Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

For the sake of long-term benefits, he must bow his head when necessary.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

He was no longer just Minato Namikaze; he was initially taken aback, but then quickly understood the cause and effect.

A sigh escaped his lips.

It seems that Jin-kun's prediction was quite accurate. In Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, he really is the Fourth Hokage (Zhao Nuo's).

otherwise.

As a Hokage, is it really necessary for Hiruzen Sarutobi to explain such a trivial matter to a Jonin like him?

But, damn it.

Even though he now clearly knows that he is the future Fourth Hokage.

Becoming Hokage was his childhood dream.

But now that it has actually come true, he doesn't feel happy at all.

Because the position of Hokage was completely different from what he had imagined.

After taking a deep breath, he looked solemnly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Finally, he spoke slowly.

"… Hokage-sama, I believe in you."

"But Elder Danzo's behavior was indeed a bit too much."

"In our own village, they actually attacked a ninja who hadn't done anything wrong."

"This is outrageous!"

"Elder Danzo must be punished so that he understands that even as an elder, he must abide by the village rules."

"Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, donkey!"

"...".

Chapter 219 The Hokage's word decides everything, and Minato feels a pang of unease!

Minato Namikaze spoke softly.

Now that he knew Hiruzen Sarutobi's bottom line, he naturally knew how to start the conversation.

Want to become Hokage?

Don't want to create resentment within yourself?

This is great news!

"Strike while the iron is hot," he'll do it too, right?

At first, he just wanted to gloss over what happened tonight. After all, no matter what, Kushina's madness had indeed damaged many villagers' houses and killed quite a few Root ninjas.

This is no small crime.

If things really get serious, he really can't stop it.

But what about now?

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even discuss it, as if losing a few houses and dying a few Root ninjas wasn't a big deal at all.

This made Minato Namikaze realize instantly that the darkness within the upper echelons was deeper than he had imagined.

Are the lives of these Root ninjas merely numbers to these superiors?

He gave a bitter smile.

However, he also knew very well that he was not able to change things for the time being.

and so.

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't care, he naturally didn't bother to say anything more. It seemed that Kushina's actions just now were simply forgotten.

That being the case.

Take this opportunity to smear Danzo further and put Hiruzen Sarutobi in a difficult position, giving him a little headache.

As for dealing with Danzo?

Having seen through everything long ago, he had no such idea whatsoever.

Minato Namikaze was well aware of Danzo's importance to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even if Danzo dies at the age of 790, it will only result in a mild reprimand, at most making Danzo lose face a little more.

There's no need to even think about any real solutions!

Otherwise, if Danzo is really killed, who will do his dirty work in the future?

In fact, the same is true.

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately felt a headache coming on.

Yes!

What should be done with Danzo?

This is really a troublesome matter.

If Danzo is not dealt with, then there will be no way to explain to Minato Namikaze.

You know, tonight.

The other person's apprentice was almost arrested, and his wife even revealed that he had six tails.

If Danzo is not dealt with, how can resentment not arise?

But, should we really deal with it?

If we just kill Danzo, who will clean up our mess?

Hiruzen Sarutobi has a terrible headache.

He hated Danzo even more in his heart. He had already made it very clear to him last night, and he had even almost stabbed him to death with his golden cudgel.

how.

This bastard just never learns his lesson!

He pondered for a long time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath before speaking coldly.

“Remove the elders’ authority and strip the root leader of his position.”

"Considering that Danzo has also made contributions to Konoha, let's retain his Jonin rank."

"Minato, what do you think?"

Yes.

After careful consideration, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to teach Danzo a lesson.

Otherwise, continue.

Isn't Danzo truly lawless?

What a coincidence!

I've been really annoyed with him lately, so it's a good idea to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Let that bastard Danzo think this through.

I'm the Hokage, for crying out loud!

Do you really think that just because you're backed by Root, I, the Hokage, can't deal with you?

By the way.

This would also appease Minato Namikaze, a win-win situation that Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally found very appealing.

Of course, the most important thing is.

As the Hokage, it wouldn't actually be difficult for me to use Danzo again in the future.

It's something that can be easily done with any excuse.

Having figured this out, Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips naturally curled into a satisfied smile.

However, on the other side...

After hearing this, Minato Namikaze was completely dumbfounded.

Good guy!

I was just saying it casually!

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi gives him face, he's still going to remove an elder from his position!

At such an important time, shouldn't we have to go through a vote by the Jonin class?
