At this moment, inside the Konoha Sanatorium.

A certain Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is lying on a hospital bed, eating fruit while flipping through Forbidden Technique scrolls.

At the bedside, Sarutobi Asuma, with a sad face, is also peeling fruit for Sarutobi.

"Asuma, is there still no news of Sunset Red?"

Sarutobi asked.

As a father, how could he not feel Asuma's worries?

Since the last big war, Sunset Red disappeared.

Asuma has been depressed and languishing...

Obviously, he was worried about his childhood sweetheart!

"No..."

"According to the war report from Iwagakure, she must have died in battle..."

Asuma was helpless, very lonely.

If Sunset Red is captured by Iwagakure.

He himself has long been redeeming it through operation.

But until now, there is no news of sunset red in the list of prisoners on Rock Shinobi's side.

Apparently, nine times out of ten, she has already been killed...

"Hey..."

Sarutobi sighed.

Although Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not reverse death.

That sunset red is a good girl.

The talent is also good, and he has also instructed her to cultivate illusions.

It's a pity that it fell into [Iwagakure] like this!

However, since it is a war.

Dead people are inevitable...

Looking in another direction, it is also good that he already has his eldest grandson, Konohamaru.

It's not in a hurry to urge Asuma to marry.

After a few years, let time smooth out his pain, and then choose a good girl for him.

"Asuma, go with the mourning."

"Blame me too, insisting on starting this war..."

Asuma shook her head, clenched her fists, and responded:

"I don't blame you, father, you are also for the village."

"If it weren't for this big battle, we would have won. If [Iwagakure] hits Konoha, it will only cause more casualties! ”

"Their sacrifice is worth it!"

Apparently, Asuma also approves of the war.

It's just that.

For a while, it was difficult to get out of the grief of losing his childhood sweetheart.

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Asuma's shoulder and comforted again.

And let Asuma go back first, take a good rest, and relax your body and mind.

As for Sarutobi himself.

Except for the lost half of the left hand, it is difficult to recover.

His injuries have largely healed.

The reason why he continues to stay in the nursing home is just to hide behind the scenes and manipulate secretly.

It is not much different from the Fourth Generation who succeeded to the throne.

......

"Wha-"

As soon as Asuma left, another figure wearing Anbu's mask sneaked into the room and came to Sarutobi's side.

"The sacrifice of that female ninja is not a small blow to the second brother!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sighed secretly.

Even as the eldest brother, he is not good at comforting Asuma in this kind of childlike relationship.

"It's okay, time will smooth everything out."

"Trust him, you'll cheer up."

Sarutobi waved his hand in response.

After several ninja world wars, he was also deeply touched by the parting of life and death.

Compared to these little things, though.

More than half a month ago, the Hayuga family was shocked, which made Sarutobi even more anxious.

Overnight, hundreds of Hyuga branch house ninjas defected en masse.

This has never been heard of in the entire history of Konoha!

Ahem...

Except for the Uchiha family, who defected before...

"The Hyuga family, how is the situation now?" Sarutobi asked.

"It's terrible."

"The Soya recalled all the remaining branch house ninjas, and all were banned from the house. We can no longer use [White Eye] to assist in monitoring the periphery of the village. ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Grounded all the remaining branch house ninjas?" Why? ”

Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "Rumor has it that the Hyuga branch house ninjas who defected have a way to disarm the Curse Mark: Caged Birds of the Hayuga clan!" ”

"In order to calm the hearts of the people and avoid any more defectors. The Hayuga clan has banned all the remaining branch house ninjas..."

"As soon as you find someone leaving privately, you will immediately launch a spell to obliterate the branch house ninja!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was taken aback.

"Can you undo Curse Mark: Caged Bird?" How is this possible? ”

The Curse Mark: Caged Bird of the Hayuga family is not simple, and even the Second Generation Lord Tobirama failed to crack it.

Nowadays, how can there be a way to crack it!

