At the entrance of the root base, Namikaze's facade looked like frost, and he walked straight in from the outside.
Behind him, three men in black robes followed closely.
The root member on duty spotted the visitor from a distance. When he saw that the leader was a ninja wearing a Jonin uniform, he was about to order him to stop and conduct an inspection as usual.
But then, he recognized the identity of the blond man with some trepidation.
He hurriedly stepped aside, nodded and lowered his eyebrows and asked: "Hokage-sama..., why did you come to the root to...?"
However, Namikaze Minato just replied lightly: I'm looking for the leader of the roots.
He ignored him and continued to walk inside. The root ninja on duty suddenly panicked when he saw this. Shortly after Namikaze Minato and the others entered, he immediately used a special method to remove the Fourth Hokage's arrival.
Messages and notifications have arrived inside.
Because the root base is underground, there are winding staircase tunnels along the way.
Only on the walls on both sides, at intervals, would there be a light.
Yakushi Nonou followed Minato Namikaze all the way, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She didn't know what the Fourth Hokage wanted to do, but judging from the slight coldness in his expression, he was looking for the root leader group.
Hiding accountability?
I'm afraid this is unlikely, right?
As for the other two root members who were responsible for monitoring Nonoyu, they were equally terrified.
Obviously they didn't say anything, but Namikaze Minato seemed to know everything about the orphanage.
After walking to the deepest point, a spacious hall comes into view.
To Namikaze Minato's surprise, the man with his right eye bandaged, his right arm dangling and his left hand holding a cane, seemed to be waiting there early.
Behind him were Aburame Ryoma and another member of the Roots wearing a mask.
"The Fourth Hokage suddenly visited the root. What's the matter?"
Danzo Shimura's expression remained as usual, and he seemed to have been prepared in his heart, so he took the lead in asking.
"I would like to ask Mr. Danzo to give a reasonable explanation for the orphanage matter..."
Namikaze Minato had no expression on his face and asked straight to the point.
Obviously, although Danzo was prepared, he still did not expect that Namikaze Minato would ask such a direct question, and what made him even more unexpected was that the other party seemed to already know everything.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but suddenly turned his gaze to the three people behind Namikaze Minato.
However, they saw Yakushi Nonou and the two root members with somewhat surprised looks in their eyes. It seemed that they had just realized that being able to ask such a question meant that Namikaze Minato already knew the whole story.
"Orphanage? What does the Yondaime mean?"
Because he was extremely confident in his curse seal, Danzo hesitated for a moment and then pretended not to know.
Danzo's question also made Namikaze Minato react. So far, it seems that no one has reported Danzo's threat to the orphanage.
Nonoyu just asked him about the aid fund.
This is a bit embarrassing...
It's like skipping the process of accepting a lawsuit and going directly to file an investigation.
Even so, Namikaze Minato is a time traveler after all, and at the same time has the identity of the Fourth Hokage. He is very clear about what the Pot King has done.
It's a settled fact, and you have to admit the crime even if it's a fraud.
Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato asked again calmly: "I recently received news that the leader of Konoha's top leaders has done something that damages the reputation of the village."
"He used despicable tricks, which seriously lowered the impression of people outside the village on Konoha ninjas..."
"Lord Danzo, do you admit this?"
This can be regarded as one of the benefits of being Hokage, because the head of a village has a strong information channel. Even if he falsely claims that he knows about this matter, can you Danzo still ask me where I got the information?
What's more, Danzo actually did this...
However, he still underestimated the shamelessness of the pot king.
Although a trace of surprise flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes, he still said without changing his expression: "What exactly did the Yondaime say?"
"Is it possible that someone has framed me and I have to admit it?"
Seeing this scene, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel a little angry and laughed.
Having reached this point, you can still continue to be shameless. In a sense, it is indeed a skill.
But it's a pity that I even brought witnesses. If you still don't admit it, it won't be interesting...
Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato decided not to show mercy, his face turned cold, and he asked loudly: "A few days ago, you took people to the orphanage, in the name of the aid fund that the village had already approved.
Threatened the dean, pharmacist No Naiyu, to work for himself."
"Do you admit this?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Danzo, but also the other root members and the pharmacist Nonou himself were shocked.
What Danzo didn't expect was that Namikaze Minato actually knew everything about this matter.
What surprised Yakushi Noonoyu was that the Fourth Hokage knew everything about the matter and was willing to stand up for her and the orphanage...
When the matter has reached this point, Danzo has no choice but to believe that it seems that if he took people to the orphanage a few days ago, if it was not detected by Namikaze Minato's spy, it must be because the orphanage did not want to be coerced, and
Reported the matter to Namikaze Minato.
After looking uncertainly for a long time, Shimura Danzo suddenly smiled coldly, and then said calmly: "I'm afraid the Fourth Generation Eye has misunderstood this matter..."
"The so-called threat does not exist at all."
"I recalled the director of the orphanage, pharmacist Nonoyu, just to assign tasks to him."
"In fact, she was originally affiliated with the Root Ninja."
"This is just a normal task assignment, how can we use coercion?"
After the pharmacist Nonoyu heard what Danzo said, a hint of anger suddenly flashed across his brown eyes.
The same is true for Namikaze Minato.
But the wily Danzo seemed to have guessed what the two were thinking, and suddenly continued: "Yakushi Nonou, if you want to say that you have already left your roots, your identity as a ninja has been destroyed long ago.
If so, that would be a big mistake..."
"As long as you do something for Konoha, your identity information will immediately appear in the root."
"If the Yondaime wants to check it, this identity card can be obtained at any time."
This statement is indeed irrefutable.
Even Nonoyu, who originally wanted to refute, had to fall silent again after thinking about the fact that her information was registered before accepting the mission.
At this point, the tasks have been accepted, and there is no point in saying anything else...
"So, where is the child named Kabuto in the orphanage?"
Namikaze Minato thought for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic and continued to question.
