Chapter 163: The Root is disbanded, and Danzo loses power (th update)

"It's not good to be too enthusiastic."

Arriving at the entrance of the Hokage building, Tsunade let out a breath and couldn't help but speak.

“This shows that teachers are popular among the public.”

Hanekawa had just been observing.

He found that in addition to ordinary villagers, there were ninjas from the Uchiha clan, Hyuga clan, Ino-Shika-Chou clan and other ninja clans participating.

If the Fire Country Daimyo is added, it can instantly become the Hokage succession ceremony.

"Freeze said."

Tsunade raised her hand and tapped him on the forehead.

What do you mean by popular choice? It sounds like she is going to be the Hokage soon.

She walked into the Hokage building.

"Tsunade-sama!"

The passing ninjas were just as excited to see her as the villagers before them.

Arriving at the Hokage's office, Tsunade kicked the door open without any hesitation.

This time, there is a bit of personal grudge involved.

After all, if it weren't for Sarutobi Hiruzen's appearance, she wouldn't have wasted these extra ten minutes.

"Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job this time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was already used to it, and said with a smile, "Especially since you killed Hanzo, you have eliminated a great threat to Konoha."

"Since you already know everything, there is no need for me to write a mission report."

Tsunade casually threw out a scroll and said, "Hanzo's body."

"clear."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't pick it up, letting it fall on the table, "Send it to the torture department."

"Yes."

The ANBU ninja at the door came in and took the scroll.

"This is the reward for this mission."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a passbook and said, "Of course, this little money is not enough. Please feel free to ask for anything you want."

"I don't want anything."

Tsunade took the passbook and said casually.

"I knew you would say that."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile and said, "I added an extra 10 million to the bankbook as your reward."

"This is acceptable."

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and agreed readily.

The reward for an S-level mission is often one million taels, and ten million taels is equivalent to the reward for ten S-level missions.

Besides, it’s free money, I can’t refuse it.

"What about the four of you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hanekawa, Might Day and the others and asked, "Ninja tools, ninjutsu or money are all fine."

"I do not need!"

Matt Day said excitedly.

His greatest wish in life is to realize his youth.

The grand welcome party just now had made him get what he wanted.

"From today on, you are a special jonin."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with great relief.

He really likes pure ninjas like Might Dai.

The will of fire was burning fiercely in his body.

It's just that...his personality is a bit difficult to maintain.

Xihihong fell into deep thought.

As a Chunin, the most important reward is Ninjutsu.

But through Tsunade, she has obtained the water-style ninjutsu of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

As for illusions, Yuhi Shinku has them.

"red."

Seeing this, Hanekawa leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

"I want the Dark Walk Technique."

Yuhi Kurenai's eyes lit up and she chose to believe Hanekawa.

"can."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse.

Kurenai Yuhi has already learned so many water jutsu techniques from the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, so it would be no big deal if she added a dark jutsu.

He just felt it was a little subtle.

By this calculation, Kurenai Yuhi became a student of the next generation of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

Hanekawa asked her to choose the Darkness Technique after careful consideration.

Although Konoha Village has many forbidden techniques, they are difficult to learn and have serious side effects, so they are not suitable for Yuhi Kurenai.

The Dark Walking Technique is different, it is an A-level illusion, and it is also the nemesis of the Sharingan.

Maybe in the future I can really restore the glory of ordinary illusion ninjas.

"I……"

Nohara Lin subconsciously looked at Hanekawa.

She was standing close and heard what he had just whispered to Xihihong.

As a medical ninja and with Tsunade as her teacher, she didn't know what to choose.

Hanekawa met her gaze and couldn't help but blink.

This was indeed asked of him.

With Nohara Rin's talent, just learning medical ninjutsu is enough.

The rest of the ninjutsu are really hard to choose.

Moreover, even if she learned it, how much could one ninjutsu improve her strength? If she were to kill the enemy at close range, she would probably get killed.

Hanekawa suddenly let out a light exclamation, and he thought of a long-range but very safe ninjutsu.

He lowered his head and whispered a few words in Nohara Lin's ear.

"Hokage-sama, I need the Spiritual Transformation Technique."

Although Nohara Lin didn't know what the spirit transformation technique was, she was sure that Hanekawa would not harm her.

