"Sarutobi..." Danzo's face became more gloomy when he saw the person coming.

Could it be that he was the one who showed murderous intent towards me just now?

After using gestures behind him again to signal his subordinates not to act rashly, Danzo turned sideways, letting Hyuga Hiashi and later Third Hokage face each other.

Although Danzo did not speak, this behavior was obviously a question to Sarutobi--

What's going on with this Hyuga Hiashi?

"Lord Hokage..." Hyuga Hiashi looked at the arriving Third Hokage, and the expression that had been on his face from just now changed slightly. Although he covered it up later, he did not hide it from Danzo who had been observing him.

"What's going on?" Sarutobi looked at Hiashi and frowned.

It was his words, coupled with Hyuga Hiashi's "accidental" expression just now, that made Danzo on the side extremely convinced that his guess was correct.

Hyuga Hiashi was not sent by Sarutobi at all, he had ulterior motives!

Danzo, who thought he had fully understood the matter "Truth", decided to take a preemptive strike. He who had just deliberately avoided it took a step forward and said to Third Hokage, "Hyuga Hiashi just forcibly blocked Root's action, and then claimed that it was you, Third Hokage, who wanted to see me for something important, and asked me to go back to Hokage Office to find you."

While Danzo was talking, he secretly glanced at Hyuga Hiashi again, and saw that the latter's expression could no longer hide the tension, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

Want to scare me? You don't need me to add any extraneous details. As long as you confront Sarutobi, you, Hyuga Hiashi, who dare to use Hokage commands to influence Root, will definitely not be able to escape the guilt.

After solving Uchiha tonight, it seems that Hyuga Clan also has to consider the issue of loyalty to Konoha.

At least, the owner of this Hyuga Main Family family...

After hearing what Danzo said, Third Hokage's eyes moved to Hyuga Hiashi again. He was puzzled and expected the other party to give him an answer.

Because he knows Hyuga Hiashi's character, he is as cautious as him, and he is also a Clan Head who values Family. How could he do such an unintentional provocation to Konoha High Command at such a sensitive moment?

What will happen tonight has been determined, and Third Hokage, who is powerless to change anything, has been observing the movements here with Crystal Ball in Office.

Later, when he saw Hyuga Hiashi leading people to stop Danzo, as someone who had been in charge of Hokage Position for many years, he was keenly aware that something was wrong, so he rushed over directly.

"I am indeed ordered by Hokage to ask Lord Danzo to come to Hokage Office." However, what Danzo didn't expect was that Hyuga Hiashi actually came to Third Hokage again reiterated it in front of him. There was still a nervousness that could not be concealed in his Byakugan, but he looked straight at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said emphatically again, "By order of Hokage."

"Why are you so crazy? Isn't Hokage right in front of you? Even if something really happens, do you have to go to Office to tell it? Hokage, I and you are all here, so just say it in person." Danzo Looking at Hyuga Hiashi like a fool, even some of the Hyuga next to Hiashi cast doubtful glances at Clan Head, "I want to see, what are you going to do?"

And Third Hokage just looked at Hyuga Hiashi quietly, looked at his eyes, looked at his expression, Sarutobi's eyes that were already filled with vicissitudes of life and weakness suddenly burst into light, as if he suddenly understood something, and even got so excited that the body wearing armor under Hokage's robe could tremble uncontrollably.

Looking at Hyuga Hiashi who was still "obsessed", Danzo snorted coldly.

"What a farce, give it to me..."

When Danzo was about to give his subordinates the order to capture Hyuga Hiashi, Sarutobi told him the answer that he could never have dreamed of -

"It is indeed my order from Hokage."

Third Hokage said one word at a time, and he ignored Danzo's disbelieving look, walked forward, stretched out his hand and patted Hyuga Hiashi on the shoulder, and said confidently, "But since Danzo doesn't want to go to Office to talk, it doesn't matter. Let the subordinates do their work first, and we will talk here."

"How is it possible? Today is..." Danzo was really angry. Sarutobi, an old man, actually spoke nonsense. This was not his order. He was clearly cooperating with Hyuga Hiashi.

What are these two guys doing?

But before he could finish speaking, Third had turned back to look at him expressionlessly, and then whispered, "Let the subordinates leave, Danzo."

"But..."

"Danzo, I am Hokage!"

After hearing this, Danzo's face twisted in anger, and his fists were so tight that he almost crushed the crutch in his hand.

At this time, after unfolding Mangekyō Sharingan and Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Itachi with Crow resting on the palm of his hand was stunned.

In front of him was not the Naruto Uzumaki that should have been hit by his Tsukuyomi and fell into the Genjutsu space, but a figure that he knew but was already unfamiliar with.

The world of Tsukuyomi is controlled by him. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to use Ninjutsu like Transformation Technique in this field, let alone use Genjutsu on himself.

"First meeting... well, I met you when you were a child, so it's not the first time? But I guess you're not unfamiliar with me." The blond man wearing a white cape with flame patterns showed a gentle smile to him, "My name is Minato Namikaze."

Minato Namikaze!?

Konoha Fourth Hokage has died in battle!?

Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted violently, and his head moved rapidly.

In an instant, Uchiha Itachi's thoughts suddenly exploded. As Anbu, he still could not find out who was teaching Naruto Uzumaki, the skilled Shurikenjutsu, the superb Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, and the reason why they appeared in front of him just now.

The moment he saw Minato Namikaze in Tsukuyomi World, he finally understood the only possibility -

"Have you always been possessed by Naruto Uzumaki?"

"Possessed... Well, it's a little different, but it can be understood this way." Minato was about to explain to Itachi, but he scratched his head and said, "You are Uchiha Itachi."

However, Minato's non-hostile appearance did not make Itachi put down his guard. He didn't understand the purpose of Fourth Hokage's sudden appearance.

"Hmm... this Genjutsu space is so weird, it seems to have an impact on Space-Time, right?"

Minato wiped his nose, and then relied on his keen perception to find a topic.

"Yes."

"What's the time difference with the outside world?" Minato looked familiar.

Itachi blinked his Mangekyō Sharingan, as if he didn't want to reveal his ability to Minato, because he was still not sure what Minato was going to do, or even--

He was not sure whether Fourth Hokage, who was confirmed to have died in battle in the village, was still on the side of Konoha when he appeared in front of him!

"... It seems that even though time is very tight, I have to explain it to you first?"

Minato had to admire Itachi's extremely high quality as a Ninja. Even though he believed in Minato Namikaze's identity, he didn't relax at all.

However, he did not show any hostility towards himself as Hokage. This was the same as what Nine-Tails told him before. His position was indeed on the side of Konoha in his heart.

But I am also very helpless. After all, I must first convince Uchiha Itachi in front of me, otherwise it will be nonsense to change everything.

"Where is the best place to start? Let's start when I wake up again in Naruto's body."
