Back in Konoha, the Hokage's office was still brightly lit. The usual hustle and bustle had been replaced by an eerie silence. Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado sat in silence, their expressions grim.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked even worse.
Chiyo's successful raid on their camp felt like a slap in the face, leaving Hiruzen and his advisors stunned.
"Danzo was too careless," Koharu finally said, breaking the silence. If it had been anyone else, she would have been the first to lash out, calling them useless. But Danzo was a special case. Criticizing him would be like criticizing herself and Homura because it was their influence that had secured Danzo's position as the commander of the frontlines.
Blaming Danzo would be the same as admitting their own mistake.
Turning to Hiruzen, Homura spoke up, "Hiruzen, the most important thing now is to organize a team of medical-nin and send them to the frontlines. There are still many injured waiting for treatment; this can't be delayed."
"I know that," Hiruzen replied, his face darkening further as he let out a frustrated sigh. "I've already ordered some of the wounded to be sent back. If all of them are crowded in the camp without proper treatment, it will only lead to more problems as time goes on."
"But the real issue is..."
As he spoke, Hiruzen's frustration reached a boiling point. He slammed his hand on the table, his voice rising.
"Danzo's negligence led to the camp being breached by the Sand ninjas. And as if that wasn't bad enough, he's so focused on his own glory that he's ignored everything else! Now, the medical unit has been wiped out. Do you realize how difficult it is to train medical-nin?"
"We're already stretched thin in the Land of Rivers, and now we're supposed to pull together a team of medics to send to him?"
"It's bad enough that his carelessness cost us the medical unit, but then he recklessly chased after the enemy, got himself surrounded, and only managed to escape after losing an eye and an arm."
What the hell is wrong with you, Danzo?
Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru fought tooth and nail to bring down Amegakure, and now Hanzō is ready to negotiate peace. But here you are, screwing things up on our end.
Not only have we suffered heavy losses, but now we've given Hanzo and the other villages something to laugh about.
Once word gets out, Konoha is going to be a laughingstock. And Danzo will be the butt of the joke.
After a long rant, the Third Hokage finally calmed down.
