Jiraiya said, paused and continued:
"Your squad leader, Xiang, is really a good person. He is also very capable. You will definitely learn a lot from him."
The flattering look of the man flashed through Sasuke's heart, and he couldn't say anything more. He just nodded and said:
"However, I was out with the squad leader all day today to handle tasks, and I didn't see the squad leader much."
"Really? The mission has already begun."
Jiraiya said in surprise.
"Konoha Hospital, missing medicine case."
Sasuke nodded and gave a short answer.
"Not bad."
Jiraiya pondered for a moment, then said with a smile:
"This matter concerns Tsunade, you have to handle it properly for your future master wife! Haha, this is the first time in these days that she has taken the initiative to come to me."
After saying that, Jiraiya laughed first.
Sasuke was also amused by his master's childishness, and then returned to the case and started chatting:
"Sister Shizune insists that it might be related to Orochimaru. Now there are some clues, and the ANBU companions are investigating."
"Really? That's progressing very quickly."
Jiraiya was a little surprised again, and then asked:
What is your name, squad leader?"
Jiraiya asked.
"Mao Yue Xiyan."
Sasuke answered.
Then, he suddenly remembered another thing and said:
"I just found out today that many members of the Anbu were promoted from the 'root organization' under Shimura Danzo. In this case.
"Could it be that many people still take orders from Danzo instead of you?"
"You've heard it."
Hearing Sasuke mention this matter, Jiraiya also became serious and said seriously:
“There were indeed signs of this during the Third Hokage’s reign.
"However, the two of them have a close personal relationship, and the Third Hokage is relatively easy-going. There is quite a bit of indifference in the command of the ANBU.
"At that period, the two were actually the co-leaders of the ANBU. Ninjas who were members of the Qigen organization were indeed more loyal to Danzo in their hearts."
"But anyway, the Sandaime and Danzo get along harmoniously, so at that time, this kind of thing is not important."
Sasuke understood the hidden meaning of Jiraiya's words immediately and tried to express his understanding.
"Yes."
Jiraiya nodded and continued, "However, since I took office as the fifth Hokage, this contradiction has begun to emerge.
"Nowadays, it seems that ANBU members are all at their disposal. But I am somewhat wary of ANBU personnel who have risen up in the root organization.
"After my observations over the past few days, the ANBU members with a 'Root' background can be divided into three categories."
Sasuke listened attentively, and Jiraiya continued:
"The first type, I call it the state of chaos. They are usable, but not trustworthy. Their performance is that they are very obedient in all tasks. Compared with ordinary ANBU members, there is no difference. However, I currently do not They cannot be fully trusted and do not entrust them with truly important tasks.
"The second category, I call them Bai Zi. They are usable and can be trusted. The typical representative is your Anbu captain, Tenzo.
"Although he is also from the Root organization, according to my observation and even Kakashi's introduction, this person has completely severed the idea of Root and fully embraced the will of fire.
“Judging from his various performances, he is indeed a trustworthy guy.
"Besides, your squad leader Xiang, I think, is also a trustworthy person."
"Well, Master Toad, haven't you ever doubted that Captain Xiang didn't do anything when Konoha collapsed the plan?"
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but asked.
"This person only thought about gaining personal advantage. At that time, the situation was hopeless and the Sandaime was determined to die.
"If the third generation dies, it is very likely that Shimura Danzo will come to power next. He will stand outside the barrier and do nothing. In fact, it is more like taking a stand."
Regarding what Sasuke said, Jiraiya acted very indifferently and waved his hands.
"As for now, it is when I am in power. People like this will naturally put my interests first.
"I think people like him will only be loyal to their position and not to any individual. But to me, as long as he is available, he is a talent."
It turned out that Master had already seen Xiang’s character very clearly.
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly realized.
"As for the third category of people, of course they are Heizi."
Jiraiya continued to turn the topic back to the Root Organization.
"Although they are in the ANBU, they are still loyal to Danzo, and even do things for Danzo. They try to penetrate into the daily work of the ANBU, and then cover my eyes and ears.
"They are just a handful of sand that Danzo mixed into my direct troops."
Jiraiya said in a deep voice, with a hint of chill in his voice:
"Who is the black piece, who is the white piece, and who is the chaos. I am not completely sure now. I just intuitively feel that their loyalty has a lot to do with the length of time they have been away from the Root Organization.
"The younger the personnel who have just entered the Dark Department from the 'Root' organization, the more untrustworthy they are.
"You have to help me pay attention to this."
Jiraiya said slowly.
Sasuke nodded.
Unexpectedly, a place that was thought to be a pure combat force would now have such troublesome things.
"Recently, I have completely frozen the promotion relationship between the Root organization and the Anbu. At the same time, I am constantly looking for opportunities to eliminate all Anbu members with Root backgrounds.
"Speaking of which, when you and Uchiha Itachi join, they are replaced by two ninjas who have just been promoted from the 'Root' organization."
Sasuke nodded silently.
After pondering for a moment, he seemed to think of something again and asked again:
"Since the ANBU cannot fully control it, will Uchiha Itachi join the ANBU and become Shimura Danzo?"
"Who told you that I can't fully control ANBU?"
Jiraiya suddenly turned his head and smiled pretending to be angry.
"The captain, the deputy captain, and the four squad leaders are all trustworthy. The criterion for whether they can be fully mastered depends entirely on whether I feel comfortable using them.
"Now, at least on the surface, they are very obedient."
Jiraiya paused, turned to look at Sasuke and smiled:
"As for Uchiha Itachi, hey, isn't the reason why he is willing to come back because of you, Uchiha Sasuke? As long as our master and disciple are united, I'm afraid I won't be able to control him?"
"treacherous."
Sasuke curled his lips, but couldn't help but remind him: "That madman's behavior is immeasurable in logic. You'd better be careful."
Why is it immeasurable? Isn't he just "put Sasuke's interests first, Konoha second"?
However, this person's idea of "being good to you" may not be in line with common sense.
Jiraiya thought silently in his heart, but responded simply:
"I know it well."
Then he couldn't help but yawned and said:
"Okay, you've been tired for a long day, so go to bed early."
After saying good night to each other, the two of them washed up and went to sleep.
-
The next morning, Konoha, ANBU base.
"Recruited?"
Sasuke changed his clothes, put on a mask, and quickly walked to the door of the detention room to greet Uzuki Yugao.
In the detention room, Morikawa Tatsuya looked weak, as if his life energy had been drained overnight.
At this time, he was lying on a narrow bed, and it looked like he had just fallen asleep.
"Hired."
Maoyue Xiyan nodded, but there was no hint of joy in her tone.
"He was only willing to admit that the first theft had something to do with him. The items stolen, the quantity, and the motive for the theft were all clearly explained."
Mao Yue Xigao introduced the situation.
"However, he just refuses to admit that he is related to Orochimaru."
Qing was chatting on the side.
"What should I do?"
Sasuke just felt bored.
Compared to a straightforward battle, the feeling of not knowing where the enemy is is really unpleasant.
"Linjiao has already gone to verify."
As Uzuki Yugao spoke, she glanced at Sasuke intentionally or unintentionally:
“According to the suspect’s account, all the stolen drugs have been sold to Granny Mao on the outskirts of the city.
"As long as you verify the quantity of the medicine, you can know whether he is lying."
Sasuke suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard the other party mentioning his Uchiha clan's specific ninja weapon supplier.
