Chapter 127: The Sharp Teeth That Tear Through the Darkness (1)
Four generations of Hokage's sons?
Demon fox?
Dead?
Hero?
Who are they talking about?
Standing in the middle of the street, Naruto listened to the various words that came from the mouths of people from all directions, and fell into a state of utter confusion.
Originally, he just wanted to come out and enjoy a meal of Ichiraku ramen, but the change in the direction of the wind in the village caught him off guard.
So much so that he subconsciously did not regard himself as the central figure of the storm of public opinion all the way through.
Because it's so weird.
After all, he has always been regarded as a demon fox by the villagers, and he finally took advantage of the opportunity of the Zhongnin exam to change the villagers' opinion of him a little... But now someone suddenly told him that he was the son of the fourth Hokage who died by sealing the demon fox...
Is the idol of one's own father?
Aren't you a demon fox?
But the son of a hero?
What kind of joke is this?
So, what is the meaning of the suffering I have suffered over the years, and the white eyes I have suffered in the past?
What is the purpose of playing the role of a clown in a ninja school and wanting to attract the attention of others?
Countless days and nights of enjoying the solitude of being alone, with puppy eyes, envious of those peers who can rely on their parents......
Isn't this like a real fool?
So, this must be fake!
This is already strange!
How could he be the child of the fourth Hokage?
Naruto's heart was filled with self-denial.
It's that kid... I didn't expect him to be four generations of adults..."
"I used to look at him like that, if the four generations of adults knew about it, they would definitely blame me to death."
"yes, who knew he would..."
The whispers of the villagers still reached Naruto's ears intermittently.
The tone was full of remorse and self-blame, and there was no such bad words as before, and I wanted to give him all the good things.
However, this sounded to Naruto more complicated than the vicious words he had used to speak.
He would rather these people still treat him the same way they treat the demon fox, rather than like this... Wonderful to the point of being unreal.
"It's all the third generation to blame, I heard that he blocked the news that Naruto is the fourth generation of adults and children. If this had been announced earlier...
"No wonder I see how Naruto is so similar to the four generations of adults, even the hair..."
"Do you think so? I think so, too, the two of them are really similar..."
"Not only that, but the untimely death of four generations of adults was also framed by three generations of adults."
"I can't see at all that such a loving three generations of adults actually killed four generations of adults"
"Back then, it seemed that the two Hokage-sama were very compatible, but it turned out that the three generations of adults... Alas...
Such statements continued to instill into Naruto's ears.
Along the way, there were such remarks everywhere, as if this had become the most popular after-dinner conversation in Konoha Village.
As long as you don't discuss this kind of thing, it seems like you'll be isolated.
And although these villagers talked like this, none of them dared to come forward and talk to Naruto.
In his eyes, there is also awe and remorse.
Such a sudden change made Naruto feel very unaccustomed.
Sure enough, I can't accept this fact.
These are all false.
It's not a real thing at all.
He is not the son of the fourth Hokage at all.
His beloved Grandpa Hokage is by no means such a despicable villain!
Someone must be doing something wrong here!
Naruto didn't want to hear such slanderous remarks again, and as if he was running away from it, he rushed back in the direction of the apartment he was in.
However, the words that the villagers had just discussed were like maggots on the tarsal bones, grabbing him, constantly echoing in his mind, repeating them over and over again, forcing him to accept this fact.
Makes Naruto begin to question the real world like never before.
It's a dream.
Hokage Building.
Listening to the ornament, I know that there must have been an accident on the side of Hizai and Lujiu.
Otherwise, it is long overdue to return to preside over the overall situation, and we will not allow the rumors outside to expand to this extent.
"Failed..."
"There's no way around it, it seems that the ninja Darkness is more decisive than we imagined, and acts quickly..."
Use rumors to force the Hokage to negotiate, but the negotiation itself is an elaborate trap, and although the detailed process cannot be deduced by Dingza and Haiichi, Danzo's general strategy is already clear.
But what's the point of understanding now?
By the time they understand this, it already means that the direction of things has been dominated by the roots.
They lost.
