Chapter 54 Popularity
The morning breeze blows through the streets, mixed with the faint smell of blood, and it seems that you can hear the screams of the dead souls.
As a piece of news spread, all the villagers knew what happened last night. The Uchiha clan was wiped out. Except for an orphan, the once prosperous ninja clan had no other survivors.
The person who committed such evil deeds turned out to be the eldest son of his clan leader, Uchiha Itachi!
For a moment, countless people’s jaws dropped.
Of course, many villagers who had been oppressed applauded and even said a lot of vicious words secretly.
Inside the Hokage's office.
The trio of Metkai, Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Kurenai, Inoka Butterfly, and the Hyuga family all gathered here.
Amber's current title is Special Jounin, so she was lucky enough to attend this meeting, but it was not very noticeable.
Sitting across from the crowd, in addition to the two Hokage advisors, were the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Dark Ninja Shimura Danzo.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but everyone always felt that the chief consultant looked particularly ugly today.
"Everyone, I believe you all know what happened last night. Itachi Uchiha has defected and is currently classified as an S-class rebel ninja."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, "For Konoha, this is something worthy of our reflection and vigilance. Because no matter for whatever reason, this is a weakening of strength.
The war had just ended and I didn't want to see anything happen that would affect the situation. You are all jounin, the backbone of Konoha. I will be working hard on you in the next period of time.
Please remember that any behavior that dares to offend Konoha's majesty will be severely punished. "
"Hi!"
As the words fell, all the ninjas roared in unison.
"There's one more thing."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out the information written by Amber, "Regarding the issue of the Security Department, we must replenish manpower as soon as possible. This is related to the stability of Konoha.
What do you think? "
Everyone below looked at each other, this was a poisonous candy, after all, Uchiha's lesson was right in front of them.
"Hiruzhan, you can leave this matter to me."
Danzo Shimura was the only one present who could call Hokage that.
He was already planning, but to his surprise, Hiruzen Sarutobi mentioned it directly. He immediately spoke without caring about his emotions.
"No, this matter cannot be left to the roots."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "The Security Department has to deal with villagers, and your subordinates are not suitable."
Danzo Shimura's face froze, and all his rhetoric was thrown back by such a light sentence.
But I feel a little unwilling to give up like this...
Maybe you can support someone who is close to you to rise to power.
As his eyes rolled, he already had an idea.
"Hokage-sama, I think Amber is capable of doing this."
Kakashi's voice broke the silence, and for a moment all eyes turned to him.
"oh?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, "Tell me your reasons."
"The security department is different from the combat department. It mainly maintains the daily operations of Konoha. The strength only needs to be passable."
Kakashi first blocked some people's words, and then continued: "Therefore, what is important is the ability to handle affairs. The Hokage should be clear about what Amber has shown, so I don't need to explain more.
Although he was born in an orphanage, his love for the village is no less than anyone else. "
"What do other people think?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked calmly.
"Hey, if it's Kakashi, I recognize the person he recognizes."
Metkai was the first to stand up and express his opinion, giving a thumbs up and showing a youthful smile.
"We don't have any objection either."
Nara Shikaku also expressed his stance, and after speaking, he smiled at Amber with a hint of intimacy.
Then came Yuhi Kurenai and other special jounin, all for the same reason, all for Kakashi's sake.
After all, this person is from the die-hard Hokage faction. Who knows if the speech he just made was secretly instructed. If he rashly objects at this time, what if he is written down in the book?
"If it's Amber-kun, my Hyuga family will also support it."
Hinata Hizashi was the last to express his stance, but it was the heaviest, so much so that the Hokage was a little surprised.
Because among the ninjas present, except for a few advisors who did not express their opinions, the rest all agreed.
"Actually, I am also optimistic about Amber."
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, Shimura Danzo suddenly spoke, "The orphanage task team has laid a certain foundation in the village. If he was in charge of the security department, it would probably be a different scene."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Hiss, I didn’t expect this gloomy guy to actually say nice things?
"In that case, Amber, get me a plan and test it first to see if there are any problems."
The security department is very important, so Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say anything. This is a kind of protection for Amber.
"Thanks to everyone's trust, I feel really ashamed and can only do my best!"
Amber scratched her head, the gentle smile on her face was like the sunshine in winter.
In a daze, the others seemed to see a figure that had passed away.
"Okay, that's it for the few things I want to say. Thank you for your hard work."
As the words fell, all the ninjas left the Hokage's office together.
In the corridor.
"Amber, I can't thank you enough for taking care of my little girl."
Hinata Hiashi smiled kindly.
"No, I just take her to play occasionally. Besides, Hinata is a very cute child and very lovable."
At this time, the benefits of Amber taking in Naruto were revealed.
Although the fourth generation has died, the connections left behind are still there.
Many ninjas, including Inoshikacho, were close comrades of Namikaze Minato back then.
It was not easy for them to question the Hokage's decision, but they would definitely have the inclination in their hearts.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you. If you are free in the future, you can come to Hinata's house for tea."
Hinata Hizu was very busy, so he left politely after chatting for a while.
Kakashi was now entangled with Metkai and it was a bit difficult to get out, so Amber was not in a hurry to leave.
"Amber-kun."
Nara Shikaku came over with two companions.
"It's Shikaku-senpai."
Amber greeted politely, "Also, Senior Haiyi and Senior Ding Zuo, thank you very much just now."
"If anything, we haven't thanked you for helping take care of the children."
Nara Shikaku said kindly: "Although our three families don't have as good tea as Hinata's family, we still have delicious food. If Amber is free in the future, you can come over and taste it."
"sure."
Amber quickly agreed.
Naruto often took the three children to the orphanage to play, and sometimes he even didn't go back for several days in a row.
Over time, it becomes difficult to become familiar with it.
This can be regarded as a different kind of good people getting rewarded.
