Nara Shikaku looked at the thoughtful old man and said slowly:

"Hokage-sama, I understand what you mean, Yuu Yu is only eight years old, and he often makes trouble, so he shouldn't be one of the root leaders, but, in my thoughts, Yu Yu is not only the future of our Konoha, but also the leader of our Konoha future, this child has a different kind of charm among the children."

A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "My son Shikamaru often mentions Yuu in front of me, and there are no negative emotions such as jealousy, fear, or disgust, but more like a good partner who has helped him a lot in his growth!" It's not just me who thinks so, but the Patriarch of Rizu and the Patriarch of Zhiwei should think the same way. ”

"Okay, I see."

Sarutobi looked at the departing Nara Shikaku, and his expression became thoughtful.

····

"Kakashi Hachiki and Yuu Nohara, the two masters and apprentices, will become the new leader of Roots", the explosive news spread quickly within Konoha Village after the meeting.

Kakashi is it, Yuu Nohara? An eight-year-old? When many parents heard the news, they couldn't help but clench their fists when they looked at their son, who was about the same age as Yuu Nohara but was still making trouble at home.

And after Yuu heard the news, his first thought was, at the age of eight, I actually entered the "root".

Yoto Nohara and Minako were also very shocked when they heard the news, they did everything possible to prevent Yuwa from entering the root when he was eight years old, originally thought it was impossible, but in the end they actually went in, which is really unpredictable.

There was a heated discussion outside about the two new leaders.

One of the new leaders of the root, Kakashi Hachiki, was summoned to the Hokage's office by Sarutobi at this time, and this time, Sarutobi Hizashi did not let Kakashi stand, and sat and talked to him on the couch in the office.

Sarutobi made a fragrant tea and poured Kakashi a cup himself.

Kakashi tasted the tea that he rarely had a chance to drink.

"Kakashi, didn't you think of it?"

Ape Fei Ri said with a smile, "Your strength, qualifications and leadership skills are obvious to all, and there is almost no one who can compare with you in terms of comprehensive ability in the entire dark department, and what is even more rare is that you have also been recognized by the patriarch and the two major advisors in the village, this position belongs to you!" How? Doesn't it seem like you're in the mood? ”

"Hokage-sama, the root leader is not a good job."

Kakashi put the teacup down and nodded with a serious face, he took a cursory look at the information on the current situation of the "root" given to him by the ape tobi slash, and also learned that the "root" was basically destroyed... Moreover, the things that Danzo did before caused the root to be notorious in Konoha now, and it will be difficult to turn over for a long time.

What's even more of a headache for him is that Yuyu is actually his deputy...

He just had a lot of headaches with this child, and when Ape Fei Ri asked him to come out of the shadows to lead the elite class, he refused.

So, that fell to Yamato.

Now... Fortunately, the third generation didn't put Maitkai to him, otherwise, he would have to think about how to refuse.

Sarufei Ri Slash seemed to know what he thought, smiled slightly, and said: "It's true that the current situation of the 'root' is worrying, but I will give you enough time and authority for the reform and reconstruction of the root, and even, I can consider not delegating tasks for three months - as for Yuyu, this child is also approved by the village patriarch, and putting him by your side can make him grow better, right?" ”

He paused and said, "Kakashi, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you know, when we put forward the root candidate, there were six or seven people, and the ninja clan patriarchs were very unanimous in approving of you!" ”

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Perhaps, thanks to my father's prestige, they have trust in me. ”

"Maybe... Your father, Sakumo Hagi..."

Sarutobi was silent, sighed slightly, and said, "I didn't even notice what Danzang did back then, speaking of which, with my identity, I should have protected the top combat power of the village, but I couldn't do it-" Kakashi waved his hand and said, "Hokage-sama, don't say that." He weighed his words and said, "You are busy with affairs, and it is impossible to do everything, not to mention, it is all done by Tuan Zang." ”

"yes, I can't imagine what Tuan Zang did."

Sarutobi shook his head and poured Kakashi another glass.

