Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 20 Overturning the verdict
"The Security Department discovered this matter during the investigation of Shimura Danzo's accomplices. The rumors about White Fang Senior in the village were spread under the instructions of Shimura Danzo. In addition, people including the current head of the Shimura clan, Shimura Hiroshi, were involved in this matter. Moreover, they were the ones who silenced White Fang Senior's teammates." Uchiha Dohuan said slowly, while paying attention to the reactions of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two advisors.

When the two consultants heard Uchiha Dohuan mention this, there was inexplicable panic in their eyes. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance was not as bad as these two, it was also a little unnatural.

Seeing this, Uchiha Douhuan understood that these people were probably not clean when it came to the matter of White Fang.

"Let's leave this matter at that. The matter of White Fang has long been a consensus in the village." Utane Koharu said immediately.

"Really? Are we just going to allow villains to slander the heroes who shed blood for the village, letting the heroes of the village suffer injustice forever? Can't they even rest in peace after death?" Uchiha Douhuan looked directly at the other party and said in a low voice.

"The failure of that mission was indeed White Fang's responsibility." Mizutomon En said.

"But he was trying to protect his companions, wasn't he?" Uchiha Douhuan said slowly.

"A ninja's duty is to complete the mission!" said Utane Koharu.

"Does Sandaime-sama think so too?" Uchiha Dohuan looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, "This is not the Will of Fire at all."

As Uchiha Dohuan finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen's office suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Nara Shikaku even wished that he could turn into the shadow of his family's secret technique and disappear quickly.

Uchiha Douhuan looked at this scene and laughed in his heart.

To put it bluntly, the profession of ninja is a killing machine that pays for disaster relief. No matter how beautiful the words "will of fire" are, can they cover up the filthiness of the profession of ninja itself?
But at this moment, the Will of Fire is really useful.

Could Sarutobi Hiruzen deny this statement? Of course not.

The Will of Fire, as Sarutobi Hiruzen's political base and the political correctness of Konoha Village, has been deeply bound to him through his day-to-day propaganda. It can be said that in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, even if you question that Asuma is not his biological son, you cannot question the correctness of the Will of Fire.

"Dou Huan, I understand what you mean." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said, "We will restore White Fang's reputation, but let's stop the investigation into this matter. After all, it happened too long ago, and it would be a waste of time to investigate thoroughly."

"Since this is the decision of Lord Hokage, the Security Department has no choice but to obey." Uchiha Douhuan said with a dark expression.

At this moment, Uchiha Douhuan was almost overjoyed. The moment he confirmed that these three old guys were not clean in the White Fang incident, Uchiha Douhuan's goal today was just to help White Fang restore its reputation. If he really kept investigating, it would be difficult to deal with if he really found something. The current Uchiha was not ready to completely break up with the three of them, so Uchiha Douhuan was already thinking about how to delay it, but he didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen would stop the matter himself and take the blame.

"Also, according to the clues the Security Department has currently obtained, Shimura Danzo has a deep connection with the traitorous ninja Orochimaru," Uchiha Douhuan controlled his expression. "But the matter of the traitorous ninja Orochimaru does involve forces outside the village. Therefore, I ask for the Hokage's approval that the Security Department and the Anbu work together to apprehend the traitorous ninja Orochimaru, who endangered Konoha's safety. This will also provide an explanation for the souls who died tragically in their inhumane human experiments."

"Orochimaru?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes darkened when he heard the name.

[What happened back then should definitely come to a conclusion.] Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly, and after making up his mind, he looked at Uchiha Dohuan: "I understand, Dohuan. Then, Kakashi will lead this mission, and you, the Security Department, will assist. How about that?"

"Understood." Uchiha Douhuan nodded and accepted the order.

"This time, you must bring Orochimaru to justice. Please."

"Loyalty! Sincerity!" Uchiha Douhuan looked solemn and raised his right hand to salute.

When Uchiha Douhuan left, he did not take with him Yamanaka Kaze, who had been drooling in the Hokage's office. After Uchiha Douhuan left, the two advisors looked at Nara Shikaku, who had been acting as a transparent person. Nara Shikaku understood and said:

"Hokage-sama, I heard from Haiyi that Feng was forcibly taken away by Danzo when he was young. Although he committed unforgivable crimes with Danzo and his current situation is his own fault, please spare his life for the sake of the Yamanaka clan's past achievements."

"Shikaku, don't say that. This is all Danzo's fault." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "Take this child back to the Yamanaka clan and take good care of him."

"I understand." Nara Shikaku nodded, then left the Hokage's office with Yamanaka Feng.

After Nara Shikaku left, Mitomon En immediately spoke up impatiently: "Huruzen, are we just going to let this matter go? Are you going to watch the Uchiha clan continue to mess around?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe, took a deep breath, then looked up at his two old partners and said, "Dou Huan, he wouldn't do that. He's a good boy with the will of fire in his heart."

"Huruzen!" Utane Koharu said anxiously, "He is from the Uchiha clan. Don't forget the teachings of the Nidaime!"

"Huruzen, Danzo is right, you are really too indecisive." Mitomon En also said, "If you continue to let Uchiha go, you will regret it one day!"

"Shut up!" Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table angrily, "I am the Hokage!"

"Do you think I want this? Because of the Sharingan on Danzo's arm, we must give the Uchiha clan an explanation! Otherwise, we are forcing them to rebel, understand? The Uchiha clan already has a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, but the village no longer has a second Shodaime!" Sarutobi Hiruzen angrily scolded the two for their stupidity, "It was Dohuan who suppressed the voices of rebellion in the clan. This is already the best result!"

"Huruzen..." The two advisors were speechless after hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's angry roar.

After a long time, when the tobacco in Sarutobi Hiruzen's pipe had burned out, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to speak: "I will send a message and ask Jiraiya to come back."
