I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

Danzo was silent. Even someone as shameless as him could no longer argue at this point.

He looked at the Third Hokage, who had already closed his eyes at this moment.

”Since Elder Shimura has no objections, I will announce your punishment.”

For abusing his authority and trying to steal Anbu’s secrets, I hereby revoke all of Elder Shimura’s authority! Out of respect for Elder Shimura’s contribution to Konoha, I’ll imprison him for 30 years instead of executing him!”

Minato announced Danzo’s punishment with a serious face.

Originally, he ought to discuss this with the other higher-ups, but it was an emergency meeting, so Minato directly made the decision.

”Hehe, I have to thank you for locking me up for thirty years then, Minato,” Danzo said sarcastically. Minato might as well execute him rather than throw him into prison for thirty years. He did not want to die of old age in prison.

”Sigh...” Third opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

”Minato, don’t you think 30 years of imprisonment is too much? After all, Danzo has made a lot of contributions to Konoha. He has been protecting Konoha behind the scenes. Besides, he is already so old.”

There was a hint of pity in the Third Hokage’s eyes as he looked at Minato. He even addressed Minato by his name instead of Fourth to be more friendly with him. Maybe it was because they went back, both councils even spoke up.

Homura Mitokado said, ”What Hiruzen said was right. For so many years, Danzo has also contributed a lot. Being imprisoned for 30 years is a bit too much.”

Koharu Utatane also chimed in, ”Revoking his power makes sense. After all, Danzo did commit such a big mistake, but 30 years of imprisonment is a bit too much.”

Bam!!!

Minato slammed the table with the same serious look on his face.

”Then how should we punish him?” Minato asked.

Third thought about it and suggested, ”How about reducing his sentence to three years, but all of Danzo’s property is also confiscated?”

”I think that is good. Danzo can also reflect on his mistake for three years.” Koharu said.

”I think so too.” Homura nodded.

Minato took off his Hokage hat and put it on the table. He first looked at the Third Hokage, followed by Koharu and Homura.

”Stealing Anbu’s secret technique and ordering an Anbu. From these two crimes alone, do you think that punishment will satisfy the public?” Minato said in a low voice.

”It certainly is not good enough. How about five years?” Third sighed and added another two years.

”Ten years of imprisonment! And since Fujiwara Nagasawa did well in this incident, I want him to be promoted to be Hokage’s assistant.” Minato argued.

Danzo would be imprisoned for at least ten years, and at the same time, Nagasawa would join Konoha’s higher-ups.

The last Hokage assistant was Danzo, but since the Third Hokage retired, he was effectively retired as well.

Third sighed: ”It’s decided then.”

He had tried his best, but he could not just completely ignore Minato’s decision. Otherwise, Minato would be like a Hokage without any authority at all.

”Ten years, haha.” Danzo sneered despite being disheartened.

Danzo had spent his entire life working hard for Konoha, but he ended up being imprisoned for ten years!

Nagasawa shook his head with some regret. In exchange for promoting him, Minato had to sacrifice his wish to lock Danzo until he died.

’Why didn’t Danzo cooperate with any external organizations or other countries this time?’ Nagasawa was still not satisfied.

If he could charge Danzo with one more crime, the Third Hokage really wouldn’t be able to save him anymore.

Soon, Danzo was taken into custody, and what awaited him was ten years of imprisonment.

At the end of the meeting, the Third Hokage got off his seat and was ready to go back.

Minato saw that the Third Hokage just stood still for a moment before leaving.

Perhaps it was because he felt bad for his good friend, or he felt like their era had passed because of this incident, so he felt sad.

”I’m sorry, but I have to do this, Third-sama.” Minato said silently in his heart.

When the Third Hokage called him by his first name and looked at him with pleading eyes, he was indeed touched. However, it was Nagasawa who created this opportunity. If he did not take down Danzo in one fell swoop this time, there wouldn’t be another time.

”At least things will be better now.” Nagasawa was relieved.

Many things would happen in these ten years. At that time, even if Danzo came out, he would just be a weak character who couldn’t stir up any trouble.

”From now on, you will be the Hokage’s assistant. Do your best, will you?” Minato calmed himself down and punched Nagasawa in the chest lightly with a smile.

”Haven’t I done my best yet? I have sacrificed a lot of time I can spend with Nono for work, you know.” Nagasawa punched back.

”Haha, alright. I didn’t phrase it quite right. I mean keep up the good work.” Minato smiled gently.

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

Shisui followed Kakashi’s directions and arrived at a quiet stream.

After arriving, he did not find anyone who fit Might Guy’s description. He only saw a young man wearing a green jumpsuit with a bowl haircut.

He believed that Might Guy should be somewhat similar to Nagasawa. After all, the student should resemble their master, and he didn’t think this young man with a bowl haircut resembled Nagasawa whatsoever.

However, Shisui felt that he could not judge people by their appearance. After all, appearance was something you were born with. What mattered was personality.

Shisui walked up to the boy in green jumpsuit and asked, ”Are you Commander Nagasawa’s apprentice, Might Guy?”

”That’s right, I am the Nagasawa-sensei’s apprentice, Might Guy.” Guy gave him a thumbs-up and smiled brightly.

Shisui: ...

This boy in front of him doesn’t seem to share Nagasawa’s personality either...

”I heard from Kakashi that you’re really good in Six Powers. I want to ask you for guidance if that’s okay.” Shisui thought about it and decided to believe in Kakashi.

After all, Kakashi said that Might Guy was better in Six Powers than him, and Kakashi would not lie to him about something like this.

Appearance and personality did not represent strength.

”Hahaha, I didn’t expect my best friend to think so highly of me. However, it’s not like Kakashi is any less good in Six Powers than me. We simply take different paths.” Might Guy laughed heartily.

He focused on the Taijutsu approach, while Kakashi focused on the Ninjutsu approach.
