Naruto: First Love

Chapter 172 Blindness
Witnessing the death of the Third Hokage with his own eyes, Orochimaru's expression did not fluctuate at all, as if he was looking at a stranger.

However, the look in the Third Hokage's eyes before he died was the same as when he first taught them ninjutsu many years ago, with no expectation of change.

Orochimaru couldn't help but feel the irony.

Sarutobi-sensei, you're already dead, what else do you want to expect?
Do you hope that Jiraiya, whom you value so much, can defeat me?
Do not make jokes!
Will of Fire? What is that? You are the only one who is foolish enough to still believe in the Will of Fire. The Will of Fire did not save you. You died, under my ninjutsu!
But...why, I don't feel happy?

Orochimaru tried to raise his cold hands, but ultimately failed.

"go!"

The four people behind him responded and helped Orochimaru leave.

How could Kakashi do what they wanted? He snorted coldly, "Orochimaru, stop!"

Chased him.

The ANBU members seemed to come alive at this point and followed Kakashi in chasing after Orochimaru.

How could Orochimaru let them catch him?

The four Sound Ninjas around him were extremely fast and had planned it in advance. Except for Kakashi who caught up with him, only Gai and Gekko Hayate were left to catch up.

Three people cannot form an encirclement.

But after all, all three of them were elite jonin.

Kakashi knew that Huo Wu had injured the female ninja, so all his attacks were directed in the direction of that female ninja.

Sure enough, after only two attacks, the female ninja was hit.

The four snakes decisively gave up on her and left.

Kakashi frowned. As expected of Orochimaru, he was a cold-blooded animal.

However, he is just a subordinate, and Huo Wu also said that this subordinate is not to be feared. The important ones are Orochimaru and Kabuto.

Kabuto was originally fighting with Jiraiya, but Jiraiya disappeared, and so did Kabuto.

Although Kakashi was a little confused, he remained calm and thought that something important must have happened while they were away.
It’s just a pity, Sandaime.

"Since you're in Konoha, do you still want to escape?" Kai kicked his feet and rushed forward.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru and his men turned around and headed for the entrance of Konoha Village. Kai rushed over and hit the wall directly.

At this time, even the female ninja chased after him.

Moonlight Gale coughed twice, and in a hurry, he threw his sword out, hitting Orochimaru's right shoulder directly.

Orochimaru didn't seem to feel the pain. He turned his head and glanced at Kakashi, smiling sinisterly: "Huo Wu, Sasuke, they will come!"

It would have been fine if he had just mentioned Sasuke, but Orochimaru mentioned Fire Dance, which made Kakashi break out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that Orochimaru already knew that Huo Wu had opened the Sharingan and was trying to find a way to get rid of Huo Wu?
However, Sasuke has a darker heart than Huo Wu and is easy to be exploited, but Huo Wu is different.

Huo Wu is very smart, how could she be easily exploited?
She sees things more clearly than Orochimaru and even knows what Orochimaru is thinking. So why would Orochimaru want to take Huo Wu away?
Even though he thought so, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

"What should we do now?" Moonlight Gale rushed to his side, looking at the few people who had already left, his face not looking good.

"Go and find out about Jiraiya, Hayate, you can mobilize some of the Anbu people, right? Talk to her about Yugao, be careful of Danzo." Kakashi calmed down, his face was cold, and there was a faint light in his dead fish eyes.

I clearly asked Jiraiya to help, but now Jiraiya is missing?
Kakashi always wants to know where Jiraiya went, what he did, and why he didn't save the Third Hokage.

He was more aware that this idea was to give Huo Wu an explanation.

Kai felt a little regretful. Not only did he fail to catch up with those people, he also felt regretful about the death of the third generation.

But, I’m afraid there are still many people who don’t know this?

……

Konoha Hospital was the busiest place that day. Kakashi left the hospital less than half an hour ago and returned to the hospital again.

When Huo Wu woke up, it was very noisy outside.

It was pitch black all around, and if it weren't for the noise outside, she would have thought she was in some enclosed space.

"The Sandaime is dead, who will be the next Hokage?"

"The Sandaime couldn't defeat Orochimaru..."

"Isn't it said that the Sandaime is Orochimaru's teacher? How come he can't beat Orochimaru? It's a bit unworthy of the title."

"How can you talk like that! The Sandaime died for Konoha!"

"Humph, Orochimaru should have died many years ago. It was the Sandaime who let him go. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the Orochimaru we have today!"

"Orochimaru was the Sandaime's student. The Sandaime just couldn't bear it. Those who sacrificed for Konoha are the real heroes!"

"That's right! The Sandaime represents the will of fire, and we need to pass it on!"

"Alas, Konoha can't stand so much wind and rain now..."

Huo Wu, who was still a little confused, was suddenly awakened by the discussions outside.

The third generation grandfather... is dead?
How could this happen? Didn't we ask Jiraiya to help? Couldn't Jiraiya even handle Kabuto?
Destiny is still following its predetermined trajectory. Is it impossible to change it?

But obviously, if they could save Gekko Gale, why couldn't they save the Sandaime? Oh, and what about Kakashi? How is he?
That kind old man, the one who always had a cigarette butt in his mouth and treated her as a relative, is he really dead?
Huo Wu hurriedly got up from the bed, but couldn't see her shoes, and frowned slightly.

Is the weather bad? There's not even a moon outside.

Moreover, even if no one was there, at least turn on the lights. She remembered that the light switches in the hospital wards were all at the door.

"Squeak~"

Just then, the door opened and footsteps were heard.

The footsteps sounded heavy. It was a man who was probably injured, so he couldn't control his steps.

The bed was not far from the door, and the man walked over slowly. Huo Wu felt something strange. When she was about to speak, she felt the man's breath. It was Kakashi.

"Kakashi?" His eyes fell on the direction Kakashi came from. It was still dark, and he immediately complained, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

Kakashi was wearing a hospital gown, standing in front of the bed. He was watching Huo Wu wake up, but she didn't say anything, thinking that she was sad about the death of the Third Hokage. He was planning to think carefully and explain to Huo Wu, when he heard Huo Wu ask.

I looked up silently and looked at the bright lights above my head, and my heart began to sink.

Sitting on the bed, Kakashi grabbed Huo Wu's body and pressed it against his chest.

A dull atmosphere came, and Huo Wu could feel that Kakashi's breathing was a little heavy. She suspected that Kakashi was upset because of the death of the third generation, and couldn't help but comfort him, "I already know about the third generation's grandfather. I thought I could save him..."

"Yeah." Kakashi responded with a dull sound, and then he felt a little distressed, "Your eyes, because of excessive use of the Sharingan... are temporarily blind."

"blindness……"

Huo Wu's heart trembled, and she suddenly understood.

So that’s it. It’s not that the lights were off, but that I couldn’t see.
