Chapter 274 Breakthrough (8K Subscription~)
The purpose of Sarutobi Hiruzen mobilizing Anbe is very obvious, that is to attack certain people.
Xia Yan gave him so much time to prepare, and constantly showed his strength and confidence, Sarutobi Hiruza really didn't have much choice.
Especially after that meeting with Nara Shikahisa and Xia Yan, he knew that Xia Yan had made up for all the follow-up problems that might cause trouble to Konoha.
This really made him realize thoroughly how determined Xia Yan is to eliminate these problems.
It is also to blame these people who used to follow him, they should never, never should have had some crooked thoughts, no one can really save them if they have such thoughts.
The moon and stars were sparse, and Hiruzaru Sarutobi stood on the Hokage Rock, his eyes were a little complicated looking at Konoha shrouded in the night.
That kid Kakashi is now the minister of Konoha Anbe, and he has already contacted Kakashi and got Kakashi's support.
Now, what he has to do is the last thing, the last thing he is unwilling to do and has to do.
"Hey"
After a long time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed faintly, and then he closed his eyes slightly.
Now he is a member of the elders group in name, but in fact he can only be regarded as Xia Yan's adviser, because the elders group may really exist in name only after tonight.
But when it disappears, it disappears. As Hokage, he knows what the meaning of the existence of the elders group is.
It exists to deter an ill-advised Hokage from doing the wrong thing and thus dragging Konoha into the abyss.
But when the ability of the elders group does not match that of Hokage, then the elders group will become a burden that hinders Hokage's progress.
Especially the current group of elders wants to do things that endanger Konoha, which is really hard for Sarutobi Hiruza to agree with and understand.
Regarding Xia Yan's ability, Hiruzaru Sarutobi may not have taken it seriously at first, after all Xia Yan was just a small captain back then.
But after he seized the position of captain, Hiruzaru Sarutobi began to pay attention to this kid from the Senshou clan.
This kid hid very well at the beginning, and his performance was also very good.
But as time went by, Hiruzaru Sarutobi gradually found that this kid was really difficult to control.
Especially when he completely got the position of Minister Anbu, this made Hiruzaru Sarutobi understand the tricks of this brat.
It's just that he realized it a little too late, this brat is no longer able to intervene and deal with it.
It's not that he didn't think about pulling Xia Yan, a brat, to his side, and he also ran out of an olive branch, but Xia Yan refused without hesitation at that time.
It was a pity for him at the time, but now he can't help but sigh that what he did back then was really stupid.
Is someone like Xia Yan who is both ambitious and capable and capable, really willing to obey his arrangement and take over his job honestly?
Obviously this is impossible, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is now happy that Xia Yan did not choose him at that time.
After all, if he had chosen himself at that time, he would definitely have taken an easier path. If so, would Xia Yan still be as sharp as he is now?
He didn't know this question, but he knew that the current Xia Yan really surprised him.
He is old, and his way of thinking really can't keep up with a young man like Xia Yan, and his behavior is not as vigorous as that of a young man.
But it doesn't mean that he can't see the good or bad of Xia Yan's policy, can't see Xia Yan's ability, can't see Xia Yan's wrist!
Although Xia Yan's policies are radical in his opinion, the interests of all parties are taken into account in such radicalness.
Such an approach really does not show that he is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and his follow-up policies are completely aimed at Konoha's weaknesses.
And in conjunction with Konoha's lack of areas, he will push forward the reforms he needs. With such a keen thinking and handling methods, Hiruza Sarutobi feels that even if he is 30 years younger, he may not be able to do it.
This mode of thinking and understanding has already created a huge fault and gap with him. In terms of ninja strength, this can be said to be in a different dimension.
Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't understand how Xia Yan cultivated such a thinking mode.
This kid is obviously so young, but such a method is really beyond the reach of a young man.
"Perhaps, this is genius."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, and then the chakra in his body moved slightly, after thinking for so long, he should move now.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is old, his chakra is becoming more and more pure, and even ten years later he can fight hard with Orochimaru.
Now he is not that old yet, and his strength is still there, even if it is not as good as Ninjao back then, but he is not something that others can underestimate!
Running fast all the way, combined with the use of the teleportation technique, he quietly entered Mitomonyan's house.
After Anbu's investigation, he knew that his two old classmates would meet here tonight, so he just came here and waited.
After avoiding all the guards and waiting for Anbu to take his place collectively, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly walked into the house he was still familiar with.
Mitomon Yan is his old friend and even his old classmate. He has been here quite a few times. It can be said that he is quite familiar with everything here.
