Listen to advice: I, Sasuke, why should I defect to Konoha?

That pushy idiot Naruto! ! "

Suddenly, Sakura smiled and looked at Sasuke's back and quickly chased after him.

She believed that even if there was any problem, Sasuke-kun would stop Naruto, just like he stopped Gaara today...

But then again, why does Sasuke-kun believe and understand Naruto so much~~

"Naruto……"

"Sasuke, Naruto..."

Before Sasuke and Sakura had taken a few steps, Shino and Shikamaru's shouts came one after another...

Making Sasuke and Sakura stop again, it also woke up Naruto and Gaara.

"Shino? Examiner Anko??"

Looking at the people around Shikamaru, Sakura was unexpectedly stunned, not knowing what was going on.

"Sorry, we're late..."

With a few whooshes, Anko came to them with two jounin and Shikamaru Shino.

The moment the two Jonin appeared, they immediately ran towards Gaara...

"I didn't expect you to be the examiner Anko..." Sasuke's eyes flashed, Konoha is indeed short of manpower now.

He turned to look at the two jounin who had already taken action, "Are they from the sealing class?"

"Well, thanks to you for stopping Orochimaru's conspiracy this time..."

Anko nodded in confirmation, but her eyes flickered on Sasuke.

That big red snake just now must have been summoned by Sasuke!

Although it has been proven that Sasuke was trying to stop Ichibi Shukaku, how could he know Orochimaru's psychic skills? ?

This matter can be big or small. For the current Konoha, Orochimaru is too sensitive...

"Shikamaru, where are Choji and Lee?"

Next to her, Sakura watched Shikamaru chasing after him alone and quickly asked worriedly.

Choci, Xiao Li, nothing will happen to him...

But it doesn't look like Shikamaru.

"Don't worry, Sakura..." Shikamaru could see Sakura's worry at a glance and waved his hand to reassure her.

Then he leisurely turned to look at Sasuke, "We captured Sunagakure's Temari and Kankuro on the way here, and Chouji and Xiao Li were there to take care of them.

Then I met Shino and the others on the way here, and that’s it…”

"I see..." Sasuke nodded with a joking look in his eyes. This was because he was being served from the same pot...

"That's great..." Sakura clapped her hands, secretly glad that no one was injured or anything.

"Hey...Sasuke...

We can't let down our guard now, we should go back to the village quickly to stop other enemies. "

Naruto saw his friends here coming, and immediately put down Gaara and ran over, shouting to urge him.

"No need, Naruto...

The village has begun the counterattack phase, and our current task is to ensure that Gaara is not taken away by Sunagakure. "

Anko immediately stopped him. The value of a jinchuriki is more important than anything else.

As long as this is there, Konoha will have the upper hand whether it is negotiation or continued war afterwards...

at the same time

On the empty streets of Konoha, a dozen Suna ninjas were rushing forward to search for enemies...

Whoosh whoosh, several ANBU suddenly appeared to stop them.

"Don't even think about taking another step forward!!" Anbu Xiyan's eyes were cold and he drew out his long sword with murderous intent.

the other side

"Shadow Binding Technique..."

"The art of confusing the mind and the body..."

"The art of doubling..."

The older generation Ino Shikacho Shikaku, Haiichi, and Dingza used secret techniques to instantly kill more than a dozen Sunagakure ninjas.

A corner of Konoha

"Today, I will let you know what the Hyuga clan...Kaiten..."

Hyuga Hizashi looked cold and dismissive when facing more than a dozen enemies. The violent chakra instantly emitted from the acupoints to form a Kaitian tornado...

"what……"

"Press the mark..."

The people in the audience only had time to scream in agony before they were blasted back into the air and thrown away, where they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Chunin venue

"untie……"

The four sound ninjas shouted loudly at the same time, and the huge four-purple flame formation dissipated...

"Lord Orochimaru..." Jirobo and Sakon immediately supported the half-broken Orochimaru and ran away.

Tayuya and Kidomaru were on guard and defensive, while blocking the ANBU pursuit...

"Want to chase? Kakashi..."

Off the field, Metkai looked at Orochimaru's fleeing back and shouted solemnly.

"No, wait a minute!!"

Kakashi declined in silence, it was meaningless to pursue Orochimaru or not now.

"A very smart choice...

So goodbye, everyone! ! "

Medicine Master Kabuto glanced at Ma Jidao calmly, and immediately formed a seal and retreated.

"Let's go and see Lord Hokage first..."

Seeing this, Kakashi looked solemnly and took the lead in running towards the roof of the stands.

Genma and Metkai immediately followed without hesitation...

Whoosh...

When the three of them came up, the surrounding Konoha jounin also rushed over...

In addition to well-known ninjas such as Asuma, Kurenai, and Ibiki, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, was also present.

Everyone looked at the corpse of the third generation in silence with sad eyes and complicated emotions...

Chapter 81: Funeral, Kakashi's Questions and the Fifth Generation

Konoha

Top of Hokage Building

It seems that God has also felt the sadness. The sky that was clear yesterday is now like dark clouds pressing over the city...

The densely packed Konoha ninjas dressed in black were divided into two square formations and bowed their heads in silence, solemnly...

With the Hokage Building as the center, almost all Konoha civilians looked here with sad faces.

"Today's condolences are to pay homage to the Third Hokage who sacrificed his life for the village, as well as other victims..."

In front of the mourning hall, Hokage advisor Mito Kadoen recited a eulogy in a heavy tone.

Next to him is Koharu Koharu, a high-ranking Konoha consultant who is also the Hokage's advisor.

"Sasuke, why do you think Grandpa Hokage died..."

In the crowd, Naruto stood next to Sasuke with a look of deep sadness on his face.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Grandpa..." Konohamaru in front of him was even more sobbing...

“This is what a ninja is, risking your life for a mission or to protect something.

For the third generation, sacrificing for the village is the greatest affirmation of his being Hokage!

And we were the same way back then, weren't we?

It's just that we didn't die, this is survivor bias..."

Sasuke looked at the portrait of the third generation absently, and glanced calmly at the Hokage advisor on the stage.

For these two old guys who lived from the first generation to Boruto, Sasuke couldn't help but admire their longevity...

But this time it might be different!

"Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, it's our turn to present flowers..."

Suddenly, Kakashi interrupted the three people's thoughts.

As the three of them lined up to lay flowers, drizzle began to fall in the sky...

Soon, the memorial ceremony came to an end after laying flowers.

Sasuke and the three of them also followed Kakashi down to the top of the Hokage Tower, and at this moment, bright sunlight shone brightly on the sky...

The heavy mood of everyone was blown away in an instant...

"Okay, that's it for today.

You all performed very well this time! !

Naruto and Sakura are free to move around, Sasuke, come with me..."

Kakashi nodded with satisfaction to the three of them, his eyes finally fell on Sasuke and greeted him.
