Chapter 414: Father Is Kind and Son Is Filial, Justice Destroys Relatives, Sarutobi Hiruzen Retires
Fugaku saw Aoki go from surprised to calm in less than a second, with a look of surprise on his face: "You don't seem surprised at all."
"No, it's just that I know there's no point in panicking."
Aoki shook his head with a smile: "I am the leader of the Uchiha clan now. If even I panic at this critical moment, what will the people below think?"
Fugaku admired: "Now you are becoming more and more like the leader of the Uchiha clan."
Qingzhi smiled: "Let's go, come with me to the hospital?"
Fugaku looked stunned: "Why go to the hospital?"
"Having lost his eye, Kakashi should be lying in the hospital recovering from his injuries."
"This is inappropriate. We are now seriously suspected by the village."
"Because of this, we have to go even more, otherwise it would appear that we are guilty."
Fugaku heard that it made sense and stopped trying to persuade him. He followed Aokiji and went straight to the hospital. He found out Kakashi's ward number and entered the ward.
Kakashi, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard the door to the room being opened, glanced sideways, saw the person coming, and wanted to get up.
Qingzhi raised his hand to interrupt: "Just lie down. I'll just say a few words and I'll leave."
"What words."
Aoki said calmly: "I didn't send someone to dig out your eyes. If I really wanted to dig out your eyes, I wouldn't be stupid enough to expose your Sharingan."
Kakashi smiled bitterly: "I know..."
"Second, for the Sharingan you lost, I can give you a Sharingan from the clan, if you want."
Hearing this, Kakashi showed a surprised expression. In the next second, he regained his composure and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, this eye has special meaning to me and cannot be replaced by other eyes."
"Since you don't want to forget it..."
Qing Pheasant turned around and walked away without any hesitation.
After leaving the hospital, there was no enemy. Fugaku, who followed Aoji, reported the recent events: "Recently, the Hokage plans to move us back to the center of the village. What do you think?"
Qingzhi snorted: "Ignore it. It's really boring to still be practicing until now."
Fugaku continued to report: "One more thing. The Third Hokage plans to abdicate. They are currently soliciting public opinion. Do we Uchiha want to participate?"
"The referees and judges are all from them, what are we participating in?" Qing Zhi grinned, "Are we here to support you?"
Fugaku laughed at himself: "That's right."
Qing Pheasant paused and said in a deep voice: "I'm all ready. Please inform the clan members to prepare."
Fugaku said in surprise: "Is it finally going to start?"
"Well, it's time to call it quits."
Qing Zhi looked at the white clouds in the sky and slowly closed his eyes.
…
…
One night.
Inside a house in the center of Konoha.
On a square table, there are several side dishes and bottles of wine.
Asuma and Sarutobi Hiruzen sat opposite each other.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was wearing casual clothes, said with some emotion: "It's been a long time since we, father and son, sat together and had a meal so calmly."
Asma looked like she was not stingy: "Five years or six years? I can't remember clearly. It should be after my mother died."
"I'm sorry about what happened at Lake Biwa."
"You don't have to apologize to me."
"You are still blaming me for implanting the Vulpix into your body."
"You are the Hokage, how dare I."
"I'm doing this for the village."
"No, you do it for yourself and the rights in your hands."
"..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, otherwise I won't even eat this meal."
"well……"
Asuma watched Hiruzen Sarutobi eat some food and drink some wine, and then stood up. Under the confused gaze of the other party, he picked up the Hokage's hat, put it around behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, and put it on him. , with a low voice: "Father, is this hat really that important?"
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen moved his mouth and was about to speak when suddenly his chest hurt. His eyes widened and he lowered his head in shock. His chest area was stained red and exuded a strong smell of blood.
This is the taste of blood, his blood.
"This is……"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stood up from his chair, staggered a few steps forward, turned around, his face was filled with an expression of disbelief: "Why, why..."
If it was a sneak attack, even if it was an unsuspecting son, he would not be unable to react. Then there was only one possibility.
The food was poisonous, and the weapon that pierced his chest was also poisonous. He was now completely weak and could not use any chakra.
Asma closed her eyes: "This is for the sake of justice..."
"Great justice, what great justice?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen had no idea what his son was talking about.
"...I think it's better for me to say this."
Suddenly, a third person's voice sounded leisurely in the room, with a proud look.
"Ahem..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed up blood and turned pale.
A figure walked slowly towards him with his hands in his pockets. He had white hair and red eyes, and a bit of sarcasm in the corners of his raised mouth.
"It's you……"
Aojiha's lips twitched: "Yes, it's me, Uchiha Aojiha."
"Why?"
