The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

The next morning.

On the streets of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not stay in the Hokage's room to deal with documents. Instead, he was wandering on the streets.The villagers still treated him with great respect as the Hokage.

One by one, Hokage-sama comes first and Hokage-sama comes last.

Compared to his partners and his subordinates, the villagers who came into view had much simpler thoughts.They didn't know what was happening in the upper echelons of Konoha, and their attitude toward him, the Third Hokage, was the most sincere.

Seeing the villagers' reactions one by one, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a lot relieved.

At least the villagers of Konoha haven't abandoned him yet

while walking.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to Naruto's house.

As soon as they met, Naruto looked a little surprised: "Old man, why are you here?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled: "What's wrong, old man? I can't come to see you. Why are you standing here? I don't plan to invite the old man in to sit down."

Naruto came to his senses: "Uh, no, no, please come in, please come in."

Naruto's thoughts were simple.

Very candid.

Although he really disliked the way Sarutobi Hiruzen handled things, he didn't go to the extent of hating Sarutobi Hiruzen. At most, he was disillusioned with the upper echelons of Konoha.

If the same thing happened again, Naruto would probably never make the same choice again.

He ignored his own life and came back to report the news.

As long as you make sure that the people you care about are fine and do what you can, you will be doing your best.

Enter Naruto's family.

One large and one small were sitting on their knees in front of a low table.

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Naruto didn't know what to say.

The relationship between the two parties was so tense a while ago, and I don't understand why the old man came to see me today.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was experienced in dealing with people, did not let this awkward atmosphere last too long. He smiled slightly and said: "What's wrong? Naruto remembers that when I was a child, old man, I came to visit you. You were very happy, weren't you?

Now that I have grown up, I don’t like getting along with the old man anymore.

Still... you are still angry with me because of what happened last time."

Naruto scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "That's not the case, I just don't know what to say."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Then tell me about your experiences over the years, old man, I haven't heard any interesting stories about you for a long time. I remember in the past, as soon as I came, you would eagerly share with me what you had encountered recently. Interesting things.”

Now that the Sand Ninja attack on the village is over.

Naruto didn't mean to hide it either.

I briefly talked about my experiences over the years.

However, compared with when he was a child, he no longer had the excitement and impatient look, and he only talked about some superficial things lightly.

Use this to lighten the mood.

I didn’t go into too many details.

But as he was talking, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly said with a guilty look on his face: "Naruto, I'm sorry."

Naruto was dumbfounded.

The air suddenly became eerily quiet.

He even thought he heard it wrong.

But who knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "I am sorry for you. I have wronged you all these years."

Naruto was really shocked now

The old man is actually apologizing to himself

Without waiting for Naruto's reaction, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to himself: "I didn't do it well. If I had looked at you properly, you wouldn't have suffered so many injustices over the years."

Naruto still sat there dumbfounded.

His mouth was slightly open, not knowing what reaction to give.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hey~Naruto, blame me if you want. I hope you won't resent the village."

Naruto exclaimed, "No, old man, I don't resent the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded happily and smiled: "That's good, that's good. Grandpa Hokage, I am already old, and I don't know if I can still see you grow up.

From now on, Konoha will rely on the young people of your generation. "

As he said that, he patted Naruto on the shoulder to show encouragement: "Okay, old man, I'm going to leave first, so as not to make you feel uncomfortable, haha."

Looking at Grandpa Hokage's lonely back.

The lonely back of an old man.

In addition, the old man even lowered his dignity and personally apologized to himself.

Don't know how.

The resentment that Naruto buried deep in his heart also disappeared a lot because of this.

After leaving Naruto's house.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked and came to Sasuke's house again.

叩

叩

叩

Sasuke, who was at home, opened the door impatiently: "Three, three, three generations."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded: "Well, can you let me go in and chat for a few words?"

No matter how cold-hearted Sasuke was, he still seemed a little overwhelmed when he encountered the sudden visit of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage. With his mind going blank, he subconsciously replied: "Please."

Once again, one big and one small were sitting in front of the low table.

Sasuke: "Sandai, you have something to do with me"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Don't be nervous, I just want to check on you. See if you are doing well."

Sasuke: "You have your heart. I can take care of myself, and it's no problem being alone."

"Hey~, Sasuke. I'm sorry for you."

The same scene was played out again at Sasuke's house

Sasuke's level of shock was not much different from Naruto's

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "It's all my fault. If I had discovered your brother's problem in advance, your family would not have encountered this situation."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen mention the word "brother".

Sasuke's expression immediately became serious.

Even the tension I felt just now was completely forgotten.

"That's enough, stop saying that he is not my brother. I swear I will kill that man," Sasuke said angrily.

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Sasuke on the shoulder and comforted: "I can understand your mood. But revenge is revenge. Sasuke, I don't want you to lose yourself because of hatred.

Don't worry, the culprit who destroyed our top family in Konoha will be wanted by the village even if you don't take action.

remember.

Don't force yourself.

If you need any help, just tell Grandpa Hokage to me.

If you can do it, Grandpa Hokage, I will definitely not refuse. "

After hearing these words, Sasuke stared blankly at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him a kind smile again: "Okay, Grandpa Hokage, I won't bother you anymore, lest you think I am angry, haha."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiizan's back.

Sasuke didn't recover for a long time.

But he was not as innocent as Naruto and was moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Believe this old man

Ha ha.

Then I might as well believe in myself

It's been a few years

Now you come to tell me that the village is fully wanted

If the village tried its best to arrest the man but still couldn't capture the man, wouldn't the village be useless enough?

Then why do I expect the village to come?

Thinking of this, Sasuke once again confirmed his belief.

Just follow Li Yaoxiang's plan.