While the two were drinking tea and chatting on the sofa, a shadow ninja hurriedly walked in and reported to Sarutobi that the Uchiha Shisui, who had been missing for a day and a night, had returned to the village, but because the speed of the water was too fast, the people of the dark department could not catch up, and they guessed that Shisui had returned to the clan land.

Ape Fei Ri said, "Okay, you go down." ”

After the Shadow Ninja left, Sarutobi Hizashi chatted with Kakashi for a few more words, and then told him that Gen was in chaos right now and urgently needed a leader, so that he would take office in the afternoon... When Kakashi left the office and walked out of the Hokage building from below, Sarutobi Hizashi stood in front of the window, looking at the back of the departing silver-haired ninja, and said in his heart, Kakashi really has no complaints against me?

It seems that there is no...

That's good.

He asked the Shadow Ninja behind him, "Elephant, how long do you think it will take for the 'root' to complete this reconstruction?" ”

The Shadow Ninja, codenamed 'Elephant', said, "Of the ninjas who exist, there are more people involved in crimes than we expected... Ne's reputation was not good, but after this incident, he became even more notorious, and his subordinates couldn't think of where Kakashi could find someone, and it was unknown whether he would be able to complete the 'reconstruction' you mentioned Hokage-sama. ”

Sarutobi nodded slightly, this made Kakashi and Yuu annoyed.

He has a lot to worry about... Although today's situation is better than he imagined, and the public opinion in the village does not criticize him too much, and they are all blaming the culprit Tuan Zang, he still hears some accusations against him, which has a lot of damage to his reputation...

And, after agreeing to the eight reforms proposed by the Uchiha.

This group that is hostile to him will grow even stronger in Konoha in the future.

The Uchiha gave up a large number of positions in the police department, but only one at the captain level, which can ensure that the control of the police department is still in the hands of the Uchiha, while their people can be placed in various departments in large numbers and have an impact on other departments... This allows Uchiha to quickly integrate into Konoha Yes, and from another point of view, it also makes Uchiha more influential on the entire Konoha as a whole.

Ape Fei Ri is thinking about how to break back into a city.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head, feeling that the ninja world was not peaceful now, and he couldn't focus too much on the inside of the village, and had to pay more attention to the outside of the village, otherwise, there would be a large number of crises of this level...

It's a pity that the ace team he built for Vigilance Xiao was forced to break up.

Another combat force of this ace team, how to arrange the water stop?

····

While Sarutobi was thinking about it, the person concerned, Uchiha Shisui, had already returned to the clan land.

There was a light rain on the streets, and there were few pedestrians, and Shisui stood in the middle of the Uchiha street, his eyes through the hazy rain and fog, looking at the people in the clan land, these people were cooking in the house, teasing the children, talking, as usual, there was no miserable picture of blood flowing in the river... After a while, he muttered, "Everyone... Still alive... It's just great! ”

He ran as fast as he could.

When he returned to the courtyard wall of his house, he saw his sister Fenghua standing under the canopy of the house, staring at the crows he raised in a daze.

"Wind Flower!"

"Brother!!"

Fenghua rushed over and hugged Shishui, who jumped in front of her, and shouted happily, "Brother, I knew you wouldn't defect!" ”

"Of course not." Zhishui saw that after his sister let go of him, she was staring at the crow she raised again, and the black lines on his face warned sternly, "Fenghua, don't hit my crow's idea!" ”

"But, I want to make soup for Yuyu!"

"Take my crow to make soup for Yuyu? Cook your head! If you dare to do it, you will die!! ”

"But、But Yuu Yu is good to us... Brother, you don't know, I was almost killed last night..."

"What's going on? You speak slowly. ”

Zhishui restrained his smile, and was shocked after only a few words, after listening to what his sister said, he was silent for a long time, and he didn't respond to his sister's shouts for a long time... After a long time, he sighed, it turned out that yesterday's feeling was not wrong, there was indeed only a thin line away from the extermination of the Uchiha, he looked at Fenghua who was shouting in worry and said, "Don't scream, I'm fine..." Fenghua, have you opened the writing wheel? ”

"yes!"

