"It's just nonsense!"
"You are not young, and you have still been practicing on the battlefield for so long..."
"How could you do this and break into the confidential department Cursed Seal without authorization?"
"I know, because Assistant Shimura usually has a cold face and is not good at expressing himself, so you think he is a bad person..."
"But do you know how hard he worked for Konoha?"
Third severely reprimanded Akaseki and Ranwu in the office.
Akaseki didn't say anything, but Ranwu couldn't help but said, "But Root...Cursed Tongue Eradication Jutsu this kind of Cursed Seal..."
Even if I still remember, don't mention Wood Release Experiments, Ranwu still can't help but refute.
"So... you still don't understand where you went wrong?" Third said more severely.
Ranwu pursed his lips, obviously not convinced.
Akaseki added on the side, "Yes, we were indeed too impulsive... In fact, after calming down, I understood the truth. This kind of thing... should be reported to Lord Hokage. Obviously Lord Hokage will handle it appropriately. We should not act without authorization."
Hearing what Akaseki said, Third nodded calmly.
"That's right, regarding Root's internal management, I have already criticized Danzo. As for you... I won't do it again!" Third said this with a more serious tone, "You are not allowed to interfere in Root's affairs in the future!"
"Lord Hokage Don't worry, we must take this as a warning, but Nonō..." Akaseki seemed to not care about Root at this time. It was purely because of his friendship with Yakushi Nonō that this incident happened.
Third looked at Nonō at this time, and his eyes suddenly became full of kindness.
"Nonō, Assistant Shimura usually acts biasedly for Konoha. You may have suffered a lot of grievances when working at Root. Don't worry... not only will you leave Root in the future, I have also ordered Assistant Shimura to make improvements to the ninja system of Root. We must stick to Will of Fire, and any ninja who wants to withdraw from Root can withdraw in an orderly manner." Third reassured.
"Lord Hokage Mingjian." Nonō complimented quietly--of course he didn't take it seriously.
Seeing Nonō being so calm, Third was choked up and said immediately, "After that..."
Seeing Third's expression of deep thought, Akaseki reminded, "Lord Hokage, that Shimura Danzō may still have misunderstandings about Nonō, and Nonō usually receives special training, which is different from ordinary ninjas. I think it is better to let her join your direct subordinate Anbu."
"It's "Assistant Shimura"." Third also glared at Akaseki and corrected.
Immediately Third looked at Nonō and asked, "Anbu... Nonō, what do you think?"
"I hope I can relieve Lord Hokage's worries!" Nonō responded immediately.
"Well, then you will be responsible from now on..." Third nodded and agreed.
Although it was not stated clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi also understood that Akaseki's misunderstanding of Danzo could no longer be solved in one or two sentences. The reason why Nonō proposed to join Anbu was to provide Nonō with a layer of protection so that Root would not trouble her again in the future.
The three people met Root at the entrance of the village. It had just happened, but before they came in, Third had already received the report.
Originally, Third had not yet decided what Nonō would be responsible for, but...
"If you trust Lord Hokage, I can take responsibility...Orphanage of Konoha is not only the orphan of Konoha, but also passed the review after adoption through other procedures. Orphans who should be taken care of should also have a place to raise these children in a unified way!" Nonō said proactively.
Not to mention Third, Akaseki and Ranwu heard this and looked at Nonō in surprise.
Orphan?
This is usually the "resource" that Danzo is staring at.
It was said that the orphans from the enemy country were reviewed to see if they could be spies, but after the review, none of them were released. Third usually turned a blind eye or closed his eyes, and even... Danzo also coveted the orphans inside Konoha.
However, now Nonō actually proposed that it should be responsible for Orphanage, and this Orphanage not only takes in all the orphans in Konoha, but also takes in other orphans?
Where to receive?
Although it is not stated clearly, it is obvious that if Orphanage is really handled, if Root still does not hand it over at all, Nonō will have every reason to file a complaint!
Just...
Obviously before, Nonō was always afraid of Root and Shimura Danzō...
At this moment, Third even wondered if Danzo was plotting against him!
But then, seeing Nonō's firm gaze, Sarutobi understood.
It's not that Nonō is not afraid anymore, but that she has something she wants to do more than being afraid.
"Well, I've been thinking about Orphanage recently. You can also join Planning Group in the future." Sarutobi nodded.
There was no Orphanage before Konoha.
After all, in the previous thirty years, Konoha had not had any major wars at all, and naturally there were not so many orphans. The biggest orphan output was Uchiha Clan's internal strife, but it was digested by Konoha itself, and there was no need for Konoha to take care of it.
