At the same time, when Naruto collapsed and made a firm resolution must leave the cell this night.
Hokage Residence. In Conference Hall.
"How is Naruto?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen originally wanted to harden his heart and not ask about Naruto. In the end, he was still unable to bear it and asked Shimura Danzo about Naruto's situation.
Shimura Danzo glanced at him disdainfully and answered what he was not asking: "You can rest assured. There is already a seal team around the demon fox, there will be no problems."
Danzo was proud of his recent successes.
Everything was smooth.
Not long ago, a large number of Sharingan had just succeeded, and in less than a month, Orochimaru had successfully transplanted it to him! His strength is even better now!
Now with the addition of Naruto, the Jinchuriki, has fallen into his hands, which is even more indelible. As a result, when he faced the Sarutobi Hiruzen, a Hokage, his attitude became more vicious and unscrupulous.
After all, in his view, it is only a matter of time before Naruto can be completely controlled.
After he got the Jinchuriki, Naruto, the entire Konoha will be his. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, don't matter anymore.
Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly did not think as much as Shimura Danzo. He was just in guilt for the events such as Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Clan. Therefore, he always hesitates when he will start something.
Although Danzo belongs to the dark side, it is always Danzo who carries the back. But his bright side is also uncomfortable because, in front of everyone who trusts him, he is the one who gives the promise. But he was always the one who broke the promise in the end.
When the decision was made, it didn't matter for him.
At that time, he was young enough and ruthless enough!
But with age...
People—the older you are, the more you will remember the past.
This caused him, the former Shinobu, to lose his former heroic ambitions.
Seeing Danzo, an old close friend, he didn't say anything anymore. He had to take the opportunity to change his words: "Well, be safe. I will let Yamato stay there too, just in case."
Shimura Danzo: "Feel free."
Next, the elders in the Conference Hall continue to discuss other things.
...
At the same time.
At Hyuga Clan's residence. Outside Hinata's room.
Hyuga Hiashi came here, glanced at the plate of food on the ground, and frowned. He asked the two guards in front of the door: "Eldest Young Lady didn't eat anything?"
The guard was obviously also worried and nervous: "Yes... yes... yes, Clan Leader."
Hyuga Hiashi said: "How many days have it been?"
The guard said: "Clan- Clan Leader, this is already the 3rd day."
Silence for a moment.
Hyuga Hiashi waved his hand, instructed the two guards: "You leave first. Let me talk to Eldest Young Lady alone."
After the two guards leave, Hyuga Hiashi opened the Japanese-style sliding door.
It was Hinata with her back to his eyes. Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but sigh and said long-term focus: "Hinata, why are you like this? Do you know that you are not cherishing yourself like this. As a Father, I see how difficult it is..."
But before he finished talking, Hinata's body was suddenly on the verge of collapse!
And the air was filled with bloody smell!
"Hinata!
Hyuga Hiashi stopped abruptly, and before waiting for Hinata to fall to the ground, Hyuga Hiashi rushed forward to hold Hinata up and check her condition.
A lot of blood on Hinata's wrist.
And Hinata's face was even paler.
The blood hasn't clotted yet. Hyuga Hiashi, at first glance, knows what's going on!
Hinata waited for him to come before doing it!
"Guards--! Here---"
...…
After a while, Hinata's wound was healed, and she was lying on a cotton pad to rest.
Hyuga Hiashi sat on his knees next to his daughter; his face was sad: "Hinata, why do you do this?"
Hearing this, Hinata, who remained silent throughout the healing process, finally started to talk: "Father... you know... I want to see Naruto, I want to save Naruto..."
"Naa~" Hyuga Hiashi sighed. He did not plan to hide it from Hinata anymore and simply told her his hardship.
