This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 130 Danzo, offline!

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat behind his desk, holding two newly delivered documents in his hands, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water.

One was an official letter of condemnation from the Land of Lightning, strongly worded, accusing Konoha of inadequate security, which led to the mission being subjected to a large-scale attack within the Land of Fire.

The other document was a report submitted by Nishikawa Tetsu, entitled "Report on the Intelligence System".

"Lord Hokage, this is a serious dereliction of duty."

Nishikawa Tetsu stood in front of the desk, speaking with righteous indignation.

"The information given to Jiraiya-sensei was false; there was absolutely no unusual activity in Iwagakure. This false information directly led to the attack on Jiraiya-sensei's base, and the three orphans he was caring for almost lost their lives. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to lure him away and use him as a pawn."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the intelligence report with a grim expression.

As the Hokage, he certainly knew what this meant. Someone was using the village's intelligence system to instigate internal strife, even at the expense of the village's interests.

Just then.

"Bang!"

The office door was rudely pushed open.

Danzo Shimura strode in aggressively, his cane slamming heavily on the ground, making a series of rapid sounds.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Danzo Shimura's one eye glared open, his beard trembling with rage.

He originally planned to launch an attack as soon as news of the attack on Yunyin reached him, criticizing the police department and the research institute.

Now look what happened! Yunyin is unharmed, while the squad he sent out was wiped out, and that brat Nishikawa Che has actually come to complain first.

"Hiruzen, don't listen to this brat's nonsense!"

Danzo pointed at Nishikawa Tetsu: "The real problem is him. I've already investigated and found out that the Akatsuki organization actually possesses our Konoha's electromagnetic railgun. And the penicillin they sell, the cement they use—it's all this kid's technology!"

"He's aiding the enemy, he's betraying the village, he's cultivating potential enemies for Konoha!"

Danzo's explanation became increasingly coherent, as if he had grasped Nishikawa Tetsu's fatal weakness.

"This traitor must be executed immediately!"

Faced with Danzo's accusations, Nishikawa Tetsuya not only did not panic, but instead showed an expression as if he were looking at a fool.

"Lord Danzo, are you getting senile?"

He said slowly and deliberately, "That electromagnetic cannon was a gift I gave to Jiraiya-sensei for self-defense. He spends so much time in the chaotic Land of Rain; how could he manage without a reliable weapon?"

"Self-defense? Is that thing for self-defense?" Danzo roared.

"Even the most powerful weapon is still a tool. What's wrong with giving it to a teacher for self-defense? Besides..."

Nishikawa Tetsu turned around and looked towards the door.

"Orochimaru was aware of and approved of this matter."

The door was pushed open, and Orochimaru walked in.

He was wearing a white lab coat and holding a lab report in his hand; he had clearly been called in at the last minute.

"Orochimaru, tell me!" Danzo cried out as if grasping at a straw, "Did this kid...?"

"It was my suggestion."

Orochimaru interrupted Danzo, his voice hoarse and cold.

"Jiraiya, that idiot, is pretty strong, but he's all alone. You know he always likes to show off. He's still my comrade, so what's wrong with giving him some life-saving supplies?"

"You..." Danzo was stunned.

He never expected that Orochimaru would openly stand against him and offend him, a high-ranking member of the village, for the sake of a mere brat.

"Not only that."

Nishikawa Tetsu pulled a letter from his pocket.

"This is a handwritten letter that Jiraiya-sensei just sent back."

The third generation took the letter and glanced at it.

In the letter, Jiraiya explained in detail that he gave the electromagnetic gun to the three children in order to protect the three war orphans he was taking care of in the Land of Rain.

As for penicillin and cement, those were merely byproducts of his teaching the children how to earn wealth through labor. The cement imported from the Land of Rain when the Konoha Research Institute was built was the result of his work on connecting Nishikawa Tetsuya.

At the end of the letter, Jiraiya added a special sentence:

[Those rats hiding in the gutter, don't think I don't know who's behind this. When I get back to the village, I'll settle this score.]

"The evidence is conclusive."

The Third Hokage put down the letter, raised his head, and looked at Danzo with a complicated expression.

"I..." Danzo was about to speak and make excuses.

"Snapped!"

A scroll was slammed down at Danzo's feet.

"See for yourself."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was low and hoarse, suppressing emotions that were about to erupt like a volcano.

Danzo frowned and bent down to pick up the scroll.

That was a handwritten letter from Hanzo the Salamander, its contents extremely straightforward, even carrying a hint of sarcasm:

To His Hokage:

Regarding the "deal" proposed by your village advisor, Danzo Shimura, I only gave a perfunctory agreement, after all, our Amegakure cannot afford to offend your Konoha.

