"The one just now was Senju Natsuhiko, our Minister Anbu, right?"

In a corner of this barbecue restaurant, Nara Shikahisa looked at Akido Choza who had just sat down and asked in a low voice.

Kaiichi Yamanaka, who was also sitting on the side, also cast his gaze, he seemed a little embarrassed and worried at this moment.

Nara Shikahisa and Akimichi Dingza really don't have much contact with Xia Yan, but he actually knew Xia Yan in real terms.

At that time, Xia Yan was not a minister, not even the captain.

Therefore, he has a very comprehensive understanding of Xia Yan's information, and they have dealt with each other head-on.

Yamanaka Kaiichi will never forget that he was the one who tried to induce Xia Yan to tell a lot of secrets.

Even though Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked him to do this, in essence he offended Natsu.

He was very careful and concealed about this matter, and told Nara Shikahisa and Akimichi Dingza.

And some of the solutions he got were that the three of them would transport personnel to Anbu together.

In their view, Xia Yan should be standing behind Namikaze Minato, and supporting Xia Yan can be regarded as supporting Namikaze Minato, and at the same time, it can be regarded as easing their relationship with Xia Yan.

It's just that there is no specific meaning to doing so, and whether Xia Yan has changed some of his views, it is impossible to know.

But it's better than they do nothing, and then silently watch and wait for others to make a decision.

Being passive at any time is not something that people like. Even if you have to fall into passiveness, you must find a way to make up for it.

This is what they are doing now, especially when the three of them join forces to transport personnel, to a certain extent, they are also putting pressure on Xia Yan, telling Xia Yan that they are not separated.

"Yes, it's the new minister." Qiu Daodingzuo nodded, and then he sat down: "He's here for a dinner party. Guess who invited him?"

"How do I know." Nara Shikahisa spread his hands, and he was still very casual with his old friend and old man: "After all, I don't know him well, and I don't have more specific information."

"From the Uchiha clan." Akimichi Dingza lowered his head slightly, and then whispered.

"I met the elder of the Uchiha clan before, but I didn't expect that he brought his granddaughter to see Minister Xia Yan.

It is said that his granddaughter is a classmate of Minister Xia Yan, and Minister Xia Yan also admitted the meeting. "

"Uchiha?" Shikahisa Nara and Kaiichi Yamanaka were taken aback for a moment, and then they immediately looked around with some vigilance.

It is not a common practice for people from the Uchiha clan to meet with Minister Anbu.

After all, Uchiha's situation in Konoha is very delicate, although everyone pretends not to know.

But in fact, none of the people who can have their own foothold in the swamp of Konoha's high level is blind.

They are too aware of Uchiha's situation, and as Anbu, who is directly under Hokage's troops, meeting Uchiha is really intriguing.

This kind of meeting is really hard to be defined as a simple meeting, and there are probably many unknown secrets in it!
Even so, they seem to have been in touch for a long time.

Thinking of this, the two of them involuntarily began to observe the crowd around them.

Anbu is shadowless and invisible, even if someone from their family enters Anbu, they will honestly say nothing in the end.

Of course, they don't dare to ask, just listen.

Once caught, not one person will be unlucky, maybe even a whole family will be affected.

They are smart people, and they all know what to do.

But anyway, their duties will also come into contact with Anbu, especially Kaiichi Yamanaka has dealt with Anbu more often.

Therefore, they more or less know Anbe's style. It's hard to say that all the seemingly normal diners in this barbecue restaurant are actually members of Anbe!
If this is the case, they have to be careful when talking.

After all, no one knows whether some of the things they said will usher in huge trouble.

Although Anbu is different from Genbu, Anbu can also do what Root can do.

Especially this minister, but a truly ruthless master.

"Aren't you too careful?"

Seeing this scene, Qiu Dao Ding Zuo couldn't help shaking his head speechlessly, and then he said helplessly.

"Actually, I think you can rest assured, because I noticed just now that they used a sealing barrier, and I guess I don't want others to hear it."

"Is that so?" Shikahisa Nara nodded slightly, while Kaiichi Yamanaka remained vigilant, obviously this couldn't make him too relaxed.

"I understand." Suddenly, Nara Shikahisa showed a smile: "It seems that Minister Xia Yan is not worried about what he did today being noticed. After all, he has already had some contact with Uchiha, isn't he?"

"It's true to say that, but before that, it was just association, and there was not enough evidence."

Haiichi Yamanaka said with some difficulty, even if he thought so.

"Although he took the initiative to do this this time, no one knows what his real purpose is."

