The ninjas of the Hokage clan had a strong sense of inheritance, and they controlled almost all the power in the village. The only exception was that the Uchiha clan, one of the two founding families of the village, disappeared, and the once prosperous security department no longer existed.

Although Uchiha overestimated his own abilities and brought this upon himself, people who don't know the truth still feel more sympathy for him.

The Hyuga family, another powerful family in Konoha, has never been very enthusiastic about participating in village affairs. Without a leader of sufficient weight, they naturally cannot gather enough strength to compete with these Hokage disciples who claim to be the orthodox successors.

For a long time, they have had the illusion that they have the privilege to do whatever they want. The same behavior can be interpreted differently by different people, and right and wrong are determined by their words, as if they have really become the embodiment of justice, but they have forgotten that not everyone turns a blind eye to Shimura Danzo's actions.

Before the Uchiha clan was exterminated, Danzo Shimura rarely forced the children of the major families to join the inhumane "Root".

The ninja clan members who have their own promotion channels do not need to deal with the gloomy "root". But in recent years, everything has changed. The Aburame, Nara, Yamanaka, and even the Hyuga clans were not spared. The arrogant and domineering Danzo did not take these clans seriously and forced them to offer their clansmen to Danzo. Yamanaka Fuu and Aburame Togen were typical victims. Even though these two talented young men were loyal to Shimura Danzo, it did not mean that these clans had no opinions about Danzo.

The Konoha ninja team is becoming more and more civilian, but the ninja family is still the main force of Konoha. Moreover, even the civilian ninja may not be convinced by these direct descendants of the Hokage.

Unfortunately, Mizuki had a close relationship with the Hyuga family for some reason, and the three students in the eighth class he led, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and Hyuga Hinata, were all members of the family.

Although many families are supporters of the Hokage series, due to their stance, they may not tolerate Danzo Shimura continuing to suppress the major ninja clans.

Tsunade looked at Mizuki with a changing expression, and asked in disbelief: "Mizuki, are you dissatisfied with me inheriting the position of Hokage?"

"No, I have no objection to Lady Tsunade being elected as the fifth generation!"

Because of the wars, most of the time, the position of Hokage is chosen by strong people with outstanding military achievements. This was the case with the first and second generations. In addition to his military achievements and prestige, the fourth generation relied more on his personal charm. The third generation was elected as the last will of the second generation, and that is why he stood out among several companions with similar backgrounds.

Tsunade is very different. Her strength, military exploits, reputation, and background are one aspect, but more importantly, her medical ninjutsu and the strongest medical system in the ninja world she established have saved countless lives in the war, giving full play to the comprehensive advantages of Konoha Village's rich resources and large population. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has changed the pattern and destiny of Konoha. The number of people who have benefited from her is countless, and her election as Hokage is what everyone expected. In the past six months, Konoha Village has been able to achieve such a situation, and Tsunade has made an indelible contribution.

"In that case, did you attack Danzo just for personal revenge?"

"This matter has nothing to do with me!"

Shuimu flatly denied it. No matter how much suspicion there was, Shuimu would never admit it. Unless there was solid evidence, don't even think about letting him admit it.

"Shuimu, you may be very strong, and the village's torture methods will have no effect on you. Mind reading probably won't be a problem for you either. But, you are so unscrupulous, don't you think about your family?"

"Hmm?" Mizuki's face darkened, and he looked at Utane Koharu with a frown. The chakra in his body began to surge involuntarily, and the breath carrying Mizuki's will began to rhythmically emit a sense of oppression, and the air around him suddenly became heavy.

At this moment, a hand reached out and rested on Mizuki's shoulder. Mizuki turned around and saw Hatake Kakashi shaking his head at him, and Yamashiro Aoba on the side also turned his head away pretending not to see it.

Shuimu took a deep breath and retracted his outward aura.

Tsunade and Mitomon En also looked at Utane Koharu with dissatisfaction. Unlike the rebellion of the entire Uchiha clan, a Konoha jonin threatened his family and children before being found guilty. If the news got out, the village would lose all its face. This is not like dealing with Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi without outsiders knowing. Nara Shikaku, Hatake Kakashi, Yamashiro Aoba, how can they be silenced?

As if realizing that his words were inappropriate, Utane Koharu paused and said, "I did say something wrong. But, Mizuki, I hope you don't forget your duty as a jonin of Konoha!"

"Got it, thanks for the advice!"

Tsunade was relieved that they didn't fall out on the spot, but at the same time, she gave up the idea of ​​asking Mizuki to confess. "Suspected criminal jounin Mizuki, you are not allowed to leave the village without orders, and you must cooperate with the investigation at any time."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and continued, "You still have to complete the tasks for the Chunin Exam outside. You can go out now."

"yes!"

Mizuki bowed, then pushed the door open and walked out.

The room fell into silence for a moment, and it was Mito Kado En who asked first: "Tsunade, it was really not you who ordered Mizuki to assassinate Danzo?"

"How many times do I have to tell you that although Danzo annoys me, it's not to the point where I need to resort to assassination!" Tsunade replied unhappily, "As the Hokage, I have not failed to this extent!"

"That's good!" Utane Koharu said with some worry, "Mizuki is getting stronger and stronger. Danzo has suffered at his hands. Moreover, he is unruly and unscrupulous. He is too dangerous. He must be supervised and restricted!"

"There's no need to worry too much about a ninja who grew up in the village and has a clean resume. He's already married and has children, so he won't do anything to harm the village, otherwise he'd be destroying his own home, right?" Nara Shikaku interrupted and spoke up for Mizuki.

Tsunade nodded, then asked Hatake Kakashi, "You have a good relationship with him, what do you think?"

"Hmm..." Kakashi tilted his head and thought for a while, then answered: "He has a lot on his mind, and his thoughts are jumping around. Many times I can't be sure what he is thinking. However, he should not be a person as inhumane as Orochimaru!"

"In that case, I'll give you a task. Keep an eye on Shuimu for now. You're the only one who can distinguish his true self from his clones and stop him from doing anything wrong!"

"Understood!" Although he was reluctant, Kakashi had no choice but to take on this troublesome task.
