Volume 1, Chapter 221: The Elders' power was withdrawn and the Root was merged into the Anbu

"Did you deliver it? How much did you deliver?"

According to the Third Hokage, Orochimaru did not make a chakra weapon for Nawaki.

This proves that the thing did not reach Orochimaru's hands.

"Sarutobi, I'm doing this for the village!!!"

After being ridiculed and questioned by the Third Hokage again and again, Danzo became furious and said angrily:

"Shouldn't we give some rewards to the village's meritorious officials and heroes?"

"Yes, of course."

The Third Hokage was so angry that he laughed.

Koharu Utane on the side kept giving Danzo a look, signaling him to speak less.

Unfortunately, Danzo didn't take it seriously at all.

Utane Koharu rolled her eyes and gave up on Danzo completely.

Since you ignore me and don't listen to me, you'll have to deal with this matter on your own.

"bump!!"

The Third Hokage slammed the table and stood up:

“Danzo, let me ask you, who gave you the authority to mobilize the village’s resources from the logistics department?

It is my duty to decide who should be rewarded. I am the Hokage of the village! ! "

At this point, you still want to cover up your mistakes?

As an assistant to the Hokage, are you qualified to do such a thing?

Where do you put me, the Hokage?!

"you........"

Danzo wanted to yell back, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Because he is not the Hokage.

Every word the Third Hokage said made sense, and every word was like a sharp knife stabbing his heart.

The muscles on his face twitched a few times, but Danzo endured it with a grim face.

Danzo finally lowered his head. The Third Hokage took a deep breath and asked:

"Where's the stuff?"

“Don’t tell me you gave all your chakra metal to Orochimaru.

As far as I know, Orochimaru did not create a chakra weapon for Nawaki."

The chakra metal that Danzo took away was not a small amount, but enough to make many weapons.

A fist-sized piece is worth millions of silver taels. The chakra metal taken away by Danzo is worth hundreds of millions! !

“Lost.”

Under repeated questioning, Danzo began to give up.

"I ordered the Root's men to deliver it to Orochimaru, but unfortunately he was assassinated just after leaving the village."

“Ahem!!!”

The Third Hokage suddenly remembered the last time the Root Ninja Village was attacked. He suddenly lost his breath and started coughing violently.

No wonder Danzo was so angry and anxious, and rushed to the Hokage's office as soon as possible regardless of his own injuries.

He was busy running around, making all kinds of suggestions, even suggesting investigating spies and finally taking revenge on the Cloud Ninja Village.

It turns out that what he cared about wasn't the attack on the Root people, or the loss of face for the village, but the loss of all the chakra metal he had secretly taken.

"What about the chakra metal that was taken away later?"

Taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage continued to ask. He needed to suppress the anger in his heart, otherwise he was afraid that he would go berserk and curse.

Danzo closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

The remaining chakra metal was naturally in his hands, but Danzo had no intention of handing it over.

Because after he handed it over, he would no longer be able to continue discussing cooperation with Orochimaru.

After being hunted by Hanzo, Danzo couldn't wait to start research so that his body could recover.

But Orochimaru is the kind of person who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.

Don't even think about cooperation if you don't have what you want.

"You won't hand it over?"

Danzo played deaf and dumb, acting like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, which made the Third Hokage so angry that he trembled all over.

Koharu Utatane couldn't help it:

"Danzo, take out the things and stop being so stubborn."

If we take out the remaining chakra metals, even if the Third Hokage is angry, he won't do anything to Danzo.

He needed Danzo after all.

But if Danzo refuses to take it out, that would be really fun.

"Shut up!!"

It would have been fine if Utane Koharu didn't say anything, but when he did, Danzo got angry and yelled:

“Did you give me the chakra metal, or did you take it from the logistics department?

Didn't we agree that both families would contribute some?"

"you........"

Tuan Zang's dog bit Lu Dongbin, and Zhuan Qin Xiaochun was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

The Third Hokage turned around and looked at the two of them, his eyes almost spitting flames.

"Well, good job to you three."

"You don't want to hand it over, right?"

The Third Hokage laughed angrily, slapped the table and shouted:

"Since you are unwilling to cooperate and have been hiding things from me, then from today on, the three of you will relinquish your powers and merge into the Anbu."

If someone else did this, he would probably end up doing hard labor in prison for decades.

But with two elders and a Hokage assisting him, the Third Hokage was furious, but he only took away the power in their hands.

But they still kept their jobs.

From now on, the three of them will still be assistants to the Hokage and elders of the Elder Council, but they will no longer have their rights.

"What?"

Danzo's pupils shrank, and Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were also shocked. They didn't expect the Third Hokage to be so cruel and directly take away their rights.

Although the status of elders and Hokage assistants is noble, to put it bluntly, they are only there to give advice.

Without power, they are nothing.

Danzo's Root, the Medical Department and the Logistics Department controlled by Utane Koharu and Mitokado En are all important departments of Konoha.

Once they lose these, their status will plummet.

"Huruzen, you can't do this to us. This is what Danzo did. Why are you targeting me and Kadoen?"

At the critical moment, Utatane Koharu decisively sold out Danzo.

"Even if Danzo did it, without your usual connivance, he wouldn't dare to take away the village's supplies from the logistics department because he doesn't have the right to do so."

The Third Hokage said coldly:

“Moreover, after you two found out, you didn’t report it to me, but concealed it, and even concealed it for a second time. You are Danzo’s accomplices.

I think you two need to calm down and think more about whether what you did is right or wrong. "

"Hiruzen, we......"

"Get out. I'm tired."

The Third Hokage would not listen to any explanation.

There is no need to listen.

Danzo and his two companions have touched the bottom line of the Third Hokage, which he cannot tolerate.

The power of these three people must be taken back to let them learn a lesson, and then restored depending on the situation.

The Third Hokage knew that he couldn't do without the help of several old friends, so he simply took back the power but did not remove them from their positions.

If they were to be stripped of their positions as well, it would only mean that Danzo and the other two would be ruined.

Chizuki had no idea what was happening in the Hokage's office, as he was staring at Minato in silence.

You little sun with thick eyebrows and big eyes, even Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto have been notified, this is a three-court trial.

"I'm really worried that you'll give up your ninja identity."

Minato smiled guiltily.

Kushina didn't care about that, she put her hands on her hips and said domineeringly:

"Qian Yue, Uncle Hokage and the others are the worst. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be a ninja. I will write an application tomorrow. I will accompany you from now on. At most, I will support you."

Being rich means being powerful!

Qianyue: “………”

Minato: “….”

Uchiha Mikoto: "........."
