The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

conference room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the main seat.

Look around at the core personnel in front of you.

There are the heads of the major wealthy families in Konoha, a group of jounin, three old friends, Jiraiya, and important officials from various powerful departments, etc.His eyes slowly swept over everyone.

The group of guys with evil intentions in front of them all felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

They were embarrassed to look at him, and some even deliberately avoided his eyes.

The three old friends, who were thick-skinned, still looked at him confidently.

He didn't care at all about his gaze.

Koharu and Mito Kabuto even showed kind smiles when they moved to bed.

The corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

These are the guys

Everyone present never thought of saving him.

not a single one

Recalling all the past events, each one calling him Hokage before or after Hokage, made him feel even more chilled.

I have devoted myself to Konoha for decades, but what I got in exchange was this result.

Originally he wanted to settle accounts with Qiu Hou, but with his skills and the loyal forces under his command, he could still barely control the situation.But on second thought I decided to forget it.

If you find a reason to punish these guys, the best you can do is to vent your anger.

It doesn't help the whole situation at all.

I am already dozens or hundreds of years old, and I don’t know how much time I have left.

What worries him most now is the hidden dangers mentioned by his apprentice Orochimaru. He is very familiar with his apprentice's character. He can feel that this apprentice really wanted to kill him at that time.

There is also the ability to do this.

But now that I have given up.

Then you will definitely not deceive yourself about this kind of thing.

His only hope now is to find all the hidden dangers of Konoha during his lifetime and then solve them one by one, so that after his death, he can have an explanation for Konoha, his old friends, and himself.

If he dies in this way, he will die in peace.

As for saying

Now, it doesn't matter whether he wants to stand by the three old gay friends and become more ruthless or help the younger generation to clear the obstacles of the three old gay friends.

As things have developed now, the conflicts between the two sides have become increasingly serious.

The younger generation does not agree with the older generation's approach, and one by one wants to leave Konoha.

The older generation, on the other hand, insists on their own approach.

No matter who takes sides, Konoha will have to pay a serious price.

This was not the result he wanted to see.

Maybe this is one of the hidden dangers Orochimaru mentioned.

But on this issue, he can only try to ease the relationship between the two parties.

that's it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's sharp gaze glanced at everyone present and then relaxed.Some things need to be done as soon as possible, and a little show of authority is enough. Don't go too far.

The atmosphere at the scene became less solemn as a result.

Seeing that the elderly Third Hokage had no intention of settling scores.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Followed by.

Just start the meeting seriously.

They were too busy before, having to appease the villagers, appease the daimyo, etc., so the post-war data they reported were not so careful.

But this time it was much more careful.

Each family representative reported the losses of his family.

Then there are the cumbersome things such as how many casualties the villagers suffered, how much financial losses they suffered, how much compensation they need, and so on.

The next step is to assign tasks to everyone in the leadership class present.

Finally, he asked the people present for their opinions on how to deal with Sunagakure Village and other shinobi villages in the future.

After everything was discussed, the group left one by one.Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadoen, and Koharu Koharu were the last ones to stand up.

Several of them came to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Have a casual chat.

Mito Kaden: "Hiruzen, it turns out that the sword is still young. If you hadn't been able to resist the opponent's strongest force, the village might have suffered heavy losses this time."

Turning to bed Xiaochun: "That's right. You have indeed lived up to our trust in you."

This time.

Not only Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also Shimura Danzo despised these two guys.

After the two old guys who insisted on erecting an archway left.

Danzo Shimura just looked at each other and said nothing to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He could even assassinate the Hokage, so there was nothing left to hide.

He narrowed his remaining left eye slightly and left the conference room.

And in the huge conference room.

There were only two people left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen then turned his attention to Jiraiya, who had a complicated expression.

Throughout the entire meeting, Jiraiya was absent-minded.

After the meeting was over, it was even more difficult to leave.

These are all he sees.

I also understand what this apprentice is thinking.

No matter how disappointed he was with this apprentice, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not show it and still looked kind.It was also because of this expression that Jiraiya felt uncomfortable all over.

Finally gritted his teeth.

stood up.

Muster up the courage to say something.

But he was interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Jiraiya, don't mention the past things anymore. Old man, I don't blame you."

Jiraiya was speechless for a while.

I felt even more guilty inside.

"Hey~, Jiraiya, sit down." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"This" Jiraiya hesitated.

"Just sit down if I tell you to," Sarutobi Hiruzen said pretending to be dissatisfied.

Jiraiya then slowly sat down, his expression as if he were sitting on a pin board.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the scenery outside the window in the distance, as if he was recalling the past: "Hey~ Master and disciple, we don't know how long it has been since we sat down and had a good chat."

"Old man," Jiraiya said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand: "No need to say more, I know everything. It seems that I am really old, old man, and I am no longer useful. Cough, cough, cough, cough."

talking.

Not forgetting to look old and frail.

Jiraiya quickly supported him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed Jiraiya's hand away, indicating that I was fine, and then said solemnly: "Jiraiya, do you want to be Hokage?"

"This" Jiraiya looked surprised, "Old man, why are you asking this? Aren't you being polite?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was dissatisfied again: "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me directly whether you are willing or not."

Jiraiya: "Hey~ old man, it's not like you don't know my character. I really can't be the Hokage."

Next.

A scene of loving teachers and filial piety was staged in the conference room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen tried his best to persuade Jiraiya to become Hokage.

Jiraiya praised Sarutobi Hiruzen for his strong body and kept pushing back.

At the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to wave his hand: "Well, since you are unwilling to take over the position of Hokage, then you can find a way to find Tsunade and come back.

Just tell me, old man, that I was seriously injured by Orochimaru and am no longer alive.Let her come back and take over as Hokage. "

I can't see it off.

