Chapter 250 Witnesses and physical evidence are present

Ye Shan left, as if a cloud had quietly left, leaving behind the resentful Orochimaru sad in the operating room.

To be honest, Ye Shan really wanted to slap the ungrateful Orochimaru to death, because everything the other party did was far beyond his bottom line, but at the last minute Ye Shan changed his mind.

Even a ninja who has committed heinous crimes has his own value. Orochimaru has been obsessed with human body research for many years. It can be said without exaggeration that he is an authoritative expert in this field. In the entire ninja world, he is second to none and no one dares to claim to be the first, so Yeshan chose to forgive him.

In addition, there are quite a few direct supporters of the Third Hokage, and Orochimaru seems to be the leader, which makes Ye Shan even more cautious. If Orochimaru is killed, even if he has an unforgivable crime, it is hard to guarantee that the ninjas under him will be uneasy, which is likely to cause unrest within the village. Now Ye Shan does not want to toss around, he wants to devote all his energy to the reform of the new Rain Country, and he cannot accept an unstable internal group.

So everyone should stop shouting about equality all the time. Orochimaru was the only one who could save his life. Try another guy? He would have been slapped to death by Ye Shan a long time ago.

After exiting the sewer, Ye Shan put his hands behind his back and looked around. The ninja on free alert came forward to greet him: "Lift the highest alert status, order the Root Anbu to immediately arrest the top leaders of Orochimaru's gang, and lock them all up!"

"Yes!"

"Notify the village's on-call jonin to gather in the conference room for a meeting overnight. The meeting will be chaired by Deputy Hokage Uchiha Fugaku!"

"Yes!"

"Go call Tsunade and tell her that if you keep gambling, Orochimaru will be crippled!"

"..."

Ye Shan issued orders as he walked and unknowingly arrived at the door of a half-open flower shop. He was surprised to find someone peeking through the crack in the door. He couldn't help but become interested, so he took the initiative to walk in and open the door to see who was so brave.

"Ah! Good evening, Hokage!" a half-grown child greeted in a hurry.

Ye Shan stroked the child's soft hair, and his voice lost its harshness and became gentle: "What's your name? Why are you hiding here and watching in the middle of the night? Don't you know that it's martial law now?"

The half-grown child shrank his neck, glanced at the ninjas standing outside the door with their hands tied, then looked at the smiling Hokage, and replied carefully: "My name is Yamanaka Yukon, I was just peeking out of curiosity, and I have absolutely no ill intentions."

"Yamanaka?" Ye Shan touched his chin, turned his head and asked a ninja, "Is he a member of the Yamanaka clan?"

"To answer Lord Hokage, he is indeed a child of the clan, and the child of the fourth house of the direct line." The ninja belonging to the Yamanaka clan quickly stepped forward and replied, even mentioning the child's identity, fearing that Lord Hokage would blame him.

Ye Shan nodded and asked, "Are all the members of the four branches of the Yamanaka clan named after Yuzu?"

"Exactly!"

"Interesting, who is Yamanaka Yuura to you?"

"She's my biological sister." the child replied.

Ye Shan's smile became more intense. He squatted down and looked into the child's eyes. He carefully wiped the dust off his face and said, "Don't be afraid. Your sister and I were close companions in the past. We have a kind of friendship."

The sound of footsteps was heard, and Ye Shan looked up, only to see Yamanaka Yuura walking towards him in thin pajamas. The moonlight shining through the thick clouds just happened to shine on her body, making her look lonely.

"You are too polite, Hokage. In the past, we were just ordinary friends, not as close as you say." Yamanaka Yuura put her right hand on her left arm, stood there gracefully and smiled.

Ye Shan was in a trance for a moment. It was hard for him to connect the weak housewife in front of him with the heroic ninja on the battlefield. He couldn't help but sighed: "It's been a long time since we last met. You have become beautiful again, Yuura."

The sudden praise made Yamanaka Yuura blush slightly. Come to think of it, you ran into someone's store late at night and praised someone for being beautiful. If it weren't for Ye Shan's status, the security department would have easily arrested you for hooliganism and taken you out for tea.

Yamanaka Yuura stretched out his hand to smooth the yellow hair scattered on his shoulders, and whispered softly: "Hokage-sama, why did you not rest so late at night and mobilize so many troops to do something big in the village?"

"Nothing, just destroyed Orochimaru."

"..."

"You are still as funny and humorous as ever. If possible, can you leave here? I am worried about causing unnecessary trouble tomorrow."