Fenghua's eyes widened, and a pair of single-hook jade writing wheels that were spinning rapidly, she said, "I was so scared last night that I cried, and then I found out that I opened the writing wheel eyes." ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the house, Mom, is she scared?"

"Of course there is, that ferret is really killing."

After Uchiha Shisui returned to the house for a while, he went straight to the Uchiha patriarch's house after coming out, and Fugaku had already received the news that Shisui had returned safely, and when he saw him coming, he welcomed him in, and after the two talked in the house for a while, Fugaku sent him to the door and asked, "Shisui, are you going to see him?" ”

Zhishui shook his head and said lightly: "No need, I don't like to see that kind of scene, that person must know what I think..." What will happen to him in the end? ”

Fugaku said: "He opened the kaleidoscope, and Jiraiya and the three generations are trying their best to protect him, so we can only stop about it." ”

He added, "However, when that kid, Uchiha Itachi, woke up, he was a little confused, thinking that his experience last night was just a painful nightmare, and that it would take some time for him to recover, and that after he recovered, he might return to the shadows, and that it was impossible for the Uchiha to accept him again." ”

"Does Sasuke know about this?"

"Sasuke was quickly transferred by my shadow clone when he came home last night, and he still doesn't know what his brother did—after that, he should gradually know."

Zhishui listened silently.

Fu Yue asked again: "Stop the water, what are your plans next?" ”

Zhishui looked into the distance: "Let's rest." ”

Fu Yue was stunned: "Rest? ”

Zhishui said helplessly: "It's just an afternoon break, if my guess is right, that kid will definitely let me go to the 'root' tomorrow to report." ”

Fuyue laughed when he heard this.

····

And this time, Zhishui guessed wrong.

When the water stops resting, Yuu Yu also started his rest time, going to 'root' to work? Nothing. Whether it's going to work or school, he doesn't have these concepts in his head. He asked his only boss Kakashi Hachiki for five days off on the grounds that he was tired from fighting last night, and Kakashi was naturally very angry after receiving his leave note, and he forcibly did not rush to the Hokage's office to resign.

Kakashi sighed.

I felt how wise I was to refuse when the elite class was established.

This disciple of his own is too unreliable.

Sigh to sigh, work still has to be done, Kakashi started to go to work at the root headquarters that afternoon, but, after he came to the root headquarters, he was shocked by the miserable picture here, the root base was full of craters blown out by explosions, and many buildings collapsed, he thought about it a little, and knew that it was the masterpiece of his disciple, so he was completely speechless.

After entering the root headquarters, he saw that most of the root members were panicking.

He knew that many of these people might have done things that Konoha couldn't tolerate, and many of them would be taken away.

Kakashi made his way to the root chief's office, and after his orders were arranged one by one, the base was finally less chaotic.

In the next few days, many of the roots were taken away one after another, and on the third day, the censorship of the root members was finally over, and as a result, there were only about 180 members of the root left, and a large number of them were children who did not understand anything.

This left Kakasilo a little devastated.

He started the most crucial step, and he started recruiting.

It's just that, in the face of this notorious organization, who wants to come? There was very little response from the entire village.

After the recruitment announcement came out, two days later, more than a dozen people were recruited, and the number of people barely filled in the root to 200.

The work of rebuilding the "roots" was seen by many people, and many thought that the reconstruction would be quite difficult, but when they heard the news, they were also very speechless, was it even more difficult than they expected? Moreover, the kid began to "bear" again.

Many people wondered in their hearts, how could the higher-ups in the village think that a bear child was reliable?

Ape Fei Ri was also slightly stunned when he heard this, and he began to worry about the reconstruction of the roots.

And on the sixth day, Yuuha's vacation ended and his first day of work began.

He came to the headquarters of the root, and saw that a large number of buildings here had begun to be repaired, and the order inside was also very orderly, he nodded slightly, knowing that his teacher still had strength, otherwise he would not be the sixth generation of another time and space.

He came to the office of the root chief.

