Chapter 124 - 10 Years
Danzo was silent. Even someone as shameless as him could no longer argue at this point.
He looked at the Third Hokage, who had already closed his eyes at this moment.
"Since Elder Shimura has no objections, I will announce your punishment."
For abusing his authority and trying to steal Anbu's secrets, I hereby revoke all of Elder Shimura's authority! Out of respect for Elder Shimura's contribution to Konoha, I'll imprison him for 30 years instead of executing him!"
Minato announced Danzo's punishment with a serious face.
Originally, he ought to discuss this with the other higher-ups, but it was an emergency meeting, so Minato directly made the decision.
"Hehe, I have to thank you for locking me up for thirty years then, Minato," Danzo said sarcastically. Minato might as well execute him rather than throw him into prison for thirty years. He did not want to die of old age in prison.
"Sigh..." Third opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Minato, don't you think 30 years of imprisonment is too much? After all, Danzo has made a lot of contributions to Konoha. He has been protecting Konoha behind the scenes. Besides, he is already so old."
There was a hint of pity in the Third Hokage's eyes as he looked at Minato. He even addressed Minato by his name instead of Fourth to be more friendly with him. Maybe it was because they went back, both councils even spoke up.
Homura Mitokado said, "What Hiruzen said was right. For so many years, Danzo has also contributed a lot. Being imprisoned for 30 years is a bit too much."
