The smell of tobacco was present, two people could be seen in the the room with one of them with a pipe in his mouth, occasionally exhaling out the smoke which create the current smell of the room.
Danzo was clearly irritated from the smoke, he handed Hiruzen a scroll, which was taken and opened.
"Our investigations have found certain locations within our country which could have the activities of that company being carried out. Certain packers and moving companies have been observed to have workers with abnormal strength unfitting a civilian workers. This was located in the northern regions.
There is also a seafood based company near the Land of Tea, where the fisherman were seen actively using water style ninjutsu to catch fishes. There are also few other cases in the eastern parts as well." Danzo reported, his expression remained emotionless contrary to Hiruzen's.
"Do you have ANY good news for me? Few minutes ago I was told, some kid in chunin exams tried to burn another kid alive! And that brain damage kid you talked about...he bet all his wealth I illegal gambling halls and multiplied his money.
I'm considering arresting him so he'll off the streets for good! Dear God...that kid needs help." Hiruzen said, eyeing Danzo for anything useful.
"From what I know, those gambling halls are also used by government officials and nobles...should I send a team to arrest them too? I did heed your advice though. I made sure kids like him are under strict supervision and their actions are tracked at all times. You don't have to worry about these thing anymore.
Anyways, after we found out about these companies and their workers, I dispatched teams who have gone undercover in those places and are currently finding evidence or any connection with that company." Danzo said, his brows slightly twitched, giving Hiruzen just enough to know that he managed to push his buttons.
"Have you tracked down shinobis who left the force after their contract ended? Mostly it is those shinobi who start this type of businesses. Although, a shinobi training regular civilians is very unethical and can be arrested, if it's not done without permission.
I don't remember permitting any one in the past month. Have you investigated that?" Hiruzen asked, he presented to think deeply but Danzo knew that its all an act. Hiruzen had amazing memory since childhood, just like Tobirama sensei.
"Already working on it. We are currently finding where exactly are those shinobi and what they are doing. Most of them have already been confirmed working as regular people in shops and enjoying a life of comfort. Very few actually left konoha and went on to work somewhere else."
"Well then, you know what needs to be done..." Hiruzen stood up and stepped closer, whispering "...I don't care how extreme measures you have to take, but I want these people gone. Interpret 'gone' as whatever you want." Hiruzen walked outside of the office leaving Danzo alone in the room.
"Whatever I what? Now...it fits my code." Danzo muttered absent-mindedly

"How can I help!" Satoru said, the gloves and the surgical mask stuck closely to his skin, he inhaled in the smell of disinfectant and small amount blood in the air.
"He has broken bones in his skull and injuries on his face and chest. Help him deal with it." The medical nin said, pointing at another medic.
"Okay." Satoru quickly took the tray of tools and stood near him.
The medical nin glanced at Satoru before asking, "How many medical jutsus do you know? What do you specialize in?" His attention returned to Tatsuo.
"I know all the basic ones taught to beginners. I specialize in poisons." Satoru said.
"Okay, find out where the internal injuries are and mark them."
Satoru nodded before weaving handsigns and used the jutsu mystic palm and placed his now green glowing palm on Tatsuo's face. He analyzed the structure of his face and mentally noted all the fractures and muscles on his face. He used his left hand to use a marker to mark all the places where the surgery would take place.
Satoru had a lot of experience in healing himself, he knew a good bunch about himself, but not others. His speed was taking the hit as he worked at a snail's pace.
The medic looked at Satoru concentrating, he struggled and sweat was building up on his forehead, he worked very slowly, probably from the fear of messing up. The medic placed a hand on his shoulder, in a reassuring manner. "Don't worry about messing up. It's normal to be nervous when healing your friends, it's human nature to worry about messing up. We still want you to speed it up, we are being held back by you."
Satoru nodded in understanding, then he noticed the nurses were looking at him, one of them was tapping his feet in impatience.
Satoru said "I think I have located all the injuries on his skull. I can do the rest after you guys are done." The nurses began perparing the tools from the tray, one of them filled a syringe with anesthesia while the other began disinfecting the marked places, preparing for incision.
"His next match will be in just a few days, is the physical anesthesia required?" Satoru asked, his and Tatsuo's matches were the one of the first so once this round ends they'll be fighting first. The anesthesia might effect his performance later on.
"So, do you know the pain numbing jutsu? That jutsu will have to be used regularly till he heals, we don't have enough time or manpower for that." One of the nurses said, handing the syringe to the medical nin.
"I do know the jutsu, and I can do it. I want him to be able to fight in the next rounds." Satoru replied, standing near the medical nin holding the syringe.
"Fine."
Satoru stepped aside and watched them perform the surgery for a few minutes before a question popped in his mind.
