Reason 3

"But in the contract, everything should be fair and transparent so I need them even if they are just kids," Lou said.

"But they will not understand all of this at all," Sarutobi said.

"I think you're wrong, did you forget? Does Konoha Village send a bunch of kids to war with just a simple command? What's hard in sitting and listening?"

He looks at Sarutobi then at Shukaku then the rest making everyone feel embarrassed.

That's right, in the past, they send a bunch of kids to war without any proper understanding of what are they going to face, how hard is sitting and listening for those kids?

"T-This... " Shukaku feels the gaze of the Third Hokage so he uses his brain faster to come up with a solution.

"I know you're smart but sometimes being dumb is also good merit, if you tell me you send those kids because they finally graduate then I will ask you again, what did they learn from the school? Is it enough?" Lou playfully asks watching their expression.

"It's enough!" Danzo's idiotic answerback, maybe he was still angry at Lou from what happened yesterday.

"Transformation Technique, Clone Technique, and Body Replication Technique are enough? How strong and fast is the shuriken throw of a kid? What a Chunin kid can do in war except be canon fodder?"

"Maybe some of those kids survive and live but the rest? Dead if not disabled and if they are lucky enough, becoming lab mice."

Bang!

Sarutobi's table cracked in two, and tyrannical chakra spread around making everyone stand in fright.

"Master Hokage!"

All of them look at Sarutobi, almost all of them know the part of the past scandal that's why this never open in any meeting but now someone openly said it, even look at them like taunting them.

"What's the matter, Third Hokage? Why angry?"

Sarutobi looked at Lou with a gloomy face, he asked." Are you spying on our village?"

"What? Is there even something that can hide inside my land?"

"..... What do o you know?"

Lou playfully said while watching his expression.

That hypocritical face hides the darkest part of Konoha.

"Seeing you want to know, then I will tell you what I know so listen carefully."

"Let's say I know how Senju Clan disappear, they went because they tend to do some 'special mission' and somehow the enemy found it and ambushed them killing them in the process."

"The most absurd of this is, the same 'special mission' send to another and the same time, the enemy miraculously found it, this happens numerous times until Senju Clan left some outside clan member, a gambling princess, and a kid."

Everyone's expression changes, they fill a chill running down their spine while listening silently.

"After almost all members of the clan were killed, the next thing happens is horrible, the only man of the Senju Clan send to reinforce the Frontline, but another miracle happen, the enemy actually know this and set an ambush for them resulting in the grandson of the previous two Hokage died from detonating talisman."

Lou stops and then looks at Danzo," Do you know what is the funniest part? I can sense Miwari from someone who is not even Senju, what do you think is the reason for this?"

Every head of the clan becomes pale, they look at each other trying to figure out who did this.

While Danzo on the other hand is trying to hide it from everyone.

Sarutobi also knows it, he doesn't need to look or ask because there's only one who can do this kind of thing.

"Danzo..... What did you do!?"

Danzo instantly understand it, he angrily said." I'm doing this for Konoha!"

"Danzo, from now on, you will be imprisoned until I said so!"

"Sarutobi you will regret this?"

Lou who watching them clap a couple of times then said." The assassination of Hokage, destroying the founder of the Konoha, and even using their deaf body to experiment only gets imprisonment?"

"What do you want to say, Mr. Lou?" Sarutobi ask trying to hide his overspilled anger.

"Nothing, I just found that this old man's crime is lower than a crime by saving his comrade who eventually mocks him to death."

This time, Kakashi's face suddenly become weird.
