Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

After Hinata left, Naruto ran over to the snow pit where the five boys had fallen.

"Haha, you deserve it. You are unlucky."

He laughed loudly while scraping the snow off the people.

"They are so cold..."

"Why isn't it moving?" he muttered to himself.

"Uzumaki Naruto, who told you to run so far? Come back with me."

A cold male voice came and Naruto froze.

The man wearing a Chunin vest walked over and looked at the people lying motionless in the snow. His brows gradually furrowed and he questioned Uzumaki Naruto in front of him with a scrutinizing look.

"They're not breathing. They're all dead. Naruto, did you kill them?"

"Murder?" Naruto scratched his head, looking confused, obviously not understanding.

It's not his fault. Those who are responsible for taking care of him are too lazy to teach him common sense. They are happy just to give him food and drink and keep him alive and healthy.

The Chunin gave him a cold look and struck him on the neck with a knife, knocking him out.

Then, he created several shadow clones, carrying Naruto and the corpse on the ground, and brought them to the Third Hokage.

Holding the unconscious Uzumaki Naruto, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned after listening to the report from the Chunin.

"Did the Kyuubi's chakra leak?"

"My subordinates don't know."

"Go and call Haiyi and the others."

The office building, which was originally dimly lit, suddenly became brightly lit.

After a long time, Yamanaka Inoichi came over with his subordinates from the analysis class.

After injecting Naruto with a dose of medicine that would make him sleep for a long time, Yamanaka Inoichi and others began to check his memory.

In addition to Uzumaki Naruto, they also did not let go of the dead children, performing autopsies and checking their memories.

A few hours later, the sun rose.

"What? Are the deaths of these people related to Naruto?" Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into the room and asked Yamanaka Inoichi and others.

If Uzumaki Naruto, as a Jinchūriki, shows a tendency to hurt others, the danger he poses needs to be re-evaluated.

If Naruto were to be influenced by the tailed beast and become too murderous like the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of the Sand Village, his freedom would be restricted.

"Hokage-sama, this has nothing to do with Uzumaki Naruto. The person was already dead before he got close."

"What's going on with these kids?"

After hesitating for a while, Yamanaka Hai said: "In addition to Naruto, the person present at the time was also the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hinata."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but look sideways, "You mean, it was Hyuga Hinata who killed him?"

"..." Yamanaka Heiyi hesitated, "Excluding all the impossibilities, the most likely suspect is indeed her."

“But there is no conclusive evidence.”

"From the memories of the children there, Hyuga Hinata stood there without moving at all. Then their eyes kept looking back, as if they were being pushed away by something."

"He was eventually buried in a snow pit, his body stiffened, his body temperature dropped, and he died."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, somewhat speechless.

If there is no crucial evidence, why speak it out? Wouldn't it be groundless and upset?

There is already a restless Uchiha clan. He can't just take away the heir of the Hyuga clan and force himself to become enemies with the Hyuga clan just because of a little suspicion, right?

Besides, Hinata Hyuga is only three years old and has just started training. How could she be so powerful?

"Is there any other possibility?"

Yamanaka Haiyi curled his lips imperceptibly and said, "According to their memories, those kids made an appointment to play together after dinner, and then they ran into Hyuga Hinata and deliberately provoked her. Then, what happened next is what is happening now..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while, then felt relieved.

Since it has nothing to do with Uzumaki Naruto, other aspects are not that important.

"Hokage, the parents of those children have already reported the case to the police department." A subordinate came in to report.

After thinking for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Just say it was an accidental death, he fell to death."

Soon, the Uchiha police officers returned the bodies of the children to their parents.

Upon learning the news of the child's death, the group of people were heartbroken and found it difficult to accept it for a while. They vented all their emotions on the Uchiha clan members, yelling at them.

They just thought that the child was lost while playing, but they never expected that they would be separated by death after they saw each other again.

"how is this possible?"

"How could they die? They were fine when they left."

"In just such a short time, have you really conducted a thorough investigation? I don't believe it was an accidental death."

"You are just trying to get by. We want to know the real truth!"

"Unjust case!"

“You are totally irresponsible.”

"Why didn't you go out and look for them earlier? If you had found them, they wouldn't have died! This is all your fault."

Ten people, ten mouths, almost started a war of words.

The Uchiha clan members were dissatisfied and full of resentment.

They were just explaining what the Third Hokage meant, so why were they scolded? Why?

They were just taking the blame for the Hokage.

If you have any problem, just ask the Hokage. If you have the guts, blame the Hokage!

A bunch of bullies who only dare to cause trouble for the police department!

"I'm going to the Hokage building to complain about you!"

