The ninja's eyes still seemed to have a hint of disbelief in them as he said with a trembling tone, "But they were all killed!"
"They were all killed?", Hiruzen's face froze abruptly, and with a shocked expression, he said, "Who exterminated them?"
"Naito and Might Duy!", the ninja seemed not to believe his own words.
Click!
The documents in Hiruzen's hands fell on the table the moment he heard these two names.
And the body of Uchiha Kageyama, who had already taken a step out of the Hokage's office, froze instantly.
The other foot, as if glued to the ground, was rigidly unable to take another step.
Hiruzen sat there, frozen, still in shock at what he had just heard, but still quickly pulled himself together and said, "What about Naito and Duy?"
The ninja replied, "They just got back."
Crack!
Uchiha Kageyama's chakra went out of control, and the next step he took destroyed the ground beneath his feet, the expression he had could not be described in words.
Then, with a cold stare, he left the place.
"This...," The ninja looked at Uchiha Kageyama with a strange expression.
Wasn't that the patriarch of the Uchiha clan?
How could he do something like that, how could he destroy the floor of the Hokage's office?
He was too audacious!
The ninja looked at Hiruzen and said, "Hokage-sama, isn't Uchiha Kageyama too rude?"
"It's okay, you can go," Hiruzen forced himself to keep a calm expression and waved his hand towards the ninja as a sign that he was allowing him to leave.
The ninja immediately shut up, that's how ninja were, they don't mention much about things they shouldn't, and naturally he wasn't going to ask what was going on, even though he was shocked, he simply turned around and walked away.
However, the next moment, Hiruzen reacted sharply and called out to the ninja, saying, "Stop! Come back here and tell me everything in detail!".
The ninja immediately stepped back and told him everything, from the beginning to the end.
The moment Naito and Duy came back, handed over the mission, took out a bunch of heads and then identified them.
Everyone was shocked in the Mission Hall.
They felt that this matter is too unbelievable and should be reported to the Hokage.
"What, did Might Duy.... really managed to open Seven of the Eight Gates of the Hachimon Tonko?", Hiruzen said that with a great surprise on his face.
This time he truly lost his composure.
As genius as Naito was, he was nothing more than a child who hadn't grown up in Hiruzen's eyes and wasn't much use for the immediate future.
But Might Duy was a different case.
A guy like him who could open the Seventh Gate of the Hachimon Tonko could change the course of a great battle!
This talent was hard to find!
"Eternal Genin?", that was nothing but bullshit.
"Summon Might Duy here immediately!"
"Yes."
....
Naito and Might Duy just completed the mission, but Duy received a summons from the Hokage.
Naito did not accept the payment for the mission and gave it all to Might Duy.
Duy was very embarrassed. Although he killed the squad captain, Naito's effort to kill all the other ninja was also a big deal.
However, Naito gave him all the credit.
When he wanted to force Naito to take a part of the reward, the Hokage called him.
Naito gave a faint smile of deep meaning to Might Duy before running off.
Might Duy was too stunned to chase after him, so he accepted the payment gratefully and headed for the Hokage's Office.
After parting ways with Might Duy, Naito ran at full speed for a few streets before slowing down.
As he walked through the streets of Konoha, Naito could feel the tension in the air.
The civilians of Konoha always looked very happy and calm, but right now, they looked very worried and nervous.
The Second Ninja World War seemed to be imminent, and even the civilians began to feel very tense.
The sword he took from Uchiha Tsuki was not confiscated.
But the sword had no scabbard.
The material of the scabbard was not as good as the steel of the sword, so it was affected by Naito's Jutsu.
With the sword in hand, Naito went to the Anbu department to order a new scabbard.
This time, the cold-hearted Anbu in charge of the place couldn't help but show a surprised look the moment Naito handed him the sword, "Isn't this sword..."
Uchiha Tsuki, as one of the Deputy Captains of the Konoha Military Police, was someone very famous in Konoha.
Everyone in the Anbu department knew about this sword, so he knew a few things too.
Naito calmly looked at the Anbu and said, "Is there a problem?"
Even after everything that happened, Naito didn't fear the Uchiha Clan, as long as he doesn't get into a fight with one of those monsters like Uchiha Madara, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
If he could go one step further and open the Third Gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko, he would have nothing to fear from even an Elite Jounin of the Uchiha Clan with the Sharingan with three tomoe.
Even if they could see through his movements, all he needed was to open the Third Gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko Hachimon, AND he would only need one strike to kill them all!
"Nothing," The Anbu was very confused, but he took a deep breath and then suppressed his emotions.
The rules of the Anbu department were very strict, don't ask too many questions, don't worry too much, so he simply said, "This sword is made of good material, but it seems to be showing signs of damage now.... It will take some time to repair it and create a new scabbard."
"Well, I'll come get it when it's done."
"Sure."
The Anbu nodded his head and then picked up the sword.
In the process, he couldn't help but look at Naito once again.
The sword was damaged, plus it was now in Naito's hands? And even though Naito was wearing a mask, he had a good guess as to Naito's identity.
In the Anbu department, Naito's reputation was definitely not low, and the conflicts he has with the Uchiha Clan are well known.
The Anbu's eyes suddenly widened as he thought of something somewhat unbelievable.
Naito... had killed Uchiha Tsuki and snatched the sword from him!!!
Why else would there not be a sheath?
It had broken, of course!
Though the shock the ninja felt was overwhelming and he felt like he was dreaming.
However, it wasn't strange that he could think of that, after all, incredible things always happen around Naito, the fact that he can eliminate all Anbu candidates was simply unbelievable.
This incident, although it felt almost unrealistic, seems? understandable when it comes to Naito, who usually performs miracles.
Due to his deep thoughts, he was distracted for a long time, and when he woke up, Naito was no longer there.
He did not know when Naito left.
The Anbu disappeared from the room while muttering, "What a scary guy... I wonder how far he can grow."
