    “Where do we start?” Asami tried to gain some time. Totally unprepared, she replaced Fumihiko, not the brightest idea in retrospect. Regretfully, she had manoeuvred herself into an unfavourable position.

    “Danzo’s men? Is that bad?” Fumihiko raised an eyebrow, not much to her surprise. Fumihiko didn''t know Danzo. He didn''t know the rumours, the stories. The people who knew the dark side of Konoha were few outside the ANBU.

    Shibi and Tsune, meanwhile, were different. The mere mention of the name Danzo sufficed to make them tense up. They obviously knew more due to their involvement in clan politics. They were familiar with Danzo and the reputation that preceded him. How much they knew, however, was a different question altogether.

    Asami clicked her tongue. “Oh, not at all, Fumihiko, not bad at all. After all, Danzo is undoubtedly a paragon of true virtue.”

    “...” Fumihiko blinked. He didn''t understand. Not that she cared.

    Danzo, Root, useless genin. So much hassle. The council provided her with plenty of inexperienced genin cannon fodder. They lacked the necessary cohesion to hold the line without a blocking detachment behind them. And now the council gave her two battalions full of Root ANBU who were about to do whatever behind her back when she wasn''t looking. Wonderful, simply wonderful. What she needed now was a solution. A good solution.
