Chapter 226 confirms once again that Utane Koharu’s death has nothing to do with Yan!

Although the plan has not been completed yet, we need to discuss it with people from each family first.

At least let everyone have a general idea.

Building a new commercial district is a good thing, and I believe that any family that is qualified to participate will not refuse it.

The village's finances were tight, and many of Konoha's ninja families had the ability to invest.

As long as there is enough return on investment, I believe few families would refuse such a good thing.

"Shizune, send someone to ask the old man to come see me. Oh, and the advisory elder as well."

The Third Hokage and Mizuto Kado En had previously suspected whether there were other factors involved in the death of Utatane Koharu.

They secretly reminded Tsunade, and Tsunade understood what they meant, which was nothing more than distrust of Yan.

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

Shizune hurriedly walked out of the Hokage's office and asked the Anbu to notify the Third Hokage and Mito Kado En.

After receiving the notification, the two quickly arrived at the Hokage's office building.

"You guys take a seat first."

Tsunade finished reading the document in her hand, and after making sure that there was no problem, she stamped it and put the document away.

Then he said to the Third Hokage and Mitomon En who were sitting beside him:

"The assessment held by the Cloud Ninja Village was forced to terminate. Yan and his men returned early, and a lot of things happened during this period."

Tsunade briefly recounted what had happened.

"It seems that the Cloud Ninja Village is full of hostility towards us."

If Yan was targeted because of his deliberate actions, that would be another matter.

Unfortunately, the targeting started after arriving at the Cloud Village, and Ai directly laid out all the targeting of Konoha.

“He’s doing great.”

After a moment of silence, Mitomon Yan spoke:

"Since the Kumogakure is full of hostility towards us, there is no need for us to ask for anything from them.

Besides, what Yan said was right, from the moment they left Konoha and terminated the assessment.

There is no need to continue this joint jonin examination."

This clearly shows that they do not take Konoha seriously.

So what if the representatives are on the field?

I still don't believe that you, the Cloud Ninja Village, couldn't notify them!

As a result, the Konoha side was completely unaware of the situation, and the representatives of your four villages decided the matter.

In that case, why should Konoha play with you?

You four villages can do whatever you want. Konoha will not accompany you.

"That's what I meant."

Tsunade agreed and said:

"The assessment was initiated by the Kumogakure and has nothing to do with us in Konoha. If there are problems with the assessment, they are the Kumogakure's own problems.

As for killing people during the assessment... who stipulated that people can't die during the assessment?"

The five major ninja villages have already held joint assessments many times!

Konoha also took the initiative to initiate it.

The difference is that before, they were all Chunin examinations!

The Cloud Ninja Village felt that they were strong and had enough face, so they held a Jonin examination and did not allow people from small villages to participate. The other party could only be spectators.

Every village will suffer considerable losses after each assessment.

Only two people died in this assessment, so the mortality rate is already very low.

"In addition, the information about the Akatsuki organization has basically been shared, and the money from the sale of the information about the Sage's Eye has also been credited, which can ease the financial pressure on the village."

"also........"

Glancing at the Third Hokage and Mitomon En, Tsunade took a deep breath and reminded them:

"I know that it is difficult for you to accept the death of Elder Utane Koharu. Although I had a bad relationship with her, I, Tsunade, was also upset. I specifically asked Yan about it. The death of Elder Utane Koharu was just an accident. There were no other factors."

“I don’t want to see something happen that shouldn’t have happened.”

Unless you have evidence to prove that Utane Koharu's death was caused intentionally by Yan, this matter ends here.

"I want to meet Kakashi."

The Third Hokage thought for a while and decided to meet with Kakashi to personally ask about the situation.

"it is good."

Tsunade did not refuse and agreed generously.

If she didn't agree, the Third Hokage would contact Kakashi in private. It would be better to be direct and call him over and ask him openly.

Kakashi had just returned home, washed up, and changed his clothes when he found that the Anbu people had arrived.

Hokage invited him, and Kakashi arrived at the Hokage's office building in the shortest time possible.

When Kakashi walked into the Hokage's office and saw the Third Hokage and Mitokado En, he knew why Tsunade had notified him to come to the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, Sandaime-sama, Advisory Elder-sama."

Kakashi bowed his head slightly and saluted the three men.

Tsunade sat down with her arms folded, signaling the Third Hokage that they could begin.

The Third Hokage stood up and walked to Kakashi, patted his shoulder, and sighed:

"Thank you for your hard work. I should let you rest first, but there is something very important that I need you to verify, so I can only let you run for a while."

"Excuse me, Sandaime-sama."

"Whoo~~~"

After lighting a cigarette and taking two deep puffs, the Third Hokage said:

"Tell me carefully and in detail what happened to the team since they left the village."

"Yes."

Kakashi said respectfully:

"I received an order from the Hokage's office building. I gathered at the village entrance at the specified time. Uchiha Shisui and the elders arrived later, and Advisor Uchiha Hiko arrived last. During this period, Advisor Uchiha Hiko did not have any conflict or verbal entanglement with the elders."

"When we were about to approach the border and enter the Iron Country, we encountered a group of four from the Akatsuki organization on the road."

"The elder had an argument with the other party, and then a fight broke out."

To put it simply, Utane Koharu still acted like a Konoha elder when facing the people from Akatsuki, but she chose the wrong person.

Instead of posing well, he angered the other party and a fight broke out.

"The people of Akatsuki are very strong. All of their members are S-rank rebels from various ninja villages. The rebel who killed the elder is called Kakuzu, a rebel who defected from Takigakure many years ago. The opponent is very strong, and the elder was unable to hold on until the others supported him."

They are all S-class rebel ninjas. After Yan killed Biwa Juzo, he rushed over to support them, but it was a pity that Utane Koharu couldn't hold on.

Although information scrolls were sent back, the Third Hokage and Mitomon En did not trust Yan.

That's why he had to ask Kakashi in person.

It seems that it really has nothing to do with Yan. We can only say that Utane Koharu had bad luck. She was too arrogant and ended up losing her life.

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest."

Since Yan is not a suspect, the Third Hokage and Mitokado En cannot hold on to him. Tsunade has reminded them again and again, and the matter ends here.

"Yes."

Kakashi left obediently.

The only three people left in the Hokage's office were the Third Hokage, Tsunade, and Mito Kado En.

The Third Hokage put out his cigarette and said in a deep voice: "I think the village needs to take some actions against Akatsuki."

"I agree."

"Will do."

This wave of actions by the Akatsuki organization completely angered Konoha. Not to mention the Third Hokage and Mitokado En, even Tsunade couldn't stand it. Since you like to seek death, then come on.

But first we need to ask other villages to help us explore the way. Anyway, the bait of the Immortal's Eye has been thrown out.

I don’t believe other villages can bear it.
