Chapter 43 Survival from desperate situation
It must be said that the old monkey Sarutobi Hiruzen is really efficient in doing things.
When I got up this morning, I heard Konoha's ninjas wandering the streets, announcing that a village-wide meeting would be held at noon today.
The stage had been set by Sarutobi Hiruzen, which meant that one of his feet had already stepped into the trap that Naruto had set for him.
In order to make Sarutobi Hiruzen fall completely, Naruto, the mastermind, has to help him out.
……
At noon, after hurriedly eating lunch, the villagers of Konoha rushed to gather under the Hokage Building.
That guy had a big scene, with loud gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags waving, and huge crowds of people...
I don't know those people in the crowd who are carrying the banner of "The Will of Fire" and holding up "The Strongest Hokage in History, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen-sama"...
Was it arranged by that shameless old man Sarutobi Hiruzen himself?
Naruto originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos and squeeze to the front of the Hokage Building, but he was stopped by two Anbu ninjas as soon as he stepped into the street.
"Hokage has ordered that only villagers from Konoha Village can enter this place. Anyone who enters without permission will be treated as a spy...
So we need to verify your identity as a villager, and only after we confirm it is correct can we let you go."
Naruto really didn't expect there would be such a thing. At this moment, he inexplicably recalled the great terror he felt from the two "gate gods" of Konoha when he entered the village before...
In fact, the two Anbu ninjas who blocked his way were also helpless.
Early this morning they received an order from the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen:
There are spies sent by Konoha's hostile forces who have infiltrated the village. The Anbu must send people to strictly check the identity of everyone who comes to attend the villagers' meeting.
They asked the person who delivered the order what the characteristics of the spy that the Hokage mentioned were, but he only added two points:
1. Suspected of being able to transform into anyone;
2. Love to slap people in the face.
(||?_?)……
How should their Anbu start the investigation?
In desperation, they could only hold the population list of Konoha Village and squat at the street corner to check the identities of everyone one by one.
"Please tell me your name, age, family, and address in Konoha..."
An ANBU ninja said as he flipped open the roster and waited for Naruto's answer;
The other one kept his attention on Naruto, holding the hilt of the ninja sword behind him with his right hand, ready to draw the sword at any time.
Faced with the questions from the Anbu ninja, Naruto was instantly at a loss.
His identities as a villager of Konoha are:
Uzumaki Naruto, 7 years old this year, has no family, used to live in a welfare single apartment allocated by Konoha Village, and is now a Konoha rebel...
But can Naruto tell them this information? !
Obviously it can't.
If Naruto made up a random name and it didn't match the roster or the person had already been put in jail... he would still be in trouble.
But if you can't answer...
Shit! The ninja sword on the back of the Anbu ninja who had been staring at him has been unsheathed!
[It’s over, pills…??^??~]
Naruto found that before Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into the pit, he was forced into a dead end by the godly move that this dead monkey suddenly came up with.
Naruto racked his brains but couldn't think of a way out. He saw that the ninja sword in the hands of the Anbu ninja was already pointed at him, and he didn't know when he would stab him...
[Damn, you old thief Sarutobi, you're still pretty good at this... You forced me to do this~]
Naruto made up his mind and immediately decided to tear off his disguise and call on Kurama to possess him and make a big fuss, and then find a chance to escape.
Just as Naruto was about to wake up the big fox who was still sleeping soundly in the consciousness space, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Naruto's eyes lit up and a plan immediately came to his mind.
"Aba Aba... Aba~ Aba!"
Naruto quickly ran up and grabbed the man's hand, shouting "Aba Aba" all the time, and secretly wrote on the man's hand:
It's me, Uzumaki Naruto!
"So he's a mute. No wonder he didn't answer."
Seeing this, the Anbu ninja relaxed his guard and pointed the tip of the knife at the ground.
"Master Hiashi, may I ask if this person is a member of your Hyuga clan?"
Hyuga Hiashi frowned and looked at Naruto who was holding Hyuga Neji tightly, and his mind kept recalling the appearance of all the members of the Hyuga clan.
"This is not..."
Just as Hyuga Hiashi was about to deny it, Hyuga Neji, who understood what Naruto wanted to say, quickly took over the conversation.
“Isn’t this just a guard from our Hyuga branch family?
His name is Hinata Toru, he is a mute, and I don’t know why he ran ahead of us.
how?
Do you, the Anbu, think there is anything to doubt about his identity?"
After Hyuga Neji finished speaking, he winked at Naruto, who understood and turned to face the two Anbu ninjas, and then...
Ding~ Roll your eyes! ?_?! ! !
Judging from the appearance alone, the cataracts that Naruto created with his ever-changing form were so powerful that they instantly frightened the two Anbu ninjas.
Hyuga Neji took the opportunity to give Hyuga Hiashi a hidden look.
[It turned out to be that brat Uzumaki Naruto. 】
As the head of the clan, Hyuga Hiashi quickly guessed Naruto's identity based on Hyuga Neji's various unusual behaviors.
The Anbu ninja flipped through the roster and quickly searched, and found that the name Hinata Toru was indeed on the roster, but it did not mention that Hinata Toru was a mute.
"Master Hiashi, according to the village records, Hinata Toru is not a mute, but now... could you explain it to me?"
"He heard things he shouldn't have heard, and said things he shouldn't have said, so I cut off his tongue...
What, are you Anbu dissatisfied with the way I dealt with the wrong tribesmen? ! "
"Don't dare."
The two Anbu ninjas denied it repeatedly. They didn't dare to confront the patriarch of the largest family in Konoha Village today.
"Do you have any more questions?"
"of course not."
"Then make way."
"Yes, Lord Rizu, you and your people please come in."
……
Naruto managed to sneak in with the Hyuga clan's team without any danger.
[Huh~ I’m finally in.]
Fortunately, fortunately, there is no need to release Jiu Lama to mess things up, and the plan can proceed smoothly...
Old monkey Sarutobi, let’s wait and see! 】
As soon as he stepped into the street, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Toru, you two come here with me, and the rest of you stay where you are."
Hyuga Hiashi had a dark face and grabbed Naruto by the collar and dragged him to a deserted place. Hyuga Neji followed behind the two of them very consciously.
"Brat, no matter what you want to do by sneaking in here, I hope you won't bring trouble to our Hyuga family."
"Don't worry, uncle...I'm very reliable!
Why didn't Hinata come?"
"...Do you really want me to cut off your tongue?"
"..."
"Uncle, where is the Hinata Toru whose identity I replaced?"
"……died."
Hinata Hiashi's tone became noticeably lower.
Hinata Toru, on the night Naruto met Hinata Hiashi... died for his family.
