Chapter 105 Don’t rush about the Hokage candidates, let’s talk about how to deal with Danzo first!

"Besides that, we also need to guard against other villages.

If the information leaks out, other villages will definitely believe that Konoha has a way to replicate Wood Release.

They will definitely keep a close eye on us, make a fuss about this matter, discredit us, and slander us.

They even sent spies into the village to gather intelligence."

The Third Hokage, who was unable to control his emotions, picked up his pipe, lit it, and took big puffs of the cigarette.

The meeting room was filled with smoke.

"I will give an explanation to the villagers."

"You say that easily."

Tsunade wanted to scold the Third Hokage, but she finally gave in and didn't go too far. She sat back in her chair and said through gritted teeth:

"Old man, make everything public. Everyone has the right to know. We also want to know what happened in the meantime."

"I agree."

In this regard, Jiraiya, who had always chosen to escape, chose to stand with Tsunade.

He felt that he should not remain silent.

Otherwise he would have a guilty conscience.

He would never frown even if he was asked to kill enemies, spy on information, or disrupt other villages.

But Jiraiya couldn't accept the fact that the village used war orphans for experiments, and even spared no villagers and ninjas of Konoha.

"Tsunade, the most important thing now is to deal with......"

Utane Koharu still wants to suppress the matter.

The Third Hokage interrupted her.

"Haru, it's ok. I think Tsunade is right. Everyone has the right to know all this."

"But......."

Utane Koharu felt somewhat unwilling, and Mitomon En shook his head slightly at her.

It's too late to find a solution now, so be prepared for the storm.

There is no point in hiding it any longer at this point, it is better to be honest.

After Mitomon En's persuasion, Utane Koharu reluctantly sat down.

"It all starts with the teacher."

The Third Hokage put down his pipe and began to recall:

"In order to maintain order and peace in the ninja world, the teacher took the lead in launching experiments on Wood Release.

Although the original target's cells are indispensable for research, the teacher did not touch the original target's body, but only kept some cells for research. "

"The research was met with great resistance, and eventually the Ninja War broke out."

"After the Ninja War, my teacher died, and I became the Sandaime Hokage of the village. I inherited my teacher's will and continued the experiments on Wood Release."

"After years of experiments, the research on the reproduction of Wood Release was full of difficulties. In the end, I stopped all experiments and research on Wood Release."

"What's going on with Danzo and Orochimaru?"

Tsunade doesn't believe that the Third Hokage didn't know:

"Don't tell me you don't know. Without the support of the village, Danzo and Orochimaru alone would not have the power to mobilize enough funds and equipment."

Faced with Tsunade's questioning, the Third Hokage hesitated.

Mizutomon Yan, who was sitting next to him, blinked his eyes and said quickly:

"Koharu and I were negligent in this regard. Danzo wanted to expand the scale of the Root, so he applied for a lot of funds and equipment. Koharu and I didn't know that he was using it for experiments, so we agreed."

This is their fault and they cannot escape blame, because the Third Hokage was indeed unaware of the situation in the early days.

“That’s really negligent.”

Tsunade couldn't help but sneer.

She had finally seen through these two advisory elders. They never brought good things upon herself, but could always cause all kinds of trouble.

The two were embarrassed by Tsunade's ridicule, but had nothing to refute.

I can only curse Danzo and Orochimaru in my heart. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

Shame on you! !

So embarrassing.

The Third Hokage didn't care about this and continued:

"During the Third Ninja War, Danzo and Orochimaru's behavior became very strange. The two took advantage of the war to use the war orphans that the village had taken in from the war for experiments. They didn't stop even after the war was over."

"The first generation of target cells is very scary. Once transplanted into the human body, it is as if the cells have become cancerous, and the person used for the experiment will turn into a tree."

“The experiment encountered many difficulties and many people died.

Because the war stopped, there were not enough experimental subjects, and after I paid attention to the orphanage, Orochimaru reached out to the villagers and ninjas in the village. "

"........"

Everyone's expressions became increasingly ugly.

Like Jiraiya, although they did not agree with such cruel experiments, they were only opposed to it in their hearts.

But extending their hands to the villagers and the village ninjas was unacceptable.

"According to the files of the police department, a lot of people and ninjas did disappear from the village after the Third Ninja War, including some Uchiha."

Fugaku interjected coincidentally.

Even the family ninjas are moving?

This bottom line is constantly being broken!!!

Everyone present was no longer calm.

Attacking the villagers and the village ninjas has already crossed the bottom line.

Even the family ninjas were attacked, which was a stab in the back of all the ninja families in Konoha.

"The Shimura clan has the most missing people. It is unknown whether they were captured or sent over."

The cowardly chief can also stab someone in the back at the critical moment.

Didn’t the Shimura clan strongly support Danzo?

Come on, can you take the blame for this?

Everyone's eyes turned to Chief Shimura.

"........"

Chief Shimura's face changed drastically.

Damn Uchiha Fugaku, if you don’t speak no one will think you are dumb!!!

Who told you to talk too much?

"This is nonsense. How could the Shimura clan support such a heartless thing?!"

In order to protect themselves, the Shimura clan was also anxious:

"Hokage-sama, the Shimura clan has never participated in these things, and it is even more impossible for them to send clan members and ninjas over for experiments."

This blame must not be taken, otherwise the Shimura clan will be finished, really finished.

"Okay, I believe in you, and I also believe in the Shimura clan."

The Shimura clan cannot be made to bear this blame. Regardless of whether they supported Danzo in this matter, the Third Hokage will not watch them take the blame.

"Thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama."

Chief Shimura was so excited that he almost cried.

He did not forget to glare at Fugaku with a fierce look, "Uchiha Fugaku, you are really something."

"Everyone knows what happened later. I found that Orochimaru was a dark person, so I recommended Minato to become the fourth Hokage of the village. Orochimaru's affairs were soon discovered by the Anbu."

"What happened was my mistake and dereliction of duty. I will give an explanation to the villagers. Let's discuss this matter and the election of the fifth generation."

This kind of news would definitely cause an earthquake. The Third Hokage was very self-aware and knew that he would not be able to continue to sit in the position of Hokage.

Why not take this opportunity to step down and let everyone elect the right candidate.

"Wait!!!"

Tsunade raised her hand, not giving the Third Hokage any chance to back down, and asked directly:

"The issue of the Hokage candidate can be put aside for now. I want to know, old man, how you will deal with Danzo."

This is a hot potato, the kind that will burn anyone's hands.
