Chapter 34 Fight to the death!
"Asuma is dead...Drinking the Moon again!"
Itachi's pupils widened and he glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was lying on the ground, his face ashen, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The atmosphere in the office is solemn.
Screams and rescue sounds were mixed.
Itachi stood by the desk, but became calmer and deeper, lost in thought, as if he was isolated from this world.
With a solemn expression on his face, he briefly reviewed the information on the scroll, and immediately guessed the purpose of Konoha's high-level officials urgently summoning him here this time.
On the northwest border of the Land of Fire, Asuma Sarutobi led a team without permission to hunt down the Uchiha team.
This led to the formation of a temporary team of five jounin, and three died and one was captured.
Asuma and Jilu are missing.
There was almost no chance of survival.
In the Fire Temple's reinforcements, all the monks except Jilu died in some weird means.
For Konoha it was a great loss and for Hokage he had lost his only remaining son.
There was a gloomy look on Itachi's face. He knew that his ally might also be involved in that battle.
In that case.
Can Uchiha Yin Yue take nine Uchiha members and leave safely?
Suddenly, a hoarse voice broke the oppression in the Hokage's office.
"Itachi...come here..."
The voice was weak and weak, not living up to its former majesty.
Itachi's eyes trembled slightly, and when he came back to his senses, he followed the voice and saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face was slightly rosy.
Itachi came to the old man and squatted on the ground.
"I didn't let you go after them before... because the Ninja Village needs to be rectified internally, and the root organization in name only needs you to clean up."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked directly at Itachi with his dim eyes, and said tremblingly: "After this week of adaptation, how is the work progress...?"
Itachi calmly replied: "Lord Hokage, the internal reorganization of the root tissue has been completed. In up to one year, the roots can once again deliver nutrients to the big tree of Konoha."
"Okay, faster than I expected."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked sad, stretched out his hand, took Itachi's hand over, patted the back of Itachi's hand with his calloused and wrinkled palm, and said sincerely:
"Then go ahead, rescue your mother, and get rid of Uchiha Yiyue for Konoha. If possible, it's best...capture him alive!!"
"Yes--"
Itachi's expression changed slightly, but he didn't ask too much and nodded immediately.
Sarutobi Hiruzen still patted Itachi's back gently and said hoarsely:
"Sasuke is a smart and talented child. Now the conflict between Konoha and Uchiha no longer exists, and the past has turned over.
Therefore, the three of us decided to let Kakashi be his mentoring Jonin when Sasuke graduates from Konoha Ninja School.
As you know, Kakashi is Minato's disciple. He is reliable and can make people feel at ease when doing things.
I also hope for the future of Konoha...
An Uchiha Hokage can appear!
We will do our best to train Sasuke.
If he is suitable! "
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen let go of Itachi's hands and stopped talking.
"Yes--"
Itachi's eyes became sharp, he slowly stood up, stepped back, and left the Hokage Building with the Root Organization subordinates guarding the corridor.
Let go of these promises.
Itachi had guessed before.
Mother's defection.
Maybe it has something to do with drinking the moon.
After hearing the Sandaime's words today, the doubts in Itachi's mind were cleared.
This proves that the Sandaime Hokage's spy is also tracking the Uchiha defection team!
At this moment, Itachi himself had to go to the northwest of the Fire Country in person, hoping that everything would come quickly.
Although he had taken action long before Konoha's higher-ups allowed him to act without permission.
Hokage's office.
"Ugh……"
After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh as he was helped back to his seat by Koharu and Mito Kaden who were transferred to his dormitory.
"Hiruzhan, do you really think that way about Sasuke?" Koharu asked seriously as he turned to bed and narrowed his eyes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, leaned back on his seat, looked out the window at the scenery of Konoha, clenched his fists, and veins popped out on the back of his old hands.
The whole person's aura shows no trace of the aging and weakness brought about by sadness before.
Yin Yue takes action against Asuma!
Temple of Fire Extinguishing!
How dare he?
Asuma is the only remaining son of his Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"He is indeed an inherently evil Uchiha!!
First up is Danzo.
Now it's Asuma again, the Temple of Fire.
Xiaochun, inflammation.
From today on.
No matter life or death, no matter what the cost, find this Uchiha defector team from the ninja world! ! "
Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious, and after he finished speaking, he punched the desk surface with his fist, causing the desk surface to dent.
bang——
There was a loud noise, the desk fell apart, and sawdust flew away. Several shadow guards had not appeared before, but feeling the anger of Lord Hokage, they appeared in an instant and knelt respectfully in front of the seat.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were spitting fire, his old face gradually became distorted, and the calmness that he had maintained in a high position for more than ten years was gone.
now.
He just wanted to kill Uchiha Yiyue with his own hands.
When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kaden bowed their heads in silence. When Orochimaru defected to Konoha, they, the Hokage, had only been silent for a few days.
Now, the one Yin Yue killed was Sarutobi Hiruzen's only remaining son!
Revenge for killing a son.
Don't share it!
The two Hokage advisors knew that the Uchiha defecting team would have to bear the wrath of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the wrath of the entire Konoha.
Fight until death!
……
……
As night falls, at the foot of Katsuragi Mountain, a bright red bonfire is lit on the plain among the high mountains.
Various game meats were roasting on the fire rack, and the firelight illuminated the tired faces of the Uchiha team members.
After this time escape.
No more pursuit teams were encountered.
The tense nerves of all the Uchiha were also relaxed, and as Tama-o recovered, the atmosphere in the team became more lively.
"Captain, what are those white monsters?" Quan took out her kettle, took the initiative to open the stopper, held it with both hands, and handed it to Yin Yue.
Quan's beautiful, dark eyes widened, full of curiosity, and her oval face, decorated with tear moles, looked cute and beautiful.
Hear the question.
The Uchihas looked at Yin Yue together.
From the day I escaped from Konoha.
This Uchiha team has identified Yin Yue as its core leader.
Now the team only has one captain.
They were also curious about what the monster that appeared from the monks that night was.
However, fleeing all the way left them no time to think about other things, not even time to mourn the annihilation of the Uchiha clan.
Now, after escaping from the Country of Fire, staying away from the Leaf Village, and escaping the first pursuit, and entering the mountains, they were able to take a breather and gain a little sense of security.
Everyone was thinking.
The monster looks human but not human.
The body is like wood.
They act strangely, are difficult to deal with, and have great vitality. If it hadn't been for the black flames of Yin Yue that night, it would have been difficult to kill them all.
"That's White Zetsu."
Yinyue took the kettle, raised her head and took a sip, looking directly at the jumping flames, her clear pupils reflecting the light of the fire.
It feels sweet on the tongue and lips.
He looked down at the kettle.
Pink, girly style.
Quan, who was sitting next to her, put her hands on her knees and supported her chin. Seeing that Yinyue didn't dislike her kettle, she shared the same spout with her.
Quan's mind was not focused on the problem. His heart was pounding, his cheeks were red, and he was secretly happy.
Her little thoughts were noticed by Yuri Hong, who raised the corners of her lips slightly. In front of Quan, she begged Yin Yue for a kettle, squinted her eyes and said with a smile:
"Sorry, I'm a little thirsty too."
Her voice is full of mature woman magnetism and charming.
Yin Yue had no reaction to this.
Izumi's pupils widened, staring straight at Yuhi Kurenai, who was harboring malicious intentions.
I saw Yuhi Hong holding a kettle, raising her head to drink water, with a bold posture and slightly open red lips.
She deliberately let the water flow from the corner of her mouth, sliding over her delicate cheeks, sliding over her jade neck, and disappearing into the white skin covered by the chainmail under her collarbone.
