Chapter 426 Prepare for the Worst?

It’s over! !

At this moment, the Third Hokage only had these two words left in his mind.

He couldn't imagine what he would face if what happened in the scroll had spread in the village.

Not just him, but Koharu Koharu, Mito Menen, and Danzo Shimura, including the families behind them.

Even if there is one, no one can escape.

"Hiruzen, what happened?"

The Third Hokage's reaction after reading the scroll seemed a bit overwhelming. After sleeping, Koharu subconsciously bent down and picked up the scroll. However, when her eyes glanced at the scroll, her whole body froze.

Mito Monohan turned his head and glanced. Even though he only saw the words "misappropriation of funds", he already understood that the third Hokage's misappropriation of village financial funds had been exposed.

Once the villagers know this, everyone here will become a sinner in the village.

"Someone is coming!!!"

After a brief moment of shock, the Third Hokage came to his senses and shouted.

"Hokage-sama."

The people from the Hokage Guards quickly ran into the office.

"Notify the Hokage Guards immediately. In addition, send someone to notify the Police Department, and ask the Police Department to cooperate with you to disperse all the people protesting against the war outside. If they are unwilling to leave..."

The Third Hokage said with a gloomy face: "I will arrest them all and interrogate them one by one."

"..."

Do you really want to do this?

The people in the Hokage escort team were immediately stunned.

Dispersing the protesting villagers would have a great impact on the reputation of the Third Hokage once the incident got bigger. The Third Hokage had not spoken out because he was afraid of not dispersing these people because it would affect his own reputation.

"Why, do you need me to tell you a second time?"

Seeing that the people in the Hokage's guard were stunned, the Third Hokage's tone became cold.

Of course he knew that dispersing the protesting villagers would cause his reputation to suffer.

But does he dare not to disperse?

Someone has already spread the news in the village that he has misappropriated village financial funds for his family's use. If these people get together again, God knows what trouble will happen.

Even if his reputation is affected, the Third Hokage must cut through the mess quickly, disperse the crowd, and then investigate, arrest, and interrogate one by one.

Find out everyone who spreads the news, and also the person who planned this conspiracy.

If he didn't act as soon as possible, once the news really spread, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be useless.

By then it won't be a matter of reputation being damaged, maybe he won't even be able to become Hokage.

A small group of people in a village oppose you and your position is stable.

When a large number of people in the village oppose you, you will be questioned more and more.

When everyone is against you, you will have to move from your position as Hokage.

"Yes!! Hokage-sama."

The people in the Hokage's escort team reacted, responded quickly, and left the Hokage's office as quickly as possible.

"Damn it, who did it? Does he want to overthrow the top leaders of Konoha? Such a vicious conspiracy."

After sleeping, Koharu opened her mouth and Tsunade began to roll her eyes.

Are you embarrassed to say this?

What have you done that you don’t know?

"Tsunade, have the ANBU started investigating the suspects?"

The Third Hokage didn't care about Koharu's complaints, and he didn't want Koharu to complain, so that this old woman who was not successful enough but more than exposed would say anything offensive.

Hearing this, Tsunade sat on the sofa, folded her hands on her chest, and answered unhappily:

"Jingyi gave me the information and asked me to send it to the Hokage's office, which means that the ANBU has started to investigate. Don't worry about this. Although he is at odds with you, it is only because of certain people and certain things. dispute."

The Third Hokage was worried that there was Shizuichi's shadow behind this incident, and that the Anbu would not do anything.

Once there is Jingyi's shadow behind him, and once the ANBU fails to act, then he will be in big trouble.

Fortunately, Tsunade gave him a reassurance.

The conflict between Jingyi and you is because of certain people and certain things. If it does not involve other things, the ANBU will cooperate with the investigation and will not hold anything back.

"That's good."

The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief.

Tsunade sneered, crossed her legs, and sneered:

"Okay, old man, if you are suspicious of Jing Yi, you don't even think about it yourself. If Jing Yi really wants to do this, why delay it until now?

Moreover, it is better to spread the news in the village, not from outside? "

"Ahem!! That's not what I meant."

The Third Hokage was embarrassed: "Tsunade, don't worry, I don't doubt Shizuichi, and there is no need for him to do this."

Tsunade was right. If Shizuichi really wanted to do such a thing, he would not spread the news in the village, because it would be meaningless and would only make people suspicious of him. He would just spread it outside.

If it is spread in the village, there is a risk of being intercepted and held down. If it is spread outside, when these bad things spread throughout the entire ninja world, can you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, stop it?

"You'd better keep your word."

Tsunade didn't bother to listen to these bullshit. Her credibility towards the Third Hokage kept decreasing:

"Anyway, the three of you, no, and Shimura Danzo, you all must be mentally prepared and prepare for the worst. Since someone else has the intention to send people to spread such news among the villagers, it means that the other party has already grasped the situation. You have some handle.”

Tsunade got angry when she mentioned this and couldn't help but curse:

"You have the ability to embezzle the village's financial funds, but you don't have the ability to clean up your mess. You really disappoint me, old man."

The Third Hokage could only accept the scolding from Tsunade. Koharu Utatane and En Mitokado dared not say a word, fearing that Tsunade would point the finger at them.

After all, they were also beneficiaries.

The worst plan.........The Third Hokage frowned deeply.

What is the worst plan?

Not being a Hokage?

Or becoming a village sinner?

I'm afraid both will happen.

When Danzo Shimura got into trouble, he could still cover it up. Once these things were confirmed, no one would help him, Hiruzen Sarutobi, to cover it up.

"Koharu, go and notify the elders and clan leaders of several families and ask them to come to the Hokage's office."

The Third Hokage had not made up his mind before, but now it was no longer possible. A bigger thing had happened. The Third Hokage decided to select a group of ninjas from the Sarutobi and Shimura families to cooperate with the Sand Village to attack the Rock Village and make as many contributions as possible.

When things explode to the point where they cannot be reversed, merits and demerits can offset some of the impact.

"Okay."

Utatane Koharu wanted to fly away from the Hokage's office. She didn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.

It was too uncomfortable. Tsunade stared at them as if they were prisoners.

Utatane Koharu had been unhappy for a long time, but she could only endure it. If she wanted to explode, she would not have enough confidence and would be easily scolded by Tsunade. If she made a big fuss, she would be nailed as the village's criminal.

So it's better to run away early, and leave these things to the Third Hokage to deal with.

Tsunade will give the Third Hokage some face.

"Menyan, the war depends on you."

The Third Hokage looked at Mito Menyan meaningfully, reminding him that old friend, we need to make merit as soon as possible to eliminate the unfavorable influence on us.

"Okay."

Mito Menyan also knew these principles, so he did not refuse and accepted the appointment to lead the ninja troops to the battlefield.

It was just right to avoid the whirlpool of public opinion in the village.