"I think it's better for us not to think about the purpose, because it will make things too complicated."

Shikahisa Nara had already thought things through, he suddenly smiled and said.

"Once anything is complicated, the result may not be good.

And if Anbu really disperses this place, I don't think they will let us stay, even if you are the boss here, Ding Zuo.

So don't overthink it and just act as if everything is normal. "

Nara Shikahisa has indeed thought clearly, and it is really not a good thing that some things seem too complicated.

What's more, in his opinion, although Xia Yan contacted Uchiha as a Senshou clan, it was weird no matter how he looked at it.

But thinking about it carefully, standing behind Xia Yan is the Fourth Hokage, so it is normal for the Fourth Hokage to contact and win over various families.

Of course, there are still some things he didn't say, that is, it is much better for Xia Yan to focus on Uchiha than on them.

"Is that so?" Haiichi Yamanaka still convinced his old friend Shikahisa, he was silent for a while before asking: "Then, shall we deal with it normally?"

"Of course it's normal." Lu Jiu nodded with a smile, and then he took a sip of sake silently: "Besides, I think Minister Xia Yan has more important things to deal with now."

"Uchiha?" Kaiichi Yamanaka is also a very smart person, and he immediately knew what Shikaku meant: "Indeed, they are the ones who need to be dealt with most now."

"Look at the methods of our minister." Lu Jiu put down his teacup, and he slightly restrained his smile: "If necessary, maybe we can help the fourth generation."

Nara Shikahisa used a very euphemistic term, after all, helping the Fourth Hokage is helping Xia Yan, at least it seems to be the case so far.

After all, Nara Shikahisa is the head of the Konoha Government Affairs Department. In terms of the size and importance of the department, it can even be said to surpass Anbe.

But in terms of authority and departmental power, it is natural that Anbu will crush them.

In particular, they also know that the Anbu is expanding now, and the size of the Anbu will double after the expansion.

And this department has completely stood behind Minato Namikaze, which naturally occupies a great advantage.

Naruto will continue to be replaced, which is unavoidable.

How to ensure the survival of oneself and the family after the complete handover of Hokage's power, and not affect oneself from such a change, is the most important thing.

What's more, Nara Shikahisa also guessed that Uchiha's situation is really not optimistic now.

It can be guessed from the previous situation of the security department. After all, one team is open and the other teams are isolated. It is obvious that Uchiha's hearts are not in harmony.

Such disparity is very dangerous, and it is hard to say that the division of the family started from such an environment.

Nara Shikahisa thought even more. He was wondering when did such a decision start, and whether there was a shadow of the third generation of goals in it?
After all, if the third generation refused to agree, I am afraid it will be difficult to do this.

The reason why the third generation agreed is probably to split the Uchiha clan from within, so that they can weaken themselves.

But Uchiha, who has weakened himself, naturally doesn't have so much trouble, and it is in Konoha's interest.

However, this may not be in the interests of the Fourth Hokage.

The fourth Hokage is different from the third Hokage, and everyone knows this even if they don't say it.

It is the most powerful to win over a complete family so as to make the power in your hands stronger.

No matter how bad it is, Uchiha who is willing to get closer to Konoha must be on his side.

So Xia Yan started to contact them, started to help them, and started to guide them how to do it.

Even, in Nara Shikajiu's psychology, I am afraid that Xia Yan is ready to help them complete the power change in the family!
"If this is the case, then it will be interesting. Maybe I can find a way to help them secretly."

Shikahisa Nara put down the sake in his hand. Although he analyzed a lot of things in his heart, his expression remained calm as before.

This kind of thing can't be said nonsense, and even if he wants to help, he has to help where the third Hokage can't notice, but where Xia Yan can obviously notice.

Or, let the people in the security department tell Xia Yan that he has been helped.

It is a little difficult to do so, but this difficulty is not a big deal in the eyes of Nara Shikoku.

"You say, what will happen to that elder Uchiha looking for Minister Xia Yan this time?"

Nara Shikahisa touched his chin, and he suddenly said funny.

"I'll take a gamble, it's a matter within the security department."

"Tch, betting with you is the most boring thing."

Qiu Dao Ding Zuo shook his head boredly, he glanced at Lu Jiu and said angrily.

"You can win every time. It's the same from childhood to adulthood. It's not interesting at all."

"Yes."

Maybe it was a little relieved, Yamanaka Kaiichi also smiled.

"Hurry up, or I'll tell your wife, something you secretly hid in the living room"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Shikahisa Nara coughed suddenly, and he interrupted Kaiichi Yamanaka directly before speaking with an unhappy face.

