"Hmph, who knows if they're actors you hired!" Shimura Danzo still tried to struggle.
"You!" The heads of the two families glared angrily at Shimura Danzo.
"I am a disciple of the Second Hokage. You think you can convict me with these fake facts? That's not enough!"
Danzo Shimura glared at Minato Namikaze.
At this moment, he also looked at the Third Hokage, wanting the other party to speak on his behalf, but found that the other party had already closed his eyes, and he felt extremely resentful.
"Enough." The Third Hokage looked even older now, and he opened his eyes.
Based on his understanding of Shimura Danzo, the other party might actually be capable of doing these things.
He looked at Shimura Danzo with those aged eyes, then asked, "Danzo, the position of Hokage—"
Is it really that important?
Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura immediately understood that the Third Hokage had ultimately chosen to believe Minato Namikaze's investigation.
He immediately became angry and said, "Enough! Stop pretending! It was only because I hesitated for a moment that you became Hokage. If I hadn't hesitated back then, I would have been the Third Hokage!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage closed his eyes in anguish.
"When did you become like this? Was I too lenient with you before?" The Third Hokage murmured to himself, his tone filled with self-reproach.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado also sighed and comforted the Third Hokage.
The surrounding Jonin, including Fugaku Uchiha, dared not speak; these were secrets unknown to them.
Moreover, at this stage, they also realized that Shimura Danzo might really be on the verge of downfall.
His current performance is nothing more than a death throes.
When Shimura Danzo saw this, he became even more furious. That was his Hokage position. If this guy hadn't given the Hokage position to Namikaze Minato, would he have ended up like this?
It's all Hiruzen Sarutobi's fault, and Minato Namikaze's too. Why didn't he die at the hands of the Nine-Tails?
"Minato, can you spare Danzo's life?" The Third Hokage spoke again. He couldn't bear to see his old comrade meet his end like this, and at least wanted to save his life.
Minato Namikaze fell silent. He hadn't expected that even at this point, the Third Hokage would still want to protect Danzo Shimura.
Fortunately, the Third Hokage did not insist on keeping Shimura Danzo in his position, which can be considered as achieving his basic goal.
Just then, an ANBU member entered the meeting room. Seeing the man's white hair, Minato Namikaze recognized him as his disciple, Kakashi Hatake.
At this moment, Takuno Minamoto asked Kakashi Hatake to come back.
Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up.
"You can say whatever it is," Minato Namikaze instructed.
Kakashi Hatake spoke up, "Hokage-sama, the Root members have rebelled. They received your orders but refused to obey and are now fighting desperately. The Vice-Captain is leading the other members to suppress the rebels and sent me to inform you, Hokage."
The Third Hokage was also taken aback and couldn't help but look at Minato Namikaze, only then realizing that the meeting Minato had convened this time had actually already made a decision, rather than coming to discuss it.
"Minato Namikaze! How dare you send people to investigate my organization!" Danzo Shimura exclaimed, his eyes wide.
"That's an organization from Konoha. As the Hokage of Konoha, I have the right to investigate it. Now I also want to ask you, what's going on with your members not even listening to the Hokage's orders?" Minato Namikaze retorted.
Danzo Shimura was somewhat speechless. He didn't know whether to be grateful for the loyalty of his organization's members or to scold them for their stupidity.
Since we cannot defend ourselves, we can only refute from other angles.
"Even so, as Hokage, you shouldn't have sent people to kill your own people!"
"Lord Danzo, you are mistaken. The members of Root did not contribute anything to Konoha during the Nine-Tails' attack, and now they only obey Lord Danzo's orders, completely ignoring the Hokage's orders. Are they still Konoha ninjas? Or are they merely Danzo's henchmen?"
Fugaku Uchiha smiled and said, "This is the first time I've called him 'Lord Danzo,'" but it sounded somewhat sarcastic.
"Is there anything else you want to say now?" Minato Namikaze looked at Danzo Shimura with icy eyes.
Danzo Shimura's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Minato Namikaze's cold gaze, then at the Third Hokage's closed eyes, and at the evasive eyes of the two advisors.
Besides, he could feel the Jonin present staring at him with mocking eyes.
When did he ever fall into such a predicament?
Did he do something wrong?
No, he did absolutely nothing wrong. The mistake was that the Second Hokage didn't pass the Hokage position to him, and the mistake was that the Third Hokage passed the position to Minato Namikaze after stepping down!
He's not wrong! The problem lies with Konoha!
Suddenly, a terrifying surge of chakra erupted from Shimura Danzo's body.
the other side.
After Shimura Danzo went to the Hokage's meeting room, Minamoto Takuno led dozens of Anbu members into the Root's base.
"Who are you?!"
