Chapter 517 - 511 : Hiruzen’s Decision!

Chapter 517: Chapter 511 : Hiruzen's Decision!

Seeing how serious Hiruzen was, no one spoke a word. Everyone except Danzo and the Anbu Guards began leaving the office. Hiruzen suddenly realized something and said, "Fujin, take the Anbu Guards with you. Hand over the Root ninjas you captured to them."

Fujin nodded and said, "Alright."

The Anbu Guards followed him out. As the group began walking out of the building, Homura said, "Fujin, I can understand that you were angry due to the situation, but refrain from threatening other council members in the future. It won't do you or the council any good."

Homura still remembered how brazenly Fujin had threatened Koharu. While he spoke, his tone wasn't overbearing. He spoke as if he was an elder trying to pass wisdom to the young. Hence, no one tried refuting him on the spot.

Fujin nodded and said, "Sorry about that. I was just making a point. Besides, if I really intended to do something like that, I would have just done it. Why would I speak about it and draw suspicions?"

Once again, Fujin's words caught everyone's attention. The two elders and the clan leaders all stared at Fujin. They were forced to reevaluate him once again. Sweat appeared on Homura and Koharu's faces. Fujin's words implied that they need to be more worried about him when he doesn't speak instead of otherwise.

In a way, that was a far greater threat than what he had said in Hiruzen's office. Another way of looking at his words was that if something actually happened to Koharu, he shouldn't be considered a suspect because he wouldn't do something so stupid. It removed all responsibility from him while increasing the threat to Koharu several times.

Before anyone could say anything, Fujin said, "Anyway, it's been a long day and a bloody night. I'll take my leave for now. Stay safe. If the attacker is still in the village, then he might target others as well."

Without waiting for anyone's reply, he flickered out of the building. The Anbu Guards followed him to his house.

Koharu cursed under her breath, "This brat..."

Senju Hiromasa chuckled and said, "The boy is still too young. Don't take his words to heart."

Shikaku agreed and said, "I haven't seen him act like this before. I guess Danzo's actions truly infuriated him this time. Not only did he leave Root unguarded, but he also sent someone with such a dangerous ability to spy on him."

Inoichi added, "Still, his ability to control his emotions is truly unbelievable. At 15, I would have exploded in rage if someone had done that against me in the village."

Hiruzen said, "I am disappointed in you, Danzo."

Danzo displayed some anger and asked, "Do you want to say that my instincts are wrong?"

Hiruzen replied, "It doesn't matter what your instincts say. You are way out of line with your behavior. There is nothing suspicious about Fujin. You only showed interest in him once he became very strong."

Hiruzen's expression hardened as he said, "Fujin's and Shikaku's words are true. From today onwards, I can't allow Root to operate inside the village."

Danzo's eyes widened on hearing that. He never expected Hiruzen to say something like that. His expression became grim. He was angry for real. He asked in a grim tone, "What are you implying?"

Hiruzen said, "If I let you continue doing what you are right now, it is inevitable that you'll try to eliminate him the same way you tried killing Shisui. If you hadn't meddled back then, then perhaps the Uchiha clan would still be in the village and things might have taken a turn for the better.

I can't change what has already happened. However, if you display even a bit of intention of harming Fujin or any other ninja in the village..."

Hiruzen's expression became extremely serious as he stared into Danzo's eye. He said, "Then I won't show you the same mercy that I showed Orochimaru!"
