Chapter 566 Reunion

The contact with the Daimyo envoy did not take much time.

The arrival of the envoy was just to ask about the current situation in Konoha, and then informed Tsunade that the daimyo had important military affairs and invited her, the Hokage, to go to the daimyo mansion for discussions. He also hoped that she could leave as soon as possible, definitely in March.

2 days ago, we arrived at Damingfu.

Although there is not much time left for Tsunade, considering that it takes about half a day to reach the Daming Mansion from Konoha Village, Tsunade does not seem too anxious. She just replies to these messengers, and she will arrive in 3

Arrive at Daming Mansion on time before the 2nd of the month and meet up with the daimyo.

Before heading to Daming Mansion, Tsunade felt that it was necessary to shock the restless elements in the village, so as not to give some people an opportunity to do something unruly when she went to Daming Mansion to discuss important matters.

Although her own power has only deeply penetrated a few limited departments such as ANBU and the medical department among various departments in Konoha, as long as she holds the name of Hokage, then Konoha Village has at least half of the power, and she

It can be mobilized in the name of the Hokage. And these powers are the deterrent force that the Hokage has at the top of the village.

Departments such as the ANBU and the medical department are only important channels for the Hokage to issue his own decrees, but the actual implementers are tens of thousands of ninjas in the village.

With this background, the Hokage is the Hokage.

That being said, Tsunade does not dare to underestimate the power of the Ninja clan today. The Ninja clan was greatly stimulated by the Uchiha clan incident and began to aggressively seek power in order to stabilize their family status. Nowadays, there are many Ninja clans. It can be said that

, her teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi left her with an extremely troublesome problem.

There is also the issue of how to deal with the Sarutobi clan... Although most of the members of the ANBU have been replaced, there are still some important positions that are firmly controlled by the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan. They must obediently handle the affairs that should be under the jurisdiction of the Hokage.

The selfless return of the ANBU position cannot be solved smoothly by just talking.

If it goes wrong, it may cause bloodshed.

If the trouble were to reach that level, Tsunade would undoubtedly not want to see it.

"Hokage-sama, the list of escorts has been drawn up. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?"

At this time, Shikaku's voice rang in his ears, and he came to Tsunade with a list.

Tsunade took the list and quickly glanced at it.

The names on the list are all the escort ninjas who will accompany her to the Daming Mansion, and all of them are elites selected from the ANBU.

Except for Shikaku, the Jonin squad leader who must accompany him, the remaining escorts total seventeen people, which is exactly the number of ANBU detachments.

The leader is Tenzo, a blood-successor ninja with wood escape.

"Replace Tianzang and choose another squad leader to take over."

After Tsunade put down the list, she ordered Shikaku.

"Replace Tenzo? Hokage-sama, with all due respect, Tenzo is one of the very few powerful ninjas in the ANBU. Only with him and the rest of the ANBU can everything be ensured."

Shikaku was slightly startled.

"No, just do it like this."

Tsunade thought about it and decided to replace Tenzo.

"Can you tell me the reason, Hokage-sama?"

Shikaku asked not understanding.

From his point of view, he did not think that Tenzo, the Wood Release ninja, had any loyalty issues.

"It's not what you think. I have never doubted Tenzo's loyalty, but I plan to let him take over the position of guiding Jonin of Team 7."

Tsunade knew that Shikaku had misunderstood something, so she explained.

"So that's it."

Hearing Tsunade's explanation, Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief. He thought something was wrong with Tenzo too.

Although there are some problems within Konoha, they cannot completely fall into the trap set by the enemy. They start to become suspicious and lack trust in anyone.

And if even the Hokage himself becomes suspicious, it will easily cause a crisis of trust within Konoha, causing the village to collapse from within, which is extremely detrimental to Konoha's future development.

"What do you think, let Tian Zang serve as the new captain of Team 7?"

Tsunade picked up the pen in her hand and tapped it twice on the table. After making a crisp sound, she asked Shikaku's opinion.

In response to Tsunade's inquiry, Shikaku said without hesitation: "I think it is feasible. Tenzo is the only Wooden ninja in the village, and Wooden, like the Sharingan, has the restraint power to suppress tailed beasts. Let him be Naruto

The escort is undoubtedly the best choice."

