In the Hokage's office.
Homura was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Yuki.
"Everyone, let's not talk about the evidence. The Ninjas naturally could judge things. There are some things that people with a little brain are well aware of, but they don't want to expose them for the sake of Konoha. That's fine, but there must be punishment! If the assassination of the Hokage is a serious crime, how will the others view the Hokage in the future? Where is the prestige of the Hokage? Where is the prestige of Konoha?"
The harsh words came from Yuki's mouth, showing his determination to show no mercy.
Homura and Koharu sighed deeply, feeling helpless.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Danzo for being too ruthless in this matter.
Yuki didn't waste any more time on this matter. He quickly sent the guest off: "If the two elders have nothing else to say, then forgive me for only meeting you here. Right now, I still have a lot of things to deal with here. Especially the many matters that I have to deal with in the Land of Fire. Time is tight, so I can't delay any longer."
Homura couldn't say anything else. Seeing that Yuki was determined, he knew that his trip was going to end in vain. He could only stand up and say goodbye: "The fourth-generation head will be busy with his own things. In the end, I also want to remind the fourth-generation head that although the young people in Konoha have grown up, they can't forget the great contributions the seniors have made to the village. Danzo is far greater than Konoha in the end."
After saying that, he turned around and left with Koharu, who had been silent the whole time.
It was not until the two of them left that Yuki raised his head again, looking at the closed door with a disdainful smile.
So what if the merit was greater than the merit, but could it offset the crime of the assassination of the Hokage?
This group of old guys had been high and mighty for too long, treating Konoha as their own.
As for the others, they didn't put them in the same position as him.
Even if he was the Hokage, he was only a junior in their eyes.
The younger generation should respect and follow the senior.
Because the latter was the biggest contributor to Konoha.
Therefore, the matter of the senior killing the younger generation was only because of the senior's selfishness.
Admit your mistake, apologize, and ensure you won't repeat it.
There's no need to keep investigating.
After all, this is a great contributor to Konoha's shedding blood and tears!
This was the meaning that was revealed between the lines.
Even when the two of them came together to plead, it was also because of this thought that they did not think that there was anything wrong with it.
It was no wonder that Choji Akimichi, who was from the same sect, had rarely heard of contacting these two people. It was also no wonder that Hiruzen Sarutobi rarely joined in with them.
In the end, the latter was more sensible and understood right and wrong.
These two people took up the second-generation Hokage, and they had lived for so many years before becoming a member of Konoha's consultant team.
In terms of ability, Hiruzen and Danzo could be compared with them.
Fortunately, the former had put down everything and enjoyed retirement, while Yuki imprisoned the latter.
The remaining two were weak and were not in the eyes of the current powerful Yuki.
Naturally, he could refute without mercy.
If he wasn't worried that things would get out of hand, he would have killed Danzo directly.
However, if he killed an elder of the Ninja Village Consultant without sufficient evidence, this had never happened in the history of the entire Five Great Ninja Village.
Yuki, who was in the political chess game, couldn't take the lead to flip the table regardless of anything.
After all, he was not a barefoot man who was not afraid of wearing shoes.
In a high position of the Hokage, sometimes he could not be controlled by his temper.
Even if he had great power, he could not recklessly overturn everything.
Just like a country, you were a high and mighty king, but if you did not treat the officials in your hands as people and caused the latter to resign, then no matter how powerful you were, you would not be able to leave the palace.
Maintaining the system and rules between people was very important.
Even someone as powerful as Hashirama Senju had to rely on many people to maintain the operation of Konoha.
It was even more so for Yuki.
Therefore, even if people with discerning eyes knew that they had the ability and the means to assassinate the Hokage, it was most likely Danzo. However, without conclusive evidence, they still could not kill him.
Especially as a consultant for Konoha, Danzo even had a long time as a Hokage, and his real influence was not limited to Root.
In the Ninja Clan, the Functional Department, the vast Ninja, and so on, especially the Warrior Faction, many were inclined to him.
Yuki was able to imprison and temporarily remove Root because he had a great reputation for Wood Release, as well as understanding the anger of escaping from the Li-Four Symbols Seal, so it was not a big deal.
But now, if he really wanted to show the idea of killing Danzo, he could imagine that dissuasion from all directions would come.
Of course, he could act willfully, but it was difficult to make up for the cracks he caused.
This was undoubtedly a loss for Yuki.
In addition, just like what he had said to Danzo before, the tiger had its claws removed and was locked in a cage for a tour. For the former king of the mountains, it was also a more humiliating punishment than directly killing him.
Yuki had already been imprisoned for this tiger, so now it was time to cut off all his claws and teeth.
Yuki clapped his hands.
Soon, a high-ranking member of the Dark Group wearing a beige uniform and a mask appeared in front of him.
"Have you finished counting Root Ninjas?" Yuki asked.
The higher-ups of the Dark Group replied, "Reporting to Lord Hokage, the members of Root have all been gathered and counted by the Dark Group."
"In that case, we will take them out and form a team to carry out the most dangerous mission," Yuki said coldly.
From the beginning, he never thought about taking in Root, and he knew that this was impossible.
The reason why he first joined the Dark Group was more to fully understand and grasp the information of Root.
After that, it was time for these people to sacrifice everything for Konoha.
Since Root was the sword of Konoha in the dark, these people gave up all their emotions for Konoha after joining Root, completely taking the task first.
In that case, wouldn't it be a pity if such a sharp blade was used to deal with his own people or destroy them?
Currently, the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, the borders of the Land of Water, were in constant chaos, and there were many missions.
It was a good time to send these people to support them.
Even if they died in battle, it would be a matter of no regrets for them.
In short, for the time bomb at Root, Yuki used a sharp blade.
This way, it could fight for benefits for Konoha and constantly weaken the power until it completely destroyed Danzo.
The struggle for power was so cruel.
For these Root Ninjas that were deeply branded with Danzo, Yuki did not treat them as traitors but told them about the aftermath of Konoha's hero. It could be said that they were benevolent and righteous.
Of course, Root might still be like the Four Symbols Team, hiding deeply and not recording the existence of the fish that escaped the net.
But in the current situation where funds, logistics, intelligence, and so on no longer existed, the so-called fish that escaped the net would not be able to make a splash.
Even if they wanted to contact Danzo again, they would only be walking into the trap in the end under the obstruction of the solid cage.
Regarding cutting off Danzo's claws and teeth, Yuki's determination and ability to act were firm.
