Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 147 Capturing the Rogue Ninja Danzo

After reviewing the information, Maruhoshi Kosuke was furious.

Given his personality, he would not tolerate even the slightest imperfection.

With the strong support of the Hyuga clan, relevant evidence was quickly gathered.

This refers to the experiment conducted by Danzo Shimura on the Bull-Headed Heavenly King.

"Grandpa Kosuke, thank you for your hard work."

Natsume received the information and said, "I will report it to the Hokage. I may have to trouble you to arrest them then."

"It's no trouble at all."

Maruhoshi Kosuke said righteously, "This matter involves Shimura Danzo. If it is inconvenient for the Hokage to act, you can leave it to me. I am not afraid of offending anyone."

He has lived for so long, so his wisdom must be considerable.

At this time, Danzo Shimura was just an ordinary Jonin, but after serving as the Hokage's assistant and the leader of Root for so many years, he was deeply rooted in Konoha.

Even Tsunade, the Hokage, would have to think twice before dealing with him.

But he is different.

He is old and doesn't have many years left to live. It is truly a great gain for him to use his remaining body to eliminate the scourge for Konoha.

He had suspected that this was a deliberate act by Tsunade, a so-called power struggle.

But even if it's true, it's still a good thing.

Because Danzo Shimura's experiments were far too inhumane.

Kosuke Maruboshi doesn't mind being used.

"Thanks."

Natsume showed a look of admiration.

This is the true Will of Fire.

Rather than Hiruzen Sarutobi's embellished Will of Fire, it is no longer pure.

After Natsume left the Konoha Police Department, he did not immediately hand over the information to Tsunade.

He was waiting to see what Koharu and Mitokado would do.

Not long after, in the afternoon, Natsume witnessed one of them enter the Hokage's office through the slug's vision sharing.

"Tsunade."

A flicker of disgust crossed Koharu's mind, but a kind smile appeared on her face as she said, "Hiruzen has something to tell you. If you have time, come with me."

"Why are you the one sending the message?"

Tsunade asked calmly.

"Hiruzen, we're not only calling you over, but also our two advisors and Danzo."

Koharu Utatane explained calmly, "The Sarutobi ninja who delivered the message went to find Danzo. Your office is close to mine, so I'm relaying the message on your behalf."

This explanation doesn't sound too far off.

Tsunade pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where to? The old man's house?"

"It's in the Valley of the End."

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her room, secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had passed the first hurdle.

"How can it be so far?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised and asked.

"I don't know either."

Koharu wasn't surprised by this question; if it's difficult to answer, then she won't answer it.

"Perhaps Hiruzen has been trying to clear his head lately, and in this special place called Valley of the End, he was reminded of things from the past, which is why he asked us to come over."

They shifted the blame to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Anyway, he has indeed been in a bad mood lately.

Tsunade frowned. Although she instinctively felt that something was wrong, he was still her teacher, and their friendship remained.

Most importantly, she never imagined that Shimura Danzo and his group would be so audacious.

She casually picked up the Hokage's robe and put it on, preparing to leave, when a knock sounded on the door.

"Please come in."

Tsunade sat down again.

Xiaochun didn't urge him when she changed dorm rooms, so as not to notice anything unusual.

"Teacher, there's something I need your attention."

Natsume walked in with the documents, ignoring Koharu in the next room.

Her face immediately turned somewhat unpleasant. They really were master and disciple, with the same temper.

"If you're not in a hurry, just leave it for now."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I'll come back and deal with it after I see the old man."

"It will only take a few minutes."

Natsume blinked and said.

Tsunade was slightly taken aback.

He already knew Natsume very well.

Even the smallest gesture is enough to make him understand what he's trying to say.

"Consultant Xiaochun, you can go ahead now, I'll come back later."

Tsunade turned her head, smiled, and asked, "I don't think the old man would mind waiting a few minutes for me, would he?"

Koharu's face stiffened. Although she didn't know what had happened, the words had already been said to this extent, and it would seem deliberate to emphasize it further.

If their plans are exposed, it will be a losing proposition.

"Of course there's no problem."

Koharu turned and left the Hokage's office.

"How is it?"

Mitokado Homura, who was waiting outside, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Did she agree? Why hasn't she come out?"

"She had something to take care of, but she has already agreed."

Koharu Utatane looked at the tightly closed door and said in a deep voice, "Go and tell Danzo to prepare. I'll wait for her here."

"Okay, let me know immediately if anything changes."

Mitokado Yan nodded and quickly walked outside.

"Sister, you really do understand me."

Natsume smiled and stepped forward, placing the documents on the table. He opened his arms, ready to hug her.

"Let's get down to business first."

Tsunade took off her high-heeled sandals, raised her bare feet, and stepped on his abdomen to stop him from getting closer.

She immediately picked up the documents, and soon an angry expression appeared on her face.

"Danzo!"

She knew beforehand that Konoha Village had conducted experiments on interstitial cells.

But it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who presided over the experiment, in order to reproduce Wood Release, and all the participants were volunteers.

It was later suspended due to its high mortality rate.

Three or four years ago, for some reason, interstitial cell transplantation technology emerged.

Because it involves Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, and Danzo Shimura, Tsunade couldn't interfere.

She thought the matter was over, having already created quite a few Wood Release ninjas.

Although it is far from being comparable to Hashirama Senju, it is still a groundbreaking achievement.

