Asuka went back to her room to sleep after she separated from Liuyun that night, but not long after she fell asleep, she felt a cold hand on her forehead.
At that time, she wanted to open her eyes to check, but her consciousness was suddenly interrupted at that moment.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she returned to her room. The so-called cold hand seemed to be just a strange dream, but Asuka felt particularly tired after sleeping, and her mental state seemed to have deteriorated a lot.
"I'm so hungry..."
Asuka touched her stomach and muttered softly. She ran to the kitchen to get some bread to fill her stomach, but she found that all the bread at room temperature was moldy and spoiled!
"Why is the bread all spoiled! And other ingredients seem to be bad too..."
Asuka couldn't help but exclaimed, and then walked out of the kitchen with a helpless look on her face.
"Wait, isn't my son going to the battle today? What time is it now? Could he have left???"
Asuka, who was dizzy, suddenly reacted only now, and was shocked.
As soon as she thought of Liuyun, Asuka felt an abnormal pain in her heart.
This pain was throbbing, and she could feel it even when she was sleeping. It felt like someone stabbed her in the chest, and it hurt from time to time.
"What's wrong with me..."
Asuka sat on the ground, holding her chest and trying to endure the pain, and instantly attracted the surrounding Anbu ninjas.
Her life safety was the top priority for these Anbu. When they saw that her body seemed to be in trouble, the two Anbu ninjas who had been hiding did not dare to hide anymore.
"How are you? Are you okay..." The Anbu ninja asked.
"Who are you? Why did you suddenly break into my house?" Asuka asked nervously.
"We are ANBU ninjas... We are ordered by the Third Hokage to protect your safety..." The ANBU ninja pointed to the Konoha forehead protector on his body.
Asuka was stunned for a moment, but then frowned again: "Why did the Hokage ask you to protect me for no reason?"
Hearing this question, the ANBU ninja shook his head gently and did not answer.
"Wait a moment, I'll buy you some food..."
Asuka had just entered the kitchen, and she might be hungry. The ANBU left without saying anything.
"Alas... I don't need you to buy me food, and I'm fine now, I don't need protection, you go..."
Asuka wanted to call the other party, but after seeing the other party leave, she had to look at another ANBU ninja.
These people are very strange. Ordinary villagers in Konoha rarely come into contact with ninjas from the ANBU organization on weekdays. In addition, it was dark now, and she was a little scared, so she wanted to let them leave.
The Anbu ninja who stayed behind just shook his head silently, then jumped onto the roof at once, with no intention of leaving.
Not long after, the Anbu ninja who went to buy food came back, but Asuka did not eat his food out of caution.
Asuka ate some sealed snacks with a long shelf life at home, and then walked out of the house and went to the Hokage Building.
She wanted to know whether her son had gone to war, and why the Third Hokage asked the Anbu ninja to come and protect her.
As soon as Asuka approached the Hokage Building, an Anbu ninja reported the situation to Sarutobi Hiruzen first.
"Xiaochun, go see her for me... Take her to see the child and tell her about it. As a mother, Asuka has the right to know about this..." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and spoke.
You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime. What you have to face will have to be faced sooner or later.
"Alas... you only know how to push the trouble to us..." Utatane Koharu complained dissatisfiedly, and then stood up and walked out of the Hokage's office.
Shortly after she left, a Konoha ninja suddenly rushed into the Hokage's office in a hurry.
"Hokage, something big has happened!"
"All twelve members of the Cloud Ninja Mission were killed, and the place of death was still in the territory of the Land of Fire!"
"What!!!"
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly changed drastically, and he stood up from his seat.
"Lead the way!!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted, and hurriedly led people to the scene of the incident without even taking the Hokage's hat.
All the efforts made by Konoha in recent days to avoid war between the two countries may be in vain...
Ryuyun may die in vain, and the pain and humiliation that everyone in Konoha has endured for this may also be in vain.
The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were redAsuka saw the scene of rushing out of the Hokage Building. She wanted to shout, but the people in front of her all used the instant body technique the next moment and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Asuka, come with me..."
Hokage advisor Utane Koharu walked up to Asuka, took her hand, and took her to a quiet room.
"Lord Koharu, you..."
She knew the Hokage advisor in front of her, after all, it was not her first time to come to the Hokage Building.
"Asuka, don't talk first, I want to tell you something unfortunate..."
Utane Koharu started to talk about the whole incident with a serious face. She didn't talk about Liuyun's death first, because she was afraid that Asuka would not listen to the rest of the story...
At first, Asuka's emotions could remain calm and stable, but slowly, her emotions began to become irritable and excited.
Utane Koharu kept persuading her to calm down, but before she could talk about Liuyun's death, Asuka felt as if she had lost control of her emotions.
"Where is my son? Where did you take my son? I want to see him!!!"
"Asuka, listen to me first, I'll take you to see him after I finish..."
Utatane Koharu lowered her head while speaking. She and Asuka are both women, and she can understand Asuka's feelings at the moment. As a high-level official in Konoha, she also feels guilty towards Liuyun and Asuka. After all, she is one of the driving forces behind Liuyun's death.
"Hurry up and tell me, I want to see my son!" Asuka urged angrily with red eyes.
When Utatane Koharu started talking about Liuyun's death, Asuka could no longer bear the huge mental blow, her eyes turned black and she fainted directly.
"Poor child..."
Utatane Koharu bent down and picked her up from the ground, and two tears could not help but fall from the corners of her eyes.
Konoha is sorry for Liuyun, and also sorry for Liuyun's mother.
Utane Koharu carried Asuka to the room where Ryuun was, and then she stared at the boy in the coffin in silence.
