"You went to see him?"
"Yeah!"
"..."
As the two of them finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room fell into calm again.
I don't know how much time passed.
Itachi Uchiha, who returned home, raised his head with a smile on his face, looked at the silver-haired young man leaning against the door, and said, "Don't worry, senior Kakashi, I know what I am doing! As for my eyes, I will keep an eye on him!"
The words fell.
"..."
Kakashi was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said, "A lot of things have happened in the village recently, and the opening of the village will be delayed again!"
"I know, that's such a pity!" Itachi Uchiha still nodded calmly and said, "Where is Lord Hokage?"
However.
"Lord Hokage..." Hearing Itachi Uchiha's inquiry, Kakashi raised his eyelids and showed a strange expression on his face, "Sarutobi Clan... was robbed again, Lord Hokage is in the hospital again!"
The words just fell.
"..."
Although it is only a short sentence, it reveals a lot of information.
Let Itachi Uchiha fall silent again.
Lord Hokage... Hospitalized again?
I don't know how long it took before I came back to my senses, shook my head with a wry smile, and said, "Lord Hokage... It's not easy either!"
"Then I won't disturb you!" Kakashi said nothing more.
This visit is just a routine matter, that's all. Anyway, he is quite annoyed by these things.
He turned around just as he was about to leave.
"Be careful."
After saying that... he jumped over the high wall and left.
Itachi Uchiha was left with a silent look on his face, shaking his head, and then sat calmly alone.
I don't know how much time passed.
At this time, a crow landed on his shoulder, and Itachi Uchiha touched the crow with a smile. But after a moment, he frowned and stared ahead.
This direction is exactly... the direction of Kusagakure!
He murmured to himself, "So, mom... what exactly do you have?"
other side.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who woke up from the hospital again, looked at his own VIP Hokage hospital bed and the familiar ceiling, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Then he took the pipe with his right hand trembling slightly.
Unknowingly, his eyes turned red.
What kind of hatred is this?
He Sarutobi Clan probably didn't do much either~
Why do you always catch him Sarutobi Clan stealing?
Uchiha Clan is gone, but isn't there Hyuga Clan next door?
That is the wealthy family of Konoha!
Wouldn't it be better to switch to something a bit more expensive?
Why are you staring at them?
The money they Sarutobi Clan had saved through frugality, ended up like this... it was all gone again!
"Grass Ninja Leader, I... fuck you!"
What a bully!
To actually come to steal and deceive a 69-year-old man, is this still tolerated?
The words fell.
With his trembling right hand, he was about to raise the pipe and take a deep puff when he was stopped by Danzo, who was leaning on a cane.
He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a serious look on his face, "The medical ninja said that you are in poor health and have suffered from shortness of breath many times. You must quit smoking!"
As he spoke, he sighed slightly and looked deeply at Hiruzen in front of him.
"Hiruzen~, Konoha can't live without us! We must not have any problems now~"
Today.
Internal and external troubles.
A lot of waste is waiting to be done.
From this time Chunin Exam can also see how strong Kusagakure has become now.
And Kusagakure the younger generation is also very tolerant.
If they left like this...
Konoha Is there still hope?
Konoha We absolutely cannot live without them now!
As Danzo's comforting words fell, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was stunned, and then he looked at Danzo deeply, "Danzo~"
"Hiruzen!"
"Danzo!"
"Hiruzen!"
Just like that... the two Konoha High Command, who represented Konoha's future hope, looked at each other in this small ward.
As he spoke... the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a confident smile on his face again, and his hands were held tightly together, as if he had regained his strength.
That's right.
It's just a big deal.
When the teacher suddenly had an accident, didn't they survive it?
Just when he was about to say something.
"Lord Hokage, come down here for you..."
The words are not finished yet.
The Konoha medical ninja in a white coat looked at the strange atmosphere in the ward, then blinked, looked inside twice more, and immediately closed the door, "Sorry to bother you! I'll come back later!"
Done in one go!
There is no stopping.
"..."x2
Making both of them silent.
They looked at the ward door that was closed again, then looked at each other, and then immediately let go of each other's hands.
Hiruzen Sarutobi pretended to cough twice, "Cough cough cough~"
Looking at Danzo in front of me...
His eyes were filled with emotion.
It seems that since the end of Third Shinobi World War, the originally tense relationship between him and Danzo has eased a lot!
It's as if we're back in those days when we trained together, performed tasks together, and were awesome together Shinobi World!
This was originally a happy thing, but for some reason... he wasn't happy at all now.
Then he said with a serious face, "It is imperative to open the village. Konoha is not Kirigakure. It is impossible to keep it blocked forever!"
Although I suffered hundreds of millions of accidents, it didn't matter, to a certain extent... except for Chunin Exam, the rest was just... Sarutobi Clan was stolen!
The damage to the village was not serious.
"Notify the village... We will still implement the original plan to open the village, but this time..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed and he paused slightly, "Don't notify Kusagakure!"
"I understand!"
"At the same time, the production base over there at Land of Waves must not expose your identity!" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo with a serious tone, "No matter what you do, you cannot implicate Konoha!"
"I know!" Danzo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said seriously, "Gato is a capable person. Don't worry, I will definitely let the production base assist Konoha in its recovery!"
"In addition..." After hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi also showed a satisfied smile, then took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Konoha must strengthen patrols to prevent Any thieves who sneak in secretly, especially those who are sneaky and secretive, will be treated as thieves! We must clean up Konoha first!" He raised his knife and said, "Kill the ones who have been killed and do extraordinary things!"
"Understood! Then I will go down and make arrangements now. You can rest early! Konoha... we can't live without us yet!"
Said.
Danzo stood up directly with a cane.
However.
Just as he was walking to the door.
"Wait a minute~"
The voice of Hiruzen came over again.
"???"
What else?
Before Danzo could ask.
I saw.
Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes slightly again, and said with a melancholy tone, "Remember... tell that medical ninja just now to stop talking nonsense! I have a bad heart and can no longer withstand being frightened!"
"..."
Danzo was silent for a while, then twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded, "I understand!"
Then.
He quickly closed the door and left the ward.
When looking at the spacious corridor outside the door, I couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest... At that time, the grass thief suddenly counterattacked, which almost frightened him into having a myocardial infarction, but under the gaze of so many Konoha Ninjas, in full public view, Grass Ninja Leader did not dare to act rashly.
Plus the past three years...
Because there was nothing good, he kept a regular schedule, continued to exercise, and ate a light diet. As a result, he recovered a lot.
he.
I can still hold on!
he.
He won't fall down so easily!
Danzo's eyes were focused, and he was leaning on a cane with both hands. Darkness of Ninjutsu's aura was clearly visible again, "Kusagakure... I'm coming!"
"Welcome!"
And at this time.
Within Konoha.
Ichiraku Ramen
Under the hospitality of Owner of Ichiraku, the two mysterious men walked in. After sitting down, they looked around with curious eyes.
The blond boy raised his head and looked at the black-haired young man beside him, "Teacher Sasuke, is this the former Konoha? Why does it look so depressed?"
"It's indeed Konoha!" The young man named Teacher Sasuke nodded, and then said with a faint smile, "This is the end of Chunin Exam, so it is expected that there will be some depression."
After all, Third Hokage had just died, and Konoha had also suffered heavy losses from Konoha Collapse. How could it not be depressed?
only.
I don't know why...
Always feel like something is weird?
Sasuke raised his head and looked at the banners hanging around...
