Time passed in a moment of silence.
I do not know how long it has been,
I don’t know if [Xiang] ever had a trace of happiness in his heart.
Fortunately, the mask on his face concealed his truest emotions.
In short,
The rebuke halfway through the sentence became a dead end, and there was no more follow-up.
revenge?
Even if the lives of all ANBU ninjas were blocked, that 'monster' and 'demon' might not be able to be buried.
You must know that in the past, the entire root was mobilized, and Lord Danzo even gave up his identity to conduct a sneak attack in person, but they were not able to completely leave the kind-hearted Uchiha Shisui behind.
What's more, what about the lunatic Uchiha Ara we have to face now?
Although I really don’t want to admit it, even though I really don’t want to admit defeat.
But the fact is,
Uchiha Ara, who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, is no longer on the same level as them.
Even if they are in ANBU, even if they are the elite of the elite.
But the power he possesses is still as weak as an ant in front of the manifested giant.
And the most ridiculous thing is that the people who molded it and forced it to grow to this point seem to be themselves.
At this moment, the only one who can really contain that madman is the Sandaime Hokage.
But even that adult chose to compromise tonight.
Use the life of [Rock Bird] and [Owl] as apology, in order to appease the anger in that person's heart and compromise!
When his thoughts and actions reached this point, [Xiang] raised his eyes and stared at his former companion. [Xiang], who was the person in charge of the ANBU, no longer knew what to say.
The remaining light from the corner of his eyes slightly glanced at the newcomers who were also in the preparation room.
Although everyone is still wearing their own masks,
However, through the windows of those souls, and through their equally overwhelmed attitudes, [Xiang] knew that the impact of tonight's change was not just on [Li] and [Tong Yue]. For the two comrades who were in the same team as the deceased, their beliefs towards other tribesmen were more or less shaken.
【Monitoring the Yondaime's son,】
[Surveillance on ancient families who belong to the same ninja village. 】
Such a task,
For a young ninja who wants to achieve something and dedicate himself to Konoha, it is too ridiculous and meaningless.
Of course, the most important point is the Sandaime-sama's attitude towards ANBU members.
"I would rather protect the 'little Kyuubi' that everyone scolds, I would rather be angry and compromise for my grandson, than go to death for the ANBU, for the two fearless people, without even leaving any bones, [Iwajak] and [Owl] said Any sentence! !
Instead, they just let it go and gave the two elites who had silently guarded Konoha for many years the title of expert in their field.
Such an attitude, such an approach,
Who should they take revenge on?
If we hadn't gone to great lengths to create this farce tonight,
If he hadn't pushed the Uchiha clan into a blind corner,
Will all of this happen?
[Sandaime-sama, what are you thinking about? 】
【Anbu, I can’t stand this kind of torture,】
[Konoha cannot afford such a loss! 】
Internal discord,
The already rising Uchiha Ara was placed on the opposite side,
Such an environment, such a signal,
I'm afraid that the powerful neighbors around me will find an opportunity to take advantage of it!
[You should see these things more clearly than me! 】
[Sandaime, Hokage-sama! ! 】
As his thoughts expanded, [Xiang] wailed in his heart.
He really couldn't imagine it,
If one day, the Uchiha clan led by Ara, like their fathers, could no longer bear the oppression from Konoha and chose to rebel.
Faced with such an evil god who left the Fourth Raikage and the Fourth Mizukage helpless for a moment, faced with such a group of clan members who entrusted their lives to the head of their clan and even disrespected the Hokage for the sake of the former, at that time What kind of horror will Konoha suffer?
If the surrounding neighboring forces, Sunagakure Village, Iwagakure Village, and Akatsuki Organization, see such an opportunity.
Will the Uchiha then be willing to fight side by side with Konoha, and will they still be willing to protect their homeland that has pushed them to the edge?
[Xiang] I don’t know,
I don’t dare to continue thinking about it.
Because just imagining such a future made his body and bones tremble and his mind wander.
However, he knew one thing clearly:
The Konoha portal that was split twice was the clearest and most direct signal, a signal full of real dissatisfaction!
After all, probably no one wants to see their homeland shut them out when they return home.
No one would destroy the gate of his homeland without any reason, let outsiders disappear, and let outsiders laugh, right?
