Konoha's Wooden Reappearance

The second day after Minama returned to Konoha, he got up very early, had breakfast, and was thinking about what to do today when an ANBU team appeared in the yard.

"Master Minama, the Third Hokage, please go to the Hokage Building immediately."

Among them, the captain-looking ANBU said.

Mizama looked at the team of ANBU and frowned slightly.

"It can't be that Kakashi's speculation last night came true."

"Okay, let's go, I happen to have something I want to talk to the Hokage about."

After saying that, Minama ignored the others and directly used the lightning escape technique to rush towards the Hokage Building.

Soon we arrived at the Hokage Building and met an acquaintance Kakashi downstairs.

When they saw each other, they both frowned. After a quick eye contact, they walked into the Hokage Building together.

The ANBU, which had been waiting for them for a long time, guided them outside the Hokage's office.

"Kakashi-senpai, Master Minama, the Hokage-sama has given orders, you can just go in when you arrive."

Although the ANBU said so, Kakashi politely knocked on the door first.

"It's Kakashi and Minama, come in."

After receiving permission, Kakashi and Mizama walked into the office and saw all the high-level officials of Konoha there.

The expressions of the four people are also different.

Sarutobi Hiruzen still showed a kind expression like an elder, Danzo looked serious and majestic, while Koharu and Mito Kaden who went to bed looked at Minama and Kakashi with some displeasure as they entered.

"Kakashi, Minama, I came to you today mainly for two things. One is that some details about this mission need to be explained in person, and the other is about Elder Danzo accusing you of killing root ninjas. matter."

Upon hearing this, Minama directly began to greet the eighteenth generation of Danzo's ancestors.

"Damn it, Kakashi guessed it right. You actually imitated a child and complained to your parents. Your dignity as a villain is so shameless."

"Now, let's do the first thing. Kakashi, you should explain it to the three elders."

"Okay, Hokage-sama. After we received Hokage-sama's order that day... that's how the whole mission went."

After Kakashi finished speaking, Danzo didn't say anything, but the other two elders looked at Minama, with less unhappiness on their faces.

"Ten Iwa Ninja Village ninjas, including three Jonin, finally killed Juuzou, one of the Seven Kirigakure Ninja Swordsmen, and also used a conspiracy to kill the ninja who claimed to have fought against the First Generation."

"Yes, Consultant Koharu."

"Kakashi, everything you said is true."

"Yes, Consultant Menyan, these are the facts."

"Mizama, how did you kill those three jonin and Juzo?"

"It's simple. I've been told since I was a kid that it's important to use your brain when fighting between ninjas.

Those three jounin, they looked down on me because of my age. This was the fundamental reason why they died. As for the process, I don't think it is very important.

As for criticizing Juuzang, it was because my speed was much higher than his, and he had no chance to use his ninjutsu. "

Minazama didn't want to go into details about the battle, there was no need.

"You used the Flying Thunder God technique in the battle. You should have learned it secretly. What are the consequences of secretly learning the village's forbidden technique?

In addition, it is also a serious crime to keep a beheading sword and the corpse of an enemy without turning it over to the village. "

Danzo hadn't said a word before, but when he spoke he was eager to convict others.

"Danzo-sama, what you said is really interesting. The Fourth Hokage is my adoptive father. How do you know that he didn't teach me the Flying Thunder God? Is it a sin for a son to inherit his father's legacy?"

Besides, is the ninjutsu of Flying Thunder God really difficult? Since the second generation Hokage was able to create it, future generations can do it as well.

Or is it that Danzo-sama thinks he can't do it, so he thinks that everyone else can't do the same as you?

The beheading sword and the enemy's corpse are my trophies, and there is no clear rule in the village that I have to hand them over. "

In fact, this is a loophole, because there is really no explicit regulation, but generally everyone has to hand it in by default.

"Okay, we've finished talking about the mission. As for Flying Thunder God, I don't want to go into details about how you learned it, Mizama.

You can keep the beheading sword if you want, but the enemy's corpse must be handed over. Information that is very important to the village may be obtained from the corpse.

Let's talk about another matter. Elder Danzo accused you and Kakashi of killing root ninjas for no reason. "

Seeing that Danzo would continue to entangle, the Third Hokage spoke out to end the topic of Flying Thunder God and hiding trophies.

"What the root ninja, what root ninja I killed was not a bandit"

Mizama asked with a puzzled look on his face, that look really couldn't be true anymore.

"It turns out that the person who wanted to kill us that day was Danzo Elder's man. Conspiracy to kill Konoha ninjas is a serious crime of betraying the village. Don't you have anything to say?"

Minama seemed to suddenly wake up and said to Danzo who was struggling to maintain his dignity.

"Hmph, kid, stop making excuses. The facts are very clear. You used the Wood Release Ninjutsu to brutally kill the ninjas in your roots. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. What else do you have to say?"

"Wood Release, what Wood Release is Sarutobi?"

"Ahem, ahem, I ordered Mizama to conceal this matter.

