The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

Early the next morning.

On the streets of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not stay in the Hokage's room to deal with documents, but instead wandered on the streets. The villagers still treated him with great respect as the Hokage.

One by one, Hokage-sama comes first, then Hokage-sama comes last.

Compared to his partners and his subordinates, the villagers who came into view had much simpler thoughts. They didn't know what was happening in the upper echelons of Konoha, and their attitude towards him, the Third Hokage, was the most sincere.

of.

Looking at the villagers' reactions one by one, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a lot relieved.

At least the villagers of Konoha haven't abandoned him yet...

while walking.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to Naruto's house.

As soon as they met, Naruto looked a little stunned: "Old man...? Why are you here?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled: "What's the matter? Old man, I can't come to see you? How about? Standing here, don't you plan to invite the old man to come in and sit down?"

Naruto came back to his senses: "Uh... no, no, please come in, please come in."

Naruto's thoughts were simple.

Very frank.

Although he really disliked the way Sarutobi Hiruzen handled things, he didn't go to the extent of hating Sarutobi Hiruzen. At most, he was disheartened by the upper echelons of Konoha.

If the same thing happened again, Naruto would probably never make the same choice again.

Disregarding his own life and safety, he came back to report the news.

As long as you make sure that the people you care about are fine and do what you can, you will be doing your best.

Enter Naruto's family.

One large and one small were sitting on their knees in front of a low table.

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Naruto didn't know what to say.

The relationship between the two parties was so tense a while ago, and I don't understand why the old man came to see me today.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was experienced in dealing with people, did not let this awkward atmosphere last too long. He smiled slightly and said: "What's the matter, Naruto? Remember when you were young, old man, I came to visit you, you were very happy, weren't you?

?

Now that you have grown up, you don’t like getting along with me, the old man?

Or...are you still angry with me because of what happened last time?"

Naruto scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "That's not it... I just don't know what to say."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Then tell me about your experiences over the years...Old man, I haven't heard any interesting stories about you for a long time. I remember in the past, as soon as I came here, you would eagerly share with me what you had encountered recently.

Interesting things to come.”

Now that the sand ninja attack on the village is over.

Naruto didn't mean to hide it either.

I briefly talked about my experiences over the years.

However, compared with when I was a child, I no longer had the excitement and impatient look, and only talked about some superficial things lightly.

Use this to lighten the atmosphere.

I didn’t go into too many details.

But as he was talking, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly said with a guilty look on his face: "Naruto, I'm sorry."

Naruto was completely dumbfounded.

The air suddenly became extremely quiet.

He even thought he heard wrongly.

But who knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "I am sorry for you. I have wronged you all these years."

Naruto was really shocked now!

The old man is actually apologizing to himself?!

Without waiting for Naruto's reaction, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to himself: "I didn't do it well. If I had looked at you properly, you wouldn't have suffered so many injustices over the years."

Naruto still sat there dumbfounded.

His mouth was slightly open, not knowing what reaction to give.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hey~Naruto, if you want to blame, blame me. I hope you won't resent the village."

Naruto exclaimed, "No, old man, I don't resent the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded happily and smiled: "That's good, that's good. Grandpa Hokage, I am already old, and I don't know if I can still see you grow up.

From now on, Konoha will have to rely on the young people of your generation."

As he said that, he patted Naruto on the shoulder to show encouragement: "Okay, old man, I'm going to leave first, so as not to make you feel uncomfortable, haha."

Looking at the lonely back of Grandpa Hokage.

The lonely back view of an old man.

In addition, the old man even lowered his dignity and personally apologized to himself.

Don't know why.

The resentment buried deep in Naruto's heart also disappeared a lot because of this.

After leaving Naruto's house.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked and came to Sasuke's house again.

knock!

knock!

knock!

Sasuke, who was at home, opened the door impatiently: "Three...three...three generations?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded: "Well, is it convenient for me to come in and chat for a few words?"

No matter how cold-blooded Sasuke was, he still seemed a little overwhelmed when he encountered the sudden visit of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage. With his mind blank, he subconsciously replied: "Please..."

Once again, one big and one small were sitting on their knees in front of the low table.

Sasuke: "Sandai, this...you have something to do with me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Don't be nervous, I just want to check on you. See if you are doing well."

Sasuke: "You are considerate. I can take care of myself, and it's no problem to be alone."

"Hey~, Sasuke. I'm sorry for you."

The same scene was played out again at Sasuke's house!

Sasuke's level of shock was not much different from Naruto's!

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "It's all my fault. If I had discovered your brother's problem in advance, then... your family would not have encountered this situation..."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen mention the word 'brother'.

Sasuke's expression immediately became serious.

Even the tension I felt just now was completely forgotten!

"That's enough, stop talking! He is not my brother! I swear! I must kill that person!" Sasuke said angrily.

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Sasuke on the shoulder and comforted: "I can understand your mood. But revenge is revenge. Sasuke, I don't want you to lose yourself because of hatred.

Don't worry, the culprit who destroyed our top family in Konoha will be wanted by the village even if you don't take action.

remember.

Don't force yourself.

If you need any help, just tell Grandpa Hokage to me.

If you can do it, I will definitely not refuse, Mr. Hokage."

After hearing these words, Sasuke stared blankly at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him a kind smile again: "Okay, Grandpa Hokage, I won't bother you anymore, lest you think I am angry, haha."

Looking at the leaving figure of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sasuke didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

But he was not as innocent as Naruto and was moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Do you believe this old man?

hehe.

Then I might as well believe in myself!

How many years has it been?

Now you come to tell me that the village is fully wanted?

If the village tried its best to arrest him but still couldn't capture the man, wouldn't the village be in ruins?

Then why do I expect the village to come?

Thinking of this, Sasuke once again confirmed his belief.

Just follow Li Yaoxiang's plan...
