"So if you don't have any more objections, let me finish explaining how much of a benefit this would bring to this village. " Izanami said, shaking her head as she looked at Tsunade.
Tsunade said nothing but sat down obediently. Strength-wise, she is outclassed by Izanami by a large margin. And now wealth-wise, she is also very inferior to Izanami. No, it should be said that she never had the opportunity to make a comeback when Izanami paid off all her debts.
"First, the reason I want to re-establish roots is that it is lacking in security against spies. The Anbu is mainly used for infiltration and assassination missions, and they are a bit too overworked. So this is why I want to establish Root. This way, the root would take over the surveillance of the village and coordinate with the security team to handle spies and suspicious individuals.
And with the division of labor divided equally, there would be fewer escaped criminals and forced entries to the village. Additionally, this would help the clan ninjas get more job opportunities.
I mean, think about it, I'm sure there are many ninjas who were crippled during the last ninja wars, barely surviving with the pension they receive. If we give these ninjas, who are good with observation and great coordination, jobs, then wouldn't this help them and the village?
After all, with this at least they will help the village and not empty the village treasury without a reason. " Izanami said as she crossed her legs.
"And even more, we could use the Uchiha clan to guard the root base so that these guys would not have rebellious ideas," Izanami added.
If there is one thing she agreed with Tobirama on, it would be his saying, 'An Uchiha should never be left unattended. '
These guys have some weird curse that if they were left alone, they would somehow become very rebellious. It's like they are desperately needing the attention.
And since she is not here to solve these problems, Izanami decided to help Tsunade a bit. After all, although the Uchiha aren't that hostile to Tsunade, she is still a Senju. And a Senju and Uchiha quarrel is bound to happen sooner or later.
So at that time, in order not to get Tsunade caught off guard, Izanami decided to teach her some safe Uchiha suppression methods. And besides, the Uchiha are excellent guard dogs.
This has been proven many times.
So the thing Tsunade needed to do was become an excellent Hokage, unlike her original self, who was dethroned as soon as she was knocked unconscious during the Pain attack. Izanami wanted Tsunadeto to become an excellent leader and revitalize this village that is on the verge of falling apart.
And whether Tsunade likes it or not, Izanami would definitely help her do that. This is for the greater good of this world and for Naruto's bright future.
….
Izanami and Tsunade talked all night till dawn about this matter. Even though Tsunade couldn't really go against Izanami's words, she still argued about various things. After all, even though she is weak, she is still the Hokage. And as the Hokage, she has her own sense of pride. She can never be a puppet for another.
This is why she argued over the smallest detail in an attempt to win the argument. Well, Izanami also humored her since she also liked Tsunade's stance.
Although Izanami is a bit of a control freak and has a bad temper, she still likes free will. This is why she sometimes even jokes with her subordinates like they were two close buddies. To her, it didn't matter whether someone was not listening to her orders.
A leader's duty is to make them listen and obey his commands. If the subordinates do not listen to him, then the fault is ultimately on the leader since he failed to convince his subordinates to follow him wholeheartedly. A leader must be able to make their subordinates want to follow and obey them voluntarily. This way, there would not be any betrayals.
This is what a true leader should be in Izanami's eyes. And she also pointed out that one could become a leader like this by using her as an example. It is also due to Izanami's high standards that Japan is still lacking in any suitable successors.
With such a big comparison, no sane person would dare to take up the leader mantle from her. That's just asking for a scolding.
As the morning came by, everyone gradually woke up and began to get ready for their daily work. Tsunade brought Shizune and left the mansion very early.
Even though she and Izanami had discussed everything about Itachi taking over the Root, she still needed to make the necessary documents in order to make things legal. And this takes time.
The time that Tsunade lacked since Izanami decided to make the decisions without informing her.
After Tsunade and Shizune left, Izanami, feeling bored, decided to see how Naruto is doing these days. With all the stuff going on, she had somewhat neglected the little guy.
Coming near his room, Izanami used her senses to take a peek first. After finding he was still sleeping, Izanami opened the door and walked inside and came near his bed.
"Hey, Naruto, wake up." She gently ruffled him in an attempt to wake him up. Naruto frowned and tried to go back to sleep, but with Izanami constantly shaking him, he finally opened his eyes.
"Umm, good morning, big sis Izanami, " Naruto greeted sleepily as he rubbed his eyes.
"Good morning, Naruto. You should first wash up and come downstairs. Breakfast is ready, " Izanami said as she used a bit of wind release to dry up the saliva that was dripping from the corner of Naruto's mouth.
" Umm, " Naruto nodded sleepily. He then got up and began to walk towards the bathroom while scratching his back like an old man.
"Well, after you have had your breakfast, you should come to the training ground. Since I will be going out for a while, I might as well give you some training before I leave. " Izanami said, making Naruto freeze in his tracks.
Like an old machine that had not been oiled recently, Naruto turned back and looked at Izanami with a gaze that was screaming about whether what he heard was the truth.
Noticing his gaze, Izanami gave Naruto a small smile that gave Naruto all the answers he needed. So, with a depressed look, Naruto began to walk towards the bathroom.
Don't get him wrong, it's not like he doesn't like training with Izanami. In fact, in a way, the time he trained with Izanami is way better than the month he trained with others. But the reason why he is dejected is that every time he came to practice with Izanami, he would always get scolded for the smallest things.
After all, Izanami is someone who always aims for the best.
