Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 513 Anbu Are Short of People

Hiruzen warmly greeted Eaton. After he finished speaking, he took the lead and sat down. His slightly narrowed eyes constantly sized up Eaton.

Not to mention...

Eaton was really suitable!

The more Hiruzen thought about it, the more he felt that Eaton was not a problem. And he had been loyal to him for so many years. Even if he protected the Uzumaki Clan ninja, it could be seen from the side that this person was very responsible and would definitely not betray people in the future.

"Ah?"

Eaton was stunned. He had never seen Hiruzen smile like this. For a moment, he was very uncomfortable. He immediately thought that Hiruzen was planning something, but he was not clear about it now.

"Hehehe..."

Hiruzen stared at Eaton, who was looking at him. In this very short time, he found that Eaton had become handsome.

The more he looked at Eaton, the more pleasing he felt.

Fortunately...

When Iwagakure's ninja suddenly attacked that time, Eaton survived. So, not all of Anbu was eliminated.

"Eaton!"

"Say it!"

"Why are you looking for me?"

Hiruzen's tone was very gentle. His goal was very simple. From now on, he would act like a gentleman, making Eaton feel respect from the bottom of his heart. Then, he would be dead set on working for him.

It was just...

Hiruzen had overlooked one thing.

That was, what he had done in the past had completely hurt Eaton.

It was also because of that series of events.

Eaton had long lost confidence in Hiruzen, but he did not think of Minato. Instead, he thought of Tsunade, so he placed the chips on Aoba, who was Tsunade's student.

When he saw Hiruzen's appearance now.

He just felt that it was very strange.

He was not moved at all.

If it was before, he might have felt that Hiruzen had taken him seriously, but now he felt that Hiruzen was extremely hypocritical.

"It's like this..."

Eaton reported some of Anbu's recent reconstruction plans to Hiruzen, because Hiruzen had handed Anbu over to him, and now Anbu was completely empty. Other than Aoba, there was no one else.

"Right now, there is only one person in our Anbu. I feel that we should first take in some elites and then slowly nurture them. We can't become a big fat man with just one bite, so I want to ask Sandaime-sama for some people!" Eaton stared at Hiruzen and said. He had been thinking about this for a long time, but he couldn't move because this time was the time for Konohagakure to use people. If he wanted to take people to Anbu, it would be almost going against the overall situation of Konohagakure.

Only when the overall situation was in place could there be a village.

Because, no matter how well he managed Anbu, it would be futile in the end once the village was destroyed. There was no way at all.

"You want people?"

Hiruzen's eyebrows jumped. He instinctively wanted to refuse because now was the time of war. Anyone who wanted people would affect the combat effectiveness of the village. If he didn't want to establish a more trusted relationship with Eaton at this critical moment, he would directly refuse this kind of thing.

"Let me think..."

"Well..."

"Do you have any detailed plans?"

Hiruzen resisted the urge to refuse and threw the topic back to Eaton. He wanted to give Eaton a chance, and also give himself a chance. He wanted to hear what was going on with the plan. Not only did he want to hear the feasibility, but he could also find a better reason to refuse after hearing it.

After Hiruzen finished speaking, he quietly stared at Eaton and maintained a smile on his face. He looked like a kind elder.

"..."

When Eaton saw Hiruzen's appearance, he was speechless and somewhat disgusted.

That's right.

He was disgusted by Hiruzen's acting.

If he didn't know that Hiruzen was a very hypocritical person, he might have really been fooled. But if you look at the process with the results, everything becomes different.

"The situation is like this. According to the intelligence from the front line, we have already won, so many ninjas from the front line will come back. That is why I proposed to send a group of people to Anbu at this time. Anbu is really short of people now and can't operate normally anymore."

Eaton slowly said.

What he was talking about now was very important.

He had already endured the state of Anbu being short of people for a long time.

But...

There was no way at all...

After all, Anbu was not someone that anyone could enter. Ordinary people and students of the Ninja School had no effect in entering Anbu.

They still needed elites!

"I don't need these people to work for Anbu all the time. After all, joining Anbu is equivalent to losing the light. As long as they help for a period of time and wait for a new batch of Anbu to be cultivated, we can let them go!" Eaton added.

"En..."

After listening carefully to Eaton, Hiruzen immediately understood what this person meant. It turned out that he was not asking for people randomly, but asking for people rationally after knowing that the war was victorious.

Thinking of this.

In addition to Hiruzen having a good impression of Eaton.

He immediately felt that what Eaton put forward was not an excessive request, but he just wanted to build the Anbu better, and he also knew that the Anbu was short of people, so it was not an excessive request.

"So...Sandaime-sama...you mean..." Eaton was confused as he looked at Hiruzen, who was in a state of deep thought. He was not very clear about what exactly Hiruzen wanted to express.

"Wait!"

Hiruzen suddenly raised his hand, indicating that Eaton should not speak first. His thoughts had already spread out and arrived at a higher node.

That's right!

That's it!

Anbu needed people!

Ninjas who return victoriously can be transferred to Anbu!

Minato's contribution was too outstanding. He directly saved Konohagakure and let the name "Yellow Flash" spread. It was obviously not suitable to throw him to Anbu, so he could give a proper commendation and give Minato a half-sleeve Hokage robe.

As for Hatake Sakumo...

Hiruzen was still worried about how to deal with Hatake Sakumo's matter, so Eaton provided him with an idea.

He could put Hatake Sakumo into Anbu!

Hatake Sakumo was very strong and versatile. He was very suitable wherever he went. Then he could throw Hatake Sakumo into Anbu and let him do shady things. This made Hatake Sakumo lose the possibility of getting the Hokage position.

