Chapter 552 Reset and Rumors
"No need to say more, just reply to the third generation of Naruto."
In the courtyard, the summer tree caught the fallen leaves in the pond and waved to the Anbu ninja who wanted to say something, without any concealing the intention of expelling the guests.
"Yes, Lord Natsuki, I will report your reply to Lord Naruto." Seeing this, Anbe Ninja had no choice but to leave.
The sound of the instantaneous body technique was heard. Xia Shu took out the dead leaves from the net, then carried the net to the utility room and threw it in casually.
Sitting down in front of the eaves, he looked at the gray-blue sky in the evening and the crescent moon, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's about to start."
The sound drifted in the air and soon lost in the wind.
...
Naruto.
Naruto Office.
Anbe Ninja knelt on one knee at the desk where there were many documents to be processed, and reported the reply he received to Sarutobi Hinazon, who held a pipe in his arms and forced himself to deal with his affairs.
"Oh, that's it, I understand." Sarutobi Hitsuzaki's tone was plain, and there was only the rustling sound of the pen passing by in the air in the office. It didn't stop until a long time later.
He got up and came to the window, opened the window and slight smoke scattered. Sarutobi Hizun looked at Konoha Village in the evening outside the window, and a helpless look appeared on his face, which had wrinkles at some point.
"Old friend, you're still not calm."
However, he had already expected this matter, and what he cared about more at this moment was another thing, or another person.
On the night of the Nine-Tail Rebellion, many things hidden in the darkness were revealed, and the one that made him most trouble was naturally the Uchiha clan.
The appearance of the Nine Tails not only increased Konoha Village's fear of Uchiha, but also caused some clamoring voices to appear within Uchiha. However, this matter has only revealed some signs, and there is still time to think about countermeasures.
What sorted after Uchiha was the one that made him confused, that was his most proud disciple, Orochimaru!
As a powerful figure of shadow-level strength, Orochimaru was the power to protect the village in Konoha Village and a symbol of shocking foreign enemies. However, he did not show up that night of the Nine-Tail Rebellion. This was definitely not a normal situation and naturally attracted his attention. Although the result was not completely clear, some subtle information had already made him see the whole leopard.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again and said to himself: "The key now lies in the stability of the village, so... Orochimaru, this is your last chance to turn back."
Close the window and ignite another pot of tobacco. Sarutobi Hiruzen entered the state of handling affairs again.
...
In the suburbs of Konoha Village, a lonely courtyard sits here, and this is Orochimaru's home.
Natsuki's rash visit seemed to interrupt Orochimaru's research. When he came out from the ground, his face was gloomy, and his whole body was like a cold snake. When his eyes looked vertical, Natsuki felt a little cold.
'This guy has indeed abandoned human nature!' Xia Shu sighed in his heart.
"Is there anything wrong with me, Natsuki-kun?" Orochimaru asked straight to the point.
Although the previous refusal made the relationship between them, which was quite good, it was far from reaching the point of becoming enemies directly. Therefore, Orochimaru had no disgust for Natsuki's visit, and it could even be said to be a little curious.
"It's really rude to come rashly, but there is one thing I have that only Lord Orochimaru can help me." Natsuki said with an apologetically.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Orochimaru asked curiously with his eyebrows raised.
"I heard that you had secretly sneaked into the cloud hidden village and seemed to have brought back some special souvenirs." Natsuki said very simply, "I am very curious about that souvenir, so I come and ask you to satisfy my curiosity."
Hearing this, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and emitted a predator's aura, covering the young man in front of him.
"Who told you about this?" Orochimaru asked in a low tone.
"Not many people know about this." Xia Shu smiled and shook her head, not answering positively.
Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then stood up and waved to see him off, "It's time for you to leave."
"Sir Orochimaru, that thing..." Natsuki hurriedly stood up and said to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru did not respond to him, and before he could finish his words, he used earth escape to sneak into the ground.
Seeing this, Xia Shu's anxious expression dissipated and she sneered.
"No, no hurry, sooner or later, you will give me that thing to myself. Orochimaru."
...
In the past few days, the news of the third generation of Naruto has been confirmed. Next, you only need to go to Daming Mansion to complete the ceremony, and Sarutobi Hinaruto will become the Naruto of Konoha Village again.
This news calmed the discussion in the village about who is qualified to be the fifth generation of Hokage. People in the village could accept this result. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the leader of Konoha Village, and the Hokage who won twice in the war has always had a high reputation.
However, at this moment, a piece of news spread from somewhere, revealing the inside story of the Nine-Tail Rebellion and the fourth-generation Hatsuki Mizuno's death in one fell swoop.
This news shocked many people, but after all, the Naofeng Mizuno is dead. With some people secretly guiding them, people's focus shifted to the sons of the fourth generation.
Naruto, who was born as a hero who protected Konoha Village, was concealed and concealed by Sarutobi Hinashou, and some conspiracy theories quickly formed.
As for Naruto's other identity, the new Nine-Tail Tsukiriki, even if the relatives and friends of the victims in the Nine-Tail Rebellion vent their anger, he could only suppress and hide because he was the fourth-generation Naruto son who sacrificed himself to protect Konoha Village.
Affected by this news, Sarutobi Hinata couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he was a man with the title of Ninjao after all. After a while of confusion, he became firm in his mind.
In this case, Tsunade came to Sarutobi's house.
"The tea ceremony is something that Danzo likes. When Biwa Lake is here, she did these things..." Sarutobi Hiruzen brewed tea and poured a cup for Tsunade. As he said casually, he seemed to be trapped in memories.
"Teacher, I feel sorry for you." Tsunade stopped the teapot that was about to overflow and whispered to Sarutobi Hinako.
"Haha, people get distracted from time to time when they get old." Sarutobi Hinata didn't want to show her fragile side in front of her disciples. After sighing, she smiled and joked casually: "Tsunade, you came to me to let me play cards with you, right? The three-person card game that has emerged in the village recently seems to be circulating from you."
"I'm doing it for the Naruto." Tsunade shook her head and said with a serious expression: "There are a lot of movements in the village recently."
