Acting on the Third Hokage’s final orders, I eliminated him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Rojie paused slightly, his gaze shifting to Yamato Inoichi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brilliant intellect activated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yamato, Clan Chief, take Danzo’s corpse to the Analysis Unit to extract intelligence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Check whether any of Danzo’s remnants remain hidden within the village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Rojie’s view, Danzo and Orochimaru had long been colluding; even if Danzo hadn’t directly participated in the collapse plan, he must have known far too much about its inner workings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intelligence extracted from Danzo’s mind would not harm Rojie—it would instead nail Danzo firmly to the pillar of shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, perhaps the two advisors had their own secret dealings with Danzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they didn’t, couldn’t we just smear them with dirt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rojie’s good father-in-law would surely catch on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamato Inoichi nodded, stepping forward to seal and carry away Danzo’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Tounin Koharu could no longer sit still—she suddenly spoke to stop him: “No. Danzo was a high-ranking official of the Hidden Leaf; his mind holds many secrets. They cannot be exposed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rojie turned to Tounin Koharu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Advisor Tounin, Itachi’re making this very difficult for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tounin Koharu sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As head of the Root, Danzo performed many dirty tasks for the Hidden Leaf. Those deeds must never be revealed, or they will shake the village from within and without.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things seem weightless until weighed—then even a thousand jin won’t be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Tounin Koharu feared she herself might be dragged into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if resigned to her fate, she spoke: “Rojie, nominating a Hokage will take several days. I nominate Itachi as Acting Hokage to manage the village’s affairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rojie’s face lit up with a satisfied smile: “Then, as the Advisor commands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured to Nara Shikamaru to bring a document, placing it before Tounin Koharu for her signature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tounin Koharu took the document, scanned it quickly, then bit her lip and signed her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a humiliating day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1153,"2026-06-20T22:07:49.142Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","67895659a37470b536d17ae7ad1a2b3a4b42a5af89352f3edd4b7b1739440c16","simultaneously-transmigrated-everyone-s-an-abstr-chapter-46","simultaneously-transmigrated-everyone-s-an-abstr-chapter-44",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-everyone-s-an-abstr-cover.jpg"]