"How will the nerves be healed? I have never treated an injury of this level, is it permament?" Satoru asked, one of the nurse standing by, he turned to him and said "Although nerve cells do not regenerate or reproduce, stimulating them with yang chakra can regenerate them to some extent. On extreme cases, we will use stem cells we harvested from umbilical cords and broken milk teeth to help create the nerve cells." The nurse answered.
"Sounds complex, way too complex. How many ninjas can actually perform this feat? I want to learn it!" Satoru stared at the medical nin realigning the facial bones and putting them together like Lego bricks.
"Lady Tsunade and Orochimaru are few known to be able to use stem cells in that way. Fortunately we do have one of them available in case something goes wrong."
Satoru nodded in understanding, before stepping back, he looked down at his his hands and green light began coming out.
He concentrated on the yang chakra in his palms, carefully using shape transformation to his best of ability to mold it. He remembered back to when he used it to heal Soma, recreating that feeling and creating what he wanted to.
Satoru created strings made of neon green chakra which radiated light with a quiet hum, his fingers felt relaxed just from holding the strings, which wrapped around his fingers like games he used to play with Tatsuo when they were kids.
Satoru walked near the medic who was currently using mystic palm to heal Tatsuo, Satoru waited for the moment when the medic stepped back to pick up a tool and stood near Tatsuo's face.
The nurses were just about to tell him to stop but then saw...what he did. The strings correctly wrapped around Tatsuo's tissues and nerves in a very complex pattern, which looked mesmerizing from everyone's view.
The medic who stepped back to pick his tool, recognized that the green chakra was yang release chakea and watched in curiousity as to what Satoru was doing, ready to stop him in case he did something reckless.
Satoru carefully poured chakra through the strings into the wounds, to the deepest layers with deadly precision. The strings directly healed the exact places where damage was the highest, allowing Satoru to heal Tatsuo at speeds which was exponentially faster than them.
The nurses quickly began marking out where Tatsuo had taken damage on his torso and arms, making sure that Satoru could heal it quickly.
"I forgot to tell you guys, but I'm a shadow clone. I'll need you guys to pour your chakra into me or I'll dissipate soon. The real me is currently being healed in the room next to this and won't be awake for a while. I'm sure that not all of you are going to deplete all of your chakra, so, give it all to me." Satoru said, not moving his eyes away from Tatsuo.
At this point Satoru had already healed Tatsuo more than the medics did since the beginning. Satoru looked as if he was struggling and then everyone noticed.
"His chakra reserves are almost about to deplete! Do as he says quickly. This jutsu of his is very taxing on his body, he'll dispel soon." One of them said and others quickly followed.
The medic who was an adult chunin had a lot more chakra than Satoru, who was a preteen kid. The medic was able to complete refill his chakra and still had enough to refill him halfway through.
Satoru had almost completely fixed Tatsuo by the time the medic was drained all of his chakra. He then observed the arms and the torso, mentally preparing himself to start again.
Everyone else was worried, Satoru had managed to heal Tatsuo's head, but that required the entire chakra reserves of the senior most medic here. If everyone else's chakra were to be added up, they would only amount to only twice the medic's chakra. It wasn't enough to complete the procedure. Satoru would dissipate and everyone here would be all out of chakra.
Since the tournament was going on as they were working, more and more people were being healed and less and less medics were available to help them.
"Kid, you are aware of the situation your are putting us in, aren't you? If you don't heal him in the amount chakra you have and dispel yourself, we won't have anyone to help us and we won't be able to do anything ourselves. I think you should stop." The tired medic said, sweat dripped from his body. He breathed heavily due to the chakra exhaustion.
"Clan shinobi have more chakra than civilian shinobi, just grab anyone, give them a few backs and bring them here. I'll deal with this and you guys can clean up after me. I'm. Not. Stopping." Satoru said, his eyes didn't even flinch as he showed no concern to the people who were now struggling with chakra exhaustion.
The medic saw madness in Satoru's eyes, one that screamed, that he will not stop until this boy is healed, no matter the cost.
One of them quickly left the room to bring someone with large enough reserves to help complete this.
Satoru moved from one hand to the other, confident that he had healed all the damage in it and Tatsuo would have no trouble using his arm after waking up.
"Guys! I brought someone. He said he'll help." One of the nurses said, bringing in a boy who had brown hair and a powerful yet lean physique.
"You need my chakra to heal your friend right? I'll help you. You guys should probably rest, I'll handle it." He said, walking towards Satoru with cocky smirk.
"You'll do just fine." Satoru muttered, he could sense the sheer amount of chakra in the boy.
"One refreshing chakra refill with ice, coming right up!" The boy said, fulfilling his promise, refilling Satoru with ease.
