Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 182 Last Words

"Teacher, what happened?"

Looking at the haggard and somewhat dazed Sandaime, Orochimaru didn't hesitate and asked straight to the point.

"..."

Sandai opened his mouth, but no words came out.

It was as if he suddenly lost the ability to speak.

"Hokage-sama?"

beside,

Minato also looked at the Sandaime with a surprised look. He hadn't seen him for a few minutes. How come... Hokage-sama became so haggard? If he couldn't feel Hokage-sama's very strong vitality, he would I'm afraid I can't help but suspect that Hokage-sama is not going to die soon.

In mind,

A bad premonition emerged.

It turned out that there were still some noisy voices that disappeared at this time.

Nine out of the ten Konoha ninjas who can stand here at this moment are human spirits, and the remaining one is even more a human spirit among human spirits. Everyone can see that the third generation's mental state is not right, so they all He kept silent and tried his best to eliminate his presence, lest he accidentally touch the Hokage-sama.

At this moment,

The only ones who dared to talk were Orochimaru, the beloved disciple of the Third Hokage, and Minato, who was not afraid of the Hokage's wrath and was dedicated to the village.

of course,

Many of the jounin of the Uchiha family are fierce men who don't know how to write the word "fear", but their clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, is a discerning man. Even though he may have some flaws in his character, this does not hinder him. At this time, he chose to suppress the clan members and go forward to question the Sandaime.

He is also Hokage after all.

And he is also the longest-serving Hokage.

"······Watergate!"

After taking several deep breaths, the sound finally came out of Sandai's mouth, and he called Minato's name.

"I'm here! Hokage-sama."

Minato answered.

"Minato, you... you lead the team, bring more people, and follow the clues left by Sui and the others to catch up..." Sandai's voice was intermittent, and anyone could see that his mental state was... How terrible, but no one dared to interrupt him at this time. They all held their breath and listened carefully with their ears raised.

but,

The Sandaime paused at this moment.

He saw Uchiha Fugaku with a searching look on his face, and a group of Uchiha jounin standing behind Uchiha Fugaku with rebellious expressions on their faces.

"...Orochimaru, Minato, come with me."

The Sandaime named both of them.

then,

He took the two of them to the room upstairs.

and,

Opening a barrier in the room blocks the possibility of being eavesdropped.

Seeing the Sandaime's actions, Minato frowned tightly, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger. Orochimaru also restrained the looming playful smile on his face at this moment, and said seriously Looking at the teacher who was already uncontrollably showing endless sadness.

"Teacher, is... something happened to Zhu Sheng?"

Orochimaru asked.

Based on his understanding of the teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi, if the mission of chasing Mizuki and rescuing Uchiha Tsuruha fails, Sarutobi-sensei will only be troubled. It is impossible to say that he feels sad, which can make Sarutobi-sensei so sad. Sad... The most likely thing is that something happened to Takeo Sarutobi, codenamed '狝'.

Bamboo?

When he heard the name, Minato didn't react for a moment.

But soon,

He remembered that the name of Lord Hokage's eldest son seemed to be Sarutobi Takeo.

"Ou... No, it's Takeo, Takeo and the others... all died." The Sandaime closed his eyes, tears falling from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.

<divclass="contentadv">When I think about losing my eldest son,

The great sadness almost suffocated him.

Losing his father when he was young, losing his son in old age... He has encountered two of the three major tragedies that a person can encounter in his life.

"..."

Orochimaru looked at the tearful teacher.

Silent.

He didn't feel much sadness. His sadness... was probably exhausted by the deaths he faced in the past. Moreover, his relationship with the teacher's two sons was very ordinary, not much. Although we have good friendship, we can't feel as uncomfortable as when our best friend Kato Dan and his disciple Naoki died.

now,

He just felt the fragility of life again.

really,

Only by mastering the art of immortality and eliminating the weakness that life is too fragile can we avoid being invaded by sadness.

"..."

Minato was also speechless.

But unlike Orochimaru's twisted brain circuit, he was shocked by the news.

Unlike Orochimaru,

Only now did he know that the ANBU named Yu was the Hokage's eldest son, Sarutobi Takeo... Wait, total annihilation? All the people in the group were wiped out? How is this going? What kind of enemy would it take to wipe out all the elite Anbu forces under Commander Sui?

Although he arrived late, he was unable to meet the others.

But from the Sandaime's mouth, he learned how powerful the lineup of Suo and his group was. In the Land of Fire... I really didn't expect anyone to be able to completely wipe out Suo and his group.

"Teacher, what is going on? Who killed Zhu Sheng and the others?"

Orochimaru spoke again,

It broke the sad atmosphere in the room.

"...The identity of the perpetrator is unknown."

The Sandaime took a deep breath, suppressed the sad emotions, answered Orochimaru's question, and explained in detail: "Takeo left his last words, Mizukaki should be the spy planted by Kumo Ninja in Kirigakure Village, Yun Shinobu sent two jounin to pick up Mizaki, but this time the Kiri ninja was tricked by Kumo ninja!"

Orochimaru and Minato frowned slightly.

Can only one Mizusaki and two Kumo ninja jounin wipe out the whole gang?

unless,

One of the two Kumo ninja jounin was the Yondaime Raikage.

But this is impossible no matter how you think about it, right?

Before their thoughts could continue to diverge, the Sandaime continued: "It's just that the Kumo ninja underestimated us. Takeo and the others had the upper hand in the battle with Mizaki and others, but that Mizaki was also ruthless, and there was no hope of escape. Just take Uchiha Hatoha and blow yourself up!!!"

Hear this,

Neither Orochimaru nor Minato's expressions changed at all.

When he knew that the whole group of people were wiped out, Uchiha Tsuruha, the child of the Uchiha family, was already destined to have a bad end. Even if he survived, he would be taken back by the Kumo ninja to be used as a stallion... ····Death may not be a relief for that child.

but,

Judging from this, it shouldn't be the Kumo ninja who wiped out the whole group?

Then who killed the group of people?

"Just after Mizukaki and Uchiha Hatoha blew themselves up and died...an unidentified Uchiha suddenly broke into the battlefield. He first killed the two Kumo ninja jounin who supported Mizukaki, and then attacked Takeo. They killed me, and Zhu Sheng only had time to leave his last words to me through the monkey demon, and then he was killed."

Although the monkey demon did not see the killing of Sarutobi Takeo,

But their clan has signed a psychic contract with Sarutobi Takeo, so there is naturally a way to determine whether Sarutobi Takeo is alive or dead, and the result of the determination is that Sarutobi Takeo is alive and dead.