Next, it is only necessary to wait for the verdict of fate.
Their life and death are determined by the dark face of the ninja.
Just as they were thinking so, suddenly at the turn of the aisle, a figure walked out and walked towards them.
"Hokage-sama!?"
Seeing the true face of this figure, it was the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash that they had in mind, and Ding Zuo and Hai Yi saw this scene, and their faces were surprised and happy.
However, before they could come forward to greet them, several figures suddenly appeared behind Himicho.
It's a ninja of the roots.
The steps of the two stepped forward suddenly, their expressions changed, and doubts and confusion appeared on their surprised faces.
What's going on?
Why did Hizari, who is the Hokage, come with the ninja of the root?
Things have developed to this point, so that the two of them are confused, and they can't understand.
Not only that, but Kakashi, Shikaku, and the other four accompanying dark shinobi are mysteriously missing.
Where did they go?
How's the negotiation going?
Who won?
What is the purpose of the root following here?
There are too many reasons to fill the brains of Ding Zuo and Haiyi, and they are at a loss.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dingza, Haiyi, I'm fine.
Seeing Dingza and Haiyi, who were waiting for their return here, Hiza smiled peacefully as a sign of comfort.
"Hokage-sama, may I ask what is..."
Ding Za and Hai pointed to each other, and looked at the root ninja behind the Japanese slash vigilantly.
"Oh, this matter, don't worry, I have already negotiated with Tuan Zang, and those farces in the village will soon subside."
Hizai said with a smile.
The smile was very peaceful, and it felt like there was no difference from the usual Hokage-sama.
But... This kind of weird feeling that makes the two of them feel a slight discord can't be dispersed from their hearts.
Hai Yi was even more rude and glanced at Ri Slash's face.
It was found that Sunslash's expression was slightly paler than usual, as if he had gone through a hard battle, exerting his physical strength and excessive chakra, and everything else was normal.
"Haiichi, are you suspecting that my Hokage's identity is fake?"
When Hizai said this, he still had a gentle and loving smile and a peaceful attitude.
"Don't dare."
Hai Yi's body trembled, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at the sun.
He had just used the perceptual secret technique of the mountain clan to carefully perceive the chakra on the body of the Sun Slash, and found that this was indeed the breath of the original chakra of the Sun Slash, and it was definitely not disguised by others with the transformation technique.
In other words, this is indeed the Hokage himself.
But...... What's going on with this unusual sense of disobedience?
What went wrong?
"Excuse me, Hokage-sama, Shikaku and Kakashi..."
Ding asked asked.
However, before he could finish speaking, a root ninja stepped forward and interrupted in a cold voice, "Hokage-sama is not something you have the right to question, hurry up and get out of the way!" “
Ding Za was not afraid at all, just stared coldly at these root ninjas, and a powerful chakra erupted from his body, and he went toe-to-toe with the root ninjas.
"Don't mess around, stop it all, do you still have me as a Hokage in your eyes?"
Ri Slash suddenly looked solemn and asked sharply.
An even more powerful chakra erupted from his body, suppressing Dingza and the root ninja behind him, causing their aura to stagnate for a moment.
Dingza and the root ninja had no choice but to snort coldly at each other and retract the chakra, not daring to be presumptuous here.
"Because of the suddenness of the incident, Shikaku and Kakashi have been sent out by me on a confidential mission. When the task is completed, you will return.
Is that okay? “
Hiza looked at Dingza, and seemed to be dissatisfied with it in his tone because of Dingza's questioning.
"But One"
Dingza, who was worried about the safety of his friend, wanted to ask questions again, but suddenly his sleeve was pulled.
Ding Za turned his head and saw Haiichi who shook his head lightly at himself, so he had to take a deep breath and get out of the way, letting Hiza and the ninja of the root pass.
Hizari's group quickly disappeared through the aisle turn in front of them.
Ding Zuo threw a punch violently, smashing a hole in the wall next to him, and his face turned pale, as a way to vent his inner humiliation.
"Tuanzang that guy one"
Hai Yi could detect the abnormality of the sun slash, and he could naturally feel the abnormal performance of the sun slash compared to the usual.
