Chapter 813 Can't Continue Acting
"Oshemaru still doesn't give up!"
I had just left here before, but I didn't expect to come back here not long after I left.
As the person involved and the assistant directly responsible to Hokage, Ethan reported to Tsunade what happened just now, and with the explanations from Sasuke and Naruto, the matter was already clear.
Orochimaru still coveted Sasuke Uchiha, so he sent his elite to 'kidnap' Sasuke.
That's right, kidnapping! This matter has been determined. As for the fact that Orochimaru asked his subordinates to persuade Uchiha Sasuke to defect, there is no need to emphasize it. After all, Sasuke did not choose to leave with him, but killed the invading sound ninja. This is enough to prove that Uchiha Sasuke There are currently no mutiny thoughts.
But... the guy next to him doesn't seem to think so.
Shimura Danzo, the person Ethan doesn't like the most in Konoha Village, this time he also appeared in Hokage's office, but maybe because the third generation was not dead and was there, Shimura Danzo showed his behavior from the beginning to the end He was very low-key, and didn't even say a word.
After listening to all the reports, the entire office fell into a dead silence.
What made them care was not only Orochimaru's unwillingness to give up, but also the weakness of Konoha's defense... Orochimaru's men came whenever he wanted, and Konoha seemed to be undefended, which made the high-level officials in the village feel ashamed .
Tsunade's expression was even uglier. She could guess why this happened. If it was her original self, she would have lost her temper a long time ago, but now that she has been Hokage for a while, she understands that the village is far from being as peaceful and peaceful as it appears on the surface. There are turbulent undercurrents under the surface, and there is no way to solve these problems simply by going crazy.
"What should I do next?"
"Strengthen the vigilance of the village... Also, do you want to strengthen the protection of that child Uchiha?"
"Are you kidding? Using precious power to protect a ninja? Even if his surname is Uchiha, this is impossible."
Several high-level officials disagree with the key protection of Uchiha Sasuke, and in fact, it is impossible for any village to agree with this decision.
No matter what the reason is, it doesn't make sense to use elite combat power to protect the ninja in the village.
"You can give Uchiha Sasuke to me."
Danzo, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, and he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he spoke.
"here you are?"
The two consultants, Xiaochun and Mitomonyan, suddenly fell silent. From their reactions, it can be known that these two must know something.
And the third Sarutobi Hiruzen who was on the side also thought of something, and frowned.
"Danzo, you don't mean to..."
"Konoha needs roots!"
Except for Ethan and Shizune, everyone present knew what the so-called "root" was. Even after Tsunade had a comprehensive understanding of Konoha after this period of time, he also knew what kind of existence the so-called root was.
On the surface, it is a training institution of Anbu, but under Danzo's hands, Gen has long developed into a completely separate department, specializing in some shady tasks.
In this regard, Danzo's reason is: someone needs to shoulder the darkness of the village!
However, in fact, Gen has become Danzo's personal armed forces. This department is not controlled by Hokage, and completely obeys Danzo's personal orders, and even assassinated three generations of Hokage.
After the Uchiha genocide incident, Gen was ordered to disband by the third generation, but those ninjas who were absolutely loyal to Danzo did not really disperse. Many people still stayed under Danzo, still only obeyed Danzo, and became Danzo’s private strength.
Some of these things Tsunade knew, some didn't, but Ethan knew them all.
As for Danzo wanting Uchiha Sasuke? The reason is similar to Orochimaru, it's all about the blood of the Uchiha family.
By the way, maybe he still wants to use this to rebuild the roots in a legitimate way-the roots are still in a state of disbandment, and later, perhaps with the support of the two consultants, Danzo reorganized the roots.
And now, Konoha's vigilance is relaxed, and being easily invaded seems to give him a suitable reason?
"Konoha doesn't need that kind of thing."
Tsunade rejected Danzo's proposal with almost no hesitation, including handing over Uchiha to him without agreeing, and even ignored this suggestion directly.
Because in her opinion, Danzo is not trustworthy at all!
Danzo was not surprised by Tsunade's refusal, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he glanced at the two consultants, and the two consultants really stood on Danzo's side, as if they wanted to persuade 'Master Hokage, Rebuild the roots! '.
"It's really interesting. It turns out that the people who make the decision in Konoha Village are not Hokage, but two advisors."
Just as the two old consultants were chattering non-stop, a sudden word came from the side that made the two of them stagnate suddenly.
These words are a bit harsh, maybe they really think so in their hearts, but it is another matter to really say it.
These people were not the only ones present, there were also several jounin including Shikahisa Nara. These people were all looking at the two advisors now, and they suddenly realized that this topic could not continue today.
