Sarutobi Hiruzen was flipping through a thick stack of documents. He was used to browsing documents quickly and could quickly extract key information from them.
'Make laws!' 'Arrest criminals!' 'Detect spies!' 'Participate in wars!'...
Sarutobi Hiruzen summarized key information one by one, and with every additional piece of information, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart sank a little.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had finally finished reading the last page, leaned back in his office chair.
"Teacher Tobirama, what kind of monster did you release back then?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen could only hope that the Uchiha clan could not understand the true power of this document, but he felt a little uneasy when he thought of the happy look on Uchiha Tomoki's face at that time.
Although he was worried, it was okay. After all, he was able to understand the meaning of the deliberately obscure expression of the second generation so quickly because his nearly 30 years of career as Hokage gave him keen insight.
No matter how talented that brat Uchiha Tomoki is, it's only in combat. Maybe he can vaguely see some of the meaning in it. No, he should have already seen it, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy when he received that statement.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen still has enough confidence that he will let Tomoki know what it means that experience is the key.
However, as a native of the ninja world, he obviously had never read time-travel novels and did not know that time travelers existed.
On the other hand, after returning to the Root base, Danzo first contacted Orochimaru through secret channels and placed an order with him.
He then sent Root ninjas to keep an eye on Tomoki. Knowing how powerful Tomoki was, he did not send his subordinates to their deaths. Instead, he chose a very low-level surveillance method. He did not seek to know the details, but only wanted to know the approximate range of Uchiha Tomoki's activities every day.
In Danzo's mind, Tomoki is a much greater threat than Fugaku.

On the way back, Tomoki and Fugaku were making their way back, and Tomoki kept apologizing to Fugaku.
After all, he promised to help Fugaku solve the Itachi problem, but under the circumstances at the time, the third generation was about to lose his temper, and with Fugaku's intervention, Tomoki finally chose to leave.
"You are too kind, Chief. Today is really an eye-opener. I believe in your ability and will be able to solve Itachi's problem. There is no need to rush."
Fugaku was in a very good mood, and the way he called the clan leader was sincere, and it became more and more fluent.
Seeing that Fugaku really didn't have any major objections, Tomoki had no choice but to nod.
He still reminded, "Fugaku-senpai, in addition to spending time with your family at home, don't take Itachi lightly. Sarutobi Hiruzen's brainwashing ability is very strong, and Itachi may be more inclined towards the village in his heart."
Tomoki deliberately downplayed this. According to Tomoki's estimation, Itachi had completely stood on the side of the village at this time.
"Don't worry, clan leader. I will keep an eye on Itachi."
Fugaku assured confidently that because of his many years as the clan leader, Fugaku had paid less attention to Itachi's growth. Now he had full confidence that he could get Itachi back on the right track.
As long as you are happy, Tomoki thought silently in his heart as he looked at Fugaku who was full of confidence.
After parting with Fugaku on the way, Tomoki returned to the security department.
In the security department, the four captains were still discussing the specific plan. Youshu just looked at the situation and did not join in.
Tomoki's next goal is of course to allow the Uchiha clan to survive in Konoha. To achieve this, he must withstand the various suppressions from the Konoha F4 centered around Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Youshu is not the kind of person who would just take a beating without fighting back. Besides, it's said that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.
The first thing Tomoki had to do after deciding to take the initiative was to cut off the Konoha high-level officials and Konoha.
After all, the Hokage is the Hokage of Konoha, but Konoha is not just the Hokage's Konoha.
The biggest problem now is that although many ninjas have to swallow their anger in the face of high-ranking officials such as the Sandaime, they are still more willing to be close to the Konoha high-ranking officials than the Uchiha clan.
This was partly due to suppression from Konoha's top brass, but more due to problems within the Uchiha clan itself.
The Uchiha clan is arrogant, conceited, and looks down on others. To be honest, not many people are willing to deal with the Uchiha clan. The only exception is during war.
Tomoki divides Konoha into three groups.
The Hokage faction, led by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the main leaders of Konoha F4, with the main forces of Anbu and Root, are the enemies that Tomoki needs to deal with.
The ninja factions represented by the various ninja clans in the village are extremely scattered, and their relationships are either close or hostile to each other. There are Nara and Akimichi who are close to the Hokage, and Hyuga and Aburame who have a bad relationship with the Hokage. This is what Tomoki is trying to win over.
Finally, there are the largest number of Konoha residents and the ninja village faction within them. Most of them are influenced by the Hokage's long-standing public opinion and are hostile to the Uchiha. This is the group that Tomoki wants to win over and is the group that best represents Konoha.
The Hokage faction is a mortal enemy and must be eliminated by any means necessary; the Ninja faction is powerful but its members are scattered and not united, so you can choose to win over some of them and establish normal contact with the rest; the Villager faction is a force that must change its image to blend in and become united.
After figuring out the situation in Konoha, the first thing Tomoki had to do was to show goodwill to the ninja clan and the villagers.
The general plan has almost been thought out in his mind, but now Youshu is sitting alone in the office and always feels that something is missing.
Then he took out the list of members of the Security Department, and after screening them one by one, he finally selected a ninja.
The Uchiha clan, as a warlike and arrogant clan, actually dislikes writing work.
However, as a complete department, the Security Department has its own system, so it also has a special archive management office.
However, in such a large security department, the Archives Management Office has only five members, so it is not a simple matter of compiling and archiving the documents.
Most of the files submitted by the Uchiha field staff often contain a large number of errors and omissions, so before each archiving, the five people in the Archives Management Office have to check them carefully, correct any errors found, and contact the corresponding field staff to supplement any omissions. The work is quite heavy.
Tomoki came to the archives department without saying a word, and watched the five people work quietly.
Of course, most of the attention was focused on a ninja in his early 20s who was using shadow clones and working hard with his original body to classify documents.
This can be considered a benefit of the Archives Management Office. All members working in this department will be taught the art of shadow clones on their first day on the job.
She watched the other party carefully review each document, making corrections and marks from time to time. Unlike the other four people, she did not look impatient or anxious, but just completed her work bit by bit.
Feeling about the same, Youshu said directly, "Uchiha Mitsuha, come with me."
Mitsuha has known Tomoki for a long time. He is a talented ninja in the family and joined the Security Department two years ago.
Mitsuha has always had a very good impression of Tomoki, because the documents Tomoki provided when he went out on field work were the most worry-free documents she had ever encountered in her six years of work. Although she would check them carefully every time, there had never been any mistakes or omissions.
However, when she met Tomoki for the first time this morning and knew that he was the new minister, Mitsuha was somewhat amazed at his abilities.
She had just become a Chunin at the age of 15 and was fortunate enough to pass the assessment and join the Security Department as a data clerk. Her whole family was very happy at that time.
She couldn't imagine how outstanding Tomoki was when he became the clan leader and minister at the age of 15. Then she saw Tomoki kill Uchiha Ryuto in front of everyone without mercy. The cruel method was something she had never seen before.
Therefore, Mitsuha followed Tomoki in fear all the way, and after entering the office, she closed the door very carefully.
Then she heard words that changed the rest of her life.
"Uchiha Mitsuha, be my secretary."
