"Yondaime, if you don't mind, come reform the village with me.
"Abolishing the Anbu is only the beginning."
Minato Namikaze took Uchiha Minamoto's right hand.
"It would be my honor."
Chapter 204: As Hokage, It's Only Natural to Develop [Wood Release], Right?
With two generations of Hokage handling the Anbu issue together, progress was swift.
Because the previous war on the Eastern Front had caused considerable personnel losses, Konoha's Anbu was currently understaffed.
The current number of Anbu members barely reached half its full complement.
Elephant, the detachment leader of the Anbu's First Detachment, had once recommended that the Fifth Hokage fill the Anbu's vacant positions.
Uchiha Minamoto had rejected his proposal at the time.
The Anbu still had just that handful of people.
To be precise.
The Anbu now had one fewer member than when Elephant first reported to him-
Root's last remnant, Aburame Ryoma.
This elite jonin of the Aburame Clan was now being held in Konoha's prison after turning himself in to the Konoha Military Police Force and confessing his crimes.
However, because Aburame Ryoma had turned himself in, his sentence was not too long, and he would still have a chance to get out and make a fresh start in the future.
Minato Namikaze looked at the list of Anbu members in his hands.
Uchiha Minamoto had specially marked several people on the list.
Minato Namikaze was very familiar with one of them-Kakashi Hatake.
But there was also a name unfamiliar to him-Tenzo (Yamato).
Minato Namikaze looked at Yamato's ability profile, where [Wood Release] was written in large, unmistakable characters.
The profile did not explain Tenzo's background in detail. It did not even include a surname, just an ordinary code name.
"Fifth Hokage, is this Anbu code-named 'Tenzo' a descendant of the Senju Clan?"