At this time, the three generations who had been silent all along finally spoke up, smoothed things over for the two consultants, and ended the topic naturally.
But no matter how tactful, the emotions of everyone present were affected, and the matter would definitely not go on. Apart from strengthening the vigilance around Konoha to prevent further intruders, no other results were discussed.
Danzo and the two advisors left resolutely, and the jonin should work overtime and rest, and finally only Ethan, Tsunade, Jiraiya and the third generation remained.
Ethan looked around, and it seemed that this level of conversation was nothing to do with him, so he was also preparing to leave.
"and many more!"
It's a pity that his wishful thinking didn't work out, and he was stopped before he could take a step.
"Anything else to order?"
Tsunade bit his lip and seemed to be in a tangle, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, you go back!"
Ethan looked at Tsunade's expression, and obviously held back his anger. Could it be that he remembered his original promise and wanted to fulfill it: "Does Hokage-sama want me to kill Danzo?"
"Ethan!"
Forget about Jiraiya and Tsunade, Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't expect Ethan to say this, he was almost choked by the smoke, and what shocked him even more was that Tsunade was still frowning and thinking Get up: You don't really want to kill Danzo, do you?
"never mind."
Ethan didn't leave in a hurry this time, he didn't even think that Tsunade would really think about killing Danzo.
reason? It's not because Danzo's behavior is close to provocation, but Tsunade has already thought: Konoha Village's defense has repeatedly encountered problems, and Danzo is the most suspected!
"There is no evidence at present, it is not good to be reckless and startle the snake... Moreover, there are too many enemies outside Konoha at present..."
Tsunade's idea was just to search for evidence of Group possession, and then get rid of Group possession in a legitimate way.
It seems that only the first generation of Hokage in the past is more careless in doing things, thinking about what they want, and the rest are more rigid, and will not directly use force just because who is the most suspicious.
Including the second-generation Hokage Senjubama, who is most wary of the Uchiha family, he also first confirmed the current real thinking of the Uchiha people, and after confirming that he has no "difference" at the moment, he also accepted people from the Uchiha family as disciples to teach him personally .
Ethan looked at the third generation next to him whose brows were almost knit together, and suddenly he left in no hurry.
"There is actually a lot of evidence..."
"what?"
Tsunade and Jiraiya also raised their hands to look at Ethan. Danzo has been hiding in the dark, doing countless things, but rarely leaving any flaws. Although Tsunade knows that this product is not a good thing, he has never really dealt with it. What he does is because there is not enough evidence.
But Ethan said there was a lot of evidence?
"Go to Gen's base, the evidence is everywhere, you can arrange any charges you want."
"..."
Jiraiya also covered her face, and a well appeared on Tsunade's forehead. Ethan's meaning is not difficult to understand, but this is completely reversed from what they want: she wants enough evidence to attack Danzo , Ethan did it directly and then looked for evidence. If enough and serious evidence is found, it’s okay, but if nothing can be found, how can I, as Hokage, explain to the village?
"Confession? What explanation do you want? If the entire Uchiha clan is dead, how can I explain it? This time, I will explain it."
The three generations who said this sentence were particularly heart-wrenching, swallowed everything they wanted to say, and sat there quietly.
The office became silent again, perhaps to break the awkward atmosphere, Jiraiya also proposed to take Naruto out to practice.
He has already seen that the village is neither safe nor peaceful, and Naruto will be distracted by miscellaneous things if he stays in the village. Maybe it is a good choice to take him out for a trip to practice.
Tsunade did not object to Jiraiya's proposal, and with Jiraiya's reputation, no one in Konoha Village would object.
The matter of Naruto's going out to practice was settled in this way. After hesitating for a while, Tsunade suddenly asked Ethan a question.
"Since Orochimaru has repeatedly sent people to invade Konoha, does it mean that he has a hidden lair near Konoha?"
Of course this possibility exists, maybe it is within the territory of the Kingdom of Fire, even if it is not in the surrounding areas of the Kingdom of Fire, it is estimated that it will not be too far away.
"Ethan, I decided to ask you to lead a small team on a long-term mission to make sure that there are no Orochimaru's lairs around Konoha."
"Is this throwing me out of the village?"
"Yes, I'm worried that you will make a big incident quietly."
"Why is it so quiet? I must be making a lot of noise."
"Is this something to be proud of?"
Listening to the conversation between these two people, the third generation always felt that he might know a fake Ethan, and the character of this kid seemed a little different from before.
In fact, Ethan was a little immobile and began to show his true nature.