Team 7 has now lost one captain and one member, leaving only two people, unable to shoulder the responsibilities of Team 7 at all.

So, at this time, it is necessary to reorganize Team 7.

However, considering the special nature of Naruto as a Jinchuuriki, ordinary ninjas are simply not qualified to serve as the captain of Team 7. After all, while protecting Naruto, they can also calm down the power of the tailed beasts in his body. Such a ninja

It is even harder to find in Konoha Village.

Apart from Tenzo, Shikaku couldn't think of anyone in Konoha who was more suitable to be the captain of Team 7 than him.

"Then let's settle it. Let Tianzang take office tomorrow and lead Team 7 to carry out the mission, and then... prohibit them from temporarily leaving the Country of Fire. The scope of mission activities is only within the territory of the Country of Fire."

Tsunade thought for a while and gave the scope of activities of Class 7.

"this……"

Shikaku looked hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

"In fact, when Naruto first joined Team 7 to perform the mission, the senior management, except for the Third Generation, prohibited Naruto from leaving the Konoha Village area. They believed that Naruto, as a jinchuriki, should not leave Konoha's sphere of influence.

Otherwise, it is too risky. If it is lost, Konoha will suffer heavy losses."

"It's really ridiculous. The jinchuriki is not only a weapon of the village, but also a member of Konoha ninja, with his own will. If it is not sharpened, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it will rust. If you just hide the jinchuriki in the snow

In the village, if he is not allowed to experience the wind and rain, in the end he will be just a container with powerful chakra energy."

Tsunade sneered at this explanation.

Shikaku knew that he could not convince Tsunade with this explanation. And his purpose was not to convince Tsunade, but to remind Tsunade that doing so might arouse opposition from the advisory group.

But since Tsunade was ready for this, he would naturally choose to support it.

He is the jounin squad leader, and his direct boss is the Hokage, not the advisory board.

And he also strongly agreed with Tsunade's point of view. A ninja who has not experienced hardships, no matter how outstanding his qualifications are, will hardly become a ninja on his own.

Naruto has huge potential that can be tapped. If you just keep him inside Konoha Village and give him the best protection, what you end up cultivating is just flowers in the greenhouse.

But the current Konoha does not need the jinchuriki developed in the greenhouse.

Putting Naruto under the protection of Konoha is undoubtedly Konoha's biggest loss.

"Shikaku, go and handle this matter well, let Tenzo make adequate preparations, and don't be influenced by the people in the advisory group. By the way, take the Anbu to the torture chamber, visit the old guy Danzo, and warn him.

Just hide your claws and claws in the dark, and don’t extend them to places you shouldn’t.”

If it weren't for the current lack of strength, the first thing Tsunade wanted to do was not to give a painless warning, but to uproot the roots from inside Konoha.

Let this shadow that has shrouded Konoha for decades be completely erased from Konoha.

Unfortunately, such an idea is just a fantasy that exists in the mind and is difficult to put into practice.

"yes."

Seeing Tsunade's resolute attitude, Shikaku could only nodded and sighed inwardly.

It was just a warning, but he didn't think the roots would stop there.

But for now, we can only delay it like this, and the next focus is the meeting at Daming Mansion.

Things in the village can only be decided upon when we return later.

If I still have this leisurely mood after I come back.

"Okay, that's it. Inform the people on the list to gather at the main entrance at five o'clock tomorrow morning, and the destination is Daming Mansion."

"Then I'm going down, Hokage-sama."

Lu Jiu took the list again, turned around and left the office.

◎

The next day, it was just dawn.

Dragging his exhausted body, Naruto set out from home and arrived at the meeting place drowsily.

The gathering place is a training ground located in the corner of Konoha Village, surrounded by dense trees. In some places, rusty barbed wire can be seen, accurately dividing the training ground area from the free area of ​​​​the village.

.

When he arrived at the training ground, he found that someone had already arrived first.

The other person had long cherry-colored hair and was holding a lunch box in his hand. He was standing boredly in the open space, looking at something.

It's Sakura.

"Good morning, Sakura."

Naruto yawned, walked over feebly, and started to say hello to Sakura's back.