There is only one reason for doing this,
fed up!
What's more, looking back on history,
Konoha was originally created by the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan!
At the moment,
The little princess of the Senju clan left the village with deep disappointment and pain;
Now,
The Uchiha clan, which has been targeted all the way and branded evil, has no retreat...
For a moment, [Xiang] felt uncomfortable physically and mentally, as if a pair of invisible hands were tightly pinching his neck and suppressing his heart.
It became extremely difficult to breathe and pant.
Think about it this way,
It seems that it is not that group that is wrong,
Rather, he is the one who orders that clan what to do and forces that clan to keep retreating.
However, Uchiha Fugaku's tolerance, compromise, and suppression of the clan in the past did not make others truly feel this.
But the current leader of the Huang clan has given up all patience and puts his own people first!
so,
That's why under this terrifying pressure and the coercion of this terrifying power, he would reflect and search for the root cause of the problem.
"I will report your wishes to the Sandaime-sama."
After a long silence, [Elephant] finally spoke.
But this time, the sharpness and coldness in his eyes when he looked at the two people in front of him had gone away, and even his tone of voice became a little gentler.
After receiving such an answer and feeling the sudden change of attitude of the former commander, [Tong Yue] and [Li], who made the decision to withdraw from the army, couldn't help but feel relieved.
The eyes filled with dissatisfaction also contained a touch of complex emotions, including relief, gratitude, reluctance, and guilt.
Because no matter what the reason was that led them to make such a decision,
But in the final analysis,
This is retreat, this is escape, this is betrayal of the oath sworn when entering ANBU.
"Thank you for causing trouble, Captain [Elephant]."
[Tong Yue]'s voice gradually softened, and he blurted out a hint of gratitude along with his thanks.
"But until I tell the Sandaime-sama to reset your identity and mission, you will stay here honestly."
"I think you haven't forgotten the ANBU rules."
[Xiang] The chaotic mood was quickly calmed down,
The slightly softer voice was also replaced by indifference.
He is the head of ANBU;
After all, he abandoned his inappropriate thoughts and thoughts and chose to believe that Hokage-sama must have his own profound meaning in doing so.
It's just that he and the other ANBU ninjas are too short-sighted and haven't been able to really see that person's intention.
After all, in the final analysis,
The current Sandaime-sama is known as the most powerful fire being in history, and Konoha is still dyed with raging fire even under the encirclement of the four major forces of [Sand Gakure], [Iwagakure], [Kogakure], and [Kirigakure]. The Will of Fire is still the powerful leader at the top of the Foot Ninja Village!
Trust, support, obey orders,
This is what he wants to do.
As for people with different wills, they can no longer be called companions.
"Since you have decided to leave, take off your equipment and return your code name and mask."
[Xiang]'s will became stronger and stronger, and his words became cold again.
"yes,"
"We understand,"
"I will definitely not cause any more trouble to the captain."
[Tong Yue] answered on behalf of [Li], a real sense of melancholy and loneliness could be discerned in his voice.
The arm hanging down from the leg was slowly raised at this moment, and the fingers pinching the edge of the mask paused for a long time before finally peeling off the highly symbolic mask.
"Watch them."
After another glance at the two familiar yet unfamiliar faces in front of him, [Elephant] gave the order and passed through the door of the ANBU lounge.
And at the same time,
In the brightly lit Hokage's office.
"It's really lively tonight. Isn't this what you said is [Shadow]'s method?"
The depressing atmosphere was broken by a playful rhetorical question.
No need to think about it, this is the voice of Danzo Shimura. He will never miss any opportunity to attack his old friend!
Of course, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
The loss of two ANBU ninjas, no matter which ninja village they were placed in, was a very painful thing.
After all, those are the elites selected from a hundred!
They are 'soldiers' who have been trained by the village after spending too much effort and can die for the sake of righteousness and the village.
However, now, two people were lost directly because of a ridiculous farce, and they were also labeled as craftsmen. It was just a matter of confusing ordinary Konoha ninjas.
However, for the old fox Shimura Danzo, it was impossible to hide it!
Because his roots are also monitoring every move of Konoha.
He could clearly see the farce tonight.
Hearing this,
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not respond.
