Danzō's sharp words have forced Mito Menitis, Zhuan Xiao Chun, and Yuan Fei into a very awkward situation.
However, no matter what, as the Fourth Hokage, Watergate must not be overthrown, otherwise, it will only cause greater losses. The most urgent thing now is to find a person who will take the blame for Watergate, and this person's status must not be low, otherwise, how can he order around the Fourth Hokage?
"In any case, this impeachment proposal can't be passed by just the two of us. If we must find a person to calm the resentment in the hearts of the people, then let me do it. Anyway, I'm already so old, it doesn't matter if a little bit of dirty water is poured on me. But Watergate is still young, he still has to do more meaningful things for the Wood leaf! "
Looking at Zhuan Xiao Chun, Mito Menitis directly stood up, saying that he will clear Watergate's name, and all the mistakes will be placed on him.
However, Danzō wasn't satisfied with Mito Menitis coming forward to take all the blame, he looked coldly at Mito Menitis, Danzō said with a sneer.
"Homura, are you old and confused? Do you think the people of Wood leaf are so easy to bully? You are just a representative of the Elders of Kiba, how can you order around the Wood leaf's hope, who has the strength and support of the Fourth Hokage? "
Danzō's words were half flattering and half attacking, making all the people in the room unable to relax.
First of all, Danzō can be said to have ruthlessly attacked the status of the Elders of Kiba, and secondly, he was also looking down on Mito Menitis and Zhuan Xiao Chun.
"Danzō, you bastard!"
Mito Menitis was also an impatient person, when he heard Danzō looking down on him and the Elders of Kiba, he directly slammed the table, whether it was his beard or his hair, they all stood up in anger. It seems that if he couldn't hold it in, he would step forward and fight Danzō to the death, but Zhuan Xiao Chun quietly cast his eyes on the Three Generations.
The Three Generations have been in power for a long time, whether it is Mito Menitis's performance, Zhuan Xiao Chun's gaze, or Danzō's aggressiveness, the Three Generations actually saw through them. The only one who can clear Watergate's name and take the blame for him is himself.
From a personal point of view, he is Watergate's advisor, his own disciple made a mistake, so naturally he should solve it.
From a political point of view, Minato's position as the Fourth Hokage was also promoted by Kuroto. Since Kuroto wanted to list Minato as a candidate for the position of Hokage, Kuroto also had to bear the crime of not being able to judge people properly.
Whether it is Mito Menitis, Zhuan Xiao Chun, or Shimura Danzō, from the beginning, their goal is him and the legacy of the First Hokage.
Gently coughing a few times, the Three Generations knocked the pipe in his hand on the table, and the remaining gray ash and sporadic fire directly floated on the ground.
"Homura, you sit down. This kind of thing is not worth arguing with Danzō, they are all old people, whether it is doing or speaking, it is best to be a little more mature. That's right, Minato can't be replaced! If someone has to bear the responsibility, then let this old man do it. Anyway, I am going to retire, and things like reputation are not worth caring about.
When Watergate left the village, he and I discussed it, and no matter what the process was, in the end, I let Watergate go. Let me bear the responsibility, there is nothing to worry about. We have been in this meeting for two days, so let's stop here. Let this old man bear all the consequences. Everyone can go back now … "
Mito Menitis looked at Watergate, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, and sighed slightly. Mito Menitis stood up, and just as he was about to say something, Three Generations waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Go back … There is no need to say so much …"
Whether it was Zhuan Xiao Chun, Mito Menitis, or Shimura Danzō, they all symbolically bowed to Three Generations before turning around and leaving the large conference room. Only Three Generations and Watergate were left in the large conference room.
Three Generations once again filled his tobacco pipe with shredded tobacco, and a rough hand swept across the tobacco pipe, causing it to burn on its own. The smoke produced by the shredded tobacco slowly began to fill the sealed conference room, as if a thin veil was covering everyone's face, causing everything to fall into a haze.
After a long time, Three Generations finally took the lead to speak.
"Watergate, how do you feel about this kind of meeting?"
Watergate shook his head, and he seemed to be in a bad mood as he spoke.
"When I was on a mission, I saw some local officials handling cases. The criminals were tied up and forced to kneel in the hall, and they could only passively accept the judgment. Although I didn't have my hands tied with a rope, it still felt somewhat similar. Being judged like this, being criticized like this, and not being able to fight in my own hands really made me feel bad. "
Three Generations saw Watergate's somewhat vexed face and smiled instead.
"You're still too young. Although my life seems to be glorious, it's not rare for me to break my teeth and swallow my pride. We're born as humans, and we're destined to face all kinds of problems. Some of them are provoked by you, and some of them you can't resist at all. These things can't be avoided. Did you see what those people were trying to do? "
Watergate wasn't a stupid person. Although this meeting was to decide whether his impeachment would pass, he was actually just an excuse. Only when these people wanted to prove their righteous position, would they pull out Watergate's actions and criticize him a few times, but in fact, their goal wasn't that at all.
"They're just not satisfied with the power in their hands, and they want to have more power in Wood Leaf. I can still understand these things. "
Three Generations looked at Watergate's slightly depressed face and smiled as if the person who was forced to abdicate wasn't him at all.
"It's good that you can see it. When I took over, Wood Leaf was still very united, so the situation was a little better than yours. What you need to face now is Root, who is fully fledged, and the Family Alliance that thirsts for power. The key is to let go of some things at the right time so that they can temporarily settle down and receive more opportunities to strengthen their power. "
