However, this time, Danzo's actions were clearly somewhat incomprehensible to them.

Rubbing her temples, Xiaochun turned to the next room and continued:

"I'm afraid he has officially fallen out with Kagura."

Left with no other choice, we had to resort to this desperate measure...

If he were just an ordinary Jonin, they would certainly not see him as as useful to Konoha as Danzo.

Even if they know there's something fishy going on, they might just half-heartedly agree to it.

But Kagura is a little different.

Putting aside the fact that he is currently the only person in the Uchiha clan with the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The tasks he has accomplished over the years have demonstrated his capabilities.

The Uchiha clan behind him alone has become the most troublesome hidden danger.

Although Kagura seems to have always kept his distance from the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha people do not see him that way.

Even Fugaku Uchiha, who has been confirmed as the next clan leader, is a big fan of Kagura.

To conclude that Kagura is a rogue ninja of Konoha based solely on a report with only Danzo's testimony would likely cause considerable controversy within the Uchiha clan.

In fact, after receiving the report, they didn't dare to spread it in the village at all.

In times of war, causing discord among the clans within Konoha would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Moreover...

Suddenly, their door was violently kicked open from the outside.

Tsunade stormed in, looking very aggressive.

At this moment, she was completely devoid of her usual respect and amiability, and looked at the two of them with anger, saying:

"I need an explanation!"

Seeing this expected situation, the two could only exchange a glance and sigh.

Mitokado Homura adjusted his glasses and said:

"Tsunade, let me hear you out first..."

But before he could finish speaking, Tsunade interrupted him, saying:

"There's nothing to say. That old bastard Danzo said Kagura became a rogue ninja."

He also kidnapped Rope Tree and defected?

"That's utter bullshit! Even a dog wouldn't believe this report!"

Hearing these words, which were clearly directed at them, the two could only manage a helpless bitter smile and respond.

Fortunately, Tsunade didn't make things too difficult for the two of them. After venting her anger, she said one last thing:

"Anyway, if you dare to declare Kagura a rogue ninja, I'll immediately drop everything and go to the front lines to find him!"

After saying that, she ignored the two of them and slammed the door shut as she left.

The two who remained looked helplessly at the dilapidated door frame, speechless for a moment.

Although they didn't know where Tsunade received the information from, they had expected this.

Given Tsunade's special status in Konoha, even the two of them had to consider her opinions.

In the end, Mitokado Homura concluded:

"Forget it, this is no longer something we can decide."

Ultimately, we'll see what Sarutobi does.

Meanwhile, within the Land of Rain.

Inside a tent at Konoha's rear headquarters, a similar report was laid out before Sarutobi.

Sitting next to him were Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Clearly, both of them already knew the contents of the report.

Jiraiya spoke first:

"Old man, I don't care what Danzo says, I just don't believe him."

"If you dare declare Kagura a rogue ninja, then don't blame me for abandoning this mission and going over there to find Kagura."

As expected of people from the same class, Jiraiya's words were basically the same as Tsunade's at this moment.

As for Orochimaru, he didn't say anything, he just sat there quietly.

But the dangerous look in his eyes sent a chill down Hiruzen Sarutobi's spine.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking at the report in front of him, his mind went blank.

He was naturally aware of Danzo's thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't have kept warning Danzo not to do anything unnecessary all these years.

In order to protect Kagura, he has even stood against his old friend on many issues over the years.

However, he never expected that Danzo would still make a move during this war.

Yes, the moment he saw the report, he knew Danzo was behind it.

"madness!"

At that moment, he had no other thoughts besides this assessment.

Putting aside Kagura's personal combat strength, besides the Uchiha clan behind him, he also has three of his closest companions among the younger generation!

Leaving aside Sakumo Hatake, these three are almost certainly the future of Konoha.

If Kagura were to be convicted of being a rogue ninja, he could hardly imagine what those three would do.

Moreover, this incident also involved Rope Tree.

It should be noted that although the Senju family is now weak, its influence still exists.

There are still people in many high-ranking departments of Konoha who support the descendants of the Senju.

Such entanglements may trigger a storm larger than imagined.

Looking at the report before him, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, not uttering a single word.

Just as Jiraiya was about to leave and confront Danzo, he finally made a move.

He slowly tore up the report in front of him and said to Jiraiya and Orochimaru:

"I will go there myself to resolve this matter."

You two, don't cause me any trouble. Stay here and do your jobs well during this time.

Did you hear that?!

Hearing Sarutobi-sensei's reprimand, Jiraiya wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he gave up and sat down again.

As for Orochimaru, he remained silent, his eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only sigh inwardly and said nothing more.

The situation was urgent, so he didn't waste any time. After briefly explaining the defense tasks here, he left the Land of Rain.

Two days later, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been traveling at full speed, finally arrived at the front line. However, before he could see Danzo, he ran into someone he hadn't expected.

Chapter 38 Should we take a gamble?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just arrived at the front lines, had not yet reached the Konoha camp when a group of unexpected people suddenly appeared in front of him.

Appearing before him were Kagura, Nara Sora, and others.

Upon seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi, Nara Sora and the other two genin respectfully knelt on one knee and saluted him, saying:

"Hokage-sama."

Because of their greater familiarity, Nawaki approached with a grin and called out:

"The Great Tree of Hokage!"

Although somewhat helpless, Hiruzen Sarutobi still patted his hair with concern and said:

"Well, you're fine."

After saying that, he looked up at Kagura in front of him.

Kagura didn't say anything, she just stood there and stared at him in the same way.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly and asked Kagura with a puzzled look:

How did you find me so quickly?

Kagura didn't answer him, but took a step closer and reached her hand towards his headband.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flickered slightly at Kagura's actions, but he did not stop her. Instead, he watched with relief as Kagura reached for her headband.

Kagura rubbed her headband for a while, and finally pulled out a folded yellow paper strip from the strap.

Kagura unfolded the note and placed it in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand before replying:

"Yes, just based on this."

After carefully examining the note in his hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to realize something upon seeing the strange patterns on it.

He asked with a hint of disbelief:

"This is...

Flying Thunder God Technique?

Kagura nodded.

"But when did you..."

Yeah, I see.

Is it Jiraiya or Orochimaru?

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped abruptly halfway through asking his question, and then answered it himself.
