Minato and his team are also trying hard to find the murderer who killed the Uchiha clan, but there is no clue at all, which makes Minato more certain that it is Danzo's people. Because apart from the ninjas of the root, almost all the ninjas in Konohagakure who are proficient in Lightning Release have been investigated.
There has been no good result from Kakashi's side. Since Kakashi has been monitoring the other party, Danzo has been in the root and has not left, and no outsiders have entered the root.
There is also no result on Fugaku's side. Almost all the clansmen have been questioned by Fugaku, but the result is still unsatisfactory.
"Minato, it's not good. I don't know who leaked this matter. Now almost everyone in the village knows that someone was killed by the Uchiha clan. On the Uchiha side, the news of their clan being killed has also been spread."
Nara Shikaku rushed in and said.
"It seems that the situation is getting worse and worse."
Minato knew there would be such a day, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. In just three days, the whole village of Konohagakure knew about it.
At this time, all the villagers who saw the Uchiha clan were already glaring at each other, and the Uchiha clan would not hesitate to stare back. Even more fiery-tempered people might start directly.
In the past, the Uchiha clan was suppressed by Fugaku and had become much more obedient, but this incident has completely become the fuse to ignite both sides.
Now the Anbu has long been hidden in the streets of Konohagakure. Anyone who finds troublemakers, whether they are from the Uchiha clan or other families, will be arrested.
The Konohagakure Guard Department has now been withdrawn by Minato, and the main maintenance of the village order now relies on Minato's Anbu.
"Minato, I request that the task of maintaining the safety of Konohagakure be handed over to my root for handling. Recently, the Uchiha clan has been too rampant, and they must be shown some color."
When Danzo learned that Minato had withdrawn the duties of the Uchiha Guard Team, he immediately came to Minato and said.
"The work of the guard team does not need to bother Elder Danzo. After all, Elder Danzo's root is also very busy. I can't bear it to let Elder Danzo bear the pressure of the guard team"
Hearing Minato's sarcasm, Danzo's mouth twitched slightly.
"It's okay, for Konohagakure, a little bit of hardship is nothing."
Hearing Danzo say this, Minato's eyes also twitched. He didn't expect Danzo to be so shameless. He had clearly expressed such a clear refusal, but Danzo was so thick-skinned.
"No need, Anbu will handle the affairs of the guard team. Kakashi will handle it well."
This time, Minato directly said the words of refusal.
"Minato, Anbu is responsible for guarding the Hokage. How can Anbu leave the Hokage?"
"Elder Danzo, do you thinks I need someone else's protection? In the entire ninja world, how many people can be my opponents?"
At this time, Danzo was very upset in his heart. Minato, who has Senjutsu and Flying Thunder God Jutsu, even if he can't beat him, he thinks he can escape. Even though Danzo doesn't like Minato, he still recognizes Minato's strength. The person who wants to push Minato into a desperate situation may not exist in the entire ninja world.
"And Elder Danzo seems to have forgotten what the duty of the root is. Is it really good to appear on the surface of the village so openly?"
"Well, I won't participate in the affairs of the guard team, but I hope you can hand over the Uchiha clan land to me for management."
Seeing that the guard team's affairs were hopeless, Danzo spoke again, perhaps monitoring the Uchiha clan was his main purpose this time.
"It's not a bother at all for Elder Danzo. I have already handed over the surveillance of the Uchiha clan to the Hyuga clan. Given the relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan, they will surely complete this task with all their heart and soul."
As soon as these words came out, Danzo clenched his fist directly.
"So what should my root do?"
Danzo asked through gritted teeth.
"Elder Danzo, I hope you can thoroughly investigate your root from the inside out. After all, now only the ninjas of the root have not been investigated by me."
Minato crossed his hands, rested them on his chin, and calmly looked at Danzo and said.
"Do you suspect that this was done by me?"
Danzo directly asked angrily.
"I have good reason to suspect you"
Hearing Minato's counter-question, Danzo thought for a while, and didn't know whether he didn't want to argue or was guilty, so he left directly.
"Unreasonable."
Before leaving, Danzo also said such a sentence to Minato.
"I'm really angry."
After leaving the Hokage office, Danzo still complained to himself.
"Are you angry again, Danzo?"
After Danzo left, a voice rang directly in Danzo's ear. This person was one of the elders of Konohagakure, Utatane Koharu.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
Seeing this old woman, Danzo said with a bad tone. Although the two were once teammates, now Danzo is like eating gunpowder, and he is not pleasing to anyone.
"Of course not, but it's normal to suspect you first when such a thing happens."
Hearing this, Danzo was also a bit helpless, but he was really wronged this time. This incident was really not done by him.
"Haven't you ever thought about pulling Minato down from the position of Hokage?"
Then, Utatane Koharu said another sentence. Hearing this sentence, Danzo looked at the other party in surprise.
"Did you do this?"
Originally, Danzo was also very curious about who did this. He had doubts about the third and the least likely fourth generations, but he did not suspect Utatane Koharu, who was also an elder.
Utatane Koharu smiled mysteriously at the corner of her mouth, but did not answer, but this smile was equivalent to telling Danzo the answer.
"What is your purpose in doing this?"
Danzo asked with a frown.
"Even if you pull Minato down from the position of Hokage, it won't do you any good. Neither you nor your clan have the qualifications to be Hokage."
Danzo also spoke bluntly. Utatane Koharu's strength is just an ordinary Jonin, and her clansmen do not have too outstanding ninjas. Even if Minato is pulled down from the position of Hokage, the benefits will only be for others.
"No, of course I have benefits. I can regain the rights and status I had before."
Utatane Koharu said with a slightly crazy look on her face.
Danzo also looked at the other party with a serious face. He knew that since Minato took office, it seemed that he was about to hold all the rights in his hands, or give them to his own people.
Like Utatane Koharu, the old part of the Third Hokage is about to be eliminated, but Danzo did not expect that the other party would do such a crazy thing for the rights in their hands.
