Chapter 614

Whether it was the one organized by the Hidden Leaf Village or this private one by Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru, many people died.

The former involved voluntary ninjas.

The latter was even more excessive, directly kidnapping people for experiments.

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo Shimura and asked, "What exactly have Itachi done?"

A suffocating aura surged over.

Danzo Shimura couldn't help but tremble.

He seemed to see that high-spirited Ninja Hero from back then again.

The reason Danzo Shimura had endured for so many years was because he had always been under the suppression of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It was just that as Hiruzen Sarutobi aged, the suppression gradually decreased.

But at this moment, Danzo Shimura felt as if he had returned to the past.

"See for yourself."

Seeing Danzo Shimura silent, Tsunade casually threw a scroll to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly opened the scroll.

This scroll was the one previously given by Itachi Uchiha, recording the data of the Gozu Tenno experiment.

Upon seeing that it was not a Wood Style experiment, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief.

If it really were a Wood Style experiment, it would probably be difficult to end things today.

But the Gozu Tenno experiment could not be brushed off with a single sentence either.

"Danzo, I need an explanation."

Hiruzen Sarutobi threw the scroll to Danzo Shimura.

Danzo Shimura opened the scroll, took a look, and understood.

No wonder Tsunade was so tough; it turned out she had evidence long ago.

"Hiruzen, everything I did was for the Hidden Leaf Village!"

Danzo Shimura said hurriedly, "Once the Gozu Tenno experiment succeeds, the Hidden Leaf Village will have..."

"Shut up!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said expressionlessly, "That's not what I want to hear!"

"..."

Danzo Shimura wanted to say something but stopped.

He understood Hiruzen Sarutobi and knew that he couldn't listen to any explanation at this time.

Most importantly, Tsunade was also there.

With solid evidence, the current Hiruzen Sarutobi must be a just and fair Hokage.

"I did indeed violate the rules of the Hidden Leaf Village and am willing to accept punishment."

Danzo Shimura said very unwillingly.

Since explanations were useless, he could only admit defeat.

Fortunately, he knew Hiruzen Sarutobi's soft heart, so there wouldn't be any excessive punishment.

"From today on, all experiments in the Root are canceled!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a serious expression.

"What?"

Danzo Shimura widened his eyes and shouted, "Hiruzen, Itachi can't! These experiments can provide powerful assistance to the Hidden Leaf Village!"

"For the Hidden Leaf Village? I think it's all for your Root!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said coldly, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter!"

"Just this little punishment?"

Hearing this, Tsunade reminded him, "Old man, the culprit is Danzo Shimura."

"Tsunade! Don't go too far!"

Danzo Shimura's face changed slightly and he said.

"Tsunade does have a point."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Dissolve the Root directly and cancel Danzo Shimura's position as the leader of the Root."

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo Shimura asked in disbelief, "Are Itachi crazy?!"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, but it was hard for her to say anything more.

Although she really wanted Hiruzen Sarutobi to arrest Danzo Shimura or even execute him, she understood that this was impossible.

However, the dissolution of the Root could be considered a pretty good success.

Without the Root, Danzo Shimura would become a commander without troops.

Itachi Uchiha was even more excited and clenched his fists.

If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, he would have wanted to laugh out loud.

Danzo Shimura was able to suppress the Uchiha clan because of the Root and his status as a high-level official of the Hidden Leaf.

Now that he had lost the Root, there would be no more sufficient manpower to deal with the Uchiha clan.

At the same time, Shisui Uchiha's revenge was half-completed.

For the other half, Itachi Uchiha estimated that he would have to wait until Tsunade became Hokage.

"I think Itachi are the one who is crazy! Don't Itachi know what Itachi have done yourself?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo Shimura and said, "If it weren't for your past contributions to the Hidden Leaf Village, it wouldn't be as simple as dissolving the Root!"

Although dissolving the Root was an impromptu decision, he felt it was a very normal decision.

Since its establishment, the Root had done too many things that violated the rules of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could endure it before because he was the Hokage and could suppress Danzo Shimura.

But if Tsunade became Hokage, with her temper, her approach would definitely be completely different from his.

It could be foreseen that Tsunade would most likely have conflicts with Danzo Shimura and the Root.

This would not only make outsiders laugh but also cause turmoil within the Hidden Leaf Village.

Between Tsunade and Danzo Shimura, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely choose the former.

To avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, he would dissolve the Root first.

"Itachi... Itachi..."

Danzo Shimura was so scared that he took half a step back.

He heard a strong threat from these words.

Is this still the Hiruzen Sarutobi he knew?

"Haru, immediately call all the Anbu members in the village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't give Danzo Shimura any chance and said directly, "Seal the Root first, then clean it up."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

After Haru finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

"Hiruzen, Itachi will regret this!"

Danzo Shimura's eyes were splitting with anger, and his heart was filled with unspeakable anger and grief.

He had worked hard for most of his life, and now that he had lost power, he was naturally unwilling.

Most importantly, after losing the Root, he was getting further and further away from the position of Hokage.

He could outlive Hiruzen Sarutobi, but could he outlive Tsunade?

This was impossible!

Once Tsunade became Hokage, he would have no more chances.

No, it couldn't be like this!

He must stop Tsunade!

"Itachi are old too, go home and rest."

Hiruzen Sarutobi met his gaze, sighed in his heart, and said.

Danzo Shimura was stunned.

He had rarely not heard that line, 'Danzo, I am the Hokage,' but this abnormality only showed the seriousness of the matter.

Am I old?

Danzo Shimura turned and left without looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi again.

If Itachi are heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous!

It was impossible for him to admit he was old.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his figure and shook his head.

He hoped his old partner would stop here.

The Hidden Leaf Village is now thriving and does not allow him to mess around.

"Tsunade."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head to look at Tsunade and said, "I promise that no one will ever use the First Hokage's cells for experiments again."

"It better be that way!"

Tsunade gave a light hum and said.

"I will have the Sealing Team reinforce the seal on the First Hokage's tomb later."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and added.

Kitazawa suddenly thought of Orochimaru.

He wondered if he would ever reanimate Hashirama Senju again.

But with Orochimaru's ability, if he really wanted to steal it, the Sealing Team's seal wouldn't be able to stop him.

"Mm."

Tsunade's attitude softened upon hearing this.

At least Hiruzen Sarutobi had done what he should have done, and she had nothing to complain about.

Although Danzo Shimura's rampant behavior was essentially because of his favoritism.

"Old man, I'll leave this to Itachi; I'll go first."

Tsunade waved her hand and said.

The faint smell of blood in the air made her very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she didn't see blood directly, and combined with Yakumo Kurama's treatment, which was indeed effective, she didn't feel any discomfort.

"After dealing with the Root, I will send the Anbu to give Itachi the specific results."

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood her personality and didn't say anything more.

"Kitazawa."

Tsunade called out and walked outside.

"Excuse me, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa hurriedly followed.
