30 Chapter 30: Sarutobi Shinnosuke? No such person was found!

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo growled out in a low voice, and once again grabbed the Third Hokage who was about to run away.

At the same time, he was extremely speechless when hearing Hyuga Nàiluò's words.

What did it mean when he said to ask Sarutobi Shinnosuke to check out the situation 

What could he possibly check?

Isn't he already but a black stain on the ground!

'day! Towards! Chennai! fall! ! ! '

(A/N - honestly have no idea what this was supposed to mean, so I'm going to leave it as is)

The Third Hokage engraved these words deep within his heart.

He couldn't wait to cut Hyuga Nàiluò up into more than a thousand pieces!

Hyuga Nàiluò, the bastard, was obviously deliberately provoking him!

The patriarchs next to him only felt inexplicable.

Why did the Third Hokage run away again?

'Wait, that's not right! '

The head of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku, mind suddenly flashed with a multitude of different thoughts.

'If it was the Third Hokage who had arranged for Hyuga Nàiluò to be killed today, the number of people in this assault team would have reached hundreds! '

Known as Chief Strategist and later Proxy Commander of the allied forces during the fourth Shinobi wars, Nara Shikaku, who has commanded many large-scale battles, quickly thought of one thing:

A group with so many Shinobi must have a command system and with it a supreme commander!

Only in this way can the strength of such a large troop of Shinobi be brought into full play.

In order to secretly kill Hyuga Nàiluò, in such a disgraceful way, the highest commander must have two requirements:

First, it must be someone that can be trusted by the Third Hokage! This kind of disgraceful act couldn't be known to outsiders!

Second, this person must have the prestige to be able to command hundreds of people!

'These two conditions add up…'

Nara Shikaku quickly deduced the answer in his mind:

Sarutobi Shinnosuke!

There are multitude of other evidence to be able to support this answer:

For example, he is clearly from Konoha Anbu, and such a large-scale battle had happened, but Sarutobi Shinnosuke has not yet arrived at the scene!

Another example, Hyuga Nàiluò just mentioned the name of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and the Third Hokage went straight away!

'Maybe it's not that Sarutobi hasn't or can't  come, but that he's already here…'

Nara Shikaku thought silently.

There are more than a hundred corpses here, and he didn't know which one could have belonged to Sarutobi Shinnosuke…

Come to think of it, when the Third Hokage comes back here to check, he will have to check carefully and find out which one of them is his son…

'This guy...'

Nara Shikaku looked at Hyuga Nàiluò who was "speaking in such an earnest tone" but held such a lazy gaze.

The Hyuga, are they going to fight the Third Hokage?

"No…" Looking at Hyūga Hiashi, who was obviously unrelated, Nara Shikaku said with emotion, "He wants to challenge the authority of the Third Hokage, maybe it's just Hyuga Nàiluò alone…"

"By the way, where is Shinnosuke-sama?"

Hyuga Nàiluò looked around and said with a "confused" expression:

"Why hasn't Shinnosuke-sama come here after such a large commotion has occurred? Why hasn't the Anbu arrived yet?"

The Third Hokage clenched his fists tightly and wanted nothing more than to kill Nàiluò on the spot!

Why hadn't the Anbu come yet?

The only ones who can directly command the Anbu without issuing a mission are Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

However, with the fact that the Third Hokage was so anxious that he had jumped out of the window!

Although the Anbu had heard the large commotion, they did not dare to move without the Hokage's order.

As for the other person, Sarutobi Shinnosuke who can directly command the Anbu, he is already nothing but a black scorch mark on the ground…

"Shinnosuke has another matter to attend to, he will be delayed for a while, don't worry about it."

The Third Hokage's face was solemn and stern, leaving no room for argument .

Now, even the dullest person present here could understand:

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is probably not delayed with another matter, and has already been delayed for a lifetime…

Today's occurrence couldn't have been done by spies from other villages, but by the team of Shinobi led by Sarutobi Shinnosuke!

The attack against Hyuga Nàiluò!

It's just that the assination was impossible. Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the more than one hundred ninjas were killed by Hyuga Nàiluò!

Hyuga Nàiluò looked at the Third Hokage's expression and sneered inwardly.

Before even thinking about trying to kill him, they should also be aware of being killed by him!

If he was actually killed by Sarutobi Shinnosuke the Third Hokage would only clap his hands and cheer!

Now that the one who was killed was Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the Third Hokage made this expression!

Hizuren thinks that he should only allow himself to be killed, and not even bother trying to fight back.

When others fight back, they would feel as though it's some unforgivable crime!

What sort of twisted type of logic do they use!

"It turns out Shinnosuke-sama is going to be delayed for a while," Hyuga Nàiluò said in a profound tone, "But it is also true that the Anbu's defense work is not up to par!"

"I also hope that Lord Hokage will make the Anbu thoroughly investigate this matter and give the village an appropriate explanation."

Investigate your head!

The Shinobi present were utterly speechless.

The Shinobi are ready dead, who else should we check? who??

'wrong! '

Nara Shikaku suddenly thought of a ridiculous question.

Is Sarutobi Shinnosuke really dead?

He is Dead, but not dead from a certain point of view.

It is true that he is dead and that is a fact, and everyone thinks so.

No one would say that he was not dead because no one would say that Sarutobi Shinnosuke died.

For the Third Hokage and Danzo, the group that "should" have died here today are spies from other villages.

At least, this is what the village's record of today's incident will contain!

So here comes the question:

What should the village do about Sarutobi Shinnosuke's ninja record?

Is he dead?

Or not dead!

At least in the official ninja record of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, he is not dead!

Even if everyone here knows that Sarutobi Shinnosuke had died, being killed by Hyuga Nàiluò.

However, no one would write this in Sarutobi Shinnosuke's ninja record!

After today, the commander of Anbu will be replaced, and the eldest son of the Third Hokage will disappear from the eyes of the public.

However, no one will try and look for him in the future and no one would care about where this person has gone!

Everyone present here will keep silent about him in the future!

There is no need to think about him, the Third Hokage's eldest son anymore!

This is death in another sense entirely!

The person Sarutobi Shinnosuke seems to have been wiped out from the face of the world!

Therefore, in the eyes of unsuspectining people, it will appear is though:

The Son of the Third Hokage, Commander of the Anbu of Konoha, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, disappeared!

Gone..!

He Suddenly faded out of the public's field of vision!

Even if someone were to check the ninja records of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, there would be no records.

In other words, after today, Sarutobi Shinnosuke?

Sorry, no such person exists here!

A/N - This chapter really was annoying to edit, I really had no idea what was written
