Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down.

Chapter 346 Wood Release Ninja: Yamato!

"Kakashi...?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the door that was knocked open, Kakashi who was surrounded in the middle, and the Root ninjas tied up beside him, with an extremely ugly expression.

He had already guessed the situation.

Because he was the one who sent Kakashi to carry out the mission, and now the mission has been completed, but he has also been discovered by others.

That's right!

Previously, when Kakashi was searching Orochimaru's mansion, he found a document containing records of Wood Release research.

There is nothing much to say about this. Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knew about this, but he didn't hold any hope at all.

If I really wanted to succeed, I would have done it long ago. Why would I wait until now?

However, the data shows that in previous experiments, there were already test subjects who had mastered "Wood Release", and that person had been hidden by the roots.

How can this work!

Sarutobi Hiruzen could tolerate other things, but this was something he really couldn't tolerate.

Because Wood Release was so important to Konoha, Kakashi was immediately arranged to find a way to bring the person back.

It's not that he didn't want to send other people, but he was very clear about how serious the infiltration of the Root into the Anbu was, so in order to keep it secret, Kakashi had to act alone.

Now the mission succeeded, but it also failed.

The experimental subject was brought back successfully, but was not kept secret.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama!"

Kakashi lowered his head in shame.

Although one cannot see the expression beneath the mask, everyone can sense his guilt.

“Mission accomplished!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't blame Kakashi either.

After all, it is already good enough to bring back a Wood Release Ninja from the Root, and it would be too much to ask to keep it a secret.

This is also Tang Ping's plan.

If the information on Wood Release research was given to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would naturally handle it in a low-key manner.

Even if he himself, the Hokage, was assassinated by the Root, he could handle it with an attitude of 'interest', let alone this kind of thing.

So other people must know it too.

It is extremely easy to do this. Just choose a place to arrest someone.

With Hinata Sogetsu around and knowing the general intelligence of 'Jia', they have already locked onto his whereabouts. They just need to wait until he leaves the Root and when there are people from the Konohagakure around him and then take action.

Once the opponent resists, I will use Wood Release, and my goal will be achieved.

Kakashi even prolonged the battle, allowing several clan leaders who rushed over after hearing the news to see remaining traces of Wood Release.

It's a natural thing!

There was absolutely no flaw in Kakashi's execution of the mission, but the truth was revealed.

It looks normal, but it’s designed everywhere.

"Hokage-sama, we need an answer!"

Under the gazes of the other clan leaders, Nara Shikaku stood up helplessly.

There is no other way. He is a Hokage and the 'Military Advisor of Konoha'. If he doesn't stand up at this time, when will he stand up?

If it were any other clan leader, if they stood up, they would be suspected of forcing the emperor to abdicate, but only the Hokage clan did not do that.

This is Wood Release!!

In the past, the 'God of Ninja' relied on Wood Release to conquer the world and swept across the ninja world. Now that he has appeared again, who wouldn't be shocked?

In fact, compared to this, Orochimaru's defection is not a big deal.

But there was another person in the office whose emotions were as surging as the waves.

Danzo!

Naturally, he recognized at first sight who the masked Root brat caught by Kakashi was.

First!
He wouldn't be so excited if it was any other subordinate.

The problem is that the other party is the only experimental subject who has mastered Wood Release during his collaboration with Orochimaru.

"Hiruzen!" Danzo suddenly looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked, "How do you know..."

He really didn't expect that the other party would know about this.

You know, even Orochimaru didn't know about this.

Jia was the experimental subject who survived the experiment by chance. Orochimaru always thought that the transplantation of Wood Release Bloodline Limit was not successful at all.

But even his partner Orochimaru didn't know about this, so why would Sarutobi Hiruzen know about it?

Obviously, Tang Ping played this move very interestingly.

Since the person was hidden by Danzo, he naturally could not take the initiative to ask Orochimaru, and Sarutobi Hiruzen could not know it from Orochimaru, and the other party was not aware of the existence of A.

