Mito Uzumaki chuckled and explained:

"As the one who discovered this incident and also a survivor of the recent attack, you should definitely go."

Hearing this, Uchiha Seiryu was a bit confused.

He's already done enough today; if this continues, he feels like the 996 work schedule is beckoning him.

But Mito Uzumaki is not wrong either.

It was Uchiha Seiryu who discovered the incident and then reported it to Uzumaki Mito.

He witnessed the entire process.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for him to explain what happened.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Seiryu sighed at his own hardships.

He's only six years old, and he just wanted to slack off. What crime did he commit?

This further strengthened his resolve to be a hands-off manager!

They leave the work to others and disappear without a trace.

Then they watch others get angry while enjoying the pleasure of being lazy.

This is a win-win situation; the Uchiha Seiryu won twice.

After sighing like this for a while, he finally returned to reality.

After sighing, she listlessly dragged Nonou to tidy up.

Mito Uzumaki watched him with amusement, unsure of what to say.

Despite spending this time together, Uchiha Seiryu was very diligent in his studies and training.

But when it comes to other things, he becomes rather lazy.

Moreover, although she didn't say it, she was already preparing him to be the next Hokage.

He was able to find solutions to all the things that Uchiha Seiryu had experienced.

Their own abilities are not in question.

Mito Uzumaki remembers both this attack and the fireworks that appeared in the sky above Konoha last time.

This level of strength was completely abnormal; she even began to suspect that Uchiha Seiryu had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, without confirmation, Mito Uzumaki is hesitant to make a judgment.

As things stand now, Uchiha Seiryu is qualified to be Hokage in every aspect.

The only problem is that he is too young to become Hokage, but we can train him as the next generation.

'Should we wait until he's an adult? Or should we hand over the Hokage title when he's fourteen?'

'Let him graduate now and put him by my side to handle official business, doesn't that sound like a good idea?'

When it comes to slacking off, Mito Uzumaki is not to be outdone.

Although the matter is basically settled, she is the only one who can become the next Hokage or the acting Hokage.

But even before she became president, she was already thinking about how to slack off.

Even if Madara Uchiha were to arrive, she would still have to be called the ultimate slacker.

People are different, and the position of Hokage can be said to be the highest symbol of power in Konoha.

Some people cling to power for decades and refuse to let go, while others discard it as if it were nothing.

At that moment, Uchiha Seiryu was washing Nono's face when he suddenly felt a strong chill.

He looked around but couldn't find anything amiss.

This made Uchiha Seiryu blink in surprise, looking completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Little did he know that his dream of being a hands-off boss hadn't even begun before it was about to be realized by someone else.

However, he was the one who got dumped.

After racking his brains trying to figure out the source of the chill, Uchiha Seiryu simply gave up on thinking about it.

By this time, Nono had finished getting ready, so he took her back downstairs.

After reuniting with Mito Uzumaki, they headed to the Hokage Building to settle the score.

Along the way, the usually bustling streets were deserted.

Only a few ninjas who were going to attend the Jonin meeting walked together toward the Hokage Building.

Upon seeing Mito Uzumaki, all the Jonin paid their respects and greeted him.

Just then, a chubby ninja approached Mito Uzumaki and said:

"Lord Mito, what exactly happened this time? Why was a Jonin meeting suddenly convened?"

Mito Uzumaki stared intently, then remarked with some emotion:

"It's about the wind; the weather might be about to change."

Chapter 51 The Curtain Rises

Akimichi Torifu's honest face was originally full of smiles.

But as soon as Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, his smile vanished.

"Has something major happened?"

Mito Uzumaki stared at him, not answering the question, but instead asking:

"Are the village's defenses adequate?"

Upon hearing this, Akimichi Torifu realized the seriousness of the problem.

Mito Uzumaki was asking him what would happen if a major upheaval occurred in the village.

It could even be so serious as to cause turmoil in Konoha and attract the attention of others.

They need him, the Jonin responsible for defending Konoha, to prevent this from happening.

This moment may be the most critical since Akimichi Torifu took charge of the defense of Konoha.

"Please rest assured, Lord Mito, all of Konoha's defenses are up to the test."

Mito Uzumaki nodded before answering his initial question.

"Someone in the village attacked the child, and it was a high-ranking official from Konoha."

"But most importantly, the third generation is very likely to be involved as well."

Upon hearing this, Akimichi Torifu's face was full of surprise, and he looked at her in disbelief.

He could hardly believe that he was hearing such shocking news with his own ears.

It's hard to believe that a high-ranking official would lay a hand on a child.

Even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was involved in this matter.

But Mito Uzumaki wouldn't joke about something like that.

The fact that a Jonin meeting has already been held means they must have crucial evidence.

Then, a face flashed through Akimichi Torifu's mind.

'Danzo, is that you!?'

Thinking about this, he found it hard to accept at first.

As a member of the second-generation Shadow Guard, he had a good relationship with several other members of the Shadow Guard.

Otherwise, the Third Hokage wouldn't have kept him in charge of the Hidden Village's defenses after taking power.

If this incident is confirmed, he, as their friend, will be caught in the middle, unable to choose sides.

Mito Uzumaki seemed to sense his distress and stepped forward to comfort him:

"You don't need to express your opinion on this matter; you just need to witness it."

"It's getting late, let's hurry up."

He then turned around, pulled up Uchiha Seiryu and Nonou, and quickened his pace.

Akimichi Torifu watched the group walk away, then stood there lost in thought, his expression constantly shifting.

He then let out a heavy sigh and started walking towards the Hokage Building.

But the sound of his footsteps was no longer as light as before; instead, it became increasingly heavy.

............

By the time Uchiha Seiryu and the others arrived at the meeting place, almost everyone had already arrived.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at the highest point, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

The three people who used to stand behind him are now only Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Danzo, however, has not been seen since.

The sudden Jonin meeting, with Danzo's late arrival, gave Danzo a bad feeling.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was starting to feel increasingly uneasy, the meeting began.

Mito Uzumaki stood up, her expression serious and unsmiling, completely different from her usual self.

She looked around, and under her gaze, the crowd that had been whispering just moments before fell silent.

"I convened this Jonin meeting, and the purpose of gathering you all here is very simple."

"A high-ranking official has targeted the children in the village, and he has already succeeded in harming some of them!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the hot-tempered Jonin couldn't help but start cursing.

"Which guy had a son but no wife? While we're fighting on the front lines, he's stuck in the back like a fern!!"

"I'm going to beat his shit out, then beat him back into the shit, and finally beat him with his shit!!"

For a moment, the entire conference room was filled with foul language.

Mito Uzumaki frowned. She could understand the vulgar language, but what made her frown was that Danzo had not yet arrived.