The Hokage interviewed a young woman late at night, which was definitely international news. The reporters would pounce on him like sharks smelling blood, just for the explosive news of the UC editor.

"Okay." Ye Shan stood up, walked slowly to the street, and said uncomfortably: "If you have any problem, just tell Nara Shikaku. I will definitely help if I can."

"Thank you, sir!"

Yamanaka Yuura bowed in thanks, and her freshly combed hair cascaded down playfully, adding a touch of softness.

"You're welcome."

Ye Shan waved and left, followed by several ninjas. The wooden door of the flower shop closed gently, and the woman's voice of reproach rang out imperceptibly.

Compared with the turbulent political life, Ye Shan yearns for an ordinary life more. However, from the moment he stepped into the gate of the Uchiha clan, he knew clearly that an ordinary life would never come again.

"Do you have any delicious recommendations? I'm hungry after being busy all day." Ye Shan asked.

Several ninjas looked at each other for a moment and said carefully: "I know a ramen restaurant that tastes good and is not far from here, but I don't know if it is closed for rest."

Ye Shan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do we need to take a detour?"

"Just go straight, no need to take a detour."

"Great, I'll treat you to some ramen." Ye Shan said with a smile.

How could the ninjas dare to answer? It is one thing for the Hokage to be polite, but it is another thing for you to accept it without knowing what is good for you.

Inside a narrow ramen shop, the owner was clearing away the dishes, looking like he was going to close the shop for a rest. Ye Shan lifted the door curtain and walked in. After taking a closer look, he asked, "Are you still open?"

The shop owner, who was about the same age as Ye Shan, looked up at the customer and said, "Open for business."

Ye Shan found a seat in the middle and sat down. He looked at the menu on the wall and said, "Please give me a bowl of seafood ramen. Thanks for the chopped green onion and coriander."

"Stop standing there, order your ramen and sit down to eat together."

Several ninjas shook their heads in unison and said, "We are not hungry."

Ye Shan's face was stern: "Even if you're not hungry, sit down and eat something. It's freezing cold, you'll feel cold if you don't eat something warm."

Upon hearing this, several ninjas could only sit down carefully. They did not dare to order other flavors of ramen and all ordered the same seafood ramen as Naruto.

Soon, the steaming ramen was served. The Yamanaka clan ninja stood up and brought vinegar and chili peppers and asked, "Does Hokage need any?"

Ye Shan smiled and nodded, took the vinegar and added a lot of it, so much that the ramen soup changed color, then added some chili peppers, stirred slowly and said: "You all should eat less chili peppers, this stuff tastes delicious, but it is easy to get hemorrhoids after a long time. Nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids is not a joke. We want to be the ambitious young people of Konohagakure, not the young people with hemorrhoids."

Several people nodded hastily, looking quite restrained.

Ye Shan didn't force it. No matter which world it was, it was human nature to feel uncomfortable eating at the same table with the leader.

After the meal, Ye Shan paid the bill first, said goodbye to the shop owner, and continued walking towards the meeting room.

After a cup of tea, they arrived at the entrance of the huge conference room. Uchiha Fugaku was standing in the cold wind and whispering to the Anbu agent Uchiha Keiji. Several Anbu ninjas followed behind him. When they saw Ye Shan coming, they came to greet him from afar.

"How is it, is everything going well?" asked Uchiha Fugaku.

"It's going well. What kind of trouble can Orochimaru cause if I take action myself?"

"That's good. The Anbu Root is also progressing smoothly. Only a few people put up a desperate resistance, but they were all killed on the spot."

"Just die, some insignificant trash."

"Let's go in for the meeting now that everyone is here."

Ye Shan did not reply, but walked in front with a stern face. Two ninjas standing in front of the door opened the heavy door to facilitate the Hokage to enter the meeting room.

The silent conference room was startled by the sudden sound of the door opening. Seeing that it was the expressionless Hokage who arrived, hundreds of people stood up in unison to greet him.

Ye Shan took the Hokage haori handed to him by Nara Shikaku and put it on. He walked up the steps to the podium and said in a calm voice, "Everyone, take a seat."

Everyone sat down, all eyes fixed on the Hokage, their minds active, many of them had already guessed the real purpose of holding the meeting late at night.

The Hokage and the Deputy Hokage sat on the podium, while Nara Shikaku stood behind Hayama and took notes. Uchiha Fugaku cleared his throat and said loudly: "The meeting of all the jonin of Konohagakure is about to begin!"

"Since there are quite a few jonin out on missions recently, the village's laws and regulations must not be changed during this meeting. Otherwise, it would be against the rules!"

