Chapter 28: Sarutobi Hiruzen
Hyuga Nàiluò was not surprised by the Third Hokage's appearance and subsequent reaction.
In fact, he was actually waiting for this very moment!
During the battle with Sarutobi Shinnosuke, it was not only the Third Hokage who was watching through the crystal ball!
Hyuga Nàiluò had also been paying attention to the movement in the Hokage's building!
He was pretty sure that just after he put his Kusanagi sword against Shinnosuke's throat!
The Hokage had jumped out the window because he had been in such a hurry!
The most important reason that Hyuga Nàiluò was willing to drag the conversation with Shinnosuke so much was because:
He had been waiting for the arrival of the Third Hokage!
Hyuga Nàiluò, who sensed that the Third Hokage was approaching, did not hesitate to send Sarutobi Shinnosuke off on his next great adventure!
(A/N- It's for the Greater Good)
!!!
When Third Hokage arrived,
He could only see the skyrocketing fire, swallowing the bodies upon the ground!
Just ask:
The Third Hokage who saw such a scene with his very own eyes, how could he not run away!
Not only was his son killed, he was turned to not even ash just like the others, leaving only the scorched wreck on the battlefield ground!
Even for the Third Hokage, who is currently not on the side of reason, couldn't help but want to kill Hyuga Nàiluò on the spot!
In the middle of the battlefield.
Hyuga Nàiluò faced the Third Hokage's angry blow and did not counterattack, but flickered sideways and evaded.
"Lord Third, why are you attacking me?"
Hyuga Nàiluò's tone made it seem as though he respected the Third Hokage very much!
He even used the term "Lord"!
Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped abruptly before he hit.
The gaze focused upon Hyuga Nàiluò.
Just now he observed around for a while , only to find:
The four bodies that were swallowed by the flames would no longer allow for anyone to differentiate who the original owners were!
In other words, he couldn't even tell which of these scorch marks on the ground belonged to his very own son!
As for Hyuga Nàiluò's "respectful tone" towards him, he simply ignored it!
He knows Hyuga Nàiluò's attitude towards him better than anyone else!
At the high-level meeting a few days ago, Hyuga Nàiluò even dared to declare openly that he, the Hokage, had betrayed the Will of Fire!
The Third Hokage knows very well how "respectful" Hyuga Nàiluò's opinion of him is!
After two seconds of silence, the Third Hokage bit his finger and said:
"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!"
With a body and tail that is covered by white fur which protrude from his sleeves and pants. He has long unkempt white hair that reached his back and long sideburns and a goatee. He wore a black suit with mesh armour underneath, over which he wears a sleeveless kimono-shirt with white fur trimmings, and markings reminiscent of tiger stripes on it, which is held closed by a red sash. He also wore a Konoha forehead protector and appeared with a bang.
Possessing a body reminiscent of King Kong, the Ape is known as one the strongest Summoning Beast!
Of course, Hyuga Nàiluò thinks that this title of "the strongest", just like how the Third Hokage is the strongest Hokage, so we should use quotation marks…
An example:
The Slug Katsuyu of the Shikkotsu Forest sometimes also appeared as a personal Summon.
Konoha Sannin's Tsunade signed a summoning contract with Katsuyu of the Shikkotsu Forest.
Hyuga Nàiluò was not clear of how strong Katsuyu the Slug Sage was, but he knows one thing:
Katsuyu has lived for more than a Millennium!
In this case, a Sages age means strength!
The longer they live the stronger they become!!
As powerful as Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara are, they couldn't resist the erosion of time and thus perished.
After activating the Rinnegan and transferring it to Nagato, Madara could only hope that one day, he will be resurrected using the Gedo Rinne Tensei no Jutsu as he had planned.
It is conceivable that the Sage Katsuyu who had even been around during Kaguya's era that was more than a thousand years ago must not be underestimated!
Tsunade's usual Summoning of Katsuyu is actually just a small portion of the original Sage Katsuyu.
No one has ever been able to Summon the original Katsuyu!
Even if some people say that the Sage Katsuyu is as big as the Ten Tails, Hyuga Nàiluò might even believe it.
In comparison, the monkey summon known as the strongest Summoning beast, like the "strongest" Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, is somewhat misnamed…
"Sarutobi, what's the matter?"
Enma looked at the messy battlefield in surprise.
"Don't ask, transform into your Adamantine Staff!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen had a gloomy face and urged coldly.
Monkey King Enma frowned.
He felt that Sarutobi has been going too far in the past few years!
This is true in all respects.
He looks more and more gloomy!
Even his attitude towards him was getting worse!
He is a Summoned Animal of Sarutobi Hiruzen, not a slave!
However, looking at the friendship between the two from past decades, Enma still transformed into his Adamantine Staff with a bang.
The Third Hokage held the Adamantine Staff with dark eyes and roared:
"Hyuga Nàiluò, die for me!"
Hyuga Nàiluò used the Kusanagi sword to hold back the Staff of the Third Hokage with a visibly angry expression. While avoiding the attack casually, he kept saying:
"Lord Third, did you make a mistake?"
"Why on earth are you attacking me?"
"I was attacked by an unknown group of Shinobi today, I had just killed them all, and I wanted to report this to you!"
The Third Hokage's eyes reddened even more and his expression became much more fierce.
"Unknown Ninja" attack?
Killed them all?
He still wanted to report this to him, the Hokage?
What do you want to report to me? That you had just killed my son?
The Third Hokage, anger and wrath just kept on increasing and his attacks grew frantic and indiscriminate.
Huh~
Hyuga Nàiluò chuckled indifferently.
His Byakugan has seen it all, the many Chakra signatures that are currently still approaching them.
It was not just the Third Hokage and Danzo!
Shinobi from all various clans and Shinobi from all over Konoha were also coming here.
All of Konoha had heard the battle from earlier on.
The patriarchs of the Shinobi clans who had guessed something would come here to check the situation!
"Lord Hokage, stop, you must have made a mistake."
Hyuga Nàiluò's tone was "sincere".
The Third Hokage stood opposite Nàiluò panting, with an ugly expression on his face.
Staring at the sword in Hyuga Nàiluò's hand, he couldn't help but be surprised!
This sword could easily counter and even damage his Adamantine Staff!
Could it be the artifact, the Kusanagi sword!
How could such a treasure appear in the hands of a Slave of the Hyuga branch house that is Hyuga Nàiluò!
"Misunderstood?"
The Third Hokage sneered and attacked once more!
"Hiruzen, stop!"
Someone yelled and rushed to try and stop the Third Hokage.
Who else could it be, but Danzo who had only just arrived here right after the Third Hokage!
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu who were a few steps slower followed quickly behind.
"Hiruzen, don't do anything rash!"
Mitokado Homura also tried to stop Hiruzen from continuing his rampage.
"The patriarchs have arrived."
Utatane Koharu's blue in the face, watching the ninja clan heads who had arrived one after another and landed on the battlefield.
Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hiashi, Aburame Shibi, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi...
Konoha patriarchs, from both large and small clans, all gathered together!
It can be said that if they set up a table here, they can directly hold a high-level meeting!
but….
The major patriarchs are not in the mood for a meeting.
When they had arrived, they only saw an angry, maybe a crazy Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu who had just tried so hard to stop him…*
