Konoha: I, Uzumaki Sukuna, become stronger when I turn evil!

Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen became nervous when they saw Yamanaka Inoichi spitting blood and interrupting the ninjutsu.

They had been staring at Yamanaka Inoichi and Naruto to prevent the ninjutsu from causing the Nine-tailed Demon Fox in Naruto's body to riot.

But they clearly couldn't feel any signs of the Nine-tailed Chakra just now, so why did Yamanaka Inoichi spit blood?

Yamanaka Inoichi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a bit of an ugly face:

"I think... my invading chakra was detected."

"When I was checking Uzumaki Naruto's memory, I suddenly felt a terrible malice."

"That's why I had to interrupt the ninjutsu."

That malice seemed to make his soul fall into the abyss and be shrouded in endless darkness.

After being wrapped in malice, the coldness that hit his soul directly made him feel like being pierced by countless needles.

If he didn't interrupt the ninjutsu, that terrible malice would even completely devour his soul!

By then, it would not be as simple as spitting blood.

"Nine-tailed fox..."

Danzo looked at Naruto, who was still somewhat conscious, with a dark face.

Like Yamanaka Inoichi and Sarutobi Hiruzen, he subconsciously believed that the source of the malice was naturally the nine-tailed demon fox sealed in Naruto's body.

At this time, as Yamanaka Inoichi's ninjutsu was interrupted, Naruto gradually came back to his senses.

When he opened his eyes, Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen were looking at him solemnly.

Yamanaka Inoichi, who was standing next to him, still had some blood on his clothes on his chest, and his face was pale, obviously injured.

Seeing this, Naruto couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart:

"Is it over?"

"It must be Lord Sukuna who made a move!"

"Lord Sukuna, so powerful!!"

He realized that it must be the two-sided Lord Sukuna in the spiritual world who made a move.

That's why the faces of Danzo and the other two were so ugly!

He secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he controlled his expression and didn't show it. Instead, he asked confidently:

"How is it? I didn't lie, did I?"

"I didn't kill those three Root Organization members!"

Danzo frowned when he heard this, and looked at Yamanaka Inoichi with some reluctance and asked:

"Even if the ninjutsu was interrupted, you should have explored his memory, right?"

"I want to know the result!"

There was a gap of more than ten minutes between Yamanaka Inoichi launching the ninjutsu and spitting blood to interrupt the ninjutsu.

He didn't believe that Yamanaka Inoichi didn't see anything.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the pipe and took a deep puff, as if to relieve his nervous mood.

After he exhaled a cloud of thick smoke, he also asked Yamanaka Inoichi:

"Inoichi, tell me."

"What did you see?"

For a moment, Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Naruto looked at Yamanaka Inoichi in confusion.

Seeing this, Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly looked at Danzo with complicated eyes.

It was this look that made Danzo feel uneasy.

Yamanaka Inoichi took a deep breath and continued:

"I did find out what Uzumaki Naruto remembered about that day."

"In his memory... he was indeed intercepted by three root members during his training."

"In the end, he was hit hard by one of the root members and lost consciousness."

"..."

Yamanaka Inoichi described the memory fragments he saw in detail to the three people present.

This included the three root members' undisguised malice towards Naruto, and even after Naruto brought up Sarutobi Hiruzen, the root members' attitude was still extremely bad.

Naruto finally resisted in vain, and was hit hard in the abdomen by a root member and lost consciousness.

"Based on the memory scenes I saw, the last attack of the Root member was indeed enough to make Uzumaki Naruto completely lose his ability to move and fall into a coma."

"I also interrupted the ninjutsu when Uzumaki Naruto lost consciousness and the memory scene was pitch black."

Yamanaka Inoichi emphasized at last.

Danzo: "???"

When Danzo heard this, his face was full of question marks!

According to Yamanaka Inoichi, isn't it just as the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki said?

The killing of his three Root organization subordinates really had nothing to do with the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki?

He never expected that his confident inference would bring Yamanaka Inoichi with him.

In the end, it proved that the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki was innocent?

This face was directly swollen!

"Humph!"

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly.

He looked at Danzo with a somewhat ‘smug’ expression and chuckled:

“Danzo! Now it can be proved that everything has nothing to do with Naruto, right?”

“Shouldn’t you also fulfill your promise?”

Danzo’s face instantly became extremely ugly!

Of course he knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted him to apologize to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, he is the head of the Root organization and the assistant of the Hokage of Konoha!

If he apologizes to a child here, where will his dignity be?

Danzo looked at Naruto with a gloomy face and turned away.

"I never promised to apologize to him!"

"I won't let this matter go!"

Danzo knew that he was in the wrong and would only be laughed at by Sarutobi Hiruzen if he stayed, so he left without looking back.

"Hokage-sama, I'll go back too."

Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head helplessly when he saw this.

After saying goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he also left Naruto's house.

It was not until Yamanaka Inoichi left that Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a satisfied smile.

He came to Naruto, stretched out his hand as usual, and wanted to touch Naruto's head with a gentle look.

But at this time, Naruto might have known that Sarutobi Hiruzen had sent someone to monitor him.

He subconsciously took a half step back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand just stopped in mid-air.

"It seems that he has been under too much pressure during this period."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment and said to himself.

He didn't know that he had sent the Anbu to monitor Naruto and had been discovered. He thought Naruto had experienced too much recently.

The pressure was too great, and even he was a little scared.

He met the patrol team and the Root organization successively, and was accused of "murder"...

Naruto's resistance seemed understandable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said to Naruto:

"Don't worry, I won't let them trouble you again."

"You just came back, you should rest more."

After he finished speaking, he also left Naruto's house.

When everyone left, Naruto sat down on the ground.

His back was already soaked with cold sweat!

"It was almost exposed!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed.

"Grandpa Hokage..."

"Why do you want to monitor me?"

Naruto was confused and fell asleep unconsciously.

...

After a while.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood swept away the gloom of the past few days and became a little happy.

Danzo's humiliation, Naruto's self-proof...

What happened recently finally did not develop in the worst direction.

"But..."

When he thought of this, his expression gradually became serious.

"Since it has nothing to do with Naruto, then this mysterious strong man is targeting Naruto?"

"But why did he kill those three root members?"

"Also, what is his purpose for attacking Konoha so high-profile?"

He still couldn't figure out what the purpose of the mysterious strong man was.

If it was Naruto, shouldn't he keep a low profile?

After killing those three root members, why didn't he take Naruto away directly?

Sarutobi Hiruzen racked his brains, but still couldn't figure it out.

After all, up to now, the entire Konoha has too little information about the mysterious strong man.

He thought about it, and suddenly raised his right hand and waved.

"Swish!!"

The next moment, an Anbu subordinate appeared in front of him.

"Hokage-sama!"

The Anbu half-knelt and shouted respectfully.

"Go find Iruka, I have something to tell him."

"Yes!"

The Anbu agreed and disappeared in an instant.
