Although it was only the first time for Watanabe to meet the ANBU members, and his seniority and age were younger than any of the ANBU members, his action of expelling the root members just now created a strong majesty for him, and no subordinates dared to question him anymore.

ability issues.

So what he had to do next went much smoother. Watanabe asked everyone to take off their masks and get to know the newcomers who had just joined ANBU one by one.

In addition to deputy director Sarutobi Shiraishi, ANBU has thirteen team captains, and each team has ten team members. This is the organizational framework of ANBU.

Among the root members who had been expelled previously, six served as team captains. Once they left, six captain positions were vacant. Watanabe did not shy away from this and directly asked Hinata Rei, Beiliu, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru Four to be the captains.

People fill the gaps. He is new to the position and needs to have his own confidants.

As for the other two vacant teams, Watanabe dispersed the members and organized them into other teams.

Although everyone has objections to Watanabe's move to promote newcomers, Watanabe's power is still there, and at least no one has come forward to oppose it for the time being.

Watanabe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he had served as the leader of so many people. He was actually very unsettled inside. ANBU members were different from the people in the root. He could deal with Kitahara Castle and others with violence, and he could treat ANBU members with violence.

But you can't do that. You must try your best to get every member to recognize him.

When Danzo arrived at the Hokage Building, Hiruzen was sitting on a chair puffing away smoke. A crystal ball was placed on his desk. The crystal ball clearly showed the scene in the square.

Danzo glanced at the crystal ball, and the anger on his face could no longer be concealed. He strode up to Hiruzen and asked, "You gave him the order, right?"

Hiruzen put down his pipe and explained: "I didn't give any instructions. To be honest, Watanabe also surprised me. I didn't expect him to be so courageous."

The anger on Danzo's face has not subsided. In fact, he also knew in his heart that what Watanabe did was not under Hiruzen's instruction, because if Hiruzen wanted to eliminate Kitahara Castle and others from ANBU, he would have asked Sarutobi Shiraishi to do it.

, there is no need to wait for Watanabe to come.

Since the person who gave the order was not Hiruzen, it could only be the woman standing behind Watanabe.

"Why did you agree to let Watanabe be the minister? You can refuse." Danzo continued to question.

He felt that Hiruzen was too opinionated and had to listen to her in everything. How could he look like a Hokage?

"I can't refuse," Hiruzen said, "Mito-sama has decided on the candidate for the next Jinchuriki."

Danzo blurted out: "Jinchūriki is not Tsuna..."

He suddenly thought of something, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his expression immediately changed to surprise.

"Is the Jinchuuriki Watanabe?"

He found it inconceivable that Tsunade was not the one to take on such an important existence as the Jinchūriki?!

Hiruzen saw Danzo's shock and said helplessly: "This is Mito-sama's decision. I tried to persuade her, but she insisted on giving the Kyuubi to Watanabe for sealing."

Danzo's expression suddenly brightened, and his expression changed from dark to bright.

He thought of the scene where Watanabe's violent momentum put pressure on him just now... He didn't take himself seriously even if he wasn't a jinchuriki. If he became a jinchuriki, that would be fine!

"Nonsense, Watanabe is just a commoner, his background is unclear, and his loyalty to the village is unclear, how can we hand over the Kyuubi to him!" Danzo immediately objected.

Hiruzen looked at him without saying a word, as if he was saying with his eyes, go and dissuade Mito yourself if you can.

Soon, Danzo calmed down.

He himself also understood that the reasons for his opposition were untenable. Watanabe would inevitably get together with Tsunade, and after the two got married, Watanabe would no longer be a commoner with unknown background, relying on the Senju clan.

This big tree, let alone the jinchuriki and the ANBU minister, even if he wants to be Hokage in the future, it may not be impossible.

Besides, this is Mito's decision. Mito is determined to do what he wants to do, and no one can object to it.

"Hiruzhan, you are too weak." Danzo said suddenly.

Hiruzen frowned.

He doesn't think this is a matter of weakness on his part, but that there really is nothing he can do about it.

Danzo continued: "I know very well what kind of person Watanabe is. He cannot be a tool in your hands. If you don't suppress him now, you will regret it sooner or later in the future."

After the words fell, Danzo went straight out and left.

The office was silent.

After a long time, Hiruzen picked up the pipe on the table and silently looked at the scene in the crystal ball of Watanabe promoting Jiraiya, Beiliu and others amid the smoke.

What Danzo didn't know was that Hiruzen already felt regretful.

The art of politics lies in balance. If the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and the Anbu Minister are held by the same person at the same time, and there is support from the big clan behind him, the balance will be broken, and even Hiruzen will be unable to restrain him.

The most important thing is that the relationship between Hiruzen and Watanabe is not good. In order to suppress Tsunade, he deliberately refused to accept Watanabe as his disciple. Watanabe must have always remembered that incident. It is impossible for him to be like Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Recognize and respect him that way.

Now that Watanabe has fully grown up and Mito has made it clear that he favors him, it will be easier for him to suppress Watanabe.

"Fortunately, only the Senju clan supports Watanabe."

Hiruzen murmured to himself.

"Hyuga Zero is just the second daughter of the Hyuga Tenfu, a member of the branch family. One person cannot represent the position of the Hyuga clan."

"In addition, although Watanabe and Jiri have the status of master and apprentice, with Jiri's temperament, he will definitely not value this relationship. Otherwise, if Watanabe gets the support of the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan...

Haha, I will just abdicate and give it to him."

Before nightfall, Watanabe completed the personnel adjustment of the ANBU, and everyone silently accepted his arrangement. As long as the adjustment was not too excessive, no one objected.

Even if the root people are eliminated, there are still more than a hundred ANBU members, most of whom are ninjas from different ninja clans, and civilians only account for a very small part.

A minister should act like a minister. Watanabe wanted to invite everyone to have a dinner together, but he was short of money and all the money was taken away by Tsunade. He also didn't know how the ANBU's funds were calculated, so he could only temporarily organize the dinner.

The plan was shelved and everyone was dismissed.

"Watanabe, you hide so deeply!"

After the others dispersed, Jiraiya and others walked over to Watanabe and sighed and teased him.

"You actually became the Minister without any fuss, which shocked us. Will you become the Hokage without any fuss in the future?"

Watanabe smiled and said: "You were taking the Jonin exam some time ago and I didn't have the chance to tell you. Now that you have all entered the ANBU, please help me more in the future."

"No problem!" Jiraiya's chest thumped loudly: "Based on our relationship, who can I help if I don't help you?"

Orochimaru nodded calmly. Seeing that the battle just now did not leave any wounds on Watanabe, he calmly looked away.