When Mizama was five years old, he had already awakened the blood-inherited boundary wood escape that was only available to the first generation of adults. In order to be useful at critical moments in the future, I asked him to deliberately conceal it. "

"After all these years, is there finally another Wooden ninja in Konoha Village?"

When Mito Kado and Koharu suddenly heard the news, they felt happy at first, and they couldn't bear to be unhappy about Sarutobi Hiruzen's deliberate concealment.

As for how Mu Dun came about, I'll ask later.

The unhappiness on their faces disappeared and they began to stare at Mizama with smiles on their faces, as if they were looking at a treasure.

"He has already killed a Konoha ninja with Wood Release. The greater his ability, the greater the harm to Konoha in the future."

Danzo still refused to give up and poured cold water on the side.

"Mizama, do you have anything to explain about this matter?"

After listening to Danzo's words, the Third Hokage also asked with a serious face.

The expressions of the other two consultants instantly turned cold.

"I told you, I didn't know that the other party was the root ninja of Elder Danzo. The other party had special treatment on his body at that time. I couldn't sense it. The other party was dressed as a gangster. I really thought he was a robber."

"Kid, it's useless to lie in front of us. My people have told me the truth. You recognized them at the time, but you still took action and threatened me."

"Danzo-sama, what you said is really interesting. Your people told your Hokage-sama, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

What if they want to frame me or Danzo-sama, please teach them what to say in advance? I have every reason to suspect that Danzo-sama has this motive. "

Looking at Danzo, whose expression gradually turned gloomy across from him, Mizama continued.

"Furthermore, why did Danzo-sama's roots suddenly appear on Kakashi and I's way back to the village?

That path was chosen temporarily by Kakashi and I, and why did they appear when we were at our weakest?

What's the most amazing thing in the world is that Danzo-sama has been sending people to follow us.

If so, why didn't they take action when Kakashi's team and I were in a bitter battle? Do they have to sit back and watch us being wiped out by the enemy for various reasons? Shouldn't Danzo-sama explain it clearly in front of us? "

"My men were on a mission nearby and went over to check after hearing the noise."

"Oh, what kind of mission does one need to perform as a bandit in a place not too far away from Konoha Village in the Land of Fire?"

"What kind of mission? This is a fundamental matter and has nothing to do with you."

"Mizama, Kakashi said that he later guessed that the person ambushing was a root ninja."

It was the Third Hokage who interrupted the argument between the two.

"Well, is there such a thing, Kakashi-senpai?"

"Well, I guessed it after the fact because I didn't tell you without evidence."

"Hokage-sama, I can guarantee that I really don't know, and the situation at that time was that if I didn't force them back hard, they would kill me and Kakashi."

"Hmph, sophistry, even if they want to kill you, you can use the Flying Thunder God to take Kakashi away."

"Danzo-sama, what you said is wrong again. Someone has made it clear that they want to kill me, but I can't fight back and wait for the other party to kill me. According to Danzo-sama's logic, if I want to kill everyone here, is it you? You have to be obedient and let me kill you."

As Mizama said this, he thought in his mind.

"Duanzo, you are so shameless. You call a thief to catch a thief, but you are also a double-standard dog. You really think you are the center of the world."

"Presumptuous, no matter how you argue, it can't change the fact that you killed the Konoha ninja."

"Since Danzo-sama said so, he also said that he has witnesses. Hokage-sama, I demand a thorough investigation of this matter and the truth of the matter be announced in the village.

The Yamanaka clan has the ability to probe the memory of ninjas. I think that as long as they probe the memory in the so-called witness's mind, they will be able to find out the facts and clear my name. "

Mizama said directly and righteously.

"Hmph, I don't believe you dare to let Yamanaka Hai come to explore the memories of your subordinates. If you are not afraid that your scandals will be exposed, we will continue to fight."

"Okay, I already understand what's going on. Let's forget about exploring the memory."

The Third Hokage gave Danzo a very meaningful look.

After smoking and thinking for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

"Mizama, let me first talk about the treatment for you. Although you didn't know about it and the main fault is not yours, after all, you directly killed a Konoha ninja. There must be an explanation. I will sentence you to one month. imprisonment.

If Kakashi is not at fault in this matter, then there will be no punishment, how about?"

Stopping Minama who was about to argue, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke directly.

"As for Danzo, you commanded your ANBU to attack the ninjas of Konoha, which is tantamount to betraying the village. From today on, you will be relieved of your position as director of the root department, and all your ANBU will be integrated into the ANBU directly under the Hokage.

Just wait for the village to deal with it. "

"Sarutobi, is this too harsh a punishment for Danzo? It's too light a punishment for this brat."

Mito Kadoen and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, spoke quickly, and it looked like they were about to defend Danzo.

The Third Hokage ignored them and looked directly at Mizama.

"I agree with this approach."

Shuijian pondered for a moment and agreed.

"Hmph, Danzo's punishment is severe. As expected, things gather together and people divide into groups. They are really a bunch of double-standard dogs."

"I don't have any problems."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he and Minama looked at Danzo beside him.