Eighty percent are just rumors used for demagoguery.

However, with Hyuga Hiashi's experience, should not be easily bluffed by such rumors?

Is there really a way to crack it?

"Divide some Anbu manpower and quietly investigate."

"See if this rumor is true."

"By the way, also strengthen the surveillance of Hyuga's family."

"The Hyuga family, as a famous gate in the village, is also the mainstay of the village."

"No one will be allowed to defect again!"

Sarutobi ordered solemnly.

First the Uchiha family defected, and now the Hyuga family...

If you don't curb it, the entire ninja clan of Konoha will escape!

What's more?

"Yes!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke led the way.

"That's right. It was said before that the person who attacked the Hayuga clan was a ninja from Cloud Shinobi Village, but has it been verified now? ”

"It has been basically verified!"

"The spies lurking in [Cloud Shinobi Village] on the other side of the root reported that [Cloud Shinobi Village] got a new pair of white eyes half a month ago and are looking for a suitable transplant..."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious again:

"Sure enough, it was done by Cloud Shinobi's beast!"

"Abominable! Four years ago, it was the beasts who killed Hyuga Hizashi. ”

"Unexpectedly, now the thief's heart is not dead."

"Take advantage of our battle with Rock Shinobi to strike again!"

"What a beast!"

Sarutobi cursed.

I can't wait to pounce on Cloud Shinobi now and make them pay!

"Lord Hokage, please stop being angry!"

"Even if Cloud Shinobi did it... Our village can't withstand the second big war! ”

Sarutobi Shinnosuke hurriedly persuaded.

"Hey..."

"I know, don't worry."

"I'm measured."

"This account is written down first. Later, I'll have Cloud Shinobi pay it back! ”

Sarutobi took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

He naturally knew that after a battle with Rock Shinobi.

Although Konoha did not lose much, it was almost squeezed dry.

All thanks to Rock Shinobi's compensation; Funding from Jiraiya; As well as the assistance of the daimyo country, this barely survived this hurdle.

There is no more power to go to war with Cloud Shinobi.

I'm afraid that Cloud Shinobi also calculated this.

Do you dare to launch a surprise attack on the Hyuga clan unscrupulously?

......

"The great enchantment of the village, how long will it take to repair?"

"It is estimated that it will take about half a month."

"Let them speed up!"

"In addition, pay attention to strengthening your precautions, you can't give other hidden villages another chance to invade!"

"Okay, you go get busy too."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and instructed again.

"Obey!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke took the lead and was about to leave.

It's just that at this moment.

Bang.

The door of the nursing room was slammed open.

A figure rushed in.

Frightened, Sarutobi Shinnosuke hurried to guard, thinking that the enemy had broken in.

When I looked at it, I realized that it was the agent Hokage: Jiraiya-sama.

"Jiraiya, can't you even knock on the door?"

Sarutobi grimaced and reprimanded angrily.

But at this time, Jiraiya didn't bother with these details at all.

Hurriedly said loudly:

"Something went wrong. 【Xiao】The organization is going to raid Konoha! ”

"What Xiao?"

"It's the increasingly famous renegade mercenary organization in the ninja underground trading market!"

"Oh! It's them! ”

Sarutobi suddenly seemed to have occasionally seen information related to it when dealing with official documents before.

However, Sarutobi doesn't know much about it.

After all, as Hokage, there are too many government affairs to deal with.

How can I have the leisure to investigate and understand every mercenary organization in the world!

"A mercenary organization, why should you panic so much?"

Jiraiya: "Their leader has Rinnegan! It is the Sage of Six Paths, who is regarded as the "Ninja Ancestor", and has the Eye of God! ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen:0ДQ!!!

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "How could it be?!! Jiraiya, where did you get the news, is it reliable? ”

Jiraiya: "It's the message that Orochimaru passed on me. Besides, I've seen those eyes before! ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen:......
