At 11 o'clock in the evening on July 10th, inside Hokage Building, Minato had a look of exhaustion on his face. He looked at the two consultants and whispered, "Sorry, the enemy should have left the range of the perception barrier very early. The other party seems to know our deployment very well."
"Master Danzo is missing. Anbu has expanded the search area, but at this time, it is difficult to find traces of the target."
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, who were sitting on the sofa, looked at each other and fell silent. After a while, Utatane Koharu sighed and responded, "Thank you for your hard work, Minato."
"We should have expected that the enemy would take advantage of the emptiness of the village to take action. After all, the comfortable life of the past few years has corroded us."
"Danzo has fallen into the hands of the enemy. Let's discuss the next step after Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade come back."
There was a trace of hesitation on Minato's face. When he saw Mitokado Homura also whispered in agreement, he closed his eyes in pain. When he opened them again, his expression became firm. "Two consultants, there is something I have to tell you in advance."
"Minato, it's already very late. Don't blame yourself. Even if Danzo died as a result, we won't mind. After all, this is the fate of ninjas."
Mitokado Homura smiled and comforted, but Minato shook his head, looked at the two of them seriously and whispered, "Master Third Hokage has sacrificed his life."
"What?!"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi him?! How could it be? Is it Shu Furukawa?"
The two people exclaimed and looked in disbelief. Utatane Koharu opened his eyes wide and asked loudly.
Perhaps the news was too sudden. Mitokado Homura stood up in excitement and suddenly fell down. After getting up, he looked at Minato with a hopeful look on his face. He hoped that he had heard wrong.
Minato really didn't want to hurt the two of them, but something happened to Danzo, and he had to tell the truth. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't come back. "It wasn't Xiu, Mr. Third Hokage was outside the building at the time, and he protected many ninjas when an accident occurred."
"Nearly an hour after the turmoil ended, the Land of Iron capital gradually settled down. It was also at that time that Lord Third Hokage made a choice."
"He chose to sacrifice his life to save Teacher Jiraiya."
"One's Own Life Reincarnation was activated successfully, Jiraiya teacher was resurrected."
"Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
"You actually chose to sacrifice yourself, Hiruzen Sarutobi..."
The two consultants whispered again, with tears in their eyes. Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were really sad at this time. In their hearts, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not only a friend, but also a family member.
The interrupted Minato really didn't want to tell the truth, but he felt that the long-term pain was worse than the short-term pain, so he simply lowered his head and added again, "Teacher Jiraiya is resurrected, but...
"It's just that he can no longer extract Chakra, and he can only live as an ordinary person in the future."
"Hiruzen Sarutobi's sacrifice was exchanged for..."
Utatane Koharu stared wide-eyed and said nothing, while Mitokado Homura murmured to himself. The two of them took deep breaths, then their faces turned red, as if they wanted to say something more, and then they both fainted.
Minato did not expect such a situation to occur. He hurriedly stepped forward to support the two people, and then immediately activated Flying Thunder God and instantly transferred to Konoha Hospital.
"Two consultants suddenly fainted due to emotion!"
"Sorry to everyone...
The medical ninja on duty was startled when he saw the sudden appearance of Minato. When he saw the two consultants, he immediately stepped forward and greeted loudly, "Hurry and ask for Mr. Shizune! The two consultants have health problems!"
Looking at the busy medical staff, Minato took a deep breath, and then thought of the scene when Teacher Jiraiya returned to the village, and his thoughts became confused again.
After all, ninjas have to rely on their strength to speak for themselves. Strong power is the foundation of everything. Jiraiya, which cannot use Chakra, is now relied on by no one to blame it for its merits, but as time goes by, problems will definitely arise.
Will a ninja who has mastered power respect an ordinary person who has lost his power? Minato thinks the answer is no. Thinking of the teacher's situation, he sat on a chair outside the emergency room and covered his face with his hands. "Do you really want to become a full-time writer?"
Thinking of Great Toad Sage's prophecy again, Minato was speechless. He felt that the immortal had not "seen" such a result.
On July 11, when it was just dawn, Sasuke Uchiha groaned in pain in the ward, as if he had a nightmare. He murmured a few words unconsciously and then suddenly opened his eyes, "Brother!"
Sasuke's memory at this time still remains on the night of the 9th. At that time, he practiced ninjutsu very late. Because his body was too exhausted, it was already dark when he returned home.
But when he thought of his brother's praise, Sasuke finally ran home panting. After hearing the heart-piercing shouts, he saw his brother who was different from usual.
