After hearing the only good news so far, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sarutobi Hiruzen reached out and put the pipe on the side of the table, picked it up again and hung it to his mouth. After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again:
"Have you confirmed the news with Naruto and the others?"
Iruka nodded, with a serious look on his face:
"The general process is clear. From the descriptions of the three of them, it seems that they were ninjas from the ANBU of Konoha who killed Yoshiro Kinoshita of the Mist Ninja Village."
"Then Kakashi's team was attacked by the ninjas of the Mist Ninja Village, and Kakashi Jōnin held back the ninjas of the Mist Ninja Village, creating an opportunity for Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura to escape..."
At this point, Iruka's voice paused slightly and continued: "Then, Naruto somehow caused the leakage of Nine-Tails chakra, and the three of them don't know what happened after that."
Konoha Anbu?
Hearing these four words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids twitched slightly. He naturally knew that this could not be done by Konoha Anbu, and there was only one result.
The original conversation with Danzo was just about getting in touch with Kinoshita Yoshiro, not about killing him.
Danzo, you are doing things too recklessly!
An ugly look flashed across Sarutobi Hiruzen's face. It would be fine if he killed the other party without anyone noticing, but now the people in the Mist Ninja Village seemed to know that it was them.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette. Although the information he received was not comprehensive, he still felt something vaguely strange.
Unfortunately, Kakashi is still in a coma. If he wakes up, everything that happened will become clear.
"Hokage-sama, Naruto definitely didn't mean to do that."
Iruka looked at the silent Sarutobi Hiruzen and said quickly.
After all, although Naruto, who had transformed into a tailed beast, had lost consciousness, it was true that he had hurt people in his village, and Iruka was very worried that Naruto would be punished by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Seeing the nervous expression on Iruka's face, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a smile on his face and said in a relaxed voice:
"Don't worry Iruka, this matter is not Naruto's fault. I will not punish Naruto."
"By the way, Iruka, how are Sasuke and the others feeling?"
Iruka shook his head, with a hint of deepness in his tone: "After experiencing this incident, Sasuke and the others are a little depressed, especially Naruto."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, but there was no surprise on his face. After all, in a scene where he was on the edge of life and death, no one would be in high spirits.
However, it can be said that Naruto grew up under the watch of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi understands Naruto's character, and I'm afraid he will recover in a short time.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have much to worry about.
"Kakashi won't wake up for the time being. I'll leave the three of them to you to take care of them during this period. After all, you are also their teacher and you are familiar with them."
"During this period, please help Naruto adjust and adjust his mood. By the way, don't tell Naruto about the injury to Kakashi for the time being."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Iruka with a serious look on his face.
"No problem, Third Generation-sama!"
Iruka hurriedly said respectfully, even if the Third Generation didn't need to talk about this matter, he would still do it.
Watching Iruka exit the Hokage's office, the smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face slowly disappeared.
He stretched out his fingers and tapped the table in front of him while Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking.
The door to the office suddenly opened, and Danzo strode in with a gloomy look.
"I have already said about the Jinchuuriki. The Jinchuuriki is an unstable factor and must be left to the care of the roots."
"There is also the orphan of the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen. You should know what his existence means to Konoha. If something goes wrong with Uchiha Sasuke, you should know the consequences!"
As soon as Danzo entered the office, he went straight to the topic without any nonsense, and watched Hiruzen Sarutobi speak impassionedly.
That's fine with Uchiha Sasuke, after all, there is a ruthless man standing behind him, but the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and Danzo have always wanted to get in the root.
And this time, the leakage of Nine-Tails chakra is a great opportunity for Danzo.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo expressionlessly, until Danzo finished everything, Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly: "Kinoshita Yoshiro is dead."
Danzo was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Regarding what happened in the Land of Waves, no one except Kakashi's team knew what happened, and as soon as Kakashi and others returned to the village, all ANBU took over.
Because of this, Danzo knew limited information except that Kyuubi's chakra was leaked.
"Kinoshita Yoshiro died at the hands of someone from the Roots. He was seen by Kakashi's team at the scene. He even had a conflict with the ninjas of Kiri Ninja Village. You don't know about this, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo coldly.
After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Danzo's expression changed slightly. He had indeed secretly ordered Kinoshita Yoshiro to bring back the opponent's head if he found out.
But all this is based on secret conditions and based on fundamental principles of action, such small mistakes should not be made.
What's more, the root ninjas he sent out now haven't heard back yet.
Could it be!
Danzo's expression changed, he raised his head and looked directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "If you say that I don't know anything about this matter, would you believe it?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned but did not speak.
Although Danzo's methods are sometimes a bit clumsy, he should not make such obvious mistakes.
Of course, it is also possible that Danzo did it deliberately, but the possibility is relatively small.
But there is one thing that Hiruzen Sarutobi can be sure of, Naruto and Sasuke will not lie.
Bang!
The office door that had been closed not long ago was suddenly pushed open again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo frowned at the same time and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw two old men of considerable age walking in directly.
In the entire Konoha Village, the number of people who can enter and leave the Hokage's office without any worries can be counted on one hand.
These two people are the Konoha Administrative Department, the highest officials who specialize in managing Konoha's government affairs. They are similar to elders: Mito Kaden and Koharu.
The Administration Department is a relatively special organization in Konoha and generally does not interfere in the internal affairs of the village. However, once this department intervenes, it means that something has happened that can affect the entire Konoha.
As soon as these two people walked in, they were slightly stunned when they saw Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo who were in a tense atmosphere in the office.
"Since we are all here, it's best."
Mito Kaden looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo and smiled softly, but his voice was a little low.
