"Are you kidding me?"
Tsunade was shocked and blurted out.
Her first thought was whether Bai Mu was joking.
"No, what I mean is that they can help you with a lot of things. Alice can handle political affairs, and Esdeath is in charge of security and the execution of operations."
Bai Mu shrugged and said so.
Do you think I'm joking? But you still need to decide who the main person in charge of the Dark Division is. Esdeath and Alice Lise are just temporary workers, so you need to find someone yourself and not rely on them all the time.
Does Alice handle government affairs?
Tsunade was already deep in thought, and with Bai Mu's words, she was definitely not worried. But the problem lay in the choice of someone to assist the Hokage.
She wanted Bai Mu to be on the team, but now it's Alice instead?
Thinking of this, she murmured, "I was still planning to let you take the position of Hokage's assistant..."
Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Bai Mu interrupted her directly: "Forget it, I'm not interested. Don't drag me into this!"
Chapter 102 Hokage's Assistant, Commander-in-Chief of the Security Department
What does "drag someone down" mean?
Tsunade didn't like hearing this and immediately retorted, "That's not a nice way to put it. Besides, I'm asking for your opinion. How can you say I'm not participating? You have to participate. Your opinion is very important."
"I'll say it again: you can adjust the structure yourself, no matter what." Bai Mu stated bluntly that you have to solve these problems on your own.
"At least give me some advice, okay?" Tsunade looked helpless. She felt that she could at least offer some advice.
I suggest that this is necessary; we can't refuse to give it to them!
You want advice?
Okay, no problem.
Bai Mu thought about it and decided that he could still give it to them; there was no problem.
"I've already given you my opinion on the Anbu, and I've also arranged for Esdeath and Alice to help you. Esdeath will be in charge of the Anbu for you, as she's very familiar with this area, while Alice will handle administrative affairs. It's basically settled that you'll be the Hokage's assistant."
"Of course, this is just a nominal position, merely a title. Its main purpose is to assist the Hokage in handling administrative affairs. Whether or not the Hokage is actually assisting him is not important."
"In my opinion, the position of Hokage assistant should be abolished, and advisors are also unnecessary. However, if you want to win people's hearts, then we can continue to select them. It all depends on how you do it."
I've said what I needed to say. The rest is up to you to decide. It's simple for you to figure out what to do. You don't need to ask me about everything.
"Can Esdeath really handle things with the Anbu?" Tsunade looked at Esdeath, who was sitting idly, and was very doubtful about her ability to manage the situation.
"You underestimate me?"
Esdeath was immediately displeased.
"No, didn't you say you were the Great General? In war? Are you good at that?" Tsunade thought to herself, "You told me you were the Great General, invincible in war."
The ice froze over a thousand miles, destroyed the rebel army, and soared to the heavens.
The work in the shadows is different, so isn't it reasonable for me to have doubts?
Esdeath said confidently, "Of course, I have also formed a special force called the Hunters. It is similar in nature to the Dark Guard, but it does not have as many functions. It is only responsible for eliminating rebels and protecting the security of the Empire. Compared with your Dark Guard, it is completely incomparable."
The Konoha Anbu has many functions.
Besides having the power to guard, assassinate, and gather intelligence, they also have the power to interrogate and arrest. I, the hunter I once was, can't compare to them at all.
"Now that you mention it, it seems like you really can do it, but what about Alice..." Tsunade thought about it for a moment and finally accepted it.
You've taken charge of the Dark Side, but what about Alice?
I still can't completely believe she handles government affairs.
Besides, Tsunade felt that Hakumoku could actually serve as a nominal Hokage, so she hadn't given up and hoped that Hakumoku could help her.
"Bai Mu, I think you could be nominally appointed as the Hokage's assistant, and also serve as the captain of the security force. This would help stabilize the voices within the Uchiha clan. What do you think?"
"No, that's not necessary."
Bai Mu glanced at Tsunade, fully aware of her thoughts, and thus refused.
You should know I'm very busy. I'm only nominally in charge of the security department; in reality, it's Mina and Natsumi who handle the specific tasks, while I'm not responsible for the actual work.
Now you still want me to be nominally Hokage's assistant?
Forget it, that's impossible. I've already given you Esdeath to use. You can decide what to do with it yourself. You know, once things stabilize, I need to leave the Naruto world for a while.
During this period, you need to maintain stability in the ninja world. Currently, none of the other four major nations are able to launch a war, especially the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, whose strength has declined across the board and is simply unable to fight.
Therefore, the ninja world will enter a period of peace. Even if some petty thieves are active, it won't have much of an impact. As for the Nine-Tails' rampage...
