Chapter 999 Controversy over the Regimental Collection
Rope tree pretended not to hear the deep meaning of Sarufei's words, and naturally turned his head to Yamato and said, "Since Sarufei has nodded in agreement, then I have no reason to object, so you can engrave the "Will of the Forest" on these roots and include them in the family. β
Yamato hurriedly thanked the two of them when he heard this: "Thank you Hokage-sama!" Thank you, teacher! β
"Don't rejoice too soon!" Rope tree poured cold water on Yamato with a serious face: "These roots will be your direct subordinates after joining the branch. However, their minds have been crippled under the brutal training of the group, and even if they have the restriction of the "Will of the Forest", it is very dangerous, so you must pay attention to their mental problems! β
"The disciple will do his best to convince them to be loyal to the Thousand Hands Clan!" Yamato replied respectfully.
"It's not an effort, it's a certainty! If any of them have a problem, I'll just ask! Rope tree emphasized again.
"Yes! Teacher! The disciple will definitely show the attitude of completing the task! Yamato replied earnestly.
"It's not unavoidable to make this a task!" Rope Tree said along the water: "It just so happens that there is one thing right now that requires you to cooperate with these roots!"
This assassination of Mr. Sarufei can't just be counted like this, although Mr. Sarufei has pardoned you, but as the main messenger behind the scenes, Tuan Zang must be punished!
Therefore, it is necessary for you to come forward to testify against the group after the fact, and make a complete break with the past, and at the same time, it is also a test of loyalty.
No problem, right?"
Yamato knew that the rope tree was going to let him and these root elites make a name for themselves and completely break with Tuanzang, but at this time they had no way out, so they simply bowed their heads and said, "The disciple promises to complete the task!" β
On the contrary, Ape Fei on the side changed his face after hearing the conversation between the two, and he couldn't help but ask in a somewhat hurried tone: "Rope tree, are you going to investigate Tuan Zang about this matter?"
Without waiting for the rope tree to answer, Orochimaru spoke first: "Hehehe...... Teacher Ape Fei, do you still want to connive at this point? He's going to kill you! β
Sarufei said with a complicated expression: "Danzo and I are both disciples of Kazuma-sensei, and his love for Konoha is no less than mine, but the two sides have different philosophies, when he was young, he once competed with me for the position of Hokage, even if the competition failed, he did not change his loyalty to Konoha.
He has led the root to do a lot of things for Konoha in secret for so many years, and without his help, I, the Hokage, would not have been able to lead Konoha out of the trough after the First Shinobi War.
His thinking has become so extreme, and it is inseparable from the experience of the roots, and I am also responsible for serious calculations!
This time Tuan Zang did a lot of excessive, but he didn't succeed after all, didn't he? And there were no losses, including the guards.
So there is room for redemption in everything, let me talk to Danzang openly and openly, maybe ......"
"Mr. Ape Fei!" Rope Tree unconsciously raised his voice and interrupted: "You should know very well that this kind of thing can't be solved by talking, you have been with Tuan Zang for so many years, if you can really change his mind, this incident will not happen today!"
Danzang's ambition has swelled to the point of being unstoppable, and he has committed a lot of crimes, if he is not allowed to be punished this time, he will be even more rampant in the future, bringing endless troubles to Konoha! β
"This ......" Ape Fei said with a bitter face, "It's not so serious!" Can't you just give him another chance?"
"Teacher, I know that you have a deep relationship with Tuan Zang, and I can't bear to attack him.
But Danzou didn't just want to assassinate you, his purpose was to blame me for the crime and seize the Hokage's position! This is no longer a personal grudge between you and Tuanzang, but a huge conspiracy involving the entire Konoha!
As the next Hokage, I have an obligation to eliminate this cancer!
Since you can't do it, I'll do it! Rope said in a resolute tone.
Ape Fei hurriedly persuaded him: "Rope tree, don't be impulsive!" Even if you want to cure the crime of the group, you have to show evidence! β
"Hehe......" The big snake pill on the side said with a smile: "We have these roots in hand, aren't we afraid that we won't be able to cure Tuanzang?" If it really doesn't work, I can also come forward to testify for Rope Shujun. β
"Our guard can also testify!" Kakashi also stood up to make a statement, he really didn't understand why Hokage-sama was defending Danzo, and there was a bit of anger in his tone.
Ape Fei shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's useless!
Tuan Zang didn't come forward in person at all.
As long as these roots join the Senju Division, he can be said to be a perjury controlled by the "Will of the Forest"!
In the same way, the testimony of the Shadow Guard, as a subordinate of the rope tree, is not reliable.
The two advisors will not be on your side without conclusive evidence, and the matter is complicated and involves Orochimaru's experiments. It is likely that Tuan Zang will seize the opportunity to bite back. At that time, the situation in the entire Konoha will fall into chaos, and even the inheritance of the Hokage by the Rope Tree will be affected! β
"Do you need evidence for such a big crime as assassinating the Hokage? As long as Mr. Ape Fei can stand up and support us, we can forcibly take down the group first, and then find evidence! Orochimaru said with a cold look in his eyes, this is a common method used by superiors when they eliminate dissidents.
"Absolutely not!" Hearing this, Sarufei hurriedly shook his head and vetoed: "Tuan Zang is the leader of the martial arts faction, and he has controlled the root for decades, and his power within Konoha is huge, intertwined, and the tail is already too big, even I, the Hokage, can't do anything about him."
If we force our way against him, he will definitely lead his men to resist.
At that time, Konoha will surely fall into a civil strife! Once civil strife breaks out in Konoha and the consequences are unimaginable, Sand Hidden Village is a lesson from the past! β
"But, if we don't do it, will Danzou give up his ambitions for the position of Hokage?" Kakashi frowned and said, "Now that he's started assassinating Hokage-sama, if he continues like this, sooner or later he will launch a coup d'Γ©tat!" β
"No, it won't!" Sarufei said with an affirmative face: "Danzo just has a different philosophy from us, and he will definitely not take the initiative to launch a coup d'Γ©tat and plunge Konoha into civil strife."
Otherwise, after the failure of the competition back then, he would have already done it and would not have waited until now! Even now, he chose to use assassination to achieve his goal, which is enough to explain the problem!
Therefore, it is necessary to think long-term about the group. β
Kakashi, Orochimaru, and Yamato don't believe in Sarutobi's judgment very much, Danzou has even done such a thing as assassinating the Hokage, will it be far from a coup?
Only Rope Tree knew that Sarutobi was right, in the original book, Danzo never staged a coup d'Γ©tat to seize the position of Hokage, and it was not until after the fifth generation of Hokage Tsunade "died in battle" that he stood up to serve as the Hokage, and there was also a letter of appointment from the Daimyo, which shows that he didn't want Konoha to fall into internal conflict.
