Chapter 12 A Shameful Betrayal! (Please vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets to follow this story)

After hearing what Hoshino Shuichi said, Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then looked at the brat in front of her.

Yes, but he's just a little kid who's not even six years old.

Her mature thinking and way of speaking almost made her overlook Hoshino Shuichi's age and status.

interesting!

Tsunade smiled, then stood up: "In that case, let's go!"

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade!"

Hoshino Hideichi quickly thanked him, while secretly letting out a long sigh of relief.

When he was looking for a solution, his first thought was to go to Kakashi and ask Sakumo Hatake for help.

But he quickly rejected it.

The White Fang of Konoha was renowned and incredibly strong, even surpassing the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

In Konoha at present, he is already being regarded as the second strongest person after the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, upon closer analysis, in terms of influence, Sakumo Hatake is actually far inferior to Tsunade.

In addition, Hoshino Shuichi also considered Tianyun, the young lady from Tianxiang shop, but quickly rejected the idea.

Without a doubt, Tsunade is the first choice, followed by Sakumo Hatake, and then the young lady Tenyun.

Finally, they went to find Kimura Hiroya, a teacher at the Ninja Academy.

Or they could simply stake out outside the Hokage Building and intercept petitioners.

Now that Tsunade has stepped in, the impact is substantial.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi's intelligence was lowered by Danzo and he didn't value him, he still had to consider the feelings of his disciple Tsunade.

This is the best solution he can achieve with his current abilities and network.

If you don't have the ability, you can only rely on connections.

Shizune cast a reassuring glance at her, and the three of them, including Hoshino, walked out together.

"Kid, let me give you a heads-up."

Tsunade suddenly stopped and said, "Even if you go and complain, it won't affect Danzo. On the contrary, it will make him see you as an enemy."

Hoshita Hideyuki nodded: "Don't worry, Lady Tsunade, I understand."

Danzo was the second most powerful figure in Konoha, a former comrade of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his best assistant.

No one in Konoha is more suitable to replace Danzo in this position and handle matters that Hiruzen Sarutobi, as Hokage, cannot handle in person.

This is a matter of self-interest.

Even considering Danzo's actions, it's still far from enough to bring him down.

Going to complain now will at most disgust Danzo.

Hoshino had considered these things long ago, but he remained unmoved and continued, "He can't do anything to me at the ninja academy, but once we leave the ninja academy and are on missions outside, he has a million ways to deal with me."

"Without evidence, who can say anything?"

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It's good that you understand."

The three of them started walking and headed towards the Hokage Building.

Hoshita Hideaki asked, "Lady Tsunade, could you please ask the Third Hokage to recall Dean Yakushi Nonou?"

"The dean possesses unparalleled medical ninjutsu; sending medical ninjas to gather intelligence is the greatest disrespect to them."

Tsunade glanced at Hoshino Shizuka and said, "You're absolutely right."

Hoshino Shuichi looked around and reminded her, "Lady Tsunade, the Root ninjas might still be watching me. The best option is to see the Third Hokage as soon as possible."

Tsunade paused, then gave a disgruntled snort: "I know!"

The next moment, Hoshino Shuichi felt a strong wind hit his face, and his face contorted.

Tsunade grabbed him by the back of his collar, holding him with one hand while holding Shizune with the other, and leaped towards the Hokage Building.

Women are so petty!

Hoshita Shuichi muttered to himself, but he was also very grateful to Tsunade.

……

Tsunade landed at the Hokage Building.

With one foot firmly planted on the ground, Xingxia Xiu quickly tidied her hair and rubbed her cheeks, which were stiff from the wind.

The reason he took a shower and ate before coming out was twofold: firstly, he was considering a solution, and secondly, he felt he couldn't appear pitiful when meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Since Danzo has his eye on him because of his genius, he must appear before Hiruzen Sarutobi as a genius and make Hiruzen Sarutobi take him seriously.

"Clever little devil!"

Tsunade muttered something to herself, then said to Shizune, "Shizune, you just wait here!"

Shizune nodded obediently: "Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Hoshino Shuichi gave Shizune a gentle smile, nodded, and then walked into the Hokage Building with Tsunade.

Almost simultaneously, Danzo also received the news at the Root base.

He was quite surprised, then his face darkened.

Evil, cunning little devil!

Danzo stood up and walked outside.

He was not afraid of Hoshino Shuichi's complaint, but he could not let a cunning brat talk nonsense.

……

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade walked in with Hoshino no Shuichi without even knocking, which didn't surprise Hiruzen Sarutobi at all; he was already used to it.

When Tsunade arrived downstairs, Hiruzen Sarutobi received a report from the Anbu ninja.

With his keen eye, it wasn't hard to see that the reason Tsunade was here was because of Hoshino Shuichi, since Shizune hadn't come up.

"Old man, this brat wants to see you."

Tsunade made no attempt to explain for Hoshino Shizuka; after speaking, she simply watched the show from the sidelines.

Hoshita Hideichi quickly bowed and greeted him, "Third Hokage-sama!"

"Shuichi!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked gently, "Is there something important that you need so late?"

Hoshita Hide stood up and said, "Lord Danzo just wanted to recruit me into Root."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff from his pipe, then exhaled, the smoke obscuring his face: "I see."

"As the leader of Root, Danzo is indeed qualified to recruit people, but he also needs my approval."

Hoshita Shuichi immediately continued, "Third Hokage, that's how I replied to Danzo as well."

"As long as the Third Hokage gives the order, I, as a student of the Ninja Academy, should naturally carry out the orders of the Hokage and the Ninja Academy Principal."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled softly upon hearing this: "That is indeed the case."

Hoshita Shuichi changed the subject abruptly, saying angrily, "But the Third Hokage, Lord Danzo, actually threatened me."

"He actually dared to openly defy the Will of Fire of Konoha and threaten me with the orphanage and Director Yakushi Nonou."

Tsunade, who was listening nearby, was stunned.

When I spoke to her just now, I didn't mention anything about the Will of Fire.

This brat can talk to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language!

Tsunade couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took two puffs of his cigarette as he listened. He knew Danzo well; such methods were indeed something Danzo could use.

However, just as he was about to speak, Hoshino Shuichi became even more indignant and said in a tongue-twisting tone, "Third Hokage, you taught us at the academy that as ninjas of Konoha and inheritors of the Will of Fire, we must have the determination to protect our comrades and the village."

"But isn't an orphanage part of Konoha?"

"Isn't Dean Yakushi Nonou a member of Konoha?"

"Lord Danzo, as the Hokage's assistant, actually used my comrades to blackmail me. This is a betrayal of the Will of Fire, and a shameful betrayal of you, the Third Hokage!"

"As the Hokage's assistant, Lord Danzo actually attempted to bypass you, the Third Hokage, and take me away, making me betray you."

Tsunade was stunned.

She admitted that she had underestimated the kid.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was both furious at Danzo's actions and delighted and relieved to see Shuichi Hoshita before him.

For a moment, I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and didn't know how to comfort Hoshino Hideaki.

Meanwhile, the hidden members of the secret service couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

This kid is so talkative!

So much so that they all had the misconception that the Hokage's assistance to Danzo meant he was truly going to betray Konoha.

However, Danzo, who happened to be outside the door, was furious upon hearing these words and immediately pushed the door open and entered.

"A cunning little devil, born evil!"