"Why are you so annoying, well, I admit defeat, I think it's a matter of the security department.

But it’s not just about the security department.”

Indeed, the troubles that Uchiha Shin encounters now are really not just a matter of the security department.

On the one hand, the security department has already made him burnt out, and the problems within the family also make him unable to let go.

More importantly, the Fourth Hokage is not in Konoha, so he cannot get any strong policy support.

Without such support, he would not be able to recruit too many people in the security department.

After all, the impression the security department left on Konoha residents was really bad, which made countless people suspicious in their hearts. They didn't know that there were other situations in a family.

Civilian ninjas didn't dare to go, and family ninjas didn't know whether Uchiha had a brain twitch or if he got some kind of support.

They didn't dare to make a decision lightly, everyone knew that if they stood on the wrong team, they would be doomed.

Therefore, during the period when the Ministry of Security was open, they really didn't recruit many people.

The second point is the family issue.After that clan meeting, Uchiha really broke with others including the patriarch.

Such a break is unbelievable and frightening.

This has also caused even doves to dare not support him [-]% now.

It can be said that Uchiha is really in a difficult situation now.

He really wanted to get rid of his dependence on Xia Yan, and he really wanted to avoid being controlled by Xia Yan, but sometimes he had to choose to compromise.

Because form is stronger than people, if you don't compromise, you can only wait for death!

Xia Yan opened up an idea for Uchiha Shin, leading him to a path he had never imagined.

However, this road is definitely not easy, at least for Uchiha Shin, the dangers and difficulties on this road are really far beyond his imagination.

"True Elder, what happened to Uchiha recently is very interesting."

After Xia Yan waited for the waiter to serve all the dishes and completely left the soundproof barrier, he suddenly spoke.

"Opening a team to allow civilian ninjas to come in, I have to say that this is a return to the essence of the Security Department. The awareness of the real elders is really admirable."

"Minister Xia Yan."

Uchiha really looked at Xia Yan carefully. Although he looked extremely tough during this time, he really had enough suffering in his heart.

He is really worried now, is Xia Yan mocking him, because what he did is really bad.

"But on this matter, I actually have some different views."

Just when Uchiha Makoto was suffering the most, Xia Yan spoke again.

"I don't know, is the real elder willing to listen to my nonsense?"

"How could Minister Xia Yan's words be nonsense?"

After Uchiha really heard what Xia Yan said, he suddenly became a little relieved.

nonsense?How can this be!

If Xia Yan really said some nonsense to him, then it is impossible for Xia Yan to let his granddaughter enter Anbu, let alone start recruiting some Uchiha ninjas into Anbe.

Xia Yan made such a gesture, in his opinion, he might save some face for himself.

After all, Qiong is also here, and Xia Yan seems to trust Qiong very much, even though he doesn't know what Qiong is doing in Anbu.

"If that's the case, then I will simply express my own opinion,"

Xia Yan nodded lightly, seeing that Qiong and Lianhua had started to barbecue actively, he knocked on the table lightly and said slowly.

"The actions of the true elders are indeed open source. After all, only in this way can Uchiha control the security department, but at the same time find a way to integrate into Konoha.

However, real elders sometimes need to be flexible in their tactics. "

"Workaround?"

Uchiha really raised his eyebrows, and then he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about what Xia Yan meant by flexibility. Could it be that what he did was too radical?
Or did he not start from other aspects to make himself appear smoother?

"True elder."

At this moment, Lianhua spoke slowly while roasting the meat.

"The flexibility in Xia Yan's mouth probably means flexibility, and I think Qiong can understand this."

"Dome?"

Uchiha really looked at Qiong with uncertainty, he really didn't understand what these young people meant for a while.

He didn't tell Qiong what he and Xia Yan planned to talk about when they met this time. Could it be that Xia Yan had already guessed and communicated with his granddaughter?

It's just that he soon felt that the situation was not right, because his own body seemed a little confused.

But soon this confusion turned into thinking, and finally turned into a touch of confidence.

Uchiha really saw Qiong's changes completely in his eyes. He really found that the granddaughter who needed to ask his own secrets about some things back then had really changed a lot.

"I think I get it."

Qiong nodded slightly, and she looked at her grandfather confidently with a smile on her face.

"Actually, Bu Xiayan's meaning is very simple, that is, Grandpa obeys the rules too much."

"Following the rules too much?" Uchiha was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he seemed to realize something: "What do you mean?"