After announcing the rules as usual, Uchiha Fugaku said with a sad face: "I believe many people have guessed what happened tonight, but in order to ensure fairness and justice, I, the deputy hokage in charge of security, still have to report to you the whole story."

"A few days ago, the Anbu reported to the Hokage that several mid-level and low-level ninjas had disappeared without a clear reason in the village, and requested a thorough investigation. The Hokage immediately responded, requiring the Anbu to investigate the matter at all costs. This is the official document from that time, and you can circulate it among yourself."

The ninja in the office handed the document to the first row of people and then stepped back, leaving it to them to verify its authenticity.

Something written in black and white cannot be faked, not to mention that they all knew Ye Shan's handwriting by heart.

"As more and more ninjas went missing, the Hokage became furious and ordered the Anbu to close the case within a certain period of time. After careful investigation by the Anbu reconnaissance experts, all the evidence pointed to one person!"

At this point, Uchiha Fugaku looked around at everyone with a gloomy face, murderous intent on his body: "That person is Orochimaru, the recognized meritorious ninja of Konohagakure, the beloved disciple of the Third Hokage, and one of the three famous ninjas!"

Although they were mentally prepared, the ninjas were still shocked when they heard the truth from the Deputy Hokage, and the meeting room became noisy.

"Silence!" the ninja in charge of order in the meeting shouted, stopping the chaos.

Uchiha Fugaku continued, "After hearing the news, the Hokage couldn't sleep all night. After much consideration, he decided to arrest Yoshida, the senior ninja, to give Orochimaru a chance to confess and be lenient. But what is heartbreaking is that Orochimaru still refused to repent even though he knew the truth was revealed. Therefore, the Hokage personally took action to arrest him!"

"Bring a witness!"

The Anbu ninja escorted the senior ninja Yoshida into the meeting room, and everyone looked calm. He was just a witness, so who knew if it was a trick to call a horse a zebra?

"Bring physical evidence!" Uchiha Fugaku sneered.

This time, the Anbu ninjas were busy, and they put a lot of evidence they found on the podium, including Orochimaru's research notes, experimental subjects, bloody corpses, and children soaked in jars. The ninjas couldn't sit still, and they gnashed their teeth in hatred, because more than a dozen corpses were all wearing Konoha standard vests!

"This is the Chunin Island! I had dinner with him a few days ago!" said a Jonin, standing up.

"Yes, it is Xiaodao. We even teamed up to carry out a mission during the Third Ninja World War!"

More and more ninjas pointed at the already cold corpse in excitement, and a huge amount of resentment gathered in the meeting room.

"Hokage!" A 40-year-old jonin stood up and saluted, "May I ask where is Orochimaru now? Why don't you bring him to the conference room so we can confront him face to face?"

"Who is this?" Ye Shan asked sideways.

"The daughter of the Jonin Mitarai Benimaru became Orochimaru's disciple last year. The two sides have a cooperative relationship." Nara Shikaku bent over and whispered.

"Oh!"

Ye Shan was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted, "What do ANBU ninjas do? I ordered the arrest of all ninjas related to Orochimaru, why didn't you arrest this Benimaru? Keiji, get out here and give me a reasonable explanation!"

Uchiha Keiji wiped his sweat, and he was sweating coldly in the middle of winter. He quickly stood up and said, "Hokage, calm down. After our investigation, this Mitarashi Red Maru cannot be an accomplice of Orochimaru!"

"Why do you say that?" Ye Shan asked after calming down.

"After Mitarashi Hongmaru's daughter became Orochimaru's disciple, she has been ignored. To put it bluntly, she has been treated as a tool. And through our investigation, we learned that his daughter has also become a test subject and has been sent to the hospital for treatment." Uchiha Keiji explained.

Ye Shan almost couldn't hold it in, and calmed down and said, "You mean, Hongwan didn't know about it at all?"

"You should ask the person involved." Uchiha Keiji said with a smile.

"Mitarashi Benimaru, let me ask you, do you know what happened to your daughter?"

Over there, Mitarashi Benimaru had already collapsed. If it weren't for his friends supporting him, he would have fainted. His precious daughter had become a test subject? Damn Orochimaru, that wasn't what he promised when he became his disciple last year!

"I...don't know!" He gritted his teeth.

"You know now?"

"understood."

"Go to the hospital and take care of your daughter, you ungrateful person!" Ye Shan gave the order directly.

Mitarai Benimaru staggered out of the meeting room, completely forgetting that he was a ninja and could teleport away.

"How pitiful are the parents in the world!" Ye Shan sighed.