"It's useless to be angry like this, it seems that Shikaku and Kakashi have been controlled by them... Hokage-sama's state is controlled by illusions. ”
Hai Yi sighed.
"Illusion, you say? How is it possible, Hokage-sama is a doctor of ninjutsu, how can he be controlled by a mere illusion? Not even the illusion of writing wheels is impossible to do! ”
Ding Za lost his voice.
"I'm just skeptical that if it's an illusion, let the people of the Hyuga clan come and see it. That ninja's dark method is really terrifying. ”
A solemn look flashed in his eyes.
"In that case, I'll go to the Hyuga clan, and I'll leave it to you."
"Be careful on the road and bring a few more people over."
Watching him rush out of the Hokage Building's Dingza without stopping, Haiichi could only pray for a smooth trip.
⊙ in a room in the Root Headquarters.
"That's the way it is."
After the root ninja reported the news, he stood aside meticulously, waiting for Danzo to give orders.
"In other words, Akido Dingza and Yamanaka Hai are not going to give up?"
There is no joy or sorrow on Tuanzang's gloomy face, and there is no joy or sorrow to be seen, but the gloomy atmosphere will remind people of bad things.
Yes. ”
The Root Ninja asked tentatively.
"They're loyal to the Ape Fei clan... Ninja Ninja"
Tuan Zang closed his eyes, as if thinking about something, and kept muttering this sentence.
"Danzo-sama, do you need to take them?"
The killing intent in the eyes of the root ninja flashed.
Now that the great cause will be accomplished, anyone who stands in the way must be mercilessly eliminated.
"No, these are all valuable heritage of Konoha, even if they die, let them die on the battlefield. Strictly speaking, they are not enemies. “
With the strength of the martial arts faction alone, it is impossible to completely operate the huge ninja village machine of Konoha.
Although Danzo doesn't like the ninja clan as a group, many times, he has to admit the importance of these ninjas to Konoha.
"But if they're secretly making trouble..."
"Terai, don't just focus on the gains and losses in the present, think about the future."
"The future? Danzo-sama means the country of ghosts in the west..."
The root ninja named Terai seemed to think of something, and his expression froze.
"The more pieces you can play, the better, and it's not time to clean them up. In contrast, this is also where I am more gentle than Chiba Shiraishi, leaving them room to breathe. ”
Tuan Zang opened his eyes, flashed a fierce color, and said meaningfully.
"I see."
Akira Terai came over to himself.
The pressure from the Oni Country is indeed not to be underestimated.
Considering only the general environment of Konoha and uprooting the power of the ninja clan as soon as possible, although it will make Konoha fall into an extremely weak state in the short term, it will be more beneficial to Konoha in the long run.
It's a pity that in this world, there is not only Konoha this ninja village.
The complicated international situation does not allow them to target the ninja forces in this way.
Once you start, Konoha will be in danger of destruction.
Especially in the country of ghosts, they will never let go of this opportunity to fall into the well.
The ninja can restrict, and even next, weaken their voice in the village, and put more power in the hands of the Hokage, but they must not be driven to a dead end.
At least not yet, they need to contribute useful bodies to Konoha.
"Go down, keep an eye on the target, and don't act rashly without my orders. Also, call Kakashi over. ”
"Yes!"
Terai bowed his head slightly, and his figure disappeared from the room.
The candle flame burned silently on the menorah, bringing some light to the dimly lit room.
He sat in the room for about three minutes, until there was a knock on the door, and Danzou said, "Come in." ”
Pushing open the door, Kakashi, dressed in a dark costume, walked in from the outside, then closed the door with his backhand.
"Danzo-sama."
Kakashi bowed his head slightly and saluted respectfully.
"How's it going on over there in the shadows?"
"Most of the personnel have been contained and left for disposal. The rest of the people are still being arrested. ”
Kakashi replied with no emotional fluctuations.
"That's good. Next, you have new tasks. “
"Please ask Lord Danzo to give me orders."
Kakashi maintained a respectful gesture.
