"Orochimaru still doesn't give up!"

I had just left here before, but I didn't expect to return here not long after leaving.

As a party and an assistant who is directly responsible to the Hokage, Ethan reported to Tsunade the whole process of what had just happened, and with Sasuke and Naruto's explanations, the matter was already clear.

Orochimaru still covets Uchiha Sasuke, so he sent his elite to 'kidnap' Sasuke.

That's right, it's kidnapping! This matter has been characterized, as for Orochimaru asking his subordinates to persuade Uchiha Sasuke to defect, there is no need to emphasize it, after all, Sasuke did not choose to leave, but killed the invading sound ninja, which is enough to prove that Uchiha Sasuke has no idea of rebellion at present.

But...... The guy next to him doesn't seem to think so.

Shimura Danzo, the most unpopular person in the entire Konoha Village, also appeared in the Hokage's office this time, but perhaps because the three generations did not die and were also present, Shimura Danzou was very low-key from beginning to end, and he didn't even say anything.

After listening to all the debriefings, the entire office fell into a dead silence.

What made them care about it was not only Orochimaru's immortality, but also the weakness of Konoha's defenses...... Orochimaru's subordinates came as soon as they wanted, and Konoha was simply like being undefended, which made these high-ranking people in the village feel ashamed.

Tsunade's face was even more ugly, she could guess why this was happening, if it was the original, she would have gone crazy a long time ago, but now being the Hokage for a while has made her understand that the village is far from being as calm as it seems on the surface, and under the calm surface is a turbulent undercurrent, and there is no way to solve these problems by simply being furious.

"What's next?"

"Strengthen the vigilance of the village...... Also, that Uchiha child, do you want to strengthen protection?"

"What are you kidding? to use your precious power to protect a shinobi? even if his surname is Uchiha, it's impossible. ”

Several high-ranking officials disagreed with the focus on protecting Sasuke Uchiha, and in fact, it was unlikely that any village would approve of such a decision.

Whatever the reason, it doesn't make sense to use elite combat power to protect the Shinobi in the village.

"You can hand over Sasuke Uchiha to me. ”

Danzou, who had been quiet, finally spoke, and as soon as he spoke, everyone's attention was drawn to him.

"Over to you?"

The two advisors, Koharu and Mito Menyan, suddenly remained silent, and from their reactions, it was clear that these two must know something.

And the three generations of apes on the side, Fei Ri Chop, also thought of something, and frowned.

"Tuanzang, you don't want to ......"

"Konoha needs roots!"

Except for Ethan and Shizune, everyone present knew what the so-called 'root' was, even if Tsunade had a comprehensive understanding of Konoha during this time, he also knew what kind of existence the so-called root was.

On the surface, it was a training institution for the dark department, but under the hands of Danzang, Gen had long since developed into a completely separate department, specializing in performing some shady tasks.

In this regard, Danzo's reasoning is: someone is always needed to shoulder the darkness of the village!

However, in fact, it was the root that became Danzo's private army, and this department was not controlled by the Hokage, and was completely under the orders of Danzo himself, and even assassinated three generations of Hokage.

After the Uchiha extermination incident, Root was ordered to disband by the third generation, but those ninjas who were absolutely loyal to Danzang did not really disperse, and many people remained under Danzang, still only obeying Danzang's orders, and became Danzang's private force.

Some of these things are known to Tsunade, some are not, but Ethan knows them all.

As for Danzou wanting to get Uchiha Sasuke, the reason is similar to Orochimaru, it's just that he likes the bloodline of the Uchiha family.

By the way, maybe he also wanted to use this to justifiably rebuild the roots, which were still in a state of dissolution, and it was later that Danzo reorganized the roots, perhaps with the support of those two advisors.

And now, the relaxation of Konoha vigilance, and the easy invasion of others seem to give him a suitable reason?

"Konoha doesn't need that kind of thing. ”

Tsunade rejected Danzo's proposal with almost no hesitation, including handing over the Uchiha to him, and even ignored the suggestion outright.

Because in her opinion, Tuan Zang is not trustworthy at all!

Danzou was not surprised by Tsunade's refusal, but he didn't care at all, instead he looked at the two advisors a few more times, and these two advisors were indeed on Danzo's side, as if trying to convince 'Hokage-sama, rebuild the roots!'.

"It's funny, it turns out that the person who made the decision in Konoha Village was not the Hokage, but the two advisors. ”

Just when the two old advisors were chattering endlessly, the words suddenly came from the side and made the two of them suddenly stagnate.

It's a bit harsh, maybe they really think so in their hearts, but it's another thing to say it.

