Hokage Office at this time.
Not only Third Hokage, but also two Advisor, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, and Strategist Shikaku who rushed back from outside the village later. Everyone's faces were not good-looking and they were very serious.
"The information about the Orochimaru base provided by Danzo has also been confirmed to be a trap."
"Stealing Shisui Uchiha's body, conducting forbidden research, suspected of secretly colluding with Missing-nin Orochimaru, and providing false information with the intention of assassinating Hokage..."
The charges were confirmed one by one. Even Konoha Advisor, two people who knew Danzo and Third well, had no idea of interceding for Danzo in the face of the ironclad facts -
After all, this time Third was directly in front of them, allowing them to witness what Danzo did.
From the perspective of standing in the darkness of the village to protect Konoha, Danzo has already gone above and beyond.
Any unspoken rules that are hidden behind closed doors cannot be put on the table.
Once on the table, you can only act according to the rules on the surface, unless the other party has value that you must protect even if you break the rules.
But it is obvious that in the hearts of the two Advisor, the current Danzo no longer has this value.
"Root members, have you disclosed anything else?"
"No, according to Ibiki's torture, there is a high probability that they have been drugged by Sealing Jutsu. No information can be obtained from them."
Shikaku shook his head.
But this is no longer important.
It is no longer possible for Danzo to escape guilt for his previous actions.
The only problem left now is -
What to do with Danzo?
Third was silent for a long time, sighed, and finally made a decision.
"For the time being, let's imprison him in Prison."
After leaving Hokage Office, Shikaku Nara was walking home, not in a good mood.
"Hey, Shikaku!"
When passing by Barbecue Restaurant, he only heard a call to himself. He turned around and saw his old comrade Choza Akimichi greeting him through the window, and another old friend Inoichi Yamanaka was also sitting opposite at this time.
As Shikaku Nara entered Barbecue Restaurant, the three of them changed to a private room.
"So, Danzo... he won't be dealt with yet?"
"It cannot be said that he was not dealt with, deprived of his rights, and imprisoned in Prison. If nothing happens, it should be a lifelong matter."
"But compared to what he did, it's too light."
"And we didn't even use punishment to make him explain everything clearly. When Hiashi captured him before, I noticed that half of his body was not right... So it seems that Third is still soft-hearted?"
"Okay."
Shikaku Nara waved his hand, indicating to old friends not to discuss this matter anymore.
"No matter what, it's at least a good thing, isn't it?"
Inoichi Yamanaka also saw what Shikaku was thinking. As the person in charge of Konoha Analysis Corps, although he did not participate in the previous discussion in Hokage Office, he roughly guessed the result because he did not receive the task at this time.
After all, although the members of Root were drugged Sealing Jutsu and were unable to speak, Secret Technique of the Yamanaka Clan can directly read minds.
The high-level officials did not notify themselves to do this, which most likely means that they do not want everything Danzo and Root to do to be exposed.
"Come on, come on, stop talking, stop thinking, let's have another drink."
As for Choza Akimichi, the only pure martial arts sect among Ino-Shika-Cho, looking at the sad faces of the two old guys, he quickly handed over a large bowl of wine.
"No, no, if I drink too much, I'll be raped by Yoshino again..."
"Hahaha, Shikaku you are still so afraid of your wife!"
"Not just my wife." Seeing that his old friend wanted to change the atmosphere, Shikaku followed the topic, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, sighing, "There is also that boy Shikamaru. Although he doesn't talk about it like his mother, he won't look good on me after I drink too much. Plus his personality..."
"When children grow up, they will despise their parents for not being good enough. The more they understand, the more so."
Inoichi Yamanaka also sighed and said, "It's just that you two are sons and it's easier to talk. I really don't know how to communicate with Ino... She won't talk to me when she comes home, and I don't understand the flowers and plants she tinkers with..."
"Girls, there is a high probability that they have someone they like at this age, right? Your Ino is so cute, you have to worry, don't be like that little girl Hyuga Clan, who has long..."
"No way? Haven't you heard her say that?"
"You already said that she won't talk to you, so how did you hear about it? You know, women will become gentle in front of the men they love the most. The worse your daughter's attitude towards you, the more she hates you..."
After Choza Akimichi pulled the large piece of Yakiniku on the table into his mouth, he watched his old friend sigh for the child again, and asked with some confusion, "Does your child have as many thoughts as you?"
"Compared with your Choji, I'm sure... I was unhappy when I saw Choji last time. I told you that uncle bought you a pack of snacks, and I immediately laughed out loud."
"That is, my Choji doesn't take anything seriously. If she cries and makes trouble when she is a child, a meal Yakiniku can solve it!"
"Hahaha, that saves worry."
As I chatted with old friends about issues between parents and children, Shikaku Nara's mood improved a lot.
"... In a blink of an eye, they are almost reaching their age."
Inoichi Yamanaka looked out the window, the dusk sunlight shone through the branches, giving the street a warm look.
"Yes, time flies so fast."
"I don't know what Konoha will be like in the future. I hope that the hard-won peace now..." Shikaku Nara raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, thinking, "It would be nice if it lasted longer."
"You just said you wouldn't drink anymore."
"Tsk... forget it, I've already drank. I'll stop drinking once I'm drunk. It's full!"
night.
As soon as the swaying Shikaku Nara opened the door, his wife Yoshino Nara scolded him. He kept nodding his head and admitting his mistake, which quickly made his wife lose her temper. Then she went to prepare sobering soup for her husband.
"Dad, you should drink less."
"I didn't drink much..."
Shikaku Nara leaned against the wall and slowly slid down, but still subconsciously replied.
"It's so troublesome..." Shikamaru Nara, with his hair tied up in the sky, sighed, looked helplessly at his father who was lying in the entrance hall and was about to fall asleep, rolled up his sleeves and dragged him back to the room.
"What a stinky Dad. I've never seen him drink so much on weekdays."
Shikamaru Nara wiped the sweat from his forehead, waved his hands in disgust, trying to dispel the smell of alcohol in the room, and then went out to find his mother to bring her some hangover soup.
"Dad, drink this soup..."
Not long after, Shikamaru Nara walked in with soup, but heard a snore coming from the bed.
"Already asleep, tsk."
After scratching his head, Shikamaru Nara returned to the kitchen with the hangover soup.
"Is he asleep?"
Yoshino Nara looked at the full bowl of hangover soup and frowned and asked.
"Well, sound asleep."
"Is that so..." However, Yoshino Nara, who had always been angry at her husband for drinking, was stunned. He took the sobering soup and poured it away, whispering softly, "It seems that something quite disturbing has happened."
"Huh? Mom, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, let him go to sleep, and you should have a rest early!" Yoshino Nara sent his son away, cleaned up the kitchen and sighed, "I'll just get up early tomorrow and cook some porridge for him. A hangover won't be pleasant..."
