- Root Fighters, by order of the Hokage, this base is under the direct control of Konoha, and Shimura Danzo has been recognized by the Council as having exceeded his authority and has been removed from command of the Anbu Ne," came a chakra-enhanced voice from across the base, and Jiraiya stepped forward, I order you to lay down your weapons and offer no resistance, until a new head is appointed, your unit will be transferred to the command of the Anbu Commander, those who do not obey will be declared nukenin and neutralized on the spot. You have one minute to think.
The stunned faces of the half-naked men and women who heard such news and began to look among themselves would have been laughable if they weren't holding naked blades and kunai, shimmying around and toward us KI.
- What happens to us after we surrender? - One of the shinobi finally asked.
Jiraiya turned to one of the Anbu Commander's aides.
- You will be detained until your identity is known, interviewed by Yamanaka for loyalty to Konohagakure, and enlisted into the Anbu, if you are not already on the roster, and then returned to service," the falcon-masked shinobi answered quickly, "Anbu, Anbu Ne, or the regular forces, it will be your choice.
- You heard him," the Hokage's apprentice turned to his opponents, "for my part, I guarantee the fulfillment of these conditions - no one will judge ordinary fighters for the commander's decisions, of course, if you have not betrayed the village by following Danzo's orders, then there is nothing to fear.
- What will happen to our students? - After a tense silence, the young girl asked, nervously clutching the kunai in her hand and looking around at the unmasked faces.
There was no immediate answer - the white-haired shinobi and the Anbushnik glanced questioningly at each other, but neither seemed to have been instructed by the Hokage or the Commander on the matter.
An omission, geez, and I'd better make light of this point, because the silence that hung made the rooters tense up.
- Since the recruits are not part of Konohagakure no Sato's armed forces, they will be treated as civilians," I stepped forward, pulling back my hood and pulling the mask off my face, as I needed to be recognized, "and depending on their age, they will be assigned either to orphanages or to the Shinobi Academy with a scholarship, with the Nara clan taking care of the finances, unless the Hokage does.
Judging by some of the pale faces and whispers among the Anbu Ne, they recognized me and realized that their chances against two shinobi with support were slim to none.
- Then, I surrender," the kunoichi nodded decisively after studying my face and threw the kunai to the floor.