But what was unexpected was that Danzo Shimura was still conducting experiments with Hashirama cells and had developed this weapon that used human lives as a price.

This is truly an act of betraying one's master and ancestors, and a betrayal of Konoha.

"Hmph, I will not let him off this time."

Tsunade stood up, her voice brimming with murderous intent, and said, "The old man just happened to be summoning us. I want to ask him face-to-face, 'Have you done right by Konoha?'"

"Sister, do you really think this is just a coincidence?"

Natsume gripped her fist and said, "When the Konoha Police Department was investigating this matter, they probably already noticed something. I just asked the Anbu, and they haven't seen any Sarutobi clan ninja come to report it."

"You mean this is a trap?"

Tsunade frowned and asked, "Are those three really that bold?"

"Why not?"

Natsume stroked her small hand, trying to relax her, and said, "Killing you will solve their problem once and for all."

"How will they get past the old man?"

As Tsunade spoke, she grasped his hand in return, feeling the warmth emanating from him, which calmed her down considerably.

"Suppose they kill you, what will the Third Hokage do? He won't do anything. Because if he kills all three of them, Konoha will undoubtedly be in dire straits."

Natsume is not actually Hiruzen the Black Ape, but it is indeed possible that he is.

If Tsunade dies, and then Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane also die, leaving only the aged Hiruzen Sarutobi, wouldn't that be an open message to the other four ninja villages?

I'm so weak, come and hit me!

Hiruzen Sarutobi had long lost his ambition; he dared not gamble.

Tsunade remained silent.

She knew her own teacher very well, of course.

In the original work, Orochimaru believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was already decayed, like a stagnant wind, so he devised the Konoha Crush Plan.

Jiraiya and Tsunade both ran outside.

Aside from his own personal factors, he may have had the idea of ​​not wanting to participate in the struggles of Konoha.

They were all unwilling to see the once-mighty Ren Xiong reduced to this state.

"Then let's go to them."

Tsunade is now the Hokage, so she is no ordinary person. After a brief silence, she revealed her determination.

"I'll go see them alone. You'll follow behind with the Hokage's guard and the Konoha Police Department. Only show up if you're certain they want to kill me."

Although there is a lot of evidence, all three of them are high-ranking officials in Konoha, so they cannot be arrested based on this alone.

What Tsunade said was undoubtedly the best solution.

Natsume nodded and agreed.

How so?

Through this scheme, Tsunade became the biggest beneficiary.

He handled such a brilliant matter so soon after becoming Hokage.

This greatly enhanced her reputation.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer force her to relinquish her position as Hokage.

Natsume thought to himself, "This feeling of nurturing is really nice."

In fact, Tsunade is already at the maximum level, but Hinata and Ino still have a long way to go.

There must be a lot of fun in it.

With Natsume's strength, taking down the two Hokage advisors would have been a piece of cake, but then Tsunade wouldn't have been in the picture.

It's not fun if you raise a useless person.

After Tsunade left, Natsume immediately had someone notify the Konoha Police Department, and at the same time, he went to the Hokage Guard Office.

Before even opening the door, you could hear Matt Kay's passionate slogans.

Although he lacks talent in ninjutsu, he is absolutely unparalleled in the ninja world when it comes to taijutsu.

The Eight Gates Formation is a forbidden art, from beginner to final burial.

Those who can learn it need both talent and temperament.

To date, only Might Guy and his son Might Guy have learned this skill in Konoha.

Might Guy fought the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone, achieving a terrifyingly brilliant record.

Hiruzen Sarutobi once promoted the Eight Gates technique on a small scale, but no one was able to learn it.

At most, it's only the first two doors.

While it improves our capabilities, it falls far short of achieving a qualitative change.

Moreover, it's disproportionate to the effort put in; it's a huge waste of time.

Natsume knocked on the door and went in.

The eyes of all five people in the office immediately turned towards them.

Yamanaka Ino appeared surprised and happy.

The other four people seemed to be doing quite well.

"Natsume, is something the matter?"

"Silent asked casually."

"It's the Hokage's order."

As soon as Natsume finished speaking, Might Guy immediately stepped forward, looking excited.

"What is it?"

"Capture the rogue ninja Shimura Danzo."

Natsume said with a smile.

The five people immediately showed expressions of shock.

Kakashi Hatake put away "Icha Icha Paradise" and asked, "Are you sure you're talking about Danzo Shimura?"

Although Danzo Shimura's reputation is not good, his loyalty to Konoha is beyond doubt.

No one would think he would betray Konoha.

Even Matt Kay is one of them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have applied to join the root organization in the first place.

"Of course it's true."

Natsume took out Tsunade's warrant and said, "Except for Ino, the four of you come with me."

"yes!"

Kakashi Hatake and the others answered in unison.

Yamanaka Ino hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

She was indeed unable to participate in this matter and could only show a worried look.

"There won't be any problems."

Natsume looked at her and smiled.

Yamanaka Ino was captivated by his handsomeness for a few seconds, and only realized what had happened after he left.

"I wonder if Natsume-kun has noticed my new hairstyle."

She subconsciously twirled a strand of golden hair near her ear with her fingers.

The long bangs that originally covered her eyes have been combed to one side.

Although she still has a single ponytail, her bangs are more similar to those of Konan, making her look even prettier.

Three thousand characters.
