Sakumo... asked to resign.
Hiruzen said calmly,
"Really?"
Hearing his words, Danzō looked surprised. Although he didn't understand why Sakumo would be stupid enough to resign, he was still very happy in his heart.
Hiruzen was also in a good mood. Although there were some accidents in the middle, his goal was still achieved. After Sakumo resigned as Anbu's commander, he would be able to keep Anbu firmly in his hands. Moreover, without the title of Anbu commander, it would not be so easy for Sakumo to become a Hokage in the future.
"Hiruzen, since Sakumo has resigned as Anbu commander, I suggest that I serve as commander of Anbu. Merge Anbu and Root into one!" Danzō said excitedly.
"Snort! Danzō, get over your petty thoughts," Hiruzen snorted. He knew very well what Danzō was thinking. One "Root" makes Danzō jump up and down. If Anbu is handed over to him again, it will not be surprising if the other party directly chooses a coup.
Moreover, after what happened with Sakumo, Hiruzen had made up his mind. Anbu must be under his own control.
"Snort!"
Not getting the answer he wanted, Danzō snorted, turned, and left. After walking out of the Hokage Building and looking at the Hokage Rock being repaired, Danzō secretly made up his mind.
Takuya is really too rampant. Strong strength, deep financial resources, and the backing of the clan... in the future, he will become more troublesome. He must find a way to get rid of the other party. Since he can't do it himself, he will go to the black market and put a bounty on him. Danzō snorted. He didn't believe that Takuya could hide in the village for a lifetime. As long as the other party leaves the village, those bounty ninjas will definitely not let him go!
...
Sakumo's time has come to an end. Due to Takuya's strong intervention, Sakumo's prestige was not only unaffected but was further enhanced by words such as "In order to save his companions, he did not hesitate to bear the infamy."
Although in the end Sakumo resigned from the position of Anbu, such an ending was surprising enough. And Takuya, who played an important role in this incident, once again gained popularity. Neither the villagers nor the various ninja clans in Konoha dared to underestimate the newly appointed young leader of the clan. Even the reputation of Takuya spread to other villages.
For a time, he was unparalleled in the limelight.
...
Senju clan land.
"Sensei, please drink tea!" Kakashi respectfully handed the tea to Takuya.
Takuya drank it all in one gulp. So far, the apprenticeship ceremony was officially completed.
"Takuya-sama, thank you very much for what happened last time," Sakumo said from the bottom of his heart. After a few days of thinking, he had figured it out. Last time, it was he who got into trouble. Because of Hiruzen's distrust, he actually wanted to commit suicide. It's so silly. If it weren't for Takuya, he might have died with infamy by now. And Kakashi, I don't know how much damage he would have endured.
"Easy to do. Sakumo, I heard that you resigned from the position of Anbu commander?" Takuya asked with a smile.
"Yes. The village no longer trusts me. If I continue to do this, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause," Sakumo said truthfully.
"Indeed it is. Then what are your plans now?" Takuya continued to ask.
"Not yet," Sakumo shook his head.
"In that case, why not come and help me?" Takuya asked.
"Help you?" Sakumo's expression was a little confused.
"You know, the clan has many industries and they can be found all over the ninja world. After more than ten years of recuperation, the ninja world has begun to become unstable again recently. The properties under my name have been attacked many times. It's better now that Minato is helping to take care of it, but in the future, if a war breaks out, I'm afraid it will be troublesome. So, I want to train a group of ninja forces of my own. You were Anbu commander. This kind of thing should be easy for you, right?" Takuya stated his purpose.
"Really. Some villages have become increasingly restless recently," Sakumo nodded in agreement.
As the former Anbu commander, he knows a lot of secret information. According to the information he knew, the Third Ninja War was almost inevitable.
"Father, please help Sensei. Anyway, you are idle when you are idle," Kakashi advised.
"You boy..." Seeing Kakashi's expectant look, Sakumo showed a helpless smile on his face. Fortunately, Kakashi is a boy. If he were a girl, I might have to commit myself to him in the future.
"Takuya-sama, then leave this matter to me," Sakumo agreed without much thought. He is really not a character who can sit idle. Since Takuya saved him and was Kakashi's master, it was natural for him to help as much as possible.
"It would be great," Takuya was very happy. No matter how strong he is, he is still just one person. You must form your own force. And with the help of Sakumo, everything becomes easy.
...
As time passed, with the help of Sakumo, Takuya's forces were also formed. Most of the members are orphans and wandering ninjas. Although the time is too short to have substantial combat effectiveness, I believe that in the near future, under the training of Sakumo, these people will become independent ninjas. Although the staff is very mixed, with Sakumo watching over them, he doesn't have to worry about rebellion at all.
At the same time, at the border of Konoha, led by Cloud Village and Sand Village, and united with the surrounding Shinobi Village, they began to continuously provoke disputes on the Konoha border. It can be expected that soon after, the Third Ninja War may break out. These things made Hiruzen and Danzō temporarily have no energy to do anything. The village also calmed down.
It is worth mentioning that due to the strength shown by Takuya, Hiruzen forcibly assigned him the identity of a ninja. Now Takuya is a glorious Konoha Genin.
In addition to these things, there is another thing that makes Takuya very happy. Under his hard work, Kushina and Mikoto both became pregnant. Yamanaka Ono, Nara Miki, and Akamichi Ryoko also became pregnant soon. So far, all six of Takuya's wives are pregnant. So, to revive the Senju clan, the wife selection plan also started to work again.
