Utatane Koharu: Am I the New Generation's Pot Kage?

If it had been someone else, they would probably have gritted their teeth and taken the blame. After all, if these words got out, they would damage the Third Hokage's reputation.

But Jingyi would not take the blame for the Third Hokage.

It was true that he had brought back the information, but he had warned them!

Kumogakure might have looked suitable, but it actually carried risks. Iwagakure was poor and needed Konoha's help, but Ōnoki of Iwagakure was more patient.

"Homura, you..."

Utatane Koharu could not believe that Mitokado Homura had sold her out so directly.

The Third Hokage stared at him in shock as well.

Well, well, Mitokado Homura. You might