At this time, there was no one in the living room, and only the moonlight was slowly seeping down in the dark room. Hiruzaru Sarutobi walked slowly to the seat, and he sat down slowly.
The bright moonlight fell on him, making him look so lonely and also so cold.
In this place, he began to recall their past, everything they had experienced.
Because he knew very well that after tonight, his old classmates might no longer exist, and his coming here was actually a farewell.
"Da da da"
The crisp sound of clogs hitting the floor made Hiruzaru Sarutobi wake up suddenly, he knew that it was his two old friends who had returned.
Sure enough, when the door was slowly pushed open, the two of them immediately noticed that there was someone in the room!
They immediately took a defensive posture, but when they saw clearly who the person in the room was through the cold moonlight, they couldn't help being surprised.
"Ri Zhan, why is it you?" Turning Sleeping Xiaochun asked in astonishment, but soon her face changed slightly: "The purpose of your coming here is..."
"Well, I think you've guessed it too." Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed slightly, his eyes were full of loneliness: "Sorry, I can't do anything, and I can't change anything."
"You are betraying, betraying your third Hokage, betraying the entire Konoha!"
Mito Menyan almost gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, he hoped to use his voice to attract everyone's attention.
"Actually, I've been trying to make him stop doing this, but you guys."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slowly, he stood up with an incomparably low and lonely voice.
"You shouldn't, you really shouldn't"
"Are you going to let us just get caught like this?
Stop dreaming Sarutobi, you and your family have settled down, after all you are Hokage and he dare not do anything, but we are different! "
Is it different?
Is the difference the reason that can cause turmoil in Konoha?
Hiruzaru Sarutobi closed his eyes slightly, and at this moment he didn't want to say more.
Because at this moment he has made up his mind completely, if he was forced by Xia Yan before, then now he is willing to do so on his own initiative.
He is alone now, his friends are dead, his wife is dead.
Now, only Konoha is left.
This night was an extremely ordinary night for ordinary ninjas and residents of Konoha.
But for Konoha this night, it was another night of great significance.
The timing of Sarutobi's attack was very ingenious. He did it when his old classmates were prepared, but the preparation was not sufficient.
The result of this is that Konoha not only got the evidence they wanted, but also swept all hidden dangers into the garbage dump of history.
After Xia Yan got the report the next day, he personally burned the report to ashes. After all, thousands of lives recorded in the report disappeared like this.
And Xia Yan heard that when the Anbu and the security department went to deal with these corpses together, it took a lot of effort to complete all this.
The corpses of thousands of people is not a small number, and this incident also caused a lot of noise in Konoha.
It has to be said that now that Anbu, Genbu and the newspaper are all in his hands, Xia Yan's control over the entire Konoha public opinion has also reached its peak.
In the past, he could control Anbu and the newspaper alone to target Sarutobi Hiruzen, because Sarutobi Hiruzen was just an agent Hokage after all.
From everyone's point of view, Xia Yan followed the Fourth Hokage, so Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't do anything to Xia Yan, after all, his reputation was not right.
But now Xia Yan has passed the selection and assessment in a serious manner, and has become a legitimate Hokage, and these institutions are naturally controlled by him.
Therefore, with the efforts of the three parties, even this time many cleaning personnel live in relatively densely populated places.
But there is not much news that can be spread, only the strong smell of blood has not dissipated for a long time, which seems to prove their existence.
In addition, only a small number of ninjas knew about it, and they were also shocked by what Xia Yan had done.
And to be honest, even if Xia Yan spread the matter, it wouldn't be a big problem.
After all, he had a plan in advance, and the residents of Konoha knew more or less what they had planned to do with these people who disappeared inexplicably.
But after this night, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Natsuhiko took a week-long vacation.
He didn't say what he was going to do, and Xia Yan didn't ask, but gave the old man a rest and buffer time.
Xia Yan is very clear that Sarutobi Hiruzen really has nothing now, and to be precise, there may be very few friends left in his generation.
And his son Xia Yan knew that one had already died, and the other Asma was definitely not a worry-free person.
Only he himself knows the old man's loneliness, so Xia Yan doesn't intend to embarrass him, after all, he is really under a lot of pressure now.
After all, after severely cleaning out the unstable factors in Konoha, Hiruzaru Sarutobi will continue to bear the infamy.
With more and more relevant reports in the newspapers, especially the news about Jonin, with Xia Yan's acquiescence, began to be dug deeper and deeper.
The scolding of Sarutobi Hiruzen by those special jōnin naturally became louder and louder.