Over the past thirty years, the number of Commoner Ninja has increased significantly, followed by five years of high-intensity war. These Commoner Ninja have no families, but a large number of orphans have been produced.
At first, Third was a little hesitant on this issue...
After all, if Konoha is in his hands and he starts to have Orphanage, wouldn't he look very incompetent?
Danzo was also timely and "considerate" before, suggesting that Root could raise these unattended civilian orphans.
It's just that Sarutobi has been hesitant about this - although he believes that Danzo is for Konoha, he does act biased "occasionally".
Now that this incident has occurred, Third no longer hesitates and decides to create Orphanage independently!
Coming out of Third's office, Nonō changed from being cautious before to being complacent.
Upon seeing this, Akaseki reminded, "After Orphanage is established, if you have any difficulties, you can come to us Konoha Military Police Force for discussion!"
Whether the orphans may be bullied or may be targeted by some "bad organizations", Konoha Military Police Force can solve it... and is good at solving these problems.
"Yeah." Nonō nodded.
If it was for himself, Nonō might not accept Uchiha Clan's help like this, but for the children...
At the same time, Nonō's eyes looked at Akaseki and Ranwu, becoming more gentle and grateful.
Little did they know that when Akaseki and Ranwu heard that she would be responsible for Orphanage, they also felt grateful in their hearts...
The rescue of Root, Akaseki and Ranwu this time did not come without a price. Not only was "Ninja Handbook" severely marked with a "major dereliction of duty", but Third was also ordered to reflect behind closed doors.
Although it is not really necessary to close the door, at least for the next period of time, until the next mission, they will not be able to "show off" Konoha.
And for a "serious dereliction of duty", I even thought and knew that I would have to wait until the end of the war, when rewards will be given based on merit.
But Ranwu didn't take it to heart, and Akaseki didn't take it to heart either!
Please collect the "odd" small "only" website address: "W"w"w"."d"e"q"i"x"s".""o"r"g, the "site" only has this one site, and other sites will be updated from time to time."
"By the way, Nonō, you don't even have a place to live, right?" Akaseki suddenly remembered something.
Usually when Nonō is in the village, he lives at Root's residence. Now it is obvious that he cannot go back.
"My house is quite big..." Akaseki thinks it won't be a problem to separate a room.
"Stay at my house!" Ranwu said immediately.
"Eh? That's fine... you are an orphan anyway." Akaseki nodded - Ranwu's family is bigger, after all, it was Tobirama's family before.
Ranwu glared at him - you can't speak, can you?
After the three people left, Danzo came to Hiruzen Sarutobi's office with a dark face.
But this time, before Danzo could speak, Hiruzen Sarutobi said first, "Danzo, I said... Yakushi Nonō has already quit Root. I don't want to see what happened at the entrance of the village again."
Obviously, Sarutobi is also very dissatisfied with Root's behavior just now - he can tolerate Danzo's small actions, but... he cannot tolerate Danzo. After he gave the clear order, he turned a deaf ear!
"Hiruzen, how many resources did we Root spend to cultivate an elite..." Danzo also wanted to explain.
"Do you want me to compensate you?" Sarutobi asked with a dark face.
Hearing this, Danzo quickly softened his tone and said, "Of course not, I mean... the most important thing is that she also knows many secrets of Root..."
"Okay! Then tell me what Root's secrets she knows. Let me see if they are right!" Hiruzen Sarutobi scolded.
When Danzo heard what Hiruzen said, he already realized that that bastard must have told Hiruzen Sarutobi about the "enemy orphans"!
Danzo only knew that Si usually paid attention to the situation of the orphans, but did not know that she had discovered "Wood Release Experiments".
But...
"She had inquired about Wood Release Experiments before, and I suspect she told Ranwu!" Danzo said with a dark face - he didn't know, but... it was just a frame-up.
Hiruzen frowned when he heard this, but couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Impossible, if Ranwu knew, she would have been unable to help but come and slap my table!"
Danzo:...
Danzo really wanted to say that it would be terrible if he didn't take pictures, but... he couldn't say it.
Because although Hiruzen unlocked "Wood Release Experiments" for him, it also restricted the scale. Root had a "secret laboratory" in Konoha. This was the only thing Hiruzen knew about, and not many people died here...
The real big bosses are all in the real secret laboratory outside the village, and the number of deaths is enough to break down the lower limit that Hiruzen can accept!
The one in the village was still screening qualified individuals, and then tried it carefully, and a total of three test subjects died. Not only were they all voluntarily cooperated, but they could also be said to be "accidents"; while the research outside the village was purely using human lives to trial and error, and selecting qualified products in batches.
But Danzo didn't dare to say these words to Hiruzen...
