NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 36: Trial In The Conference Room
Mizuki also knew that Third Generation called him back to Konoha this time, nominally to ask about Anbu's death, but in fact, it was most likely to plan to kill him.
Konoha has already suffered a lot because of Mizuki.
Those who had lost before were all root ninjas.
Danzo's die-hard fans, Third Generation, don't feel bad.
But this time, the three Anbu who died were the mainstay of the village.
Third Generation’s heart is definitely bleeding.
But even so, Mizuki still plans to return to the village and fight for it again.
He really wanted to stay in Konoha.
There are many talents, a good environment, delicious food, but the boss is an indecisive old man who is easy to bully...
Where to find a better place to live?
As for being a rebel ninja, Mizuki would never take this path unless forced to do so.
Look at Orochimaru, look at Zabuza, look at the shameful life they live, and you will know that it is not easy to be a traitor.
Mizuki wasted no time on the road and accelerated towards Konoha.
It takes three days to walk, but if you jump through the woods, you can get there in half a day.
Soon, he arrived outside Kimura's gate.
Izumo and Zitie, the gatekeepers, registered Mizuki to enter the village.
Ziti said: "Chūnin Mizuki, Lord Hokage, please report to the Hokage office immediately after you return."
Mizuki nodded and walked towards the Hokage Building.
The news of Mizuki's return to the village reached Third Generation's desk immediately.
Third Generation narrowed his eyes, with a vague murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Inform Danzo and the two advisors to come, and then summon all Jōnin and special Jōnin who are on vacation in the village to the Hokage Building to prepare for an emergency meeting."
"In addition, Anbu is ready for battle. When I give the order, he will immediately take down Mizuki."
Third Generation has made up its mind to do Mizuki no matter what today.
The loss is too great.
If Mizuki does not die, Konoha will definitely suffer greater losses in the future.
He stood up, looked out the window at the peaceful Konoha Village, and said to himself: "I will never allow anyone to destroy the peace of the village."
"Even if there are signs, they must be eliminated."
Just then, a crow flew directly towards the window where Third Generation stood.
The Third Generation frowned, and the next moment, Anbu appeared and slashed at the crow.
"Wait!" Sandao waved Anbu away.
The crow flew to the window sill, looking at Third Generation with dark eyes.
The Third Generation also saw the letter tied to Crow's leg.
"Is it Itachi's Summoning crow? Itachi has never sent any news to the village for so many years. Why did he send the crow today?"
Third Generation took off the letter from the crow's leg, unfolded it and read it.
The more I look at it, the uglier Third Generation’s face becomes.
"Transformation..."
"Perception Ninjutsu, you can clearly detect the movement around you even if you close your eyes..."
"I learned the Rasengan of the Fourth Generation and added the Wind Style Chakra Nature Transformation, which is powerful enough to break Orochimaru's triple Rashomon..."
"Reject Orochimaru's solicitation and confront him head-on..."
"Itachi can't do anything to him..."
Seeing this, Third Generation's already wrinkled forehead became even more wrinkled at this moment.
He originally thought that Mizuki would just change his appearance, but he didn't expect that Mizuki would hide so deeply.
"How on earth did he learn these ninjutsu?"
Third Generation is confusing.
He is obviously a Chūnin with mediocre qualifications and doesn't even have a mentor to guide him. There is no reason for him to be so strong.
"If the will of fire was planted in his heart when he was young, there might be another successor like Minato in Konoha."
"It's a pity that it was discovered too late!"
Third Generation took a long drag on the pipe and blew out the smoke with a long sigh.
"It seems that we must take it down with lightning speed."
"If not, let him use the Wind Style Rasengan, Konoha will suffer huge damage."
With determination flashing in his eyes, Third Generation picked up the letter and continued reading.
The news delivered by Uchiha Itachi, in addition to information about Mizuki, also included information about the Akatsuki organization.
In the letter, there is information about the members of the Akatsuki organization, as well as analysis of their intelligence and capabilities.
"Penn, the self-proclaimed god, possesses the legendary Rinnegan?"
Third Generation immediately thought of Jiraiya.
Jiraiya once had three apprentices in the Land of Rain. One of them, Nagato, owned the Rinnegan.
"The masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara, possesses space and time ninjutsu..."
Seeing this, Third Generation narrowed his eyes and unconsciously recalled the night of Nine Tails twelve years ago.
"who are you?"
The news from Uchiha Itachi shocked Third Generation.
Mizuki's strength shocked him.
The strength and composition of the Akatsuki organization shocked him even more.
He turned his attention away from the Akatsuki organization and his top priority was to deal with Mizuki.
Soon, all the senior officials and the unemployed Jōnin in the village arrived, and Anbu also made various arrangements.
"Third Generation-sama, Mizuki has arrived downstairs." Anbu reported.
Third Generation nodded and said, "Take him to the conference room."
He walked to his desk, put down his pipe, put on his Hokage hat, and walked towards the conference room.
