At home.
At this moment, three days have passed since Liuyun's death.
During this period, Liuyun's body showed no signs of waking up, and as time went by, some obvious corpse spots began to appear on his body.
That is, he was very powerful when he was alive, and the chakra and body energy contained in his body did not dissipate in a short time, which also led to a series of evolutions of the body after death that were much slower than those of ordinary people.
Three days after the death of an ordinary person, the body may have begun to become fat and rotten without being frozen too well, but at this time, Liuyun only had corpse spots.
Asuka would wipe his body several times a day, and then kneel quietly beside him, waiting for him to wake up.
But as time passed, the little light of hope in her heart gradually dimmed.
Looking at the increasingly obvious corpse spots on her son's body, Asuka's eyes gradually became empty, her heart seemed to become numb, and her whole person's spirit was rapidly fading at an alarming speed.
In the Hokage Building.
"Report, there is news from the border that the Hidden Cloud Village is gathering ninja troops, and there is a tendency to attack our border garrison!"
A Konoha ninja is reporting intelligence from the border to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Damn it, what do those damned Cloud Ninjas want to do? Do they really want to start a war?" The two Hokage advisors were shocked and angry when they heard the news.
"Huruzen, has the messenger sent to the Hidden Cloud Village sent back any news today?" Mito Kado Yan asked hurriedly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and expressed his opinion: "The people are most likely detained..."
After learning that the Cloud Ninja Mission was wiped out in the Land of Fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately sent an envoy to the Hidden Cloud Village.
The envoy brought a handwritten letter from the Hokage, met with the Third Raikage and explained the matter. The envoy said that the death of the Cloud Ninja Mission had nothing to do with Konoha Village.
Unfortunately, the furious Third Raikage did not accept such an explanation at all. After scanning the letter, he tore it to pieces in front of the messenger.
The messenger sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen has only had time to send back one message, that is, the Cloud Ninja has important information about the destruction of the delegation and Konoha.
The messenger did not explain what this information was... Because after the information was passed on, Konoha completely lost contact with him. The Hidden Cloud Village has obviously controlled him, and it is possible that he has even been killed...
"Those damn warlike lunatics, it seems that we have killed all the delegations?"
"Does the Third Raikage have no brains and can't think? Obviously, Ryukumo is dead, and we have all made sacrifices. Is it necessary to kill the Cloud Ninja delegation?"
Utatane Koharu cursed with a livid face, but then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked him what to do next.
"What else can we do? Now we can only deploy troops to the border to prevent the sudden attack of the Hidden Cloud Village."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with a gloomy face, and then directly issued an order to deploy troops.
The destruction of the Hidden Cloud Mission is very likely related to the Hidden Cloud Village. This is the view of the Konoha high-level officials. After the other party kills people, it is too easy to get some so-called evidence.
This is also why Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that there is a high probability of war after learning that the Hidden Cloud Mission died in the Land of Fire.
The place and time of death of the Hidden Cloud Mission were too coincidental. The Third Raikage's furious tearing up of the letter and imprisoning the messenger were all within Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations.
So when he learned that the Hidden Cloud Village began to deploy troops, he did not show anger, but more of helplessness and regret in his heart.
He regretted making such a big sacrifice, but in the end he might still have to face war...
If he had known that things would turn out like this, he should not have sacrificed Liuyun, so that at least people's hearts would still be there!
"Report, Lady Mito injured the ANBU ninja at the door of her house and ordered you to go see her immediately!"
A Konoha ANBU ninja arrived in an instant and reported the news to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What!!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly changed drastically, and his heart began to panic.
It seemed that the matter could no longer be concealed. He didn't know how to get through the hurdle of Uzumaki Mito. Maybe his tenure as the Third Hokage would end.
"What should be faced must be faced. Lady Mito will understand us. After all, no one in Konoha wants to see a hero die..."
Utatane Koharu said with her head down.
"Huruzen, I'll go with you..."
Mito Kado En stood up and planned to accompany Sarutobi Hiruzen to face Uzumaki Mito.
"No need... Xiaochun is right, we have to face what we have to face, and avoiding the problem will not solve it..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected Mito Kado En's kindness, and then went directly to the Senju clan.
When he rushed to the manor of the Senju clan, he instantly found that the Anbu ninjas who stayed nearby were all knocked to the ground. They all had more or less injuries. Sarutobi Hiruzen also soon saw the skinny old man who was holding Kushina's hand and glaring at him.
"Mito-sama..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and walked to Uzumaki Mito. At this moment, he was like a child who had done something wrong.
"Tell me, why do you want to block the manor, restrict our personal freedom, and block the news from us!"
"What are you hiding from us? Is there something wrong with Liuyun?"
Uzumaki Mito glared and questioned.
"Yes, Liuyun... is dead!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen directly told the bad news. After saying this, he knelt down in front of Uzumaki Mito without caring about his status as Hokage.
"Dead... dead???"
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Kushina's pupils suddenly shrank into needles, and her brain seemed to have lost the ability to think.
Uzumaki Mito also appeared in a trance, but soon she shouted angrily:
"Speak! Speak clearly! Dare to hide anything from me again, I will kill you immediately!"
This is the first time that Uzumaki Mito has the intention to kill someone from Konoha, and this person is the Hokage of Konoha!
Hearing Uzumaki Mito's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately explained the whole process in detail.
"Liuyun saved me, and I killed those Kumo ninjas. I killed Liuyun... I... I killed him..."
Kushina blamed herself with tears, and then she fainted because she couldn't bear the mental blow.
"Ah... incompetent waste!"
After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's quick explanation of the whole story, Uzumaki Mito could no longer contain her anger and kicked Sarutobi Hiruzen who was kneeling on the ground.
The kick contained terrifying power, and instantly kicked the most powerful man in Konohagakure Village to spit blood, and flew dozens of meters away, smashing a wall of the Senju clan!
