“cough cough……”

Asuma Sarutobi had a painful expression on his face and coughed hard.

Knowing that he could not be a match for Uchiha Itachi, he did not try to struggle and resist.

But!

Uchiha Itachi, after all, is just a traitor!

He had previously manipulated himself to kill the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and done such a big thing!

Now, the entire Konoha might have been mobilized!

Uchiha Itachi, just one person, could not be a match for the entire Konoha!

The people sent by his father will definitely be able to rescue him!

“Guess what’s going on in Konoha right now?”

Imperial Itachi looked down at Asuma Sarutobi, who was hunched over on the ground, and said coldly,”After the incident of you killing the daimyo, Konoha should have sent a large number of ninjas to capture you!”

“……”

Sarutobi Asuma subconsciously wanted to curse, but he learned from his previous lesson and held it back.

This bastard!

He actually said that he was the one who killed the daimyo!

“You also know that Konoha will send people to capture you, right?”

Sarutobi Asuma endured the pain in his abdomen and said with a gasp:”Give up, you can’t escape!”

“Really? But I’m not worried about my own safety.”

Imperial Itachi nodded and said,”Sarutobi Asuma, think about it, are the only people who will come to find you your father? Is it possible that there are other people who want to find you as soon as possible?”

On the ground.

Sarutobi Asuma’s face changed.

“You…what do you mean?”

Sarutobi Asuma swallowed his saliva, his face gradually becoming ugly.

“If I were Shimura Danzo……”

Imperial Itachi said softly:”So, how can I handle this matter in a way that will be more beneficial to me?”

“……”

Asuma Sarutobi clenched his fist subconsciously.

Damn it!

That guy Danzo!

This assistant Hokage, the leader of the Root, has always wanted to be the Hokage!”Five-seven-seven” Now, because I am being controlled to kill the Daimyo, my father must be in a very bad situation!

It is very necessary to find me back, find out the situation, and then announce the truth to the outside world!

And for Danzo… not letting himself be found and not letting his father be implicated in the murder of the Daimyo, this is what Danzo wants!

If, later, Danzo’s people find me first, those people might just kill me directly!

“you……”

Asuma Sarutobi suddenly thought of something, his body trembled, and he looked at Imperial Itachi with horror:”Are you in the same group with that Danzo?!”

He manipulated himself to kill the daimyo, and took the opportunity to drag his father, the Third Hokage, into the water!

Danzo might be able to do such a thing!

And if that’s the case… this guy will never let himself return to Konoha alive!

“You think too much.”

Imperial Itachi shook his head and said,”Shimura Danzo, he probably doesn’t have the guts to kill the daimyo to plot anything.”

In other words, in this ninja world, no one dares to really take action against the daimyo.

“……”

Asuma Sarutobi was confused.

What on earth did this bastard Uchiha Itachi want to do?

“You can rest assured about your safety for now.”

The corner of the Imperial Itachi’s mouth curled up slightly, with a mocking smile:”I won’t let you be killed by others. Of course, the people sent by your father can’t save you.”

“What on earth do you want to do?!”

Sarutobi Asuma was about to collapse!

This feeling of not knowing what his fate would be in the next moment was too uncomfortable!

It would be better to kill him directly, that would be a quick death for him!

“Think about it, what would happen if you never show up?”

Itachi said to Asuma with great interest,”Your father, the Third Hokage, has never been able to find you, the murderer of the daimyo. Guess what will happen after this?”

Asuma Sarutobi frowned and thought secretly in his heart.

However, the more he thought about it, the uglier his face became, and he even turned pale!

If he never shows up… maybe someone would think that his father had hidden him!

And if that were the case, the murder of the daimyo might really be related to his father!

“In this situation, what do you think Sarutobi Hiruzen will do?”

Imperial Itachi looked at Sarutobi Asuma’s face with interest, and said expectantly:”Maybe he will declare you a traitor, or even declare that what you did has nothing to do with him… What do you think?”

Sarutobi Asuma’s face was pale.

This…

If his father really reached that point.

Then I’m afraid he can only give up on himself and try to protect himself first.

“no, I can not……”

Sarutobi Asuma shook his head repeatedly, and said in a self-hypnotic tone:”It’s impossible. The ninjas from Konoha will definitely come here soon.……”

“Ah……”

The Imperial Itachi smiled and said,”I suggest you don’t have too many expectations. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable when your expectations are dashed.”

“……”

Asuma Sarutobi gritted his teeth.

The resentment in his heart almost swelled to the extreme!

