Danzo is waiting.
He was waiting for a chance to make a comeback.
As long as Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has not been rescued, he will have a chance.
But Third Hokage waved his hand, signaling Utatane Koharu sitting next to him to read out the order.
Danzo had a bad premonition in his heart. In the past, orders were discussed by four people together, but this time he didn't receive any notification.
Utatane Koharu glanced at Danzo, sighed, then slowly opened the file and said, "After Third Hokage and Council of Elders made the final decision: first, exempt Anbu from third and fifth The deputy captain will be temporarily appointed as team leader; secondly, Shimura Danzo Police Force will be removed from the post of acting team leader; thirdly, Shimura Danzo Root will be removed from the post of leader and Homura Mitokado will be temporarily appointed."
Bang!
Danzo suddenly stood up and looked at Third Hokage with a livid face.
"Why don't you accept it?" Third Hokage also stood up, his aura clearly revealed.
"I am not responsible for the security issues of Uzumaki Kushina. Why should you put the responsibility on me?"
"What about Konoha Village's security work? The enemy sneaked into the village and left safely. Don't you, the captain Police Force, have to take full responsibility?"
"I was at Daimyo's Capital..."
"Are your subordinates also useless?"
Danzo calmed down and continued, "I was responsible for the oversight. But what about you, Hokage? Your responsibility for not recovering Uzumaki Kushina is much greater than mine!"
As soon as these words came out, the heads of the various families who had been watching the show below were suddenly stunned. This kind of questioning Hokage scene is not unprecedented in the history of Konoha.
When Third Hokage just took office, many family ninjas questioned him face to face because of his lack of prestige due to his youth. But as time goes by, this kind of thing has not happened for many years.
Third Hokage seemed to have lost the last of his patience, shook his head and said, "Of course I am responsible. However, Kushina has been brought back safely by the ninjas I sent, so I don't need to worry about it."
Danzo was shocked. When did it happen? Why didn't Root receive any news?
These losers deserve to eat shit for the rest of their lives.
"Also, I have written to Daimyo stating my problems, hoping that he could remove me from my position as Hokage, but he refused."
Seeing Third Hokage's triumphant look, Danzo couldn't help but cursed secretly, "Isn't it nonsense? There is a war now, how can I remove you from your post?"
"Hmph!"
He had no choice but to sit down again.
Just when everyone thought it was over, Third Hokage did not sit down. After scanning around with his eyes, he said in an extremely sad voice, "Anbu Captain, there are six in total, and I have to remove two of them; Danzo, elder, has three positions, and I have to remove the second.
Look at them, which one is not in the prime of life, which one is not the pillar of the village, which one is not the person I like, they have failed in their duty, my heart is going to break!
Second Hokage handed the village into my hands, but it ended up like this. I am heartbroken. I am guilty of Konoha. I am ashamed of the villagers and my subordinates. I wish I could depose myself! "
"And you clan leaders, even though you are all sitting here with great dignity, are you so clean? I know that some of you are more derelict in your duties than these three people! I advise you to dig out your secrets, dry them out, dry them out, and tidy them up!"
For a moment, the entire conference room was silent, and Ninja Hero's momentum was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Chief Third Hokage stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at Hokage Rock under the night sky and said, "When I first became Hokage, I thought the biggest enemies of the village were the four major countries. After the First World War, I thought that the combined force of the Shinobi World family was the biggest enemy.
After the Uzumaki Clan was destroyed by them, Hanzō became a worry again. Ah, after defeating Land of Rain, Hidden Sand Village became a life and death enemy again.
It is now becoming clearer to me that Konoha's troubles are not outside, but within the village! Among Anbu, Root and other families, if we fail in our duties here, the village will be in ruins. If you all fail in your duties, other villages will take advantage of it and leave us with no place to die! "
"Think about it, how many years have passed since the Warring States Period era? Forgot! The statues of Uchiha Madara are still standing at Valley of the End and Tenten staring at you!"
Third Hokage glanced at the wall clock on the wall. The hands had already pointed to three o'clock. Then he said with a waning tone, "I haven't slept for twenty hours. I'm always thinking about what to say to everyone, but my words have to have a head. After thinking about it, I can only give you 'Do it well'."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked everyone to go back and rest.
For a while, no one dared to move, but their eyes were all focused on Danzo, as if to say, big brother is waiting for you.
Damn it, why didn't I see you look at me like this when I chose Hokage? There was no other way, Danzo could only admit that he was unlucky, stood up and walked out.
With the first person attracting firepower, the people behind naturally had nothing to say and escaped Body Flicker. Soon, only Third Hokage and two High Advisor were left in the room.
"Hiruzen, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little excited. I've been wanting to say this for many years, and I've been holding it in my heart, and now I finally say it."
Utatane Koharu also sighed. She had always been the most rational among them, but she had to admit that what Sarutobi Hiruzen said was indeed a relief.
If it hadn't been for the constraints of these families, Uzumaki Clan might not have perished, nor would it have caused a series of chain reactions later on. Likewise, Jing might not have died.
After a moment of silence, Utatane Koharu couldn't help but ask, "Did Hidden Cloud Village really do it?"
"Yes, Chen used Sharingan to confirm the enemy's information before killing him. The specific information should be transmitted from the frontline headquarters tomorrow."
"In this way, Kushina's identity may not be concealed."
"If you can't hide it, then you can't hide it. What you should know is already known, and what you shouldn't know will not be known in the future."
"What about Hidden Cloud Village? Do you want to declare war?" Homura Mitokado asked, adjusting his glasses.
Third Hokage shook his head and said, "Although I also want to fight, fighting on two fronts is not good for the village. Moreover, Third Raikage made a truce with Ōnoki long ago, just waiting for us to attack.
Since Kushina is safe and sound, let's forget it this time. There will always be opportunities in the future. "
Homura Mitokado nodded, but he cursed in his heart, "When is the opportunity? I have said similar nonsense many times."
"Hiruzen, what should Kushina do?" Utatane Koharu asked again.
Third Hokage gave her a strange look. This old friend of mine was very interested in Kushina. Probably because Kushina is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he thought to himself, so he replied, "Let her stay at the frontline headquarters for the time being. When things in the village are settled, I will send someone to pick her up.
At least you won't be kidnapped there! "
"That's true." Utatane Koharu glanced at Homura Mitokado: "The security work of the village will be left to you for the time being. Don't let this happen again."
Homura Mitokado smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed very angry, it won't be long before Danzo has to be reinstated, and Root has to be handed over to others. Can he handle it himself?
Although he thought this way, he still had a tacit understanding and did not mention Danzo.
The foursome that once worked together, Danzo may be gone forever.
Has he changed?
Or has the world changed?
Maybe no one has changed, it's just that there is no feeling that lasts forever.
