At this moment, the Hokage Building.

When Hatake Sakumo talked about his investigation and took out the white short belt, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was nothing but a little sad.

In fact, he had thought during this period that if Shimura Danzo was not dead, he would definitely notify Konoha's spies outside to contact him even if he was inconvenient to move.

However, half a month later, he did not receive any news about Shimura Danzo.

So, he had a premonition that Shimura Danzo might really not come back.

And Hatake Sakumo only helped him confirm his thoughts.

"Tell me the details you found." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and said.

"Okay, this is the case..." After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Hatake Sakumo told Sarutobi Hiruzen what he saw in Ichibashi and what Uchiha Chiba said.

A moment later.

"You mean Danzo used the Four Symbols Sealing Technique to die together with the enemy?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in confusion.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Is the Wood Release Bloodstain owner so strong? More than 20 jonin plus Shimura Danzo are no match for him, and they forced him to use such a method of dying together?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only accept this fact.

"Give me that short belt, Sakumo." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hatake Sakumo who lowered his head, and then moved his eyes to the short belt in his hand.

"Yes."

Hatake Sakumo said and then stepped forward to put the white short belt on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hatake Sakumo and said, "Okay Sakumo, you have worked hard during this period, go back and rest for two days."

However, hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Hatake Sakumo only felt ashamed.

After all, he had no work for the past half month, and spent the whole day lingering in the major custom shops in the Land of Hot Springs.

Not to mention, this time really opened his eyes. Thinking about his previous life, it was almost the same as an ascetic monk.

But this kind of thing only needs him and Uchiha Chiba to know.

"Okay, Lord Hokage."

Hatake Sakumo slowly left the office, and as soon as he walked out of the office, he saw Orochimaru coming towards him.

Hatake Sakumo knew Orochimaru, but he was not very familiar with him. Seeing this, Hatake Sakumo nodded to Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru."

"Sakumo, I haven't seen you for a long time. Did the teacher assign you a task?" Orochimaru nodded in response, and then smiled.

"Yes, I just came back from the mission. Lord Hokage specially approved me a few days off. Did Lord Orochimaru go to see Lord Hokage?"

"Yes, in that case, Sakumo, then you should go back and rest." The purpose of Orochimaru's trip was to see the Third Hokage's arrangement for the Root, so he was not interested in chatting with Hatake Sakumo.

"Okay, then I'll go first. Goodbye Lord Orochimaru." Hatake Sakumo also felt that there was nothing to say to Orochimaru. Since Orochimaru said so, he also accepted it.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the white short belt in his hand in a daze. Although he had accepted the fact that Shimura Danzo was dead, he still couldn't accept that an old friend was gone so suddenly.

"Someone come."

"Hokage."

"Go and notify Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu to come over and tell them that I have something to talk to them about."

An old friend is dead, and he still feels it is necessary to tell these two people about this matter.

"Yes."

Soon after the Anbu left, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

"Orochimaru, what do you want?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said after seeing that the person who came in was Orochimaru.

"Teacher, I heard that Danzo died. Is this true?"

"How did you know?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up and frowned at Orochimaru.

"Teacher, don't worry about this. I have my own information channels. So, is this news true?" Orochimaru did not give out Uchiha Chiba.

After all, they are allies now.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Orochimaru. He was a little dissatisfied with Orochimaru's current attitude.

You know, he is Orochimaru's teacher. Think about it, Orochimaru would tell him about anything in the past.

"Well, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. Now tell me why you're here."

"I hope the teacher can give me the root. I can do what Danzo can do, and I can do it better than him."

Although he told Uchiha Chiba not to rush before, on the way here, Orochimaru thought about it again and felt that it seemed completely unnecessary.

First of all, as long as the root is not disbanded, Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely find someone to take over the root, so why can't this person be him?What?

If they were to disband, the original Root members would be a time bomb, after all, they were already in the shape of Shimura Danzo.

If they were to disband, it would be a problem to arrange these people.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew this. He had originally thought about dealing with the Root for a while, but he didn't expect Orochimaru to be interested in the Root.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it. Orochimaru was his disciple, and he had watched him grow up. The relationship between him and Orochimaru was no longer a simple master-disciple relationship, but rather a father-son relationship.

Moreover, he knew Orochimaru very well. Unlike Jiraiya and Tsunade, Orochimaru was calm and wise, and was very similar to him in terms of thinking.

"It's okay to leave the Root to you, but you also know that the Root is a mess. I hope that the Root will be handed over to you to appease those Root members and not let them cause trouble, understand?"

Orochimaru was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. He was already prepared to argue with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The result was that it was completely useless, and even the reasons he had thought of were useless, but this was also a good thing, at least he didn't have to waste his breath.

As for the root problem you mentioned, Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was not difficult for him at all.

According to Uchiha Chiba, the combatants of the root had been taken away by Shimura Danzo and died outside.

The people who were still in the root were just some logistics and scientific research personnel.

Dealing with these people was too easy for him.

"Don't worry, teacher, I can still handle this little thing." Orochimaru said with a confident smile.

"Since you are so confident, I'll leave it to you. Okay, do you have anything else to do? If there is nothing else, then go back first and deal with the root's affairs as soon as possible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Orochimaru and said.

"That's all."

Orochimaru didn't have the heart to stay here anymore. Since Sarutobi Hiruzen drove him away, he would leave.
