Two days later, in the Hokage conference room.

The patriarchs of various clans and the senior officials of Konoha sat together.

Of course, it also includes Hatake Sakumo and oil girl Ryoma, who are the commanders of the dark army.

Seeing that everyone was already there, Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed softly:

"Cough, I believe everyone has known about the mission of the Kingdom of Chuan recently."

Sarutobi Hiizhan's voice just fell.

The head of the oil girl clan immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Lord Hokage, please give Ryoma a chance."

Sarutobi Hiizan smoked a cigarette, ignoring the head of the oil girl clan, and said to himself:

"The failure of the mission has caused serious losses to the village, and this responsibility needs to be shouldered by people.

Ryoma, what do you think? "

After speaking, he stared at the oil girl Ryoma with meaningful eyes.

I saw the oil girl Ryoma stand out in the eyes of everyone, and bowed expressionlessly: "Lord Hokage, please don't punish Lord White Fang."

As soon as everyone heard it, the eyes that looked at the oil girl Ryoma immediately became weird.

Even Hatake Sakumo himself was confused.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

The oily girl Ryoma said silently: "Ninjas should focus on tasks.

In order to save the hostages, his subordinates did not hesitate to be extremely poisonous, and let Lord White Fang rescue the hostages.

But didn't expect that Lord White Fang made his own decision, gave up the mission, and exchanged the hostage for the antidote.

Let your subordinates' efforts go to waste. "

Sarutobi Hiizhan didn't expect the oil girl Ryoma to beat him upside down, and his face suddenly turned gloomy.

"You mean it's White Fang's fault."

The oil girl Ryoma nodded and said:

"Yes, the subordinates did not make any actions that violated the ninja's own duties during the mission, and were even willing to use their lives to complete the mission.

But Lord White Fang had already completed the task, yet he still had to give up. He was not worthy of being a ninja at all.

But remembering that Lord White Fang was trying to save his subordinates, his subordinates did not want Lord Hokage to punish him.

Hokage-sama can ask White Fang-sama if his subordinates asked him to save me at that time. "

Sarutobi Hiizan glanced at the silent Hatake Sakumo, and said with an angry smile:

"Well, you explained it well, even if it was White Fang's dereliction of duty.

But in the final analysis, it is because you accidentally poisoned, don't you have no responsibility? "

As soon as Sarutobi Hizan finished speaking, he was suddenly surprised and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

At this time, Danzo couldn't wait to say:

"Ri Zhan, it was White Fang who did the wrong thing, not Ryoma.

Ryoma is just lacking in strength, and no one will say anything even if he dies in the mission.

But asking him to take on this responsibility makes no sense.

How can you, as Hokage, blatantly make Ryoma blame White Fang.

Didn't this chill the hearts of Konoha's ninjas? "

Sarutobi Hiizhan eagerly explained, "I didn't mean that..."

Danzo immediately snorted coldly:

"Even if you didn't mean it that way, your words just now tacitly agreed that this was White Fang's fault."

Sarutobi Hizan took a deep breath, looked at the senior officials and the patriarch, and said, "Everyone should see who is at fault for this."

But which of the senior officials of Konoha and these patriarchs are not old fritters, they all think that the matter is irrelevant and hang up.

No matter what you say now, it will offend people.

Saying it was White Fang's fault would offend Danzo and the Oil Maiden family.

Saying it was Ryoma's fault would offend Sarutobi Hizen and Hatake Sakumo.

Seeing that no one had spoken to help Hatake Sakumo, Danzo laughed secretly in his heart and said, "Hisashi, you still don't understand people's hearts."

"Anyway, I could see at a glance that it was White Fang's fault. As a ninja, not focusing on missions is a mistake.

White Fang, would you please excuse yourself? "

Danzo learned Sarutobi Hiizan's method and let the parties speak for themselves.

However, Hatake Sakumo was proud and not good at playing this kind of language confrontation, and stammered:

"I......."

Danzo sneered in his heart and pretended to be concerned:

"You can explain why you have to give up the mission halfway as a ninja, is it that your companions are more important than the mission in your heart."

"Yes." Hatake Sakumo nodded.

Danzo heard Hatake Sakumo's admission, a smile of success appeared on his face, and he said to Sarutobi Hiru:

"A ninja is just a tool, the task is more important than anything else.

This is the promise of each village to the employer.

Shouldn't the employer tell them that if the mission is in danger, we will give priority to saving our companions when they release the mission? "

As soon as Danzo's voice fell, Hatake Sakumo immediately knelt down on one knee towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and said:

"Sorry, this mission is my dereliction of duty, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

Sarutobi Hizan angrily glanced at Danzo, and said solemnly:

"I'm against punishing White Fang, after all, White Fang has made military exploits for Konoha and performed countless S-rank missions.

His credit can fully make up for the fault this time. "

Danzo's goal has been achieved, and it doesn't matter whether Sarutobi Hiru is executed or not punished by Hatake Sakumo.

As long as someone takes the responsibility.

I saw Danzo Yunyou got up and said in a victorious tone:

"I don't want to continue the discussion. If you want to vote on whether or not to punish White Fang, count my dissenting vote."

"Let's go, Ryoma, it's none of our business here."

Sarutobi Hizan looked gloomily at the back of Danzo's departure, and then turned his gaze to the people present.

But everyone present chose to avoid Sarutobi Hiizan's gaze.

Sarutobi Hizan turned his gaze to Hatake Sakumo who was kneeling beside him, and sighed deeply:

"Go away."

"White Fang, you went home recently and have a good rest, Konoha will depend on you in the future."

"Yes......."

Danzo, who walked out of the Hokage Building, after confirming that no one was watching, whispered to the oil girl Ryoma:

"While Sarutobi Hiizan hasn't reacted yet.

Spread the content of today's meeting as quickly as possible. "

"Yes."

........

Just a few days later.

The whole Konoha rumors spread.

The target of the villagers' verbal criticism was changed from the oil girl Ryoma to Hatake Sakumo.

"How could Lord White Fang make such a foolish mistake this time.

The oil girl Ryoma was willing to exchange her life for the ten-year mission of the Kingdom of Sichuan.

But he has to give up the task. "

"A big man like him is not short of money at all, so he doesn't care about the life and death of the bottom ninja."

"That oily girl Ryoma is from the Anbu, and White Fang is the captain of the Anbu.

A big man like White Fang no longer looked down on money, and he valued power more.

I guess he gave up the mission in order to gain the allegiance of the oil girl Ryoma. "

"Is it so deep? I didn't even see it."

"The three generations of adults are already quite old, and they may have begun to secretly look for successors in recent years.

White Fang definitely wanted to compete for the position of Hokage."

"Hey~ Your explanation is too reasonable."

"Right now, there are only a few members of the Hatake family, as long as White Fang becomes Hokage.

The Hatake family will become a wealthy family in a few years."

"Why is he so selfish, thinking only about himself and his family."

"What you said, why do others think of us?"

"No matter what others think, when White Fang wants to run for Hokage, I will be the first to oppose it."

"Stop talking, White Fang is here, and if he hears it, you're done."

"I'm not afraid."
