Chapter 76 Taking action against Danzo?!
Yuan Tuoye has been acting a little strange these past few days.
He could be recognized by the villagers as he walked on the roads of Konoha, and they would call him the Konoha hero who sealed the Nine-Tails.
He felt very upset about this.
He's clearly a low-key person with some social anxiety, so it's really a headache that he has to endure this kind of torment for no reason.
Moreover, he didn't actually like the title of hero, because in stories, heroes always die very quickly.
However, since others addressed him that way, he couldn't possibly respond coldly; he could only force himself to greet them.
He felt that if things continued like this, and Minato Namikaze really did die suddenly, then maybe he would actually have a chance to become the Fifth Hokage?
This kind of thing—really, no way! He would never take the busy Hokage position.
Even a genius like Minato Namikaze was tormented by the Hokage situation to such an extent that his strength is probably almost stagnant. Let whoever wants to be Hokage be it; he's definitely not going to.
Gen Takuno sighed. He was just thinking about it; the possibility of Minato Namikaze dying again was not high.
Given Minato Namikaze's current age, he can probably remain Hokage for a long time. The one who's most upset right now is probably Danzo Shimura.
Just as Takuno had suspected, Danzo Shimura, having learned the specific details of the Nine-Tails' rampage, was now enraged, his eyes filled with terrifying intensity.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!
That blond kid will die at the hands of the Nine-Tails, and then he'll have a chance to take the vacant Hokage position.
Now, that opportunity has completely disappeared.
He couldn't have imagined what other unexpected events could happen that would be able to kill Minato Namikaze like the Nine-Tails' rampage.
Given his age, he'll probably still be firmly in the position of Hokage when he dies!
"Takuno Minamoto!" Danzo Shimura muttered the name, his teeth itching with hatred. If it weren't for him, Danzo might already be the Hokage!
He even gave him a sealing technique, and this is how he treats him! What a damned bastard!
Danzo Shimura's eyes were extremely cold. This couldn't go on; he had to take action.
After thinking for a long time, he narrowed his eyes, looking like he was about to use the same method he used against Sakumo Hatake.
The Nine-Tails' rampage presents an opportunity. No matter how well the opponent performs, the damage the Nine-Tails has caused to Konoha is undeniable.
If this happened while the other party was serving as Hokage, we could certainly analyze the incident from the angle of its instigation.
For example, you could make the villagers think the other person is a jinx, or you could use the fact that the other person caused such great losses to Konoha to make them question the other person's abilities.
Although he knew that he couldn't defeat the other party with just this, he didn't believe that the other party would not make any mistakes afterward. As long as he continued like this, he would eventually have a chance!
After thinking it over, Shimura Danzo summoned the Root members and gave them instructions.
The ceremony for Minamoto Takuno's promotion to Jonin finally arrived on time.
The number of people that day was certainly not as many as when Minato Namikaze was the Fourth Hokage, but it was still considerable.
The.
In particular, all the members of the sealing team arrived, as did almost all the people who had been evacuated by the sealing team members and the dark forces.
When Gen Takuno stepped onto the platform, endless cheers erupted from below.
Yuan Tuoye felt a little hopeless. He didn't like this environment, but his strong willpower prevented him from showing any signs of discomfort.
He gave a standard, formulaic smile, then picked up the speech prepared for him by Minato Namikaze and began his eloquent speech.
Minato Namikaze, standing nearby, looked at Takuno Minamoto with some surprise. Wasn't he explaining it quite well? So why was his senior so averse to it?
The Third Hokage and the two advisors, listening to the cheers below, were quite satisfied with Minamoto no Takuno's performance.
"Finally, as a Jonin of Konoha, I will continue to do my best in the development of Konoha, and I ask for your continued support!"
Finally, Gen Takuno finished his last lines.
Cheers erupted once again from below, with shouts of "Hero of Konoha!" and "Hero who sealed the Nine-Tails!"
After greeting them, Yuan Tuoye quickly stepped down from the stage.
"You did a great job, senpai," Minato Namikaze said at this moment.
"Don't come to me for this kind of thing again next time," Yuan Tuoye said helplessly. Whether you can do it and whether you want to do it are two different things.
Minato Namikaze smiled upon hearing this but remained silent.
"Is everything alright now? I'm going back first." Yuan Tuoye wanted to go home and rest.
"Don't rush, there's something I need you to investigate, senior." Minato Namikaze said, his expression turning serious.
"Hmm?" Gen Takuno was a little puzzled, but when Minato Namikaze told him about the matter he was going to investigate, he was also shocked and looked at Minato Namikaze, whose eyes were flashing.
Minato Namikaze had him investigate Danzo Shimura!
That makes sense, though. Apart from the Third Hokage, no supreme leader would turn a blind eye to the actions of the other side during the Nine-Tails' rampage.
The Hokage gave him so much power, yet when he needed the other party's help, he always hid behind and did not contribute at all. How could the Hokage tolerate that?
It was tolerable for the Third Hokage to reminisce about the past, but the Fourth Hokage couldn't stand it!