"Xia Yan has said many times that following the rules is a good thing, but too much following the rules will sometimes put you in a cage."

Before her grandfather could finish speaking, Qiong gently turned the raw meat on the barbecue grill and said softly with a smile.

"Under normal circumstances, we have to use rules to constrain our behavior, so as not to make ourselves an unscrupulous person.

But when necessary, we can take advantage of the loopholes in the rules or even break the rules to do something that benefits everyone.

What grandpa is going to do now is not only conducive to the reintegration of the family into Konoha, but also conducive to Konoha's regaining Uchiha and the strength of the Security Department.

So if you follow the rules too much and encounter many obstacles in your actions, then this will be a very bad thing. "

Uchiha really looked at his granddaughter inexplicably, even though his granddaughter was repeating Xia Yan's words, but being able to say such words has proved her growth.

Even if she is still gentle and calm on weekdays, and compared with other clansmen, she doesn't have the slightest radical ideas.

But in essence, she has undergone tremendous changes. Her vision has become higher and her mind has become deeper. Anbu really deserves to be a place to train people.

"So, what do you think?"

Uchiha really wanted to see what his granddaughter thought, so he simply returned the question to Qiong.

"Lianhua, according to Anbu's information, your family is now scattered.

And there are quite a few people whose surname is not Qianshou, right? "

Qiong turned to look at Lianhua. They have been working together for a long time, and they have a good understanding with each other.

"Yes, there are still quite a few people like this. They are still task ninjas, and they have not served in Anbu or other departments."

Qiong nodded slightly, her voice was still so cold, but her attitude was very cooperative.

Having said that, Uchiha really understands what it means.

To put it bluntly, this is a show that has the nature of a performance, and at the same time allows Xia Yan to intervene in the security department!

Use a group of seemingly civilian ninjas, but actually belong to the members of the Thousand Hands to enter the security department.

Let all outsiders think that they Uchiha recruited civilian ninjas, and they intend to do this seriously.

At the same time, these people can also be used to secretly form a force to control the security department. The most terrible thing is that he really has no way to refuse this matter.

Because whether it was Xia Yan who thought it up and asked Qiong to say it, or it was his plan in the first place.

This proposal is very attractive, and it has indeed solved my urgent need.

"Those people have their own things to do, though."

At this moment, Xia Yan suddenly spoke. He glanced at the barbecue that had begun to smell and smiled slightly.

"So I can't give you too much, after all, giving too much seems too deliberate and too fake.

It only needs to have a signal, a model, and a certain amount of publicity, and I think this is enough. "

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Makoto felt hot on his face at this moment. Just now he was wondering if Xia Yan wanted to control the security department, but when he turned around, he found that the other party didn't have much such intentions at all.

Of course, maybe not now, after all, Anbu is far behind the dying Security Department.

Maybe there will be in the future, but the current problem cannot be solved, and it may not be able to attract the minister's attention in the future.

"I understand."

Thinking of this, Uchiha nodded heavily.

"Then I will sincerely invite some civilian ninjas to come in, especially the ninjas approved by Minister Xia Yan."

"Besides that, you have to be more ruthless."

Xia Yan asked about the smell of the meat, so he picked up the chopsticks to pick up some barbecued meat for Uchiha Shin, Qiong and Lianhua respectively, and then he said with a smile.

"Voices in the family are indeed troublesome, but it is inevitable to silence these voices when necessary.

If you can't even unify your thinking, you can't do great things.

And after the unity of thought, a program of action is needed.

You need to tell your people what you're going to do, why you're doing it, and what you'll get out of it.

But you should also pay attention to some things when you are aggressive. The first is not to expose yourself, otherwise it will bring you some troubles in the future.

Therefore, I think true elders should do it themselves. The fewer people who know about it, the less chance of exposure.

At the same time, you can't do too much. Your people are your best support and support, and they are also our most beneficial assistants in the future.

So the person you want to attack is the kind of person who guides those ignorant tribesmen, makes them think things they shouldn't have, and makes them radical.

'Beheading' on the battlefield is also the most effective way to both destroy the morale of the enemy and destroy their beliefs.

After all, most of the time, they don't know why they are fighting.

In the end, I guess those with you also have different voices.

Then be decisive and let them speak out, whether it is intimidation or temptation, this is all your own business as a real elder. "

Having said that, Xia Yan stopped.

He glanced at Makoto Uchiha, whose body was trembling, and his face was pale and sweating, and he couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Do not unify thinking to do things, and do not know how to formulate a program of action when doing things.

