This level of rebellion must not be tolerated, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

The person who wants to kill Orochimaru the most at this moment is Danzo, his partner.

Although the Nidaime invented the art of reincarnation, Orochimaru has also recently studied this art. But under normal circumstances, the dead can indeed keep secrets better than the living.

Only when Orochimaru dies can Danzo draw a clear line with Orochimaru and continue to hold the position of elder in Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't answer, but just stared at Danzo silently. Danzo, haven't you seen the situation clearly?

Since Orochimaru failed to run for Hokage, he has become somewhat disheartened. He has gradually shifted his energy to scientific research, and his relationship with Danzo has eased.

Especially recently, the two of them often appear and disappear together, and have been noticed by many jounin.

This is obviously not something Danzo can explain clearly by saying "It's all Orochimaru's doing".

Danzo had been fighting with Mai Uchiha for several years before, but he was far less low-key than in the original plot and had a lot of dirty stuff on his body.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't missed his old friendship and Danzo had made up for his mistakes in the Third Ninja War, there would have been no possibility of him being revived.

The Jonin of Konoha naturally distrust Danzo, and they will not be surprised no matter what bad things Danzo does.

Danzo, who had already noticed something was wrong, looked around a few times, only to find that many Konoha jounin had silently surrounded him.

"Duanzo, it's useless to say more. Using Konoha people for in vivo experiments is really too relevant.

Even if you are Hokage Fuzuo, you can't clear the suspicion with just a few words.

Orochimaru has fled in fear of crime. You are the only insider and criminal suspect. I hope you can cooperate with the interrogation department.

If it turns out that you are indeed innocent, I am willing to apologize to you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, indicating to the left and right to take down Danzo immediately.

Danzo's face turned pale, how could he be innocent?

Those beasts in the interrogation department are all inhumane, and they are proficient in all kinds of ninjutsu that invade the brain and search memories. Danzo knows this very well.

At the same time, Danzo is also very aware of the rules of Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world.

Using villagers to conduct experiments is indeed a high-stakes matter. If it spreads, it will greatly affect the cohesion of the village. However, with more than a hundred jounin-level witnesses, it is impossible to suppress this matter.

Therefore, even ninjas of the level of Danzo and Orochimaru must go to the interrogation department once they are identified as suspects.

If you cooperate with the interrogation department's memory search, all the crimes you have committed will be uncovered. If you fail to cooperate, you will be guilty of committing a crime and confirm the identity of the criminal suspect.

In short, one or several people must be responsible for this incident that has had the worst impact since the founding of the Konoha village. Those apparently involved should not be able to easily distance themselves from each other.

For the sake of Konoha's unity and cohesion, and for the sake of the people, more than a hundred Jonin witnesses explained that this matter must be dealt with seriously.

Orochimaru saw this clearly, so he ran away decisively.

At first, Danzo thought he could pass the blame to Orochimaru, but now he realized the difficulty.

"You can't do this to me..."

Danzo looked horrified and was surrounded by more than a hundred jounin. Except for Mai Uchiha, who in the ninja world could not panic?

Suddenly, Danzo seemed to have thought of something and shouted: "I have done great service for Konoha, I have shed blood for Konoha, and I am the disciple of Lord Nidaime.

You can't do this to me, I want to see the Hokage, I want to see the Hokage!

I am the Hokage Fuzuo of Konoha, and only the Hokage can deal with me."

Danzo desperately emphasized his identity as Hokage's assistant and firmly grasped this last life-saving straw.

Procedurally, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo are both Hokage assistants, and they do not have the power to deal with or capture Danzo. An order of this level needs to be issued by the Hokage himself.

However, all the jounin did not hear Danzo's shouts. They subconsciously ignored the procedural problem and slowly approached Danzo.

Procedurally, it was indeed Minato who spoke in Konoha. But it was Mai Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi who really controlled the power of various departments in Konoha.

Among the more than a hundred jounin present, there were ordinary jounin, jounin from various families, Anbu jounin, Hollow jounin, Hyuga jounin, and jounin from the Uchiha clan.

The first ones are the horses of Hiruzen Sarutobi, only Hiruzen Sarutobi is the horse head. The latter ones are the horses of Mai Uchiha, and as we all know, Danzo and Mai Uchiha have never been on good terms.

It would be fine if Namikaze Minato spoke in person. It would be unrealistic for a mere Danzo to use the Hokage's name to suppress these Jonin.

Seeing that there was no room for turning around, Danzo decisively formed a seal with one hand and used the vacuum ninjutsu to attack a weak point in the encirclement.
