It was obvious that the meeting couldn't continue, so Minato Namikaze immediately announced its conclusion, and everyone in the conference room stood up and left.
Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku had left, Uchiha En followed him out of the conference room.
Just as he was about to exit, Minato Namikaze called out to stop him: "En, wait a moment!"
"Hokage-sama, is there anything else?" Uchiha En asked.
"You were personally involved in the Amegakure incident, and you collected the evidence. I'll need your help later, so please stay."
Uchiha En nodded and returned to his previous seat.
At this point, only seven people remained in the conference room: Minato Namikaze, Uchiha En, Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the three Konoha high-level officials.
Minato Namikaze glanced at the Third Hokage and Danzo, secretly resolving that he absolutely could not be soft-hearted this time. Danzo's Root posed too great a threat; he had to seize this opportunity to at least cripple the Root organization!
Danzo, meanwhile, watched Uchiha En with a gloomy expression.
If this guy hadn't stopped them in the Land of Rain, the matter would have been settled long ago, and there wouldn't have been so many unexpected problems.
The people of the Uchiha Clan truly deserve to die!
Uchiha En noticed Danzo's gaze, stood up, and said, "Lord Danzo, since you don't want to see me, perhaps I should go outside and show the scroll to the people of the other clans!"
Seeing this, the Third Hokage quickly intervened to smooth things over: "En, Danzo didn't mean that. Don't be rash."
"En, stop it! Lord Danzo is our senior; you should show him basic respect," Minato Namikaze said with a hint of sarcasm.
Hearing this, Danzo's face darkened further.
Uchiha En smiled and sat down.
The Third Hokage sighed and said to Minato Namikaze, "Minato! Danzo and I have known each other for many years. Danzo is absolutely the most loyal person to Konoha. He definitely had no intention of colluding with Amegakure. I can vouch for him on that point."
Minato Namikaze didn't get angry upon hearing this, but asked politely, "Sandaime, I am also very respectful of Senior Danzo, but what he did this time was a bit too much."
"Hmph! I merely wanted to help Hanzou stabilize the situation. Amegakure is our neighbor, and its stability benefits us. What exactly was too much?" Danzo snorted and asked.
Minato Namikaze's expression darkened upon hearing this: "Senior Danzo, do you genuinely not know who you helped Hanzou besiege? Or are you just pretending to be ignorant here?"
The Third Hokage was stunned by Minato Namikaze's words, then turned to look at Danzo.
At this moment, Danzo's expression also showed some confusion.
"Minato Namikaze, do you know those three people from the Akatsuki Organization?" Danzo asked Minato Namikaze.
Uchiha En frowned upon hearing Danzo call Minato Namikaze by his full name, and immediately activated his Sharingan, looking at Danzo: "Lord Danzo, is the Hokage-sama's given name something you should address him by?"
Uchiha En's crimson Sharingan made Danzo feel immense pressure. He couldn't help but recall the times he had died by Uchiha En's hand in the Land of Rain.
The Third Hokage was also displeased by Danzo's disrespectful act of calling Minato Namikaze by his given name and did not try to help him.
