Chapter 12 - 12 (1/2)
Early the next morning, Konoha's council gathered in the Hokage's office. The hokage and his advisors, all turned to Danzo Shimura.
”How do you explain the knowledge of the whole village of Sakumo's mission details ?” The 3rd was really angry with Danzo.
While he trusts that Danzo works for the good of the village, and while he gives him with his Root group a lot of independence, it does not mean that he can tolerate harm to the people in the village. In his older days, he became softer and more lenient, but now, he is furious because of what happened to Sakumo
”Hiruzen, you're too soft! The ninja is a tool. It's unforgivable to fail because of his own feelings.”
”Let's relax and not lose it now. Isn't Sakumo alive? Why should we get angry!”one of the 2 advisers Koharu Utatane tried to calm Hiruzen down .
”I don't think that Danzo san did anything wrong. Actually, I think Sakumo san was wrong to give up his mission. Danzo san has made this matter open to the villagers and they have done nothing wrong.” The words of the other advisor, Homura Mitokado were in the other direction.
”Does that me that he should die?” the 3rd was really pissed off by the trio's attitude.
”You should not misunderstand me Hiruzen, I think that he should be responsible for his actions not die!” Homura's words made the 3rd slow down a bit.
”Knock Knock!” the Knocking door interrupted the conversation.
”Come in!”
Sakumo Hatake went in through the door and saluted the council with the due respect!
”Sakumo? You recovered? Why don't you take more rest?” the look on the faces of the Hokage and the rest of the council members was not too good due to their ongoing conversation.
”Hokage sama, do not worry. Ryo's medical ninjutsu was really amazing and I have nothing serious.”
”Oh? It's good to get your compliment. That little kid is really good!” The hokage was very pleased with the excellent new medical ninja.
”Hokage sama, I have something to ask you.”
As soon as he woke up last night, Sakumo was told by his wife that an Anbu was sent to his place.
With his wisdom and experience, Sakumo realized that this might have a relationship with Danzo. Danzo should know that Sakumo's pride would make him unable to accept living with being turned on by everyone including his nakama, and it would drive him to kill himself. With an anbu in his house, his doubts grew larger.
”If you have anything to say, please say it!”
”Hokage sama, did you send an anbu to my home yesterday?”
The hokage silently glanced at danzo and said:
”No, yesterday, none of my Anbu were out yesterday.”
”What about Danzo sama?”