"Spiritual transformation technique?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in surprise, "Hekawa, how do you know this ninjutsu?"

"Shizune told me."

Hanekawa said without changing his expression.

"No wonder."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Nohara Rin and said hesitantly, "This is an S-rank ninjutsu. Logically, you don't deserve enough credit."

Tsunade and Might Day took out Hanzo, and Hanekawa and Slug killed the Salamander.

Relatively speaking, Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin did nothing.

The Dark Walk Technique is an A-level ninjutsu. Although it is precious, it is still within the range that can be given.

However, the Spiritualization Technique is different. It is an S-level ninjutsu and a forbidden technique with great power.

"what?"

Nohara Lin was confused.

She didn't expect that Hanekawa would choose an S-level ninjutsu for her.

Can this really be learned?
"Old man."

Tsunade said at the right moment, "Remember me."

"alright."

Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated for a few seconds, but finally decided to agree.

Mainly because he suspected that if he didn't agree, Tsunade would cause a scene in the Hokage's office.

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows.

Does this work too?
If that was the case, he wouldn't have to consider which ninjutsu to choose.

Anyway, with Tsunade around, he can learn any ninjutsu he wants.

"Hokage-sama."

Hanekawa thought about this and said, "I come from an orphanage, so I don't need any ninjutsu. I just want to help the dean and the orphanage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately showed a surprised expression.

Tsunade also looked at Hanekawa with surprise.

"Can't you?"

Hanekawa scratched his head and asked.

"Of course."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and praised, "You are a good boy who knows how to repay kindness."

He was becoming more and more satisfied with Hanekawa.

Strength and talent are important, but character and personality are the foundation of a person.

"How do you want to help them?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to ask.

"I hope the director and the orphanage will no longer be controlled by others."

Hanekawa said meaningfully.

He knew Sarutobi Hiruzen could understand.

As the Hokage, he couldn't possibly be unaware that Yakushi Nono and the orphanage were under the orders of Shimura Danzo.

"I understand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly and said, "I'll tell Nono."

As for Danzo Shimura, he already had a solution and was just waiting for Tsunade to speak.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Hanekawa breathed a sigh of relief.

In the original work, Nono Yakushi and Kabuto Yakushi were sent by Danzo Shimura to be spies after the end of the Third Ninja World War.

Eventually, because they lost their effectiveness and knew too many secrets, they were set up to kill each other.

Now with Sarutobi Hiruzen's intervention, Danzo Shimura can no longer threaten Yakushi Nono, and her death can be avoided.

"And one more thing."

Mentioning Yakushi Nono, Tsunade thought of Shimura Danzo and said directly, "I found a Root ninja in the Land of Rain." "This is the body of a Root ninja."

Hanekawa immediately took out a scroll.

"I've heard Danzo talk about this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put away the scroll and said.

"how?"

Tsunade snorted and asked, "Did he admit to colluding with Hanzo?"

"He said that it was Hanzo who deceived the Root members and caused them to defect."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

"What nonsense!"

Tsunade became furious upon hearing this and slapped the Hokage's office.

"and many more!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly, but it was too late.

He quickly picked up the documents on the table to rescue them.

There was a click.

The Hokage's desk cracked in the middle.

Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Lin looked at each other, both dumbfounded.

As expected of Teacher Tsunade, she actually dared to slam the table in front of the Hokage.

Hanekawa suddenly looked strange.

The Hokage's desk broke, and many documents and books rolled out.

He found two familiar books, the Iron Witch novel and comic by Lei Huojian.

You are so disrespectful to the elderly!
But if you think about it, it's not surprising.

Jiraiya learned everything from Sarutobi Hiruzen, especially the telescope technique.

In fact, we can get a glimpse of this from Asuma Sarutobi.

When he was born, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already over forty years old.

It can be said that he becomes stronger with age!

"I didn't say I believed him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said while holding the documents with a look of heartache on his face.

"Didn't you tell me earlier?"

Tsunade coughed lightly, retracted her fist, and asked, "What are you going to do with him?"

"clear."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer directly, but shouted towards the door.

"Hokage-sama."

Qing walked in.

"Clean up this place and notify Danzo to come over."

Sarutobi Hiruzen handed her the documents in his arms and said.

