Hawking the Upright and Honorable (First Update)

"The result is good, Sasuke is fine."

Upon hearing that Sasuke was alright, Naruto and Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, Danzo died. He was shot to death by Sasuke with a Susanoo arrow, and his body was burned to ashes by Amaterasu."

Hawking shrugged.

"What!"

Kakashi and Shikamaru's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.

Danzo was the leader of Konoha's Root and a true high-ranking official in Konoha, second only to the Hokage in status.

Sasuke killed Danzo, so he's definitely going to become missing-nin.

Unlike before, when Sasuke was kidnapped from Orochimaru by Konoha, he trained with Orochimaru for the past few years but did not do anything to harm Konoha.

Even if they joined Akatsuki to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, in the end, they would only have offended the Kumogakure, and such things could be argued over.

Even if they had succeeded in capturing them, back then, didn't the Kumogakure also try to kidnap the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki Kushina and the Byakugan Princess Hinata?

As long as Sasuke is willing to return to Konoha, reform himself, and become a good ninja of Konoha, all these issues can be managed to be overlooked.

However, Sasuke actually killed Danzo with his own hands, which makes him an undeniable missing-nin, the kind of person the Konoha High Command would never forgive.

Even if the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, were willing to intercede on his behalf, Sasuke would never be able to become a Konoha ninja again, and even if he wasn't killed, he would be imprisoned for life.

"Hawking, why don't you?"

Kakashi rubbed his forehead.

He knew that with Hawking's abilities, he was fully capable of stopping Sasuke.

However, after thinking about it, he couldn't blame Hawking. After all, Hawking wasn't Hidden Leaf Ninjas, and perhaps he was in a hurry to come and save them, which is why he didn't save Danzo.

"I did it on purpose. Danzo at Sasuke, which was entirely deserved. If I were Sasuke, I would have killed him to avenge him."

"I, Hawking, have lived a life of integrity and uprightness. Saving someone like this would only dirty my hands."

Hawking feigned disdain.

"What do you mean by saying Danzo deserved his punishment?"

Naruto had recovered somewhat, sensed the hidden meaning in Hawking's words and quickly asked.

He had always felt that Sasuke's sudden decision to join Akatsuki to seek revenge on Konoha after killing Itachi was too suspicious, and there must be some reason behind it.

"I just overheard Sasuke asking Danzo to confirm the Uchiha Clan Massacre."

Hawking briefly recounted the massacre of the Danzo's earlier remarks.

Once Danzo's deeds are exposed, he will become a sinner of Konoha, and his refusal to help those in Danzo will be perfectly justified.

As for whether the Danzo of Danzo's affair will cause the villagers of Konoha to lose faith in the Konoha High Command or chill the hearts of Konoha various clans, that's none of his business.

After hearing Hawking's words, everyone fell silent.

In their eyes, Konoha was mostly a place of light, but they never expected that such things would happen behind the scenes.

Kakashi's expression didn't change much; he simply sighed.

"This is something Danzo would do."

Having joined the Anbu at a young age and having always been in the shadows, he knows all too well the dark side of the village and is also quite familiar with Danzo's deeds.

He also had a grudge against Danzo when he rescued Yamato from Root.

"Itachi is so pitiful."

After hearing the truth, Sakura, Hinata, Ino, and the other girls all felt great sympathy for Itachi's plight.

For the sake of peace in the entire village, Itachi had to kill his own clansmen and his own parents, bear the name of a traitor, infiltrate Akatsuki to obtain intelligence for Konoha, and finally sacrifice himself to Sasuke.

"Danzo is truly despicable. I must tell Grandma Tsunade about this so that she can clear Itachi's name and allow Sasuke to return to Konoha with renewed recognition."

Naruto punched the ground.

He finally understood what Itachi had said when he met Itachi while searching for Sasuke.

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Shikamaru, standing to the side, shook his head.

As the only Konoha 12 currently involved in village politics, Shikamaru knows that as long as the two advisors from Konoha are present, it is impossible for a decision that would affect the reputation of Konoha High Command to be implemented.

Although Tsunade is the Hokage, she is subject to checks and balances from her two advisors on many matters.

However, Hawking's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this.

Because he knew that Konoha's two advisors might not live to see the end of this incident.

After Sasuke kills Danzo, he will inevitably go on to kill the two advisors.

This is one of the reasons why we didn't just Sasuke and bring him here.

With Danzo and his two advisors dead, Konoha essentially had complete control of Tsunade, which was actually a good thing for her.

Given Tsunade's personality, as long as you contribute enough to Konoha, she will definitely reward you handsomely.

However, Danzo and the two advisors are different. No matter how much you contribute to Konoha, they will take it for granted. If they can use your life to gain greater benefits, they will not hesitate.

"What do we do now?"

While Hawking and the others were talking, Konan flew to Obito's side.

She was also panicked when she saw Hawking. Last time Nagato almost died at Hawking's hands, even though she was protecting him.

The Rinnegan that Hawking has now was taken from Nagato back then. With the Rinnegan's power, Hawking will only be stronger than he was then.

"You distract him, and I'll take away the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki."

Obito gave a command, stomped his foot on the ground, and Zetsu's figure emerged from the ground. Zetsu tore off one of his arms and handed it to Obito, Obito then pressed it onto his broken right arm.

As Jue left, he winked at him.

Hawking was indeed powerful, but that doesn't mean his Kamui could be broken.

Moreover, what he wanted to do was not to defeat Hawking, but to take Naruto away. Even if he couldn't take Naruto away, he wanted to find out about Hawking so that he could kill him in the future.

The fact that the Nine-Tails was moved remains a potential problem.

"The Dance of the Shikigami!"

Konan flapped its wings, and countless Exploding Tags transformed into arrows, spears, Shuriken, shooting towards Hawking.

These paper weapons, enhanced by her unique Paper Release Ninjutsu, are no less powerful than real weapons, and can even explode under her control.

If it were inserted into the body, it could explode inside.

Even if it doesn't penetrate the body, it can explode when blocked, injuring the enemy.

At the same time Konan launched her Paper Release attack, Obito also Body Flicker Technique rushed towards Hawking, and his speed was even faster than Konan's Paper Release.

Of course, he wasn't trying to attack Hawking.

He had witnessed firsthand how strong Hawking's Taijutsu were, and even with his Kamui Hollowfication, he didn't think he could necessarily beat Hawking in Taijutsu.

So what appears to be an attack on Hawking is actually just a feint.

When Hawking retaliates against him, he can use Hollowfication to pass through and then grab Naruto directly behind Hawking.

By the time Hawking realized what was happening and tried to save him, Konan's Paper Release attack had already arrived.

If Hawking insists on saving Naruto, not only will he face the attack of the Paper Release, but the Hidden Leaf Ninjas, including Kakashi, who are also exhausted from Chakra, will also be affected by the explosion.

If Hawking intercepts Konan's Paper Release Ninjutsu, he can use that time to activate Kamui and take Naruto into the Kamui Dimension.

Whether Konan can escape from Hawking's side is no longer within his consideration.
