Chapter 229 - 229 (1/2)

After the meeting, Minato and Ryo left the conference room to the office.

”Ryo, do you really have any evidence?” Minato anxiously asked as soon as he sat down.

Ryo smirked at Minato as he closed the door, and said: ”Ni san, even you believed that? You're too innocent for a Hokage!”

”Cough! Who said I believed you? I don't. I just think that it's bad for you to play such a risky game without true evidence.” Minato's face was red as he quickly explained.

”Well, even if you didn't believe, I want you to stand to my side, Ni san. The Sandaime and Danzo are coming, and you can't be too soft. We should at least get rid of Root this time; Danzo is too much of a threat!

When it came down to 'business', Minato was obviously serious: ”I know, don't worry about that.”

Just like Ryo said, a few minutes later, the 3rd and Danzo entered through the door. The latter stared at Ryo with contempt as soon as he entered.

”Hey Danzo san, don't you want me here? Alright, I'm going out to make a scroll fair in front of the office!” Ryo stood up, as if leaving.

The 3rd was surprised and he had to interfere: ”Ryo, he doesn't mean that! Don't be too implusive!”

”Ryo, don't make trouble! The Sandaime and Danzo san are your elders! Pay them their due respect.” Minato wanted to get down to business, so he had to interfere as well.

As if he was Orochimaru, Ryo licked his lips and sat back down, while the 3rd and Danzo went and sat on the opposite side.

”Minato, I've brought Danzo here so we could talk about what happened in the Rain Country. I don't have the details, but I have known Danzo for the longest time. He is absolutely loyal to Konoha!”

Minato was not angry, and he still asked very politely: ”Sandaime, did you ask Danzo san about the ones he cooperated with Hanzo to siege?”

Minato was very respectful in his speech to the 3rd, a man who dedicated his whole life to Konoha.

Hiruzen was surprised by the question, and immediately looked at Danzo's expression with some doubt.

”Minato, who are those three? Why should Konoha care about their fate so much?” Danzo asked Minato.

Hearing his words, Ryo frowned in wrath, his Chakra breaking out around him: ”Danzo san, Minato who?”

The 3rd looked at Ryo, somewhat dissatisfied with his behavior. However, he still did not understand how Danzo was speaking erratically.

When finding that his old friend wasn't interfering, Danzo could only yield and say: ”I… I was mistaken. Hokage Sama, who were those people?” He turned at Minato and asked again.

Ryo repressed his Chakra, and Minato answered slowly: ”Those three are the reason why Jiraya Sensei stayed in the Rain Country for three years; they are all Jiraya Sensei students!”

The third's face changed greatly, immediately asking: ”What? Are you sure?”

Ryo said with a cold smile: ”What Ni-san had said is all true. The three are named Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato. They are all Jiraya san's disciples. Now, Danzo san, if Jiraya san learns that you've killed his apprentice, what do you think he's going to do to you?”

Danzo's face was getting more and more gloomy; he had no idea about the trio's link to Jiraya.
