Chapter 62

He merely turned back, took a sip of bitter liquor, then looked toward Bofengshui Sect.

"Water Gate, what exactly is going on? Why did Changmen meet with you? Do you know him? If my memory serves, you two had no connection—and why did Changmen insist on killing Danzo?"

Jiraiya stared at Bofengshui Sect, his voice heavy: "Do you know what happened after I left the Rain Hidden Village?"

"Master, I called you back precisely because of this." Bofengshui Sect's eyes flickered slightly. "It's a long story—do you have the patience to hear it out?"

"Of course I do."

The livestream ended abruptly here.

Clearly, Bofengshui Sect had deliberately cut the livestream.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "???"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "???"

Miss Xia Shizi: "???"

My Little Sister Is Way Too Unlikable: "It just ended like this? Isn't that a bit too rushed? I thought they were going to discuss some world-shaking conspiracy—or maybe even kill Danzo… But all they did was meet, say nothing, and part ways. What's going on here?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Just meeting once is enough! A single meeting already signifies a connection has formed—and the Fourth Hokage used Jiraiya to further solidify their master-brother bond… Or did you really expect them to do something concrete? Kill Danzo?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Danzo is undoubtedly one of the greatest scapegoats in the Hidden Leaf World—anything wrong gets thrown onto him, and it's usually correct. But you must understand one thing: at least for now, Danzo has done nothing to betray the Fourth Hokage. In name, everything Danzo does is for the Hidden Leaf."

My Little Sister Is Way Too Unlikable: "Even so, I still don't get it… What's the problem with killing Danzo?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "The problem is huge! Danzo is still one of the Hidden Leaf's top figures! If the village leader suddenly kills a top figure without cause, what do you think will happen?"

My Little Sister Is Way Too Unlikable: "!!!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "What the Fourth Hokage will do next is surely to gather evidence of Danzo's betrayal—then pin him firmly to the rack of shame, so he can be publicly condemned and finally killed. If the Fourth Hokage gathers enough irrefutable proof, even the Third Hokage won't be able to overturn it."

Su Xiao Xiao: "This approach is far superior to blindly storming the Root Organization with Xuanwozhang Sect and killing Danzo outright… After all, acting now without cause is meaningless—and could very well lead to a split between Water Gate and the Hidden Leaf."

Symbol of Peace: "Terrifying. Truly terrifying."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Hmm… If things reach that point, doesn't that mean our leader is leading a rebellion?"
