"Kakashi, willing to accept punishment."
"Kurenai Yuhi, willing to accept punishment."
"Might Guy, willing to accept punishment."
All three lowered their heads in unison. In truth, they had already expected this outcome on their way back to Konoha. Faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen’s punishment, they accepted it without resistance.
They had more or less seen this coming.
"You three!" Hiruzen’s voice trembled with anger as he looked at the three standing before him, perfectly aligned. He took a deep breath and suppressed the fire in his chest.
"It seems your mental state is out of balance. From now on, you are temporarily relieved of your duties in the ANBU. Reflect at home. Until you fully realize your mistakes, you are not allowed to take on any missions."
"Yes," the three responded together, without any objections.
"Leave," Hiruzen said at last, waving them off. He didn’t want to see them right now.
The three exchanged a quick glance, then silently exited the Hokage’s office.
"Hiruzen... it looks like there’s no hope left for those three. What do we do now?" Shimura Danzo asked coldly, his eyes following the trio as they left.