After all, judging from what has been excavated, the possibility of them being kicked into Chunin in the future may be greater than the possibility of becoming Jonin!
They originally imagined that the improvement of the junin would be so great, so these special jnin should be able to enjoy some bonuses.
But now that this matter is exposed, they know that they can't eat anything at all, and they can only retreat to Chunin.
Under such circumstances, how could they not be angry, but their anger did not point at Xia Yan, but at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After all, Xia Yan had just dealt with thousands of people, even if it was justified, it would leave people with a sense of awe.
Of course, the meaning of respect is stronger, and the mentality of fear is weaker. This is the effect Xia Yan wants.
In addition, Xia Yan vigorously promotes the reform of the ninja welfare, and reports prove that he also intends to promote the ninja welfare system at other levels.
Therefore, it is even more impossible for them to scold Xia Yan, and the only person they want to scold and resent is Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"After a week off, how do you feel?"
However, no matter how loud the outside wind was, it couldn't affect the decision makers. On the last day of the week, Xia Yan came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's house in person.
"It's okay, after all, I like to keep recalling the past when I'm old."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi brewed a pot of tea himself, and he said slowly while filling it up for Xia Yan.
"It's not necessarily useless to be old. As the saying goes, an old family is like a treasure. It turns out that you are also very precious sometimes."
Xia Yan picked up the tea that Sarutobi Hiricho poured, smelled the fragrance from the teacup and said with a smile.
"I'm really important for you to be blamed, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slowly, then he took a sip of tea and said seriously.
"I am willing to take on this kind of thing, and I can continue to take on it, just like Danzo back then.
But I only have one request, that is, I want to see Konoha standing on top of the ninja world in my lifetime, you must do it! "
"I promise you this, and you will see."
Xia Yan is still very confident about this matter, anyway, it is related to Xia Yan's system tasks.
And after he really did Hokage, Xia Yan felt that it was really not good for him not to do something.
After all, everything from his previous life was deeply engraved in his DNA, although Xia Yan might not be able to create a unification of the ninja world.
But it seems that it is not impossible to build a community of multilateral interests. After all, Naruto has almost achieved it.
"By the way, call Asma back when you have time. Konoha is short of talents now, and he does nothing with the identity of Konoha ninja. This is unreasonable and unreasonable."
"Indeed, it's time for that child to come back. By the way, do Tsunade and Jiraiya need me to find it for you?"
"Hmph, when Konoha and Yunyin started the war, they didn't come back. I tolerate them because they are Sannin, and there is even one from the Thousand Hands."
"It seems that you really have a big opinion on them, but what if they come back later?"
"Jiraiya has also come back, but I gave him a task to track down Orochimaru. As for Tsunade, let's talk about it at that time."
Xia Yan really didn't care much about Tsunade and Jiraiya's return.
Although their return can bring a good morale boost to Konoha, it can also strengthen Konoha's overall strength.
But they had been away for so long, and they didn't even think about coming back when Konoha was in the most trouble. In Xia Yan's view, if they didn't want to come back, they might as well not come back!
Konoha is now supported by Xia Yan, and they are really not afraid of encountering any major troubles. As far as the present is concerned, no one in the ninja world dares to trouble Konoha.
Xia Yan knew that there was a reason for their reluctance to go back to Konoha, but Konoha was so dangerous and never came back, did they really take Konoha as their family?
Maybe they came back, and they would choose to make a move according to the actual situation, and maybe they really did such a thing according to their personality.
But Xia Yan didn't see it, so naturally he wouldn't count. The task Xia Yan gave Jiraiya was actually like this.
This is a clear signal, he is telling Jiraiya that he can even tell Tsunade through Jiraiya that you are not willing to come back to Konoha and you will not be welcomed back.
Xia Yan is definitely a strong shadow, and he doesn't think it's bad to be strong as a shadow.
After all, the shadow represents the attitude of a village, Xia Yan is not the current Sarutobi Hiruzen, you must know that Sarutobi Hiruzen was also a very strong person when he was young.
As for calling Asma back, the meaning is very clear, that is to find a suitable heir for their Sarutobi clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzan's approaching helped Xia Yan so much, and the Sarutobi clan had already developed to a good level when he was Hokage.
And the speed at which the Sarutobi clan is getting closer is not too slow, especially since they didn't participate in the previous mess.
That being the case, giving this family some room for development can be regarded as an image promotion.
This can be regarded as telling everyone that you can see that the Sarutobi clan, which makes me very uncomfortable, can develop, and you and I are absolutely right.
