared at Watanabe, and finally he turned and left.

Kitahara Castle and others were extremely unwilling to give in, but had no choice but to stare at Watanabe with resentful eyes and follow Danzo away.

After their figures disappeared from the end of the field of vision, Watanabe closed the seven doors, calmed down the violent and boiling chakra in his body, and turned back to face the ANBU members who looked at him strangely.

"Sorry, I just spent a little time cleaning up the bad apples. I hope everyone is not impatient to wait." Watanabe said with a smile, showing his usual sunny and warm smile again.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and then their expressions turned strange.

"The familiar Watanabe-kun is back again."

Hinata's smiling eyes curved into crescent shapes, and shallow pear dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Bei Liuhu looked at her, then at Watanabe, and suddenly felt that the two of them looked like a couple, and they both changed their faces very much.

"Let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Watanabe. My dream is world peace. From today on, I will be the Minister of ANBU..." Watanabe paused and added: "If anyone is not convinced by me, you can do it now.

Put it forward directly and I will try my best to get your approval. After all, the most important thing for colleagues is to have a harmonious relationship."

Everyone in the ANBU looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.

When Watanabe first appeared, there were indeed many people in the ANBU who were dissatisfied with him, but after witnessing how Watanabe treated those dissidents who were dissatisfied with him, no one dared to dissatisfy him anymore.

After all, even Shimura Danzo was treated as a chicken and killed by the monkey.

"See Mr. Minister!"

Sarutobi Shiraishi suddenly bowed to worship.

This visit to the shrine was more sincere than the first time.

"See Mr. Minister!"

There was a chorus of agreement.