"Lead the third and sixth teams to the Ape Flying Clan and monitor their movements."
Tuanzang's voice was cold and hard.
"The Ape Flying Clan?"
"The Hokage, the Shadows, and the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly clans, under my arrangement, are no longer a threat now. The only remaining threat is the Ape Flying Clan. Over the years, they have gained a lot of benefits by relying on the sun, and they will definitely not be willing to be taken away from the position of Hokage by me. “
"Yes.
"In a few days, it will be the day when the old man succeeds the Hokage, and this matter is not allowed to be messed up. Go ahead. “
Kakashi nodded solemnly, turned and walked to the exit, resting his hand on the doorknob as he was about to open the door.
Poof!
The sound of a blade piercing flesh sounded.
Without warning, blood spurted from Kakashi's chest, pouring on the doors and walls like a blood moon.
The candle flame on the candlestick flickered for a moment, and the light seemed to have dimmed a lot, with a hideous color.
Kakashi's pupils widened, and he rolled his eyes in disbelief and looked back.
What I saw was Danzo's grim face wrapped in bandages.
Revealing a resolute but cold killing intent.
"Regiment... Danzo-sama..."
"I was originally going to use the Sharingan to control you, but unfortunately, the other gods are still on cool, so I can't use it a second time in a short time. This is the only way to make a decision. ”
"For... Why... I"
Kakashi coughed and bleed, and the more he suppressed it, the more painful the sound that came out of his mouth.
"According to the report of the spy I planted on Orochimaru's side, you secretly met with Orochimaru many times during the Zhongnin exam, and you were planning some kind of conspiracy. And you didn't report this to the roots. ”
"But... Damn it...... Orochimaru-sama... I won't let it go..."
Kakashi wanted to struggle.
Danzou turned the blade in his hand.
Kakashi's body stiffened, his heart crushed, his eyes dimmed, and he lost his divine light.
"I've told you many times not to step on two boats like this. You're to blame, Kakashi. You've ended up taking the wrong path. “
Pulling the blade out of Kakashi's body, losing the support of the blade, Kakashi fell to the side, motionless.
"It's a pity, but since you're a traitor, there's no way around it. Orochimaru hums. ”
Danzo glanced at Kakashi's corpse lying to the ground without pity, and sneered, disdainful of Orochimaru's plan.
"If you want to calculate the old man, you are still a hundred years early, Orochimaru."
The meaning of the existence of tools is naturally that they can be discarded when they are used up.
According to this guideline, although it is a pity for a talent like Kakashi, Danzou is determined to eradicate it, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
At this time, two figures fell, and they were the root ninja who had been guarding the darkness.
"Danzo-sama."
"Send Kakashi's body to the dissecting chamber for analysis. And grab the pocket, it's useless to keep him, let him go with Ye Naiyu
A fierce look flashed in Tuan Zang's eyes.
The position of Hokage is already within reach.
Well, all the darkness here has to be covered.
All ties with Orochimaru must also be cut off mercilessly.
Kakashi, with the help of the power of the roots, planted the Orochimaru spies in the village, all of them will be killed without leaving any of them.
"Next, it's time to go there..."
As if thinking of something, a complicated color appeared in Tuan Zang's cold eyes.
Accompanied by several root ninjas, Danzo arrived in a secluded corner of Konoha Village.
Compared to the turbulent environment outside, this place has maintained a simple side from beginning to end, and is not known to outsiders.
And this is also the original root of Danzo.
The Shimura clan.
The family that raised him as an adult.
This huge family, which should have used his status as an elder, to wrestle with the Mouth Ape Fei clan, is now so crowded that it has almost been removed from the name of the ninja clan by Konoha .
The elderly, children, and elderly women are visible, and other than that, young adults are barely visible.
"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"
Hearing the boy who ran to him, he asked himself with innocent eyes to ask for his intentions, and Tuan Zang subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to make the smile on his face gentle, but no matter how hard he tried, the smile on his face was full of coldness.
It's as if the body has lost the function of smiling.
"Don't touch him!"
