Tsunade raised his eyebrows, his amber eyes reflected the lights of Konoha outside the window, and also reflected the smiling face of Senju Chen.
"Oh? Tell me, my dear Minister." She drawled her tone with a hint of ridicule, "You have spent so much effort to get me back, and now you are finally going to show your minions?"
Senju Chen laughed and filled the wine glass for Tsunade himself. The refreshing aroma of wine filled the office.
"What did my sister say? I just want my sister, Hokage, to be more comfortable and less laborious." He pushed the wine glass in front of Tsunade, his posture as humble and respectful as ever.
"I hope my sister can promise me a few things."
"How many more? That's not a bad tone." Tsunade picked up the wine glass, but did not drink it. He just gently rubbed the side of the glass with his fingertips and looked at him sharply, "Let me tell you, if it is irrelevant, I, Hokage, will not watch you fool around."
"The first thing." Senju Chen held out a finger and his expression became serious, "I hope that you will order that Strategic Intelligence Division of Konoha and our Public Security Department share information and exchange information."
Tsunade heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly, but he did not express his position immediately.
Senju Chen continued to explain, "Sister, you also know that the predecessor of the Public Security Department is 'root'. Danzo That old guy has been in business for many years, and his intelligence network is dark and It is huge and has tentacles all over every corner of Shinobi World. It is good at assassinations, infiltrations and targeted killings. The original Intelligence Division in the village focuses more on strategic trends and long-term analysis between major powers."
He paused and his tone deepened. "These two are like the left eye and right ear of the village. If they cannot work together and work independently, then the world we see will always be one-sided, and the sound we hear will always be distorted. The lag and deviation of intelligence will be fatal at critical moments."
These words were reasonable and reasonable, and Tsunade couldn't find any reason to refute it. She knew that this was actually Senju Chen's attempt to completely incorporate his "semi-legal" Public Security Department into the core of Konoha's power.. Through intelligence sharing, Public Security Department will no longer be a special agency outside the country, but will be on an equal footing with Intelligence Division, which is directly under Hokage. It will even have advantages in some aspects because it holds the legacy of "Root".
"Okay." Tsunade nodded simply, "I will ask Shikaku Nara of Intelligence Division to go to the Public Security Department to connect with you tomorrow. But, Chen, the final intelligence gathering and decision-making power must be with me."
"This is natural." Senju Chen laughed, "Sister is Hokage, the brain of Konoha. All the information will eventually be gathered to you for your decision."
"And there is no need for Minister Shikaku to kiss Jiraiya. Sister, you have forgotten that I am still the deputy minister of Intelligence Division. I can just go find Minister Shikaku myself."
This Tsunade really doesn't know, "Are you still Intelligence Division deputy minister?"
"Yes, sister, but it was still the Shinobi World war at that time. I was transferred back to the village and took over as the deputy minister of Intelligence Division. Speaking of which, I can be considered an old man of Intelligence Division."
Tsunade is worthy of being the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, and she immediately understood why Senju Chen became the deputy minister at that time. Even she, who was traveling abroad, heard about what Senju Chen did during the Shinobi World war.
It is estimated that the people in the village were afraid that Senju Chen's contribution would be too great and that he would not be able to suppress him in the future. So they simply transferred Senju Chen back and gave him the idle position of deputy minister.
Wanting to understand this, Tsunade glanced at Senju Chen with a little pity, "Okay, what about the second one?"
"The second thing." Senju Chen held out a second finger, "I hope my sister can approve it and allow Public Security Department and Uchiha Clan's Konoha Military Police Force to reach a personnel exchange and replacement learning plan. At the same time, Public Security Department is allowed to recruit new people independently."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became stagnant.
Tsunade placed the wine glass heavily on the table, making a muffled sound.
Her voice turned cold, "Personnel replacement? Do you want Konoha Military Police Force to become your second Public Security Department, or do you want Public Security Department to be filled with Uchiha's eyes?"
She is very aware of this kind of political maneuvering. Personnel exchange is the gentlest and most effective means of mutual penetration.
There was no surprise on Senju Chen's face. He calmly met Tsunade's scrutinizing gaze and said slowly, "Sister, you misunderstood. On the contrary, I made this suggestion precisely because I was uneasy about the current composition of the Public Security Department."
"More than 90% of the Public Security Department's current manpower are the old departments of Shimura Danzō. They are loyal and efficient, but they are tools, killing machines forged by Danzo. They have no ideas, do not know how to adapt, and lack a sense of belonging to Konoha. Such a department is easy to use, but it is also the most likely to cause problems."
"I need fresh blood." Senju Chen's eyes became profound, "I need those young people who grew up in Konoha and have Will of Fire in their hearts to join in to change the gloomy and depressing atmosphere of the Public Security Department. And independent recruitment is precisely to screen out such people."
"As for the communication with Konoha Military Police Force..." He changed the subject, with a meaningful arc at the corner of his mouth, "Sister, do you think it is easier for the elites of Uchiha to come to us to learn things, or the people we send to bring Public Security Department's ideas and principles of conduct to Konoha Military Police Force for better results? Easy? Uchiha Clan has always been feared by the village, isn't it because they cling to groups and exclude foreigners? This actually indirectly breaks up their cohesion, and Uchiha Clan is used to being arrogant. If they are asked to obey the village's orders, they may obey the orders of the village. But if they are asked to learn more efficient and advanced methods and means of handling cases, they will be willing to do so."
Tsunade was silent.
The words of Senju Chen accurately cut through the core of the problem. Rather than trusting Uchiha, it is better to say that this is a more advanced domestication and transformation.
Transferring the elites from Uchiha to the Public Security Department and placing them under the direct control of Senju Chen is equivalent to holding hostages in disguise. Sending people from the Public Security Department to Konoha Military Police Force is injecting living water into a pool of stagnant water, slowly changing its internal ecology.
"You little brat..." Tsunade looked at Senju Chen and suddenly felt a little headache, "You have been thinking about these things all day long, aren't you tired?"
"For the sake of my sister, I won't be tired." Senju Chen immediately switched back to the mode of a well-behaved younger brother, with a bright smile on his face.
"... Okay, I agree in principle to this matter." Tsunade finally relaxed. She knew that Senju Chen was right, a Public Security Department composed entirely of "roots" is the most dangerous.
"Thank you, sister!" Senju Chen beamed with joy and immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Then, the third thing..."
