Chapter 121 - Things Get WorseThe seriousness of the matter drove the four people in the Conference Hall to think carefully about this matter and temporarily abandon the idea of selling their teammate.
Mitokado Homura: āHiruzen, can you confirm Narutoās big brother, who is it?ā
Utatane Koharu: āOr, what kind of existence is this ābig brotherā?ā
Several people stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with dignity, but unfortunately, they were greatly disappointed in the end. After such a big battle, they couldnāt get any useful information.
They saw Sarutobi Hiruzen shake his head.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didnāt care about the contemptuous eyes of several old close friends and said his troubles unabashedly to see if any old close friends could solve this problem: āWho is his big brother? Letās not talk about it. For the time being, the most important thing at the moment is, how should we face the next question now?ā
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say what the problem was.
But the few people present knew it all.
Uchiha Itachi!
The news of Sasukeās death has spread; who will greet Uchiha Itachiās anger next?
Sarutobi Hiruzen had initially thought about it and wanted to stay with Uchiha Itachi and perish together or to leave a āheroā reputation. But what now? Uzumaki Naruto still has this hidden danger. So, how can he die now?
Narutoās inadvertent disclosure of the ānewsā, coupled with Sasukeās disappearance, can be said to disrupt his deployment this time completely.
Shimura Danzo gave the first response.
Shimura Danzo stood up, coldly said: āI donāt have any opinion on the next thing. You are the Hokage; just do whatever you want. Oh, also, there are things I need to deal with, and I will go first.ā
CLICK.
BAM!
The three just looked at Shimura Danzo left in a daze; the atmosphere at the scene was silent.
It wasnāt until the sound of opening and closing the door sounded that the other two elders reacted.
Utatane Koharu: āHiruzen, Second-Kage gave you the position of Hokage to trust your ability. Over the years, I have also agreed with Second-Kage. I believe you have thought about the solution before doing this, and I wonāt intervene. The subordinates and villagers still need me to appease them, so I will go first.ā
The door opened and closed again.
CLICK.
BAM.
In the Conference Hall, only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura are left. Two people face each other.
Mitokado Homura smiled slightly, āHiruzen, I agree with Koharu. I trust your ability very much, and I still have things to do so that I will go first.ā
CLICK.
BAM.
Seeing his old friends who have been with him for many years, leaving one by one, Sarutobi Hiruzen was angry, clenched both fists.
BAM!
A loud noise.
The long table in the Conference Hall was smashed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes gradually becoming very ruthless.
āDamn it!ā
āDidnāt expect, at such a critical juncture, these old partners still refuse to work together!ā
āDamn it!ā
āHow did Konoha become like this?!ā
Sarutobi Hiruzen angrily breathed heavily.
After a while, he began to take a deep breath, try to resist his emotions, and began to analyze the current situation.
āThings have grown to such a field, and it is useless to complain.ā
āThe most important thing is to solve the problem!ā
ā¦ā¦.
After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to the Hokage room and summoned 2 Anbu ninjas.
Anbu ninja: āThird-Kage.ā
Sarutobi Hiruzen: āSuppress Sasukeās death. I donāt want to hear any rumors about Sasukeās death in the village!ā
Anbu ninja: āYes!ā
After Anbu ninja left, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look towards the scenery outside the window, and his eyes became very ruthless!
ā¦ā¦
Konoha Village, Hyuga Clan Residence.
After Naruto left the Hokage room, he did not go home immediately; instead, he came to the Hyuga Clan Residence to see Hinata.
Hyuga Hiashi has told the guards not to let Naruto bother the daughter. It was difficult for the girl to clear up the relationship with Naruto after the ādisasterā. So, Hyuga Hiashi did not want the girl to join in Narutoās troubles. Therefore, the guard in front of the door categorically rejected Naruto and wanted to drive away Naruto.
But Naruto refused to leave.
The news finally reached Hinataās ears, and Naruto got his wish. He finally met Hinata.
Hinata still has that indifferent expression. Seeing the expression of Hinata, Naruto didnāt know what to say, so he said, āSasuke is deadā¦ā
Hinata indifferently said: āUn.ā
Naruto said again in disbelief: āHinata, I meanā¦ Sasuke is dead.ā
Hinata nodded: āI know that ninja was injured or died in the mission. This is normal, and there is nothing strange.ā
After hearing the news that Sasuke is dead, Naruto didnāt expect that Hinataās attitude would still be so cold! He was stunned for a moment and then clasped Hinataās arms very excitedly: āWhatās wrong with you?! Sasuke is dead! This is Sasuke!! He is dead! How could you be like this?!? Hinata, what happened to you?! Do you have any troubles? You must be bitter, right?ā
The emotional Naruto didnāt even catch Hinata.
The two guards in front of the door ran immediately and pushed away Naruto: āWhat are you trying to do?!ā
Another escort thought about Hinata: āEldest Young Lady, are you okay?ā
Hinata endured the pain, shook her head.
Before approaching the two guards again, she said to Naruto: āNaruto, the village has so many ninjas that die during the mission every year. This is normal, and I hope you donāt get too attached. If nothing else, please go back.ā
Hinata turned and left.
Naruto looked at Hinataās back, and the whole person stood there stupidly, muttering to himself: āHow can this beā¦ how can everyone be like thisā¦ā
ā¦ā¦
Somewhere in the jungle.
Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame sat in front of a fire.
[*TL note: Kisame Hoshigaki (Hoshigaki Kisame), feared as the Monster of the Hidden Mist (Kirigakure no Kaijin), was a shinobi of Kirigakureās Hoshigaki Clan. After joining the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he became an S-rank missing-nin and was partnered with Itachi Uchiha when the latter joined Akatsuki.]
Two fish were grilled by the fire.
In the original work, after 2 people were supposed to die in Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Itachi would volunteer to take the command to capture Kyuubi, went to Konoha, and then encountered Jiraiyaās restraint on the way.
But this life has the appearance of the Li Yaoxiang butterfly effect, there are simply too many changes.
Not only did Sarutobi Hiruzen not die, even the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, Naruto, had disappeared many years ago.
Therefore, the movements of the two in this life are also very different.
Nagato did not issue an order to capture the Kyuubi during this period of time, and Uchiha Itachi did not need to go back to Konoha for the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen, trying to leave the remaining 3 old fellows in the earthquake, so that they would not act blindly without thinking against Sasuke.
But right now, the two people gazed at the 2 fish in front of the fire.
As always, they lived in the sleepy jungle.
But at this moment, wearing their finger, the exclusive ring belonging to Akatsuki had Chakra fluctuationsā¦
