"Tsunade?"
"It's so late, is there something you need from me?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been using the Telescope Jutsu with his crystal ball, was startled by Tsunade's sudden entrance.
He quickly put away the crystal ball, and the alluring scene was instantly hidden.
"Roy, show Hokage-sama the full story."
Tsunade didn't want to talk much with Hiruzen Sarutobi and directly called out to Roy, who was standing by.
Roy nodded and walked in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"This..."
Roy raised his finger and extended it towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Upon touching Hiruzen Sarutobi's glabella, the information was transmitted.
"What is this...?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little surprised.
He wasn't surprised by the content Roy showed him, but by Roy's method.
If he mastered such a method, then the hidden comrades of those spies in the Village, and their methods of contact, could all be easily extracted.
It's important to know that no matter the era, intelligence is always crucial.
"I need an explanation."
"And, if this problem isn't resolved, I won't continue to stay in the Village."
Tsunade said with a serious expression.
Danzo already dared to act so brazenly; Tsunade couldn't guarantee she would always be by Roy's side.
Furthermore, staying in the Village would definitely involve undertaking special missions.
If something happened, regretting or seeking revenge afterward would be useless.
"I understand."
"Tsunade, don't worry."
"I will definitely make Danzo give you a reasonable explanation for this matter."
"However, Roy's ability... can it be used continuously?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Roy.
Now, what he needed to weigh was no longer Danzo's problem.
Instead, it was whether Roy was worth his protection.
"Yes, but it consumes a lot of Chakra and requires rest."
Roy nodded, then said innocently.
He even showed a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Very good!"
"Tsunade, I can handle this matter for you."
"But at the same time, I also need to borrow your disciple to visit the Konoha Interrogation Department."
Hiruzen Sarutobi directly stated his purpose.
"You can just talk to Roy about this."
"If he agrees, I have no objections."
"I just want to know the outcome of this matter's resolution."
Tsunade still carried hostility.
She already had great dissatisfaction with Konoha, and now this kind of thing had happened.
Her patience was limited.
"Alright."
"Yura, take Roy to the Interrogation Department. Have Yihegang hand over all difficult interrogations to Roy."
"You are responsible for protecting Roy's safety and recording the information Roy provides you."
"During this mission, all of Roy's requests must be met!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi called his personal guard.
This was different from an ANBU Ninja; Anbu were hidden to protect the Hokage.
Personal guards, on the other hand, always followed Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Understood, Hokage-sama."
A middle-aged Ninja appeared behind Roy and replied calmly.
Immediately, he took Roy away from there.
And Hiruzen Sarutobi also immediately sent a message to Danzo.
A few minutes later, Danzo arrived at the Hokage Office.
"Hokage-sama, is there something urgent that you called me over so late?"
Danzo glanced at Tsunade, then fixed his gaze on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"You know this person, right?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to the Root Organization member who had already lost his breath on the side, not concealing the anger in his heart.
Seeing the person on the ground, Danzo roughly knew what had happened.
However, he remained calm.
Because every member of his Root Organization had a cursed seal implanted.
It was simply impossible for them to betray the organization, let alone reveal mission information.
"He's one of our Root Organization members. What's wrong?"
"Where did he encounter danger and sacrifice himself?"
"Does this matter require our Root Organization to investigate?"
Danzo's expression remained unchanged, and he even asked with a hint of anger.
"Danzo, he was sent by you to monitor Tsunade."
"The purpose was to take Roy away while Tsunade was absent."
"He has fully confessed. Are you still going to pretend?"
The aura around Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly intensified.
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzo's heart was startled.
The situation was indeed as described.
However, he hadn't detected any cursed seals being released or touched here.
How could they possibly know?
That's right, Hiruzen Sarutobi was bluffing him!
But why would Hiruzen Sarutobi do such a thing?
After all, the relationship between the two of them was mutually beneficial.
Was it to compensate Tsunade, or was there some other reason?
In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Danzo's mind.
But none of these possibilities had any basis.
"Danzo, I now need you to give Tsunade a reasonable explanation."
"Or, you'd best recognize your mistake and correct it."
"Apologize where an apology is due."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said unequivocally.
At this point, Danzo finally understood.
This matter must have been discovered by Tsunade.
Moreover, Tsunade must have provided irrefutable evidence, otherwise Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't have such an attitude.
Tsunade might have even offered a benefit that Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't refuse.
"I apologize, it was indeed my doing."
"I didn't intend to harm Roy; I acted out of a desire to cherish talent!"
"Roy not only possesses strong Medical Ninja talent, but he also shows impressive performance in other areas of development."
"I believe that in the future, he will not just be an excellent Medical Ninja, but also a powerful existence capable of making the Ninja World tremble."
"That's why I had such thoughts..."
Danzo finished his explanation, then took two small steps backward.
"Tsunade, what I did was inappropriate. I hope you can forgive me."
"From now on, I promise that such a thing will not happen again."
Danzo bowed deeply to Tsunade.
An apology, after all, must look like an apology.
Even if Tsunade was his junior, he couldn't be perfunctory.
"I don't need your apology."
"Today, I will say one thing: if anything similar happens again, then you will be my enemy!"
"The kind that won't stop until one of us is dead."
Tsunade finished speaking and directly opened the Daimon of the Hokage Office.
"Oh, and one more warning for you."
"My ability to rally support against you might not be any lower than that of you, a so-called Konoha higher-up!"
Tsunade left these words and then disappeared from the scene.
Hearing Tsunade's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows furrowed tightly.
Because he understood that this was not only a threat to Danzo but also to him.
