"The monkey will regret this!"
"Call me Naruto!"
Bang!
Konoha Office Building.
Danzo suddenly pushed the door open and strode out.
He was holding a cane that seemed oddly out of place.
Bulky.
Really bulky.
Inside the building,
Kakashi hesitated and said softly: "Hiruzen, could you be mistaken? Maybe Danzo really didn't interfere with the Yunyin messenger?"
This statement was not very loud.
Clearly, even she was a little uncertain.
"Pack-a-pack."
"Pack-a-pack."
The Third Hokage didn't respond; he just puffed on the pipe in his hands.
If anger could take form, a three-foot-high flame would have erupted from the top of his head at this moment.
He was furious!
After filling the entire office with smoke, he stood up and walked to the window.
Looking at Danzo below,
his face grew darker, and he couldn't help but shout after him.
"Danzo!"
Downstairs,
Danzo turned his back to the window of the Third Hokage, stopping but not turning around.
The Third Hokage sighed and flew down.
Snap.
As he landed next to Danzo, he said softly:
"You should know—"
"I'm afraid this situation will rebound tomorrow."
"How can we have internal issues when the armistice between Yunyin and Konoha is imminent?"
There was a hint of despair in his words.
This made Danzo's heart stir slightly.
After considering Hiruzen's age, he sighed and stopped being stubborn.
Turning around, he asked, "What's the problem?"
"They can't even find the body. If they get lost, what do you care?"
"My mind is full of thunderbolts, so why should they stand and talk to us Konoha?"
His expression was very grim.
Even a little livid.
Regarding Yunyin, if his influence weren't so limited right now, he would definitely advocate for fighting back!
Yunyin actually wanted to take advantage of the situation!
Do they really think Konoha is powerless?
Unfortunately, his good friend Hiruzen was a pacifist.
He didn't want the village to fall into war again.
Looking at his friend's aging back, the folds on Hiruzen's formerly flat head had appeared in just two years.
"Alas... for a moment, I couldn't tell if I was distressed or impulsive." He took two steps forward. "Hiruzen, if you can't do it, just hand over the position of Hokage. You're too tired."
Sure enough!
The thief's heart never dies!
Hearing this, the rising emotion in Hiruzen's heart vanished.
He shook his sleeves and snorted coldly: "So you did destroy the body, didn't you?"
Danzo: ????
"Otherwise, how do you know the body wasn't found? Only I know about this!"
The Third Hokage's wrinkles deepened as he opened his eyelids and looked over.
In his murky eyes, there was a hint of scrutiny.
"You!"
Danzo's forehead throbbed with two green veins!
He wanted to point at Hiruzen's nose and yell: "You're a pig!"
But he couldn't reveal that he had sent Root to monitor Naruto.
If this matter came to light, it would spell disaster.
In the end, he could only endure this mute loss.
He bit his teeth and swallowed his anger.
Bang!
He turned around, tossed his crutch, and left.
If he stayed any longer, he feared he couldn't restrain himself from unleashing his anger on Hiruzen!
Behind him,
the Third Hokage shook his head, and ultimately, he could only focus on the Hyuuga family.
In his eyes, a choice flashed.
Danzo was still useful to him at this time.
He couldn't just hand it over.
Then—he could only shift the blame to the Hyuuga family.
"I hope the Yunyin people don't go too far."
Thus, before Yunyin determined the reason and the two sides had not yet negotiated,
the Third Hokage had already shifted the blame.
As for whether this would cause harm to Konoha?
The incident happened after visiting the Hyuuga clan, and the eldest lady was also lost!
This was something naturally borne by Hinata!
Did it have anything to do with his position as the Third Hokage?
. . . . .
Uchiha clan land.
Sasuke rubbed his sleepy eyes and pushed open the bedroom door.
When he saw the figure standing at the door, he subconsciously ran over.
He stretched out his arm and murmured: "Brother? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Mumbling and hugging.
But as soon as he got up, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
This height doesn't seem right.
And the reaction was not quite right.
Normally, Itachi would bend down and pick him up.
Sasuke rubbed his eyes and took a closer look.
"Yo, I'm so stupid!"
Opposite him, the man smiled and tapped Sasuke's forehead, slowly grinning.
A mouthful of white teeth glowed faintly in the moonlight.
"Uchiha Ember?!"
"It's you! Bah, bah, bah!"
After recognizing the person, Sasuke's mood exploded.
He jumped back in a flash.
Wiping his arms and wrists frantically, he slapped at his clothes.
His dislike was vividly apparent at this moment.
"In order to get my hug, you lied here!"
"Hum! Uchiha Ember, you are a bad person!"
Even overwhelmed by emotion, after a simple slap, he followed up with a punch.
Bang!
Hit!
Sasuke showed a hint of pride on his face.
The earlier action was merely a disguise.
His real intention was this revenge punch.
Bang!
But before the smile on his face could fully bloom, he suddenly halted.
Uchiha Ember in front of him, his dear second brother, actually "bang" and exploded!
"Fried? Fried? Fried?"
"I actually punched my second brother to death?!"
Sasuke was dumbfounded.
His pupils were wide, as if experiencing the greatest shock of his life.
There was even a hint of scarlet!
Open, open, open your eyes!
But just as he was about to open his eyes, the door to the adjacent bedroom was suddenly pushed open.
Wow.
"Sasuke, you are at—eh?"
Itachi, who heard the commotion, pushed the door open and walked out.
When he saw the strange expression in Sasuke's eyes, he instantly disappeared.
When he reappeared, his hands were already on Sasuke's forehead.
He shouted in a deep voice: "Sasuke, what's wrong with you?"
Inside, he was very confused.
What just happened? Was he about to open his eyes?
Had it been interrupted... or was it just not sad enough?
But what exactly triggered Sasuke in the middle of the night?
Could it be a nightmare?
But... when has the Uchiha clan had nightmares that would open their eyes?
If they could truly open their eyes, their father would have become a master of nightmares long ago...
Just as he was pondering, Sasuke suddenly woke up.
It was like meeting a savior as he cried out loudly:
"Wow... Oh, Nisan, I just... accidentally punched Ember to death!"
"Huh? Sasuke, you mean you punched Ember to death?"
Itachi was stunned for a moment.
The next second, he burst into laughter and said, "Sasuke, you think too highly of yourself... Did you read it wrong?"
Although he didn't know Jin's strength, it wasn't something Sasuke could damage.
At most, it was just a slap.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke realized the misunderstanding.
He repeated, a shy red hue appearing on his little face.
Hearing this, Itachi shook his head and smiled: "That was a clone, used to deceive Mom."
"A clone... the Shadow Clone Technique?!"
"When did that guy learn it?"
Sasuke was even more surprised upon hearing about the clone.
His little head was filled with confusion and doubts.
The practice of the Shadow Clone Technique is extremely tedious and long.
Especially for small children who are young.
It could take months of continuous practice.
"That guy lives in the clan every day, either basking in the sun or chatting. When would he practice the Shadow Clone Technique?"
"Is it possible he learned it instantly?"