"Okay, then go ahead and complain! If you don't complain, you'd be a coward." The Uchiha sneered.

With their emotions out of control, this group of people finally made a scene in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, you have to make the decision for us..."

The two Uchiha clan members stood aside, not saying a word, with a look of gloating in their eyes.

You will soon understand that it was the Third Hokage who made such an understatement in announcing your child's death.

He was the one who wanted this matter to end here. Go ahead and hate him, hate the Hokage!

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and glanced at the Uchiha clan members with indifferent eyes.

They can't even figure out such a small thing? The police department is really incompetent!

"They did die accidentally." Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

"That's impossible, it won't happen..."

"Hokage-sama will not lie, they died accidentally." Shimura Danzo pushed the door open and walked in, smiling and saying, "Uzumaki Naruto can testify."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows suddenly frowned.

When the villagers heard the name "Uzumaki Naruto", they began to have wild fantasies.

Uzumaki Naruto... Demonic fox... Monster... Misfortune...

Chapter 16 016 War Vote

"Last night, Uzumaki Naruto happened to pass by the place where they were playing. When they got into trouble, Uzumaki Naruto happened to see it."

"I understand your grief over losing your loved ones, but unfortunately, things are unpredictable and accidents happen from time to time," said Danzo Shimura calmly.

He didn't mention Uzumaki Naruto's faults, but every word he said was leading others to think about Uzumaki Naruto's faults.

The two Uchiha clan members had no expression on their faces, but they felt disdainful of this behavior in their hearts.

Poor little nine-tailed devil, he is going to be used as a target to divert hatred again.

"Hokage-sama, is this related to Uzumaki Naruto?" a villager asked loudly.

"It has nothing to do with him." Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could say anything, Shimura Danzo replied.

"It has nothing to do with him." Sarutobi Hiruzen repeated.

With the explanation from the village's number one and number two leaders, the villagers dared not make trouble anymore, but in their hearts, they already resented Uzumaki Naruto.

Maybe the children were frightened by the little fox demon, which is why the accident happened...

If he could find someone to help in time, those children wouldn't have died...

In their eyes, Uzumaki Naruto is a disaster that will harm others.

The rumors in the village are all true, you must never get close to him!

When only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were left in the room, he asked Shimura Danzo, "Why did you mention Naruto?"

"Isn't this the truth? Why don't you dare let others know?" Shimura Danzo showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless: "..."

"Hiruzen, you are too indulgent with Naruto. If you put him somewhere unknown, this would never happen and no one would know about him."

"No one will have any emotion towards a stranger, no love, let alone hatred, and his life will be peaceful."

"Don't say any more." Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted.

Would he not understand what Danzo meant? In the final analysis, he just wanted to recruit Naruto into the Root.

Shimura Danzo shrugged and stopped talking about this topic. He asked, "Huruzen, how is the situation in Kumogakure going?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but look up at him.

Does this guy really want war?

"We have been communicating with the Hidden Cloud Village," he said.

"Communication?" Shimura Danzo scoffed. "Do you mean peace can be begged for? With your attitude, are you telling them that the people of Konoha can be bullied?"

The cause of death of the frontline ninjas had long been known; it was done by the Fifth Raikage, a wooden man.

The Cloud Ninjas did not deny it, nor did they feel despicable. Instead, they felt it was extremely honorable and worth showing off, and therefore were extremely proud.

This attitude really pissed off many people in Konoha.

Unfortunately, because the village had not made its position clear, they only dared to curse in private.

After Danzo Shimura left, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed silently.

A few hours later, Uzumaki Naruto woke up quietly. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Sarutobi Hiruzen staring at him blankly.

"Third generation grandfather, why am I here?"

Without answering this question, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly and said, "Naruto, don't run around randomly anymore..."

Naruto didn't understand why, but nodded in agreement.

On the way back, Naruto found that the passers-by looked at him more sharply, with deeper disgust in their eyes.

Once something happens among these villagers, they will quickly pass the news to each other.

Therefore, they also knew about the death of the five children, and became more wary of Naruto and harbored hatred towards him.

Naruto lowered his head dejectedly, avoiding everyone's gaze and walked past them.

In the days that followed, he had no idea what was going on and felt heartbroken and even more upset.

"Why, there are more and more people with scary eyes in the village..." he murmured.

At night, Hinata Yangxi was still flipping through various scrolls.

"Medical ninjutsu is also a manifestation of the change in the nature of Yang attributes, but many medical ninjutsu stimulate cell division and regeneration to heal wounds. This is not what I imagined..."

"Could it be that the recorded medical ninjutsu is too low-level..."

"Someone is watching here." Kaguya suddenly spoke.
