Chapter 563 The Advisors Resign

"Hokage-sama, three advisors are here."

Genma's voice interrupted the conversation between Minato and Kanpū.

Minato casually lifted the seal in the office so that his voice could be heard: "Please let the advisors in."

"Yes."

A few seconds later, Koharu, Homura and walked in.

"Gekko Kanpū, it's better for you to be here."

When Koharu saw Kanpū was also here, her old face suddenly showed displeasure, and she said, "It also saves us from calling you again."

Kanpū smiled shyly at her, and at the same time giving 'heartfelt greeting' to her family in his heart.

"Yondaime, look at this." Homura stepped forward and put the ten injury diagnosis reports in his hand on the desk.

Minato flipped through it casually, and after knowing what's going on, he smiled slightly and said: "I already know about this matter."

"Since Yondaime know…"

Koharu glanced at Kanpū and said, "Then, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

"Kanpū has already told me the whole story. I wonder, do Advisor Koharu and Advisor Homura already know?" Namikaze Minato asked.

Koharu nodded: "Gekko Kanpū arbitrarily mobilizes the spy Danzo put in Iwagakure…"

"Is the spy referring to Yakushi Nono?" Minato interrupted she.

Koharu glanced at Danzo and saw that the latter nodded, so she replied: "Yes."

"But Yakushi Nono has withdrawn from the Root and is not under Advisor Danzo's jurisdiction." Minato said.

"Even if she has quitted the Root, Yakushi Nono is still Konoha's Shinobi!" Koharu said with a snort.

"So you can use threat to coerce Konoha's Shinobi to be a spy in Iwagakure?"

Minato's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice, "If this is the case, can I also threaten you to be an undercover in Kumogakure with the lives of your family members?"

The faces of Koharu and Homura changed upon hearing this, and the latter hurriedly asked: "What do you mean, Yondaime?"

"It means that Advisor Danzo threatened Yakushi Nono's family members to make her an undercover in Iwagakure."

Kanpū, who is on the side, added, "The two advisors are so familiar with Advisor Danzo, so they must know about this, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Koharu quickly denied it, then turned around and looked towards Danzo, her brows slightly wrinkled, "Danzo, what's going on?"

"There is no coercion."

Danzo retorted expressionlessly, "Yakushi Nono voluntarily becomes an undercover in Iwagakure, and Kabuto also voluntarily joined the Root. I did not threaten them."

His purpose of this trip is to 'cut the flesh', to show the enemy his weakness, so there is no force in his rebuttal at all.

Sure enough, Kanpū directly blocked his mouth with a fluttering sentence: "Why don't you call them over here to confirm it?"

Koharu and Homura glanced at the silent Danzo. Looking at the other party, their hearts sank slightly.

They are not stupid. Looking at Kanpū's confident appearance, it is obvious that Danzo's words need to be discussed…

Furthermore, they knew that Danzo's methods are indeed extreme, so it is not surprising to do such a thing as coercion.

Danzo didn't want to speak at all, but considering his personality, he still defended himself: "The undercover agent was sent out during the Third Shinobi World War. At that time, Iwagakure was planning a big conspiracy against us, so I was not wrong to send spies with strong means!"

"But the war is over, Yakushi Nono…" Kanpū was interrupted just as he was about to attack.

"Leave the spy matter aside."

Homura pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said slowly, "Yakushi Kabuto is a Root's member, and Danzo's subordinate, but Yakushi Kabuto stole Root's confidential information by using his position. His behavior was like a Missing-nin, but when Danzo sent someone to hunt him, he was brutally blocked by Gekko Kanpū and he even injured ten elite Root's Shinobi. This matter…"

"Two advisors, is it really fun to play double standard?" Kanpū was dissatisfied with being interrupted, and immediately turned on the anti-interruption-ridicule mode.

"What double standard?"

Koharu glared at him, "You…"

"Advisor Danzo coerced Yakushi Nono to become an undercover in enemy country with the life of Kabuto. If something goes wrong, Yakushi Nono will die! After that, Advisor Danzo threatened Yakushi Kabuto with Yakushi Nono's life to make him become undercover on my side. After the incident was revealed, Advisor Danzo wanted to kill people to silent them. You all turned a blind eye to each and every one of them, you all felt that's fine, but when it's on my side, I only wounded ten of Root's Shinobi, but you are chasing this matter like a crazy dog. What is this if not a double standard?"

Kanpū said coldly, "Why? So you only allow your own, the high level advisors to commit crimes. But if the people below you resist a little bit, you will yell at them and even kill them?"

"Shut up!!"

Koharu was furious and pointed to Kanpū's nose, "I, I, I…"

After growing up so old, Koharu has never seen anyone who dares to talk to her like this!

It's simply disrespectful!

Homura was also silenced by Kanpū. He's depressed, aggrieved, uncomfortable and angry, wishing he could kick Kanpū to the border. After all, out of sight, out of mind.

At this time, Minato stepped forward to be a peacemaker. He fiercely criticized Kanpū and asked him to maintain due respect and awe for the advisors in the future, but there was no intention to punish him either.

Koharu finally understood. Her muddy eyes swept back and forth on Kanpū and Minato, and she coldly said: "Yondaime, does it mean that you don't want to deal with this matter?"

"No, of course we have to deal with it." Minato shook his head.

