Chapter 258 Staring Back at Him
Just as Sasuke was about to speak, Future Sasuke interrupted him directly, "What I mean is that I don't want to know. It's getting late, and we should go to bed. Go to bed early and get up early, and develop good habits."
Sasuke groaned. This guy didn't want to listen, but he insisted on saying it! He told him to treat Peanut like that!
"The title is praising your cuteness!"
Mikoto's eyebrows arched.
Future Sasuke: ...
Sasuke looked at his speechless expression with pride.
Then, Sasuke said to him solemnly: "But thank you, my future self. You didn't treat me like a child like Itachi on the screen did, and you didn't send me away for such an important matter, choosing to only talk to adults."
Future Sasuke thought he was thinking too much.
If there weren't live broadcasts in this world, the not-so-detailed information he mentioned would have been exposed by the live broadcasts sooner or later.
He would never tell such important secrets as the Otsutsuki to anyone except the village leaders and his parents.
Even if Itachi wanted to know, he would hold back.
"You're welcome."
……
Late night
Entrance of the Hokage Building
The meeting had just ended and everyone except Fugaku was on their way home.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said, "I really can't bear to pass this matter to the next Hokage."
Mitomono sighed, "Who says Naruto is the savior that most people recognize? There are too many people who like and recognize him, and an Uchiha alone cannot bear this responsibility. Especially, Naruto's current situation is unknown whether he is alive or dead... Not only the Uchiha can't bear it, if the matter is exposed, we old guys and the Uchiha together can't bear it."
Utatane Koharu said with emotion: "That group of tourists from all over the ninja world is too crazy. The hotel outside the village has not been built yet. Even if they have to sleep in the open air, they are unwilling to leave without seeing Naruto, Sasuke and Gai."
Shikaku twitched his lips: "I doubt that even if Madara showed up, some of them would dare to ask for his autograph..."
"My head hurts from thinking about it. I need to go home and have a good sleep so that I can have enough energy to deal with any emergencies."
……
Uchiha clan land
Fugaku was on his way home.
There will probably be more and more meetings in the next few days.
The most important thing is the incident of Naruto’s disappearance.
Many people in the village knew that Naruto had been kidnapped, but they were all ordered to keep silent. Those who knew about it also understood how serious the consequences would be if it was exposed.
Those who are in the know have personally experienced the abilities of the masked man. His strange ability in time and space is hard to guard against. As long as the other party wants to run, he won't even leave any trace of tracking.
But most villagers are still kept in the dark.
If this matter were to be exposed by accident, not to mention the villagers in the village who were unaware of the situation, I'm afraid that the other four major countries, from the common people to the daimyo, and even the entire ninja world would be in an uproar and denounce Konoha together.
No one wants to see such consequences.
Fugaku raised his head and said with great nostalgia: "The work of the police force is really easy..."
The second thing is to discuss the timing of the succession to the fifth generation.
Should Fugaku succeed the Fifth Generation before the Five Kage Summit, or after the Five Kage Summit...
Even Fugaku supported the latter on this point.
It’s not that he doesn’t want future Sasuke to see the moment when he succeeds as Hokage sooner.
But...
If he succeeds as Hokage after the Five Kage Summit, then this Five Kage Summit will be attended by Shikaku, who is the Acting Hokage.
Letting the highly intelligent Shikaku negotiate with the Kages of other major ninja villages is the safest way for Konoha, which has lost Naruto.
At the Five Kage Summit, in addition to discussing the crisis in the ninja world and working together to find ways to nip future crises in the bud, the rest of the discussion will naturally revolve around Naruto and Sasuke.
As for dealing with these things, Fugaku doesn't think he is better than Shikaku.
With all these miscellaneous things still in his mind, Fugaku pushed open the door. His usually serious face was now filled with fatigue.
Sitting on the bed, Mikoto seemed to be worried about something. When she saw Fugaku open the door and walk in, she stood up and walked over to take off her husband's coat.
"It's so dusty at night. Why don't you change your clothes before coming in? You're bringing dust into the room."
Fugaku, who was in a daze, subconsciously asked, "What? Who to trade with?"
Mikoto hesitated.
She looked down at her light pink pajamas and suggested, "How about... switch with me?"
Fugaku finally came to his senses.
Fugaku:……
"Sorry, I need to go take a shower first."
Wait until after taking a shower.
Fugaku returned to the room.
Looking at Mikoto who was still sitting on the bed, he asked, "Why are you still awake so late? You don't have to wait for me. You still have to get up early tomorrow morning to make breakfast for the two children."
Although... one of the kids is old enough to be Mikoto's younger brother.
But in the eyes of the two, even if Sasuke is older than them, he is still a child.
Mikoto slowly said, "After dinner, the two children discussed the content of the previous live broadcast..."
Then, she told Fugaku about the information she heard from Future Sasuke after dinner.
Fugaku had originally smiled when he heard the two children getting along so happily...
Until Mikoto finished speaking...
The smile on Fugaku's lips completely froze.
My mind is a little confused.
Those chaotic thoughts floated by like a barrage of comments.
"The enemy named Otsutsuki Toneri can split the moon in half with one strike."
'Otsutsuki... Toneri, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, Otsutsuki Indra... The Shinobi period.'
"The guy with this surname must be as old as the Terracotta Warriors, right?"
'How powerful is that old monster?'
"To split the moon in half with one strike, what amount of chakra is needed?"
'That's Naruto's enemy.'
"It was Naruto who finally defeated that terrifying guy."
"If something happens to Naruto, can Sasuke defeat such a guy by himself? Maybe..."
"Sister Yongdai, if you are still alive, can you please protect your son?"
"Naruto, Naruto, Naruto..."
Fugaku suddenly shuddered, and his originally groggy mind instantly became clear.
Things are getting bigger.
At this moment, even if the masked man was really Uchiha Madara, Fugaku felt that he had the courage to point at the other person's nose and scold him for being useless.
"It looks like another sleepless night. Sorry, Mikoto, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the Hokage building tonight."
Mikoto was stunned. She obviously didn't expect her husband to take it so seriously. "Although this matter is not small, it will take several years after all. There's no need to be so anxious, right?"
Fugaku shook his head and said, "For the ninja world, this is a disaster of annihilation level. No matter how serious it is, it cannot be overstated."
"Naruto's situation is unknown. If the matter is not resolved soon, all the pressure will be on Sasuke's small shoulders. Reality is reality, live broadcast is live broadcast, and Sasuke now is not as strong as he will be in the future."
a moment later
Fugaku walked out of the Uchiha clan territory with an expressionless face.
The bath was in vain.
It's not just the Konoha high-ups who are still awake this late.
Country of Grass
Ghost Lantern City Prison
The prisoners imprisoned here will have their chakra sealed.
Inside a luxurious single cell.
Danzo, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes and looked at the jailer who had been standing at the door for a long time. He glared at him and said, "What are you looking at? Do you think you can judge me by my standards?"
The jailer glared back at him.
A kaleidoscope of eyes emerges.
