After all, aside from Danzo, Gua really couldn't think of anyone in Konoha who would do something like this.
If you're going to assassinate someone from Iwagakure, just do it. What the hell are you shouting for?
Now that you've shouted it out, doesn't everyone know we in Konoha fight dirty?
Granted, we in Konoha really do...
But you can't put that out in the open, right?
Gua couldn't understand it.
"Gua, do you think what he said is true?"
Itachi asked from beside him.
Gua shook his head. "I don't know. Probably not."
After all, if it were true, the commander in the southwestern part of the Land of Fire should have been removed from his post.
How could anyone do something that fucking stupid?
Itachi nodded.
"I think so too. I heard the commander on the Land of Fire's northwestern border is Asuma, the Third Generation's son. The Aburame Clan and the Yamanaka Clan are assisting him too. They're all important people. They wouldn't do something that stupid."
Gua glanced at Itachi.
As expected of the clan leader's son!
You even know intelligence like that.
But how did Asuma end up leading an army of shinobi?
Gua found that a little dubious. After all, in the original story, aside from being the Third Generation's son, Asuma had always seemed like something of a small fry.
Besides, Asuma shouldn't have been very old yet, about the same age as Kakashi.
In other words, fourteen.
A fourteen-year-old serving as the commander of an entire military region...
All he could say was that darkness had fallen over Konoha.
They had even assigned the Aburame Clan and the Yamanaka Clan to Asuma.
That made the darkness downright boundless.
The Third Generation could be deeply selfish at times. Gua could see that much.
