My name is Miyuki Uchiha – A New World Order

"The Security Department, during its investigation into Shimura Danzo's allies, discovered this matter. The rumors within the village regarding the late White Fang were spread under Danzo's instruction. Moreover, even the current head of the Shimura clan, Shimura Hiroshi, along with several others, were involved in this, and it was they who carried out the silencing of White Fang's teammates at that time." Miyuki said slowly, observing the reactions of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two advisors.

Upon hearing this, the two advisors appeared noticeably flustered, while Sarutobi Hiruzen, though less visibly shaken, seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Miyuki understood that these three were likely far from clean regarding the White Fang incident.

"This matter should end here. The village has long since reached a consensus about White Fang," Koharu Utatan immediately intervened.

"Is that so? Should we just let the villainous slander of a hero who bled for the village continue? Should the hero, even after death, remain wrongfully accused?" Miyuki said, his gaze fixed on her, speaking in a low tone.

"That failure of the mission was indeed White Fang's responsibility," Mitokado Homura said.

"But he did it to protect his comrades, didn't he?" Miyuki said calmly.

"A ninja's duty is to complete the mission!" Koharu Utatan asserted.

"Is this also the stance of the Third Hokage?" Miyuki turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen. "This doesn't seem to align with the Will of Fire."

Miyuki's words fell, and a strange silence fell over the Hokage's office. Nara Shikaku almost wished he could disappear into the shadows, a technique from his clan.

Miyuki couldn't help but laugh inwardly as he observed this scene.

The profession of a ninja, to put it simply, was a killing machine hired to avert disaster. No matter how beautifully one spoke about the Will of Fire, could it really conceal the dirtiness of the ninja profession?

But at this moment, the Will of Fire was truly useful.

Could Sarutobi Hiruzen deny these words? Of course, he could not.

The Will of Fire, as the political foundation for Sarutobi Hiruzen and the political correctness of Konoha, had long been intertwined with him. One could say that in Sarutobi Hiruzen's case, even if you questioned whether Asuma was truly his son, you could not question the correctness of the Will of Fire.

"Miyuki, I understand your point," Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply, then said, "We will restore White Fang's reputation, but the investigation into this matter will stop here. After all, it happened so long ago, and it would be a waste of time to investigate further."

"Since this is the Hokage's decision, the Security Department will comply," Miyuki's expression darkened as he spoke.

At this moment, Miyuki was nearly overjoyed. Once he confirmed that these three old folks were not innocent in the White Fang case, his goal for today was simply to restore White Fang's reputation. If the investigation had continued and something were uncovered, it could have created a bigger mess. Miyuki, for now, was not ready to tear everything apart with them. Therefore, he was already thinking about how to delay things. To his surprise, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself had stopped the investigation, taking the responsibility.

"Additionally, according to the current information gathered by the Security Department, Shimura Danzo has deep ties with the rogue ninja Orochimaru," Miyuki kept his expression neutral. "But Orochimaru's matters involve external forces, so I would like to request the Hokage's approval for the Security Department to work with the ANBU to capture Orochimaru, a rogue ninja endangering Konoha's safety. This will also provide some closure for the innocent souls who perished in his cruel experiments."

"Orochimaru?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression darkened at the mention of the name.

The matter from back then truly needed closure.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly, made up his mind, and looked at Miyuki. "I understand, Miyuki. This mission will be led by Kakashi, with the Security Department assisting. How does that sound?"

"Understood," Miyuki nodded in acknowledgment.

"This time, we must capture Orochimaru, please see to it."

"Understood! Loyal! Faithful!" Miyuki's expression turned solemn, and he saluted with his right hand.

Miyuki left without taking the drooling Shikaku, and after his departure, the two advisors looked at Nara Shikaku, who had been invisible until now. Nara Shikaku nodded and spoke:

"Hokage, I heard from Choza that this child, Arashi, was forcefully taken by Danzo when he was young. Although he has committed unforgivable crimes under Danzo's guidance, and he is now reaping what he sowed, I beg you to show mercy and spare his life for the sake of the contributions of the Nara clan in the past."

"Shikaku, don't say that. This is Danzo's fault," Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. "Take this child back to the Nara clan and take care of him properly."

"Understood," Nara Shikaku nodded, then took Arashi and left the Hokage's office.

Once Nara Shikaku was gone, Mitokado Homura immediately voiced his impatience, "Hiruzen, are we just letting this go? Are we going to watch the Uchiha clan continue to act recklessly?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe, took a deep drag, and looked at his two old partners, saying, "Miyuki won't do that. He is a good child who understands the Will of Fire."

"Hiruzen!" Koharu Utatan said urgently, "He is from the Uchiha clan, don't forget the teachings of the Second Hokage!"

"Hiruzen, Danzo was right. You're being too indecisive," Mitokado Homura added. "If you continue to let the Uchiha clan go unchecked, one day you'll regret it!"

"Silence!" Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed his hand on the table angrily. "I am the Hokage!"

"You think I want to do this? Because of Danzo's Sharingan, we have to give the Uchiha clan an explanation! If not, we'll be forcing them to rebel, do you understand? The Uchiha clan already has a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, but there is no second First Hokage in this village!" Sarutobi Hiruzen chastised them both. "It's Miyuki who has suppressed the rebellious voices in the clan. That's the best outcome we could hope for!"

"Hiruzen…" Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's furious rant, the two advisors fell silent.

After a long while, once the tobacco in Sarutobi Hiruzen's pipe had burned out, he spoke again, "I'll send a letter and have Jiraiya return."
