Chapter 139: To Each His Own
After that, the meeting voted on the punishment of Tuanzang.
It's just that this time, the three of Ape Fei Ri Chop, Zhuan Koharu and Mito Menyan finally got back a little scene.
They vetoed Uchiha Shichiha's proposal to execute Danzo, and did their best to save Danzo's life.
The reason was also recognized by most of the shinobi present - the execution of the elders of their own village would make Konoha a laughing stock in the ninja world;
And more importantly: Danzou still has a large number of root spies in his hands, these people are now scattered all over the ninja world, and once the news of Danzang's public execution spreads, it is difficult to guarantee that those spies outside the village will not defect on the spot.
On this issue, Hinata Inaba did not make a strong confrontation.
He guessed that this was the bottom line of the three old things, and the other party would not retreat on this line.
But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living sin cannot be escaped!
Although people don't have to die, there is no suspense that the title of elder of Tuanzang was taken off on the spot, and all power was deprived, and he would not be given any chance to be reinstated, and he would be grounded at home for life from now on!
These punishments were quickly voted on.
And after that, the highlight of the fight between the two sides is finally here again!
At the same time, this is also the most touching topic of this Shangnin meeting!
That's the discussion about the follow-up treatment plan for the roots!
Ape Feiri slashed the three of them on the surface of teammates, and they couldn't bear to die in Tuanzang, but in fact, what they really cared about most was never Tuanzang, but the roots!
Hinata Inaba first proposed to disband the roots, force Danzo to hand over the curse of the seal of the root of the tongue, and dismiss all the root members who are now in the village.
But Ape Fei Ri Slash immediately stood up and expressed strong opposition!
They could never agree to lift the seal of the tongue of all people!
That way, once someone pries open the mouths or brains of these root ninjas, a lot of the pickled things that their F4 alliance has done over the past so many years will be exposed!
The proposal to disband the root was forcibly rejected, and Sarutobi even did not hesitate to take out the little Hokage authority he had left, and rejected all similar proposals very strongly!
And propose to replace the group by himself, and take the helm of the roots!
Hinata Inaba saw that this line of defense was destined to be unbreakable, so he decisively gave up and turned to attack other ways.
This was followed by a proposal to limit root power across the board; depriving the roots of all law enforcement rights in the village; It only retains its responsibility to collect information on the ninja world externally; And cancel the privilege of pulling people at will at the root and other requirements.
These proposals were immediately unanimously praised by all the Shangnin, almost unanimously adopted, and the speed of light was finalized.
The ape was helpless, so he had to admit it.
After that, Hinata Inaba continued the pursuit, and proposed to allow the root members to retire freely and return to their original family.
This was also unanimously supported by the many ninjas present, especially the patriarchs of the major ninja clans, who couldn't wait to raise their hands in favor!
However, the three of Sarutobi Hiza, Koharu and Mito Menyan were very resolute in their unexpected resistance this time, and they stuck to the bottom line that active root members were not allowed to retire easily, and would never agree to let go of this group of ninjas who knew their details.
In the end, it was only agreed that new Root members in the future would be free to retire, and active members would have to serve for at least another twenty years!
However, in exchange, Ape Fei Ri gave up A, a special child.
Like the original book, A was reassigned to the Shadows after this incident, and from now on he will become Kakashi's subordinate and junior.
In the end, the two sides barely reached a tie in this round of fighting.
All of them have their own gains, but none of them have done their best.
Sarutobi saved the life of the group, retained the general structure of the roots, the existing members, and most importantly, the seal of the root of the tongue!
Hinata, on the other hand, was exchanged for a total restriction on the roots, depriving the organization of all the privileges that had been able to show off its might in the village in the past, and by the way, he got a giveaway.
Considering his feelings, he simply gave A the name Yamato, and the dark part was codenamed Tianzang in the future.
At this point, a bloodless but still fierce battle against Mai Mang has finally come to an end.
After the meeting, many of the shinobi went back to their homes again.
And the news of the abdication of a certain elder and the change of authority of the root also quickly spread through the streets of Konoha!
The matter of human experiments was tacitly chosen not to be made public, but a few people silently visited the families of those who disappeared, made up some lies to appease the villagers, sent some compensation, and chatted with comfort.
And among them, Hinata Inaba was surprised to see the figure of the little red bean.
This made him a little surprised, a little stunned, and a little guilty.
It's only been a little over a week since they last met, but Little Red Bean has changed a lot!
Now she and the energetic, cute girl she used to be are like two people.
Hinata Inaba almost didn't even recognize her at first sight.
A second of staring quickly made Red Bean notice him too.
"Inaba? Oh, long time no see. ”
Red Bean greeted as usual, but the smile on his face was gone.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, you've lost a lot of weight, what's wrong? Don't have money for sweets? Do you want me to treat you to three-color dumplings? ”
Hinata Inaba tries to make jokes like she used to do, amusing her with Azuki's favorite dessert.
But this time, Hongdou didn't smile or look forward to it, and her eyes were calm and not at all like a little girl in her early teens......
Suffering is always the best catalyst for growth.
For Hongdou, the past week may have been the most unforgettable week of her life.
She shook her head lightly and said, "No, I ...... Quit sweets, I have enough money for the time being, and when I go to the villager's house to deliver something, let's have a meal together, I want to go and eat Ichiraku ramen. ”
Little Azuki's face now has a ripeness and sadness that Hinata-Inaba feels unfamiliar.
At that moment, Hinata Inaba was suddenly a little speechless, and she didn't know how to comfort this little girl who fell from heaven to mortal dust overnight, so she could only nod her head and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
Soon after, the two arrived at a ramen shop.
Business is still the same as usual, business is neither good nor bad, and the tables in front of the carts are full, but after all, they are not as good as the big shops with spacious fronts.
But Hongdou didn't want to go to those luxurious stores at the moment, she just wanted to come here for a bowl of ramen.
After the noodles came up, Xiao Hongdou suddenly said, "I remember that a few months ago, when you just came back from the front line, I also met you here, and I heard you say that Bo Feng Shuimen also likes to eat this ramen." ”
Hinata Inaba silently cooperated with her and confided, "Hmm. ”
"What a coincidence, my teacher used to like this ramen too."
"Really......"
"Inaba ......"
"Huh?"
"Not long ago, Ba Du told me the content of the Shangnin meeting."
“…… I know that the villagers you went to deliver your things were all family members of the victims of the Orochimaru experiment, and as soon as I saw you around there, I naturally guessed it. ”
"Hehe, that's right, you're so smart, it's not surprising that you know everything......"
“……”
"So...... So ......" said the girl, facing the night's signature ramen in front of her, and suddenly couldn't stop crying.
"So you smart guys, why don't you always tell me anything?! Why!! Why leave me!! ”
“……”
"I didn't know until today that the teacher was not a good person in the eyes of most people! But Inaba, you must have known about it for a long time, right?! You're so smart! But why do you ...... Why...... Don't tell me anything?! ”
At that moment, Hinata Inaba sat next to the girl, and suddenly she was a little overwhelmed.
It's hard to imagine that even when he fought against Sarutobi at the Shangnin Conference not long ago, he was never as at a loss as he is now......