These were not the only ones present, but there were also several shinobi including Nara Shikahisa, who were all looking at the two advisors now, and they suddenly realized that this topic could not continue today.

At this time, the three generations, who had always been silent, finally spoke, gave the two advisors some rounds, and naturally ended the topic.

But no matter how tactful it was, the emotions of everyone present were affected, and the matter would definitely not be able to be discussed, except for strengthening the vigilance around Konoha to prevent any more intruders, nothing else was discussed.

Danzang and the two advisors left decisively, and the ninjas should also work overtime, resting when they should rest, and in the end, only Ethan, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the three generations were left.

Ethan looked left and right, and this level of conversation didn't seem to have anything to do with it, so he was ready to leave.

"Wait!"

It's a pity that his wishful thinking didn't start, and he was stopped before he could take a step.

"What else is told?"

Tsunade bit his lip and seemed to be entangled, but finally shook his head: "Forget it, you go back!"

Ethan looked at Tsunade's expression, obviously holding back the fire, could it be that he remembered his original promise and wanted to let himself fulfill it: "Hokage-sama wants me to kill Danzo?"

"Ethan!"

Jiraiya and Tsunade don't forget it, Sarutobi didn't expect Ethan to say this, he almost choked on the smoke, and what shocked him even more was that Tsunade was still there frowning and thinking: You don't really want to kill Tuanzang, do you?

"Forget it. ”

Ethan didn't rush to leave this time, he didn't expect Tsunade to really think about killing Danzo.

The reason? It's not that Danzo's behavior is close to provocation, but Tsunade has already thought that there have been repeated problems with the defense of Konoha Village, and Danzang is the most suspicious!

"There is no evidence at the moment, and it is not good to be reckless...... Moreover, there are too many enemies outside Konoha at the moment......"

Tsunade's idea is just to search for evidence of the group's collection, and then justifiably get rid of the group's collection.

It seems that only the first generation of Hokage has done things more aggressively, what he wants, and the rest are more straightforward, and he will not directly use force because of who is the most suspicious.

Including the second-generation Hokage Senjuma, who was the most defensive of the Uchiha family, he also first determined the true thoughts of the Uchiha people at present, and after confirming that they did not have any 'different hearts' at present, he also accepted the people of the Uchiha family as disciples to teach him personally.

Ethan glanced at the three generations next to him whose brows were almost twisted together, and he suddenly left in no hurry.

"There's a lot of evidence......"

"What?"

Tsunade and Jiraiya raised their hands to look at Ethan, Danzo has been hiding in the dark, doing I don't know how many things, but rarely leaving flaws, although Tsunade knows that this thing is not a good thing, but he has never really done anything to him, just because there is not enough evidence.

But Ethan said that there is a lot of evidence?

"Kill to the base of the root, the evidence is everywhere, and you can arrange whatever crime you want. ”

“......”

Jiraiya covered his face, and a tic-tac-toe appeared on Tsunade's forehead, which was not difficult to understand, but it was completely reversed from what they wanted: she wanted enough evidence to do something to Tuanzang, and Ethan did it directly and then found evidence. If enough and serious evidence is found, it's fine, but if nothing is found, how can he, as the Hokage, explain to the village?

"Confess, what do you want to explain? How can the entire Uchiha clan be confessed when they are dead, and this time I will explain it. ”

The three generations who said this sentence were particularly heart-wrenching, and they swallowed all the words they wanted to say and sat there quietly.

The office became silent again, perhaps to break the awkward atmosphere, and Jiraiya offered to take Naruto out to practice.

He had already seen that there was no safety or peace in the village now, and Naruto would still be distracted by miscellaneous things if he continued to stay in the village, so maybe it would be a good choice to take him out on a trip and practice by the way.

Tsunade has no objection to Jiraiya's proposal, and no one in Konoha Village will object to Jiraiya's prestige.

Naruto's practice was settled, and after hesitating for a moment, Tsunade suddenly asked Ethan a question.

"Since Orochimaru has repeatedly sent people to invade Konoha, does it mean that he has a secret lair near Konoha?"

Of course, this possibility exists, maybe it's in the Fire Country, and even if it's not in the surrounding area of the Fire Country, it's probably not too far away.

"Ethan, I decided to let you lead a team on a long-term mission to make sure there are no Great Orochimaru lairs around Konoha . ”

"Did you throw me out of the village?"

"Yes, I'm worried that you're quietly making a big fuss. ”

"How can it be quiet? I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun. ”

"Is that something to be proud of?"

Listening to the conversation between these two people, the third generation always felt that he might know a fake Ethan, and this kid's personality seemed to be a little different from before.

In fact, Ethan couldn't act a little anymore and began to reveal his true nature.
