My older sister is Kushina

Soon after, Uzumaki Hanamichi followed Namikaze Minato out of the Root organization's secret prison and headed towards the village.

When the two returned to the village, it was already dawn.

Minato Namikaze didn't go home; instead, he went straight to the Hokage Building and arrived at the Hokage's office.

Inside the Hokage's office, Uzumaki Hanamichi immediately reported the details to Namikaze Minato. Although he had reported before, he had only given a general overview. In addition, because the Third Hokage and Konoha's high-ranking officials were present, there were some things he did not report, such as Shimura Jiji who was sealed in the spatial scroll.

After hearing the detailed report from Uzumaki Hanamichi, Namikaze Minato said, "So, Shimura Danzo was fully aware of Orochimaru's secret and forbidden experiments."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "According to Shimura Jiji's information, that is indeed the case."

Minato Namikaze wasn't too surprised. Although Danzo Shimura shirked all responsibility in the secret prison and Orochimaru took the blame, seemingly without any problems, he could still guess some of the reasons.

Soon, Minato Namikaze stroked his chin and asked, "How is Shimura Jiji doing now?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi said, "He's been affected by my illusion, and his mental state is temporarily somewhat weak and disordered. I wonder if it would be effective if he were to identify Shimura Danzo on his own initiative."

Minato Namikaze was silent for a few seconds, then said thoughtfully, "This might be a bit difficult. First, Shimura Jiji only confessed under your genjutsu mental torture, so the information is hard to use as direct evidence. Second, Shimura Danzo might deny it and think that we tampered with Shimura Jiji's team, so the effect might not be satisfactory."

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded. In fact, he had also considered this issue. With Shimura Danzo's power and methods, it would probably be of little use to rely on Shimura Jiji's words to testify, unless Shimura Danzo had already reached the point of being despised by everyone.

Immediately after, Uzumaki Hanamichi asked, "What should we do with Shimura Jiji?"

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment, then replied, "Let's keep him secretly locked up for now. He might come in handy later. It's not the right time to take him out now."

Whirlpool Flower Path nodded.

Minato Namikaze continued, "While the information about this secret experimental base may not be enough to directly bring down Danzo Shimura and the Root organization, we can use this to our advantage to suppress them."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Yes, although Shimura Danzo has shifted all the blame to Orochimaru, the Konoha higher-ups should also know that this is indeed a good opportunity to suppress Shimura Danzo and the Root organization. However, how should Orochimaru handle this?"

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment and said, "Orochimaru is a problem. He is not only connected to the Root organization, but he is also the Third Hokage's favorite disciple. In addition, his relationship with my teacher Jiraiya is extraordinary. The specific handling should be decided by the Konoha higher-ups. However, since Orochimaru has conducted many forbidden experiments, the punishment given by the Konoha higher-ups will probably not be light."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "His behavior should be condemned."

Minato Namikaze agreed, "Indeed, but the incident will probably not be made public at the moment and will most likely be handled as a secret matter."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "He should pay the price for what he did."

Minato Namikaze: "Of course, Ado. If it were you, how would you deal with Orochimaru?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi didn't hesitate and said directly, "Execute him in public!"

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze showed a hint of surprise and astonishment on his face.

Uzumaki Hanamichi was not lying. In his eyes, Orochimaru's taboo experiments that disregarded the lives of others had harmed many children. In his value system, even if such a person was talented or valuable, he should pay the price for it.

Thinking about the possible punishment from the Konoha leadership, he felt some regret. He could have killed Orochimaru directly in the Sky Domain.

Minato Namikaze: "It's unlikely that the Konoha leadership will publicly execute Orochimaru."

Whirlpool Flower Path: "I understand."

Minato Namikaze: "By the way, Ado, there's something I need to ask you and the First Anbu Squad for. Orochimaru will be secretly imprisoned, and I plan to entrust the guarding of the imprisonment to you and the First Anbu Squad. I don't trust anyone else to do it."

In Minato Namikaze's eyes, Uzumaki Hanamichi was already a very important person by his side, someone he trusted implicitly, and also the most suitable person to guard Orochimaru.

Whirlpool Flower Ditch nodded sweetly, "No problem."

Minato Namikaze reminded him, "Ado, you must be careful and take the task of guarding Orochimaru very seriously."

Uzumaki Hanamichi looked at Namikaze Minato: "Are you worried that Shimura Danzo will take some action?"

Minato Namikaze: "We can't rule out that possibility. Orochimaru has been a member of the Anbu for many years, and he has probably been colluding with Danzo Shimura for quite some time. He should know a lot of secrets about Danzo Shimura and the Root organization. We can't rule out that Danzo Shimura might take some extreme actions."

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded: "I understand."

The conversation between the two did not last very long, only about half an hour in total.

Finally, Minato Namikaze said, "Ado, you've worked hard for a long time, go back and rest early."

Whirlpool Flower said, "I am indeed a little tired."

Afterwards, Uzumaki Hanamichi left the Hokage's office, but he didn't rush home. Instead, he went to the Anbu building to arrange the task of guarding Orochimaru.

After assigning the tasks, Uzumaki Hanamichi left the Anbu building and headed home.

Whirlpool Flower Path returned home.

The family's young maid is making breakfast.

Whirlpool Flower Path first ate the breakfast prepared by Little Jade, and then went to rest.

I slept straight through until noon.

Hanamichi stretched and walked out of the room. Tamako wasn't home; she must have gone to the Midnight Diner.

After washing up, he left home and went to the Midnight Diner first. Sure enough, the little girl was there, working hard to improve his skills.

Whirlpool Flower Path left the Midnight Diner after less than half an hour.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the Dark Division.

Uzumaki Hanamichi held a team meeting, mainly to discuss the arrangements for related tasks, one of the key tasks being to guard Orochimaru.

Last night, apart from three members who had other missions, the other members of the first squad of the Anbu participated in the secret prison operation, so they naturally knew about Orochimaru.

Uzumaki Hanamichi selected five people from the first squad of the Anbu: Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Kakashi, Aburame Shihei, Yakumo Ho, and Akino Hiratani. In addition to himself, there were a total of six people to guard Orochimaru.

After the squad meeting, Uzumaki Hanamichi, along with Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Kakashi, Aburame Shihei, Yakumo Ho, and Akino Hiratani, left the area of ​​the first Anbu squad and headed to the cell where Orochimaru was being held.
