Inside the Hokage's office, Kakashi truthfully reported what he had seen and heard in the Security Department. However, after thinking about it, Kakashi decided to keep the part about White Fang a secret.
After listening to Kakashi's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Yamato beside him and sighed deeply.
"Child, what is your name?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.
A remained silent, but Hiruzen Sarutobi, unperturbed, came before him and personally untied him from his restraints.
"Don't you have a name? Then from now on, you'll be called Tenzo," Hiruzen Sarutobi said. "The past is the past. Danzo is dead. From now on, live a good life as a Konoha ninja."
A was taken aback upon hearing this, looking at the target Danzo had tasked him with assassinating years ago.
"Now that you possess the Wood Release of the First Hokage, then inherit his will to protect the village."
A, or rather, Tenzo, trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. He just glanced at the Third Hokage and then turned to look at Kakashi.
"Kakashi, you'll have to take good care of this kid from now on," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
"Understood." Kakashi nodded and left the Hokage's office with Tenzo.
After Kakashi left, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to his seat and lit a cigarette.
Uchiha Touhuan's unexpected move of sending the Wood Release ninja back left him somewhat bewildered. After all, it was Wood Release. If the Uchiha clan really wanted to rebel, why would they give up such power so easily?
Could it be that Uchiha Touhuan was truly an Uchiha who was loyal to the village?
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but ask himself this question.
That night, Hiruzen Sarutobi was destined to spend in confusion.
The next morning, Uchiha Touhuan, along with Yamanaka Fu, who had become mentally unstable, went to the Hokage's office.
When Uchiha Touhuan arrived, the Hokage's office was already full of people. In addition to the two advisors, Nara Shikaku, the Hokage's assistant who had been officially appointed a few days earlier due to Danzo's death, was also by Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.
Seeing this, Uchiha Touhuan smiled slightly. Under the intimidation of Kotoamatsukami, Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not meet him one-on-one. However, such a grand display was exactly what Uchiha Touhuan wanted.
"Lord Hokage, the deputy captain of the security force, Uchiha Touhuan, has come to report." Uchiha Touhuan bowed.
"Douhuan, you've arrived." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and smiled kindly.
"Uchiha Touhuan, you used the guise of investigating a case to eliminate dissidents and slander innocent people in the village. How do you explain this?!" Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even speak, Homura Mitokado couldn't wait to challenge him.
Uchiha Touhuan glanced at the other party with disdain. These two old codgers, who held high positions, only had seniority as their main asset. Uchiha Touhuan had never taken them seriously.
"Does the Hokage think so too?" Uchiha Touhuan asked, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Touhuan, the Uchiha's methods are a bit too extreme." Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't explicitly admit it, but he still intended to give Uchiha Touhuan a warning.
"Faced with a cancer like Shimura Danzo and his gang, can we afford to use any other lenient methods? We must strike hard!" Uchiha Touhuan said sternly. "These past few days, some of the things we've uncovered so far are truly shocking!"
With that, Uchiha Touhuan took out the criminal record of Shimura Danzo that he had written overnight and placed it on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.
"Danzo Shimura, for the sake of my clan's bloodline, deliberately murdered 14 Uchiha clan members on the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War! And that's not all. After the Hokage explicitly banned human experimentation, Danzo Shimura colluded with the rogue ninja Orochimaru to kidnap orphans from the village for experiments, the youngest of whom was only two years old!"
"Are you two advisors going to protect such an inhuman demon and his accomplices?" Uchiha Touhuan looked at Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu. "How can you do this to the Will of Fire, and to the First Hokage's original intention of establishing the village to protect children from the ravages of war?"
"You..." Koharu Utatane was furious, but the accusation that Touken Uchiha had made was too big, so big that even he couldn't bear it.
"Touhuan, calm down. They don't know what Danzo did." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and spoke up to exonerate his two old friends. Then, he picked up Danzo's criminal record from the table.
Looking at the record of Danzo's deeds, even though Hiruzen Sarutobi knew a little about it, he was still dumbfounded. Danzo's audacity far exceeded his imagination.
"These crimes were all confessed to by Yamanaka Fu, a key member of Shimura Danzo's criminal gang." Uchiha Touhuan pulled out the dazed Yamanaka Fu beside him and threw him in front of him.
Upon hearing this name, Nara Shikaku, who had remained silent until now, suddenly focused his gaze on Uchiha Touhuan, only to meet Uchiha Touhuan's eyes.
With a faint smile on his lips, Uchiha Touhuan looked at Nara Shikaku and said, "Although there was a slight mishap during the interrogation, as this person attempted to use the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques to counter the Sharingan's genjutsu interrogation, resulting in severe brain damage, he confessed to everything he had done before that."
"Aba... Aba aba!"
Nara Shikaku looked at Yamanaka Fu lying there drooling and sighed. With his intelligence, he naturally understood that this was the Uchiha clan's joint retaliation and warning to the Ino-Shika-Cho clan. After sighing inwardly, he decisively lowered his head. He knew very well that this matter was no longer something he could get involved in. In the power struggle between the higher-ups and the Uchiha, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan would face utter destruction if they were not careful.
"Lord Hokage, to prevent this from happening again, please assign a few ANBU interrogators to assist us. After all, the Security Department does lack professional interrogation methods for dealing with ninjas," Uchiha Touhuan said at this moment.
After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "I will send someone to the security headquarters to assist."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Touhuan said, his eyes gleaming.
Hiruzen Sarutobi may have agreed to the request with the intention of sending people to monitor the Uchiha clan, but Touhuan Uchiha didn't care. After all, whether or not they could be kept was up to Touhuan Uchiha himself.
Hiruzen Sarutobi then saw the last part of the criminal record, the part about the White Fang incident.
"Doo-hwan, this..."