"Hinata, it's not that father does not want to help. It's Naruto. Even our Hyuga Clan has no room to intervene at all. At that time your Uncle, do you know how he died? That's because I killed someone who wanted to abduct you to save you. The village asked us to send a person out of Hyuga Clan to make amends. And your Uncle- for me, for the clan, instead of me- to make the amends. Do you really think that I, would like to see my own younger brother die in vain? But even if I tried to, how can I? Our Hyuga Clan doesn't choose this way, it doesn't work that way. Did you not see the consequences of Uchiha Clan? How can you tell me to take the whole clan down together?" The more he explained, Hyuga Hiashi's emotions became more agitated. Tears couldn't help but flow out.
Feeling the hoarse cry of her father, Hinata couldn't help but tremble slightly. Tears also continued to slip from the corner of her eyes. This time, Hinata finally understood her father's pain.
She also didn't expect that Sasuke's clan was destroyed because there is a deeper reason for it.
After learning about the difficulty, she asked nothing more. She doesn't plan to embarrass her father anymore.
Only...
She still can't let go of Naruto.
...
On a cliff near Konoha Village.
Sasuke's right hand lightning flashes!
The expression of excitement appeared on his face, moved towards the boulder in front of him, and smashed the 'Chidori' in his hand towards the boulder!
BANG!
BANG!
BOOM!
There was a roar everywhere.
The boulder was smashed out of a huge pit!
The gravel was scattered and covered the ground.
Kakashi, who was standing behind Sasuke, was very satisfied with the effect of this blow and was also very satisfied with the rapid progress of Sasuke's strength! After all, he came to train Sasuke in person. In fact, it was only a week ago, that is, Sasuke left from the Root's entrance shortly after.
Sasuke was able to make such progress; he already felt very incredible.
Compared to back then, he is not much better and even worse than the current Sasuke!
Kakashi believes that in time, Sasuke will be able to surpass him!
As for Sasuke at the time, when he heard someone willing to help him become stronger, he certainly would not refuse, no matter who Kakashi was and what his purpose was. He just accepted it and followed Kakashi's instructions to train.
However, it was different from the satisfied Kakashi behind him.
Sasuke, at this time, seeing the effect of Chidori, his face became gloomy!
'Damn it! Is this power?!'
That's right.
How can Sasuke, who had learned Rasengan, see Chidori's power as powerful? In the original work, Sasuke used only three Chidori at his limit during the Chunin exam.
Not to mention Sasuke, whose body has not grown up yet, can only use it once!
Chidori's consumption was too great, and his formidable power must have been extraordinary, right? But actually, it is worse than Rasengan!
This makes Sasuke, who wants to become stronger, be frustrated!
He wasted more than a week of hard training, but his strength did not improve much.
This only makes him feel more urgent about the matter of becoming stronger!
At the same time, because of the effect of this blow, it made him feel extremely disappointed with Kakashi-sensei.
...
A lake near Konoha Village.
Shin picked up a stone and threw it towards the lake at a slightly oblique angle.
The moment the stone was released, it flew towards the lake in a 360-degree continuous rotation.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
It skipped on the surface of the water seven times in a row before sinking to the bottom of the lake.
Standing behind Shin, Sai, who also held a stone, asked at this time: "Big brother, have you recently had concerns? How do I always feel that you are a little different recently?"
Shin froze for a moment and soon returned to the natural expression.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Shin covered his mouth and coughed.
After his throat felt more comfortable, he stopped coughing. The palm covering his mouth was slightly removed, and he realized that there was a pool of blood on his palm. He wiped the corners of his mouth with imperceptible movements and quickly wiped the blood in his hand using his deep black ninja pants. Immediately, he diverted Sai's sight, turned, and squatted.
With his other hand, he messed Sai's hair.
While staring at Sai, he said with a slight smile: "Cough, cough, cough! I'm fine, don't think too much. Did you remember what I told you before?"
Sai said with pride in his face: "Of course! Just run northeast no matter what happens to the village as soon as you give me the code. Rest assured, big brother. You have reminded me more than once. I will never forget it."
Shin nodded with satisfaction.
