The man standing at the top of the ninja world

The Third Hokage thought for a while and said, "There is one more thing that I am very worried about."

"What's the matter?" Danzo asked.

"Although this mission was successfully completed, Kakuzu is not dead. What if he attacks other teams in the village who are out on missions next?"

Hearing this, Danzo, Mito Kadoyan, and Koharu, who had gone to bed, all frowned, feeling that it was a bit tricky.

They are now certain that the force to which Kakuzu belongs is hostile to Konoha. Even if there are no other Kage-level ninjas in this force that is secretly hostile to Konoha, Kakuzu alone is already very scary.

Konoha Village is currently undergoing rapid development. It receives many tasks from clients from all over the ninja world every day, so countless teams go out to perform tasks every day.

Most of these teams are composed of chuunin, and only a few of the teams have jounin, but even a jounin team may not be able to compete with a kage-level ninja.

What's more, Kakuzu is not an ordinary Kage-level ninja. He is a master who became famous decades ago, and even assassinated the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.

The Third Hokage and the three advisors now know that neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade is Kakuzu's opponent, and the gap is not small. If they fight one-on-one, they will soon be defeated by Kakuzu.

There are currently eight Kage-level ninjas in Konoha Village, namely the Third Hokage, Danzo, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Nagato, Hatake Sakumo, and Uchiha Kageun.

Among them, the Third Hokage, Danzo, and Uchiha Keigun will no longer go on missions. Among the remaining five people, Jiraiya and Tsunade needless to say, although Orochimaru is more powerful than Jiraiya and Tsunade. , but it didn't open too much, and it shouldn't be Kakuzu's opponent.

Although Nagato has the Rinnegan, he is too young after all. The Third Hokage and the three advisors do not think he can defeat Kakuzu.

Only Hatake Sakumo can fight Kakuzu.

In other words, except for the first team and Hatake Sakumo's team, all the ninjas who go out to perform missions in Konoha will be annihilated when they encounter Kakuzu. If Kakuzu is really determined to attack Konoha's team, then As long as he avoids the first class and Hatake Sakumo, he will catch them accurately, and Konoha will suffer very serious losses.

But it was impossible for the four of them not to send a ninja team out to perform the mission just because they were afraid of being attacked by Kakuzu.

Mito Kadoyan pondered for a moment, then said: "The only way for now is to wait for the ninjas of the Yamazaka clan to find out the leaker from those Fire Nation ministers, and determine where this force that is hostile to our Konoha is. Only after sanctification can this problem be solved.”

The Third Hokage nodded, "That's all."

There are many enemies in Konoha. Although Kakuzu is very strong, it is not a big deal. If nothing else, the current Raikage and Tsuchikage are definitely stronger than Kakuzu.

But it is certainly impossible for Raikage and Tsuchikage to attack Konoha's ninja team wantonly, because the Third Hokage can also come back with revenge, but Kakuzu is different. The Third Hokage and the three advisors have no idea which force Kakuzu belongs to, that is. There is no way to take revenge and go back.

As long as we figure out who this secretly hostile force is to Konoha, the next step will be easy.

"Danzo, Kado Yan, Koharu." The Third Hokage said, "Next, we should talk about Nagato killing Ichiro Sagi."

"What do you think of Nagato's proposal to put all the responsibility for killing Sagi Ichiro on Kakuzu? Should we adopt his proposal?"

Danzo did not hesitate and said loudly: "Hiruzhan, I think Nagato's proposal is very good. I have already considered it. There are no loopholes in this plan. As long as the responsibility is passed to Kakuto, then we in Konoha will not It’s the best thing to be affected by anything.”

Mito Kadoyan followed up and said: "I also agree with this plan. Kakuzu is a notorious traitorous ninja. Even if he stands up to clarify that he did not kill Sagi Ichiro, other people in the ninja world will not believe him. We can only obediently become our Konoha scapegoat."

"Moreover, if he really dares to stand up and clarify, it will be more beneficial to us in Konoha. We are worried about him secretly hiding and attacking other teams in the village who are out on missions. If he dares to expose his whereabouts, then we can take advantage of it. Send someone to catch him and solve this hidden danger."

After turning to bed, Koharu finally said: "Danzo and Men Yan are right, and I also support Nagato's plan."

"Since you all have no objections, let's do it like this." The Third Hokage nodded, and he himself was inclined to adopt Nagato's plan.

Then, the Third Hokage said: "The next thing is the last thing. Nagato made such a serious mistake, we should deal with him accordingly."

Danzo, Mito Kadeni, and Koharu looked at each other when they went to bed, but neither of them spoke. How to deal with Nagato was indeed a difficult problem.

According to common sense, it is a felony for a Konoha ninja to kill the mission client during the execution of a mission, and even execution is not excessive, because this will greatly affect Konoha's reputation and further damage Konoha's interests.

If it were other Konoha ninjas, the four of them wouldn't need to be so entangled.

But the problem is that Nagato is not an ordinary Konoha ninja, but a super genius with the Samsara Eye, who is unanimously recognized by the four of them as the person who can lead Konoha to dominate the world again in the future.

The Third Hokage has even decided that in a dozen years, when he gets old, he will abdicate and let Nagato be the Fourth Hokage.

If they punish Nagato severely, what should Nagato do if he feels resentment towards Konoha?

After a while, Mito Kadoyan was the first to speak. He looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu, I think Nagato should be severely punished."

"It is precisely because we have high hopes for Nagato that we should strictly discipline him. He must not be allowed to act so willfully."

As soon as Mito Kadoyan finished speaking, Danzo said loudly: "I don't agree. In my opinion, Nagato should not be punished at all."

"Although Nagato was a little impulsive when he killed Sagi Ichiro during the mission, he just killed a samurai. There is nothing to punish him."

"Besides, that Sagi Ichiro was looking for death on his own. He was just a samurai, but he dared to insult us ninjas. Nagato was so good at killing him that even I wanted to kill him."

"What Nagato said is absolutely correct. It was the ancestor of the ninja, Six Paths Sage, who invented chakra. This is something for us ninjas. If these samurai learned from us ninjas, they should bow down before us ninjas."