On the first floor of the Hokage Building, there is a large conference room with a main conference table above.
There are also rows of tables on the left and right rows.
At this time, Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu were already sitting at the main conference table.
There are many Jōnin sitting on the two rows of conference tables below.
Yuan Fei Asuma, Yuhi Hong, Might Guy, Anko, Morino Ihiki...
When Mizuki walked into the conference room, everyone looked at him.
Anbu took him to the center of the conference room and said: "You wait here, Master Hokage will come back soon to preside over the meeting and ask you about your experience in the Kingdom of Waves."
To be honest, Mizuki felt uncomfortable being stared at by so many people. Especially at the main conference table, Shimura Danzō's unabashed murderous eyes made him extremely disgusted.
He has the urge to throw Wind Style spiral shuriken...
But there is no other way. If you want to stay in Konoha, you have to endure it.
Soon, Third Generation came, walked to the main conference table, and sat in the main seat.
"Mizuki, tell me carefully about your collusion with Orochimaru and the murder of three Anbu." Third Generation directly enlarged its moves.
Mizuki was stunned when he heard this. Good guy, Third Generation is really determined to kill him.
However, he didn't panic.
"Third Generation-sama, you said I colluded with Orochimaru, is there any evidence? You said I murdered Anbu, what's the reason?"
"Although you are Hokage, you can't judge me as betraying Konoha and colluding with Orochimaru without any evidence."
The Third Generation scolded: "The three Anbu are Jōnin, they are powerful, they are all dead, why is your Chūnin not dead?"
"There is only one reason. Orochimaru doesn't want to kill you. There is only one reason not to kill you. You and Orochimaru are accomplices."
Mizuki smiled.
Third Generation is completely willing to take risks.
The conference room also directly turned into a trial court.
The two advisors frowned.
Mitokado Homura said: "Hiruzen, based on this alone, how can we conclude that he colluded with Orochimaru?"
Utatane Koharu also said: "Yes, Hiruzen, how can this kind of inference be used as evidence of conviction?"
Danzo said: "What Hiruzen said is correct. It is unreasonable for him to survive from Orochimaru. I can't think of any other reason why Orochimaru didn't kill him alone."
The surrounding Jōnin looked on with cold eyes.
Everyone can see that Third Generation is targeting Mizuki and wants to put Mizuki to death.
At this time, no one will stand up to speak against the Third Generation, and no one will support the Third Generation.
Because, Third Generation really has no evidence.
Mizuki defended himself: "Third Generation-sama, if it is true as you say, then Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura are all Orochimaru's accomplices? Orochimaru didn't kill them either!"
Third Generation said coldly: "The village will find out whether they are Orochimaru's accomplices."
Mizuki was speechless.
Third Generation added: "In addition, you secretly learned Rasengan, the Muji Ninjutsu invented by Fourth Hokage. This is also an unforgivable sin."
"All ninjutsu are the property of the village. You cannot learn them privately without permission."
"Rasengan is a powerful A-level ninjutsu. If you steal it secretly, you will be punished for treason."
Mizuki was stunned.
How did Third Generation know I knew Rasengan?
Telescope Technique, is it possible that it also covers the Kingdom of Waves?
Or is it that someone among the three, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, snitched and sent a message back to Konoha?
Or, Uchiha Itachi, that 25-year-old boy?
After thinking about it, Mizuki felt that Uchiha Itachi was the most suspicious.
So he said: "Third Generation-sama, I don't know Rasengan! That's a powerful ninjutsu created by Fourth Hokage. How could I do it?"
"Third Generation-sama said that I know Rasengan, do you have any evidence?"
Third Generation: "..."
He has evidence, but he can't show it.
Uchiha Itachi still carries the name of Konoha's traitorous ninja. The news he sent back cannot be used as evidence.
At this time, Danzo said: "Rasengan, let's not talk about it. You secretly learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. Is this always a fact?"
"This is the news from Anbu. They saw with their own eyes that when you were fighting Zabuza, you used the time and space ninjutsu to move your position instantly."
"The Flying Thunder God Technique was created by the Second Hokage and is the Forbidden Technique recorded in the "Book of Sealings."
"You know the Flying Thunder God Technique, so it goes without saying that you must have peeked at the "Sealed Book"."
"This alone can sentence you to death."
Mizuki glanced at Danzo.
This old coin really does distort the facts.
Mizuki didn't bother to argue with them anymore, he was ready to make a big move.
"Sir Third Generation, everyone, whether I am guilty or not will be discussed later. Now I have important information that I must tell you."
"This information is related to the safety of Konoha. If it is not handled properly, Konoha will probably be destroyed."
As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became weird.
Everyone looked at Mizuki like he was a fool.
"Scaremongering!" Danzo scolded coldly: "Don't expect to change the subject to get away with it, confess your crime immediately, and then accept justice."
Mizuki ignored him at all and simply said: "Konoha...collapse plan!"
In just six words, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly changed again.
Especially the Third Hokage, whose pupils shrank suddenly.
