There Are Plenty of Ways to Make Him Cooperate

Hiruzen Sarutobi initially intended to suggest dismissal, but upon seeing Yun Yan's Mangekyō Sharingan, he swallowed hard and ultimately delivered what he considered the most severe punishment:

"Remove him from all his posts and imprison him in Konoha Prison to await trial. How about he awaits your trial?"

Yun Yan suddenly smiled, but it was unclear whether this smile reflected his satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the handling of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

What am I waiting for my trial for?

"Old Sarutobi, I have no official position, no power whatsoever. I'm just a lowly Anbu captain. What right do I have to judge a Konoha elder?"

Seeing that Yun Yan still seemed unwilling to act without seeing any benefit, Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly troubled and began to consider whether he should directly appoint Yun Yan as an elder of Konoha.

Since the current elders are all useless anyway, having another Kage Level expert as an elder won't hurt.

Who knew Yun Yan wasn't there? He shook his head and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi:

"I am not qualified to judge Danzo, nor are you. Only the people and ninjas of Konoha are qualified to judge this old dog."

I demand that after this matter is over, a public trial be held within Konoha. At the trial, Danzo must confess in detail to all of Konoha all the evil deeds he has committed, and then face trial."

Upon hearing this request, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat; he understood.

Yun Yan is determined to Danzo to the pillar of shame in Konoha's history, so that he can't be pried off, and to ensure that he is thoroughly infamous for eternity, never to rise again!

Thinking about it this way, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine. If Danzo really ended up like that, it would be truly tragic...

But... seeing Yun Yan's resolute attitude and his crimson Mangekyō Sharingan, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that this matter seemed truly unavoidable, and there was no other way to stop it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have aged several years in an instant. He slumped behind his desk, finally nodding helplessly.

"Alright, Yun Yan, I agree with your idea. After this is over, we will hold a public trial within Konoha and put Konoha on trial in front of all the Danzo."

"Old man Sarutobi, don't forget the important point. The important point is that Danzo must confess to the evil deeds he committed."

Raising his eyelids, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Yun Yan with utter helplessness, his mind filled with a sense of despair and a feeling of utter hopelessness.

"Danzo will definitely not accept this. Even if he sits in the public trial, facing accusations from the common people and Konoha, he certainly won't reveal what he did. He'll just say something like, 'Everything I did was for Konoha...'"

Yun Yan smiled, his expression unconcerned.

"It's okay. There are plenty of ways to make him cooperate if he doesn't. At worst, we can use the same method again. I'll use my Mangekyō Sharingan to control him and make him stand on the public bench and tell everyone the truth, as truthfully as possible."

Is this the only option left? But a public trial is absolutely necessary.

What else could Hiruzen Sarutobi say? He couldn't care less about anything else now; his main goal was to appease Yun Yan. No matter what Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

Thus, Yun Yan and Hiruzen Sarutobi reached a preliminary agreement to ease tensions and also decided on the next course of action against Danzo.

The conflict over this matter has been temporarily suppressed. Next, both Yun Yan and Hiruzen Sarutobi will need to directly confront another conflict, and this one is an external one.

Releasing Danzo's hair, Yun Yan looked at the Kumogakure delegation members who had been watching the show from the sidelines, especially at Dodai, whose expression was somewhat solemn.

Unlike the young people in the mission who were simply watching the drama unfold and enjoying the spectacle, Dodai had already realized something.

This Uchiha is an unpredictable Uchiha, and being an opponent of such a person is a terrifying thing; he might be even more unreasonable than your own side.

If that's the case, the situation seems really troublesome; I'm finding it difficult to deal with him. How will things develop next?

Sure enough, Yun Yan's first words to them were full of the unpredictability that this guy didn't play by the rules:

"How was this show, everyone? The internal conflicts and sordid affairs of Konoha must have been quite interesting to watch, right? Would you like to share your thoughts afterward?"

