"Even Orochimaru has been captured. Who else could have a more special identity than Orochimaru? Orochimaru is the Hokage's disciple. His status in the village is second only to the Hokage, right?"

"That's right, is there anyone in our village who has a higher status than Orochimaru?"

"Based on the nature of these people in the police department, is there anyone in the village that they dare not arrest?"

"Haha, could it be Hokage-sama?"

"You are ignorant. There are people in the village who are higher in status than Orochimaru. Don't forget, there are three advisors. They have enormous power in their hands. They are truly powerful and hold real power. They cannot be compared to someone like Orochimaru who is only nominally high in status but has only a false reputation!"

"You mean the person behind Orochimaru is the Advisor? That's impossible, that's the Advisor!"

"That's not what I meant, don't talk nonsense!"

...

For a moment, the sound of discussions among the residents of Konoha at the scene could be heard endlessly. Hearing these voices, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was as gloomy as water, and his fists were clenched tightly in his wide sleeves.

"Hokage, these are what Orochimaru confessed after we interrogated him, as well as some evidence found in the laboratory. Please take a look and issue an arrest order as soon as possible." Uchiha Fugaku said as he handed three scrolls to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was filled with dark clouds. The worst situation had come, but at this time, he had to be fair and not be biased in any way. He had to stand with the people of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll from Uchiha Fugaku's hand, then took a deep breath and directly spread out one of the scrolls.

Soon, his face turned dark blue and anger boiled in his heart.

This scroll was written by Orochimaru himself after he was caught in the illusion, and it lists everything he and Danzo have done since they started working together.

Human experiments, research on forbidden techniques, development of banned drugs, blasphemy against the previous Hokage...

Looking at the contents of the scroll, Sarutobi Hiruzen's temples throbbed and he felt like he might explode at any time.

The contents of this scroll have sentenced both Danzo and Orochimaru to death, with no possibility of survival.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen flipped through the other scrolls and took a quick look. He took a deep breath and looked at Kakashi who was waiting beside him:

"Pass on my order. Arrest Shimura Danzo and Aburame Ryoma immediately. If they resist, kill them on the spot!"

Then, he looked at Uchiha Fugaku and said in a deep voice: "The police department will assist in the arrest of Shimura Danzo. Make sure to arrest Shimura Danzo and Aburame Ryoma!"

At this point, there was no point in arguing, and what Danzo was doing fell squarely within the scope of the Police Department's duties.

"Yes, Lord Hokage." Kakashi and Uchiha Fugaku nodded at the same time.

Afterwards, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Akira, with the police officers on the scene, followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's Anbu and quickly rushed towards the roots underground.

The Konoha villagers at the scene looked at the departing police force and Anbu and suddenly burst into uncontrollable discussions, and the situation was completely out of control.

"Our village's consultant actually participated in something like human experimentation?"

"How did such a person become an advisor? Is Hokage-sama blind?"

"Hey, I heard that Shimura Danzo was once a disciple of the Second Hokage, and the current Hokage is also a disciple of the Second Hokage. How do you think he became an advisor?"

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Just say it boldly. What's the point of being sarcastic?!"

"Hey, I didn't say anything nonsense. Is the truth nonsense?"

"Tsk tsk, there are so many dark things hidden under the sun. Who would have thought that the village consultant would use the villagers as experimental consumables?"

...

Listening to the villagers' discussions, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned pale, and these words were like needles piercing his heart.

From today onwards, most of the good reputation that Sarutobi Hiruzen had worked so hard to build would be destroyed.

"Damn Danzo, he's such a guy who is always causing trouble and can't do anything good, this bastard!" Sarutobi Hiruzen wished he could eat Danzo alive.

"I was so careless. I didn't expect that he and Orochimaru would be so bold as to use villagers for experiments." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.

Looking at the noisy crowd, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone, please be patient and wait for the results of our official investigation. Do not believe in rumors or spread them. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter. We will never tolerate it and will severely punish the criminals!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were heard, the scene was quiet for only a moment, and soon became noisy again.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzenbi shook his head slightly. He knew that nothing he said now would work.

During this period, too many people have disappeared in the village, from babies to ninjas, more than a hundred people have disappeared in succession, and the villagers have long been in panic.

Even the ninja village that claims to be the most powerful in the ninja world cannot guarantee the safety of its residents. It is conceivable that the dissatisfaction and resentment of the Konoha villagers have already accumulated to a certain extent.

In the end, it was discovered that it was the village's top leaders who were behind the incident, and the frightened villagers were just taking the opportunity to vent their anger.

On the other side, underground in Konoha, at the root base.

"Lord Danzo, something has happened. Orochimaru has been arrested by the police department. Now the villagers are very excited and demand that Orochimaru be severely punished. A large number of people have gathered at the Hokage building."

The masked Root Ninja half-knelt on the ground, respectfully stating the news just passed back by the intelligence department.

The strength of the Root is not inferior to that of the Anbu, and it has its own independent intelligence system. Not only other villages, but even Konoha itself is covered by this system.

Therefore, the roots will know any major events happening in the village at the first moment.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Danzo's face changed drastically and his panic was visibly evident. If the affair between him and Orochimaru was exposed, he would be completely finished.

Danzo seemed to not believe it and quickly asked, "Orochimaru was arrested by the police department?"

"That's right. The police force has already escorted Orochimaru to the Hokage building. The personnel at the scene reported that the matter is not over yet. The police force is waiting for the Hokage to issue an arrest order. According to them, there is a big shot behind this." The Root Ninja answered like an emotionless machine.

"It's over..."

After hearing these words, Danzo's hope completely disappeared, and he leaned back in his seat with a deathly pale face.

Orochimaru was unable to resist the Sharingan illusion, and what they had done over the years must have been known to the Police Department.

Over the years, what he and Orochimaru had done had crossed Konoha's bottom line. Judging from the current situation outside, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely order his arrest.

At this moment, all of Danzo's ambitions turned to ashes, and he now has few choices left.

One is to immediately and with all your strength defect from Konoha and become a rebel ninja.

The second is to surrender and hope that Sarutobi Hiruzen will be soft-hearted and be able to defeat the Uchiha clan, and the final outcome is to spend time in prison; the third is to resist on the spot and be able to kill the Uchiha clan.
