The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Now that Danzo has seized on this point, Tsunade really has a hard time refuting it.

“Yes, Tsunade, Danzo’s unauthorized actions were indeed wrong, but what Danzo said also makes sense. The Nine-Tails is a bottom line that Konoha absolutely cannot tolerate. Because of the loss of the Nine-Tails, in the past two years, the covetousness and suspicion of Konoha by the various ninja villages in the ninja world have been growing stronger. This is a big problem that cannot be ignored. Other aspects can be discussed, but when it comes to the Nine-Tails, Tsunade, you must think twice before you act.”

In one of the seats, Mitokado Yan also leaned forward slightly, speaking with a very solemn expression.

"Do you think I don't understand the importance of the Nine-Tails? But the problem now is, can we take it back so easily?! It's not that we haven't tried, but the elders have all seen the results. Are we really going to gamble the future of the village, everything the village has, to fight to the death? If we fail, who can bear the serious consequences?"

Tsunade took a deep breath and replied.

"The Hidden Mist Village has already retreated, and the Hidden Sand Village clearly cannot continue its reckless advance. Do I need to explain the connection between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Light Village to you elders? The situation is vastly different now. What we need is..."

"Boom!"

"Isn't there Iwagakure? As long as we make good use of Iwagakure, taking back the Nine-Tails is just around the corner."

Tsunade hadn't finished speaking yet.

Danzo, sitting opposite him, slammed his cane down hard and said in a cold tone.

One is overly confident.

One is also too indecisive.

Danzo's confidence, or rather arrogance, has always been a standard feature, best demonstrated by his repeated adventurous actions. It's unclear whether he truly had enough confidence in the strength of Konoha or simply overestimated his own abilities.

Did he really think that his Wood Release and Sharingan were comparable to those of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?

While Tsunade appears to be a strong woman, her true nature is still the same as Hiruzen Sarutobi. Whether dealing with internal or external matters, if Tsunade could truly make up her mind, regardless of whether things would turn out the way she wanted, she would at least not be in such an awkward situation.

She herself didn't realize it.

Because of my hesitation and indecisiveness, I've missed countless opportunities.

This time it's just a repeat of the past.

The decision to abandon the alliance with Iwagakure and instead reopen the bridge of negotiations with Menma, from a general perspective, cannot be considered a wrong choice. It simply shows that everyone has their own limitations in how they view issues.

The reason why Konoha was in an awkward, stagnant state for three or four decades after Tobirama Senju's death was that...

It's because of this group of so-called high-level people who are constantly pulling in different directions.

"Iwagakure? Elder Shimura, placing your hopes on other ninja villages or other people is equally irresponsible. Are you so sure that they aren't using us? Konoha can't afford to take any more risks."

A land of constant warfare.

Various countries coveted it.

It lacks a truly decisive force.

These are precisely the major problems that Konoha now faces.

Human factors are one aspect, but objective factors in reality are another aspect that cannot be ignored.

Unlike Danzo, who had ultimate confidence in himself and the ninja village.

Tsunade was genuinely worried that her village, Konoha, would suffer an unacceptable blow. Menma had already become a formidable force. In such a large village as Konoha, there were two Jinchuriki, the Six-Tails and the Seven-Tails, who were comparable to the Five Kage, as well as a black monster whose strength exceeded that of ordinary Tailed Beasts.

So what if we have Iwagakure as an ally?

Does Konoha only have one rogue ninja, Menma Uzumaki? And only one enemy, Hidden Light Village?!

Shouldn't our past tragic experiences serve as a warning?

Unless they can quickly defeat the enemy, even if they are stuck in a stalemate, the risks and pressure that Konoha will face will definitely not be lower than those that Hidden Light Village will face.

Even if there were some reservations and some restraint.

However, even when the four major ninja villages joined forces, they were unable to defeat the Hidden Light Village or capture Menma. Now, they should readjust their strategy.

Tsunade didn't think that by joining forces with just one village, Iwagakure, they could achieve far greater results than before.

"Tsunade, this is a sign of cowardice!"

Danzo spoke with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Starting with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

From Minato Namikaze, who died in battle later, to Tsunade now.

Danzo always felt that these three people were not suitable to be Hokage.

If we want to revitalize Konoha, we have to rely on Danzo Shimura; he is the most suitable person to inherit the Will of Fire.

"Danzo, your actions are the most unacceptable!"

Tsunade suddenly stood up, looking at Danzo with a very cold expression and said sternly.

"From today onwards, in the name of the Hokage, I hereby strip you of your position as leader of Root. Stay at home and reflect on your actions. Without my order, you are not to step out of the house. Root will be temporarily placed under the management of Elder Mitomon."

"You can't do this, Tsunade. My Root was born for Konoha. Only I can understand the true duty and meaning of Root."

Danzo also stood up in opposition, his expression clearly showing extreme disapproval.

"Danzo, how dare you! I am the Hokage of Konoha!"

Tsunade's beautiful face was now covered in frost, and a chilling aura emanated from her.

Danzo heard this familiar phrase.

His expression changed involuntarily.

The countless rages surging in his chest made Danzo's face incredibly ferocious.

Naruto!

Naruto!

The only exception is Naruto!

Over the decades.

Danzo had longed for this position for a long time.

Everything he did was to ascend to this throne.

However, all his actions were repeatedly suppressed by the person in this position. This was the case with Hiruzen Sarutobi before, and it is the same with Tsunade now.

The former is one thing.

After all, she was the successor chosen by his own mentor and a peer of his. Even so, Danzo still felt that he was countless times better than Hiruzen Sarutobi. Tsunade, who was standing in front of him now, was just his junior.

What gives them the right to give me orders?!

Criticize yourself!?

"Tsunade, you..."

Danzo, who had just stood up abruptly, was about to say something more.

"Excuting an order!"

Tsunade, with a cold expression, suddenly swung her arm.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

It is located around Danzo.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

Four members of the Hokage's direct ANBU appeared, and judging from their demeanor and the intense killing intent they exuded, they were clearly top-tier members of the ANBU, definitely Jonin level.

They completely surrounded Danzo.

"Tsunade, what are you doing?"

"Tsunade, calm down."

Elders Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, who were sitting on one side, were also startled and immediately stood up.

In their view.

The argument just now was just a repetition of what had happened over the past few decades. They were used to this scene anyway. No matter how much they argued, in the end they would just go back to the same old thing.

Moreover, it was all for the benefit of the village.

There's no need to really make a big fuss.

Danzo has temporarily relinquished his position as the head of the Root organization.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already done it; it wasn't like he directly disbanded Root. Instead, he handed it over to Homura Mitokado for management. Both elders considered it standard procedure.

But Tsunade's action was different.

The secret agents have appeared.

It is clear that further measures such as physical control and imprisonment will be implemented.

The meanings are completely different now.

Surely there can't be any real bloodshed? Danzo, after all, is still a high-ranking member of the village and a direct disciple of the Second Hokage.

Mitokado Hō and Utatane Koharu absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.

Danzo's expression became more terrifying than ever before.

He stared intently at Tsunade.

It was as if they intended to make their move right here.

"Don't worry, elders. I won't do anything as outrageous as some people do. I just want Elder Shimura to calm down. It's time to take drastic measures. You two should take a look."

Tsunade waved her hand, and as she spoke, she gestured to Shizune, who was sitting at the back, to hand a special scroll to the two advisors.

His own aura was also firmly locked onto Danzo's location.

That old geezer!

Even though I haven't fought in a long time.

If it really comes to a fight...

Tsunade was determined to make Danzo pay, no matter how badly he acted.
