[Upon hearing this.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his eyes slightly.]
Danzo Shimura sneered.
He glanced at the silent Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him.
His eyes were full of mockery.
Hiruzen Sarutobi could naturally feel the gaze of his good friend Danzo Shimura.
"If Hiruzen doesn't want to be released, then release us."
[Mitokado Homura suddenly spoke.]
The villagers were taken aback, then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer the question.
Instead, the question was asked:
"Asuma... and Konohamaru... how are they?"
[Upon hearing this,]
The expressions on their faces immediately changed.
[His face was filled with indignation.]
"The entire Konoha Guard... and the ninja masters of the Sarutobi clan... are all imprisoned in the dungeon!"
"The Hokage, who assisted Lord Sarutobi Asuma... was also imprisoned and is under investigation."
"Young Master Konohamaru...Young Master Konohamaru is unaffected, but he seems unable to get over it."
Asuma is alright for now.
[Was Konohamaru unaffected at all...?]
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were slightly red.
For a moment, my emotions were incredibly complex.
"Let's go back."
["What?!"]
"Let's go back."
[Sarutobi Hiruzen repeats this.]
"No one is forbidding you from leaving the village, and similarly, no one is forcing you to leave."
["impossible!"]
The villagers immediately became indignant.
"Third Hokage, please pull yourself together!"
"We'll help you regain your Hokage position!"
"Those guys...we must capture them all!"
"We're furious! Since that fox demon family took control of Konoha, the village has become a complete mess!"
"We are constantly being maliciously targeted!"
["..."
Several people were talking at once.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.
"Let's go quickly."
"Don't let anyone see this."
["snort!"]
At this moment, Koharu, who had been silent for a long time, let out a cold snort.
"Hiruzen."
"Since you're unwilling to leave, you'll remain tied up here indefinitely!"
"You lot, let go of me and Yan!"
Several villagers heard the familiar, arrogant tone.
He shrank back.
[I glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
[Then she looked at Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.]
"But... the Third Hokage..."
"Hiruzen is no longer the Third Hokage!"
"You all want the Third Hokage that much?"
"Fine, let Danzo become your Third Hokage!"
[Xiaochun, who had just switched dorms, said irritably.]
[Upon hearing this.]
[Shimura Danzo slowly opened his eyes.]
"I have no interest. Don't bother me."
["roll."]
Its voice was very calm.
I just find these people noisy.
[Except for Koharu Tateru and Homura Mitokado.]
Whether it's Hiruzen Sarutobi or Danzo Shimura.
Both of them could break free from their restraints at will.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not.
Danzo Shimura, however, believed it was unnecessary.
It's good to be here.
Right under their noses.
This is equivalent to the darkest place being under the lamp.
It can recklessly prepare for future comeback plans.
"Let me and Xiaochun go."
"We'll take you away from Konoha!"
[Well...]
Several villagers looked at each other in bewilderment.
These are the two Hokage advisors.
[His status is not low.]
But... his strength doesn't seem to be that great.
Let them lead the way.
What should you do if you encounter wandering ninjas or bandits?
Moreover... without strength, let alone the possibility of securing a stable source of food and rest.
[The question is... whether or not to keep them both.]
["how?"]
"Have our words lost their power?!"
[Mitomon said coldly.]
Koharu, turning to her new room, also let out a heavy sigh.
Several villagers panicked.
[He was about to explain something.]
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
"Leave."
"They're back, they've been seen, and you're going to be thrown out of Konoha."
[Upon hearing this,]
Several villagers immediately nodded.
"I apologize, Third Hokage, we didn't consider this carefully."
"Just you wait, this opportunity will come soon!"
"There will definitely be plenty of time then!"
"A family of evil fox demons actually wants to start a ninja world war..."
"Let's go," Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted them.
["yes..."]
None of them dared to stay any longer.
If we get seen, we're doomed.
They didn't want to leave Konoha like this.
Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died.
I heard that the daimyo will take them in.
[but...]
[Without a name or status, it was even worse than staying in Konoha.]
Moreover, without a leader, even reaching the daimyo's territory is a question.
After they leave.
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his eyes and gazed into the distance.
The sounds of fighting could be heard from there.
This made its heart even heavier.
Such power.
It's beyond its capabilities.
Now, all it can do is obediently atone for its sins here.
It can no longer care about anyone else.
But it still hopes to perform better.
[This can lessen the burden of guilt on Konohamaru's head.]
Kurotsuchi: "Young Master Konohamaru."
Kurotsuchi: "Tsk tsk tsk~"
Kurotsuchi: "The old Konoha shouldn't have been called Konoha, it should have been called Sarutobi Village."
Feng: "I feel the same way!"
Tian Tian: "Is that even a question?"
Tenten: "They all call Konohamaru 'Young Master' so naturally now."
Konohamaru lowered his head, unsure of what to say, his mind a jumbled mess.
This state has remained unchanged for a long time.
He could also sense that everyone's gaze towards him had changed.
He didn't dare to look up.
For a fleeting moment.
Konohamaru thought.
This is perhaps what Naruto's older brother went through.
You can change your mind.
Konohamaru shook his head again.
No, what he saw was Naruto, whether in the black-framed world or in this world.
What Naruto's brother suffered was a hundred times worse than what I am experiencing now.
...
[night. ]
Upon his return, Tobirama Senju immediately began handling government affairs.
Hashirama Senju has fallen.
The snoring was deafening.
[After a long while.]
Tobirama Senju stopped what he was doing.
Look up at the bright moon.
"Naruto."
"I'll leave Xiaogang to you in the future."
"That girl was spoiled rotten by her older brother since she was little."
["return..."]
"Tsunade is doing well," Naruto interrupted Tobirama Senju.
Tobirama Senju paused.
[He opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped.]
[elder sister? ]
[never mind. ]
He shouldn't nag about things that concern young people.
"My older brother and I are ultimately dead."
"Spending too much time in the real world is ultimately not a good thing."
"The ninja world, like humans, needs metabolism."
