Reborn Into Naruto World With Tenseigan
The Konoha Response
Hokage Building.
Kuroto calmly sat in his chair and glanced at everyone attending this meeting.
Former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Elder Utatane Koharu, Tsunade-hime, Sannin Jiraiya, the Patriarchs of the great Shinobi clans such as the Uchiha, Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, and others, captains and leaders from key departments such as Anbu, Intelligence, Medical & so on were also present.
Kuroto? He participated in this meeting as the Headmaster of Konoha Ninja Academy.
Oh, and the meeting? It was organized by Elder Hiruzen as soon as he returned to the village after the expedition.
As everyone observed the solemn expression on Elder Hiruzen's face, everyone felt that something bad had happened.
Elder Utatane was the one who broke the silence and asked him, "Sarutobi, what happened?"
At the question of Elder Utatane, Elder Hiruzen took a deep breath, then told the details of what happened in the Volcano.
As everyone present at the meeting realized what was really happening in Volcano, their expressions turned serious, and silence appeared in the meeting room.
The one who was the most furious was obviously Elder Hiruzen himself, followed by Elder Utatane, both of them burning with anger.
And the others? Some were shocked, some were stunned while others calculated the impact of this incident on them and their clans.
After a while, Hiruzen broke the silence in the meeting room, and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Hizashi hesitated, then asked, “Sandaime-sama... Is this news true? Did Danzo-sama really do such a thing?”
Hiruzen nodded with a helpless expression, "Unfortunately, what I have said to everyone here is indeed true!"
As soon as Hiruzen received the information sent by Kakashi, he immediately summoned several hundred Konoha Shinobi and led the troops towards the volcano.
Unfortunately, by the time he got there, whatever happened there was already done, and the Fire Mountain had already collapsed after erupting.
He and the other Konoha Shinobis only saw death and destruction there.
Seeing the bodies of hundreds of Konoha Shinobi, and no sign of Kakashi or Danzo, Hiruzen became alarmed, especially since he did not know what was really going on there.
Afterwards, he does what he has to do and leads a shinobi squad to look for Danzo and Kakashi.
After a while of search operations, they finally found Kakashi unconscious and nearly a thousand Konoha Shinobi unconscious but still alive with him, although he was not sure why everyone was unconscious, the fact that they were all still alive greatly relieved him. But there was still one problem, there was no sign of Danzo!
The search operation continued for the next few hours until the search unit managed to capture several Root shinobi.
The Shinobi Root is mercilessly tortured until they finally acknowledge the details of what really happened at the volcano.
After gathering all the information piece by piece, the whole story became clear to Hiruzen ... The former Hokage was surprised to learn that Shimura Danzo actually held the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual inside the Volcano, and he had gathered one thousand and five hundred Konoha Shinobi outside the volcano. to use it as a source of chakra.
And none of Konoha's fifteen hundred Shinobi would have survived had Kakashi saved them.
Danzo who successfully completed the ceremony defected and left the Fire Nation!
Shimura Danzo, Agent Hokage, and former Root Division leader of Anbu defect! Such ridiculous things really happen!
Although Danzo is only the Hokage Agent, he is also not officially named the Godaime Hokage, his face is also not engraved on the Hokage Stone, however, he is the highest political authority in Konoha… so he was practically the unofficial Hokage of the village!
And he really defected?
The faces of everyone in the meeting were in disbelief after knowing this news.
No one ever imagined that such a thing would actually happen, let alone given Danzo's character and his loyalty to Konoha.
Sandaime who was once Danzo's childhood friend never imagined that one day Danzo would actually defect from Konoha!
Patriarch Uchiha was the first to recover from his shock, and asked, "Sandaime-sama, do we have any information as to where Danzo fled to after his defection?"
Jiraiya nodded with a sigh, "Kumogakure!"
According to information Jiraiya received from his information network, Danzo met with Yondaime Raikage and his entourage around the Fire Nation border, and together the two went towards the Lightning Country.
Destroys…
Tsunade breaks the table angrily, "Raikage dares to bring Danzo to the Land of Light... does he want to start a war?"
Elder Koharu echoed from the side, “I'm not sure about the war. but they should at least give us an explanation.”.
At the moment, Nara Shikaku said with a serious expression, “Our priority right now is not to talk about the actions of Raikage and Kumogakure, we should focus on the most important thing in front of us, and that is the leadership of Konoha. The village can not function without a leader. Because Danzo has defected, he can no longer be called the leader of the village, or someone to fill the role as leader.”
Everyone agreed with Nara Shikaku's words, and after a moment of thought, everything, without any difference whatsoever, looked towards Elder Hiruzen.
While Konoha faces such a complicated situation, the best and safest option is to let Hiruzen, the most experienced person here hold the power in his hands.
With that, the vote began.
And without twists and turns, Elder Hiruzen was reappointed as the Hokage of Konoha.
After reoccupying the Hokage position, the first order he issued was to propose negotiations with Kumogakure. The negotiating team was led by Elder Koharu and immediately planned to depart for the Land of Lightning.
After that, some further instructions were issued, and then the meeting was closed.
One thing to note is that there was no mention of Amatsukami or Orochimaru at all in the meeting, meaning that anyone who knew of their involvement was killed except Danzo and the two concerned.
And unless Danzo announces this news, Amatsukami and Orochimaru's involvement will remain buried under the volcano's ashes.
While thinking about this, Kuroto left the Hokage Building and walked towards Konoha Hospital.
