Chapter 318: Differences of Opinion
In the face of this half-coquettish and half-threatening offensive that even Naruto's body could not parry. As a shadow clone, "Naruto", who has the same thinking logic as the main body, naturally fell for it without exception. And just as the small fan thought, in the well-behaved cooperation of "Naruto", who knew everything and said everything, it was effortless to obtain the information that the three generations of Hokage and others were most concerned about at the moment.
It is precisely because of this that after this, there was a cheer that made the three generations of Hokage and others look at each other and secretly doubt their lives.
"Whew...... Never mind...... Although...... I don't understand how this kid did it...... But now, it doesn't seem like the time to dwell on this, right? ”
After being silent for a long time, Fang finally picked up the complicated mood of Hizu, and raised his hand comfortingly, and patted Fuyue's shoulder, who didn't know whether he should cry or laugh because of the current situation, and his face was more complicated than Hizo's. While tilting his head slightly, he gently called back to reality the consciousness of the three generations of Hokage, who was still in a trance, in the way of a loud suggestion.
"What do you say? Three generations of Hokage-sama. ”
"Indeed...... Ahem...... Indeed, the first priority is to determine the location of Naruto's main body and what exactly happened. ”
Consciousness gradually regained consciousness, and as a result, he became aware of the gaffe he was exhibiting. Let the three generations of Hokage cough continuously, hiding the embarrassed look on his face. While raising his eyebrows slightly, he looked sideways at the small group fan, and continued softly while keeping his face as kind and friendly as possible for fear of scaring the small group fan again.
"So...... What did you ask, little one? Can you tell us? ”
"Hehe, of course it's fine!"
Maybe it's because it's rare to see Naruto like he is now, because he is too weak-hearted, resulting in an embarrassed appearance that answers all questions. made the small group fan, which was "bullied" by Naruto on weekdays, suddenly raised his eyebrows. So much so that when facing the three generations of Hokage, he was no longer as restrained and nervous as before. Instead, he stretched out a pair of fleshy short hands, and while constantly gesturing in front of him, he relayed the information obtained from "Naruto" - including the reason why Naruto left the village again, the "unexpected" reunion of Konoha Sanshinobi, and the current location of Naruto, who everyone was most concerned about at the moment, to the three generations of Hokage and others.
"First of all, the reason why Naruto left the village again was to ......"
It's a pity that in addition to telling and conveying triumphantly, Sasuke is just a child after all, so his scheming is too immature and young. The small fan with his back to Naruto talking eloquently didn't notice it......
"Naruto", who had been depressed and deflated before, heard Xiao Tuanfan's words relayed without the slightest suspicion, but in this silence, a smile with a sense of luck crossed his eyes.
Of course, it's not that "Naruto" is under the continuous questioning of the small group fan, and there is anything wrong with the answer given to the small group fan - in fact, in the face of the small group fan's offensive method of crying as a threat, "Naruto" racked his brains to appease him, how could he add fuel to the fire and try to deceive this little guy to death?
It's just like when he answered Fugaku's question before, he was so concise and clear that many seemingly insignificant details were hidden without anyone noticing...... Although "Naruto" seemed a lot happier when answering the question of the small fan, the content of the answer was also as detailed as possible. But at one point, it was quietly lying – or rather, concealing.
That's the reason why the main body only stayed for one night, and then left the village again without stopping. From trying to get ahead of Orochimaru, persuading Yakushidou to return to the village, and then completely changing it to the main reason for the friendly partner in advance. In order to care about the happiness of Jiraiya in his later years, who has been single for many years, he plans to do his best to match this "big fool" with a matchmaker, so that Jilai can also have a secondary reason for his own family. In order to avoid any additional influences and changes on the development of the main plot after the three generations of Hokage know the truth about Yakushidou.
Well, in other words...... In a sense, "Naruto" did not deceive the small group in the slightest...... That is to say, the truth of this ten points is only eight or nine points, and one point is retained.
But as "Naruto" had thought, this undisguised truth was sometimes more deceptive and misleading than an elaborate lie......
No, no, the three generations of Hokage and the others, who originally had complicated faces, listened carefully to the information obtained by the small group fan. Not only did the brows completely stretch, but it was also due to the fact that the information provided by "Naruto" was interlocking and difficult to fake, and there was no need to worry about the authenticity of the information. So that the three generations of Hokage and the others took advantage of this free time to start thinking seriously about countermeasures without distraction.
"Well, I see...... I just want to go out of the village to find Zilaiye, help the stinky boy collect his heart, and find a daughter-in-law to come back. But I didn't expect that as soon as I found Jiraiya, I ran into Tsunade and Orochimaru one after another...... In this way, it can explain why Naruto's previous actions suddenly became so abnormal......"
muttered to himself, it was because of the mentor of the Konoha Sannin, so that the three generations of Hokage knew the characters of the three disciples who had been away from the village for a long time for completely different reasons. Based on this, it was judged that most of the information that "Naruto" said was true. So much so that the body of "Naruto" is very likely to be as he himself said, when he really left the village for the second time, he bumped into Orochimaru, who had already become a notorious S-class traitor at this moment.
Of course, even so, after hearing that Naruto had barely done any preparation for intelligence gathering, and was only in the process of tracking Jiraiya's whereabouts, he "naturally" met the other two of the three shinobi in Konoha. So that between each other, even if it is self-reliant, they are persevering and trying to find it, and they rarely meet each other all year round. It was in such a simple way, after the fact that they unexpectedly reunited together. While making the three generations of Hokage inevitably feel a little unreal, he also secretly sighed that Naruto, who never played according to the routine, was really the No. 1 ninja in the Konoha Ninja Village.
