Chapter 260 I Can Only Ask You

Muye Village

Uchiha clan land

Little Sasuke stuffed a rice ball in his mouth and asked vaguely: "Mom, did Dad leave so early?"

Mikoto smiled gently as usual, "Dad has been very busy lately."

Future Sasuke was a little confused: "Is it because of the live broadcast?"

There's a reason why Naruto has been busy since becoming Hokage.

Just look at how prosperous Konoha will be in the future.

There is nothing in the village now, and this can only be explained by the live broadcast.

Future Sasuke seemed to remember something: "Oh, right, last night I mentioned Otsutsuki Toneri. It would be better to solve this trouble as soon as possible. In a few years, that guy will be hard to deal with."

Mikoto was stunned.

"Sasuke, are you saying that Otsutsuki Toneri is easy to deal with now?"

Future Sasuke nodded: "I didn't think too much about it last night. I just thought that since mother asked, I would tell you about this matter. I just remembered that Otsutsuki Toneri is also a big trouble for this ninja world. It would be best to solve it in advance."

Little Sasuke asked doubtfully, "How easy is that guy to deal with now?"

Future Sasuke thought of the double magatama in his eye sockets and said, "He hasn't fused those eyes yet. He is currently just a child without eyes who can't see anything. Even you can defeat him."

Sasuke said "Oh" and didn't feel that he was being looked down upon.

With a clang, the plate in Mikoto's hand fell to the ground, and the food spilled all over the floor.

"Wait, I need to go to the Hokage's office first!"

After saying that, she ran out in a hurry without even taking off her apron.

Hokage Building

The Hokage's office was filled with smoke, like a heavenly palace.

Fugaku sat here, inhaling the second-hand smoke while processing documents without feeling any discomfort.

Apparently, he's used to it.

Fugaku used the document in his hand to fan away the smoke that blocked his vision, took out the next document, and read it numbly, like an emotionless robot.

Even trivial matters require decisions from senior management.

The document he was looking at was submitted by the police force. In the first sheet, he could see that Mr. Kai was being courted, and in the second sheet, he could see that it was a misunderstanding, that the attacker was willing to pay for the drunk's medical expenses, and other related information.

The next picture shows some trouble caused outside Konoha Village.

Unable to make up their minds, they discussed solutions together.

"Dong dong" the knock on the door sounded.

"Enter."

The ANBU ninja helped Mikoto open the door.

In an instant, a thick cloud of secondhand smoke hit me in the face.

Seeing this super-advanced Mist Hidden Silent Assassination Technique, Mikoto quickly covered her mouth and nose and took a step back.

But thinking that her husband was still inside, she gritted her teeth and went in.

Seeing this, Fugaku stood up and opened the window.

But in just a moment, the smoke in the room dissipated.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose head was smoking, extinguished his pipe, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat which had been nourished by the smoke.

Looking at Mikoto who was still wearing an apron, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a tone that was neither happy nor sad: "It's Mikoto. Did you hear some important information from Sasuke that made you so anxious?"

No matter how strong the storm is, he can withstand it.

He...is used to it.

Inside Konoha Village

Kai looked at the Uchiha Guard members in front of him, feeling inexplicably uneasy: "Did I commit a crime?"

Several Uchiha clan members quickly waved their hands, with an unusually respectful attitude: "No, no, no, Mr. Kai, we just want to ask you, can we practice Taijutsu with you?"

Hearing this, a big question mark appeared on Kai's forehead: "Don't you have the bloodline limit of the Sharingan? Why do you want to practice Taijutsu?"

The Uchiha standing in the front said sincerely: "We also want to help with the crisis in the ninja world, but the Sharingan is useless against a being like Madara, so we want to train with you."

Kai hesitated: "It would be best to inform the Hokage about this matter... If the Hokage agrees, I would certainly be happy to have someone train with me."

"It's settled!" Several Uchiha clan members showed joy on their faces: "We will go find the Hokage now."

Having said this, the Uchiha clan members bowed to Kai very respectfully.

Hokage Building

Mikoto said with a guilty look on her face, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for telling Fugaku about this without asking clearly."

Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief.

"Overall, this is good news and a false alarm."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that most of the pressure on him was relieved: "It's not your fault. After hearing about the attack that can cut the moon in one blow, no one would have the heart to think so carefully."

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two Hokage advisors winking at him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly.

But this is indeed the information the village wants to know most at the moment.

So he still spoke shamelessly: "Mikoto... Can the village ask you for a favor?"

Fugaku frowned subconsciously.

Mikoto could roughly guess that Sarutobi Hiruzen's request was related to the future Sasuke.

Mikoto was a little embarrassed: "Is it related to Sasuke? As you know, Fugaku and I feel very guilty about him, so it's not easy to ask him to do something for the village... During the time he stays in this time and space, I just want to do my best to make up for the suffering he has suffered over the years."

Although she and Fugaku are not the real parents of future Sasuke, if there were no live broadcast, the growth trajectory of Sasuke in this world would be the same as that of future Sasuke.

Thinking of how much suffering Sasuke on the screen has gone through, they always feel guilty for not fulfilling their responsibilities as parents when facing the future Sasuke.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "I'm not asking Sasuke to look for Naruto for the village. We just need one piece of information... and that is the true identity of the masked man."

"Mikoto, you and Fugaku are the only ones who are best suited to ask Sasuke about this matter. I don't think he will refuse... You also know how much of an impact Naruto's abduction has had on the village..."

Mikoto looked at Fugaku, somewhat bewildered.

Fugaku closed his eyes.

This is true.

But out of guilt towards Sasuke, it was difficult for him to ask future Sasuke for the information he needed.

Even though he knew Sasuke wouldn't say no.

Looking at Fugaku's expression, Mikoto already knew his answer.

Utane Koharu frowned: "The one who kidnapped Naruto was originally from the Uchiha clan..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stuffed the pipe into her mouth.

Even though it was for the village to achieve its desired goal, wasn't speaking like that just causing more trouble and creating conflict between the village and the Uchiha?

Mikoto's eyes dimmed.

What Utatane Koharu said is right.

The culprit of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the person who killed the Fourth Hokage and his wife and kidnapped Naruto, was a member of the Uchiha clan who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Mikoto lowered her head: "I understand. I will ask Sasuke when I get back..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen apologized, "I'm sorry. Mikoto, I can only leave this matter to you."

Only by knowing the true identity of the masked man can the village find a way to find him as soon as possible and have a chance to take Naruto back from him.

Although Itachi was very reliable in his eyes, there was still a possibility of failure...