However, Xia Yan will also curb the upper limit of the development of the Sarutobi clan, and even make them spit out a lot if necessary.
After all, the cake they ate back then was really not too small.
Time passed quickly, and in the following time, Xia Yan asked Nara Lujiu to pay attention to the process of Jonin's reform, and at the same time asked him to prepare for negotiations with Yunyin.
The reform of Jōnin is going well, but Xia Yan didn't continue to mention the fact that Xia Yan hoped that the major families would come up with the family's collection of ninjutsu.
It's not that everyone is unwilling or that Xia Yan has forgotten, but that there is no need for it at all.
After the families who once followed Sarutobi Hiruzen were wiped out by him, Xia Yan was also full.
The ninjutsu confiscated from their family combined with Konoha's original ninjutsu library, which was completely used by Xia Yan for the ninjutsu.
But there is one interesting thing, that is, the Sarutobi clan actively contributed a lot of ninjutsu.
Naturally, Xia Yan would not be polite about such a situation. The foundation of the Sarutobi clan is actually such a large number of ninjutsu.
Now that their family has completely surrendered, they are willing to show themselves with more things, and Xia Yan will naturally not refuse.
With these huge resources, plus the ninjutsu that Yunyin is about to send over, the situation of Konoha Uchijojou is now very good.
According to Nara Shikahisa's assessment, Konoha will soon be able to start trying to reform the Chunin's welfare policy.
This is definitely good news for Xia Yan. The most troublesome level has passed, so the next thing will be relatively simple.
However, Shikahisa Nara is really exhausted. The success of the reform is a good thing, but he has to deal with the next problems.
And he not only has to be in charge of this part, but also integrates a series of government affairs issues of Konoha, and most importantly, he needs to cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with Yun Yin's negotiations.
Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for the negotiation, they have no idea whether it is a newcomer, so this matter also needs the help of Shikahisa Nara.
As for other messy issues, the Ministry of Government Affairs needs to deal with them. This really put Nara Shikahisa under immense pressure, and his fatigue level also increased crazily.
Although he knew that this was a temporary problem, according to Konoha's development speed, the Ministry of Government Affairs, the core hub department, would only get busier in the future.
Therefore, Xia Yan naturally recommended the secretariat to Shikahisa Nara. After all, Xia Yan planned to turn the secretariat into a secretarial department.
Nara Shikajiu had heard about the unique secretarial department that Xia Yan founded when he was in Anbe, and relied on this department to continuously reduce the pressure of work.
It's just that Nara Shikahisa is a little worried. Once this department becomes bigger, it will make the minister empty.
Although he knew from Xia Yan's statement that the secretary had no real power at all, they had the right to propose.
The most important thing is that all the documents are handed in by them, and they quietly influence the tendency of decision makers.
I have to say that Nara Shikahisa is really powerful. The reason why Humphrey was able to manipulate the ministers and even the prime minister is that he has the right to submit documents.
Of course, not all of them. More importantly, they have mastered the schedule of the meeting and the itinerary of the decision makers, which makes it easier for them to arrange many things.
For example, when it is time for lunch or get off work, the most important proposals will be presented at this time, so how long will those decision makers have to discuss?
What's more, those ministers and prime ministers can't sit in this position for long, so they can't play with these secretaries at all.
But this world is different, after all, they have no time limit for their reign.
Perhaps Nara Shikahisa wanted to understand this point, and then he also accepted Xia Yan's proposal, which was also Xia Yan's first step in expanding the secretary department.
But then he ignored this matter, he left behind a shadow clone and quietly left Konoha.
In a dense forest in the Land of Fire, Xia Yan quietly appeared here, and then he quickly walked forward.
This place is Orochimaru's lair in Fireland, Xia Yan only met Orochimaru a few months ago, he didn't expect Orochimaru to come to him now.
But he knew that Orochimaru would never bother him when he was free, especially now that he had become Hokage, he would naturally be more busy.
What's more, Konoha's reform is not hidden, this reform is almost directly placed in front of everyone.
Under such circumstances, Orochimaru would naturally think that Xia Yan is definitely busy now, so if there is really nothing to do, I am afraid he will not look for Xia Yan.
Quickly passing through the dense underground tunnel built by Orochimaru, he soon came to the laboratory of Orochimaru.
At this time, Orochimaru's face was full of excitement, which looked extraordinarily weird.
However, his expression made the corners of Xia Yan's eyes twitch slightly, and he seemed to have realized what Orochimaru's purpose in finding him was now.
"Master Hokage, you are here."
Orochimaru had already noticed Xia Yan's arrival, after all, this was his territory, he turned around with a smile and bowed slightly to Xia Yan.
