Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

Kurenai closed the door and walked to the window, where rain lashed against the red flowers on the windowsill.

The flowers, which were in full bloom, were knocked off the branches by the torrential rain and fell to the ground, landing in the pond.

A pedestrian stepped on the flower and pushed it into a mud puddle.

Kurenai exhaled the pent-up frustration from her chest.

"Asma."

……

"Asma has been killed."

The Hokage's office.

Shikamaru lowered his head and reported.

Rei Amamiya sat in the chair, remaining silent for a long time.

His gaze swept over the three people in front of him.

He asked, "How could that be?"

Ino's throat was dry, and her eyes were red and swollen, like two big walnuts.

Her voice was hoarse, thick with sobs.

"During our mission... we encountered the Akatsuki..."

"They killed Asuma-sensei...but..."

Ino hesitated and looked at Shikamaru.

She didn't know whether she should tell the Hokage about Asuma-sensei joining the Eternal Paradise Cult.

Should we let Asuma-sensei die as a hero?

Or should we let Asuma-sensei live as a traitor?

Ino is torn between two choices.

Rei Amamiya pressed, "But what? What happened?"

Shikamaru continued, picking up where Ino left off: "But Rin, the leader of the Eternal Paradise Cult, appeared and resurrected Asuma-sensei..."

Rei Amamiya looked at Shikamaru and guessed, "Asuma joined the Eternal Paradise Cult, right?"

Shikamaru acquiesced.

Rei Amamiya sighed deeply.

"Does he not want to return to Konoha?"

A faint sadness emanated from Rei Amamiya.

Shikamaru pursed his lips: "He said that he is now a member of the Eternal Bliss Cult and will not return to Konoha."

Rei Amamiya didn't say anything.

Silence spread through the Hokage's office.

A few seconds later.

Shikamaru pleaded, "Hokage-sama, could you allow Asuma-sensei to die as a hero?"

If the villagers knew that Asma had joined the Eternal Bliss Cult, he would certainly face criticism.

He can tolerate it, but what about Teacher Hong?

Teacher Hong was already pregnant and couldn't be subjected to any stress.

Rei Amamiya nodded: "Of course."

"Asma died as a hero."

"That's true."

Rei Amamiya said to them.

Rei Amamiya's words caused Shikamaru and the other two to uncontrollably tear up again.

"Shikamaru, over there, Kurenai..."

As soon as Rei Amamiya opened his mouth, Shikamaru immediately said, "Leave it to me to inform the Hokage."

Rei Amamiya nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Shikamaru and his two companions left the Hokage's office.

Shortly after they left, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado continued to visit Rei Amamiya to handle official business.

Rei Amamiya went to where Naruto was training.

"elder sister!"

"I have successfully mastered the Rasenshuriken!"

Naruto put his hands on his hips and arrogantly raised his head.

Before him, the forest was a mess, ravaged by his spiral shuriken.

Kakashi and Yamato both had smiles on their faces.

Rei Amamiya nodded as she looked at the effect before her.

Seeing that Rei Amamiya's expression was off, Naruto immediately suppressed his smile.

"Sister, what happened?"

Kakashi also sensed that something was wrong.

Rei Amamiya took a deep breath and said to them, "Asuma... sacrificed himself."

Naruto's pupils dilate.

He stared blankly at Rei Amamiya, as if he couldn't understand what Rei Amamiya was saying.

Kakashi lowered his eyes: "I see."

Even though I knew the ninja would die sooner or later, the moment I learned the outcome, I still felt so suffocated that I couldn't breathe.

"how is this possible?"

"What on earth happened?!"

A red light flashed in Naruto's pupils.

Yamato immediately tensed up, reaching out his hand to Naruto as he gathered chakra.

Rei Amamiya patted Yamato on the shoulder to ease his tension.

Yamato breathed a sigh of relief. Yes! The Hokage is here! There's no fear of Naruto losing control of his emotions!

"During a mission, Asuma's team coincidentally encountered Akatsuki members Kakuzu and Hidan. Asuma... was killed."

Rei Amamiya paused for a moment.

Kakashi noticed the subtle pause.

"It's Xiao again!"

Naruto gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

Rei Amamiya said to Yamato, "You stay here and watch over Naruto."

Yamato nodded: "Yes."

Rei Amamiya glanced at Kakashi.

Kakashi understood and followed Rei Amamiya into the depths of the forest.

"Is there something else going on with Asuma's matter?"

Kakashi guessed.

Rei Amamiya nodded and said gravely, "Asuma is indeed dead, but he has been resurrected."

Kakashi paused, his expression turning serious: "Resurrected by the Eternal Bliss Cult?"

Amamiya nodded.

Kakashi's expression was complicated; he almost instantly guessed everything: "He chose to join the Eternal Bliss Cult?"

Rei Amamiya pinched the bridge of his nose: "That's right, Shikamaru and the others didn't bring him back. Asuma is already an apostle of the Eternal Paradise Cult."

Kakashi understood why Rei Amamiya chose to announce Asuma's death.

At least in this way, Asuma died as a hero of Konoha.

And so that they will not become traitors in the eyes of the people.

"Over there in Hong..."

Kakashi felt heavy-hearted.

"Shikamaru will go and inform them."

After Rei Amamiya finished speaking, there was a commotion coming from Yamato's side.

He and Kakashi immediately returned to the bottom of the waterfall.

"Naruto, what are you doing?"

Looking at Naruto, who was bound by Yamato with wood, Rei Amamiya asked.

Naruto gripped the wood tightly with both hands, his chest heaving violently: "I will avenge Uncle Asuma!"

Chapter 508 Resurrected at the Critical Moment? ??

Kakashi rubbed his temples, looking troubled.

"Naruto, do you still remember the Akatsuki's purpose?"

The Akatsuki organization already wanted to capture the Tailed Beasts, so wasn't Naruto just handing himself over to them by going to seek revenge?

Looking at Naruto who was still relentlessly pursuing him, Rei Amamiya suddenly said, "Want revenge? You can have that too."

Kakashi was taken aback and looked at Rei Amamiya in surprise.

Yamato immediately advised, "Hokage-sama, Naruto cannot leave the village..."

Rei Amamiya raised his hand to interrupt Yamato: "Even if Naruto doesn't go, Shikamaru and the others will sneak off."

"Since we can't stop them, we might as well let them make full preparations before they set off."

Rei Amamiya released the wooden bindings that were holding Naruto.

"Even with the best plan, Shikamaru and the other two alone will find it difficult to avenge Asuma."

"Naruto can test the power of the new technique on the Akatsuki members."

"That's what Rei Amamiya said."

He looked at Kakashi and Yamato: "Come with me to the Hokage's office."

The Hokage's office.

When Rei Amamiya arrived, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had already left.

Hiiragi led Shikamaru and the other two to the Hokage's office.

When Shikamaru and the other two saw Naruto and Kakashi in the office, they were stunned.

Rei Amamiya sat down in the chair and looked at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru's eyes flickered, and he immediately realized something.

Do you know why we called you here?

Rei Amamiya asked Shikamaru and the other two.

Choji and Ino looked at each other and shook their heads.

Could it be because their plan was discovered?

None of the three of them have ever told anyone about revenge!
