Chapter 47 The Five Kage Summit

---

After Kirito became the Fourth Hokage, he immediately launched a series of measures—resolutely.First, the Konoha garrison was integrated.After he stepped down as the deputy captain, he gave this position to Uchiha Yatsushiro.

Yatsushiro, a veteran of the Uchiha clan, not only has extraordinary skills but also possesses unparalleled analytical and leadership abilities. Even Fugaku values him greatly.Additionally, Uchiha A and Uchiha B were assigned to lead teams responsible for the security of the entire Konoha Village.Fugaku continued to serve as the captain of the police force.

The Uchiha clan gradually developed and grew.On the other hand.Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to ask Namikaze Minato to be the captain of Anbu and lead the unit. But Kirito rejected the idea.

The reason?

Namikaze Minato is a powerful force in Konoha Village, so he shouldn't be limited to secret missions.Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew this was just an excuse from Kirito.But he was helpless, because what Kirito said was true.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't let Namikaze Minato just perform various tasks. A ninja of such power, no matter how strong, would just be a tool for the Hokage.So Sarutobi Hiruzen insisted on trying to get his way.

Kirito smiled.He knew Namikaze Minato was close to Sarutobi Hiruzen and couldn't be won over no matter what. So, his refusal was just a bargaining chip.And his true purpose.To transfer some people from Anbu and bring them under his control.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to agree.After all, Namikaze Minato was too important to him.And the person Kirito selected was Kakashi.

Kirito also recruited other outstanding young people as his confidants.

For example…Might Guy.Having been rescued by Kirito before, he always admired Kirito.

Seeing him become Hokage was even more thrilling.Guy's spirit burned with excitement.And Kakashi was also very grateful to Kirito for his previous guidance, including the gift of Jiraiya's book.

So, Kakashi was very happy to join Kiritos ranks.

Kirito also recruited young people from other prominent families.Of course, this included the Uchiha clan and his three disciples...All these outstanding young ninjas were personally led and trained by Kirito.And he established a new organization.Named..Bud.

It symbolizes the future pillar talents of Konoha Village.Now growing sturdily in the sunshine.Kirito even unearthed Yamato from the roots, and Yamato followed Kakashi and others on missions.Yamato was initially in awe of Kakashi, but now he was naturally convinced.

...

The destruction of the roots.The establishment of Bud.It marked the coming of a new era in Konoha Village.Sarutobi Hiruzen, of course, couldn't fail to see Kirito's purpose.If he represented the strength of the older generation of Konoha Village and the attachment to power and position, refusing to let go.Then Kirito represented the new strength.

Like the rising sun, like a bud, full of vitality and endless potential.Kirito used the establishment of Bud to announce that the old generation, like Sarutobi Hiruzen, was outdated.Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally angry.But he was powerless.Though he managed to keep Namikaze Minato, who became Anbu's new captain, Kirito still took away a significant portion of Anbu's power.

As for the other.Uchiha Shisui.Kirito had him secretly imprisoned under the guise of protection.

Kiritos reasoning.There were likely many who coveted Shisui's ocular abilities, like Danzo. And his strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, was too powerful—if used by the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, In order to "protect his safety," Kirito confined him to Nanga Shrine temporarily.The guards were responsible for all-around protection.No contact with anyone was allowed.In this way, Sarutobi Hiruzen lost another key ally.

But he quietly began cultivating Shisui's successor.That is Uchiha Itachi, who was deeply influenced by Shisui.He also recruited Uchiha Itachi into Anbu and made him his new pawn.Even Uchiha Itachi's father, Uchiha Fugaku, was helpless in this.

...

If Kirito were to attack now, it wouldn't be too difficult to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen.However, Anbu under Sarutobi Hiruzen, including Namikaze Minato, had their own talents.If war broke out recklessly, Kirito could still win.But the Uchiha clan would suffer as well.And Konoha Village would inevitably experience heavy casualties due to this internal strife.

As Fourth Hokage, Kiritohad to consider minimizing casualties.Moreover...Kirito sneered.

Killing Sarutobi Hiruzen outright would be too easy for him.Kirito wanted Sarutobi Hiruzen to watch.As his power was disintegrated step by step.

In the end, he would be left all alone, betrayed by everyone, dying tragically and helplessly!And at this moment.Another major event affecting the entire Ninja World broke out.

The Five Kage Summit.