"Yes."

Haru waved his hand and instantly four ANBU ninja appeared.

They quickly moved the Hokage's desk and files away, leaving behind an empty Hokage's office.

"Hanekawa, you guys go down first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and said.

After all, Danzo Shimura is a high-ranking official in Konoha Village, so we have to give him some face.

"Hanekawa stays."

Tsunade spoke up.

"also."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at her and said.

He could guess a little about Tsunade's thoughts, which were nothing more than paving the way for Hanekawa.

But Hanekawa is indeed qualified, so it's okay to make an exception for him.

"Leave this matter to me, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried that Tsunade would have a quarrel with Shimura Danzo, which would be difficult to resolve.

"It better be this way."

Tsunade pouted and said.

Shortly after Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai left, Shimura Danzo slowly walked in.

He had expected this, and wasn't surprised when he saw Tsunade.

"Danzo, do you know your mistake?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him and asked directly.

"What mistake did I make?"

Shimura Danzo said calmly, "If you are talking about the Rain Country, I explained it yesterday. It was their private action."

"You can lie to yourself, but don't lie to us."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and reminded, "Hanzo's body has been handed over to the torture department."

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo's expression froze.

In the ninja world, the corpses of ninjas can speak.

The Yamanaka clan will definitely be able to find out about their meeting by interrogating Hanzo's corpse.

"I have indeed worked with Hanzo before."

Seeing this, Shimura Danzo admitted, "But everything I did was for Konoha!"

"There's no need to say that again."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice, "Hanzo is the enemy of Konoha Village. You are helping him and violating the rules of Konoha Village."

"I..."

Danzo Shimura subconsciously wanted to make an excuse, but suddenly he met Sarutobi Hiruzen's cold eyes, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"From today on, the root will be disbanded, and you will go home and reflect on your mistakes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said firmly.

"No! Hiruzen, you can't do this to me!"

Shimura Danzo couldn't help but widen his eyes and said loudly, "I have made contributions to Konoha, and I have shed blood for Konoha!"

As a high-ranking official in Konoha, his greatest source of power is the Root.

It is because of the roots that he can do all kinds of things.

If the roots are eliminated, his power will be cut in half.

From now on, he will be similar to Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, with only influence but no real power.

“There is no room for negotiation on this matter.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said unmoved.

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

Shimura Danzo was angry and afraid, and said angrily.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and said.

Although he had a short body, he exuded a terrifying aura.

They're back! They're all back! The ninja hero that Shimura Danzo is familiar with is back!

He couldn't help but take a step back, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he didn't dare to say anything and turned and left.

"Tsunade, this matter ends here."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade and said in a gentle tone, "Danzo has done a lot for Konoha Village after all."

"alright."

Tsunade didn't say anything else.

In fact, this treatment has reached the limit for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, there was no way he could have really killed Danzo Shimura.

Although they were not killed, disbanding the roots can be considered a heavy blow.

"gone."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Remember to send the Darkness Walking Technique and the Spiritualization Technique over."

Hanekawa said hello and followed her away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the chair and sighed.

If no one knew about this, he could turn a blind eye.

But it happened to be Tsunade.

If he doesn't give her an explanation, she will definitely not be satisfied. When it becomes known to everyone, it will be a scandal for him as the Hokage.

"This guy has it all his own way!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted and said.

The reason he made this decision, besides because of Tsunade, was also because he was really dissatisfied and wanted to teach Danzo Shimura a lesson.

"Go call Nono."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said after a long silence.

"Yes."

Qing's voice sounded outside the door.

In less than ten minutes, Pharmacist Nono rushed to the Hokage's office from Konoha Hospital.

"The Root has been disbanded. From now on, you will focus on being in charge of Konoha Hospital."

Sarutobi Hiruzen got straight to the point and said, "You don't have to worry about Danzo anymore."

"what?"

Yakushi Nono was completely stunned.

"This is Hanekawa's request."

Sarutobi Hiruzen added.

Hanekawa?

Yakushi Nono gradually came to his senses.

She thought of the recent rumors about Hanzo's death, and the fact that Tsunade and Hanekawa had just arrived in the village today.

What a good boy.

Yakushi Nono felt warm in his heart and a smile appeared on his face.
