Chapter 77 Picking up a Boss (3)
At the entrance to the root base, Namikaze's facade looked like frost, and he barged straight in from the outside.
Behind him, three men in black robes followed closely.
The root member on duty spotted the visitor from a distance. When he saw that the leader was a ninja wearing a Jonin uniform, he was about to order him to stop for inspection as usual.
But then, he recognized the identity of the blond man with some trepidation.
He hurriedly stepped aside, nodded and asked with lowered eyebrows: "Hokage-sama..., why did you come to the root to...?"
However, Namikaze Minato just replied lightly: I'm looking for the leader of the roots.
He ignored him and continued walking inside without stopping. The root ninja on duty suddenly panicked when he saw this. Soon after Namikaze Minato and the others entered, they immediately used a special method to notify the arrival of the Fourth Hokage inside.
Because the root base is underground, there are winding staircase tunnels for a long time as you walk inside.
Only on the walls on both sides, at intervals, would there be a light.
Yakushi Nonou followed Minato Namikaze all the way, feeling a little uneasy. She didn't know what the Fourth Hokage wanted to do, but judging from the slight coldness in his expression, he was looking for the root leader group. Hiding accountability?
I'm afraid this is unlikely, right?
As for the other two root members who were responsible for monitoring Nonoyu, they were equally terrified.
Obviously they didn't say anything, but Namikaze Minato seemed to know everything about the orphanage.
After walking to the deepest point, a spacious hall comes into view.
To Namikaze Minato's surprise, the man with his right eye wrapped in a bandage, his right arm hanging with his left hand leaning on a cane, seemed to be waiting there early.
Behind him were Aburame Ryoma and another root member wearing a mask.
"The Fourth Hokage suddenly came to visit the roots. I wonder what happened?"
Danzo Shimura's expression remained as usual, and he seemed to have been prepared in his heart, so he took the lead in asking.
"I would like to ask Mr. Danzo to give a reasonable explanation for the orphanage matter..."
Namikaze Minato had no expression on his face and asked straight to the point.
Obviously, although Danzo was prepared, he still didn't expect that Namikaze Minato would ask so directly, and what made him even more unexpected was that the other party seemed to already know everything.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but suddenly turned his gaze to the three people behind Namikaze Minato.
However, they saw Yakushi Nonou and the two root members with somewhat surprised looks in their eyes. It seemed that they had just realized that being able to ask this question meant that Namikaze Minato already knew the ins and outs of the matter.
"Orphanage? What does the Yondaime mean?"
Because he was extremely confident in his curse seal, Danzo hesitated for a moment and then pretended not to know.
Danzo's question also made Namikaze Minato react. So far, it seems that no one has reported Danzo's threat to the orphanage.
Nonoyu just asked him about the aid fund.
This is a bit embarrassing...
It's like skipping the process of accepting a lawsuit and going directly to file an investigation.
Even so, Namikaze Minato is a time traveler after all, and at the same time has the identity of the Fourth Hokage. He is very clear about what the Pot King is doing.
It's a settled fact, and you have to admit the crime even if it's a fraud.
Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato asked again calmly: "I recently received news that the leader of Konoha's top leaders has done something that damages the reputation of the village."
"He used despicable tricks and seriously lowered the impression of Konoha ninjas among people outside the village..."
"Lord Danzo, do you admit this?"
This can be regarded as one of the benefits of being a Hokage, because the head of a village has a strong information channel. Even if he falsely claims that he knows about this matter, can you, Danzo, still ask me where I got the information?
What's more, Danzo actually did this...
However, he still underestimated the shamelessness of the pot king.
Although a trace of surprise flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes, he still said calmly: "What exactly did the Yondaime say?"
"Is it possible that someone has framed me and I have to admit it?"
Seeing this scene, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel a little angry and laughed.
Having reached this point, you can still continue to be shameless. In a sense, it is indeed a skill.
But it's a pity that I even brought witnesses. If you still don't admit your account, it won't be interesting...
Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato decided not to show any mercy, his face turned cold, and then he asked loudly: "A few days ago, you took people to the orphanage, in the name of the aid fund that the village had already approved, Threatened the dean, pharmacist No Naiyu, to work for himself."
"Do you admit this?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Danzo, but also the other root members and the pharmacist Nonou himself were shocked.
What Danzo didn't expect was that Namikaze Minato actually knew everything about this matter.
What surprised Yakushi Nonou was that the Fourth Hokage knew everything about the matter and was willing to stand up for her and the orphanage...
When things got to this point, Danzo had no choice but to believe that it seemed that if he had not been detected by Namikaze Minato's spy when he took people to the orphanage a few days ago, then it must have been because the orphanage did not want to be coerced, and Reported the matter to Namikaze Minato.
After a long period of uncertain eyes, Shimura Danzo suddenly smiled coldly, and then said calmly: "The fourth generation may have misunderstood this matter..."
"The so-called threat does not exist at all."
"I recalled the director of the orphanage, Yakushi Nono, just to assign her a task."
"In fact, she originally belonged to the Root Ninja."
"This is just a normal task assignment, how can it be called coercion?"
After hearing what Danzo said, Yakushi Nono's brown eyes suddenly flashed with anger.
And the same is true for Minato Namikaze.
But the shrewd Danzo seemed to have guessed what the two were thinking, and suddenly continued: "Yakushi Nono, if you want to say that you have long left the Root and your identity information as a ninja has been destroyed, then you are wrong..."
"As long as you work for Konoha, the Root will immediately show your identity information."
"If the Fourth Generation wants to check, the Root can take out this identity card at any time."
This statement is indeed irrefutable.
Even Nono, who originally wanted to refute, had to fall silent again after thinking about the fact that her information was registered before she accepted the mission.
At this point, the mission has been accepted, and it is useless to say anything else...
"Then, what about the child named Kabuto in the orphanage?"
Minato Namikaze thought for a moment, suddenly changed the topic, and continued to question.
