Chapter 177

"You're too impulsive, Erase.»

Minato remained calm, he looked at Yeruashi and said, " Danzo was an adviser to the Hokage, even if he did something, there should be a formal trial...»

"So, what would be the outcome of this trial?»

Yeruashi turned to Minato: "The Hokage Advisor, who has held this position for many years, has made an attempt on the Hero of Konoha. As a result of the trial, he would be stripped of his position as an adviser to the Hokage, forced to dissolve the Root and at most, would add to this a prison sentence.»

Minato will indeed strictly follow the rules in this matter, but some of the power of the Hokage is in the hands of Hiruzen and other people, so Danzo would definitely not get the death sentence.

If a man like Danzo doesn't have his life taken away, he's bound to be plotting something in the dark.

This is unavoidable.

In the original story, when Danzo tried to kill Hiruzen, he simply stripped him of his position as an adviser and ordered him to disband the Root, but did not kill him. As a result, Danzo reorganized the Root, and later stayed away from incidents such as the incursions of Payne and Orochimaru, as well as the Kyubi rampage.

Danzo would never take a step back, and the so-called good and protection of Konoha was just an excuse. From beginning to end, this man only craved power and sought to satisfy his ambitions.

"The proceedings would have been conducted in accordance with all the laws.»

Minato raised his hand gripping the kunai and looked at Erase: "But you killed the Hokage's advisor on your own, and I, as the Fourth Hokage, am obligated to take you into custody...you must understand me, Erase.»

After these words.

Minato threw a kunai with a seal Hiraishin in the direction of Erase.

Phew!

A silvery light flashed, and Yeruashi's figure appeared behind Minato, thin silver lines cutting through the air.

Minato's figure instantly disappeared, appearing in the position of the newly thrown kunai.

Although Minato dodged the attack of Eroiche, but his Hokage cloak was cut. If his reaction had been any slower, he would have been hit by this attack.

"So fast!»

Minato was stunned.

Although he had heard of Yeruashi's speed, it wasn't until he came face to face with him that Minato realized how terrifying the speed of the Silver Flash was!

Phew!

Minato's figure blurred, rushing towards Yeruashi and throwing the Hiraishin-sealed kunai at him again, but this time, instead of dodging, Yeruashi swung the Kusanagi Blade sharply in front of him.

Kacha!!

The Kunai with the Hiraishin seal was destroyed in flight.

Minato was stunned again.

"Such a reaction and attack power, he is able to destroy my kunai in the blink of an eye...The second stage will also be useless, it looks like I can only rely on the Spiral Flash of the Super Circular Howl Dance Style Three combined with the Shuriken Shadow Cloning Technique.»

Minato quickly analyzed the situation and instantly disappeared.

Bang!!

At the place where he was a moment ago, the ground was split by a flash of silvery light.

In the next moment.

Minato, who appeared not far from Yeruashi, simultaneously threw a large number of kunai with the Hiraishin seal, at the same time, an even larger number of shadow kunai clones appeared in the air.

Each shadow clone of kunai, almost simultaneously, flashed a bright yellow glow that could blind any normal person.

Phew!

Yeruashi narrowed his eyes and abruptly swung the Kusanagi Blade in front of him, spewing out a large number of silver slashes that formed an extremely dense net that instantly destroyed all the kunai flying towards him from the front.

But due to the too large range of this move, there were quite a few kunai that flew quite far to the sides of Yeruashi and did not encounter his attack, among them there were two kunai that had a slightly strange flight path. Flying past Eroiche, they are faced with other kunai.

Klang!!

One of them abruptly changed direction, flying over the back of Erase.

Figure Minato appeared in the position of a kunai, a hand with Rasengan rushed to the shoulder Erase.

"Rasengan!!»

Although his visual perception was blocked, Yeruashi was still able to sense Minato's movement and swung his blade back sharply, but the latter instantly disappeared again, dodging the attack.

When Yeruashi reacted to Minato appearing behind him, he missed the second kunai, which also changed its trajectory abruptly, but flew in front.

Phew!

Minato suddenly appeared in front of Erase and again attacked his Rasengan in the shoulder.

It worked!

A light flashed in Minato's eyes, but in the next instant, his expression changed abruptly, because the Rasengan did not deal any damage at the moment of collision with Yeruashi's body, instead, it abruptly froze and instantly dissipated without a trace.

At the same time.

Erase already swung his Blade of Kusanagi in the direction of Minato.

"Damn it!»

Minato's eyes widened sharply, and he activated Hiraishin without hesitation, instantly appearing nearby, but due to the fact that the previous move was too big, and Yeruashi's speed was simply terrifying, he was unable to completely avoid the attack.

His Hokage cloak was torn, and a bleeding gash appeared on his right shoulder.

Erase calmly looked at Minato.

"I can't stop you...»

Minato looked at Eroiche within a few seconds, and then sighed.

He had absolute confidence in his abilities and believed that he could defeat even the Yeruashi, but the truth was that he was unable to do so.

He had exhausted almost all of his resources, but the last Rasengan could not overcome the enemy's defenses. At the end of this collision, we can say that it is too difficult to threaten Erase.

If you don't use Shiki Fujin.

But Erase was not of those against whom cost to use this technique.

After all, he is not going to destroy Konoha.

"In fact, everything has turned out very well for you, Danzo's death is in your favor.»

Erase turned to Minato.

Minato shook his head, " Maybe so, but as a Hokage, I can't solve problems this way and will protect the village in my own way.»

"That's why they supported you as Hokage.»

Erase said indifferently.

Phew! Phew!!

At this moment, Hiruzen finally arrived.

He immediately turned his attention to the remains lying on the ground and Minato's wound, and then turned to Yeruashi.

The voice of Hiruzen was heavy and a little stressed: "Erase...you're Danzo...»

"Killed.»

Erase looked at Hiruzen and indifferently asked: "Are you going to do that too, Hiruzen?»

Hiruzen's face darkened, he looked at Minato, and once again looked at the remains of Danzo lying nearby, and then turned to Yeruashi, making a decision: "Danzo launched a covert attack on the Hero of Konoha, and you acted in self-defense. I am announcing the disbandment of the Root and the removal of Danzo from his position as Hokage Advisor posthumously...this concludes the matter.»

From Minato's injury, it can be concluded that they had already entered the battle and Minato was most likely defeated.

Although Hiruzen was experiencing very difficult emotions because of the death of a comrade with whom he had worked side by side for many years, but he was well aware that he could not allow internal differences to continue to worsen.

"So be it.»

Yeruashi looked at Hiruzen and Minato, " Minato, since you think you can protect Konoha in your own way, I will leave it to you and will not interfere in the village's affairs from now on. Don't ever send people to spy on me again, this is the last warning.»

After these words.

A figure of Erase turned into a silver flash and disappeared.

Hiruzen looked at the remains of Danzo, and Minato in the direction where just disappeared of Eroiche, their eyes were heavy.

"I'm sorry...Erase...»

Minato whispered softly. He knew that Danzo was responsible for what had happened, and he could understand Yeruashi's behavior, but as a Hokage, he had a duty to protect the laws of Konoha and could not allow them to be violated.

There is no right or wrong here.

There are only different views and beliefs.

But in Minato's opinion, there was nothing wrong with Erase refusal to interfere in the affairs of the village, because as Hokage, he is sure that he can protect Konoha himself!
