Bab 226: Chapter 226: Confirmed again, Utatane Koharu's death had nothing to do with Yan!
Although the plan wasn't ready yet, they needed to discuss it with the families first.
At least let everyone have an idea.
Building a new commercial area was a good thing, and the families eligible to participate wouldn't refuse.
The village's finances were tight, but many ninja families in Konohagakure had the ability to invest.
As long as the investment had enough return, few families would refuse such a good thing.
"Shizune, send someone to bring the old man to see me. Oh, and the advisory elders too."
The Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura had suspected if there were other factors in Utatane Koharu's death.
They had secretly reminded Tsunade, and she understood their meaning, which was basically distrust of Yan.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Shizune quickly left the Hokage's office and had Anbu notify the Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura.
After being notified, the two soon arrived at the Hokage's office.
"Please sit down."
Tsunade finished reading the document in her hand, confirmed there were no issues, stamped it, and put it away.
Then she spoke to the Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura sitting beside her:
"The test held by Kumogakure Village was forced to end, and Yan brought the team back early. A lot happened during this time."
Tsunade briefly explained what had happened.
"It seems Kumogakure Village is full of hostility towards us."
If Yan had deliberately caused trouble and been targeted, that would be another matter.
But the targeting started as soon as they arrived at Kumogakure Village, and Ai openly showed his hostility towards Konohagakure.
"He did very well."
After a moment of silence, Mitokado Homura spoke:
"Since Kumogakure Village is full of hostility towards us, we don't need to beg them for anything.
And Yan was right, from the moment they ended the test early and excluded Konohagakure, this joint Jonin test no longer needed to continue."
This clearly shows that they don't take Konohagakure seriously.
So what if they have representatives in the arena?
I don't believe Kumogakure Village couldn't inform us!
As a result, Konohagakure knew nothing, and the representatives of the four villages made the decision.
In that case, why should Konohagakure play along?
You four villages can do whatever you want, Konohagakure won't join you.
"I agree."
Tsunade nodded and said:
"The test was initiated by Kumogakure Village and has nothing to do with Konohagakure. If there's a problem with the test, it's Kumogakure Village's problem.
As for killing during the test... who said no one can die during a test?"
Joint tests have been held many times by the five great ninja villages!
Konohagakure has also initiated them.
The difference is, they were Chunin tests before!
Kumogakure Village thinks they are strong and important, so they came up with a Jonin test and didn't let the small villages participate. They could only watch.
Each test caused losses to the villages.
This time, only two people died, which is a very low death rate.
"Also, the information about the Akatsuki organization has been shared, and the money from selling the information about the Rinnegan has been received, easing the village's financial pressure."
"Besides..."
Tsunade glanced at the Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura, took a deep breath, and reminded them:
"I know it's hard for you to accept Elder Utatane Koharu's death. Even though I didn't get along with her, I also feel bad. I specifically asked Yan, and Elder Utatane Koharu's death was an accident, with no other factors involved."
"I don't want to see things that shouldn't happen."
Unless you have evidence that Elder Utatane Koharu's death was caused by Yan on purpose, this matter ends here.
"I want to see Kakashi."
The Third Hokage thought for a while and decided to meet Kakashi to ask about the situation.
"Okay."
Tsunade agreed without hesitation.
If she didn't agree, the Third Hokage would still contact Kakashi privately. So she decided to call him over and ask openly.
Kakashi had just returned home, washed up, and changed clothes when the Anbu arrived.
Hokage-sama requested his presence, and Kakashi quickly went to the Hokage's office.
Entering the office and seeing the Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura, Kakashi understood why Tsunade had called him.
"Hokage-sama, Third Hokage, Elder Advisor."
Kakashi bowed slightly to the three.
Tsunade sat with her arms crossed, signaling the Third Hokage to start.
The Third Hokage walked up to Kakashi, patted his shoulder, and sighed:
"You've worked hard. You should rest first, but there's something important that needs your confirmation, so I had to call you."
"Please ask, Third Hokage."
"Ah~~~"
The Third Hokage lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then said:
"Tell us in detail about the situation when the team left the village."
"Yes."
Kakashi respectfully said:
"After receiving the order from the Hokage's office, I arrived at the village gate within the given time. Uchiha Shisui and the elder arrived shortly after, and Advisor Uchiha Yan was the last to arrive. During this time, Advisor Uchiha Yan did not have any conflict or argument with the elder."
"As we were approaching the border and entering the Land of Iron, we encountered a group of four from the Akatsuki organization on the road."
"The elder had a verbal clash with them, and then the fight broke out."
In simple terms, Utatane Koharu tried to act high and mighty in front of the Akatsuki members, but she picked the wrong people.
Her attitude angered them, and the fight started.
"The Akatsuki members are very strong, all of them are S-rank rogue ninjas from various villages. The rogue ninja who killed the elder is named Kakuzu, a rogue ninja from Takigakure Village who defected many years ago. He is very powerful, and the elder couldn't hold on until the others could support her."
All of them are S-rank rogue ninjas. Yan killed Biwa Juzo and then rushed to support, but unfortunately, Utatane Koharu couldn't hold on.
Although the information scroll was sent back, the Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura didn't trust Yan.
That's why they had this play of asking Kakashi personally.
It seems that Yan had nothing to do with it. It can only be said that Utatane Koharu was unlucky and overdid her attitude, which cost her life.
"You've worked hard, go and rest."
Since Yan was not a suspect, the Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura couldn't hold on to it. Tsunade had already reminded them several times that this matter ends here.
"Yes."
Kakashi obediently left.
In the Hokage's office, only the Third Hokage, Tsunade, and Mitokado Homura were left.
The Third Hokage extinguished his cigarette and said in a deep voice: "I think the village needs to take some actions against the Akatsuki."
"I agree."
"We will."
The Akatsuki's actions this time completely angered Konohagakure. Not only the Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura, but even Tsunade couldn't stand it. Since they like to court death, let them come.
But first, let other villages help explore the way. After all, the bait of the Rinnegan has been thrown out.
I don't believe other villages can resist it.
