In the conference hall, a group of high-level officials saw that Tuan Zang was scolded by the rope tree with insinuating sharp words, and they were amused in their hearts, and at the same time, they inevitably felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

This person, who had competed with three generations of Hokage back then, was the leader of the Konoha Martial Arts Faction and occupied a pivotal position in Konoha politics, but now he was so humiliated in public by a junior, and what was even more aggrieved was that he couldn't even refute it.

What could be more difficult to accept than this humiliation for someone like Tuan Zang, who has always been tough?

It's no wonder that his face is so ugly, and everyone is even worried that he will vomit blood in anger.

Isn't the behavior of the rope tree a bit excessive?

But when everyone thought about it, this kind of humiliation didn't seem to be anything compared to the catastrophe that the group had almost caused before. Moreover, the rope tree speaks without leakage, there is no handle to grasp, and they do not have the slightest position to support, so even if they sympathize with Tuan Zang's suffering, they still choose to watch silently from the sidelines. After the rope tree vented, the matter naturally subsided.

But is it that simple?

Rope tree looked at Tuan Zang's wonderful face like opening a dye shop, not only did he not have the slightest sympathy but sneered in his heart, Tuan Zang acted violently and without the slightest bottom line, and what was worse was that he was not enough to succeed and more than he lost, I don't know how much trouble he caused to Konoha in the original plot, and he must be ruthless to the end for this kind of poisonous snake and mad dog-like enemy, and he can't take care of the old feelings, otherwise he will end up like a farmer and a farmer in a snake.

If it weren't for the identity of the elders of the group, as well as the reaction of the three generations of Hokage and others, Rope Tree would even want to assassinate him directly. However, Rope Tree knew that if he wanted to inherit the Hokage's position, he must not do such a rule-breaking thing.

Therefore, he can only use the means within the rules to fight with Tuan Zang.

Although he already had murderous intentions towards Tuan Zang in his heart, Rope Tree said to Tuan Zang with a concerned face on the surface: "What's wrong with Tuan Zang Leader? Why is your face so ugly? Have you been too tired lately and feel unwell? Do you want to go back and recuperate?"

The high-level executives present looked at the rope tree with a sincere face, and their expressions became strange, how dark is this to make this kind of performance? is obviously an incompatible political enemy, but he pretends to be a filial son and grandson.

However, most of the high-level officials present breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, thinking that the rope tree was planning to let Tuan Zang go, so he found a step for the other party to go down, as long as Tuan Zang took advantage of the situation and retreated, he could naturally get rid of the embarrassing situation in front of him.

So they echoed it:

"Tuanzang-sama must be overworked!"

"Lord Tuanzang, let's go home and recuperate quickly!"

"Yes, the body is the most important thing!"

……

Rope tree watched everyone's reaction, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, the reason why he suddenly attacked Tuanzang before was not simply to take revenge and vent, the main purpose was to further attack Tuanzang's reputation and exclude him from this meeting!

There are one and two, once Tuan Zang claims to be sick and retreats today, then it is equivalent to confirming the fact that he framed his juniors for his own selfishness and almost put the entire Konoha in danger, and in the future, Rope Tree can use this stain to continuously suppress Tuan Zang and gradually exclude him from the core decision-making level.

As a seasoned politician, the three generations of Hokage, the two advisors, and Danzou himself all saw the pitfalls at a glance.

Those high-level leaders who spoke up thought they were out of good intentions, but their words were falling into the well in Tuan Zang's ears!

Desperate, Tuan Zang had to cast a plea of his peers for help at this time.

The three generations of Hokage looked at Tuan Zang's eyes for help, and at the same time, he was relieved and couldn't bear it, this shinobi was resolute and resolute, and his only weakness was that he couldn't let go of the feelings in his heart, especially his lifelong companion, no way out how the other party hurt himself, he would choose to forgive.

It's just that this time it's the contradiction between his most proud disciple and his base partner, and the rope tree is completely in charge, so even if the three generations of Hokage want to let go of the group, he can't find a suitable reason for a while, could he just say to his disciple that he spared the other party once for the sake of the teacher's face? The character of the rope tree will definitely not give up, and the relationship between their master and apprentice will also be a gap because of this.

Faced with a dilemma, the three generations of Hokage could only smoke their pipes in large gulps to hide their emotions.

On the other side, the two advisers, Menyan and Xiaochun, were obviously weighing the pros and cons with a glint in their eyes at this time, and the two of them, who were political animals, were obviously not moved by a look of asking for help.

They were thinking about how it would affect them if they lost power.

The status of Konoha's two advisors has always been very transcendent, not only holding great power, but also influencing Konoha's major decisions at certain critical moments, and the neutral faction represented by the two of them can even balance the power of the Hokage!

Compared to the advisor elders in the other major ninja villages, who have almost become vassals and staff members of the shadow, the power position of the Konoha advisor is not much more transcendent.

And the reason for all this, in addition to the fact that the two of them are both disciples of the second generation of Hokage, have special identities and outstanding abilities, it is also because the martial arts faction represented by Tuan Zang has always been at odds with the concept of the third generation Hokage, and they are competing against each other, so the neutral faction represented by the two of them is particularly important, not only can ease the relationship between the two factions, but sometimes they can even play the role of a referee and influence the general trend of Konoha.

With the passage of time, the two advisors relied on balancing the contradictions between the three generations and the group, and their power position became greater and greater, and they almost achieved the power of the three clans.

If it weren't for the weakness of the character of the three generations of Hokage who were too emotional, no ruler would have tolerated this kind of thing.

The two advisors know very well that their current transcendent status is inseparable from Konoha's special political situation, so if the political situation in Konoha changes due to the loss of power in a mess, then the power position of the two of them will inevitably be affected, so for the sake of their own interests, they must not let Tuan Zang fall!

After thinking about this, Menyan first spoke out and said, "I believe that Tuan Zang is loyal to Konoha and will not do anything to damage Konoha's interests for personal gain!" Although the words and deeds of the leader of the group were inappropriate, fortunately, it did not cause any losses to Konoha! So for the sake of Konoha's overall situation, I hope the two of them can release their previous suspicions! ”

Xiao Chun also smiled and said to the mud: "Rope tree, although Tuan Zang's approach is a bit reckless, he is also dedicated to the public, but he is just acting without consideration. Fortunately, we and your teacher will not let him make a big mistake.

In any case, he is your teacher's fellow brother, and also your elder, so I hope you can forgive him this time. ”
