Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san

Chapter 417 The next day

"Something serious has happened, Hokage-sama!"

Nara Shikaku pushed open the door roughly, his face turned pale, his eyes bulged like goldfish eyes, and he was terrified.

Normally, as a Jonin squad leader, he would not be timid even if he faced thousands of troops, but what he discovered this morning made it difficult for him to remain calm.

Overnight, many deaths occurred in the village, all of whom died tragically at home, including many powerful ninjas.

On his way here, the death toll kept refreshing.

"H-Hokage Da...person?"

The office was empty, and the Third Hokage who usually worked here early was nowhere to be seen.

Damn it, at this critical moment.

Shikaku cursed secretly, took a breath, and forced himself to calm down.

Could it be that Lord Hokage has been informed by ANBU and rushed to the scene immediately?

Shikaku thought this was possible, so he immediately found the registration clerk in the office building and asked, "Have you seen the Third Hokage?"

The registration clerk shook his head and said in confusion: "Normally, Hokage-sama comes very early, but today I don't know why no one has come yet."

"What did you say!"

Shikaku's eyes pupils dilated, and no one even came. "

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Seeing that he was in a daze, the registration staff couldn't help but ask: "Sir Lujiu..."

Shikaku didn't respond, and rushed to the Hokage's residence in a hurry, hoping that nothing would happen to the Hokage.

When he arrived at the Hokage's residence and opened the door, he saw a group of people surrounding a corpse, with gloomy faces and silence. The corpse was the third Hokage Sarutobi Hi. The corpse was ossified and there were marks on his face. Corpse spots, from these aspects it can be inferred that the Third Hokage has been dead for several hours.

After all, the situation developed in the most unfavorable direction.

The people in the room noticed Shikamaru's arrival and all cast their glances.

He is the Jonin squad leader and the wisest person in the village. Everyone points to him to make decisions.

Shikaku closed his eyes, took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, opened his legs, and struggled to move: "What's going on?"

In the room, a masked ninja said in a dull voice: "When we came here, Lord Hokage was already..."

Shikaku looked around the room and noticed that the food on the table had not been finished yet. The two chairs were placed so that it was obvious that one person was not eating alone. In addition, there were no traces of a fight, so more or less evidence could be inferred.

Someone asked: "How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Shikaku nodded: "Did anyone have dinner with Hokage-sama last night?"

After hearing what he said, everyone thought for a while: "I'm afraid that's the only one who can have dinner with Mr. Hokage."

Asma has a special status, so she still has some scruples when speaking.

Shikaku breathed out: "Go and find him immediately."

"Yes."

After giving this order, Shikaku said with a solemn expression: "The murder of the Third Hokage must not be leaked, at least until a new Hokage is elected."

After that, he called a few people and prepared to inform the other senior officials.

Seeing everyone looking at each other in shock and still frozen in place, Shikaku couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong?"

One person gritted his teeth and said: "Master Xiaochun, Master Menyan have also..."

"How can this be……"

The pupils of Shikaku's eyes dilated instantly, with a look of shock on his face.

This is really terrifying. Who can kill these people overnight without any movement.

You know, these people are not weak in strength.

"..."

"Where's Danzo-sama?"

"There is no news from Danzo-sama yet...but I'm afraid..."

Danzo's usual range of activities is difficult to delineate and difficult to find.

Although the reply has not yet been clear, three of the four top leaders of Konoha have already cooled down, and the remaining people will subconsciously think in that direction.

Hearing these horrifying news, Shikaku even trembled in his breathing.

At this time, another person has to arrive here.

Everyone looked at the man with white hair and a tall figure. He was staring at the dead body on the ground with wide eyes and a look of horror on his face. A weak voice came out from the widest mouth: "Old man..."

Everyone sighed: "Jiraiya-sama..."

"What the hell is going on-!"

Jiraiya screamed. When he received the news, he thought he heard it wrong at first, but when he arrived, the cruel reality hit him hard.

Shikaku explained the outcome of the matter to him succinctly.

Jiraiya's chest was silent, and even his breath became as heavy as lead.

He was thinking of someone.

Only that person has this ability and motivation.

He knows the inside of some villages better than the people here, so he will think about it.

Jiraiya's face was gloomy, he clenched his fists and turned around without saying a word.

Seeing that Jiraiya was about to leave, everyone quickly shouted: "Jiraiya-sama, where are you going?"

Jiraiya didn't respond and rushed out the door.

"Shikaku-sama, Jiraiya-sama, this is..." someone asked sideways.

Shikaku closed his eyes and shook his head: "Let him go. The most urgent task now is to summon representatives of the major families to elect a new Hokage."

……

……

Jiraiya immersed himself in the rush and arrived at the Uchiha tribe located in a remote part of the village in a blink of an eye.

As soon as he arrived here, he immediately raised his voice and shouted:

"Aojiha, Uchiha Aojiha, get out of here."

"I know, you are here."

His voice was irritable, mixed with vulgar words from time to time, and he shouted several times in succession, which quickly attracted the attention of the Uchiha tribe. Aokiji had great prestige in the tribe, and Jiraiya's rude words attracted the displeasure of the tribe:

"Jiraiya-sama, you are insulting our clan leader, we can't pretend we didn't see it."

"What do you want?"

"Apologize."

Jiraiya was angry and not as easy-going as before: "If I don't apologize, what do you want?"

The three magatama appeared in the eyes of the Uchiha members, and they responded with practical actions.

They followed Lord Aokiji last night and killed countless people. Their fighting instincts that had been suppressed in the past were released. Now they will not be as patient as they were in the past.

Just when neither side gave way, a leisurely voice sounded, interrupting the tense situation.

"stop."

Seeing the person coming, the Uchiha people automatically dispersed to both sides, revealing a road for people to pass through.

Jiraiya's face was as dark as water: "Ao Pheasant..."

"Jiraiya is my relative, friend, and brother. How can you do something to him?"

Upon hearing Aokiji's reproach, the Uchiha members who had just been aggressive suddenly changed their attitude and lowered their voices: "I'm sorry, Aokiji-sama..."

Qingzhi raised his hand and indicated that this was the case.

Then he looked at Jiraiya and said mockingly: "What kind of wind is blowing today to bring your noble Hokage disciple to this ruined temple of mine?"

"Qing Pheasant..."

Jiraiya's growling voice seemed to bite the name into pieces.

Qingzhi's expression didn't understand: "What's wrong? Why are you looking so fiercely? Why are you making a joke..."

Jiraiya shouted sternly: "Ao Pheasant——!"

Qingzhi raised his hand, as if he was admitting defeat: "Okay, I'll apologize. I shouldn't have attacked you."

Jiraiya said gloomily: "You should know that this is not what I am referring to."

As the conversation between the two continued to deepen, more and more Uchiha people gathered around them unknowingly.

Fugaku glanced at the people around him, and everyone understood, and they voluntarily left and took away the clan members who didn't know the truth, leaving the two of them alone with each other.

Fugaku looked at the two of them deeply and then left.

Walking on the road, Itachi couldn't help but ask: "Father, Uncle Qingzhi, he..."

Fugaku lamented: "The good friends in the past will probably become incompatible people after this."

On the other side, all the other people had left. Jiraiya no longer had any worries and went straight to the topic: "Aoji, I ask you, tell me the truth."

What is supposed to come will always come. Qingzhi was already prepared, exhaled a breath, and said relaxedly: "Okay, you can ask."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and asked, "Did you kill Minato back then?"

"Who?"

"The Fourth Hokage, my disciple."

When Qingzhi heard this, he was stunned: "What are you talking about?"