Seeing that Kakashi was ignoring him in the office, he walked in, took an apple from the pantry inside the office, washed it and ate it, and sat down on the sofa chair in front of Kakashi while eating the apple.

"What a good idea." Kakashi didn't talk nonsense and asked straight to the point.

Yu Yu was slightly stunned: "You are not angry with me for asking for leave?" ”

Kakashi rolled his eyes at him, "What are you doing... I understand what you mean, after I stabilize the roots, you can come again, say, what do you think. ”

Yuu Yu said, "What if the people of the root didn't wear masks? ”

Kakashi shook his head, "The missions carried out by Gen involve a large number of classified missions, reconnaissance of enemy intelligence, assassination, etc... You must keep your identity a secret, and if you don't wear a mask—" Yuu said, "Yes! I've seen the types of tasks that the root performs, and at least half of them don't need to keep their identities secret! So, I'm going to divide the 'roots' into two units, the stealth unit and the regular unit!

"The Covert Force is made up of those who remain at the root now! And the regular troops,There are very few restraints on the ninjas of this army.,Not to mention the 'Seal of the Root of the Tongue'.,Even if it's a mask, you can choose not to wear it.,One of the reasons why the root has a bad reputation is that the constraints of Tuan Zang on his subordinates are too strong.,It's almost like the ninja is a slave who is not allowed to have any other thoughts in his hands! ”

Yuu Yu continued, "I won't do that! I want to make 'Root' a powerful organization that has a real relationship between subordinates and subordinates and works together for Konoha!

"When the time comes, even Maitkai, who is considered to be the least likely to be recruited, I think, with our relationship, he will be willing to come!"

"Wait!" Kakashi interrupted him, sweat forming up on his forehead, "Who did you say you wanted to recruit in Gen?" ”

"Maitkai!"

"I don't want to do it anymore!"

"Kakashi-sensei, don't be petty!"

“····”

After Kakashi wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking about the feasibility of Yuu's idea, he frowned and asked, "Will the third generation agree?" Yuyu said: "He asked us to carry out the reform of the 'root', if we have to meddle in this point, then we will leave the peach behind!" ”

"He said let me go and reform."

Kakashi nodded slightly and said, "The setup of the regular troops can indeed attract a lot of people, and it can also increase the reputation of 'Root', but will this cause other problems?" Even if they perform tasks that don't require secrecy, they are members of the root after all... Does the covert force carry out a mission against the other ninjas in the village at risk of retaliation for the regular forces? ”

He asked himself, "Ninjas are at risk of retaliation when they carry out their missions." ”

Eventually, Kakashi clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Just do what you say!! ”

On the same day, they released the idea and the recruitment announcement.

Roots of the regular troops? Is this really feasible? And in the next two or three days, they kept hearing surprising news, Uchiha, Hinata, Oil Girl, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi and other families have a large number of ninjas to join the regular army of the root, among which there are many famous Shinobi, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Tomoki, Uchiha Naoto, Hinata Hiza, Hinata Homon, Hinata Tokuma, Oil Girl Shiguro, Oil Girl Muta, Nara Salt Water, Three Days in the Mountains, Autumn Road Stone... And that Konoha blue beast, Maitkai!

“····”

Did Maitkai actually enter the roots?

On this day, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiza was browsing the list of people who had joined the root regular army, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, the move of "regular troops" solved the problem of difficulty in recruiting people, he was just a little surprised, and these lineups that joined him were very surprised, these are the ninjas in the village, the mainstay of the ninja clans, and they were recruited by them like this.

I heard that these people were recruited by Kakashi Hachiki and Yuu Nohara's family "with difficulty".

He thought to himself, if he wanted to recruit these people into the shadows, would those ninjas be willing?

It's hard, it's hard...

And did this pair of masters and apprentices complete it so easily?

Sarutobi said in his heart, Kakashi Hachiki has such a big face, or is it that Yuu Nohara also contributed to it?

He looked at the list of Gen's regular troops again, and a rather startling question rose in his mind:

"If you add Kakashi and Yuuha, with their kind of lineup, can their own dark elites be matched?"
