Darkened Sarutobi Hiruzen vs. the Third Sarutobi Hiruzen
Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled Danzo's tragic fate.
After he fled the battlefield years ago, he secretly sneaked back to Konoha.
Danzo's severed body was conspicuously displayed at the entrance to Konoha.
He still remembers Danzo's head, which died Danzo its eyes wide open, very clearly.
"Do you know what he said when I killed him?"
Seeing the fear on his face, Uchiha Kei felt more confident.
"What did you say?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly raised his head.
There were glistening tears in her eyes.
He said...
Uchiha Kei subtly nudged Uzumaki Naruto and gave him a wink.
Uzumaki Naruto was initially puzzled, but then he understood what Uchiha Kei meant.
Taking advantage of Sarutobi Hiruzen's wavering mind, he quietly slipped out.
Seeing that Uzumaki Naruto had disappeared, Uchiha Kei a slight sigh of relief.
What exactly did he say?
Sarutobi Hiruzen for an answer.
He said...
Uchiha Kei's mind raced, his eyes scanning left and right, searching for the best escape route.
Sarutobi Hiruzen waited anxiously, but soon discovered that Naruto had disappeared.
"You are not the future Uchiha Kei!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at him coldly.
As the former Third Hokage of Konoha, who was able to firmly control so much of Konoha's political power, could his wisdom be lacking?
The reason I was fooled by Uchiha Kei in the past was...
It was entirely because I heard the word "plow" coming from his mouth.
Then, his mind was distracted by Danzo's affair, which prevented him from noticing the numerous holes in Uchiha Kei's lies.
Realizing he had been discovered, Uchiha Kei immediately ran towards the depths of the dense forest.
"Run?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered.
Where do you think you can run to?
With a light touch of his toes and his hands behind his back, he quickly approached Uchiha Kei.
Uchiha Kei ran ahead, panting heavily.
His body is only seven years old, and he has no Chakra to support him.
He had only run a hundred meters or so when he was overtaken by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand seals flew everywhere as he unleashed "Water Style: Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
A water dragon spewed from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, striking Uchiha Kei's small body directly.
"Puff--"
Uchiha Kei a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
His body, like a tattered sack, was slammed hard onto the ground.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled coldly as he approached him step by step.
"If it weren't for you, I would still be the respected Third Hokage."
"If it weren't for you, Konoha would definitely be the strongest Shinobi World!"
"If it weren't for you..."
A deep hatred flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
Danzo won't die!
Uchiha Kei let out a difficult breath.
She turned around and looked at him mockingly.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, although I don't know exactly what my future self did to you, but..."
Uchiha Kei grinned, revealing his teeth stained with blood.
"Well done!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen flashed with killing intent, "Wind Release: Wind Style: Air Vortex!"
A highly compressed mass of air slammed into Uchiha Kei's chest.
"Drink!"
Uchiha Kei's eyes widened in shock, and he let out a painful howl.
"You believe... Konoha became powerful under your leadership?"
Despite the excruciating pain, Uchiha Kei spoke with great difficulty.
"Do you think that with you around, Konoha will become stronger than ever before?"
"Or perhaps you think Danzo's existence is beneficial to Konoha?"
Uchiha Kei gave a mocking smile.
"Isn't that right? It's precisely because of me..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his fists, his face turning bright red.
Stop lying to yourself.
Uchiha Kei interrupted him directly.
"If I had to name one achievement, it would be saying something truly brilliant."
Sarutobi Hiruzen aback.
"Where the Konoha dance, fire..."
"And it is ever-renewing!"
A look of guilt flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
He said this when he was at the height of his confidence and ambition.
Back then, he was also wholeheartedly devoted to Konoha and risked his life for it.
But later, without realizing it, his desire for power gradually led him astray.
"Earth Release - Earth Flow River!"
Just as he was lost in thought, an old voice came from behind him.
At the same time, a river made entirely of mud swept up Uchiha Kei.
"Scene!"
Uzumaki Naruto ran over worriedly and hugged Uchiha Kei, who was in the Earth Flow River.
Are you alright?
Uchiha Kei coughed twice, his face pale.
"If you had come any later, you would only be able to see my photos from now on."
Uzumaki Naruto felt very guilty when he saw the bloodstains on his chest.
"I went to find your clansmen, but they wouldn't let me in. I had no choice but to go to my Third Hokage- grandfather."
After thinking for a moment, Naruto added, "It really is the Third Hokage; he's smoking in his office!"
A complex Uchiha Kei's eyes.
Was the reinforcement Naruto called the Third Hokage?
Sarutobi Hiruzen?
Uchiha Kei gave a wry smile.
The one who tried to kill him just now was indeed Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The only difference is that one is in the present, and the other is in the future.
Who knows if Naruto brought reinforcements or a killer?
Sarutobi Hiruzen, dressed in Hokage attire, leaped down from the tree, his gaze coldly fixed on the strange man before him.
Who are you? Why did you infiltrate Konoha?
The strange clothes, along with bizarre patterns on his body and face, heightened Sarutobi Hiruzen's vigilance.
The future Sarutobi Hiruzen trembled upon hearing his voice.
"Who I am?"
The future Sarutobi Hiruzen a bitter laugh, staring intently at his past self.
"I am..."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen froze on the spot.
Ditch the weird clothes, ditch the bizarre patterns.
Whether it's facial features or body shape...
Just like my younger self...
Exactly the same!
But how could that be!
