Chapter 221: Chapter 221: The Elders’ Power is Revoked, and Root is Merged into the ANBU



"Did you deliver it? And how much?"

According to what the Third Hokage knew, Orochimaru hadn't crafted any chakra weapons for Nawaki.

This meant that the materials never made it to Orochimaru.

"Hiruzen, everything I did was for the village!"

Having been repeatedly mocked and questioned by the Third Hokage, Danzo finally snapped, yelling, "Isn't it right to reward the village's heroes and contributors?"

"Yes, of course it's right."

The Third Hokage let out a bitter laugh.

Koharu, standing to the side, kept signaling Danzō with her eyes, trying to get him to stop talking.

But Danzō paid her no mind.

Koharu rolled her eyes and gave up on him completely. If you won't listen to me, then you can deal with this mess yourself.

"Bang!"

The Third Hokage slammed his hands on the table and stood up.

"Danzō, let me ask you: who gave you the authority to pull resources from the logistics department?"

"It's my responsibility to decide who gets what rewards. I am the Hokage of this village!"

At a time like this, you're still trying to cover your tracks? As the Hokage's advisor, do you have the right to make such decisions? What do you take me for?!

"You..."

Danzō wanted to argue back, but he couldn't.

He wasn't the Hokage.

Everything the Third Hokage said was true. Every word felt like a sharp blade stabbing into Danzō's chest.

His face twitched, but eventually, he held his tongue, his expression dark and rigid.

Danzō finally lowered his head. The Third Hokage took a deep breath before asking, "Where's the rest of it?"

"Don't tell me you gave all of the chakra metal to Orochimaru. As far as I know, he hasn't crafted any chakra weapons for Nawaki."

The amount of chakra metal Danzō had taken wasn't small. It was enough to craft several

weapons.

Even a piece of metal the size of a fist was worth millions of ryō. The chakra metal Danzō took was worth several billion!

"It's gone."

After being pressured repeatedly, Danzō decided to just give up and admit it.

"I ordered Root members to deliver it to Orochimaru, but they were ambushed and killed as soon as they left the village."

Cough! Cough!

The Third Hokage suddenly remembered the recent attack on Root members outside the village. The thought hit him like a punch to the gut, and he began coughing violently.

No wonder Danzō had been so angry and anxious back then. He hadn't cared about the deaths of Root members or the village's reputation. What had really upset him was losing the chakra metal he had secretly taken.

"And what about the other batch of chakra metal?"

Taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage continued to question him, suppressing the fury bubbling inside. If he didn't control himself, he feared he'd lose it entirely.

Danzō closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

The rest of the chakra metal was still in his possession, but he had no intention of handing it

"Even if Danzō did this, he never would have taken resources from the logistics department without your approval. He didn't have the authority."

The Third Hokage's voice was cold as ice.

"And after you found out about it, instead of reporting it to me, you kept it hidden. You even helped him cover it up the second time. That makes you complicit, his accomplices."

"Both of you need to step back and reflect on your actions-figure out where you went

wrong."

"Hiruzen, we..."

"Get out. I'm tired."

The Third Hokage didn't want to hear any more excuses.

There was no point in listening.

The three of them had crossed the line, and the Third Hokage couldn't tolerate it.

He had to take away their power as a punishment, teach them a lesson, and possibly restore their authority later depending on the situation.

The Third Hokage knew he couldn't run the village without the help of his old comrades, which was why he had only taken away their authority and not their positions.

Had he removed their positions entirely, they'd be done for.

Meanwhile, unaware of what was happening in the Hokage's office, Takuya stared at Minato

in disbelief.

Minato, the always reliable "Little Sun," had even notified Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha. What was this, some kind of trial?

"I was just worried you were serious about giving up being a ninja," Minato said with a

sheepish smile.

Kushina, on the other hand, had no such reservations. With her hands on her hips, she

declared boldly, "Takuya, if those old guys at the Hokage's office are giving you trouble, then

quit! Tomorrow, I'll write up my own resignation and leave too. If it comes to it, I'll just take

care of you!"

She had the confidence of someone with wealth.

Takuya: "..."

Minato: "..."

Mikoto Uchiha: "..."
