Chapter 268 Deputy Minister of the Dark Ministry(2/2)
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to excuse Uchiha Mai, and then asked: "The battle on the front line is not too tight, Orochimaru's counterattack in Iwagakure Village is enough to handle it.
At present, the attitude of Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village is unclear. They may invade the territory with their troops at any time. You are the top combat force in the village. Staying in the village can effectively deter them and deal with emergencies.
A hidden knife is more dangerous, a hidden fist is more powerful when thrown out. You won't be able to go to the battlefield for a while.
You have made such great contributions and your strength has grown by leaps and bounds. Not rewarding you will not be enough to inspire the soldiers on the front line.
Wu, what position do you want to take?"
This is Sarutobi Hiruzen's last trial.
If Uchiha Mai still behaves like a humble gentleman who sacrifices himself for others, Sarutobi Hiruzen may not reuse Uchiha Mai again until he finds the flaws in Uchiha Mai's character.
After two years of observation, it was clear to Sarutobi Hiruzen what kind of character Uchiha Mai was.
At best, it can be said to be smart, courageous, and resolute; at worst, it can be said to be cunning, cunning, and ruthless.
"I can hold any position." Mai Uchiha said.
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could be disappointed, Uchiha Mai added sharply: "But, the status must be higher than Danzo!"
When talking about Danzo, Mai Na Uchiha gritted her teeth and wanted to eat him alive.
Such naked and undisguised disgust made Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes light up and he cheered in his heart.
That's right. If you don't act out of emotion and make excessive demands, that would be too fake.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment, then smiled, a little embarrassed: "Mai, your request is a bit difficult.
Your strength is not inferior to that of Danzo, and you have just made great achievements, so it is reasonable for you to take on a more important position.
But you are too young after all. Danzo has been an old comrade of Konoha for decades, and he also serves as the assistant to the Hokage.
There is only one position with a higher status than him."
That is Naruto.
Uchiha Mai reminded: "I mean, it is a higher position than he holds in the ANBU."
Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen knew what Mai Uchiha meant. No matter how ambitious he was, he would never say in front of him that he wanted to become Hokage immediately.
Danzo is one of the captains of the secret forces, and he is also a powerful man, and his subordinates control the roots.
There are about a dozen positions higher than this position in Konoha, including the top and second-ranking officials in the Government Affairs Department, Medical Department, Security Department, and Education Department.
Among them, the departments most suitable for Uchiha dance are the Anbu and the Security Department.
The Security Department is inappropriate because the top leader of the Security Department is Fugaku, and the second leader is also an uncle of Mai Uchiha.
If you take off one and let Uchiha Mai take over, then it means that you don't get any benefits.
The current head of ANBU is still the sect master, and the deputy head is Orochimaru. Which one is more appropriate to replace?
It doesn't seem appropriate. They are fighting on the front line, and you just removed them from their posts. Isn't this forcing people to rebel?
Even if I don't dare to rebel, I will inevitably think too much. Did I do something inappropriate and made the Hokage angry, so he warned me?
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a long time and said: "In that case, then you should serve as the second deputy minister of the ANBU."
The organization has decided that you will be the deputy head of the ANBU!
Beautiful, Uchiha Mai smiled and said: "There is no shirking the responsibility."
This position is very suitable for Mai Uchiha.
Anbu is the confidant of the Hokage and has a very high hidden status. Before, Mai Uchiha could become the second-in-command in the clan just by becoming a squad leader.
The status of the deputy ANBU minister in Konoha is still higher than that of Fugaku's security minister.
At present, the master of the ANBU department and the other deputy director Orochimaru are on the front line. Not counting the Hokage, Mai Uchiha is the actual leader of the ANBU at the moment.
And when he assumed the position of ANBU Minister, his position as Captain of the Fifth Division of Mai Uchiha had not been terminated.
In terms of the future, this position is even more promising.
Jiraiya had no intention of becoming Hokage, Orochimaru had too many personality problems, and Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted one of them to take over but was not very satisfied with them.
At this time, the door master broke into his eyes.
In terms of strength, popularity, good looks, relationships, and personality, there is nothing wrong with him. He is the perfect candidate for the Fourth Generation.
If there are no deviations, the Yondaime is a master.
After he, the ANBU Minister, is promoted, who will be the new ANBU talker?
Both Orochimaru and Mai Uchiha are possible, not to mention that Orochimaru is the opponent of Master Men, Master Men is not such a stingy person.
But how could an ANBU satisfy Orochimaru? What he wanted was to become Hokage.
Even if the sect master asked Orochimaru to serve as the head of the ANBU, the latter would be disheartened and devoted himself to research, but the actual person in charge of the ANBU would still be Mai Uchiha.
Even if Orochimaru sees things openly and is not disheartened, Mai Uchiha has ten thousand ways to make him disheartened and devoted to research.
