At night, Konoha Hospital.

In the brightly lit corridor, Naruto and Konohamaru were guarding the waiting area of ​​the hall, sobbing quietly.

Only now did Konohamaru know that his grandfather was dead, and now his uncle was also seriously injured and admitted to the hospital. The little grandson who always believed that he was the grandson of the third generation was suddenly at a loss.

He subconsciously grabbed Naruto's clothes and looked up to the person who had saved him.

"Naruto-nii, you will protect me and my mother, right?"

"."

"Naruto brother?"

"I'll try my best if you don't make me angry." Naruto replied, turning to look at the heavy rain outside.

After all, he is just a naughty kid. He doesn't know much. He usually comes to bother him because he was taught by the third generation.

Hearing Naruto's words, Konohamaru felt a little relieved: "Yeah, I will never make Naruto-nii angry again."

Children will feel at ease as long as they have someone they can rely on. Konohamaru's expression was better than when he just heard the news of the third generation's death.

He followed Naruto quietly and didn't say a word.

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled outside the hospital, and groups of ninjas walked into the hall of the hospital. Seeing familiar faces, Naruto knew that most of them were here to visit Asuma, whose life or death was unknown.

The three Inar, Deer, and Butterflies families have a good relationship with the Sarutobi family, and everyone in Konoha knows that.

"It's Naruto."

The blond girl Ino put away her umbrella and looked directly at Naruto.

A happy smile filled her face, and she wanted to run over to say hello to Naruto but suddenly heard Shikamaru coughing.

Looking back, she saw that her father's face had darkened. Ino shrugged and followed him honestly, sticking out her tongue playfully when passing by Naruto.

"Naruto, see you tomorrow."

Ino's soft murmur reached her ears, and Naruto smiled back at her.

Yamanaka Hai turned around and glanced at Naruto. He saw Ino's little move towards Naruto just now. Having experienced this period, he naturally knew that this was a sign of budding love.

Yesterday, Yamanaka Haiichi heard from Ino that Naruto found a safe place to hide Ino and Shikamaru Choji. He now also has some good feelings towards Naruto.

If it wasn't forbidden by the previous Third Hokage's order, he wouldn't want to deal with Ino's emotional problems.

However, Asuma, the successor of the third generation, and the deceased third generation were of the same mind.

Sarutobi's family is now the largest in Konoha, and he doesn't want to mess with it.

I don't know what happened to Asuma. If something happened to him, the Sarutobi family would probably be in chaos.

Let's just go with Ino then.

After being stared at inexplicably for a while, Naruto naturally felt it, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

He has long been used to being stared at. Uzuki Xiyan and several other Anbu had been staring at him for several months. He finally took a break yesterday and seemed to be on duty again this afternoon.

Naruto waved his hand down the aisle on the left.

No one responded.

Hmm. Isn't it her who came today?

That's right, since Moonlight Hayate is dead, Konoha should give her a few days off.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the windows were blown open by the strong wind, and the raindrops drifted in, and suddenly the whole hall was filled with coolness.

"It seems that this window is also a shoddy project." Naruto complained.

After waiting for a while, Sarutobi Hazuki finally walked out of the ward, her face not looking good.

I guess Asuma's situation is not optimistic.

"Let's go home." Hazuki greeted Naruto and Konohamaru to leave together.

When they reached the door of the hospital, the three of them each held up an umbrella and left. During this period, her sad face never dissipated.

After leaving the hospital gate, Konohamaru comforted: "Mom, don't be afraid, Brother Naruto will protect us."

"Really?" Hazuki glanced at Naruto's young cheeks.

Naruto nodded: "Madam, please don't worry, I will do my best."

Hazuki's face softened slightly, and she smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

The smile was just an outward expression, but Sarutobi Hazuki still felt uneasy in her heart. Her father had just died, and something like this happened to Asuma again.

Just because she was a woman who couldn't use chakra, she didn't know how to control the elders who lived in the Sarutobi family.

The desires of the human heart are endless. Those tribesmen who are usually obedient may not be able to cause chaos if they are seduced by someone who is leaderless.

If chaos really breaks out, then they can only take Konohamaru to her parents' house to avoid the limelight.

Because of the heavy rain, water flowed from top to bottom on the street, washing through Sarutobi Hazuki's foot socks under her kimono. The wet socks stuck to her ankles and appeared transparent, and their shape was visible to the naked eye.

That’s one of the inconveniences of wearing a kimono, it’s not kind to your feet when it rains.

"Mr. Itachi, I found my target."

Kisame, who was hiding from the rain in the ramen shop, muttered to himself, then lifted up his straw hat to reveal a face similar to that of a shark.

After Hazuki turned around and left with Naruto and Konohamaru, he followed silently.

There are a lot of people at this location, so it's not suitable for capturing Jinchuriki by hand.

Naruto's eyelids twitched slightly. Through the reflection of the shop windows on the roadside, he noticed the red auspicious cloud suit and the huge weapon wrapped with bandages.

"."

On the other side, Sasuke, who had been working as a cement worker for a day, sat on the steps outside a villager's house to take shelter from the rain with other workers.

He was not the only genin who served as a voluntary worker, but there were also Rock Lee and Hyuga Neji who had fought in the Death Forest once before, as well as a dozen unknown genin.

The workers lamented that it would be much faster to have ninjas help repair things. Now one-third of the gap in Konoha's wall has been repaired.

This was even after it had been raining for several hours. If it had not rained, I would have probably repaired half of it today and all of it tomorrow.

Sasuke listened to their words while gnawing on his rice ball. Because he behaved relatively coldly, no one continued to talk to him now.

After a while, because the rain was too heavy, today's work was canceled and everyone went home.

Seeing everyone being picked up by their families, he couldn't help but show a somewhat lonely look.

"Sasuke!"

After everyone had left, a deep voice sounded in Sasuke's ears.

He would never forget this voice for the rest of his life.

Looking back, he saw the face that had become a nightmare appearing in front of him openly.

When Uchiha Itachi saw Sasuke, he raised his hand and wanted to poke him on the forehead like before.

But this is no longer possible.

The two are now mortal enemies.

The moment Sasuke saw him, the three magatama had been activated.

"Uchiha Itachi, I am going to kill you today."

Sasuke opened fire directly, and the huge amount of chakra provided by the devil's curse seal was enough to support his madness. He released Chidori with his left and right hands at the same time and rushed towards Uchiha Itachi.

But Uchiha Itachi didn't even plan to hide, activated his Sharingan, and quietly waited for Sasuke's attack.

"Come on, my stupid brother, let me see how far you have grown."