Afterwards, even if they had the chance to hear Orochimaru's explanation, the two would only think that he deliberately lied to them.

Anyway, the truth of this matter can only be known if the three of them confront each other openly and firmly believe in what the others say. But is this possible?

It was possible before, but since Orochimaru's defection, it has become impossible.

In response to Danzo's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Danzo, how dare you use Hashirama-sama's corpse..."

At this moment, he was like an enraged lion, as if if Danzo answered carelessly, he would pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

'so smart!'

Dohei, who retreated to the corner to watch the show, couldn't help but sigh that compared to Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed smarter in politics.

Originally, the major ninja clans had doubts about his intention as the Hokage, but his attitude was almost as if he was saying that he knew nothing about it.

In this way, he could put all the blame on Danzo, while he himself would still be "innocent as ice and jade".

Well...even if he himself doesn't know it.

"Danzo..."

Utatane Koharu also looked at Danzo in disbelief.

It is self-evident what the name Senju Hashirama represents in Konoha. Using the other party's corpse for experiments is simply courting death.

"I'm doing this for Konoha, even the teacher will forgive me!"

There was no trace of fear on Danzo's face.

Because he really thought so!
The purpose of studying Wood Release is to make Konoha great again, without any selfish motives at all.

As for the teacher?

Sorry, the coffin lid was nailed very firmly, and the other party could not lift the coffin lid and jump out to scold him, so he could be regarded as "accepting" to experiment on himself.

I can only say that Danzo is really stubborn.

Even in front of so many people, he didn't feel guilty at all.

"you you…"

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt like his chest was about to explode with anger.

You did something that insulted the previous Hokage, and you acted like you did nothing wrong. Are you trying to piss yourself off to death?

The most important thing is that there are so many ninja clan leaders here. If Danzo is not punished, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.

Because this set a very bad precedent.

If you can use the corpse of the first generation for experiments just for the sake of bloodline limit, what do you think other people will think?

The Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan, etc. all have bloodline limits. Will the village leaders capture them for experiments and try to plunder their bloodline limits?

Don't think it's impossible!
Even the first Hokage and the high-ranking officials of your village dared to take action, so what else would you not dare to take action against?

Even the major mystical ninja clans would feel insecure.

All I can say is that the idea that Danzo started was really too bad, so Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry.

"Danzo, he must be handed over!"

Mizuto Menyan looked at Jia who was tied up and had a cloth stuffed in his mouth.

Everything else can be discussed later, but the Root of this ninja who has mastered Wood Release must be handed over to the Hokage first.

For example, Wood Release is the equivalent of the 'Imperial Seal' in Konoha, representing the orthodoxy of the Hokage. Naturally, it can only be mastered by the Hokage. If anyone else masters it, it will shake the prestige of the Hokage.

"That's right, Danzo, the person must be handed over to Hiruzen!"

Utane Koharu naturally thought of this as well, so she echoed the sentiment.

"Impossible, Jia is from the Root, there is no way he will hand it over to you!"

Danzo was angry.

He had spent a huge amount of money to train Jia, and now he wanted to snatch the other person away from him with just one sentence. How could he agree to it?

"Danzo, this is the village's notification to the Root, and from now on he will be called 'Yamato', Yamato of Konoha!"

The anger on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face disappeared and he looked extremely calm.

But facing him in this state, Danzo could only grit his teeth and nod:

"Yes!"

If he continued to resist, the other party would definitely attack him without hesitation. In all these years of being together, he had only seen the other party behave like this once or twice, but each time was shocking.

The ownership of A was thus decided.

"Everyone, I will let the Anbu investigate this matter, and I will give you an explanation later!"

After Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed Danzo, he began to appease the major ninja clans.

Ten minutes later!
The Hokage's office finally became quiet.

Although the matter has calmed down temporarily, it does not mean it is over. I still have to find a way to give an explanation to others afterwards.

However, those things can be left for later. The most important thing now is to confirm the situation of Yamato, who is in control of the Wood Release experiment.
If the other party really inherits Wood Release, will Konoha be able to dominate the five major ninja villages again?
