In the evening, the originally clear sky was now shrouded in clouds.
The cold wind howled and hit my face, causing pain like needle pricks.
The dark clouds piled up into one piece, like a thick piece of iron, gradually sinking to the ground, and seemed to have covered the Hokage Rock.
There were only a few pedestrians on the streets of Konoha Village.
They all wrapped up their cotton-padded jackets tightly and retracted their necks into their scarves. The hot breath exhaled from their mouths instantly turned into white air when it encountered the cold temperature outside.
Uchiha Tunan walked out of the orphanage and closed the door with his backhand.
"Gugu~"
In the sky, a group of birds flew across, seeming to want to go to the forest to escape the coming severe cold.
Uchiha Tunan's expression remained unchanged as he tightened his windbreaker and walked towards the Sarutobi clan in a leisurely manner.
one two three.....
There were a total of six ANBU secretly monitoring the situation.
Uchiha Tunan had a bad feeling in his heart.
Just now, an ANBU broke into the orphanage directly and said that Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him to go to his place for dinner tonight.
Now there are six ANBU monitoring him.
I thought it was an ordinary family banquet, but it seemed that this was probably a Hongmen banquet.
What went wrong to make Hiruzen Sarutobi act so uncharacteristically?
Many possibilities flashed through Uchiha Tunan's mind.
Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan stopped.
The ANBU ninja hiding in the darkness suddenly became nervous.
Uchiha Tunan turned around and headed back to the orphanage.
The ANBU ninjas started signing with each other.
"what to do."
"Lord Hokage only asked us to pay attention to his movements. Don't make any noise for now and wait and see what happens."
...
The sky gradually darkened, and due to climate reasons, there was no moon in the sky.
Ordinary people cannot see clearly even trees a few meters away in an environment without light.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting in the living room, smoking a cigarette and looking at the family photo frame in his hand.
The trembling hand gently brushed the photo, as if caressing the person inside.
All he could think of was Shinnosuke and Asuma playing beside him when they were little.
Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered their appearance and voices, but he would never have the chance to experience them in person.
Previously, Sarutobi Hiruzen was depressed every day due to the pain of losing his son.
But in this darkest period, it was Uchiha Tunan who gave him warmth.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that his mood was more complicated than ever.
The enemy who killed his son is probably by his side all the time, and the relationship between the two is extremely deep.
The truth that I have been searching for all this time is revealed, but it is not the truth that I want.
Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh. At this moment, he really felt old.
He stood up and put the family photo frame back in its place, returned to the sofa, shook out the ashes, and looked up at the dark sky outside.
At some point, it started to snow lightly outside.
The cold north wind carried fine snow particles into the house, but Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea of closing the door and just stared outside quietly.
It should be arriving soon.
Is there any misunderstanding in this? Is it a plan by Abe Qingming to sow discord between me and Tunan...
The closer the time came, the more Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts began to swirl. He thought of countless possibilities in an instant, trying to deceive himself.
If it is really Tunan, does that mean that he has been deceiving himself before, and everything he has done is false.
Why did he do this?
Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed out a puff of smoke, and the thick smoke obscured his eyes and hindered his vision.
Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of a possible motive.
Kill Shinnosuke, kill Asuma, kill Orochimaru.
Could it be that Tunan has been plotting the position of Hokage for the sake of the Uchiha clan.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes burst with murderous intent.
"Click!"
The cigarette rod that had been with him for many years was instantly broken by a huge force.
"Wow~wow~"
Suddenly, a baby's cry came from outside, interrupting Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts.
Outside the open courtyard door, Uchiha Tunan hurried in with his head lowered against the wind and snow.
As Uchiha Tunan got closer and closer to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the baby's cries became louder and louder.
Just like that, Uchiha Tunan ran into the house and closed the door with one hand free.
"Huh~ Teacher, you don't have to wait for me with the door open. It's so cold outside."
Uchiha Tunan said in a slightly reproachful tone, while unbuttoning his windbreaker, revealing the crying baby inside.
"Good boy, little Yanbu. We're at grandpa's house. It's not cold anymore."
While coaxing Xiao Yanbu, Uchiha Tunan came to sit down next to Sarutobi Hiruzen and picked up the baby.
When Xiao Yanbu saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he seemed to be afraid of life, so he immediately stopped crying and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with his dark eyes.
There was still some timidity on that chubby face.
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to question Uchiha Tunan the moment he came in.
But the appearance of Xiaoyan divination disrupted his plan.
You can't yell in front of the baby.
Uchiha Tunan glanced at the empty dining table, frowned and said:
"There was a delay in changing Yan Bu's diaper just now. I'm going to cook now. Teacher, please help me hug Yan Bu first."
After saying that, Uchiha Tunan directly stuffed Xiaoyanbu into Sarutobi Hiruzen's arms and hurried into the kitchen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen needed to free his hands to hold Xiao Yanbu, and the broken cigarette rod in his hand also fell to the ground.
Xiao Yanbu's eyes widened, and he looked curiously at Sarutobi Hiruzen's frost-like expression.
Perhaps he felt that the old man in front of him was a bit scary, so he immediately opened his mouth and cried "Wow".
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face twitched, but he still shook subconsciously and gave a hard coaxing sound.
"Don't cry."
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a state of confusion. He was neither losing his temper nor pretending to be kind.
The sound of a range hood sounded in the kitchen, and Uchiha Tunan closed the kitchen door to prevent the fumes from pouring into the living room.
At the same time, Uchiha Tunan, who had not yet understood the situation, started a verbal offensive to delay time.
"Teacher, this is probably my first time seeing you."
"This little guy is timid. It's normal to be afraid of strangers. After a while, he will stop crying after he gets familiar with you."
"Yan Bu, this kid's life experience is quite pitiful. His family doesn't want him anymore."
"I can only ask Kakashi to write the divination into the Hatake family tree, so that he can also have a surname."
“When he grows up, I will be his father.
You are my teacher, I can call you grandpa. "
"teacher?"
"teacher?"
Uchiha Tunan's voice seemed very small against the backdrop of the range hood.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen heard it clearly, but he just didn't respond.
He just sat on the sofa holding Xiao Yanbu without saying a word.
The kitchen door was pushed open a crack, and Uchiha Tunan stretched out his head, sniffed and said:
"Don't smoke. You can't smell smoke."
After saying that, Uchiha Tunan retracted his head again and closed the kitchen door.