Itachi Uchiha's scarlet eyes were connected to Tomoe. The black marks on his face were fading away. The cold temperament made Sasuke freeze in place.
Sasuke saw his father lying on the ground and his body twitching, and then found his mother also making no sound on the sofa. For a moment, he could only retreat in fear.
"This family and this village cannot hold my weight!"
"Sasuke, take good care of your father and mother, and live happily here."
After hearing these words, Sasuke saw his brother slightly leaning over and poking his forehead, and was stunned for a moment. Then he saw the different pair of Sharingan, and then fell into a dream.
In the dream, Sasuke saw Itachi quarreling with his father, saw Itachi arguing with Shisui, and also saw Itachi and Izumi hugging each other.
Sasuke also saw a brutal battle between ninjas, which was completely different from the ninja life he imagined. He could feel the short sword slicing across his body and feel the burning sensation after being hit by ninjutsu.
Constantly being attacked and constantly experiencing killings, Sasuke only felt a splitting headache. It was not until the nightmare ended that he gradually came back to his senses.
Come.
Sasuke stared at the white ceiling on the hospital bed, tears gradually appearing in his eyes. He knew that his brother was gone and abandoned him, his father and mother. "Why? Why did you leave?"
"Why do you want to hurt your father?"
Sasuke, who was muttering to himself, had more and more tears in his eyes. He hoped that this was a dream, but he knew that everything was real.
When the medical staff went to work, the door to the room was quickly pushed open, and Inabi Uchiha appeared in the room with long black hair and a fruit basket in his hand. Seeing that Sasuke was awake, he immediately sat down by the bed and said, "It seems that Itachi still loves your brother very much."
"Otherwise, with the powerful pupil power of Mangekyō Sharingan, you should be able to sleep for a few more days."
Inabi Uchiha sighed with a smile, and then showed a look of loneliness on his face. Shisui and Itachi turned on Mangekyō Sharingan one after another. They who insisted on optimizing their bloodlines became a joke.
What makes Inabi even more embarrassed is that many "Madara Uchiha believers" chose to leave with Itachi.
At that time, he also laughed at these guys who were not determined. As a result, after the situation of Land of Iron was reported back to the village, everyone including Yashiro Uchiha regretted it and wanted to follow Master Xiu immediately...
It's just that it's too late at this time. The village is closely guarding Uchiha. With "Yellow Flash" here, they can't leave. After all, everyone doesn't have the magical Six Paths Tools in their hands.
Although Shisui will return to the village, Inabi cannot cheer up. Shisui, the guy who values mutual understanding and takes care of the younger generations, simply cannot understand the mood of these people.
"Why did my brother leave?"
"Obviously we live a good life, and we are obviously very happy when we are together. Has Sister Quan left too?"
Sasuke suddenly thought of the scene in his dream and hurriedly asked. Inabi nodded and simply responded, "Izumi seems to have turned on Three-Tomoe Sharingan. The last time I saw her, she chose to go with Itachi."
"The patriarch's life is not in danger, but Genjutsu of Mangekyō Sharingan is difficult to crack. We can only treat it after Master Fourth Hokage comes back."
"Sasuke, rest peacefully. Since Master Xiu has left, we people don't have to argue anymore."
Inabi rubbed Sasuke's little head. No matter what, now Uchiha Clan has the legendary power. They have fulfilled the long-cherished wish of their predecessors, and the old guys don't have to worry about it anymore.
Sasuke had a lot of questions, but he didn't know where to start. He had never participated in a clan meeting and had no idea what was going on in the clan.
"Is it because of my beautiful big brother that everyone left?"
"Of course it's because Lord Xiu, that's the man who has mastered the ultimate power of Uchiha!"
"It's a pity that some people in the village are afraid of this power, otherwise Uchiha will definitely become more powerful!"
There was a look of yearning on Inabi's face. Just hearing the news sent back made him yearn for Perfect Susanoo, which is close to 150 meters high. It is a legendary power recorded in the classics.
Sasuke's eyes dimmed, feeling unspeakable grievance in his heart. Inabi didn't care about the child's mood and reassured him again. "Don't worry, nothing will happen to your brother. It's just a dispute over ideas."
"It doesn't matter if we separate. After all, we are both of Uchiha's blood. With Master Xiu taking care of us, we will have an extra escape route in the future."
"As long as you know this matter well, don't tell anyone about it. Mangekyō Sharingan is too powerful. Once it arouses the fear of high-level officials, Land of Water will be our second home."
Sasuke nodded ignorantly, still not quite understanding what he said. He just wanted to live with his brother.
