"In the end, Sabutori wasn't off the mark," Homaru said as the three elders stayed hidden. Though each was old, they had a combined experience to rival the Sannin when they were alive. "He said if the 4th ever found out, we'd probably be killed."

"I fail to see the joke," Danzo said, "Yes, he was off by one Hokage, but our situation isn't that good."

"We need to inform the Daimyo and get this resolved quickly," Koharu said.

"Will that be enough?" Danzo asked.

"What do you mean?" Homaru asked.

"Tsunade may be reckless at times, but she is a very popular person. She's helped unify this village after the invasion and the giant incidents," Danzo said, "Simply removing title won't mean anything if word gets out of what we did. I doubt even the Daimyo will want to fight against Tsunade if she has the giants backing."

"Hmm, those giants could be an issue," Homaru said, as they started moving again. But as soon as they moved, they were surrounded by ten ANBUs, with Kakashi and Hiashi Hyuuga.

"Neji's increased field of vision was very useful here," Kakashi said.

"Yes," Hiashi said, "He was useful."

"You had to mention them," Koharu said. Suddenly Danzo dropped his cane.