How could there be any result in doing so?
And now that a decision has been made, the ruthless hand must be ruthless.

But at the same time, it is necessary to distinguish clearly, some people must be wooed, and some people must be resolved.

Xia Yan must be grateful for the education he received in his previous life, and he even remembered something that happened in his previous life in the free country on the other side of the ocean.

The black civil rights leader who chanted 'I have a dream' was killed because he was a thought leader.

Think about how he can make black people stop when black people are rioting, and then put on a suit and solve the problem in a peaceful way.

So from another perspective, can he make people take off their suits and put on military uniforms when peaceful means cannot be used to solve the problem?

In addition, there is another very interesting example, that is the 'Black Panther Party' that has become a Hollywood mascot.

Xia Yan seems to remember that the Black Panther Party at the beginning was an organization with a unified thinking and a clear program of action.

But then the ghost knew what happened, which caused their internal thoughts to split, and they could no longer integrate and unify.

And this kind of split caused them to have no clear plan of action. Slowly they became a "non-threatening" organization, and finally went to Hollywood.

Of course, there are too many such examples, and perhaps this is the reason why other countries do not teach politics.

After all, this thing has another nickname, also called Dragon Slaying Technique.

Gently picked up a piece of roasted meat, Xia Yan put it into his mouth, and the delicious taste of the meat immediately spread around his mouth.

I have to say that the barbecue restaurant opened by Qiu Dao's family is really delicious. Xia Yan has tried it before, and he likes it very much now.

"I understand." After a long time, Uchiha Shin nodded lightly: "I will. I will try hard to do it."

"The real elder really made a courageous decision." Xia Yan sighed slightly, and he tapped on the table lightly again: "This kind of thing is actually just hard work, and hard work often leaves room for it. Is there a way out?"

"Of course not!" Uchiha gritted his teeth: "I will do my best!"

"Then look forward to the good news from the true elder." Xia Yan showed a smile at this moment: "After all, it is man-made. After taking this step, the true elder must make some changes."

Uchiha Zhen nodded silently, he didn't speak this time but was thinking about what Xia Yan said.

And Qiong silently picked up some barbecue for her grandfather, she really wanted to say something but couldn't speak.

During the time she entered Anbu, she learned too many things and was exposed to too many things.

Especially as Xia Yan's personal secretary, like Lianhua, she has access to almost all Anbu's secrets.

And this kind of contact also let her know what the dark side of this world is like.

Although it would not completely break her heart, she was still affected to some extent.

She is determined now because she knows that her grandfather made such a choice.

If this kind of thing can't be ruthless, the end will definitely not be good.

Although Xia Yan's words were very serious, he was still helping his grandfather after all.

Of course, Qiong didn't know whether Xia Yan had other ideas.

But at least she knew very well that without Xia Yan's help, Uchiha might really be in trouble.

You know, just some of Anbu's arrangements and evaluations of Uchiha that she has come into contact with are extremely negative!
"By the way, Xia Yanjun."

After a long time, Uchiha Shin seemed to have calmed down, he raised his head and suddenly asked in a low voice.

"If, standing with me, former comrades-in-arms are unwilling to cooperate with me for various reasons.

Even they started against me, and I couldn't do anything about them easily.

More importantly, I don't want to be cruel to my former comrades-in-arms.

In such a situation, what should I do? "

"Such a situation is indeed a headache. After all, people still have to miss the old love to be more worth following."

Xia Yan nodded lightly, it is indeed worth thinking about such a question.

When people miss old feelings sometimes, they can create a 'worth following' image.

Especially when some people can be killed or not killed, showing this side of yourself will attract more respect and followers from your subordinates.

Of course, this is indifferent and purely based on interests.

From a practical point of view, sometimes it is really difficult for a person to attack certain people.

Just like Xia Yan, he himself would not be able to attack Senshou Xiangzhen who took care of him.

Even if he really annoyed him, at most Xia Yan would let him become a 'free body'.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan planned to talk about his thoughts, but just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion in the barbecue restaurant.

Such a commotion made Xia Yan and our table couldn't help turning their heads to look over.

But after Xia Yan came to their noisy place for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, what a true elder has to do is very simple, not even difficult."

Xia Yan tapped on the table lightly, his eyes were still fixed on the people who made the noise.

"What do you say, Xia Yanjun?" Uchiha looked at those people curiously, his expression seemed a little inexplicable.

"I'm actually working on something similar, and this one looks pretty good, so."

When Xia Yan said this, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Look with your heart, listen with your heart, and you will know."