It will be 51 years before Konoha arrives, so there are at least six months left. Therefore, Bai Mu needs to seize this time to explore other worlds.
As for whether there will be other changes due to my own reasons?
Bai Mu wasn't worried, because he could come back even if something unexpected happened.
And also Tsunade, Esdeath, and Alice Lisze.
They are capable of dealing with invasions from non-Otsutsuki clans.
Obito Uchiha is no match for him.
Even the Otsutsuki...
Yeah, actually it's fine.
Because Esdeath and Alice Lise can hold on, and Bai Mu will definitely be able to return once he knows the situation has changed, he will definitely do whatever is convenient for him. He cannot be bound to one world and wait for others to be explored. He wants to plunder all the heavens and myriad worlds, not just a single world.
"No need, why are you being so decisive?"
Tsunade rubbed her temples, feeling quite depressed, but she had no choice but to agree. However, she still had to mention some of her requests.
Therefore, before Bai Mu could speak, she continued, "Alright, then it's not necessary, but I still hope you can attend the meeting regarding the restructuring of Konoha's organizations."
Attending the meeting, that should be fine, right?
At the very least, you need to intimidate certain people.
Another question I have is, how do you use Orochimaru?
"Also, I'd like to know about Orochimaru... um, what do you think of him?"
Orochimaru?
The number one scientist in the ninja world.
The main villain in the early stages was eventually redeemed and returned to Konoha. He was truly a winner in life, having achieved both immortality and other goals.
It has to be said, Orochimaru is just invincible, there's no doubt about it.
Since Tsunade mentioned him, Bai Mu stroked his chin and said, "He's a talented person, usable, and of great use!"
He paused, then continued, "I suggest that Konoha establish a research department within its organizational structure, assigning him to oversee these tasks, and incidentally, transferring him away from the center of power..."
When Tsunade heard Bai Mu suddenly bring up the idea of a research department and put Orochimaru in charge of it, she was immediately overwhelmed and quickly interrupted him to ask for the reason.
"Wait, why?"
Esdeath raised an eyebrow and countered, "You really don't know?"
Are you sure it's not fake?
I'm starting to doubt your intelligence.
"I understand what that means, but it's not worth doing. Orochimaru won't object to me becoming Hokage," Tsunade said confidently.
Bai Mu ignored her and continued talking about 0.6, giving Tsunade advice.
"Oh right, the medical department is also very important. I remember Danzo's Root had a female spy named what... um, was it Yakushi Nonou? Yes, that should be it. Anyway, she's good at medical ninjutsu, and you can't handle both at the same time. The medical department definitely needs an outstanding person to take charge, so let her shine in the medical department."
Tsunade:"……"
Can't you just listen to me?
You're just talking to yourself.
Of course, Bai Mu's repeated suggestions did inspire her and broadened her thinking, but there are still many problems to be solved.
However, she still had concerns, and frowned as she asked, "We'll handle the medical department as you said. I've heard of Pharmacist Nonou's reputation; she's very suitable to be the head of the medical department. But can she adapt? You know, people from the Root organization aren't exactly normal."
Chapter 103 Jiraiya, have you lost your mind?
This is not prejudice.
It does exist.
Therefore, Tsunade must have had concerns.
Can Yakushi Nonou shoulder such a heavy responsibility?
If she says no, and then makes a mess of the medical department, it could easily cause controversy. She can't afford to make a fool of herself after taking office.
Bai Mu replied, "Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. Don't have such useless thoughts. Do you expect others to help you? Your follower Jingyin? I can only say that she is completely incompetent."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's lips twitched, thinking to herself, "How could I not know?"
Shizune doesn't actually have that ability; you could say she has some talent, but not much.
His medical ninjutsu is passable, but not enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the head of the medical department. He's fine as an assistant, but you can't count on him for anything else.
Therefore, she frowned and said, "I know, that's why I'm hesitant about how to choose someone. Although the Yakushi Nonou you mentioned has excellent medical ninjutsu, his character..."
Why are you worried?
That's the crux of the matter. I worry that those who excel in medical ninjutsu might have questionable character, while those who are of good character but lack medical ninjutsu skills are in a dead end. There's really no way to deal with that.
Bai Mu spread his hands and said, "Although she comes from the Root, it was out of necessity. She likes children and is the director of an orphanage. At 18, is there any need to doubt her character?"
What else do you doubt?
If you ask me, there's no need to doubt it.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. But I still maintain that you have to attend the meeting, but the Hokage ceremony still needs to be held; it can't be skipped."
Although Tsunade says things like she doesn't care about becoming Hokage, she actually values the ceremony when it comes to actually becoming Hokage.
