The two elders were a little angry because of the arrogant words spoken in a humble tone.

"Unprovoked attack on a fellow ninja, who is a high-ranking figure in the village, is an act of treason and should be severely punished!"

Utatane Koharu was the first to judge Mizuki's behavior.

"Traitor to the village?" Mizuki's pupils shrank, staring at Utane Koharu and asked, "Let's not talk about whether I attacked Danzo or not. According to what you said, Shimura Danzo instigated his subordinates to attack me again and again. Isn't that also the rebellion you mentioned? I still remember the order restricting his actions clearly, but in the blink of an eye, they just pretended it didn't happen? He blatantly left the village with his old subordinates. This should be an act of defection, right? I think the village should label him as a traitor and issue a wanted order, or kill him on the spot!"

"That's nonsense. Danzo left the village with a mission. How can you slander the Konoha high-ranking officials like this?"

Utane Koharu shouted sternly.

Mizuki smiled and said nothing, but turned to Tsunade and said, "I wonder if Lady Tsunade has issued an order to lift Elder Danzo's confinement? Or has she ordered Elder Danzo to go out?"

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "None!"

Mizuki looked at Utatane Koharu again and asked sarcastically, "Did you hear that? You secretly arrested a ninja from the same village, and when the matter was exposed, you left the village without permission because you were dissatisfied with the punishment. If this isn't desertion, what is it?"

Utatane Koharu looked at Tsunade with dissatisfaction, and then said: "Danzo's order to leave the village was reported to us as advisors. Although there was no clear order, his action was tacitly approved."

"Approval? That's such a light-hearted statement!"

Mizuki sneered.

The serious Mitomon En on the side was also very dissatisfied with Mizuki's frivolous tone, and said: "Danzo has made outstanding military achievements over the years and has made great contributions to the village. Moreover, as a disciple of the Hokage, he will not betray Konoha!"

"Will a Hokage disciple with outstanding achievements not betray the village?" Mizuki said disdainfully, "Speaking of achievements, which of the Konoha Jonins is not outstanding? Even I believe that I have no slackness and have been through life and death more than once or twice. A Hokage disciple will not betray? Have you forgotten Orochimaru?"

The merciless words revealed the scars that everyone had turned a blind eye to, and even Tsunade couldn't help but frown.

"Orochimaru, who is obsessed with power, actually attacked his compatriots and used them as experimental materials..."

Mizuki waved his hand, "Danzo has never done anything that Orochimaru has done?"

"Did you believe those groundless rumors out there? Human experiments, collusion with Orochimaru, and conspiracy and rebellion, how could such a thing happen?"

"Is it impossible?" Shuimu didn't want to beat around the bush with these guys pretending to be confused. "I don't believe you haven't been curious about Danzo's sealed right arm and the right half of his body. Do you want to uncover it and see if those rumors are really groundless?"

Even without the Byakugan and the Sharingan, a jonin with particularly keen perception could still notice that something was wrong. Although Shimura Danzo lived in seclusion and was unknown to outsiders, his companions who had been with him for decades did not have the slightest suspicion. It was simply incredible.

Shuimu's questioning left the two elders speechless.

"I think the difference between Danzo and Orochimaru is that Danzo is powerful and his companions are in high positions, while Orochimaru is alone and his two companions have not yet become Hokage!"

"Nonsense! Not only have you slandered Danzo, you've also insinuated doubts about us and even defamed the reputation of the late previous Hokage!"

Utatane Koharu was furious and turned to Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, as the Hokage, shouldn't you do something? The glory of our ancestors cannot be tarnished!"

Tsunade also felt that the situation was becoming difficult. It was originally a very serious internal conflict, and now it was about to turn into a political crisis.

"Shuimu, there are some things that cannot be said carelessly. Konoha's will cannot be doubted!"

"Lady Tsunade, I didn't say anything nonsense, I'm sure you know best!"

Mizuki leaned forward and said slowly, "I remember that the Third-Kage had long ago taken back all of Danzo's power and ordered the dismissal of his subordinates and their incorporation into the Anbu directly under the Hokage! In other words..."

Shuimu glanced at the two consultants whose faces were becoming increasingly grim.

"The Root that was established in the village to cultivate the Anbu no longer exists. The Root that is now independent in the village is a completely illegal organization. Their leader, Danzo Shimura, does not even have an official position except the title of the Hokage's disciple. In other words, Danzo and those Konoha ninjas who do not obey the Hokage's orders can all be defined as traitors! Every Konoha ninja has the obligation to eliminate them. Am I right, two respected elders?"

Mizuki's words, especially the word "highly respected", deeply hurt Utane Koharu and Mitokado En's hearts.

"How could you possibly know such a top secret?" Even Tsunade asked in disbelief, "I only found out about this by accident!"

"No matter what it is, as long as someone does it, it will be known. Even the vague prophecies are believed by people. Isn't Master Jiraiya working for this most of his life?"

The scene suddenly became extremely awkward.

After a while, it was Mizuki who spoke first: "The attack on Elder Danzo has nothing to do with me. Although it's not good to gloat over this matter, I still hope that Lady Tsunade and the two elders can eradicate the cancer of Konoha as soon as possible!"

"You don't need to worry about this matter. We will handle it naturally! We will find evidence that will convince you of the suspicion against you!"

Mizuki said indifferently: "I am waiting for your questions at any time! In addition, please do not spread the two advisors' remarks about the privileges of the Hokage and his disciples, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings!"

"The first Hokage of Konoha Village was the founder. The second, third, and fifth Hokage were all appointed in times of crisis. The only fourth Hokage in peacetime was chosen by the entire village."

"Konoha belongs to all the villagers, not the private property of the Hokage and his disciples. The reason why the Hokage became the Hokage is because he was recognized by everyone, not just because of his status as a Hokage disciple!"

"Do you want to stir up civil unrest in the village, Mizuki?" Even the steady Mizuto Menyan couldn't help but show a look of shock!

The gap between the ninja families and the civilian ninjas, and the conflict between the Hokage's direct lineage and the non-direct lineage, are two scars that have not healed in Konoha Village for decades. If the relationship between the wealthy families and the civilian ninjas has eased in recent years, then the last victim of the conflict between the Hokage's direct lineage and the non-direct lineage was the Uchiha clan, which had been exterminated.