"Why?" Aokiji's smile turned cold, he pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen's nose and sneered: "Old man, stop pretending to be stupid with me. When you killed Tsunade, you still had the nerve to ask me why?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's breath was rapidly weakening, and he realized that he would not survive tonight: "Ahem, I didn't want to kill Tsunade..."
"Shut up, are you worthy of calling Tsunade by her name?
Qingzhi scolded: "Without your continued connivance, how could things have developed to that point? Stop pretending to be innocent with me, it makes me sick."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless and looked at his son with an indescribable sadness in his eyes. He never imagined that his closest son would betray him or even stand on the opposite side to murder him.
"Uh-huh... It's so pitiful that the majestic Hokage can have such a sad side, hahaha..."
Qing Zhi mocked to his heart's content, and the pleasure of wanton revenge made his shoulders shake uncontrollably, and even the expression on his face became distorted.
Sarutobi Hiruzen:...
"Well, since you are so pitiful, I will mercifully warn you." Qingzhi said with a bad smile: "Betrayed by the person closest to you, don't you think this sounds familiar?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils dilated and he said in shock: "Could it be that..."
"Humph, the old guy's mind is running pretty fast."
Qing Zhi clapped his hands, the sound echoed, and the next second, a figure stood respectfully beside him, holding a box in his hand.
Then, with Qingzhi's eyes signaling, he slowly opened the box and found a bloody human head inside.
Qingzhi grabbed his hair and straightened his arms so that others could see him clearly.
"Do you recognize this person?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless. The human head inside was the spy he planted in Uchiha. I didn't know whether it was a bull head or a horse head, but judging from the situation, both of them should have been killed.
"Hehehe...you are still very young when you fight with me." Qing Zhi laughed and put the head back into the box.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had an extremely bad feeling in his heart: "What do you want to do?"
"What are you doing?" Qing Zhi groaned and shook his finger proudly:
"That's a good question. Well...I'm going to use everything your senior leaders plan to do on our Uchiha. My tricks of learning and selling now should be pretty good, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned pale, with a hint of pleading in his voice: "No, you can't do this. You will put the village into danger. If you have any problem, just come to me. Don't hurt them."
"I'm really touched that you still care about the village until now." Qing Zhi sarcastically said: "If you beg me, I might consider it."
"..."
Qingzhi chuckled: "I'm just kidding, how could such a thing happen?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen had never felt so desperate before, and his body was as cold as falling into an ice cave: "Asuma, why?"
Qing Zhi smiled pitifully and shook his head; as if a teacher lamented that his students were not enlightened: "
"Don't you understand? Asuma is doing it for the overall situation, because he knows that if your senior officials are against the Uchiha, there is no possibility of victory, so he firmly stands on my side and destroys relatives for justice."
"Well, it's just like Itachi back then, but this time, your senior management has become the one who has to sacrifice everything for the sake of the overall situation. It's really ironic, isn't it?"
"No, this is impossible—!" Sarutobi Hiruzen yelled like crazy. He didn't believe that his son would do such a thing: "You must have used genjutsu to control genjutsu."
Illusion?
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something: "I understand, I understand, it turns out..."
Before he could finish speaking, a dagger penetrated his throat, and there was blood. Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were bulging like goldfish eyes, and he looked at his son with a dead look on his face.
Aoki said expressionlessly: "You can go with peace of mind, I will take over the village for you, and use this as a stepping stone to take over the Land of Fire. Konoha will reach unprecedented heights in my hands." .”
Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer hear Aokiji's heroic words. He had fallen into a pool of blood and stared up at Aokiji with a look of death.
Qing Zhi dismissed it, turned around and left: "Remember to leave the murder weapon at the scene and leave fingerprint evidence."
After saying that, he left the mansion and returned to his companions.
"How's the situation?" Fugaku asked.
Aoki looked at Hinata Hizashi next to Fugaku: "Why, didn't he tell you?"
Without the clairvoyance function of Byakugan, he would not have been able to appear at the right time and mock Sarutobi Hiruzen to his heart's content.
Facing the gaze directed by Aokiji, Hinata shuddered, with deep fear in her eyes. Aokiji's methods were far beyond his imagination, and he could actually control the father Asuma killed with his own hands.
He moved his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, the right to speak was snatched away by Ino next to him, and his tone was filled with excitement and admiration: "Do you need to say that? Master Aokiji took action, and of course the Hokage was killed."
Fugaku sighed: "How does it feel to kill Naruto."
Aoki shrugged his shoulders: "I feel very bored when things go smoothly."
After saying that, the corners of Aokiji's mouth rose: "I hope the next Danzo can bring me a little pleasure..."
