Ranwu finally accepted Akaseki's persuasion. In the letter to Third, he did not mention the matter of "Wood Release Experiments". Instead, he pretended that he did not know about it, blindly emphasized Yakushi Nonō's personal matters, and did not directly criticize Root.
Akaseki also vigorously criticized Root as planned before, acting as if Yakushi Nonō was just passing by and made it clear that he wanted to ban Root...
However, after writing the letter, Ranwu was still a little interested - obviously, the "Wood Release Experiments" thing was a thorn in her heart, and she began to doubt the purity of Third's "Will of Fire".
Temporarily giving up the investigation does not mean that she has given up on the matter. On the contrary... it is a sign that she has a deep grudge against Hokage Building and cannot communicate sincerely!
"Ranwu, during this period, please do not use letters to communicate with the Third Uncle Fourth Uncles of Forest Street. Even if you have something to say, wait until you get back and say it face to face." Akaseki reminded me extra.
Ranwu looked over in confusion, and Akaseki explained, "It's a very important matter. If we don't talk face to face, there may be various misunderstandings."
"Yeah." Ranwu nodded and accepted Akaseki's statement.
In addition to misunderstandings, there is also the risk of the letter being leaked, and even if it is not leaked, sending a letter to the village cannot be hidden from Third. Even if the content of the letter is not known, there may be suspicion.
Ranwu left in a daze.
Nonō looked at Ranwu's back, waited for the door to close, and said hesitantly, "Actually... First's cells should have been left over from before."
Nonō spoke very vaguely, but of course Akaseki understood it, and said naturally, "Of course it was left behind by Second, otherwise... when First Hokage passed away, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō were only in their early twenties, so how could they have the ability to obtain First Hokage's cells."
Akaseki knew about this from the beginning...
After all, Orochimaru also hinted that he has Hashirama Cells there, and he also made several Life-Sustaining Potion... Akaseki, but he didn't dare to use it.
"If Ranwu knew..." Nonō was a little worried and didn't want Ranwu to be even more disappointed because of this.
"Just studying First's cells is not that bad." Akaseki shook his head.
Before that, Akaseki didn't know that Danzo was actually doing Human Experiments directly, and even caused the death of a large number of orphans. Nonō even suspected that the experiment had reached the infant stage!
This is what really breaks through the lower limit.
Just researching what Hashirama Cells said, although it doesn't sound good, is just "offensive". Even if Ranwu knew about it, he would only complain about it. At most, he would protest in private and would not think of making a fuss.
Just like Second, there must be no lack of research, but Ranwu just doesn't know.
"Second is just more practical when it comes to ethical issues. It's not surprising that he would secretly study his brother's cells. However, his sense of morality makes up for this. It's a pity..." Akaseki said and shook his head.
Tobirama Senju felt that studying Hashirama Cells might make Konoha stronger, so he did it. He might even have been doing it before Hashirama was alive. Hashirama himself should also know about it.
It's just that although Tobirama Senju is "pragmatic", his morals are not low. He will not rush into Human Experiments in the early stages and when there is no certainty, and he will not directly adopt orphans as consumables - otherwise it will not be Shimura Danzō's turn to achieve results!
But...
Tobirama Senju probably didn't expect that he died so suddenly, causing these experiments to be inherited by his "good students". In just a few years, his honest and steady successor Hiruzen Sarutobi "unblocked" these experiments for Shimura Danzō, a guy with extremely low moral sense, and asked him to secretly promote Wood Release Experiments!
And Shimura Danzō is a guy who dares to do a lot of things in private if he is allowed to do something, and has no sense of morality...
"But... if one day they really want to accuse Root of this, will they turn the blame on Second..." Nonō is still worried that Root will blame Second.
The reason why Nonō is worried about this is of course also because he is worried about Ranwu.
"No." Akaseki shook his head decisively, and then said, "Even if that Shimura Danzō really loses his mind and wants to use Second as a shield, Forest Street's people will kill him!"
If they dare to blame Second for this kind of thing, they will force Forest Street to break with them - Forest Street will definitely not agree with this statement, so they can only believe that "these traitors are talking nonsense".
But...
Akaseki After saying this, he paused for a moment, but didn't say anything.
Think about the life experience of "Future", Konoha...
I'm afraid Forest Street... at least Future is also in big trouble!
Even if Uchiha Clan was not exterminated, he must have been severely marginalized. Otherwise, he would not have been raised by Nonō just to hide Konoha's identity, and he would have been in trouble himself.
Could it also be related to Root?
"Miroku, do you think there is only one Future? Our world... is there only one?" Akaseki suddenly asked Miroku.
Among the people Akaseki knows now, the one who knows "Future" best is probably Miroku, which seems to be some kind of branch ability of Byakugan.
