The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

At the same time that Naruto was asked out by Sasuke.

Hokage Tower.

Naruto's interior.

Two ANBU ninjas suddenly appeared in the Hokage room: "Sandai, I have followed your instructions to spread the news of Sasuke's death."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction and signaled the two ANBU ninjas to leave.

But one of the ANBU ninja couldn't help but asked: "Sandai, is Uchiha Sasuke really dead?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

Some people were dissatisfied and said: "Do what you should do!"

The ANBU ninja who asked the question looked as if he was determined to leave. It wasn't until his colleague next to him pulled his sleeve that he was willing to leave.

After the two figures completely disappeared under his eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed his strength and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Hey~

Do even the people under his command have doubts about him now?

I... am indeed old...

Immediately afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked disappointed, but he cheered up again and took a deep breath.

It no longer matters what everyone’s attitude is towards you!

As long as this plan is successful, everything will end here!

...

Inside Konoha Village.

When the news of Sasuke's death spread, all parties had different reactions. The first person to notice that something was fishy was of course Shimura Danzo, an old friend who had been with Sarutobi Hiruzen for decades.

As he had all kinds of information in the village, it was of course impossible for him to miss the fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen sent Sasuke out to pick up the mission.

Just got this news.

He already felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

After all, others may not know it, but these old friends in high positions are very aware of the problem of Uchiha Itachi in the village.

Touching Sasuke would mean breaking up with Uchiha Itachi.

Therefore, in the entire Konoha Village, anyone could take action against Sasuke, but the four of them were the only ones who not only would not take action against Sasuke, but also wanted to ensure that Sasuke would not die in their hands.

So no matter what, it was absolutely impossible for Shimura Danzo to believe that Sasuke would die during the mission entrusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This is why in the original work, Danzo Shimura will try every means to solve this trouble.

Pretend to reveal information about Uchiha Itachi to Orochimaru and guide him to attack Uchiha Itachi.

Then when Orochimaru wanted to abduct Sasuke, he tried every means to cooperate.

Otherwise, if he really wanted to stop him, how could the four sound ninjas, plus one Sasuke, be able to escape from his base?

All in all.

Just to get rid of the trouble of Uchiha Itachi.

Let Orochimaru successfully abduct Sasuke and attract Uchiha Itachi's hatred value.

Therefore, after his subordinates reported the news to him, he just sneered and dismissed it, and ordered his subordinates to continue to pay close attention to the movements of Sarutobi Hiruzen's troops.

He firmly believed that this old friend must be planning something.

Don't move on your own and wait until you see the situation clearly before speaking.

on the other hand.

Kakashi felt very uncomfortable after hearing the news.

He first went to confirm the authenticity of the news.

After discovering that the news came from the ANBU, he never questioned the result again. After all, he was also kept in the dark about the Uchiha being exterminated.

Then the first thing he did was go to Obito's grave to apologize.

He said that he didn't take good care of Sasuke.

Let the Uchiha clan, the only remaining seedling, be wiped out.

And inside the Hyuga clan's residence.

In the courtyard of the Hyuga clan.

In the past few years since Naruto left, Hinata, apart from daily study and training with Hiruzen Sarutobi, a nominal teacher, spent most of the rest of her time focusing on her younger sister Hinata Hanabi.

I will carefully teach my sister how to practice every day.

Let my sister become stronger, and I hope my sister can be independent.

On this day, she was teaching her younger sister Baguazhang as always.

At this moment, the chatter of the patrolling guards happened to catch Hinata's ears.

"Hey, have you heard? There are rumors outside that Uchiha Sasuke seems to have died in this mission."

"Really?! Isn't that the eldest lady's teammate? Do we need to tell the eldest lady?"

"Hey, it's better not to worry about it. I believe it won't be long before the eldest lady will know about it."

The two patrolling guards didn't know that their eldest lady was on the other side of the wall, nor did they know that Hinata had heard everything they just said.

Hinata's body trembled slightly.

Halfway through the exercise, Hanabi noticed something was wrong and walked over cutely: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Hinata wiped her eyes: "It's okay, sister, there is sand in her eyes."

Immediately, Hinata pretended that nothing was wrong and brushed her sister's hair: "Hanabi, please practice harder. Didn't you say you want to catch up with me? When I was your age, I was much better than you are now!"

Hinata Hanabi looked in admiration, her eyes brightened and she thanked him, then turned around and went back to exercise.

But what she didn't notice was that the moment she turned around, she looked at her seemingly strong sister and wiped the corners of her eyes again.

...

at the same time.

Hokage Tower.

Naruto's interior.

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was satisfied that this plan was going so smoothly, an ANBU ninja suddenly appeared behind him: "Sandai, Uzumaki Naruto is heading in our direction with hostility.

come over."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he was delighted for a while.

coming!

He waved his hand, signaling the ANBU ninja to leave.

as expected.

It didn't take long.

There was a loud bang at the door of the Hokage's room, and Naruto kicked it open! Then he hurriedly came to him and slapped the table: "Old man! What the hell is going on! Didn't you mean this mission?

Is it safe? Then how could something happen to Sasuke?!"

The old god Sarutobi Hiruzen said on the ground: "Naruto, calm down first."

Naruto suddenly swept the documents on the desktop to the ground: "Sasuke is dead now! How can you tell me to calm down!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Listen to me first. Sasuke is not dead. He just suffered some injuries. He still needs time to recuperate. When the injuries are healed, Sasuke will naturally come back.

I don’t know what’s going on with the news in the village, everyone must have misunderstood.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's series of words.

Naruto was stunned for a moment.

Sasuke is not dead yet?

Could it be that the old man's people have found Sasuke in the river?

No, that's not right!

How can this be?!

I have been searching for a long time by the river. If the old man sent someone to look for Sasuke, how could I not find it?!

Just when Naruto noticed something was wrong, the two ANBU ninjas responsible for monitoring Sasuke also arrived at the Hokage's room at exactly this time.

(ps: Today’s second chapter. Let’s go exercise and eat first. I wish everyone good health in the new year!)