In desperation, Jiraiya had no choice but to accept the commission.

Set off to find Tsunade to come back and take over the position of Hokage.

As for Naruto, the son of prophecy

I can only wait until I come back to find a solution.

After Jiraiya left and Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in the huge conference room, his sickly and disillusioned appearance completely disappeared.

No one knew what he was thinking.

at the same time.

During this week after the war.

Naruto finally no longer had to look at people with masks.

After bidding farewell to Gaara and others, the first thing he did was to find Hinata and ask for information.

The situation at that time was as follows:

Naruto waited for a long time at the Hyuga clan's station, and finally waited until Hinata came out of the house.But as soon as he stepped forward, he was stopped by Hinata's guards.

Hinata stopped the guard and told the guard to move back.

He came up with a lukewarm expression.

Hinata: "Naruto, what's wrong? You have something to do with me?"

What he originally wanted to say, when Naruto saw this expression, he was speechless.He said in a strange way: "It's nothing. I just wanted to come and see you."

We haven’t seen each other for so many years. Let’s see when you are free. How about we go out for a meal together?”

Hinata: "Okay, then let's ask Sasuke out together. Just make an appointment with Sasuke and ask him to tell me."

Naruto looked at Hinata, silent.

Hinata: "What's wrong Naruto? You still have something to do?"

Naruto came to his senses: "Oh, no, no, no. I won't disturb you anymore. You go and do your business."

Hinata nodded, turned and left.

Naruto looked at his leaving back and felt very uncomfortable.

When I was young, I was not sensible.

I don’t understand what it means to be tired of being with Hinata and holding Hinata’s little hand all day long.But now that he has grown up, of course Naruto understands Hinata's thoughts at that time.

I thought that as long as they saw me, their relationship would be as close as before.

But I didn't expect it would be like this.

Hinata

Is it really impossible to go back to the past?

Hinata really forgot about herself

Not

Will not

There must be some reason why Hinata is like this

After being trained by Li Yaoxiang over the years, Naruto is no longer a fool. He will not be easily fooled by what he sees on the surface.

So ever.

Unwilling to give up, he spent the next few days.

Still appearing in front of Hinata intentionally or unintentionally.

But even so, he still couldn't find anything wrong.Just when he was about to give up, about to accept the cruel fact that Hinata had forgotten about him, something unexpected happened.

Wanting to miss the taste of the past, I bought a three-color meatball for Hinata to eat.

It was a formal farewell to the past friendship.

But unexpectedly, when Hinata saw the three-color balls, she finally felt something strange.

Although this strangeness was only fleeting, Naruto still caught it

Naruto suddenly grabbed Hinata's shoulders and shook him: "Hinata, are you hiding something from me? You are deliberately neglecting me, right?

Hinata, you don't have to be like this.

If there is a problem, can't we solve it together?

Now that my strength has become stronger, your problems will definitely not trouble me."

Seeing that this gangster dared to attack his eldest lady so brazenly, the guard waiting in the distance couldn't bear it. He suddenly appeared next to Hinata and was about to slap Naruto on the shoulder.

However, this palm has not fallen yet.

Hinata immediately hugged Naruto and blocked the palm.

Hinata coughed slightly, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Naruto: "Hinata"

Guard: "Miss"

"You are looking for death." Looking at Hinata, Naruto turned his head and glared at the guard fiercely. Orange and transparent chakra quickly emerged from Naruto's body.

Even his appearance is gradually turning into a beast shape.

At this time, Hinata pushed Naruto away: "Okay, Naruto. This is none of his business."

Taking back his chakra coat, Naruto said: "Hinata, you"

Hinata shook her head and interrupted: "Don't misunderstand me, I have nothing to hide from you."

Naruto: "What about you?"

Hinata: "I just don't want to see anyone innocently hurt by my guards. If it were someone else, I would definitely stop them."

Naruto:""

Hinata wiped the corner of her mouth: "Naruto, I appreciate your kindness. As for the three-color meatballs, I rarely eat them when I grow up. I'm sorry."

Done.

Hinata stopped talking to Naruto.

Let the guards help her back for treatment.

Naruto's mood became complicated again.

Could it be that I really saw it wrong?

at the same time.

A waterfall near Konoha Village.

The sound of the waterfall gurgling.But even so, it still couldn't cover up the rumbling sound of Sasuke standing on the water, facing the cliff inside the waterfall.

A week ago

After waiting for a week, Naruto's damn brother still didn't respond to him

Now he gets upset when he sees Naruto

Even when Naruto came to invite him and Hinata to a party, he was ruthlessly rejected.This also resulted in the party ending before it even started.

And now Sasuke is venting like crazy here

Trying to vent all the anger in my heart on this cliff

waited so long.

He hadn't even waited for the news of Li Yaoxiang's revenge, which had already driven him to the edge of madness.

Hit hit.

Suddenly, Sasuke stopped and looked overjoyed

The voice in my head finally appeared

However, he was full of anger in his heart, and soon showed a ferocious expression, and shouted directly from inside the waterfall: "You are finally willing to show up."

Didn't you say that as long as I do things for you, you will avenge me?

How long has this been?

six years

It's been six years

If I hadn't done anything to Naruto that day, you wouldn't even have shown up.

Or have you been cheating on me all along?”

After scolding.

Sasuke's expression changed from ferocious to surprise, then from surprise to astonishment, and finally his face became solemn and complicated.

Sasuke: "Why are you doing this? What is your purpose? What does this have to do with my revenge?"

I just asked this not long ago.

Sasuke slapped the water with another angry palm.

damn

Can't get an answer

Immediately, Sasuke showed an expression of hesitation.
