Volume 1, Chapter 316: Danzo is relieved of his duties and all the Roots are captured
What did he do to make Hiruzen so angry?
As soon as Utane Koharu and Mitokado En saw the Third Hokage's face, they knew without guessing that Danzo was in trouble.
It is possible that Danzo, who has just regained his roots, will be pushed down to the bottom again.
As the footsteps stopped, the door to the office hours was pushed open and Danzo walked in slowly.
"Sarutobi, have you dealt with the request for supplies?"
"Um?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Danzo realized something was wrong.
The Third Hokage's face was uglier than if his parents had died. Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En also looked at him in confusion.
Instinctively, Danzo knew something was wrong.
After all, Danzo had done a lot of shady things behind the Third Hokage's back, so he was more or less mentally prepared.
"How dare you talk to me about supplies!"
The Third Hokage was so angry that his fingers pointing at Danzo were shaking:
"Danzo, tell me, what's going on with these supplies?
You said Tsunade was holding you back, so I went to the logistics department myself and found out that you, Danzo, were so capable. You applied for the Root's supplies again and again with different excuses."
"It would be fine if it was just the roots, but you also applied for the Anbu's supplies. Who gave you the right?"
No way.
Utane Koharu and Kado En widened their eyes, opened their mouths slightly, and looked at the expressionless Danzo in surprise.
It's already this time, and you still dare to do such a thing?
That's not right. If it was just an application, the Third Hokage would definitely know about it. The problem is...
Judging from the current situation, the Third Hokage was obviously unaware of the situation. So who wrote the application? And who stamped it?
Thinking of this, they both took a deep breath.
Danzo has become so bold!
This is a right only the Hokage has.
There is nothing wrong with you borrowing the name of Hokage. If you are found out, at most you will just say a few words which are not very harmful.
But you, Danzo, even dare to take the Hokage's seal, that's your problem.
"Speak, why don't you speak?"
Danzo remained silent, and the Third Hokage became more and more angry:
“Who gave you the right?
I don’t remember receiving a similar application. Who stamped your application!!!”
The fact that Danzo didn't refute it meant that he acknowledged these things.
Otherwise, with Danzo's personality, he would jump eight feet high if he was slandered.
"Huruzen, don't be angry yet, maybe this is just a misunderstanding."
Koharu Utane hurried to smooth things over. She didn't want the matter to become a big deal, as it would cause a lot of trouble.
"Maybe it's a mistake? Danzo, please speak up."
"As long as he can give me a reasonable explanation, then I will believe that this is a misunderstanding!!!"
The Third Hokage's chest heaved up and down, showing how angry he was at that moment.
He really wanted to know what explanation Danzo could come up with.
"If you feel that I have misunderstood you, I can have Tsunade come over immediately for a confrontation."
To choose between believing in Danzo or Tsunade, the Third Hokage would definitely choose to believe in Tsunade.
You can tell with your eyes closed that Danzo has done nothing good.
Tsunade wouldn't dare joke about such a thing.
"Danzo, please say something!!"
Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were also getting anxious and kept urging them on.
“That’s enough!!!”
Under the constant questioning of the Third Hokage and the urging of the two elders, Danzo also got angry:
"I applied for all the supplies because the Root suffered a devastating blow and needed to be restored, but Tsunade blocked it with various reasons. I had no choice but to use this method to mobilize supplies. Everything I did was for the village."
"............"
“........”
“........”
Such a righteous way of shifting the blame made the Third Hokage numb, and Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were also confused.
It sounds familiar. Once upon a time, I also liked to use this sentence to persuade others. I never thought that there would be a day when I would be forced to persuade by others.
The Third Hokage felt extremely uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than a broken dog.
"Where are the supplies?"
You are doing this for the village, I believe you, but what about the supplies?
There are so many supplies that you can never consume them all.
"Don't tell me everything is gone.
Ordinary supplies are fine, but why are you applying for various medical supplies and medical equipment in my name? What on earth are you doing, Danzo?"
"Does Gen want to change careers and become the second medical department?"
Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were so shocked that they were speechless. They could only watch the show in amazement.
At this moment, their minds were blank, with only one thought in their minds:
How dare he?
Not only did Danzo dare to do it, he actually did it.
It was done without anyone knowing. If the Third Hokage hadn't gone to the logistics department to find Tsunade in person, there's no telling how long this matter would have been kept secret.
As for the materials taken away under various names and reasons, they have naturally been converted into funds and invested in the research institute.
Not to mention handing over all the supplies, even if Danzo were asked to give out one tenth of them, he wouldn't be able to do so.
For his own sake and for the sake of his research, he wanted to sell all his equipment in exchange for research funds.
Even so, what he and Orochimaru were researching together was still a bottomless pit, and he didn't know how much more money he would have to invest before there would be any results.
I have a clear conscience. Everything I do is for the village.
Danzo stood in the office expressionlessly, with no intention of speaking at all. No matter how the Third Hokage asked him questions, he just remained silent.
"Danzo, you really don't want to speak?"
The Third Hokage endured and was on the verge of exploding, but Danzo remained silent.
“Good, very good!!!”
"From today on, I will completely remove Danzo Shimura from his position as Hokage's assistant. I will immediately capture all the Roots and imprison them."
All the people in Root are die-hard fans of Danzo, and the Third Hokage knows this.
He also knew that even if he got rid of Danzo, he would not be able to command the people of Root. In that case, he should arrest them all and lock them up.
If it weren't for their decades of friendship, the Third Hokage would have wanted to take down Danzo as well.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The Anbu ninja took action immediately.
Tateishi Koharu quickly advised:
"Huruzen, isn't this too decisive? How about taking it easy? Maybe Danzo will regret it after a while."
Facing Utatane Koharu's advice, the Third Hokage said coldly:
"Do you want me to remove him from his position and arrest all the Roots, or do you want Tsunade to make this known?"
"............"
After a few seconds of silence, Utane Koharu decided not to say anything.
Just handle it however you want, just ignore what I said.
All of this is Danzo's own fault, so it's no big deal if he handles it internally.
If Tsunade were pushed into a corner and made everything public, the entire Council of Elders might also suffer.
At this time, how could Utane Koharu and Mitomon En dare to continue to help and plead?
It's good enough if I can protect myself.
