From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Now he has no worries about food and clothing, and although his brain is indeed not very smart, his theoretical grades are also good, at least he is not ranked as a poor student.

But the problem is that his control over ninjutsu and his own chakra is simply terrible.

He couldn't use any of the three body techniques, and his chakra was always disordered.

Those who know some secrets, of course, understand that this is because the chakra in Uzumaki Naruto's body is too huge, and at the same time, there is the power of the Nine-Tails, so it makes it difficult for him to control his own chakra.

How can you use ninjutsu if you can't even control chakra?

But these people all know that this is just a process. Once Uzumaki Naruto begins to master the power in his body, his strength will inevitably improve by leaps and bounds.

But most people don't know the real situation, especially Uzumaki Naruto's classmates, such as Uchiha Sasuke. It is impossible for him to know the truth.

So, in the eyes of the students at these ninja schools, Uzumaki Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage, was a disgrace to the Fourth Hokage, a lame loser who couldn't even master the Three Body Technique. Uchiha Fugaku didn't really inquire about Uzumaki Naruto's whereabouts, but simply asked when he happened to remember...

Then he said to Sasuke: "Although you got first place in the exam, you can't be too proud. You have to get along well with your classmates. Do you understand, Sasuke?" Sasuke nodded and said: "I understand, father."

Compared to Uzumaki Naruto's somewhat miserable life, Uchiha Sasuke's life is very happy.

Although his father was a little strict on weekdays, which made him a little scared, overall, he had a father and mother who loved him, and an older brother who doted on him very much.

Born into the Uchiha clan, one of the most wealthy families in the ninja world, he had never lacked for food, clothing or anything else since he was a child.

More importantly, he is the youngest son of the Uchiha clan leader and is also very much loved in the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, he was extremely talented and intelligent. He always ranked first in the grade in both theoretical and practical exams, and was therefore known as a 'genius'.

While other kids were still learning the Three Body Technique in school, Uchiha Sasuke had already learned the Great Fireball Technique in the Uchiha clan.

In school, because he is a good student, strong in ability and handsome, he has a large group of fans.

Anyway, he has been living a happy life so far.

He is simply the epitome of a winner in life.

"Father, my brother hasn't come back yet?" Uchiha Sasuke asked after thinking for a while.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't say anything, and at this time, Uchiha Mikoto came over, rubbed Sasuke's head, and said with a smile: "Your brother went out on a mission and hasn't come back yet, but he should be soon." "When my brother comes back, I will tell him that I got the first place in the exam again." Sasuke said excitedly.

"Okay." Uchiha Mikoto said with a smile.

At this moment, a member of the Uchiha clan came over from a distance and said in a deep voice: "Lord Fugaku, it's time to discuss matters." Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly, as if he was very resistant to this kind of thing.

However, he didn't show it, instead he waved his hand at the 2.9 Uchiha clan ninja and said, "I understand."

The Uchiha clan ninja nodded upon seeing this, then turned and left.

Uchiha Fugaku then sighed, his expression slightly helpless and a bit conflicted. Uchiha Mikoto reached out and held his hand, whispering, "Fugaku."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at his wife, then at his son, and said, "Don't worry, everything will be okay." After that, he stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

"Mom, what happened to Dad?" Sasuke asked curiously.

Uchiha Mikoto smiled and shook her head, saying, "Nothing, I just don't feel like working. I feel like being lazy."

"Hahaha, so father also has this idea? I thought I was the only one." Sasuke said happily.

Uchiha Mikoto smiled and nodded, but there seemed to be some worry in the depths of her eyes.

After finishing the clan meeting, Uchiha Fugaku returned home looking very unhappy and didn't even eat dinner.

It seems that something depressing is looming over the entire Uchiha clan.

Even the head of a wealthy family like him was feeling a bit breathless.

Right

Chapter 639: Stormy Konoha Village, Shisui and the Anbu.

That night.

The Uchiha clan also quieted down, as if the night was always this quiet.

The door of a room was opened silently, and then a figure walked out of the room.

He carefully observed the surrounding situation and found that there was no problem. Then he quickly closed the door. When the door made a slight "click" sound.

The figure disappeared outside the door.

Instantly stop the water.

The Anbu's office building is right next to the Hokage building. As the Hokage's direct combat unit, this building was built here to protect the Hokage.

Unlike the Hokage Building, it was already late at night and all the lights in the Hokage Building were off, and no one was working.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not too old, but he is certainly not young either, so it is not inappropriate to call him an old man.

Therefore, he rarely works all night unless there is something really unfinished.

Compared to the tranquility of the Hokage Building, the people on the Anbu side are obviously much more active.

As the Hokage's direct subordinate unit, the Anbu has great power, very great power, so the more things they have to control, the more responsibilities they have.

Because of this, their work is very busy.

The Dark Department is a relatively independent department, so the system is very large and is not closely related to other departments.

For example, in Konoha, there is its own separate intelligence department, which is specifically used to collect intelligence from various countries.

But within the Anbu, they have their own intelligence department that is unique to the Anbu.

There is also a staff department that is unique to the Anbu.

Anyway, the entire Konoha is a large system with a complete structure, so the Anbu is actually also a small system with a complete structure.

It is precisely because the Anbu's system is very mature and can operate independently that it supports the confidence of the Hokage.

