Mitokado Homura shot the Third Hokage a disdainful look, then decisively rose and left. Before going, he did not forget to remind the Third Hokage:
"Keep an eye on Koharu yourself. As for Danzo... forget it, I'd better not go see him. I don't want to get too involved with them right now."

So she turned around and went