……

Konoha Village.

Hokage’s Office

“I have already asked Shikamaru and the others.”

Nara Shikaku reported:”Sarutobi Asuma did take them to complete the mission entrusted by the daimyo’s wife. After the three of them found the daimyo’s pet cat, Sarutobi Asuma took the pet cat to complete the mission.”

“After that, Shikamaru and his friends never saw Sarutobi Asuma again.”

After that,

Sarutobi Asuma”assassinated the daimyo”

“……Shikaku, what do you think the truth is?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen kept smoking, frowning and looking worried.

“There are many possibilities.”

Nara Shikaku quickly answered:”For example, someone controlled Sarutobi Asuma, or someone pretended to be Sarutobi Asuma, or it was Sarutobi Asuma himself… er, nothing.”

As he was talking, Nara Shikaku realized that something was wrong and stopped immediately.

Across from him,

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face had turned dark.

Just now, Shikaku wanted to say, was it really Asuma himself who went to assassinate the daimyo?

Did their Konoha’s genius military strategist actually have such doubts?!

“cough cough……”

Nara Shikaku looked a little embarrassed, and quickly said:”It doesn’t matter what the truth is now. What’s important is to find Sarutobi Asuma as soon as possible and clear our Konoha of suspicion!”

No matter who killed the daimyo! Even if it was really done by Sarutobi Asuma, it doesn’t matter!

The important thing is that they must give an explanation to the daimyo’s mansion, and they must also get themselves out of it!

“yes……”

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in worry,”So many people have been sent out to look for him, but there is still no news.”

He had no idea where his son had gone.

So many Konoha ninjas were searching all over the Land of Fire, but there was no clue at all!

“Hokage……”

Nara Shikaku used the most euphemistic words and spoke carefully,”While searching for Sarutobi Asuma, we must also be careful and guard against other people who may take other actions.……”

“?!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly raised his head and stared at Nara Shikaku.

The expression on his face kept changing!

According to Shikaku… he still couldn’t find Asuma. Could there be another possibility?

Asuma had been killed and his body destroyed!

That’s why there was no trace of him at all!

If that was the case, no matter how many people he sent out to look for him, no matter how long he searched, there would be no results!

“……No, it won’t happen!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head violently, breathing a little hurriedly,”It’s impossible for someone to move so quickly!”

Danzo, now only has Aburame Ryoma under his command!

And how is it possible for people from other villages to find Asuma before the Konoha ninjas he sent out?

As for the saying that someone controlled Asuma, and after using him, killed Asuma and destroyed the body.

But if this is the case, we should be able to find some clues about the mastermind behind the scenes, right?

Why can’t we find anything now?

“……Hokage, we should think about this in advance.”

Nara Shikaku thought for a moment and carefully reminded:”If we can’t find Sarutobi Asuma, or if we find him, he has already… If this is the case, we have to find a way to give an explanation to the Daimyo.”

“……”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face became uglier. He didn’t even know whether his son was alive or dead! (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Now he still has to think about these things!

Suddenly

, the door of the Hokage’s office was pushed open.

Hiruzen , the situation is becoming increasingly complicated.���, walked in with a letter in his hand:”This is from the Wind Country. The Wind Country and the Sand Village are questioning us now!”

First, the Wind Country Daimyo’s mansion was in trouble!

Then the Fire Country Daimyo was murdered!

And the murderer happened to be related to their Konoha!

Now, the letters from the Wind Country and the Sand Village are questioning them, suspecting whether the murders of the two Daimyo were related to Konoha!

“What does the Wind Country have to do with us?!”

After reading the letter, Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he slammed the letter on the table:”Uchiha Itachi, a traitor, killed the Daimyo of the Wind Country, what does it have to do with us in Konoha?!”

“Fengying actually threatened us, saying that if we don’t give an explanation, it will be difficult to maintain peace between the two sides?!”

“Who is he trying to scare? The Sand Village dares to jump over Konoha’s head now?!”

What a joke!

The Sand Village is not the Cloud Village!

Even if the Rock Village threatened Konoha like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen could barely accept it!

But the Sand Village, the bottom of the five major ninja villages, actually dared to be so arrogant!

“Hokage, something is wrong!”

Nara Shikaku’s face suddenly changed, and he reminded:”Now the key is not only the Sand Village, but other ninja villages may also take action!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the Hokage’s office was pushed open again.

“Hiruzen, things are really messed up now!”

Utane Koharu also walked in with a few letters in her hands, and said anxiously:”The Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village, the Land of Earth and the Hidden Iwagakure, are now writing to question us!”

