Chapter 315: Deputy Head of Anbu
Hokage's Office.
Seeing Nara Shikatsuno and Yellow Dog arrive together and hearing their report, Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head in thought for a few seconds before having an assistant summon Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "The rogue ninja Uchiha Madara and the man calling himself Sarutobi Ganosuke represent the most severe crisis the Hidden Leaf has faced since the war ended.
"The diplomatic letter from the Land of Grass Daimyo is extremely strongly worded.
"His recent string of attacks were not assassination attempts by nomads, but were all because of the Konoha Guardian Ninja.
"Not only did the Konoha Guardian Ninja fail to protect him, but they brought him endless trouble and caused him to suffer heavy losses.