"Phew, I finally know what happened to Naruto's child...... Unexpectedly, Naruto didn't lie this time, and he really met Orochimaru...... Tsk, this kid is really uneasy enough! ”
At the same time, like the three generations of Hokage, Fugaku, who was always worried about the current situation of Naruto's body, after listening to his youngest son's relay. Although his brows were much softened, his eyes were still full of worry and uneasiness. So much so that after a brief pause in his words, he turned around and strode in the direction of the exit of the secret room, preparing to leave.
After all, as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, the most powerful family in today's Konoha Ninja Village. Fugaku, who had been baptized and tempered by war, naturally it was not difficult to see that even if he already knew the location of Naruto's main body, if he wanted to provide assistance, it would still take a fatal problem for a long time. So much so that he didn't know anything about the current status of Naruto's body, whether he had successfully escaped from danger, or whether he was still fighting to the death with Orochimaru, and he was stimulated by the growing sorrow. Fu Yue, who was so anxious, naturally didn't dare to be here anymore and delay even a second. And then he planned to leave and return directly to the territory of the Uchiha clan. Count the elite ninjas left behind in the clan and form a rescue team. In order to quickly rush to reinforcements in the direction of Naruto's main body in the first time.
"Wait a minute, Fugaku dude......"
However, before Fuyue, who had taken a step forward, walked a few steps. Hizo, who was standing on the side, stretched out his hand directly, and quickly intercepted Fuyue's figure. Immediately, he looked directly at Fuyue, who was faintly worried because of excessive worry, like a furious lion about to go berserk, exuding a gloomy and dangerous aura. On the one hand, he was secretly taken aback when he saw Tomiya, who was usually calm and serious, and he was in such a hurry to become such a gaffe, and wondered how important Naruto was in Fugaku's heart. He then took a deep breath and continued to ask word by word while keeping his tone as calm as usual.
"Are you going to ...... Now go back and gather men to reinforce Naruto, right? ”
"It's not waste...... Is it obvious? ”
was so anxious that when Fu Yue faced the abrupt obstruction of the Japanese foot, he almost burst out directly. and then tried to suppress and endure, and changed the words that came to his lips. While slapping the arm of the foot that was intercepting in front of him, he was going to slap it away lightly. He rolled his eyes and replied angrily.
"Now that you know everything, what are you holding me back? The top priority now is to find a way to save Naruto as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it's too late, it's really too late! ”
"Of course I do...... But it's because you know that you should be calmer! Think about it, Brother Fuyue. The last time we forcibly broke into the root organization and tried to help Naruto. In the end, all that can be done is to help Naruto clean up the mess...... That's when Naruto was in the village and was in trouble! ”
It's a pity that Hizu, who is also uneasy and worried about Naruto's current situation, is driven by only reason, and still has no intention of letting Fugaku leave. So much so that the arm that intercepted Fu Yue's body was like a copper cast in iron, and it didn't move at the same time. While keeping his tone as calm as possible, he patiently persuaded under Fugaku's increasingly dangerous gaze.
"In that case, we didn't have time to help Naruto, let alone Naruto's current location, a short distance from the village, and now? If you insist on going, let alone helping Naruto, I'm afraid that by the time you get there, the matter will have already come to an end, right? ”
"Tsk...... So what? It's better than just waiting here and doing nothing! ”
Rizu's well-founded reassuring words made Fu Yue's figure suddenly stiffen. But it didn't take long for Naruto to have some unexpected emotional impulse, so he completely suppressed his reason again. So much so that Fu Yue frowned, and retorted quite unhappily. As if seeking an alliance and approval, he turned his head slightly to the side and looked at the silent Miyome Hokage.
"You're right? Three generations of Hokage-sama? ”
In Fugaku's mind, the three generations of Hokage, who also had deep guilt and self-blame for what happened to Naruto's family, would definitely agree to his proposal if he felt the same way. So much so that even if the sun is blocked, it can be justifiably ignored. And then continue to return home and move the rescuers for Naruto!
“…… No, Fugaku, Hinazu said that he was right. Even if we rush over now, it's definitely too late. ”
It's a pity that what Fu Yue never expected was ...... It was only after thinking in a deep voice for a moment that the three generations of Hokage, who spoke out again, not only did not stand on the same front as Fugaku expected. On the contrary, he shook his head slightly, echoing and agreeing with the conclusion of the Japanese foot.
"What's more, the infiltration and sabotage incident in Yunyin Village has only passed for a short time. As a result, the village is in a state of turmoil and turmoil. Not to mention how many forces are still in the shadows, and what conspiracy is being planned against the village...... On the cusp of this storm, once you take all the elite ninjas of the Uchiha clan from the village. It's a huge cut for the village's overall defenses, isn't it? ”
Obviously, although Naruto is regarded as his own grandson and doted on by the three generations of Hokage, Naruto, who is now facing Orochimaru's attack and his life and death are unknown, is also in a state of anxiety and nervousness...... But at the end of the day, as the supreme leader who rules the entire Konoha Ninja Village. The three generations of Hokage have to think about and worry about things, and they obviously have a lot more to worry about than Fugaku.
In other words, even at this moment, the level of restlessness in the heart of the three generations of Hokage is not much inferior to Fugaku, and it can even be said that it is even more than that......
But in the name of Hokage, this seemingly radiant responsibility, but in fact full of sacrifice and blood and tears. So that no matter what situation you face, you must force yourself to suppress and restrain your emotional impulses. And then put the interests of the village, the three generations of Hokage who always put it first. But there is no way to make a rash decision just based on personal impulse like Fu Yue!
Because of this, opinions are so diametrically opposed that conflicts inevitably arise. As a result, between the three generations of Hokage and others, a strong smell of gunpowder was faintly derived......