Moreover.

He could also be used to his fullest.

Hiruzen had never known how to use Hatake Sakumo. If he was used too much, then his achievements would pile up. However, if he was used too little, it would be a waste of his fighting strength.

Now, he could throw it into Anbu to let Hatake Sakumo carry out the assassination mission and cultivate other Anbu. As for Anbu's authority, it still fell on Eaton.

In this way...

He would be able to nurture an Eaton that could replace Danzo and an Anbu that could replace Root, thus having a brand-new arm.

Right now, Anbu only had one member, which meant that everything was new. Because it was "new", then he could put his label on it and make the entire Anbu loyal to him. Then, they could deal with many troubles involving the position of Hokage in the future for him.

"Sandaime-sama, if it is difficult, just pretend that I didn't say it. After all, they have just fought in the front line, and they should enjoy the cheers of the villagers in the light instead of following me in the dark." Eaton thought for a moment and said. In his opinion, Hiruzen was in a difficult situation. After all, thinking of the current situation, he did not have much confidence in such a thing.

"No!"

Hiruzen immediately waved his hand and stared at Eaton with a burning gaze. His eyes flashed with a bright light.

"There is no such thing!"

Hiruzen's tone was firm. He took out a blank scroll and then picked up a brush. He was mentally prepared to write the contents of the scroll.

"I think your proposal is very correct!"

"The construction of Anbu is a must!"

"You didn't mention it during the war. You were already showing consideration for the village in your own way!"

"If I don't help you with this, I don't know how long it will take for the construction of Anbu to be delayed. This is very detrimental to the development and stability of the village!"

"Just like this..."

"Do as you say!"

"I will carefully select a group of elites for you from the returning ninjas. They will be assigned to Anbu and under your command. You will manage them and help you reorganize Anbu!"

Hiruzen said with a smile. After he finished speaking, he began to write on the scroll. What he wrote was Anbu's transfer order. He now began to write a green light for Eaton.

Now he already had his own ideas.

As long as he transferred Hatake Sakumo to Anbu.

Then everything would be solved.

Even if Hatake Sakumo had a half-sleeve Hokage robe, he was not a person who was good at management. After coming to Anbu, he was not the boss. Instead, he would be under Eaton. This could effectively control Hatake Sakumo's position, making it impossible for the latter to reach Danzo's height.

"This..."

Eaton was stunned for a moment. He just said it with the attitude of giving it a try. It was the kind of thing where you need to struggle for a while before saying it. It doesn't necessarily have an effect, but if you don't say it, it will definitely have no effect. After thinking for a long time, he decided to come over and ask. After all, you would not be missing anything even if you ask.

What he didn't expect was...

He had actually managed to win over this matter so smoothly.

"Thank you, Sandaime-sama!"

Eaton immediately expressed his gratitude to Hiruzen. He did not know why Hiruzen's mind changed suddenly, but this was a good thing for him. It could make it easier for him to build Anbu.

The cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice.

Eaton had become the boss of the entire Anbu division, whom he had always dreamed of.

But Anbu had no one.

To be precise...

Anbu had a person, Aoba. However, that person was not someone he could instruct, but his boss. After all, there was a Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal, which was imprinted by Aoba on his tongue.

"By the way, Eaton, what has Aoba been doing all this time?" Hiruzen suddenly asked curiously. When he thought of Anbu, he also thought of such a person who had no sense of existence. Since Eaton and Aoba came back from the front line, he had never heard of Aoba. He almost forgot that there was such a person.

"..."

Eaton was suddenly stunned. He could not say anything about Aoba at all because he had the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal on his tongue.

However...

He couldn't tell the truth.

But it was possible to tell lies and get over it.

"I don't know either. Maybe he is resting in the dormitory..."

Eaton used his own method to prevaricate Aoba casually without leaking Aoba's information and without going against Aoba.

"We, Anbu, have no one at all. I promoted him to Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain, but he is like me. He is a general without an army and has nothing to do all day."

Eaton laughed. The last thing he wanted to talk about was Aoba. After all, it seemed like he was prevaricating it now, but maybe the next topic would be too much to prevaricate. At that time, it would be troublesome and he might reveal some flaws which make Hiruzen find some clues.

Thinking of this.

Eaton was determined to say goodbye to Hiruzen.

Just as he was about to say these words, an impatient knock suddenly sounded at the door of the office. After that, that person did not wait for Hiruzen's answer and just opened the door.

"Old man, didn't I just leave? Why are you looking for me?"

Orochimaru pushed open the door and came in. His tone was somewhat impatient, and his tongue licked his lips carelessly. He looked emotional.

"You're here!"

When Hiruzen saw Orochimaru, he immediately thought of something more important. After that, he looked at Eaton and said, "Eaton, let's stop here today. You can do whatever you want with the Anbu. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me at any time."

"Yes!"

When Eaton was worrying about how to end this conversation, Orochimaru happened to arrive and gave him a suitable reason to leave.

Eaton immediately got up, bowed his head slightly, and walked outside. He did not dare to look straight into Orochimaru's eyes.

He was a bit taller than Orochimaru.

However, in his heart, he did not dare to think that he was taller than Orochimaru. The other party was the Konoha Sannin, and he was the most monstrous among them. Now that he was flourishing, he did not want to offend Orochimaru.

Soon.

Eaton left the Hokage's office.

"Strange."

After Eaton walked out of the office, he took a deep look at the door. He vaguely felt that Hiruzen was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

'Let's talk to Aoba!'

Eaton felt that it was better to talk to Aoba about this matter, and at the same time, go to Aoba's side to read novels to calm down...