Yun Yan's words were clearly sarcastic, and it's unclear whether the young members of the Kumogakure delegation understood. However, some Kumogakure ninjas immediately voiced their opinions:

"The situation inside your Konoha is truly fascinating. I have no comment, but I feel this matter should be made into a book, a novel, and published throughout the entire Shinobi World, so that the whole Shinobi World can see what's going on inside Konoha."

Yun Yan seemed to have actually accepted this suggestion, and he even seemed to be seriously considering it:

"Oh... that does sound interesting. Like I just said, nothing is truly harmless until you expose the rotten stuff to the sun. Only by exposing everything to the elements can we possibly eliminate these malignant tumors."

So, to publicize these internal affairs of Konoha to the entire Shinobi World and simply turn them into a book is quite interesting, and I'm even a little tempted to do so.

It seems like Jiraiya has been writing a book lately, hasn't he? Although his books are a bit unorthodox, at least he has some writing talent. How about we let him write this one?

Upon hearing this, another member of the Kumogakure delegation, who also appeared to have seen "Make-Out Paradise," immediately brightened up and nodded vigorously.

"Jiraiya? I've read his works too. If it's a book he wrote, and if it's really about these things in Konoha, I'll definitely buy a copy."

Unexpectedly, Yun Yan smiled and shook his head:

"Sigh, buying only one book doesn't do justice to all the wonderful stories within Konoha, and it doesn't really count as supporting Konoha. My suggestion is to buy three books directly."

One book for personal reading, one book to keep as a treasure, and one book for spreading the word—wouldn't it be wonderful to do all three at once?

Although he didn't quite understand what Yun Yan meant by missionary work, this person surprisingly found his words very reasonable and even nodded in agreement.

Listening to Yun Yan and the young men under his command exchanging pleasantries, seemingly sharing a common language, Dodai's face darkened. He truly felt that things were out of his control, and he didn't know how to respond or make a move.

Filled with apprehension and fear, Dodai suddenly became serious and shouted sternly at the young man behind him:

"Enough! Stop with the nonsense! Have you forgotten that we came here to negotiate with Konoha?"

Well... you know what, they actually forgot about it. If Dodai hadn't reminded them, they would have completely forgotten that this was a negotiation. After all, they were thoroughly enjoying this spectacle.

The Dodai still held considerable authority. After reprimanding his subordinates, the young men quieted down and their expressions became serious.

After reprimanding them and restoring order within the Kumogakure delegation, Dodai smiled sheepishly at Yun Yan, then looked at the utterly dejected Hiruzen Sarutobi behind his desk:

"Lord Hokage, shouldn't we continue negotiating? After all, we haven't reached a conclusion on this matter yet."

Seeing that Dodai had suddenly become so polite and respectful, completely different from his attitude just now, Hiruzen Sarutobi was dumbfounded and felt a little frustrated.

You... you've actually become so obedient, so well-behaved, so polite? The change in your attitude is just too drastic!

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi vaguely realized a reality.

That is, when facing such an unreasonable and domineering opponent, reasoning with him is useless, and retreating is also useless.

The best approach is to use Yun Yan's method, which is to be completely reckless and disregard all established rules. This way, you can intimidate the opponent.

Who's the most powerful person in the Hokage's office right now? Clearly, it's Yun Yan sitting next to him.

This Dodai swept past Yun Yan and faced him directly, yet they claimed they wanted to continue negotiations. This was clearly a sign that they didn't want to confront Yun Yan; they wanted to bully him, the easy target, hoping that the situation would remain favorable to them.

So that's how it is. I'm really that bad? In their eyes, I'm just an easy target?

Realizing the truth was undoubtedly painful, but Hiruzen Sarutobi knew what he had to do. After careful consideration, he didn't directly answer Dodai's question, but instead looked at Yun Yan beside him:

"Yun Yan, what do you think about this? Should you formally participate in this negotiation?"
