Guard members who stay in Konoha

Chapter 104 one hundred and one

Facing Shimura Danzo's questioning, Hatake Sakumo lowered his head deeply, unable to see his expression clearly, only heard his slightly trembling voice: "I, I have nothing to justify, no matter what it is For such reasons, it is a fact that my actions have caused serious losses to the village, and this will not change. Therefore, the only thing I can do is to express my apology and accept punishment."

"Very good, it seems that you still have a clear understanding of your responsibilities." Shimura Danzo nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and asked: "Hirzanny, since he said so, then follow the It is stipulated that he will be taken to prison for custody first, and will be dealt with later.”

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo's heart trembled fiercely, but he expected that he might have such an ending, and as he said just now, he had no excuse.

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent.He stared at Sakumo Hatake sadly, until Shimura Danzo called out several times before he slowly came back to his senses.When he saw the report, even though he knew it was written by Sakumo Hatake, he still had a little fantasy in his heart, whether there were other hidden secrets, he really couldn't believe that this man who was obviously so trustworthy would actually commit the crime This kind of mistake.

However, when he heard that Hatake Sakumo didn't make the slightest excuse to himself, Sarutobi Hiruza couldn't help but believe that this was definitely not a flash of thought, it must have started a long time ago, but he didn't Any discovery, did not see the sincerity of the person in front of him.

"Hizun, speak quickly, why are you so hesitant? Do you still have sympathy for this man?" Shimura Danzo shouted very sternly.

Although Shimura Danzo is ranked under Hokage, he was a fellow who was able to compete with Sarutobi Hiruzen back then, and he was a person who was qualified to compete with Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Kagami for the position of Hokage.At that time, because he obeyed the second Hokage's will, he and Uchiha Kagami withdrew from the competition, but he didn't think he was inferior to Sarutobi Hiruzen. After Sarutobi Hiruzen took the position of Hokage, he also relied a lot on him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's character is more or less naive, which makes him unable to do some things, even if he knows that it is necessary, at this time, a ruthless character like Shimura Danzo will do it, because he has no psychological burden , There will be no guilt at all, just take it for granted.

So much so that Shimura Danzo didn't have any awe for Hiruzaru Sarutobi. In reality, there are different positions, but in his heart, they are all equal to each other, so he can scold Hiruzaru Sarutobi without hesitation. cut.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi silently took out his cigarette stick, put it in his mouth and smoked it. Others were watching his movements, and the advisory group who were familiar with Hiruzaru Sarutobi knew that he was deliberating.

Regarding this, Shimura Danzo couldn't urge him anymore, he knew that Hiruzaru Sarutobi would tell his decision soon, so he waited aside.

Gently exhaling the smoke, Hiruza Sarutobi seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Sakumo Hatake, "Sakumo, your responsibility is so great that you must be punished. But I haven't figured out what to do with you yet. I won’t send you to prison for the time being, but you must stay at home and not allowed to go out, understand?”

As soon as this remark came out, apart from the undisguised dissatisfaction on Shimura Danzo's face, the rest of the people also frowned slightly, seeming to disagree.

"...I understand." Hatake Sakumo raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything, but bowed his head again in agreement.

"You go out first." Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hand, Sakumo Hatake said his resignation, and exited behind the door.

After he went out, Shimura Danzo glared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Hirozaru, what do you mean? Why don't you put Hatake Sakumo in prison? According to regulations, such a mistake is not punishable even by death." But it would be magnanimous to let him go to prison!"

"Sigh, although Sakumo made a mistake, but his strength is really outstanding, it is impossible to execute him like this." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and replied.

"I also understand that it is impossible to execute him like this. However, he must pay the price for his mistakes! Let him go to prison to let all the Konoha ninjas understand what they will pay for disobeying orders when performing tasks The price!" Danzo Shimura said coldly, "If a behavior like Sakumo Hatake's is easily let go because of his strength, what's the point of the rules? In the future, some people think that as long as they have strength, they can ignore the village's rules and do whatever they want. If you act according to your own will and give up the mission casually, what is the majesty of the village?"

"Danzo is right, Hirizhan. Hatake Sakumo is indeed very capable and has made a lot of contributions to the village, but this is not the reason for his mistakes!" Mito Menyan replied with a serious expression.

"No matter how powerful the strength is, if it can't be used by the village, then it doesn't exist." Turning to bed Xiaochun expressionless, her tone was a bit regretful, "I thought he was a very trustworthy person, but I didn't want to have This kind of behavior, it seems that in the past, he looked up to him."

The reasons of the three of them are very reasonable, even Sarutobi Hiruzen can't find any faults, he agrees to punish Hatake Sakumo, which is inevitable, but he also has some ideas of his own.

"Sakumo has made great contributions after all. Although this time it did bring huge losses to the village, if he can make up for it in the future, I don't think he can't take it into account." Hiruza Sarutobi took a puff of cigarette lightly.

At this time, Akimichi Takakaze opened his eyes and nodded slightly: "Hizan's words are reasonable. The matter has reached this point. Regret is useless. We can only stop the loss as much as possible. No matter what Sakumo Hatake , are all powerful ninjas with the name of 'White Fang', it seems a bit of a loss if they give up because of this."

"So it turns out that he is going to make atonement for his crimes, isn't it?" Mitomon Yan nodded. He somewhat understood Hiruzaru Sarutobi's thoughts. If it is fully utilized, then, it is better to give kindness than direct punishment.

The mistakes made by Sakumo Hatake are really unforgivable, but if you want to forgive him to a certain extent at this time, it is very likely that you will be thanked by Sakumo Hatake, and you will do your best for it in the process of atonement in the future go all out.Such examples are not without, as early as the Warring States period, there were countless such examples.

Shimura Danzo wanted to knock down Hatake Sakumo severely to demonstrate the importance of rules and the majesty of the village. There is no problem with such an idea, and Sarutobi Hiruzane's idea seems to make sense.

The consultants couldn't help but ponder, considering the pros and cons of the two opinions, and after a while, they came to a conclusion, and the result was that they agreed with Hiruzaru Sarutobi's opinion.

Danzo Shimura frowned slightly. Although Hiruzaru Sarutobi did make sense in doing so, it must also serve as a punishment, otherwise the rules would not be displayed.So he thought that the high-level ninjas must know about this matter, and they must not hide it, at least people must understand the consequences of this move, even if they redeem their crimes, they must not hide it.

Of course, it is unknown whether such a thing can be concealed.
