The Chunin Exams are about to begin, and it's really inappropriate to change the Hokage now. Anyway, it's only a month at most, so I can afford to wait.
Daimyo:
- "So, where is the murderer?"
Sandaime said:
- "The initial suspicion is that it was Uchiha Itachi, because Uchiha Itachi was near Konoha on the day of the incident."
- "That day, Itachi Uchiha came near Konoha, used the summoning beast crow to carry a large number of explosive tag's, and rushed directly into my office, causing a horrific explosion."
He actually wanted to say that the murderer was Mizuki, and then take the opportunity to attack Mizuki, using the strength of the whole village to kill or even capture Mizuki alive.
But again, there is no evidence.
Daimyo and Officials of the Daimyo's Prefecture cannot be fooled by just a few words.
You said Mizuki was the murderer, but where is the evidence?
What, no evidence?
Do you really think that my name is a fool, and you just want to scare this matter away by finding someone to blame?
Do you no longer want funds to Konoha? Does the Hokage Tower not want to be renovated? Does the ninja not want to eat?
And if Uchiha Itachi is thrown away, Daimyo will have nothing to say.
Itachi Uchiha was a missing-ninja and attacked Konoha out of hatred. This is probably a good reason.
Uchiha Itachi did appear near Konoha, he wasn't just wandering around.
Sure enough, when he heard the words Uchiha Itachi, Daimyo's eyes immediately became solemn:
- "That missing-ninja who slaughtered the entire Uchiha Clan? Only such a person could successfully attack the Hokage Tower."
He had no doubt at all and directly identified Uchiha Itachi as the murderer of the attack on Konoha.
Sandaime looked confused:
- "You also know Uchiha Itachi's strength. It is a bit difficult to capture him. Moreover, the Chunin exam is coming soon, and the village cannot spare manpower, so I ask the Daimyo to give him more time."
Daimyo said:
- "I don't care whether it's difficult or not, anyway..."
Before he finished speaking, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open. The sound of the door opening attracted everyone's attention, and daimyo's words were interrupted.
Daimyo was unhappy, but when he saw the people coming in, he didn't dare to say anything.
The door opened and Danzo walked in, followed by two people, one large and one small.
Third Hokage scolded:
- "Danzo, what are you doing here? You have been relieved of your duties now. You are not qualified to participate in this meeting."
Danzo ignored Sandaime but looked at Daimyo:
- "Lord Daimyo, Hiruzen is lying to you. The murderer of this explosion is not Uchiha Itachi at all, but a special jounin in the village, Mizuki."
Sandai slammed the table, stood up and shouted:
- "Danzo, shut up and get out immediately!"
Danzo, who had always obeyed Hiruzen's advice in the past, was disobedient this time.
Sandaime made such a big mistake this time, and his prestige in the hearts of the villagers dropped to an all-time low.
He was blamed by Daimyo again and was about to take the blame and resign. Danzo already felt disdain for such Hiruzen.
A Hokage who is about to step down does not deserve my respect and obedience.
Daimyo asked:
- "Elder Danzo, you said the murderer was Mizuki, do you have any evidence?"
Danzo smiled, turned around and pointed at the two people behind him, one large and one small, and said:
- "The two of them are the evidence."
These two people, one is the director of the orphanage, and the other is Nobita.
