Chapter 83 The truth comes out, and the group is arrested?
The Hokage's office.
"Danzo, you've given me quite a surprise!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his pipe heavily on the table.
"Hiruzen, this has nothing to do with me, I'm innocent!" Shimura Danzo denied, his face full of resentment.
He himself was puzzled!
How did the stinging ant die?
His role as Hokage's assistant was one he fought his way through the Fourth Shinobi World War, fighting his way out one by one.
It didn't fall from the sky!
Otherwise, with so few members in the Shadow Guard, why is he the only one in charge of Root and a portion of the village's ninjas?
He certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to start by dissecting an unknown summoning beast!
"Innocent? How do you explain the corpses of the stinging ants and Root ninjas in the base?"
"It can't be that the Senju infiltrated your office, kidnapped the Root ninjas, and used them to frame you, can it?"
Danzo Shimura fell silent, then replied with difficulty, "It's not impossible!"
"Heh, heh heh!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry he laughed.
He was already having a terrible headache!
Yan is finding it extremely difficult to defend the battlefield in the Land of Rain.
Sunagakure has been disrupting the village's logistics and transportation lines.
They don't play by the rules!
According to the tacit understanding among the five major powers, in the early stages of the war, the battlefield should be confined to areas outside the five major powers.
First, cripple the other small villages, and then expand the scope.
This prevented the five major villages from fighting to the death, allowing the smaller village to grow up quietly.
The results of it?
The Sand Village disregards martial ethics and frequently crosses the borders of the Land of Fire.
At this critical juncture, Shimura Danzo is causing even more trouble!
If you're going to monitor me, then just do it!
They don't even bother to act; they're just directly coveting other people's ninjutsu!
"Danzo, keep quiet for now, don't cause any more trouble! This is the last time!" Hiruzen Sarutobi warned, "If there are any more problems, I won't help you!"
"Hiruzen, you don't believe me?" Shimura Danzo's eyes widened.
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand: "Go back first, take care of the aftermath, and prepare to head to the battlefield in the Land of Rain to lend a hand to Yan!"
Danzo's methods were too crude and too hasty; he was not suited to remain in the village.
In the past, with the support of the Senju, the Uchiha dared not raise their voices, and would not make a fuss even if they suffered the slightest grievance.
Similarly, times have changed.
The Uchiha clan also broke their silence.
"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
boom!
The door to the Hokage's office was attacked once again.
Shimura Danzo, who had just stepped out the door, suddenly paused. Wait a minute?
Something's not right!
Who can do this and profit from it?
Uchiha? The rented summoning beast has some hidden tricks up its sleeve, so it's inevitable that rumors will spread.
The Thousand Hands? They're pinning the blame for the village's chaos on them, since they're inextricably linked to both instances of unrest in the village.
And what about themselves? Bearing the infamy of coveting ninjutsu, which secret ninja clan would bother with them?
Danzo Shimura glanced back at the office. If he remembered correctly, that base was provided by the monkey!
He didn't believe there weren't Sarutobi's spies inside Root; perhaps, that dead guy...
Okay! Okay!
Shimura Danzo was furious. "How come I never noticed before? You, Sarutobi with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also learned to frame people!"
They even pretended to say, "Help me handle it."
You're in the office now, feeling pretty smug, aren't you!
in the office
"Ugh!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the Anbu to bring Koharu Utatane to the village. Tomorrow's events would require the Utatane family to make some sacrifices for the village.
"Hiruzen, what do you need me for so late?" Koharu Utatane felt a sense of foreboding when she received the call.
These days, the monkey is so annoyed by her that he won't come looking for her at all.
A sudden visit from the door is definitely not a good thing!
"Xiaochun, it's about that base..."
Xiaochun's pupils dilated as she turned to the next room. "You can't just keep targeting me!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Koharu Utatane discussed it.
An argument broke out.
The sound grew louder and louder.
"I am the Hokage!"
The argument came to an end.
Night deepened.
Meanwhile, the Fire Country Liaison Team, a branch of the Jonin class, received a letter from the Daimyo.
The Hokage is extremely busy and has a comprehensive view of the situation, but it is impossible for him to shoulder all the big and small matters on his own.
One person cannot be as good as a group of people.
If one uses shadow clones to conduct official business, it is indeed possible to centralize power.
However, it has one fatal flaw—
Sudden death is possible.
Therefore, the Hokage's Office has subordinate departments such as the Mission Center, the Elder Council, and the Jonin Team, which provide services for the management of Konoha.
Contact with the Daimyo falls within the purview of the Jonin team.
Mitomon, who was on night shift, yawned as he opened the letter from the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Generally speaking, correspondence between the capital and villages followed a strict format.
If the recipient specifies the name of the Hokage or a certain elder or clan leader, it is probably a private matter.
The letter will not be checked by the liaison team.
If the recipient is the Hokage's office or Konoha Village, it's probably just a routine official matter.
The letter is to be archived by the liaison team.
This letter is not a private letter.
"What could be so important in the middle of the night that requires going through formalities at this hour?"
Mitomon tore open the envelope and glanced at it casually.
With just one glance, the drowsiness rolled out of my eyes.
What the hell?
He rubbed his eyes several times in disbelief, making sure he wasn't seeing things.
This... Elder Danzo Shimura betrayed his allies, stationed himself in Uzumaki Village in the name of Konoha, and is suspected of attacking Uzumaki ninjas, colluding with Kumogakure and Kirigakure?!
"real or fake?"
Mitomon's mind went blank for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he immediately ran back to the duty room and pulled the sleeping squad leader up.
This is something I can't keep to myself!
"Bitter! What are you doing?"
"Captain Murakami, take a look at this letter. It's from a daimyo."
"A letter from the Daimyo? How could this be... Hiss!!"
Captain Murakami gasped, flipping through the letter repeatedly, but found no signs of forgery.
"Captain, what do we do?"
"Something terrible has happened! What do we do? Of course, we need to report it to... Remember the gag order!" Murakami gritted his teeth and stamped his foot: "Report it to the squad leader! We can't handle this!"
They're a bunch of idle people with connections in various departments; who's ever seen anything like this before!
Danzo Shimura!
Naruto Support!
They might not know exactly what Shimura Danzo did, but they recognized the words 'Hokage's assistant'!
The village's most powerful figure has betrayed his ally and is suspected of colluding with an enemy country!
Imagine the damage that would do to the village if top-secret information were leaked!
Captain Murakami rushed to the liaison officer's house, pulled the sleeping officer out of bed, said a few words, dropped the letter, and left.
"Squad leader, we know about the no-gag order!"
"This is... ah?!"
The liaison squad leader's sleepy eyes seemed to be burned, and he immediately put on a mask of pain.
No, this won't work, keep reporting!
Same process, same recruitment.
He struggled his way up to become a Jonin class leader.
Having just spent half the night dealing with the incident involving the coveted ninjutsu, Nara Shikashin, the leader of the Jonin squad, received a letter that could only be described as a "thunderbolt".
These are turbulent times!
Previously, there were undercurrents in the village, but now everyone's stopped pretending and is going to be open about it!
With a heavy heart, he took some time to visit the Senju clan's territory before heading towards the Hokage's office.
After Akimichi Torifu took over as advisor elder and took charge of the medical department, Shikako clearly felt the 'balance' from the third generation.
Suddenly, the Jonin class had a lot more Chunin.
He also faced considerable pressure.
I reckon he won't be able to hold onto his position as the Jonin squad leader for much longer.
But what will happen to Lord Danzo in this matter? Will he be arrested?