The woman screamed to stop Tuanzang's actions, quickly picked up the boy, and as if fleeing from the plague god, hid into the house, and slammed the door shut.
Looking at Danzang's eyes, there was hatred and fear.
"Danzo-sama..."
The root ninja seems to want to say something.
Danzang shook his head and withdrew his hand that had paused in mid-air, and the loving smile on his face disappeared, returning to his usual gloom.
The reaction of the adults here was as he expected.
Because of his iron-blooded policy, not only did he not make the Shimura clan gain a status similar to that of the Sarufei clan, but during the war, he continued to send young adults into the battlefield, or absorb them into the roots, and complete the task of nine deaths and one life.
This also led to the complete decline of the powerful Shimura clan in the early days of the establishment of the village.
But Danzang didn't think it was wrong.
Sacrificing sex for the sake of Konoha, these clansmen died as they deserved.
As the leader of the martial arts faction, he could only choose to bear the darkness on these people and move on.
"Tuanzang."
An old and trembling voice sounded, and an old man blocked the middle of the path of Danzang and the others, preventing them from advancing and penetrating deep into the hinterland of the Shimura clan.
Tuan Zang knew the old man and nodded to him, which was regarded as a greeting.
"There's no tool you need anymore, don't you want these kids to absorb into your roots?"
"You should hear the voices outside, right?"
Tuan Zang did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Looks like you've finally got your wish. In this way, the sacrifice of the Shimura clan is worth it, and with the support of the Hokage, our clan will soon be able to surpass the Sarutobi clan..."
The old man sighed with relief.
"The pension that belongs to the Shimura family will be sent here one by one. But I also hope that I don't have the luxury of expecting things that don't belong to the Shimura family. “
Without waiting for the old man to imagine those beautiful visions, Tuan Zang interrupted coldly.
"What do you mean?"
The old man's body trembled, looking at Tuan Zang like a stranger, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Over the years, Hizai has been mired in the balance of the ninja clan and has not been able to get out of the quagmire, and I don't want to become like him, a Hokage in name only. The power of the ninja clan is too strong and must be weakened. ”
”… What is the sacrifice of the Shimura clan over the years? ”
The old man asked tremblingly.
"After the subsidy is down, you can just keep to yourself, and you can safely continue the bloodline of the clan. Those who died on the battlefield sacrificed for the sake of the village, and they were glorious and proud. I have never been ungrateful to their families for their pensions. ”
Tuan Zang's tone was calm.
"But their surname is Shimura!"
"No, they're Konoha ninjas!"
"What if I say no? Would you treat the Shimura clan in the same way as you did with the Uchiha? “
The old man suppressed the anger in his voice, as if he wanted to swallow Tuanzang alive, his eyes full of resentment.
"If you want things to be like that."
Tuan Zang's voice was lukewarm, and he looked directly at the old man.
"Danzoichi"
"That's all I say, I hope to think twice."
"Tuanzang, you one"
The old man was about to scold angrily, and his body stiffened suddenly.
Tuan Zang's emotionless eyes stared coldly, and the old man was choked by the neck as if he felt some great horror, and his lips twitched a few times, and he couldn't say a word.
"Let's go, there's nothing left to be nostalgic about."
Tuan Zang said, don't drag the mud and water and turn away.
The Root Ninja followed, gradually moving away.
The old man lost his mind and looked at Tuan Zang's departing back, turning into a soulless puppet, sluggish and motionless.
Losing hope for the rise of the clan is a cruel blow to the old man of the Shimura clan.
And what caused this situation was the group that he had high hopes for, and there was no more desperate fact than this.
Walking on the way back, far away from the remote land of the Shimura clan, Danzo forgot about his previous unhappiness and looked up at the sun above his head, because of the rays of the sun, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
His mood improved a lot.
This is different from the dark scene, which makes him yearn for it incomparably.
The light that was longed for many times is now within reach.
There was nothing more pleasing to him.
"Today's sun is much more dazzling than the previous days."
"Not only that, but it was sunny for the next few days."
"Really? It's really good news, it's like celebrating the old man's victory. It turns out that walking in the sun is so pleasant."
(
