Chapter 40: The Third Hokage: This is Danzo's fault, it's his fault

From now on, he should interfere less in the affairs of the village, give Lu Xin more opportunities, try to push Zhu Lu Die to the top, and he will stay at home to retire.

"Hiruzen?"

Utane Koharu called out tentatively, but the Third Hokage said nothing.

Oh open!

It seems that the situation is a bit serious. The Third Hokage would only act like this when he was extremely angry. He would ignore everyone and would only speak when everyone was present and he wanted to speak.

just wait.

The three of them exchanged glances and sat down.

"Hokage-sama."

At this time, the Anbu ninja who went to inform Danzo Shimura came back.

"Where is Danzo?" asked the Third Hokage.

The Anbu ninja said awkwardly: "Danzo said he was not feeling well, so..."

"bump!!!"

The words "feeling unwell" were very harsh to the Third Hokage, and he slammed the table in anger, shocking everyone in the office.

Is this still the Sarutobi Hiruzen we know?

Are you sure it's not Tsunade in disguise?

You go down first.

Utane Koharu stood up and let the Anbu ninja go down.

After the other party left, he said to the Third Hokage:

"Huruzen, what did Danzo do to make you so angry?"

"what's up?"

The Third Hokage was so angry that he laughed: "It's almost going to turn the world upside down, do you know that?"

"He assassinated a ninja from the same village, used the village information to trade with Hanzo, and asked Hanzo to kill Hinata Shizuka, but was sold out by Hanzo. Others went to the border camp and revealed the matter in front of dozens of ninjas!"

"What do you think he did?"

"......"

Assassinating ninjas from the same village and leaking village intelligence are crimes that can be serious or minor. At the very least, they can be gotten away with by giving a vague explanation.

Once it is magnified, you will definitely be in trouble.

If these things were revealed through other channels, the Third Hokage could still accept it.

It was Hanzo of the Salamander who came to the door and said it in front of dozens of Konoha ninjas.

The ninjas who rotated at the border were already somewhat reluctant and unwilling because they had to be stationed there for a long time. The news of Shimura Danzo's incident would make many people feel disheartened.

We left our families and homes to celebrate the New Year and braved the heavy snow and freezing rain to run to the border camp to guard it. We patrolled and stood guard all day long, and we also had to be on guard against our own people because we might be assassinated by them.

Who the hell can stand this kind of thing?

Although they were not the ones who were assassinated, they were all stationed in the same camp and were all members of the same camp. Anyone who could empathize with them would feel chilled.

Numb, completely numb.

Akimichi Norifuzu covered his forehead helplessly, while Utane Koharu and Mitokado En had dull eyes, unable to believe what they heard.

Is Danzo Shimura crazy?

To assassinate a ninja from the same village, it is better to ask an outsider to do it, so that the news gets out and people will become disloyal.

It would be fine if he was just an ordinary person, but is Hinata Shizuka an ordinary person?

I couldn't imagine how Tsunade and Uzumaki Mito would react when they heard the news.

"Huruzen, we have to control Danzo. If possible, a gag order needs to be signed at the border camp."

Utane Koharu was extremely anxious.

The Third Hokage said with a headache: "Do you think it is possible to sign a gag order?"

When Uzumaki Mito is just a decoration?

Tsunade could turn the Hokage's office building upside down.

"Alas, I never thought that Danzo would do such a cruel thing. We must give an explanation to the villagers about this matter."

At the critical moment, the Third Hokage abandoned Danzo Shimura without hesitation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot be involved in this kind of blame, not at all.

I can only leave it all to Danzo Shimura.

Mito Kado En nodded seriously and said, "I think Hiruzen is right. This matter was caused by Danzo alone from the beginning to the end. We must control him and give an explanation to the villagers."

Before the news spreads, capture Danzo Shimura as quickly as possible, lock him up, release an announcement quickly, and make arrangements in advance.

This kind of thing cannot wait. Once the news spreads and ignites the anger of the villagers, it will be difficult to resolve.

Therefore, we must strike first, take down Danzo Shimura, and correct the attitude of the Hokage's office.

"I'll leave Danzo's side to you. I'll send someone to make an announcement."

The Third Hokage didn't want to meet Danzo Shimura at all.

"The punishment of that Danzo......."

This kind of thing could be a big deal or a small one, but Danzo Shimura was betrayed too harshly by Hanzo Salamander, so the Hokage's Office must step in to punish him severely.

Otherwise it will chill the hearts of many people.

As for Danzo Shimura's punishment, Utane, Koharu and the other two were unable to grasp the scale.

"Lock him up first. No matter what, Danzo has made many contributions to the village. Even though he made a mistake, he should not be punished too harshly."

It would be difficult to explain to the villagers if Shimura Danzo was not punished, and the severity of the punishment also needs to be controlled.

After all, Danzo Shimura is still of great use, and the Third Hokage cannot possibly kill him directly.

After a brief discussion, Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Akimichi Torikatsu III brought the Anbu people to find Shimura Danzo.

Seeing the courtyard where he lived being surrounded by Anbu members, Danzo Shimura realized that something was wrong.

Could it be that Uzumaki Mito is causing trouble?

It was still Salamander Hanzo who failed. This stupid demigod couldn't even kill a medical ninja.

"Danzo, your crime has been exposed. Per the Hokage's orders, you are to be captured and detained. I hope you will cooperate."

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En had no intention of speaking up, so Akimichi Tofu had no choice but to step forward and be the bad guy.

"Why?" Shimura Danzo asked calmly.

Qiu Dao Qu Feng rubbed his fat face and cursed angrily:

"You're still asking me why? Monkey is almost mad at you. You want to assassinate Hinata Shizuka just because of a small conflict? Don't forget that you were the one who went to cause trouble for others first."

"It would be fine if you did it yourself, but you actually leaked the village information and made a deal with Hanzo of the Salamander."

If Shimura Danzo did it himself, Akimichi Tofu would still be able to express his admiration.

As a result, this guy was unwilling to take action or show up, so he used the village's information to trade.

As a result, he was sold out by Hanzo of the Salamander.

Has it failed?

No, although there are a lot of ninjas in the border camp, they definitely can't stop Salamander Hanzo.

Although he looked down on Hanzo of the Salamander from the bottom of his heart, Danzo Shimura had to admit that the other party was really strong, at least much stronger than him.

So the question is, how did it break out?

It's impossible that a cripple like Hinata Shizuka would show his supernatural power and capture Salamander Hanzo.

Danzo Shimura was sure that he would be able to control Hanzo of the Salamander.