The Akatsuki is a legitimate organization that I acknowledge, and it is also an important partner of Amegakure. Why would I target them?

It's said that a rogue ninja attacked the Akatsuki organization. Could it be Danzo's doing?

Furthermore, I am deeply apprehensive about the request made by Lord Danzo in his letter to intercept the Land of Lightning's forces.

Amegakure had no intention of provoking a war between major powers, so it did not send a single soldier into the Land of Fire.

I am now returning the original of Lord Danzo's handwritten secret letter. I hope your village will handle this matter as it is, and not try to shift the blame onto me. I cannot afford to offend Konoha and Kumogakure.

The letter was accompanied by the secret letter that Danzo had originally sent to Hanzo.

"this……"

Danzo's pupils contracted sharply, and his hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

That old fox Hanzo! He actually betrayed him!

"This is slander, a divisive tactic!"

Danzo abruptly raised his head, crumpled the letter into a ball, veins bulging on his neck, and spoke in a fierce tone:

"Hiruzen! You'd rather believe someone from another village than your old comrade-in-arms? This letter isn't in my handwriting, and it doesn't have my seal. This is Hanzo's scheme; he wants us to fight amongst ourselves!"

"conspiracy?"

Nishikawa Tetsu asked at this moment. He really didn't expect that old bastard Hanzo would actually betray Danzo. He couldn't let go of this opportunity to kick a dog when it was down.

"Lord Danzo, Hanzo admitted that he attacked the Akatsuki, but he denied attacking Kumogakure. However, the Kumogakure delegation was indeed ambushed by elite troops on the border of the Land of Fire."

"If it wasn't the Rain Ninja who did it, then where did those 'wandering ninjas' come from? Our border patrols haven't found any suspicious wandering ninjas. The only ones who could evade the patrols are the villagers, right?"

"Danzo, what else do you have to say?" The Third Hokage took a deep drag on his pipe, utterly disappointed in his old friend.

"I..." Danzo opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.

His scheme was foiled by a combined effort from Nishikawa Tetsu, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya. And now, all the blame is being directed at him.

"You were the one who sent the false information, you were the one who contacted the Rain Ninja, and you're also involved in the attack on the Cloud Village, aren't you?"

The Third Hokage threw the letter of condemnation from the Land of Lightning in front of Danzo. It stated that Kumogakure had already interrogated the attackers, who turned out to be from Konoha, and questioned whether Konoha intended to start a war.

To be honest, the Third Hokage didn't believe that Kumogakure could get the talk of Danzo's assassins; they were probably just trying to take advantage of the situation and make a quick buck.

"Hiruzen, I did it for Konoha, I did it for the village's future..."

"That's enough!"

The Third Hokage slammed his hand on the table, interrupting his explanation. Jiraiya was, after all, his student.

"For Konoha? You'd betray your comrades for Konoha? You'd disregard the village's safety?"

The Third Hokage stood up, and his aura suddenly erupted, displaying the majesty of a sage.

"Pass on my order to convene a high-level meeting."

……

Ten minutes later, in the conference room.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado looked at the chain of evidence in front of them, their expressions turning extremely grim.

Although they usually favor Danzo, this time Danzo went too far.

They attacked the Cloud Village delegation, plotted against Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and even tried to provoke a war.

This has crossed Konoha's bottom line.

"Danzo..."

Xiaochun sighed, looking at her old friend of many years with disappointment in her eyes.

"You're really wrong this time."

"What Konoha needs now is stability and development, not endless intrigue and internal strife."

She could already foresee that the Hidden Cloud Village would definitely hold onto this matter relentlessly, and the Leaf Village would have to bleed!

Mitokado Homura nodded and looked at the Third Hokage: "Hiruzen, although Danzo was also doing it for the village, his radical approach is indeed no longer suitable for the current situation."

Danzo felt a chill run down his spine upon witnessing this scene.

He was abandoned by everyone.

He looked at Nishikawa Tetsu, the calm-looking boy standing in the corner.

It was this brat who gradually drove him to the brink of despair.

"A brilliant tactic... truly a brilliant tactic..."

Danzo gave a bitter laugh and threw away the cane in his hand.

"I admit defeat."

"Since you all find me an eyesore, then I'll just leave."

The Third Hokage looked at Danzo's hunched back as he suddenly looked away, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, but more so a resolute determination.

"Shimura Danzo is relieved of his position as leader of 'Root' effective immediately, but retains the honorary title of advisor. Go home... and retire."

"After the Root organization was disbanded and the restrictions on them were lifted, all members were incorporated into the Anbu and placed under the unified management of Hatake Sakumo."

"This is the final decision."

As the third generation finished speaking, an era came to an end.

On this day, the "roots" that had been intertwined underground in Konoha for many years were uprooted.
