"Clan Chief Fugaku, why are you here suddenly?"

Hyuga Yuzuru was sitting on the chair in the office. The shadow clone was numbly released from maintenance. A burst of fatigue and memories appeared in his mind, causing him to squint his eyes and rub his temples.

Uchiha Fugaku's expression was calm and he lowered his head slightly, showing his respect for the Hokage: "I need to report some root work to you in a timely manner. At the same time, I also want to hear the Godaime-sama's guidance on the root.

Since Hokage-sama has decided to reform Konoha from top to bottom, I think the root should also be included in the reform.

So, I came here, hoping to listen to Hokage-sama’s advice on roots.”

Hinata Yuzuru sorted out the documents on the table, signed the ones that the shadow clone had not signed, and piled them into a pile, putting them aside.

He put his hands in front of him and supported his chin a little tiredly, as if he was a little troubled by his words.

"Suggestion..."

Hinata Yuzuru looked embarrassed, thought hard for a moment, and said: "I have some ideas that are not yet mature, but I haven't thought about it clearly yet."

"Ah, otherwise, Chief Fugaku and I should think about it together."

Hyuga Yuzuru looked suddenly enlightened and said with a smile: "There are indeed many fundamental problems now. I think they need to be changed, but I haven't figured out how to change them yet. Why don't I propose them now? Fugaku

Patriarch, let’s think about it together?”

"I..." Uchiha Fugaku lowered his head slightly and said softly with respect: "I am willing to share the worries of Hokage-sama."

Hyuga Yuzuru asked him seriously in a distressed tone: "Clan Chief Fugaku, does he think there is confusion in authority in some places in Konoha, Roots and Anbu right now?"

"Indeed." Uchiha Fugaku replied softly: "While accepting the root, I discovered that in addition to providing talents for the Anbu, the root itself also has the authority to independently perform tasks, or in other words, needs - such as spying

Intelligence, execution of assassinations, dispatch, training of spies, etc.

The ANBU are also responsible for similar tasks.

Moreover, the information between the two sides was not in circulation. Sometimes when the Anbu conducted an investigation, they discovered that the Anbu had already completed the relevant tasks in advance.

Sometimes, the two sides will also create constraints on each other.

I think the root and dark parts do need to be reorganized with clearer responsibilities."

Hyuga Yuzuru looked like he suddenly realized something, and then said: "Then Chief Fugaku, do you have any good suggestions? As the person in charge of the root, I think that during this period of time, you have fully mastered the root.

Condition.

What is suitable for the Roots to do, what responsibilities the Roots can handle well, and what responsibilities the Roots should be solely responsible for... I want to hear your opinion."

Uchiha Fugaku raised his eyes without any trace and looked at Hinata Yuzuru's expression.

He just looked at himself with slight distress at this moment, and he didn't seem to have any prejudice against himself because of the 'gossip' that was everywhere in Konoha.

Doesn't he know how he became the root minister?

When Uchiha Fugaku thought of this, he was a little unsure for a moment - if it was said that the third generation did not tell the whole story to Hyuga Yuzuru in order to cover up his embarrassment.

Then the temporary Hokage in front of me might really be possible...

He was silent for a moment.

In the end, Uchiha Fugaku still spoke cautiously: "I think these matters should be decided by the Hokage himself. I believe you can consider the overall situation of Konoha and come up with a complete solution."

Hinata Yuzuru refused to give up, and continued to say with a helpless and distressed look: "It's just a discussion, why should the Fugaku clan leader be so cautious? Even if you give an opinion, clan leader, I will make a decision after comprehensive consideration.

Please also speak out."

Uchiha Fugaku squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and made a decision.

Why not just take a look at Hinata Yuzuru's attitude?

"Then please, Hokage-sama, forgive me for overstepping my bounds."

Uchiha Fugaku spoke slowly and calmly: "I think that the part where Genji has the most experience and the most outstanding advantages at present is to train and use intelligence ninjas to carry out activities such as spying, espionage, alienation, sabotage, and assassination.

The ANBU's own functions should return to their essence and be more in line with the Hokage's escorts themselves.

It's better to let the ANBU become the shield and spear on the bright side beside the Hokage.

The ANBU retains the authority to perform special tasks, but reduces the corresponding intelligence work and serves as the Hokage's guard..."

Uchiha Fugaku was talking eloquently, but Hinata Yuzuru couldn't help but shook his head while listening.

"Anbu is a special unit with assassination tactics, not the Hokage's personal bodyguard. As the Hokage, I don't need anyone to protect me."

Hyuga Yuzuru raised the important point, and then said: "Chief Fugaku, if you follow what you said, the ANBU can be disbanded."

Uchiha Fugaku looked embarrassed and acted as if he had made a mistake. Why did he say, "I thought too superficially, and I asked the Hokage to give me some advice."

Hinata Yuzuru looked at him and screamed in his heart.

This is coming prepared.

But he still quietly 'suggested' in a calm and unhurried voice: "I think the Roots and Anbu should be completely divided into two departments."

"The root department is specifically responsible for intelligence investigation, espionage activities, and intelligence analysis inside and outside Konoha. It has special law enforcement powers and can conduct secret investigations and, when the evidence is conclusive, arrest enemies who endanger Konoha's security."

"Anbu still retains the authority to assassinate, special operations, and Hokage's direct troops, but is not responsible for intelligence investigations."

