Konoha-Style Taijutsu Secret Art: One Thousand Years of Death (A Grand Chapter of 8000 Characters)

No one else knew what Danzo was thinking.

At that moment, in the Hokage Office, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood before the office window, watching the civilians below demanding a thorough investigation into spies. He was somewhat puzzled. "Why are they suddenly demanding a thorough investigation into spies?"

"Hokage-sama, it was because of what Yuki Yuichi said."

The Anbu stood behind him and then relayed Yuki Yuichi's words exactly as they had been spoken.

He had a favorable impression of Yuki Yuichi, who had spoken up to help.

As an Anbu at the Third Hokage's side, he naturally knew why Hatake Sakumo's mission had failed.

He actually admired people like that.

Besides, if Konoha had more people like him, the lives of ninja like them would be better protected, though the village might suffer severe losses as a result.

As he thought this, the Anbu secretly glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, then stopped dwelling on it.

It had nothing to do with a lowly Anbu like him.

After hearing the Anbu repeat Yuki Yuichi's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a sigh.

"He already thinks like a Hokage."

As he spoke, he turned to the Anbu behind him. "Go calm the civilians."

"Then catch a few of the village's spies."

"After that, make a trip to Root and tell Danzo to behave himself. If there's a next time, Root won't need to exist anymore."

"Yes!" the Anbu answered.

After the Anbu left, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued looking at the civilians outside the window. "It hasn't even been a day since the news of the mission failure came back, and rumors are already spreading through the village."

Never before had Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Konoha's civilians were this foolish.

They had taken something that could be understood with just a little thought as the truth.