Now that he already knows that Danzo has the 'Gozu Tenno' Plan, he can take advantage of today's matter and put some people in the Root.

"It was indeed wrong for Kanpū to wound ten Root's Shinobi, but Advisor Danzo's method is too…"

Minato was just about to say more, and Koharu couldn't help but argue, "The undercover agent matter was done by Danzo during the Third Shinobi World War. At that time, Iwagakure has not made peace with us, so no matter how extreme his methods are, it is for the good of our village."

"But Kanpū is right, the war is over."

Minato said, "So Yakushi Nono regained her identity as Konoha's Shinobi, and Advisor Danzo must not disturb her for any reason. Besides, since Yakushi Kabuto doesn't want to stay at Root, just let him leave the Root. As for Missing-nin's status… Unless Yakushi Kabuto leaks village information to the enemy country, there's no need to call him a Missing-nin."

Koharu frowned tightly:" What about Gekko Kanpū?"

Minato solemnly said: "Root is short of manpower, and Kanpū has injured people again, so let him replace the injured Root's Shinobi until the injured Shinobi recover completely."

Minato has seen the reports. The Shinobi injured by Kanpū have their cut tendons and their bones broken, and it would take more than half a year to recover completely.

Such a long time is enough for Kanpū to investigate the Gozu Tenno Plan!

Koharu and Homura look at each other, as they didn't expect Minato to make such a punishment, but after thinking about it carefully, the Root does have insufficient manpower due to funding reasons, so it is indeed the best solution to make Kanpū work for the Root as the ones who injured them.

"Hokage-sama, I wounded ten of them." Kanpū knew Minato's intention to make him entered the Root, so he quickly reminded him.

Minato was stunned, 'That's right, ten!'

"Cough!"

Minato coughed lightly, and said, "Then, I'll get everyone from the sixth team to enter the Root."

'It just so happens that Tenzo used to be a Root's member. With him, Kanpū and Kakashi can grasp the information inside the Root faster!'

"Advisor Danzo, you won't object, will you?" Minato asked with a smile.

Koharu, Homura and Kanpū all turned around and looked towards Danzo at this time.

"Of course not."

Danzo smiled and said, with an expression of 'I was very satisfied with the way Yondaime handled it'.

In fact, Danzo had anticipated this situation when he made the decision to 'cut the flesh' before, so he made some arrangement in advance.

This time, no matter how many people Minato sends into the Root, they will not want to see anything that is not good for Danzo, not to mention the Gozu Tenno!

Danzo's expression and attitude made Minato a little uneasy.

'Is this old fox already prepared?'

'But since things have come to this point, they have to work hard!'

"Since the matter has been resolved, then it's time for us to leave." Homura said.

When he turned and walked out, Koharu stood still.

"Koharu, what's the matter?" Homura looked back strangely.

Koharu looked Minato and said: "Yondaime, I decided to resign as an advisor."

"What?!"

Danzo's face greatly changed, 'If Koharu resigned, wouldn't I lose an ally?'

'No, no, no.'

Danzo hurriedly cast his eyes to Homura, wanting him to stop her, but at this time Homura was also shocked by Koharu's words, and didn't receive Danzo's 'signal'.

"Advisor Koharu, why do you want to resign as an advisor?" Minato asked.

Koharu looked towards Kanpū with no trace of politeness. Apparently, what Kanpū just said about her double standard have deeply stimulated Koharu's dignity!

Kanpū looked towards Minato and saw that there was no trace of anxiety in his expression. He immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Advisor Koharu not only played the double standard well, but also threatened Hokage-sama."

"Kanpū!!!"

Minato was extremely satisfied, cough… he stared at Kanpū with extreme dissatisfaction, and said angrily, "Quickly apologize to Advisor Koharu!"

"Gomennasai!"

Kanpū simply bowed to Koharu, "Advisor Koharu, I am still a child. Children's words carry no harm."

'You are eighteen!'

'You are the Gekko Clan's Clan Head!'

'What the f**k children's words carry no harm?!'

'I!!!'

ヽ(｀Д´)ﾉ︵┻━┻┻━┻

Koharu is so angry, she is trembling all over, her loose skin, cheeks, mouth muscles, all trembling wildly!

Minato sighed with relief, and then he said helplessly to Danzo, who was also trembling behind: "Advisor Danzo, when Kanpū join Root tomorrow, please teach him well."

"I…" Danzo feels so uncomfortable at this moment!

'These two bastards Gekko Kanpū and Namikaze Minato. They are obviously working together to do this. From their posture, except for Koharu, I am afraid that even Homura will be forced to resign too!'

Sure enough…

"We are indeed old."

Homura sighed and said, "Yondaime, please allow us to resign as advisors."

"Homura!!!" Danzo stretched out his left hand to hold him, but it is a pity that Homura wants to save face so much, so how can he endure Kanpū's cynicism?

It would be fine if something was created out of nothing, but what Kanpū said made sense!

Regarding Danzo's matter, they are really biased. As for Koharu's resignation, it does have the meaning of forcing Minato!

If Hiruzen is in power, then he will definitely be biased towards them. At that time, not only will they be retained, but Kanpū's punishment will also be added.

But now that Minato is in power, and Minato clearly intends to protect Kanpū, in this case, it would be a bit of an eyesore for them to hang on this position.

Creak creak…

Danzo began gnashing his teeth.