Around 10 o'clock in the morning, Asuma and Ino-Shika-Cho returned quietly with the bodies of Jiraiya and Third Hokage. Tsunade and the rest of the staff continued to take charge of Land of Iron until the chaos was completely calmed down.
The members of the Sarutobi Clan, who had received the news in advance, looked sad when they saw the smiling body of Third Hokage.
Asuma burst into tears again, choking and whispering, "It's all my fault. If I could stop it in time, my father wouldn't..."
"Shut up, Asuma! My father died for the future of the village!"
"Brother! Is this kind of sacrifice really meaningful?!"
Asuma roared in pain, but was soon slapped by his brother who had a somewhat similar face. Noticing the resentment on the faces of many tribesmen, this elite ninja who had worked for Anbu for many years said loudly, "Brother Jiraiya is just temporarily unable to refine Chakra. My father made this choice for the future of the village."
"I don't want to hear anyone questioning this anymore. All we have to do is inherit our father's will!"
Asuma cried silently, he could not forgive himself. After Jiraiya lost the ability to refine Chakra, in this "fist" ninja world, what could he do for the village.
I clearly know that "consequentialism" is wrong, but Asuma just can't control myself.
Many Sarutobi Clan ninjas lowered their heads. No one could refute, but they still felt aggrieved.
Shikaku Nara introduced Jiraiya's plan in detail. Some people agreed, but more people thought Jiraiya was fine.
Looking for trouble, Tailed Beast is the same in whose hands it is, what does Shinobi World peace have to do with them.
The friendship between Ino-Shika-Cho and Sarutobi Clan can be traced back to the Warring States Period. When they saw this scene, the three of them felt a little uncomfortable.
Yamanaka Inoichi found that Shikaku had been silent. When leaving Sarutobi Clan, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Shikaku, you have been silent since the death of Lord Third Hokage."
"Yes, Shikaku, we are all sad, but this is the choice of Mr. Third Hokage."
Akimichi Choza sighed and patted his friend's shoulder to comfort him. Shikaku smiled bitterly and then said something even worse, "Sarutobi Clan reacted like this. I wonder what will happen to the members of Jonin Division after they learn the news."
"Minato should feel helpless at this time. After all, Master Third Hokage's sacrifice cannot be concealed."
"It might be the worst thing to tell Lord Jiraiya's plan."
"After all, Shinobi World peace is too far away from our lives. On the contrary, problems may arise in the herbal medicine trade in the future."
"Although Lady Tsunade is powerful, the mother strain is the most important. Maybe drug development will slow down."
"When the time comes, I think you should be able to think about what kind of accusation Lord Jiraiya will suffer if he loses his power.
Like to get it!"
Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza looked at each other, and I'm afraid there won't be a lot of anger...
Shikaku continued to sigh when he saw the expressions on the two people's faces, and then reminded in a low voice, "Don't forget that now Sunagakure, Iwagakure and Kumogakure all insist that Lord Jiraiya and Land of Iron are plotting to murder the three shadows."
"Xiu is a hero!"
"As long as the major ninja villages do not issue arrest warrants, Lord Jiraiya will not be able to change his reputation. If he rescues such a person, even Third Hokage-sama may be questioned."
"Oh my God!"
"This is too bad..."
Hearing the sighs of his two friends, Shikaku couldn't help but raise his forehead again. He had nothing to say, so he could only mutter in his heart, "Ninjas only worship the strong. It will be difficult for Jiraiya to become an ordinary person and gain a foothold in the village."
Hokage Building, Minato looked at Jiraiya who looked sloppy and listless, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort him.
Just thinking about how to announce this news to Jonin Division made Minato feel dizzy. He stayed up all night and the two consultants were still here.
When Third Hokage was hospitalized, he could only think of a way to organize Third Hokage's funeral.
"Teacher, let me take you back to rest! Lord Third Hokage's funeral is tentatively scheduled for three days, and Lady Tsunade should be back by then."
"Check your body again. Teacher, don't give up hope. Even if you still can't solve the problem in the end, as an ordinary person, you can still help the village."
Jiraiya, who was sitting on the sofa, covered his face with his hands. In the past few days, he only felt endless despair. Sannin became an ordinary person. He lost everything. "That monster! They are all that monster!"
"... It was me who harmed Teacher Sarutobi! It was me who harmed him!.
Jiraiya could no longer control his emotions and cried bitterly in front of his disciples. Minato pursed his lips and said nothing, but sighed in his heart again, "It seems that the teacher's obsession has become more serious..."
