Hiruzen Sarutobi only now realizes what Shimura Danzō had done.
That guy Shimura Danzō, has angered all the blood-stained secret technique families in the village.
" Minato, take me back to the village!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was filled with undisguised rage.
He had repeatedly emphasized to Shimura Danzō not to recruit people, but unexpectedly, the other party not only did not restrain himself but became even more brazen!
Doesn't this mean that Hiruzen Sarutobi is bad at judging people?
Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger was about to overflow.
Konoha
" Lord Hokage, we're back."
Minato Namikaze brought Hiruzen Sarutobi to the Akimichi Clan's territory.
This is the mark he left last time.
"Head straight to the Hokage Building!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly left the Akimichi Clan's territory.
He saw many members of the Akimichi Clan looking at him with hostility.
He felt that if he didn't deal with Shimura Danzō's matter soon, a major riot might break out in the village.
" Shimura Danzō..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
Hokage Building
Hokage's Office
At that moment, Shimura Danzō methodically grading documents when he suddenly heard a rapid knocking on the door.
"Enter!"
Shimura Danzō said without even looking up.
" Danzo, the Lord Hokage is back!"
The Root member hurriedly said to Shimura Danzō.
"What?"
Shimura Danzō quickly stood up.
"That's right, I've not only come, I've arrived!"
Just as Shimura Danzō was thinking about how to get out of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice, suppressed with rage, rang out!
" Monkey, let me explain..."
Shimura Danzō quickly spoke to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
But before he could finish speaking, the enraged Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed Shimura Danzō into the wall with a punch!
"Remove him from his high-ranking position, release all members of the Root, and then put him in jail!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were filled with indifference.
"Yes!"
Minato Namikaze nodded, then punched Shimura Danzō unconscious.
Shimura Danzō was powerless to resist, nor did he want to.
Because the Monkey is here, he can't beat the Monkey.
If he doesn't resist, the Monkey might release him; if he does resist, the Monkey will really drag him away and behead him as a warning.
The Root members tried to stop Minato Namikaze, but were intimidated by a single glance from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Shimura Danzō was thus imprisoned, and the members of the various families who had been sent to Root returned to their families.
However, a rift has also developed between them and the village.
These families realized that they were not important to the village, and that their resistance was futile when the village wanted to eliminate them.
Even though the person had been sent back, each clan only symbolically sent a few clan members of Chunin rank.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that this incident had chilled the hearts of these families, and it would be impossible to recover in a few months or even years.
"Once the war is over, I should abdicate."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly, knowing that only by abdicating could the village and his clan be appeased.
As for Shimura Danzō, he was well-fed and cared for while in prison.
After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi, so Shimura Danzō Hiruzen Sarutobi he died.
He planned to Shimura Danzō for a few months, and then release him after the Root was completely disbanded.
Without the Root, Shimura Danzō's ability to cause trouble was essentially zero.
The Tongue Eradication Technique" can also be dispelled; a Kage Level expert can slowly erase it with Chakra.
Hiruzen Sarutobi can do this; it's just a matter of time.
Having resolved the village's affairs, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed as he looked at the forty-odd Chunin- level clan ninjas behind him.
There was practically no support from the family this time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to recruit another batch of Jonin from the village.
There were probably over a hundred of them, which wasn't a lot, but Hiruzen Sarutobi felt it was just about enough.
Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was the next day.
Iwagakure Garrison
"Attack!"
With a wave of his hand, all the ninja from Iwagakure Ōnoki mobilized!
Except for those who were truly unable to move, all the other ninjas came out in full force!
" Lord Hokage, something terrible has happened! Iwagakure has launched a full-scale attack!"
The ninja in charge of reconnaissance immediately reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi after sensing a large amount of Chakra.
"I didn't expect them to be so decisive..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi never expected that Iwagakure would decide to mobilize the entire village just the next day.
Shouldn't we test the waters first?
Does Iwagakure not even intend to test the waters?
Hiruzen Sarutobi Iwagakure n't understand why Iwagakure was so reckless. Weren't they afraid of an ambush?
"Dan, you and Minato lead the ninja forces to intercept them!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was puzzled, but there was nothing he could do.
The only option was to have Dan Katō and Minato lead the ninja forces to confront Iwagakure and buy themselves more time to recuperate.
While their own three men were struggling, they were enough to hold off Didaze and Ōnoki.
It might cause problems over a long period of time, but it should be fine in the short term.
It can be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi has placed almost all of his hopes on Minato Namikaze.
After all, he still remembered how Minato Namikaze defeated Kari last time.
He believed that Minato Namikaze could lead Konoha to turn the tide of the battle.
Just like Didaze led Iwagakure.
"Kill!"
The Iwagakure ninja have arrived at the Konoha camp.
They came with anger this time, after all, it hadn't been long since the last Konoha sneak attack.
The morale of the Iwagakure ninjas was at its highest at this moment, and they didn't need Didaze to give them much encouragement. A few simple words were enough to unite all the Iwagakure ninjas in their hatred of the enemy.
"Dan, Minato, it's all up to you now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the two of them a deep look, then led Orochimaru and Tsunade to intercept Didaze.
" Lord Hokage, I will not let you down..."
Minato Namikaze sensed Hiruzen Sarutobi's expectations, expectations that weighed heavily on his shoulders.
It can be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi staked everything Konoha had on him and Dan.
" Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"
Didaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the other two have already clashed, and Minato Namikaze has also begun to take the enemy in front of him seriously.
But suddenly he heard a familiar voice!
It's you!
Minato Namikaze stared in horror at the person who was Hand Seals and releasing a clone.
Isn't this the same Uzumaki Clan member who used the Adamantine Sealing Chains to control him last time?
Why does she know Wood Release?!
Nanako ignored Minato Namikaze and distributed her Chakra among her clones.
Nanako's body kept creating clones, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of clones appeared!
Each clone possesses Chakra equivalent to that of an ordinary Jonin.
Although Nanako had a lot of Chakra, releasing dozens of clones still made her feel strained.
Nanako stopped releasing more clones, then signaled dozens of clones to surround Minato Namikaze!
