The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Kakashi and Shikaku, who were on the opposite side, also subconsciously adopted a defensive posture. Since it was their Hokage's order, they had to carry it out without hesitation.

Even Jiraiya, who appears relaxed, is always ready to act if the situation changes.

The tight security from all sides left Danzo with absolutely no opportunity to make a move, unless he directly exposed his secret here.

Is that appropriate?

Danzo gritted his teeth, his hands clenching unconsciously.

"Is everything on this real, Tsunade?!"

The scroll does not contain much information.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu only glanced at it twice before finishing reading it, and their expressions immediately became very serious.

"That's all true, of course. Everything was found during the search of the Root base."

Jiraiya, sitting on the left, spoke with a solemn expression.

When Danzo saw the change in the expression on the faces of his two longtime friends, he had a bad feeling.

Now, upon hearing Jiraiya's words again...

Danzo's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"You actually dared to trespass into my Root Base, what are you doing..."

Danzo, who had been provoked by Tsunade's words "I am the Hokage," suddenly seemed to lose his mind.

In a fit of rage, he was about to blurt out those words.

"Danzo, this time, you really went too far. Just like Tsunade said, you should calm down for a while."

Mitokado Homura abruptly interrupted Danzo, uttering his words in a rather rude tone.

"Yes, Danzo, you should rest for now. You've worked too hard lately and must be quite exhausted. Once you've recovered, I promise the Root will be back in your hands."

This was accompanied by a comment from Koharu Utatane, who was sitting next to her.

This immediately brought Danzo to a halt.

This seems to be helping Tsunade suppress Danzo's words, but what is the actual situation?

Everyone present knew perfectly well that Tsunade only frowned slightly, taking into account the unstable internal environment of the village, and still held back.

As long as Danzo obediently follows orders.

It's indeed impossible for Tsunade to completely wipe them out.

Chapter 395 Hesitant Decision

It is clear that they have lost all initiative.

Even Danzo wouldn't act recklessly.

At this moment, Danzo was truly unsure whether Tsunade would attack him. No one knew better than him what he had done within Root, and he understood the devastating impact it would be if all those things were made public. Human experimentation? That was just one issue, one that could be easily explained away. After all, when it came down to it, the human experimentation conducted by the Second Hokage, their mentor, far surpassed theirs not only in depth but also in sheer quantity.

This is really not a particularly big problem.

But some other things are not so easily explained.

For example, colluding with foreign countries.

Unauthorized trading of top-level secrets of the ninja village!

This is a truly heinous crime. Danzo himself thought he was doing this for the sake of the village's future, but what about those ignorant people? They certainly wouldn't see it that way. Once he was publicly branded as a traitor, the Hokage's throne would be completely out of his reach.

This is something Danzo could never accept.

and so.

Almost immediately after his two closest friends finished speaking.

"Tsunade, I hope you won't regret this. I'll be watching you!"

Danzo also uttered such a typical and uttered words of surrender and admission of defeat.

"Boom!"

Immediately, it was as if to facilitate the venting of his anger.

He slammed his wooden cane heavily into the ground.

Only then did he turn around and stride away.

Several members of the Hokage's direct ANBU, ordered by Tsunade, and Kakashi, who had received special instructions from Tsunade, also immediately followed.

Let's not talk about what will happen in the future.

At least for the foreseeable future.

They were determined to stay close to Danzo and not allow him to engage in any free activities.

He watched as Danzo chose to admit defeat and leave.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu both breathed a sigh of relief. If they had to say, Danzo's crimes, according to Konoha's rules, were enough to warrant ten beheadings. Not to mention the series of things he did afterward, the assassination attempt on Sarutobi Hiruzen ten years ago alone was a first-rate crime.

But in the end, Danzo was completely unharmed.

The reason is simple: Danzo was ultimately a high-ranking member of the ninja village.

More importantly, whether it's Hiruzen Sarutobi who has already died, or Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane who are still alive, they all still believe that Danzo's true nature must be for Konoha, at most just that his methods are a bit ruthless and dark.

The village still needs Danzo.

This is why Danzo has escaped his crimes time and time again.

This time, Danzo had clearly angered Tsunade, and the two advisors were genuinely worried that Danzo would be stubborn to the end.

Tsunade isn't Hiruzen.

Once they really start fighting.

Regardless of the situation.

Neither of the two advisors would accept it.

The two advisors believed that the best approach was to lift it high and then lower it gently.

The current situation is the best it can be.

"Tsunade, you don't need to worry about Danzo. Koharu and I will keep an eye on him. At least for the time being, we will definitely not let him cause any more trouble. As for village affairs, just follow your judgment. However, we old folks still hope that you can think things through as much as possible, especially regarding the issue of Menma Uzumaki. You must be extremely cautious, as that is a major issue concerning the safety of our Hidden Leaf Village!"

Mitokado Homura exhaled a breath of stale air and said with a very serious expression.

"Don't worry, Elder Mitomon, I know very well what the duties of the Hokage are, and Konoha is the result of my great-grandfather and great-grandfather's hard work, which I value more than anyone else!"

You could clearly hear the unease in his voice.

Because he was in a fit of rage.

Tsunade, unusually, retorted firmly.

She was truly fed up with these old folks. They were of no help whatsoever, all they did was give orders and create trouble and obstacles for her in every aspect of her life.

If I hadn't reached that age...

If only you were ten years younger.

Tsunade wanted to teach these old fogies a lesson every minute.

That's absolutely infuriating.

Mitokado Homura's expression froze for a moment after being rebuked by Tsunade.

At that moment, all I could do was shake my head slightly.

He took Koharu with him and left first, as there was still a mess at Root that needed his attention, since it was a powerful department of his own ninja village.

The members inside are all elite Chunin, so things can't really get out of control.

This is the main reason why Tsunade couldn't directly disband Root after restricting Danzo.

This department has existed for thirty years.

Everything is functioning perfectly.

Tsunade did not want her forceful methods to cause a shutdown or even more serious problems.

Every single member of Root is a valuable asset to Konoha.

The prerequisite is that Danzo's control must be broken.

Then, gradually transitioning from Mitomon En, the roots are returned to their own directly subordinate dark parts.

"Shikaku, you should also keep a close eye on things at Root, and be prepared to take over if necessary."

After Mitokado Homura and the others left.

Tsunade took a deep breath, sat down again, and looked at Shikaku, who was sitting nearby.

Regain control of the roots.

This is an intention that Tsunade has been trying to achieve since she came to power.

However, it was precisely because of Danzo's existence, as well as the influence of two other old men, that Tsunade found it difficult to take action.

This unexpected event is the biggest opportunity.

You wouldn't know unless you looked it up.

A check was taken aback.

Danzo, that old bastard, actually did so many outrageous things behind the village's back. He even managed to obtain the list of the Hokage's direct ANBU members and leak it directly, which was one of the village's top secrets.

Danzo handed it over without even blinking.

How could Tsunade not be furious?

The scariest thing is that this is only what I've found out; there are other, even more hidden things!?

Tsunade couldn't imagine it.

This time, Danzo was kicked out of Root. The next step is to thoroughly investigate Root and gradually regain control of the personnel.