The Root ninjas saw the approaching Anbu and immediately shouted a question.
"We are Anbu sent by the Hokage to investigate Root." Genji Takuno said, instructing the Anbu beside him to remove the Hokage's hand—
The edict was handed over to the ninjas led by Root.
After receiving the edict, the man hesitated for a moment before saying, "We need to consult Lord Danzo before we can make a decision."
"Oh? Then guess why we came here right after Shimura Danzo left?" Takuno asked, looking at the other person with interest.
Immediately, the root-like figure opened his eyes wide, as if he had understood.
"So, are you still going to stop us now?" Yuan Tuoye suddenly asked.
The root stood there in a daze, and at this moment, the other roots also gathered around and stood behind him.
At this point, he didn't know what to do. If he let the other party pass, then Lord Danzo would definitely punish him severely for his incompetence when he returned. If he didn't let the other party pass, then he would be disobeying the Hokage's orders.
"Obstructing us is tantamount to disobeying the Hokage's orders, and only rogue ninjas disobey the Hokage's orders. You should think carefully before making a decision!" Gen Takuno said again.
Immediately, everyone in the root group hesitated.
However, just as they hesitated, a shuriken was suddenly thrown from somewhere and aimed at Gen Takuya!
"Vice-Captain, watch out!" Kakashi Hatake, who was standing nearby, noticed the shuriken and drew his kunai to block it.
"It seems you've made your choice. Everyone, begin cleaning up the rogue ninja!" Gen Takuno snorted coldly and gave the order directly.
The members of the Dark Division did not hesitate. They were also furious that the other party dared to directly attack their deputy captain, which showed that they were completely disregarded!
So after receiving Gen Takuno's order, he rushed forward without any hesitation.
"No, wait, we didn't—"
The Root ninja wanted to yell at the person who had attacked, asking if they were trying to kill them by acting without his orders.
But at this point, nothing they said mattered. Faced with the rushing Dark Guards, they had no choice but to fight; otherwise, they would die!
Just as Kakashi Hatake was about to rush forward, Takuno Minamoto grabbed him.
"Vice Captain?" Kakashi Hatake looked at Takuno Minamoto with some confusion.
"Go and inform the Hokage that the Root ninjas have disobeyed the Hokage's orders and rebelled, and that they have attacked the Anbu. This might be useful to the Hokage," said Minamoto Takuno.
When Kakashi Hatake heard this, he also realized that this matter would be useful to Minato Namikaze. Although he was young, he could understand that this situation was really big.
His teacher must have wanted to do something, so he didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
Gen Takuno watched Kakashi Hatake's departing figure and chuckled. Without the other's Sharingan, things would be much easier.
However, he definitely cannot make a move.
Gen Takuno looked at the battle before him. Every member of Root was a carefully selected ninja, but so were the Anbu, especially the Anbu squad leaders.
Their combat strength is no less than that of a Jonin.
From the direction from which the sword had just been shot, stood a dark figure—it was Gen Takuno's shadow clone.
If the Root ninjas were given the choice, they might actually obey the Hokage's orders.
However, he couldn't possibly let him accept it!
At this moment, he formed hand seals and used a transformation technique to become an inconspicuous member of the Dark Guard on the other side of the battlefield, and also rushed into the battlefield.
His target was the smallest member of the Root. Although the opponent was forced to fight after the battle began, he seemed to be confused and did not understand what was happening.
Yamato, no, now it should be A, was indeed very confused at this moment.
He didn't understand why the other party would fight them when they were all Konoha ninjas, and why he had become a Konoha rogue ninja.
Moreover, he remembered that all the Root ninjas who remained here seemed to have gathered here, so why were shuriken shooting out from the corner?
All of this puzzled him greatly.
But no one would give him a chance to explain, and he could only slowly resist everything.
Suddenly, a voice reached his ears, making him open his eyes wide instantly.
I'm sorry.
Then, he wanted to use his full power and unleash his Wood Release, but at this point he could no longer feel his own chakra, let alone use Wood Release with chakra.
Why is that?
Before falling, A saw the ANBU behind him and the two-tomoe Sharingan under the other's mask.
After finishing his task, Gen Takuno's shadow clone nodded to the ANBU members on the other side, who then nodded and went to another battlefield to continue helping.
At this moment, the shadow clone secretly exchanged with Yamato using a substitute that had been prepared in advance. Then, he found a direction to continue helping, and found an opportunity to be hit by a Root ninja and dispel the shadow clone.
Yuan Tuoye's true form watched this scene and a smile crept onto his lips.
In this way, Yamato, no, Wood Release, will be obtained.
With his chakra reserves, the power of his Wood Release is definitely not weak. If he were to further enhance his Wood Release with the help of Hashirama cells, his strength would rise even higher!
