Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: Punishment

"Regardless of the purpose, betraying one's own people is wrong, and what Danzo did this time is undoubtedly adding to the harm of Lord Mito and the Senju clan, and must be severely punished."

Waiting for the Aburame Ryoma to finish speaking, Uchiha Homura was the first to come forward to accuse Danzo of his crimes.

The vein of this matter was already clear tonight, Danzo's downfall was certain, all he had to do now was to fall on his sword as much as possible, so that Danzo would never be able to recover.

"That's right, although Danzo did this in order to lure out Ebizo, but by betraying his companions to achieve his goal this method is absolutely not desirable, if we continue to let him go on like this, in the future, it will surely trigger an even greater crisis for Konoha."

Hyuga Kazuma concurred.

The policy that the Hyuga clan practiced in the village nowadays was to keep a low profile, to follow through on maintaining a neutral attitude, and to absolutely not intervene in either camp.

However, what Danzo had done this time was undoubtedly digging up the roots of the Shinobi clan, seriously hurting the interests of the Shinobi clan.

Moreover, he was so bold that he dug up the root of the Senju clan.

Such a bold and unruly person, Hyuga Kazuma really dared not let him continue to serve as the head of the Root Division as well as the advisor to the Hokage and these important positions, who knows that he will use the same method to dig up the roots of the Hyuga clan again someday.

If he continues to remain neutral now, if something happens to the Hyuga clan in the future, I don't think anyone else will come to the aid of the Hyuga clan.

The two major ninja clan patriarchs had already taken a stance, and together with the Senju clan that was the victim, the three major ninja clans of Konoha had once again coincidentally chosen to join forces.

The two of them, Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu, came from the Lesser Ninja Clan and were essentially in the same camp as the Three Great Ninja Clans, and now that they saw the Three Great Ninja Clans joining forces once again, the two of them couldn't say anything else.

If it's just some minor things, for the sake of old comrades and being Hokage advisors, the two of them will help Danzo to make a big thing small, but this time they can't help. If they help, their positions are probably unstable.

Danzo has the Root and Shimura clans. Apart from their own strength, the ninja clans behind them can't give them much support.

The reason why they can become a Hokage advisor, to a large extent, all rely on the Sandaime care and the Nodaime's disciple identity.

As for the contribution to the village, Senju, Uchiha and Hyuga that one is not more than them ah.

In the past, the three clans did not compete for the position of hokage advisor, that is not to see.

But now it is different. In order to check and balance the ninja clan, the Sandaime chose to delegate power, so that this position can influence the Hokage and enter the decision-making level of the village. The three clans have been jealous for a long time.

In order to keep their positions, the two could only go with the flow, nodding their heads in agreement one after another.

The Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, and the two hokage advisors had all made their stance known, and now all that was left was Sandaime.

For a moment, all eyes fell on Sandaime.

"I have no objections, Danzo should indeed be severely punished, I have decided to dismiss Danzo from all positions with immediate effect."

Sandaime said righteously.

The others had agreed, what else could he do? Covering up for Danzo was no longer possible.

"Is it enough to dismiss him? He has done such unforgivable things as endangering Lord Mito and the Senju clan, I suggest that he be put to death."

Uchiha Homura said aggressively.

Danzo must die, that was the only thing he was thinking right now.

"Uchiha clan leader, you have overstated your words, Danzo has used the wrong method in this matter, but he has made a great contribution to Konoha, the Roots that he led also played a great role for Konoha on the battlefield in this Shinobi World War, all of these are evident to all, Danzo's crime is not punishable by death."

Homura Mitokado was the first to stand out and object.

Danzo had gone too far this time and should indeed be punished, but execution would be too much.

Not to mention the merits of Danzo, Danzo was the leader of the Root Division, if he died, it would be difficult for the Root Division to function properly, and at that time, the Root Division might not only not be able to provide help to Konoha, but instead, it would hurt Konoha.

After all, the ninjas that the Root Division housed were all Hawk factions, and in the entire Konoha, only Tuanzou was currently able to command them.

Moreover, if Danzo died, wouldn't that be a loss of an important force to check and balance the Uchiha clan.

Teacher's teaching, Homura Mitokado likewise dare not forget, the Uchiha clan is a ninja clan that needs to be vigilant, and now that the Senju have already declined, he never wants to see the Uchiha clan rise in the village.

Danzo, even though he was a million times worse, Konoha now needed him to take the lead in checking the Uchiha clan.

Utatane Koharu felt the same way.

Waiting for Homura Mitokado to finish, she also immediately took a stance, "That's right, Danzo personally is still one of the few Kage-level powerhouses in the village, and right now during the time of war, executing him will only weaken Konoha's strength and make the other ninja villages happy and look at us as a joke, instead of executing him, it would be better to send him to the battlefield to take the blame and make a contribution."

"These two old assholes are really in league with Danzo."

Uchiha Homura cursed as he heard the two men's words, then turned his gaze toward Hyuga Kazuma.

Hinata Kazuma looked up at the sky, as if there was something very interesting about the ceiling that made him hesitate to shift his gaze elsewhere.

"What do you think, Mito-sama, you should know what kind of person Danzo is."

Uchiha Homura cursed the waste when he saw that Hyuga Kazuma continued to choose to remain neutral again, then looked to Mito to give her an eyeful.

Sandaime, Homura Mitokado, and Utatane Koharu cried out in darkness and looked at Mito nervously.

The three of them were equally well aware of what Danzo was like, and if they survived this time, they would definitely retaliate in the future.

Now that Mito was still alive, Danzo wouldn't dare to do anything to the Senju clan, but the problem was that Mito wasn't expected to live for a few more years, and if she died, she'd leave the Senju clan and Tsunade with a huge problem in the future.

"It is true that Danzo has done a lot for the village and his crime is not worthy of death, but given that the crime he has committed is too serious, I suggest that in addition to dismissing him from all his positions, he should also be permanently imprisoned and permanently stripped of all his political rights."

Mito said the answer he had prepared long ago.

It was true that the village still needed to use Danzo now, but let him continue to live just fine, change from death penalty to life imprisonment, but trying to turn over again, she would never allow it.

With these words, Uchiha Homura's face immediately looked much better, although this result was still a bit different from his expectations, it was within the acceptable range.

Hyuga Kazuma secretly nodded his head, feeling that this result was very good.

Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu looked unhappy. Although Danzo didn't have to die, he was almost useless. There was no hope for him to turn things around in the future.

But since Danzo didn't have to die, they couldn't say anything more now.

Sandaime's expression was also not very good, but when he saw Mito looking over with incredibly serious eyes, he knew that it was impossible for Mito to give in again.

When he thought about it, it was already considered good that Danzo was actually able to stay alive.

Who let him provoke someone he absolutely couldn't offend this time, and he was also caught in the act.

Not everyone could afford to offend a dying Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

At least he couldn't afford to offend.

Sandaime sighed helplessly, "I think Lord Mito's suggestion is very good, let's do it."
