Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 184 Announcement

Downstairs, lobby.

The ninjas of Konoha whispered to each other, quietly guessing what happened. Although the Sandaime did not tell any actual information just now, his change in state was enough for everyone to figure out a lot of things.

I'm afraid things are going to be bad for the others!

The mission may have gone awry.

The Jonin of the Uchiha family all frowned. If Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, hadn't suppressed them, someone would have rushed upstairs to ask the Hokage what happened. Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Obito exchanged words with each other. They exchanged glances and both saw each other's worries.

Unlike other tribesmen,

In their minds, the boundary between the village and the family is not so clear-cut. They feel that the family is part of the village, and the two cannot be treated separately. However, they also know that there are very few tribesmen who hold this idea. Most people clearly distinguish between their family and their village.

This made them uneasy,

What if something happens to Heyu, the clan brother, and a conflict breaks out between the family and the village?

Hall corner.

The Mist Ninjas also looked nervous. They were all nervously waiting for the movements of the Konoha Ninjas. They couldn't help but speculate in their hearts what kind of fate would be waiting for them next? Even Yuzhang couldn't show his composure at this time, so he could only follow the crowd and adopt a vigilant posture.

"Yuzhang, aren't you worried?"

Lin Yuri leaned close to him and asked in a low voice.

"No! I'm so worried right now that I've never let go!"

Yuzhang denied it.

"······Liar!"

Lin Jiaoyu Yuli stared at Yuzhang for two seconds, but he directly labeled Yuzhang a liar.

"..."

Yuzhang raised his eyebrows.

Looking at Yuri Lin with surprised eyes, I have to say that the perception of this girl who inherited part of the Uzumaki bloodline seems to be quite unusual. Compared with ordinary sensory ninjas, she seems to be able to perceive many things besides chakra fluctuations. .

I had noticed something strange about Mizusaki before, and now I seemed to see through his mental state...

At this time-

Two figures appeared on the stairs leading to the second floor.

It's the Sandaime Hokage and Orochimaru.

Namikaze Minato wasn't here.

For just a moment, everyone in the hall focused their attention on the third generation and Orochimaru.

"Hokage-sama, what is going on now? Please tell me the truth. Is my clan brother dead or alive now?"

Behind Uchiha Fugaku,

The young man named Uchiha Inari asked loudly as if he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Rice fire!"

Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed, and he immediately started scolding him harshly.

"I'm just going to tell you that I'm sorry, Uchiha Tsuruha has unfortunately passed away."

Sandai replied without changing his expression.

With this remark,

The expressions of all the jonins of the Uchiha family changed. Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Obito showed deep sadness and worry on their faces. The sadness was because Tsuruha, a younger brother of the clan, was so older. Having suffered such a fate at a young age, he was worried that the clan members would clash with the village due to He Yu's death.

<divclass="contentadv">"Hokage-sama, that's not what you said before. You rejected the clan leader's request and did not allow us to intervene in the rescue of Heyu. You said ANBU are professionals. This is what professionals do. What's wrong with you? You killed my clan brother!!!"

Uchiha Inari's tone became irritable.

Behind three generations,

Orochimaru's eyes suddenly became cold. Looking at Uchiha Inari was like looking at a dead person, a moving corpse!

"Not only Uchiha Tsuruha was unfortunately killed, but Suo, Kenpei and his party also died in the battle. Suo, my eldest son, Sarutobi Takeo, only had time to pass on some information to me through the monkey demon before he died. "Sandaime said numbly, as if he didn't hear Uchiha Inari's rude words at all.

"what?"

"Is Hokage the eldest son of Lord Hokage?"

"...Sarutobi Takeo died?"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The third generation's words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.

Not everyone knows like Orochimaru that Ko is Sarutobi Takeo. The identity of the ANBU members is an unquestionable secret in the village. Apart from the Hokage, only a few people like Orochimaru know the true identity of some ANBU members. identity.

Therefore,

Even though they had thought through the Sandaime's reaction that the actions of Yu and others were not going well and that something might have happened,... to be honest, they didn't take it to heart. The ninjas ate a bowl of knife tips like this. It is normal for people to lick their blood and sacrifice themselves in missions.

On the contrary, Hokage-sama's sad expression puzzled everyone. Hokage-sama is not the kind of rookie who has never seen blood. How could he look so weak just because of the casualties of several Anbu?

right now,

But everyone understood why.

The ANBU codenamed '狝' turned out to be Lord Hokage's eldest son, Sarutobi Takeo.

No wonder Lord Hokage showed such a grief-stricken posture just now.

"..."

Uchiha Inaba was also stuck at this moment. The anger that had just risen was forcibly suppressed at this moment. Looking at the indifferent Hokage, he was completely speechless for a while. Even the Hokage-sama The eldest son's life was at stake, and it seemed that... he could no longer blame the Hokage for killing Uchiha Tsuruha, his clan brother.

"This, this...how could this happen!"

Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, was also a little numb at the moment.

I thought that if Uchiha Tsuruha was unfortunately killed, the Uchiha clan would be able to occupy the high ground of reason and bargain with the Hokage.

Who can realize it?

The eldest son of the Hokage is gone.

In this way, it is no longer possible to use the incident of Uchiha Tsuruha's death to bargain with the Hokage. I have to worry about whether he will be angered by the Hokage. Thinking of this... Uchiha Fugakudun Feeling big head.

"Also, the person who killed Uchiha Tsuruha should be Mizusaki, the spy planted by the Kumo ninjas in Kirigakure Village. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, he used the detonating talisman to kill Uchiha Tsuruha with him." Sandai continued, He told this information in front of so many people, including the Kiri Ninja.

The ninjas of Konoha were in an uproar.

I had previously guessed based on Mizusaki's movements that he might be related to Kumo Ninja, but that was just a guess after all. Now that Hokage-sama spoke his mind, everyone was immediately filled with indignation. They cursed Kumo Ninja one by one, and those who were gearing up wanted to rush to Kumo Ninja. Go to the hidden village to find the fourth generation Raikage to settle the score!

But no one dared to touch the minefield of 'Sarutobi Takeo's death'.