At this moment, the old man's complexion was very poor. The accumulated wrinkles, gray hair and traces of his own years made him look a bit old.
but,
This is definitely not because of those few sarcastic words and those few mocking words from Shimura Danzo.
But I actually feel pain and powerlessness due to what happened tonight.
Broken portals can be rebuilt,
Lost face can be regained,
But,
How can the ANBU elites who are unwilling to die be revived?
How to recover the lost heart's desire?
He felt it,
I felt the confusion and sadness among those ANBU elites who were supposed to support me unconditionally, trust me, and follow their will when they retreated and dispersed.
Such a situation has never occurred before! !
And in contrast to such low mood and low morale,
It was the group of boys and girls following Uchiha Ara.
The scarlet three magatama blooming in the faint night, the powerful blood inheritance limit that symbolizes the infinite future, the raging will that intertwines fanaticism, trust, and faith!
Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer dared to think about how far that clan would climb in the bottomless abyss if it were another five years! !
but,
still have a chance,
There is still a chance for everything,
if only,
Erase him!
Everything will return to normal, and the will and faith that the clan has just condensed will also completely dissipate! !
"You are too kind after all Hiruzen."
"You should follow my advice and use that little guy as a threat to his tribe when he no longer tolerates the village!"
The one-eyed old man on crutches tapped the ground lightly, his voice even more powerful, and the dull impact sound vented his dissatisfaction.
"no!"
However, such advice was easily blurted out, but it was met with a fierce and direct refutation by Sarutobi Hiruzen!
This rebuttal also made Danzo Shimura's face slightly stunned.
It seemed that it had been a long time since he had seen this old fox burst into such turbulent emotions.
Such a crazy look is becoming less and less like Hokage.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not make any restraint or other necessary explanation for his gaffe or the astonishment on the face of the man in his field of vision. Instead, he issued the order word by word:
"No one can attack the Uchiha clan without my order."
"including you!"
"understand?"
After hearing such words, the expression on Shimura Danzo's face became dark and cold.
Ah,
I remembered,
He remembered,
Why did the old man in front of me suddenly seem to be a completely different person, suddenly bursting into such huge mood swings?
Because his precious grandson was also used as a bargaining chip for threats in public and witnessed by countless ninjas!
【Ah,】
[Rotten old thing, selfish old guy. 】
[For the prosperity of Konoha, for the long-term peace and stability of Konoha, are you even unwilling to give up a naughty little guy? 】
[In this case, how can you sacrifice the lives of other people at will? 】
"If you are worried about Konohamaru's safety."
"If you're so old, you can give it to the roots. I will definitely protect it."
Danzo Shimura replied gloomily to his old rival who was looking at him impatiently.
Sure enough, after hearing such words, the kindness on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was completely destroyed.
"Konohamaru, I will settle down naturally."
"But before that, I hope you can understand one thing."
"I am the Hokage of this village. Just follow my orders."
Confrontation without concealment,
This seems to be the first time.
"snort."
Although his chest was almost burned out by the unwilling fire, Danzo Shimura was still defeated.
The name of Hokage, coupled with the fact that he had sent people to assassinate the opponent, were enough to make him, whose wings were not full enough, fall into the abyss of difficulty.
Forbearance,
And at the moment when the snipe and the clam are fighting, waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to these two imaginary enemies is what he should consider now.
only,
Just when Shimura Danzo was about to leave with a cold snort, a falcon used for communication suddenly appeared outside the window.
The sound of gently tapping on the window made him move away faster, and his single pupil subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.
But with just one glance, his whole body seemed to be electrocuted, and he was stagnant for a moment.
Because he is really familiar with the symbol attached to the falcon's leg ring!
No wonder, this old guy said he wanted to fulfill his unfinished plan,
No wonder, he can tell that this is a method unique to [Shadow]!
"It turns out to be like this,"
"You've already contacted that person!"
"Hiruzhan, you really impressed me."
"But, what is the price you pay this time?"
"An Xin, you don't have to look at me like this. You know, I won't tell anyone. After all, that little lunatic is our common enemy."
"Sa, just let me wait for your good news."
"Hahaha."
After saying that, Shimura Danzo ignored his gloomy old friend and walked out with a sarcastic smile on his face.