Specifically, Minato Namikaze asked Takuno Minamoto to investigate the performance of Danzo Shimura's Root organization during the Nine-Tails' attack.
He is now unsure whether the Root organization was involved in the Nine-Tails' rampage.
If it's available, that would be ideal; if not—
Minato Namikaze's eyes also held a hint of coldness.
He didn't care whether the other party would stop the Nine-Tails. It was normal for the other party not to do something so dangerous, and not everyone could face danger with equanimity.
But if they don't even take any action and just sit by and watch the Nine-Tails wreak havoc in Konoha without coming out to rescue the ordinary villagers, then what is the point of Root's existence?
Previously, because Shimura Danzo had become much more restrained, Namikaze Minato couldn't find a suitable opportunity to expose him, and he also had to consider the opinions of the Third Hokage and his two advisors.
So even though he knew what Danzo Shimura had done in the past, he still needed to give the Third Hokage and the others some face as long as they didn't cause trouble during his term.
But now, after this incident, Minato Namikaze has completely lost his temper.
Root is also a member of Konoha. In a situation like the Nine-Tails' attack that endangers the entire village, not only did they not come out to help, but they didn't even send out their own subordinates?
Is this root still part of Konoha?
Minato Namikaze had also heard that the core tenet of Root was to protect in the darkness.
It means that even if one is trapped in darkness, one must protect Konoha.
However, Danzo Shimura's Root organization couldn't even provide superficial protection, so how could he be expected to protect Konoha in secret? We should be grateful if he doesn't cause trouble for Konoha from the shadows!
Therefore, Minato Namikaze now genuinely wants to take action to eradicate this organization that exists in the shadows and offers almost no benefit to Konoha.
The protection in the darkness doesn't need to be from the Root; the Anbu directly under the Hokage can also shoulder this responsibility!
"I understand!" Yuan Tuoye's expression was also solemn; he naturally knew the special status of the Root.
Logically speaking, the Root Division is also a sub-unit under the Dark Division, and its configuration is basically the same as that of the Dark Division.
However, the Roots are not under the control of the Dark Division Chief, and therefore even less under the control of him, the Deputy Chief.
Therefore, his current status is definitely not as high as Shimura Danzo's, but the other party can no longer suppress him by virtue of his position as the leader of Root.
"Please, senpai," Minato Namikaze said solemnly, as this matter was very important.
Soon, Gen Takuno put on the eagle mask that had been issued to him earlier and walked towards his office in the Anbu.
"Commander-in-Chief." The squad leader greeted Yuan Tuoye respectfully.
"He's the deputy captain," Yuan Tuoye said after glancing at the other person.
"Deputy Chief, it's my fault," the squad leader said hastily. He found it a bit strange, as the deputy chiefs usually preferred to be called chief, and only when the chief was present would they be called deputy chief.
After all, everyone aspires to a higher position.
The current deputy chief is clearly different from the previous ones.
"How many people are left in your squad now?" Yuan Tuoye asked.
"Deputy Captain, because we were responsible for intelligence gathering, we suffered fewer casualties in this Nine-Tailed Fox attack. Originally there were seventeen of us, now there are fifteen left. This is the information on me and my squad." The squad leader said, respectfully handing over seventeen documents to Yuan Tuoye.
Gen Takuno looked at the information in his hand. It only recorded the ninjutsu and skills of those people, but did not record their true identities.
He wasn't surprised by this; only the Hokage was qualified to know the true identities of the Anbu.
The records in these seventeen documents are also very detailed, and two of them are marked with the words "deceased".
Moreover, none of them were familiar with the Anbu. Yamato had not yet joined the Anbu, and as for Kakashi Hatake—he was currently in another squad.
Kakashi Hatake is probably mainly in squads that carry out classified missions or assassinations. Minato Namikaze would only send him over if the other party needed knowledge in that area.
Yuan Tuoye wasn't disappointed. Even if the other party came over, he could only use his Sharingan to see how the other party used the Lightning Blade. It wouldn't be of much use otherwise.
Kakashi Hatake's strength was less helpful in gathering intelligence than the opponent's single eye.
"I will ask the Hokage to bring in two more people. The Hokage has a mission for us now," said Gen Takuno after reading the document.
"Please speak, sir," the squad leader said respectfully.
Gen Takuno quickly relayed the mission to the squad leader: to investigate Root's performance during the Nine-Tails' rampage.
The squad leader nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. The task was not difficult; it mainly involved asking the evacuated villagers if they had seen anyone wearing a diamond-shaped mask.
Because the masks of the Root are extremely unique and are very different from the animal masks of the Dark Division, there is no need to worry about the other party mistaking them.
"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" The squad leader accepted the mission and then left.
Yuan Tuoye watched the other person's figure, stretched, and thought, "It's so comfortable being a leader. I can just give orders to my subordinates."
After that, he had nothing else to do and could continue practicing the Spirit Transformation Technique and the Eight Gates Formation Technique.