"It's just that the Anbu has the right to investigate, learn the intelligence obtained by the Roots, and participate in the arrest of 'dangerous persons' by the Roots."

Hyuga Yuzuru paused, and then said: "Of course, the Nebu has the right to arrest and investigate dangerous personnel, but it does not have the right to execute privately, or to sentence personnel. It needs to be temporarily left to the Hokage to judge. After that, I intend to establish a Ministry of Justice.

Let’s leave this point to be discussed later.”

Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a moment, and then said: "In other words, will the root be changed into a pure intelligence organization?"

"To be precise, it is a secret service department that has similar responsibilities to the Konoha Security Department, but is mainly responsible for the external department. It uses the most elite intelligence ninjas to carry out secret work such as lurking, monitoring, investigation, intelligence collection, sabotage behind enemy lines, and public opinion propaganda.

Special powers organization.

In fact, in my plan, for Konoha, especially for Konoha in the future, the tasks and powers shouldered by the roots can even be said to be greater than they are now.

Like ANBU, it is a special force directly under the Hokage."

Hyuga Yuzuru gave the definition, but Uchiha Fugaku still had difficulty understanding his concept.

Seeing this, Hyuga Yuzuru just smiled: "Of course, I just said that it is a long-term plan, and I only want to say it now and discuss it with the Fugaku clan leader. It is far from time to start reforms.

For now, it's probably still the same as it is at the root, but it's just more focused on intelligence collection. If it's an intelligence organization, that's right.

The Anbu will focus more on forming special operations teams, using the most elite ninjas to form special forces to deal with the strongest enemies and the most difficult tasks with the strongest strength.

It gives full play to the high mobility and high combat capabilities of elite ninjas, and is a special team that can only be joined by the best of the best among ninjas."

Hyuga Yuzuru stopped talking briefly and had no intention of explaining it clearly to Uchiha Fugaku. In fact, whether it is to transform the roots into a 'security bureau' or to evolve the ANBU into a 'special forces', it requires a lot of time and personnel training.

Only through ideological education and technical and tactical training can a good organization be established.

What's more, he may not be able to use it right now - many times, what he looks at is the new problems and challenges that Konoha will need to face in many years to come, even after peace, and prepare for rainy days.

Uchiha Fugaku understood a little bit, lowered his eyes, and analyzed the gains and losses in his heart. Finally, he said softly: "Hokage-sama, does the root department still need to continue to be responsible for cultivating talents for the ANBU, and does it still have the power to recruit new personnel?

"

"The ANBU selection will be reformed in the future, and the best will be selected from the best. There is no need to train them by themselves.

The root department is naturally responsible for the personnel selection of the root department. Of course, I will come up with an effective assessment plan in the early stage."

Hyuga Yuzuru really has no intention of getting involved in the selection of personnel for the Roots and Anbu - the reason why the Hokage is so tired is because all the power is too concentrated, so small that even personnel transfers and promotions need to be made by the Hokage.

He prefers to give departments a certain degree of autonomy and allow them to give full play to their subjective initiative.

There are still relatively few people in Konoha, and the Hokage is quite busy. If Konoha expands and the population increases in the future, if it continues like this, the multiple shadow clone techniques will not be able to be done.

Of course, it is impossible to ignore it completely. At least in the early stages, Hyuga Yuzuru has no choice but to do it himself. At the very least, a complete system and leadership team must be established.

So here comes the key - what is the Uchiha Fugaku in front of him?

Hyuga Yuzuru looked at Uchiha Fugaku and smiled slightly: "I think that the head of the Fugaku clan does not need to worry too much. There is no urgency to reform the root."

Uchiha Fugaku couldn't figure out Hinata Yuzuru's thoughts, but seeing that he didn't make any major cuts to his own power, he felt a little complicated.

He actually vaguely expected that Hinata Yuzuru would directly cut off the roots or dismantle the roots directly - maybe doing so would give him an excuse to convince himself, without having to be so entangled and wavering like now.

Faced with Hyuga Yuzuru's gentle attitude, there was no sign of suppressing him at this moment. Even Uchiha Fugaku had to lower his head and said sincerely: "Hokage-sama has a profound plan, and I am just a little curious.

I also hope that I can take precautions, prepare in advance, and serve the Hokage-sama."

"Clan Chief Fugaku is interested." Hyuga Yuzuru chuckled a few times: "You said before that there was still information to report?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku did not hesitate and told all the things he had planned to tell Hinata Yuzuru.

"After taking over the root, there are some things that I think need to be reported to the Hokage alone.

For example, some of Roots' laboratories - according to internal investigations, Roots not only has multiple underground research facilities in Konoha, but also has privately established multiple secret laboratories outside Konoha, and even cooperated with the rebel ninja Orochimaru.

The collaborative research was still in operation until Danzo's defection.

There are also several orphanages that the roots continue to support outside Konoha and within the Land of Fire.

According to the investigation, these orphanages are the root source of manpower. Danzo will adopt a large number of homeless orphans through the orphanages, and select those with superior qualifications to join Konoha's orphanages for detailed investigation, evaluation, and qualified ones.

The roots will be added for cultivation.

The annual financial expenditure of these orphanages is not small. If the foundation does not need to continue to be responsible for the selection of new candidates, perhaps we can stop the operation and assistance of these orphanages."

Hinata Yuzuru listened to his words thoughtfully.
