"I have no objections." Danzo's expression was grim, but he still nodded.
He had expected this, but Hiruzen Sarutobi's decisiveness still caught him off guard.
The previous Hiruzen Sarutobi had not been this decisive.
It seemed the disappearance of an entire clan had placed immense psychological pressure on the normally steady Sarutobi as well.
He was afraid it would have some enormous impact on Konoha.
This time, Danzo had come to take the blame. Combined with Sarutobi's usual tolerance toward him, he was dealt with while they were at it.
The other two advisors also nodded, feeling that this was a good way to handle it.
Danzo had indeed been too extreme lately. He needed time to settle down.

However, the matters that needed resolving still had to be resolved.
"Then, the next matter is Konoha's security.
Through this Uchiha incident, we have seen that the village's sensory troops lack sufficient protection.
What are everyone's thoughts?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi addressed all the higher-ups present.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone discussed it for a while. In the end, Shikaku Nara suggested strengthening the Sensory Division's guards and adjusting the sensory barrier to prevent rogue ninjas such as the defected Itachi Uchiha and Orochimaru from leaking intelligence.
No one objected to that.
This incident had shown everyone how weak Konoha's defenses were. Although it would increase spending and place greater pressure on Konoha, it would provide a stronger sense of security.
"Then the second matter: designate Itachi as an S-rank rogue ninja and notify the other villages at the same time."
This order was meant to prevent the other villages from using Itachi Uchiha as an excuse