...
Quiet night. There are various ups and downs in the village of Konoha, happening on the same day.
And just when everyone thought that today would be a night without fear and danger, inside the village, at the entrance of Root, a deafening roar of the beast suddenly came!
ROAR------!
The roar of a beast just sounded.
Countless family members, or children, jumped!
The cry of babies also followed.
Those villagers who came to Konoha after the 'Demon Fox Attack' was better. They only felt shocked by such a sudden beast roar. They didn't know what horrible situation they will face next.
But how about those Villagers who were born and raised in Konoha?
It would be impossible for them ever to forget this roar of the beast! Because the roar of the beast is exactly the same as the disaster 7 years ago! Everyone was scared and turned pale with fright!
Many people even forgot to move.
Those holding a teacup fell to the ground with a loud crack.
Those cutting something in the kitchen didn't even feel pain when the knife injured them.
Everyone's mind has become blank, and their whole body was terrified and trembling.
ROAR—!
When the second roar of the beast sounded, everyone reacted.
Immediately afterward, there were screams and exclamations all over Konoha Village!
...…
In the Conference Hall in Hokage Residence.
The initial calm atmosphere- The Konoha Elders, who were discussing various village affairs in the village, can't be calm! All four suddenly stood up at the same time! They looked at each other in horror and then turned their gazes to Shimura Danzo.
Shimura Danzo's face was particularly dark.
It's just that now is not the time to investigate.
The three elders just glanced at Shimura Danzo fiercely, and then they left the Conference Hall through the window.
Seeing this, Shimura Danzo, with a horrid expression, did not dare to delay any longer.
After all, the location of the accident, this time undoubtedly happened in his turf. It is also impossible for him to sit idly by.
...…
Hyuga Clan residence.
Hinata's room.
Hearing the roar of the beast, she thought of Naruto's identity. The original seemingly sick Hinata suddenly sat upright. Hyuga Hiashi became serious, looking towards the roar of the beast.
"Come--!"
Xiu! Xiu!
Two soft sounds.
Two guards immediately appeared in front of them.
"Go evacuate the family members and let everyone go to a safe place! Also, protect Eldest Young Lady!"
As soon as Hyuga Hiashi finished talking, he was about to leave.
But before he stood up, Hinata grabbed his sleeve, looked firmly at his father.
At this time, how could Hyuga Hiashi not know his daughter's thoughts? He looked at his daughter's eyes, then looked at the wound on his daughter's wrist. He hesitated slightly, and once he clenched his teeth, he said to the two guards: "Send someone to follow Eldest Young Lady to the scene. Remember, you must. Keep. Safe. Distance!"
...….
On the cliff near Konoha Village, Kakashi and Sasuke also looked towards the direction from the roar of the beast.
Originally, because Sasuke has made substantial progress in strength, Kakashi was in a good mood. However, after hearing this beast roar, his face could not help but become hard to look at.
He did not forget that his teacher was killed by this beast.
Remembering his former teacher, Kakashi thought of Naruto. He turned around and grabbed Sasuke's arms. He solemnly warned repeatedly: "I'll go and have a look. You stay here first, don't go anywhere!"
After that, Kakashi flashed several times in a row.
But why would Sasuke listen to him? He was also worried about Naruto. He just followed along without waiting for how long Kakashi had left.
...…
Lake near Konoha Village.
The roar of the beast rumbled the lake.
Shin was startled. Then he was overjoyed!
"Sai, right now! Run directly in the northeast direction! Remember, no matter what happens, don't come back! Someone will meet you in that direction."
As soon as Sai recovered, he wanted to start to talk to stop his big brother and ask what was happening, but Shin had disappeared without waiting for him to speak out.
Seeing his big brother being so nervous, Sai felt an uneasy little inside. He looked in the direction of Shin... He took another look at the direction of the northeast.
After struggling for a long time, he finally chose to obey the instructions of the big brother and ran towards the northeast.