Two daimyos of the five major countries have been killed in a row! The daimyos of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth can no longer sit still!

If this continues, who knows if they will be the next one?!

After the two daimyos contacted the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village, the Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage also responded quickly: put pressure on Konoha!

Such a good opportunity to strike Konoha must not be missed!

As a result, the situation has become what it is now……….

Except for the Hidden Mist Village, which is far overseas and has always implemented a closed policy, now the three major countries and three major ninja villages in the ninja world are collectively putting pressure on Konoha!

“……”

Sarutobi Hiruzen held his forehead and suddenly felt dizzy.

How did it suddenly become like this?

What on earth was going on?!

“” Hokage, we have to react now!”

Nara Shikaku said anxiously,”If we delay any longer, maybe the three villages of Sand Village, Kumo Village, and Iwa Village will use this as an excuse to join forces and declare war on us!””

Three major ninja villages!

And they should join forces, not fight separately!”

With the few kittens in Konoha now, they will definitely not be able to withstand such a battle!

“But how to react?”

Mito Kado En frowned in confusion:”Asuma that kid hasn’t been found yet.””

They haven’t even figured out the truth yet.

What to say in response?!

Otherwise…

Utane Koharu’s brows suddenly moved, and she looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, wanting to say something, but suddenly hesitated:”Maybe, you can get rid of us Konoha first?”

“……”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot!

Leaving Konoha behind?

Doesn’t that mean that he will put all the blame for the murder of the daimyo on his son!

What a bullshit idea!

If Asuma is really accused of murdering the daimyo, even if he can be found in the future, his life will definitely not be saved! He must be sent out to give an explanation to the daimyo’s mansion!

“Well… Actually, we just need to make a statement first.”

Nara Shikaku sorted out his thoughts and said,”For example, temporarily declare Sarutobi Asuma a traitor. As for the truth of the daimyo’s murder, we are still investigating.”

“In this way, when the truth comes out in the future and it has nothing to do with Asuma Sarutobi, we can then restore his reputation.”

“In this way, at least we can give an explanation to the other countries and ninja villages.”

Don’t rush to put the blame on Asuma Sarutobi.

But we must get rid of Konoha first.

“……”

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a blank expression on his face. He swept his eyes across the faces of the people present. Suddenly, he felt powerless and collapsed on the Hokage’s seat.”This is all we can do for now. Go make the announcement.……”

Otherwise, Konoha might really face war soon.

But, how could this happen?!

How could my son suddenly become a traitor?!

“Well, let’s announce it like this.”

Nara Shikaku thought about the wording and said,”Because Sarutobi Asuma has been missing for a long time and has not returned to the village, he is now announced as Konoha’s S-rank rebel ninja. Konoha is doing its best to capture him.”

“As for the truth behind the murder of the daimyo, Konoha is investigating. No matter who the murderer is, Konoha will never tolerate it and will definitely give an explanation to the daimyo.”

“……Hokage-sama, what do you think?”

On the other side,

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked gloomy.

He waved his hand indifferently and said:

“So be it”

……

At the same time,

Jiraiya, who had just returned to Konoha Village, listened to the rumors from the villagers with a shocked face.

“Asma……”

Jiraiya’s jaw almost dropped in shock:”He has been declared an S-rank traitor?!”

He had hurried back from the Land of Hot Water because he learned that something happened in Konoha.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was murdered, and it was related to his teacher’s son.

Now, several big countries and ninja villages are eyeing Konoha!

War is on the verge of breaking out!

Result!

As soon as he returned to Konoha, he heard such a shocking news!

Asuma has been declared a traitor… No, the village acted so quickly?

Has the truth been found out and it has been confirmed that it was Asuma who did it?

He didn’t dare to stay any longer.

Jiraiya quickly rushed towards the Hokage Building.

“Old man, what’s going on?!”

Jiraiya was so anxious that he didn’t even go out the main door, but jumped in through the window of the Hokage Building:”What on earth happened?!”

“……Is it Jiraiya?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen was relieved when he saw Jiraiya.

Fortunately, it was fortunate.

Jiraiya was back, and he could be more confident in facing the war threats from other villages.

However, after thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt annoyed.

“You still remember to come back!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed at Jiraiya and scolded him angrily:”Didn’t you say you were going to look for Naruto?! What happened? Where did you go to hang out again?!”

“……?”

Jiraiya was full of questions. No

, why didn’t he understand what the old man said?
