Upon hearing the teacher's question, Minato's gentle smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression on his handsome face.

"Ah."

He nodded slightly. "The crimes, including the Wood Release experiments, are all supported by corresponding evidence."

"Whether it's Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, or the families behind them, or even... some members of the Sarutobi clan."

"There is not a single falsehood in these notices."

Minato hesitated for a few seconds, but considerately refrained from saying the rest of his words.

Even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had some shady dealings, but because he compromised and admitted defeat, Shiranui Sho gave him some face.

"Danzo did such a thing, wantonly killing infants and his fellow villagers with his Wood Release technique!"

Jiraiya, in his fury, possessed an awe-inspiring presence.

However, the thought that Shimura Danzo had been killed by Shiranui Sho gradually dissipated his anger.

"What has the old man been doing all these years? His three advisors have all..."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, not wanting to utter anything too offensive in public.

His chest heaved as he lifted his foot, intending to go to the Hokage's office to find Hiruzen Sarutobi and get some answers.

Before he could take even half a step, he was stopped by Minato Namikaze.

"Jiraiya-sensei, are you going to find the Hokage?"

"Of course."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

"The Hokage probably doesn't have much time right now."

Minato Namikaze scratched his head.

"Sho entrusted the Hokage with the task of thoroughly investigating Danzo and his family."

"……what?"

Jiraiya's anger faltered for a moment because of this unexpected remark.

What does it mean that Xiao handed over the mission to the Hokage?

Minato continued, "After this matter is settled, the Hokage will need to hand over the position to Sho, and there will be some work handover."

"What location?" Jiraiya was taken aback.

"The location of the Hokage."

"……ha!?"

Jiraiya gasped.

What exactly happened while he was away?

Seeing Jiraiya's astonished expression, Minato gave a wry smile, which he understood quite well.

In fact, he was quite surprised when he first learned of this news.

He had previously told Shiranui Sho that he would give him a portion of the plan related to Shimura Danzo.

However, Shiranui Sho later told him something about being driven to rage for a woman, and then directly killed Danzo.

So, he was given the task of cleaning up the remaining Root ninjas in the village.

Those who still have the potential for redemption will be temporarily detained for criticism and education, and released after they have reformed.

Some who had become completely lost and depraved were simply erased.

Then, Minato's current task is to post these notices.

Having already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, his speed in posting the notice was astounding.

This is also why he felt he hadn't been of much help before, so he volunteered to spread the crimes of Shimura Danzo and others.

"call……"

Jiraiya let out a long sigh.

He considered himself to be in his prime, but suddenly felt like he was falling behind the times.

"Minato, when you're done with your work, come grab a couple of drinks with me."

"Yes, Jiraiya-sensei."

……

Wood leaves are being pruned to remove withered and rotten roots and leaves.

Meanwhile, Shiranui Sou was resting at home.

After the events in Konoha were resolved, he sent Vivi and the others back to Haijilan.

After all, Alabasta and Skypiea are also important spheres of influence under his command, and the management cannot leave for an extended period.

A short rest after a major event is always refreshing.

He doesn't need to worry about what happens in Konoha for the time being.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, wanting to preserve his reputation and the remaining members of his clan, was unlikely to make any further moves.

On Orochimaru's side, the Wood Release experiments are progressing steadily; all that's needed is to wait.

For a moment, he had some free time.

Just as Shiranui Sho leaned back on the sofa, her mind gradually going blank, a sudden feeling of excitement rose in her heart.

This subtle sensation instantly jolted him awake, his pupils shrinking to needle-like sizes.

He was all too familiar with this feeling.

In the past, he would experience this kind of throbbing feeling every time the Flying Thunder God Technique was about to take him to a strange world.

He quickly got up, hung his ninja tool pouch on his waist, and then, with a thought, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Inside the living room, a dark light flickered.

The next second, Shiranui Sou's figure disappeared from the spot.

The scenery changed before my eyes, and when I opened them again, I saw a somewhat desolate land.

Immediately afterwards, Shiranui Sho felt the ground beneath her feet begin to tremble.

The dull, drum-like thumping of footsteps rolled in from the other side of the horizon, dust being kicked up by countless hooves and feet, the yellowish sand obscuring half the sky.

His brows furrowed slightly, and before his gaze even fell upon him, his Observation Haki materialized.

Through the perception of Observation Haki, an endless tide of soldiers stretched out from afar, their armor reflecting a cold, metallic gleam.

At that moment, countless soldiers were lined up in neat formations, advancing step by step toward his location.

A sea of ​​people stretching as far as the eye can see, a forest of swords and spears, and the clanging of armor.

Across the vast wilderness, only Shiranui Sou stood alone in the middle of the path ahead, where the army's spearheads pointed directly.

He stood there all alone, looking rather out of place, and countless pairs of eyes all fell on this figure that appeared out of nowhere.

"..."

Shiranui Sho turned to face the approaching army of 100,000, revealing a slightly troubled expression.

Where did he send this message this time?
