49. Naruto is missing
Konoha Village, the Hokage's mansion.
Outside the door, the sound of hurried footsteps woke up the sleeping three generations of Hokage apes.
At this time, what will happen to make people so panicked?
He got up slowly, calmly asked, "Who is it?" ”
The attendant reported, "My lord, it's the Shadow Ninja who is responsible for protecting Naruto Uzumaki. ”
"What?"
Although Ape Fei Ri Slash was not shocked, there was a rare look of panic on the old face.
Naruto Uzumaki is a nine-tailed human pillar force, and there are demon fox nine-tails sealed by four generations of Hokage in his body.
If the seal is broken, the tragedy of 12 years ago is about to be repeated.
Recently, I have been restless, only thinking that something will happen, but I didn't think that it should be on him.
Ape Fei Ri sat up slowly, picked up the cigarette pouch and put it in his mouth, and ordered the attendant in a deep voice: "Let people come in and report." ”
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
The attendant hurried away, and a moment later a slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded outside the extremely quiet door:
"Hokage-sama, this evening, the Nine-Tails Pillar Force Uzumaki Naruto had a brief contact with Nazuki Nazuki.
Subsequently, Naruto Uzumaki followed Mizuki away.
About half an hour later, the subordinates and others found that Naruto Uzumaki had not returned home, and after another half an hour of searching, it was confirmed that Naruto Uzumaki was missing.
The preliminary inference of the subordinates may be related to the "Book of Seals" that Nakashinobu Mizuki recently investigated. ”
"Humph!"
Ape Feiri snorted coldly, his voice showing the anger in his heart.
The dark ninja with a hoarse voice outside the door hurriedly admitted his mistake and begged for mercy: "Hokage-sama, my subordinates are derelict in their duties, please surrender your lordship!" ”
"Dereliction of duty first, gentleness and infraction last, should have been punished heavily, read that you have worked hard for twelve years, this time it is the first offense, the crime is reduced by three degrees, each received ten lashes, and the punishment was carried out after finding Naruto Uzumaki.
If you do it again next time, you will definitely not be spared! ”
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
"Immediately activate the upper ninja, all ninjas after that, be sure to find that Uzumaki Naruto before something happens."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
The dark ninja outside the door hesitated slightly, and cautiously reported: "Hokage-sama, this matter may also have something to do with the little young master. ”
"Konohamaru?"
Ape Feiri was surprised, raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Say, what does it have to do with Konoha Maru?" ”
"According to the observation of his subordinates, before Mizuki came into contact with Naruto Uzumaki, the young master had a brief conversation with Naruto Uzumaki.
And after that conversation, Naruto Uzumaki's attitude towards Mizuki changed quite significantly.
Judging from his subordinates, this conversation is most likely an important reason for Naruto Uzumaki's disappearance. ”
"Huh?"
The look of surprise on Ape Feiri's face was even worse, and he asked, "Do you know the content of the conversation?" ”
"I don't know, the conversation between the two is very quiet, and the little young master is hiding behind Naruto Uzumaki to speak, and his subordinates can't listen to it, and they can't know it by lip reading."
"How could there be such a thing?"
At this time, the ape flew to the sun, and his face was no longer surprised, but surprised.
He lowered his voice and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect to just learn from Ebisu that Konohamaru can create ninjutsu on his own,
From here, I learned that Konohamaru was suspected of fanning Naruto Uzumaki.
Today's events are very strange. ”
After a moment of contemplation, Sarutobi sent the Shadow Ninja away to find Naruto Uzumaki, and summoned the attendants over.
"When did Konohamaru go out, when did he come back, and what are you doing now?"
The attendant reported in detail: "The little master went out at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, arrived home at about 7 o'clock in the evening, went to bed early after dinner, and is still asleep. ”
"It's rare to be honest."
Sarutobi rubbed his temples, his habitual reaction every time he mentioned Konohamaru.
When it comes to talent, his eldest grandson, Konohamaru, can't compare to many of his peers, especially when it comes to ninjutsu cultivation.
But when it comes to being naughty, that kid is talented enough to throw off all his peers a few streets, and even Naruto Uzumaki, another famous mischievous ghost in Konoha Village, can't compare.
"Speaking ......"
Ape Fei Ri took a deep breath of the cigarette pouch, slowly exhaled bursts of green smoke, and said in a trance: "Speaking of which, that kid from Konohamaru hasn't attacked me for a while, right?" Normally, he would do such stupid things ten or twenty times a day. ”
"I haven't done it since this afternoon."
The attendant replied softly, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, said in a hurried voice, "That's right, Hokage-sama."
The little young master's behavior after waking up from a nap was a little abnormal......"
Ape Feiri's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Say it! ”
"The dark ninja who is responsible for protecting the little master reported when he handed over his shift, saying that the little master woke up from a nap and screamed, saying something to die or live, and then sat by the pond and stared at the water in a daze for more than ten minutes.
However, he quickly returned to normal, and did not do anything else in a similar anomaly.
The subordinates thought that the young master had a nightmare at that time, so they did not report it to Hokage-sama.
Now that I think about it, the changes in the little young master should have started from that moment. ”
"Really?"
Ape Fei Ri replied lightly and said no more.
…………
"yes, I don't think so."
In the quiet forest, even the usual insect chirping has disappeared without a trace.
In such a situation, the slightly immature whisper outside the door was particularly loud.
"Who is it? Who's out there! ”
Mizuki in the wooden house was taken aback, and hurriedly hid behind Naruto, drawing the shuriken behind his back and pressing it against the back of Naruto's neck.
"Mizuki-sensei, don't be so nervous."
As the words fell, the wooden door was pushed open, and a small figure appeared in front of Mizuki's eyes.
"Wood, Konohamamaru?!"
Mizuki was shocked, and his expression was more ridiculous than seeing a ghost.
The eldest grandson of the three generations of Hokage, the most powerful boy in the entire Konoha Village, how could he not recognize him.
If it weren't for the fact that he was too young to successfully complete a task like stealing the Book of Seals, Mizuki even thought that this kid was his most suitable target.
"It's me, good evening, Mizuki-sensei."
Konohamaru Shi Shiran walked into the wooden house and greeted Mizuki comfortably, unaware that he had stepped into a murder trap.
"Oh, Konohamaru, why did you come here, run, it's dangerous ...... here"
Halfway through the shout, Naruto Uzumaki's voice came to an abrupt halt.
But he was slashed by Mizuki behind him on the back of his neck and fainted.
"Little Boy...... Hmm, little ghost, what are you doing here, you want to die, don't you? ”
Mizuki carried the shuriken and walked towards Konohamaru with his hands behind his back and a relaxed face.
An 8-year-old kid who hasn't even entered a ninja school can have any ability.
If you don't plan to judge Konoha, you may still be treated as the young master of the Sarufei family.
Now that Lao Tzu has done the kidnapping of Naruto Uzumaki, it would have been a capital crime to be caught, plus you don't have many lives, can the old man kill Lao Tzu twice?
"Die, little ghost!"
Mizuki wielded his shuriken and slashed squarely at the top of Konohamaru's head.