"It seems that my teacher really lost, but losing to Hokage-sama is also a normal thing, after all, he is really old."
"Thank you for your congratulations, but I don't think you brought me here just for such a boring thing."
Xia Yan looked at Dashewan calmly, and a peaceful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Looking at Oshemaru-sama's expression, maybe there is some new discovery that brought me here?"
"That's right, there are indeed new discoveries. After all, after Minister Xia Yan became the Fifth Hokage, he has much more resources than before."
Orochimaru smiled and licked his tongue, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"So if I don't show more value, then maybe I will be abandoned by Hokage-sama in the future.
But God seems to have really helped me this time, and I did have a lot of gratifying discoveries. "
Xia Yan couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard Dashewan. Although Dashewan's words were a bit too realistic, Xia Yan himself knew that he was a realist.
Now that Xia Yan is Hokage, he has almost mastered the entire resources of Konoha. If he increases his investment, it is hard to say whether there is really no such thing as Orochimaru.
When he was still Anbu, he had already split up the medical department, and part of it was integrated into Anbu.
Now that he is Hokage, even if he didn't restore the medical department, he didn't even mention the medical department among the eight major departments.
But the current medical department still exists, but it was downgraded by Xia Yan to the medical department under the name of Hokage.
It can be said that Xia Yan really wants to do something, he can fully mobilize the medical department to do it, even if their level is not as good as Orochimaru, but after all, there are more people and more resources.
Orochimaru himself came out of Konoha, of course he knows how huge Konoha's resources are, and his worries are normal.
However, Xia Yanke did not take similar actions at all, even Kakashi who was already in charge of Anbu was not in a hurry.
Even if he really wanted to try to revive everything he had lost in his heart, he also knew that this kind of thing was not as good as stabilizing Konoha.
So he didn't mess around from the beginning to the end, and the experiment on Konoha's side has been going on slowly.
Now that Orochimaru has come up with the results, Xia Yan is actually quite happy in his heart, because with this technique, Xia Yan is equivalent to getting another chapter of cards.
After all, this is the technique of resurrection. With this technique, Xia Yan can definitely attract more people's hearts, and also create a super trump card for himself.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what happens. With this technique, if Xia Yan encounters any accident, he can also be resurrected, right?
"It seems that Oshemaru-sama really gave me a surprise."
Although Xia Yan was very happy in his heart, he showed great restraint and just kept a warm smile.
"I don't know what kind of breakthrough Master Orochimaru has, and where did Master Orochimaru obtain the strength materials?"
"Don't worry, I can't do anything wrong in the Land of Fire when Lord Hokage is in power and we have cooperation."
Orochimaru licked his tongue, he replied with a smile.
"Speaking of which, Hokage-sama may still need to give me a commission, after all, I have swept away many bandit dens in the country of fire.
These guys are people who can't get along in the small country next door. After coming to the country of fire, they often attack traders.
In addition, I also arrested a lot of enemy ninjas who fled to the country of fire, as well as some rebellious ninjas from Konoha. "
Orochimaru really took a lot of effort to get the experimental materials. After all, he reached an agreement with Xia Yan and Xia Yan also proved that he can indeed protect Orochimaru.
Therefore, Orochimaru really didn't do anything to the "normal residents" of the Fire Country, but what he did was either a bandit or an enemy ninja, or even Konoha's rebellious ninja.
It can be said that he helped Konoha a lot implicitly, but Xia Yan couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard it. This guy was ashamed to ask himself a commission.
He completed the task privately, so Konoha couldn't release the task. Without these tasks, the ninja would have no money, and Konoha couldn't get a commission.
It can be said that Orochimaru secretly robbed Konoha of a sum of money. There is no way out for you to be a hero in the ninja world, because Ninja Village is still counting on those guys to become task shares.
"As for the breakthrough in surgery, it is also a gratifying result."
Orochimaru wasn't bothered about the task either, he quickly took out a scroll, and when the scroll was opened, a pale Uchiha ninja appeared in front of Xia Yan.
Then Orochimaru came to the gate of a prison, and he casually grabbed a delirious person who had been tortured by him.
Looking at this guy's attire, Xia Yan immediately knew that this guy was probably a robber or something.
And Orochimaru didn't hesitate at all, he quickly formed a seal, and then put one hand on the robber's hand, and the other hand on the Uchiha who died for an unknown how long.
In an instant, Xia Yan clearly felt the power of life flowing.
The most important thing is that this flowing vitality is not from Orochimaru.
