Naruto: First Love

Chapter 178 Danzo’s persecution
For a moment, Sasuke couldn't control his body and wanted to tremble, and his hostility burst out unconcealedly.

Huo Wu felt Sasuke's hostility and quickly pinched him hard as a secret reminder.

Now they are in front of Sarutobi's mansion. If Danzo finds a reason to take them in for questioning, they might not be able to get out.

Sasuke finally calmed down after feeling the pain in his arm from being pinched by Huo Wu.

Regardless of whether this person is his enemy or not, Huo Wu has to endure it under the current circumstances, so how can he not?

"Is there anything wrong, Lord Danzo?" Huo Wu answered stiffly without turning around.

She didn't want Danzo to know that she couldn't see him now, otherwise what if Danzo took the opportunity to attack her? He wouldn't do it in public, but who could guarantee that he wouldn't do it in private?
Danzo walked over slowly, tapping his cane on the ground loudly, which looked very eerie outside the silent Sarutobi mansion.

"I heard that the Sandaime treated you like his own granddaughter, so why didn't you go in at his funeral?"

Are you going to ask for punishment? Or use the excuse of the third generation.

Huo Wu couldn't help but curl her lips. Danzo wanted to use the Third Generation to cause trouble, as if he had a good relationship with the Third Generation. She seriously despised him.

"Danzo-sama is being too nosy. How do you know I haven't been there before? And how do you know I won't go in?"

Sasuke's heart tightened. If it was really Danzo, he was actually actively looking for Huo Wu? It was obvious that he was not trying to build a relationship, but was looking for trouble.

Danzo didn't seem to care whether Huo Wu was going to go in or not, and changed the subject, "The Sandaime mentioned before that he wanted you to join the Anbu. Now that you have been released from the hospital, it is time to report."

Huo Wu was shocked. Now the candidate for Hokage has not been decided and all Anbu members have been taken over by Danzo.

If she joins the Anbu, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
But she couldn't just say that Danzo wanted to kill her, because there was no evidence, and now her eyes were not good, everything was pale.

Sasuke was a little surprised, and probably wanted to ask her something, but because of Danzo's presence, he suppressed it.

Huo Wu still didn't look back, her tone was much colder, "Since Lord Danzo knows that it was Grandpa Sandaime who asked me to go to the Anbu, then the one who went must be directly under the Hokage. Since Grandpa Sandaime is no longer here, it naturally doesn't count. Besides, Lord Danzo didn't show up when Konoha was invaded. Wasn't he in the Anbu to preserve his strength? The Anbu is well protected by Lord Danzoime. I, a villager who is not a ninja, dare not talk about joining the Anbu."

It was not only an obvious rejection, but also an accusation against Danzo for not standing up when Konoha was in trouble, but instead watching the Sandaime sacrifice himself and many Konoha villagers sacrifice themselves.

Fortunately, there weren't many people around. After all, when they saw that it was Tuan Zang there, few people would come over.

Danzo said in a stiff tone, "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. Konoha really doesn't need such a disobedient ninja. Take her away!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke quickly stood behind Huo Wu and looked at Danzo vigilantly.

Danzo didn't even change his tone, he looked at Sasuke and said, "If you don't leave, I will take you with me!"

Huo Wu sneered. It seemed that Danzo was taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and his target was probably Sasuke.

"Lord Danzo!"

A cold voice came from Sarutobi's mansion. Kakashi was dressed in black and holding a white flower in his hand, looking even more gloomy under the gloomy sky.

Behind him was Asuma holding a photo frame of the Third Hokage, and Konohamaru who was also wearing mourning clothes.

Seeing Kakashi and Asuma coming out, Danzo frowned almost imperceptibly, knowing that he could not take these two people away today, he simply snorted coldly, walked past Huo Wu and left.

"Why are you here?" Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Danzo would lose face and take Huo Wu away.

Huo Wu and Sasuke stood back to back, turning around with the help of induction and sound, "Come and see off Grandpa Sandai."

Konohamaru snorted coldly, very dissatisfied.

Asuma knew that he was upset because he missed the last meeting with his grandfather because of watching the Fire Dance, so he didn't force him. The decadent uncle's face became more vicissitudes, and he turned and walked in, "Come in first."

Kakashi went up and together with Sasuke, they supported Huo Wu on both sides and walked inside. Asuma was a little confused when he saw this.

Huo Wu's eyes were open, and apart from the lack of spirit, there was nothing wrong with her. Asuma also didn't notice that Huo Wu was blind. But seeing Kakashi and Sasuke looking so natural, he was still a little curious.

There is a threshold to the Sarutobi mansion, but Huo Wu had already memorized the approximate terrain, and nothing seemed wrong, so she looked no different from an ordinary person.

But when she entered the hall and knelt down to worship, she did not kneel on the mat. Kakashi brushed the dust off her knees without leaving a trace.

Sasuke did not kneel down, but stood not far away and watched quietly. Kakashi supported Huo Wu, and when Huo Wu stood up, he pulled her to the side and stood on both sides.

There were quite a lot of people in the lobby at this time. Asuma wanted to ask, but because there were so many people and Kakashi didn't explain, he thought Kakashi must be hiding something, so he tactfully didn't say anything.

After bringing Huo Wu to the side room, Kakashi went out to discuss the matters concerning the memorial tablet with Asuma.

Konohamaru, with red eyes, passed by the side room and just happened to see Huo Wu fumbling with the intention of pouring tea. He couldn't help but frown.

What is Huo Wu doing? What is she thinking about? Her hand has touched the teapot and is about to reach into the teacup!

Konohamaru felt a little disgusted and wanted to scold.

But it was Huo Wu who spoke first: "Konohamaru, come in."

Konohamaru walked in unhappily and asked disrespectfully, "What are you doing?"

Huo Wu didn't care about his attitude and just smiled, "Please pour me a cup of tea."

Konohamaru felt a little awkward, "Why don't you pour it yourself?"

Although I was a little confused, I didn't ask directly.

"I'm giving you a chance to perform." Huo Wu smiled and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Konohamaru was disdainful, "What opportunity to show off..."

"This cup of tea is for grandpa." Huo Wu reminded him.

Konohamaru's expression changed, he stopped arguing, went forward to pour tea, and placed the cup in front of Huo Wu.

Huo Wu didn't reach out to take it.

"How's school going?"

Konohamaru was about to leave. He couldn't be in a good mood when his grandfather was mentioned. He paused when he heard Huo Wu's question, wondering why Huo Wu cared about the school. "It's under repair. Why are you asking this?"

"After the funeral, go and help. You are grandpa's grandson and the one who will inherit the will of fire."

"The will of fire?"

"Grandpa said, where leaves are flying, fire will burn, the fire will illuminate the village, and the leaves will sprout new buds."

Konohamaru shook his head, "I don't understand."

Grandpa had to sacrifice himself just because of the so-called will of fire? Was it because he was the Hokage, or because of the will of fire?

The Sarutobi clan's ancestral ninjutsu is also fire-related. From this point of view, he can admit that he has inherited the will of fire.

But, grandpa died, he died for the village. Was it the Hokage, was it the will of fire?
