The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

a few days later.

Ninja School.

In the second grade class.

Naruto, who used to be the most naughty and noisy in the past, seemed to be much calmer now, and the atmosphere in the entire class was no longer as lively as before.

After the exchange with Kakashi.

Naruto has been in this depressed state.

It looked like Hinata was worried.

After hesitating for several days, Hinata finally couldn't help it and asked Naruto who was sitting next door: "Naruto, what happened to you recently? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Sasuke, who was also sitting next to Naruto, also said: "Yes, Naruto. If you encounter any problems, just tell us and we will definitely find a way to help you."

"Do not."

"I am fine."

"You don't have to worry."

"I just thought of some unhappy things recently. It should be fine in a few days."

Naruto answered them with a narrowed smile.

This expression made Hinata feel even more worried.

Sasuke didn't think too much.

I really think Naruto will be fine in a few days.

that's it.

The three of them very obediently continued to listen to the class attentively.

Until the school bell rings.

bell

bell

Hinata gave Sasuke a wink.

Sasuke understood, and immediately asked: "I've been very tired from the recent exercise. Why don't we just relax today, and when we get out, let's go swimming and fishing, Hinata, what do you think?"

Hinata hummed slightly excitedly.

Then they both looked at Naruto.

Wait for his reply.

"No."

"Since I don't have any exercise, I want to rest at home today."

"Let's talk another day."

With that said, Naruto was about to get up and leave.

But right now.

Iruka, the head teacher, applauded from outside the door and walked in.

"Clap clap clap"

"Everyone, listen, the village is currently under martial law. Everyone must stay in school first, and only after the martial law ends, can everyone leave after school."

The voice just fell.

A group of students in the classroom.

There was an instant uproar.

They all expressed their dissatisfaction.

They were also very confused and didn't understand why the village was suddenly under martial law. This was something they had never encountered before.

Also confused were Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke.

"Do you know what is going on?" Naruto asked the two people standing aside with a slight frown.

Hinata and Sasuke both shook their heads.

There was no time to ask Iruka, the homeroom teacher.

After Iruka announced the news, he quickly left the classroom regardless of whether the students were dissatisfied or not.In exchange, there were two ANBU ninjas wearing masks, guarding the door of the class.

Saw these two ANBU ninjas.

Everyone in the class immediately stopped making noise.

Compared to Iruka, the homeroom teacher, they were undoubtedly more afraid of these two ANBU ninjas wearing cold masks.

This time.

When everyone spoke, they became much softer.

Seeing that everyone in the class was clueless, Naruto suddenly thought of asking his all-knowing brother, "Brother, the village is under martial law suddenly. Do you know what's going on?"

From small to large.

As long as he has a problem, his brother will definitely be able to answer it for him.

He believed that his brother would not let him down this time.

Sure enough, his brother's voice quickly responded in his mind: "Naruto, are you sure you want to know the answer?"

Done

I heard my brother say that.

Naruto was suddenly stunned.

A bad premonition arises involuntarily from within.

And this feeling is getting stronger and stronger

Taking a deep breath: "Brother, just tell me."

"Naruto, have you read the history of the village? Have you noticed any different changes in the village since the old man Sandaime took office?"

Naruto thought hard.

But no matter how much he recalled the history of Konoha that he knew well.

I didn't find any strange changes among the three generations of old men before and after they took office.

Just about to ask.

Li Yaoxiang took the lead and reminded: "Since the old man took office, the Senju clan, the top family that founded Konoha, has declined. Konoha's alliance, the Uzumaki Kingdom, has been destroyed. And the top strong men in the village are all one disappear.

Didn't leave the village

Just passed away.

If you think about it carefully, these events have nothing to do with each other."

Naruto fell into thinking again.

But no matter how much he thought, he couldn't figure out the reason.

This time he was almost driven crazy by Li Yaoxiang. Impatient, he urged: "Oh, brother, can you tell me the answer directly?

Also, what do these things have to do with this martial law?”

Li Yaoxiang also stopped showing affection: "Haven't you noticed that since the village was controlled by those old guys from the Hokage Tower, everything that could threaten their power or status has disappeared one by one?"

boom

Takashi

Naruto's mood was as shocked as a bolt from the blue.

If it weren't for my brother's reminder.

He really hasn't discovered the common denominator in all these incidents.

It's exactly what my brother said

All threatening existences to those old men disappeared one by one.

Naruto in reality was so frightened by this idea that he stood up suddenly.

His sudden move frightened Hinata and Sasuke beside them.

"Naruto, what's wrong with you?" Hinata.

"Naruto, what happened to you? Why are you so weird lately?" Sasuke.

When Naruto came back to his senses, his lips turned slightly white.

But he still suppressed his emotions forcefully.

"It's alright."

"You don't have to worry."

"I just suddenly thought of something, that's why I was so rude."

"Sorry for scaring you."

Naruto sat back down.

Don't care about other people's eyes.

Continue to communicate with Li Yaoxiang in his mind: "Brother, what do you mean? Do you want to say that this martial law is related to these things?"

"Oh, you already have the answer, don't you?"

"Why ask even though you already know?"

Yes

After Li Yaoxiang reminded him again and again.

Naruto did have an answer in his heart.

But this is an answer that Naruto doesn't want to believe even to death.

I don’t even want to face it

Nowadays, the only top families that can threaten the existence of the old guys in the Hokage Tower are the only top families. Among these top families, the most powerful and threatening one is not the Uchiha clan, who could it be?

Naruto subconsciously glanced at Sasuke, who was still worried about him.

I kept rejecting it in my mind.

"Will not"

"Will not"

"The village won't do this"

"The village would not be so cruel or ungrateful."

"I must have guessed wrong. My brother must have thought wrong."

"Yes, that must be the case."

Naruto had just gotten a dose of reassurance for himself, but Li Yaoxiang's next words were like a plate of cold water being poured down on his head: "Why do you still want to deceive yourself?"

Well, since you don't believe it.

You can ask Hinata who is sitting next to you.

The Hyuga family was also the target of those old guys."

ps: Remember, everyone, the above content was all arranged by Li Yaoxiang to deceive Naruto.As long as Li Yaoxiang arranged the script so that Naruto couldn't refute it, that would be fine.As for the truth, we can only leave it to everyone’s own speculation.
