In the past few days, everyone in Konoha has learned a shocking news: the genius of the Uchiha family, the thirteen-year-old captain of the dark part, Uchiha Itachi, actually slaughtered the entire clan and fled, and was designated by Konoha as a super S-level traitor.

And for Hinata, Karen and others, this shocking news also contains another cruel reality: Tamu is missing, and before he disappeared, the last person he waited for was the super S-level traitor Uchiha Itachi who killed the entire clan!

Unlike the last time Tam disappeared, this time no one had the urge to discuss the topic, or to mention the terrifying possibility.

On a ninja school morning a few days after the incident, Naruto, Sakura-chan, and Ino all stared in the direction of the classroom door, expecting to see a familiar fat toad carrying a little girl on its head on the new day.

But the reality is often cruel, and what appears from the door of the classroom is still just Hinata and Karin.

Both girls drooped their heads, not at all as energetic as before, and the brilliance in their eyes dimmed a lot.

"Boss Tam, don't you have any news yet?" Even though he already knew the result, Naruto couldn't help but want to confirm it.

"No," Hinata sat down in her seat, as if she had lost all her strength, leaning back on the back of her chair to support her body, and shook her head weakly at Naruto.

"I didn't expect..."Even after several days, Ino still couldn't accept this fact, "It's obviously such a gentle big brother Itachi... How would such a thing be done! ”

"Don't call him Weasel!" Xiang Yan slammed on the table, venting the chaotic thoughts in her heart.

Several people stopped talking, in fact, such a thing is difficult for them to accept.

These days' cultivation, Itachi is also a frequent visitor, and he is really like a brother next door, and he has a good relationship with them.

But it was such a person who pointed the butcher's knife at his own people, and the whereabouts of Tamu, whom they cherished even more, were unknown.

It's weird, and it's been going on for days.

Akamaru on the head of the tooth next to him was infected by such an atmosphere, and he didn't dare to bark in joy for a few days, but just shrunk into a ball and hid on the head of the tooth.

"Anyway, Tamu's business..."Shikamaru's common sense science appeared very inopportunely, "In the ninja world, a ninja who has been missing for three days on a mission and has no news... It's almost a death. ”

Shikamaru's words immediately caused several people to stare angrily, and even Hinata, who had a gentle personality, stared at him with big white eyes.

"Pineapple head, what do you say! Boss Tam won't die! Naruto sprang up and grabbed Shikamaru by the collar.

Hinata also said a little angrily: "Tam, he didn't die!" My psychic contract with him still exists, but he hasn't responded to my psychic call..."

"He must be fighting somewhere now, it's just inconvenient to come back!"

The girl's eyes gradually condensed with determination, and she believed that as long as Tamu was alive, he would definitely appear in front of her again one day.

Several friends nodded in unison and stood with Hinata.

Shikamaru lightly straightened the collar that had been messed up by Naruto, and said slowly, "Isn't everyone's mood much better now?" ”

"Since you can be sure that Tamu is not dead, don't live so decadently every day, Tamu doesn't want to see you like this!" The most decadent guy in the whole grade, who poured chicken soup for the soul on a few people in a serious manner.

The expressions of several people softened, and the hot-blooded Naruto was even more aroused, and made his own declaration: "Yes! Even if Boss Tamu doesn't come back for a while, I'll try to get stronger! Sooner or later, I'll find him! ”

Hinata smiled heartily, secretly making a similar determination in her heart.

"Cut... It turns out that Shikamaru would say something like that. "Ino just had a headache for saying such annoying things in his novel, but now he understands Shikamaru's intentions.

The whole classroom is gradually filled with the colors of vitality and hope.

However, at this moment... Once again, the atmosphere froze.

At the door of the classroom, a dark-haired teenager came in, with a gloomy and painful face, it was Sasuke.

After experiencing blood and betrayal that night, Sasuke hadn't come to class for a few days, and even the nymphomaniac Ino was shy about mentioning Sasuke's name.

"What the hell happened that night!" Seeing Sasuke, Xiang Li's emotions exploded all of a sudden, "Tamta, I'm obviously waiting for Itachi with you!" ”

"Why are you still standing here!"

Sasuke's eyes were full of pain that could not be erased, and in the face of Kari's rude questioning, he didn't mean to refute at all, just clenched his fists tightly, and his bones turned white.

After a long silence, Sasuke just spat out word by word in a hoarse voice: "I must, I must—kill that man!" ”

"I ask you, where the hell is Tam ? Xiang Lian relentlessly, asking a question that could not be answered at all.

"Enough!" A thin but resolute figure appeared in front of Sasuke, blocking Kario's questioning, it was Naruto.

"Sasuke, he's our friend!" Naruto looked at Kaori with his blue eyes, and at everyone present, "He has a lot more pain than we do!" ”

Xiang Lian stopped talking, she knew that she was just making trouble.

After a long time, she said softly, "I'm sorry..."

Naruto tried his best to show his trademark smile, took Sasuke's still tightly clasped hand, and said, "Sasuke, we're still here!" ”

Sasuke looked at this friend he had only made for a few months, and the thick darkness in his heart unconsciously tore open a hole and shot into a ray of light.

"Thank you," Sasuke said in an undetectable voice.

Standing at the door of the classroom, Iruka, who didn't know how long he had been watching, smiled with satisfaction: "Naruto... What a sunny child. ”

............................................

In the Hokage's office, there are only two figures at the moment.

The face of the third generation was gloomy like water, and he said in an extremely serious tone to his old classmate in front of him: "You still attacked Tamu after all!" ”

Tuan Zang didn't react, just said lightly: "Monkey, are you still so naïve?" Such a strange power, of course, must be firmly held in your hands! ”

"Attacking your fellow people in the village is a completely dark act!" The three generations were very angry, "Danzang, I officially order you to disband the roots!" ”

Danzang smiled mockingly: "No problem, sign the order." ”

"But you should also know that the Root Man never existed because of a document!"

"As long as I'm still here, the roots won't really dissolve, and behind the light of Konoha there will always be the shadow of the roots."

"As for Tam, he has now become one of the thick roots that protect Konoha. Even you can't stop it. ”

Miyo angrily threw the order document for the disbandment of the root onto Danzo, but finally sat back in his chair with a dejected face.

He knew that what Tuan Zang said was right, the roots that had been formed by the Iron and Blood Management and the Control of the Spell Seal had completely become a behemoth outside the independent Konoha system.

"Let's go... Don't overdo it! The third generation said gloomily.
