Chapter – 800 Punishing the Traitor

"You… you are Orochimaru's eyeliner in Konoha?" asked Elder Aoyama.

Mizuki nodded with a dull expression, "Yes, Orochimaru-sama instructed me to keep a close eye on Hyuga Kuroto."

Listening to Mizuki's confession, the expression of the members of the council became gloomy. Especially Elder Aoyama – he couldn't believe what he just heard.

As Mizuki continued to tell all the details about his contact with Orochimaru, the expression of Elder Aoyama became more and more aghast.

Other than fear, Elder Aoyama also felt deeply ashamed.

He believed that he was in control of the entire situation, he thought that he was taking advantage of Mizuki's ambition and directing the situation as he desired, however, it turns out that it's the exact opposite, the one taking advantage was Mizuki and he was being used by the man who he thought is a foolish man.

And since Mizuki confessed everything, the situation has completely changed. Things are completely out of control. Let alone him, even the Hyuga Clan can not do anything in this matter.

Until a while ago, this conference was the result of internal conflict among the Hyuga clansmen, however, the sudden changes and development of the matter have exceeded everyone's expectations.

This matter is really related to Orochimaru, the only difference is that the one who was accused of being the traitor is actually the victim here, while the one who was accused turns out to be the actual traitor.

Although Orochimaru is no longer such a big threat to the village in comparison to the Akatsuki Organization, he is still a traitor who knows too many secrets about Konoha. Orochimaru was also responsible for the kidnapping of Uzumaki Naruto and the young lady of the Hyuga Clan.

Getting involved with Orochimaru and sending him any kind of information is undoubtedly a betrayal to the village.

Not to mention, Mizuki didn't just send information about the secrets of the village to Orochimaru, he even falsely accused a member of the council.

If both crimes are counted, anything less than the Death Penalty won't suffice.

As someone who worked together with Mizuki, he too can not escape the responsibility. Knowing this, Elder Aoyama's back turned cold.

Seeing Elder Aoyama's fearful expression, Kuroto muttered, "So it turns out that you are a traitor, huh? I wonder how we treat the traitors in the Anbu these days?"

'He… he really wants to do this?!' thought Elder Aoyama in panic.

Shisui said tacitly, "I am not sure what is the tradition these days, back when we were in the Anbu at that time…"

Kuroto smirked, and said, "Since we don't know the current rules, let's just go along with the rules of our time. You know what to do."

"Very well." Nodded Shisui as he looked at Mizuki for a moment, then calmly turned around and returned to his seat.

At the same time, Mizuki started to stiffly approach the gate and left the conference room.

While everyone was confused, one of the shinobi standing guards outside the conference room hurriedly walked inside and reported to Hiruzen, "Hokage-sama, bad news… Mizuki-san crushed his own heart and fell from the top floor of the building!"

Sandaime looked at Kuroto, then at Shisui, and sighed as he waved his hand, "I know, just collect his body and send it to the Konoha Hospital for disposal. There is no need for any funeral."

"Uh… o-okay!" the guard was taken aback for a moment and confused, but Hokage-sama had already given the order, so he didn't voice anything and left the room after a bow.

After the guard left, the atmosphere in the conference room became weird and all the members of the council looked at Kuroto silently sitting in his seat.

There is nothing wrong with executing the traitor Mizuki, however, this decision is in Hokage's hands. Even if Kuroto is the Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy, he has no authority to make such a decision.

Even Hiruzen was looking at Kuroto strangely. This entire conference has become a joke, and it's obvious that the false accusation from his own people has annoyed Kuroto. Therefore, Sandaime chose to remain silent and allowed Kuroto to vent his grievances.

Unlike Sandaime, others were not the same, some even wanted to confront Kuroto, however, Kuroto's calmness and uncharacteristic coldness displayed by Uchiha Shisui a while ago made everyone realize not to mess with Kuroto at this time.

'It seems the person named Hyuga Kuroto has to be re-evaluated.' Such a thought appeared in everyone's mind.

The presence of Uchiha Shisui made everyone realize that Kuroto can not be underestimated.

As for Mizuki's execution, no one except Elder Aoyama cared.

Oh, it's not that Elder Aoyama cares, it's just that he is afraid. He fears that he might end up the same way as Mizuki. In the past, Kuroto has once again demonstrated that 'Caged Bird' doesn't deter him, as a result, any psychological advantage that he had over Kuroto has disappeared.

Hiashi was anxious. He didn't expect that no one scolded Kuroto for what he did just now, not even Hokage-sama. He couldn't help but think that if Kuroto also did the same to Elder Aoyama, would anyone stop him?

The others were also wondering about Kuroto's next move, will he deal with Hyuga Aoyama in the same way as he dealt with Mizuki?

Just as Hiashi was worried, Kuroto asked, "Hokage-sama, is there anything else that needs to be discussed in this meeting?" Kuroto's words were respectful, and a little apologetic.

Unexpectedly, he ignored the presence of Elder Aoyama.

Seeing that Kuroto didn't want to let the matter continue, Sandaime breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "Since no other points are to be discussed, let's end this meeting here." And adjourned the Council meeting.

Kuroto nodded, and without saying anything he got up and left after a bow.

Kuroto's actions confused many. They were surprised that Kuroto didn't do anything to Hyuga Aoyama.

What they didn't know was that there was a reason he ignored Hyuga Aoyama. He has a plan in which the old man will play an important role, he must continue to live until then.

While Kuroto was walking out of the Conference room, Shisui was going to follow him, however, just as he got up, Fugaku stopped him, "I need to speak with you."

Shisui nodded and followed Fugaku.

After the two Uchiha left the Hokage Building, Fugaku questioned Shisui, "What were you doing Shisui?"

Shisui was confused, and asked, "What do you mean Fugaku-sama?"

Fugaku said, "Didn't you notice that this was a good opportunity for us? If Hyuga Kuroto was suspected, he would have lost his position, and you would have got it, which is beneficial for the Uchiha Clan. Why did you help him? That too without my permission!?"

Shisui was taken aback by Fugaku's question and chose to remain silent.

Noting Shisui's silence, Fugaku said with a sigh, "Moreover, you activated your Mangekyou Sharingan in the Council, don't ever do that again! Have you forgotten that there are repercussions of using Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Shisui remained silent.

Fugaku was dissatisfied with Shisui's silence, and said with a sullen expression, "Don't forget that you are an Uchiha, not a Hyuga."

"I understand." Said Shisui, then disappeared.

Fugaku narrowed his eyes, and thought, 'It seems Shisui won't fight for the position of Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy.'

Today's farce against Hyuga Kuroto made Fugaku realize a lot of things.

When Shisui took action, no one dared to interfere. This means a lot, if he uses this deterrence in the right way, the Uchiha will finally have a Hokage.