The Hokage has a mature and functioning system in his hands, which allows him to bypass the so-called Konoha high-level officials and directly implement the will of the Hokage. It is very powerful.

Of course, if you look at it from a more "advanced" perspective, you will find that the power of the Anbu is actually too great, which is a deformed development for the entire Konoha system.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The Anbu is, after all, a special violent agency, or a spy agency.

In any mature system, a period when the intelligence agencies are extremely powerful essentially represents the abnormal development of the system.

Of course, when this phenomenon occurs, it also represents that the power of centralization is extremely huge.

For example, the East Factory and West Factory in history, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and some Sibling Army, when these institutions reached their peak.

This means that the imperial power and the head of state are extremely powerful at this stage.

In Konoha, at least during Sarutobi Hiruzen's time, he did achieve the position of Hokage and controlled most of Konoha's power. This is centralization.

In short, the Anbu is still actively operating and has not calmed down just because it is late at night.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is the eldest son of the Third Hokage and the recognized heir to the Sarutobi family.

Now, he is the director of the Anbu and Sarutobi Hiruzen's most trusted right-hand man. After all, he is his own son.

Therefore, he also controls the power of the Anbu.

But Sarutobi Shinnosuke is a very low-key person, and what is particularly strange is that he is obviously a spy chief directly under the Hokage, but he has a very good relationship with the top leaders of Konoha, and people always praise him when they mention him.

This is unique in the history of the Anbu.

Because when you are directly under the Hokage, you must be a minion, and minions cannot get too close to those 'prey', otherwise they will lose the trust of their master.

When the Hokage no longer trusts an Anbu leader, it means that the leader is about to reach the end, perhaps of his career, or perhaps of his life.

But Sarutobi Shinnosuke is an exception, because apart from his identity as the head of the Anbu, he is also Sarutobi Hiruzen's biological son. In this way... this trust is beyond words, and no matter what he does, it will not affect these.

So he is also a weirdo in the Anbu.

As the son of the Hokage and the boss of the Anbu, normally, Sarutobi Shinnosuke doesn't need to work particularly hard. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, it's actually a very high level.

But Sarutobi Shinnosuke is very down-to-earth and very busy at work.

Belongs to a man with a strong sense of career.

Later, when he looked for a wife, he looked for his colleague, who was also a member of the Anbu.

To the extent that they go to and from get off work together, and are busy together when necessary, so their time is very synchronized.

This led to their son, Sarutobi Konohamaru, being extremely miserable. His parents couldn't find him at all, and the work of the Anbu was a very secretive matter. Obviously, he couldn't have too much communication with his family, especially children, who were prone to let slip and be tricked.

So Sarutobi Konohamaru is obviously the grandson of the Sandaime Hokage, the son of an Anbu boss, and the young master of the Sarutobi family, but in the end he looks like an orphan...

His grandfather is the Hokage and is extremely busy.

His parents can't see anyone...

outrageous.

In Sarutobi Shinnosuke's brightly lit office, he clutched a document in his hand. A half-empty cup of long-cold tea sat on his desk. His brow furrowed slightly, as if he were faced with a serious problem. Just then, there was a knock on his door. Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked up and said, "Come in." As soon as he finished speaking, the door slowly opened, revealing Uchiha Shisui.

After seeing Uchiha Shisui, Sarutobi Shinnosuke frowned even more tightly and looked helpless.

Over the past few years, Uchiha Shisui has developed a very good relationship with Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke himself intended to win over Shisui, and Shisui was indeed an Uchiha who was loyal to the village and had a direct relationship with Uchiha Kagami.

So whether in public or in private, the two of them have something in common.

Therefore, compared to five years ago, Shisui was much more relaxed when facing Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and he did not have the restraint of meeting his boss.

"What's wrong? You look sad when you see me." Uchiha Shisui said with a smile.

But it was also obvious that his smile was forced and he looked like he was worried about something.

"You're more than just frowning. To be honest, I get a headache when I see you. ... Because your appearance will inevitably bring news that I don't want to hear, and this news, at this point in time, is likely to bring great disaster to the village." Sarutobi Shinnosuke said in a tired tone.

Uchiha Shisui was slightly stunned. He was also a very smart person. After hearing this, he realized something and asked, "Is there something bad going on?"

"To say it's 'bad' is an understatement. It's not an exaggeration to say it's terrible," said Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

After a slight pause, Sarutobi Shinnosuke handed the document in his hand to Uchiha Shisui, completely disregarding the level of confidentiality, which also showed that he trusted Uchiha Shisui very much.

Then he said, "Take a look for yourself. In the past two or three months, we have intercepted four or five attempts by hostile forces to infiltrate the border. Through some clues, we have deduced their identities."

"The Hidden Cloud Village!?" Uchiha Shisui looked at the document with surprise in his eyes.

"That's right, the Hidden Cloud Village, this village where the fighting faction is prevalent, is really worrying. The First and Third Ninja World Wars were both initiated by them. I am very worried now." Sarutobi Shinnosuke said.

The Hidden Cloud Village, one of the five major ninja villages, is indeed very violent.

During the First Ninja World War, after the death of Hashirama Senju, it was the Hidden Cloud Village that took the lead and challenged Konoha.

Of course, the final result of that war led to the complete division of the five major ninja villages. The reason was simple: four of the five Kage died... and deep-rooted hatred was planted in each village.