"I... don't know." Miroku was very sure at first, but because A Jie they were not dead, he became uncertain.
Akaseki didn't ask any further questions.
People can't do anything just thinking about "understanding Future".
But whatever the truth is...
After the incident with Future Konoha, both Akaseki and Ranwu were eyeing Root - now that they know it, they won't leave any trouble for the children!
What happens to Root is not a question of strength, but a more complicated response - if it is solved by strength alone, then the entire Konoha must be regarded as an imaginary enemy. This is something neither of them are willing to think about, whether it is subjective "whether they are willing" or objective "can they do it".
Akaseki later left Stone House, leaving Miroku to look after Yakushi Nonō for a while.
Although it seems that Cursed Seal has been eliminated from Yakushi Nonō, it is unclear whether Danzo may have other back-up tricks.
You don't have to wait too long either...
Just wait for the reply from Konoha and look at the reactions of Danzo and Hokage Building to find out!
Akaseki had just left Stone House, and was about to release Old Wang's channeling, when he saw it approaching mysteriously.
"Huh? Did you find anything?" Akaseki wondered.
"I just asked Yakushi Nonō and got two answers, one true and one false." Hell Yama King said with confidence.
Why ask?
Isn't it just to flatter you afterwards?
"Oh, you went through a process... how come it's real?" Akaseki said in a weird tone.
Nonō Why is the response so slow?
If you tell the truth at this time, isn't it equivalent to losing by playing with the answer but not the question...
Root Elite is this level?
"I asked, if you seek a mate with him, would it be possible? His answer was "no", which is true... I also asked, if he must marry someone else, would that be possible for you? He also answered "no", but this is false." Hell Yama King briefly described two questions.
Because what Old Wang said was vague, it took Akaseki a long time to understand what it meant.
That is to say...
"De" "Qi" "Xiao" "Shuo" "Net" "Shou" "Fa" [d][e][q][i][x][s][.][o][r][g]
"Are you willing to have children with me? But you have to choose one person, and that's me? Gee, why is this woman so confident? Do I agree?" Akaseki said righteously.
Hell Yama King:...
Hearing this, Hell Yama King thought that Akaseki really didn't care, but...
Why are you so disdainful of your bumpy steps? Your head seems to be held higher than before!
On October 20, the reply from Konoha arrived.
Guan Ze of Anbu personally sent it over - and he was also one of the three Guardian Ninja selected by Konoha.
Putting an "encyclopedia" here also shows that Hokage Building attaches great importance to it and wants Guardian Ninja here to be able to deal with various emergencies.
Akaseki, Ranwu, and Third were criticized in the letter equally!
He severely reprimanded them for making arbitrary claims and destroying Cursed Seal's confidentiality of Root, and... asked them to return to Konoha immediately after Wind Capital's Guardian Ninja was in place to receive their punishment, and were not allowed to stay without permission.
As for the various accusations made by Akaseki against Root, he only lightly acknowledged some unimportant ones and stated that he would send people to rectify them and prohibit Akaseki from participating in this matter again.
But...
But there was also a reply specifically to Yakushi Nonō - Third was very comforting in the letter to the client Nonō. Although he claimed that there was a misunderstanding, he approved Nonō's withdrawal from Root, but only told her to continue to keep secrets in the future and not to disclose Root's affairs to the outside world.
After receiving the letter, Akaseki and Ranwu felt relieved.
No harm was caused to Root, which was expected. After all... it was nothing fatal in the first place.
Judging from the way Third handled it, it was obvious that he had understood the intentions of Akaseki and Ranwu, and had made certain compromises - just as Akaseki thought, it was mainly the "step" of Ranwu's letter that played the biggest role.
Although Third wanted to severely punish Akaseki and Ranwu, he still asked them to hand over to Guan Ze and others before leaving. Obviously, the severity was limited.
The most important thing is that they did not embarrass Yakushi Nonō, but instead finalized the matter of Yakushi Nonō's withdrawal from Root from Hokage Building's perspective.
As for Root...
Of course it wasn't affected at all.
This treatment is full of the meaning of "putting things to rest"!
Akaseki also understands that it is impossible to expect Third to be more biased toward him now, and the current situation is not enough to send Danzo away after a big incident. On the contrary, it is more likely to put himself in a disadvantageous position.
So...
"I understand... let's hand it over now!" Akaseki said to Guan Ze angrily.
"Hahaha, did you make Lord Hokage angry again? It doesn't matter, Lord Hokage still values you very much for Akaseki." Guan Ze just smiled - the content of the letter was naturally a secret that he didn't know. He just looked at the old friendship and revealed to Akaseki the attitude of Third when he sent him the letter.
