Konoha's Hypocrite

Chapter 67

Two days later, in the Hokage conference room.

The patriarchs of all races and Konoha high-levels sat together.

Of course, it also includes Hatake Sakumo and Aburame Ryoma as the captain of Anbu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that everyone was already there, and coughed slightly:

“Ahem, I believe everyone has been aware of the mission of the Kingdom of River recently.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen just finished speaking.

The patriarch of the Aburame clan stood up immediately and bowed deeply to Sarutobi Hiruzen, “Master Hokage, please give Ryoma a chance.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a cigarette and ignored the patriarch of the Aburame clan, and said to himself:

“The failure of the mission has caused serious losses to the village. This responsibility needs to be borne by people.

Ryoma, what do you think. ”

After speaking, he stared at Aburame Ryoma with meaningful eyes.

I saw Aburame Ryoma stand up in the eyes of everyone, bowed blankly and said, “Master Hokage, please don’t punish Master White Fang.”

When everyone heard it, the gaze at Aburame Ryoma immediately became weird.

Even Hatake Shumo himself has been trapped.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said, “What do you mean.”

Aburame Ryoma said silently: “Ninjas should be mission-centric.

In order to save the hostages, the subordinates did not hesitate to be severely poisonous and asked Master White Fang to rescue the hostages.

But I didn’t expect Master White Fang to do his own thing, abandon the task, and exchange the hostage for the antidote.

Let the subordinates’ efforts in vain. ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t expect that Aburame Ryoma would beat him upside down, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

“You mean this is White Fang’s fault.”

Aburame Ryoma nodded and said:

“Yes, the subordinates did not do anything against the ninja’s duty during the mission, and were even willing to use their lives to complete the mission.

But Master White Fang had already completed the task, but he still had to give up. He didn’t deserve to be a ninja at all.

But thinking that Master White Fang was trying to save his subordinates, his subordinates were unwilling to punish him by Master Hokage.

Master Hokage can ask Master White Fang if his subordinates asked him to save me. ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the silent Hatake Sakumo, and then smiled back:

“Okay, you explained it well, even if it is White Fang’s negligence.

But in the final analysis, it’s because you lost the poison in your hands. Isn’t it that you are not responsible? ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen had just finished speaking, but he was taken aback and realized that he had said something wrong.

At this moment, Danzo couldn’t wait to say:

“Hiruzen, it was White Fang who did the wrong thing, not Ryoma.

Ryoma is just lack of strength, even if he died in the mission, no one would say anything.

But it makes no sense to ask him to bear this responsibility.

As Hokage, how can you blatantly let Ryoma commit the crime to White Fang?

This didn’t make Konoha’s ninjas chill. ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen eagerly explained: “I didn’t mean that…”

Danzo immediately snorted coldly:

“Even if you didn’t mean it, but in what you said just now, you already acquiesced in White Fang’s fault.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and looked at the senior officials and patriarchs and said: “Everyone should see who is at fault in this matter.”

But none of the senior Konoha and these patriarchs were old fried dough sticks, and they all thought that it was nothing to do with them.

Now it will offend people no matter what.

Saying it was Ryoma’s fault, then it would offend Danzo and the Aburame clan.

Saying that it was White Fang’s fault, then he would offend Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Sakumo.

Danzo saw that no one had spoken to help Hatake Sakumo, and smiled in his heart: Hiruzen, you still don’t understand people’s hearts.

“Anyway, I saw at a glance that it was White Fang’s fault. As a ninja, it is a mistake to not focus on tasks.

White Fang, would you like to defend yourself? ”

Danzo learned the way of Sarutobi Hiruzen and let the person speak for themselves.

However, Hatake was originally proud and was not good at playing this kind of language confrontation. He stammered:

“I…….”

Danzo sneered in his heart, pretending to be concerned, and said:

“You can explain why you, as a ninja, have to give up the mission halfway, is it true that your companion is more important than the mission in your heart.”

“Yes.” Hatake nodded in response.

Danzo heard Hatake Sakumo admit that a successful smile appeared on his face, and he said to Sarutobi Hiruzen:

“The ninja is just a tool, and the task is more important than anything else.

This is the promise of each village to the employer.

When the employer releases the task, do we have to tell them that if the task is dangerous, we will give priority to saving our companions. ”

As soon as Danzo’s voice fell, Hatake Sakumo immediately knelt toward Sarutobi Hiruzen on one knee:

“Sorry, this task is my dereliction of duty, I am willing to accept punishment.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave Danzo angrily, and said solemnly:

“I am opposed to punishing White Fang. After all, White Fang has made merits for Konoha and performed countless S-level missions.

His credit can make up for this time. ”

Danzo’s goal has been achieved. It doesn’t matter whether Sarutobi Hiruzen punishes Hatake Sakumo.

As long as someone bears the responsibility.

Danzo stood up leisurely and said in a victorious tone:

“I don’t want to continue the discussion. If you want to vote on whether to punish White Fang, just count my negative vote.”

“Let’s go Ryoma, there is nothing to do with us here.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo’s leaving back with a sullen face, and then turned his gaze to everyone present.

But everyone present chose to avoid Sarutobi Hiruzen’s gaze.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hatake Sakumo who was kneeling aside again, and sighed:

“Let’s go away.”

“White Fang, you recently went home to take a good rest. Konoha will depend on you in the future.”

“Yes…….”

Danzo, who walked out of the Hokage building, after confirming that no one was watching around, he whispered to Aburame Ryoma:

“While Sarutobi Hiruzen hasn’t reacted yet.

Disseminate the content of today’s meeting as quickly as possible. ”

“Yes.”

……..

Only a few days later.

The whole Konoha rumors spread.

The object of the villagers’ verbal criticism was changed from Aburame Ryoma to Hatake Sakumo.

“How could Lord White Fang make such a stupid mistake this time?

Aburame Ryoma is willing to exchange his life for the ten-year mission of the country of the river.

But he has to give up the task. ”

“A big man like him doesn’t lack money at all. He doesn’t care about the life and death of the bottom ninja.”

“That Aburame Ryoma is from Anbu, and White Fang is Captain Anbu.

Big people like White Fang don’t look down on money anymore, and they value power even more.

I guess he gave up the mission to gain the allegiance of Aburame Ryoma. ”

“Is it so deep? I didn’t even see it.”

“Third Generation is no longer young, and may have begun to secretly look for successors in the past few years.

White Fang definitely wants to compete for the position of Hokage. ”

“Hiss~ Your explanation is too reasonable.”

“There are only a few people in the Hatake family now, as long as White Fang becomes Hokage.

The Hatake family will become a wealthy family in a few years. ”

“Why is he so selfish, Isshin only thinks about himself and his family.”

“What you said, why do others think of us.”

“No matter what others think, when White Fang wants to run for Hokage, I will be the first to object.”

“Stop talking, White Fang is here, if he hears it, you will be over.”

“I’m not afraid.”
