Chapter 554

As soon as Sarutobi Arashi walked in, he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi with a livid face and cold eyes.

"Clan Leader." Sarutobi Arashi bowed, his body trembling slightly: "I don't know what instructions you have, I..."

However, it was a pity.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted directly by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Tonight, why did Homura Mitokado look for you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was cold.

Now that his son's fate was unknown, he had no interest in chatting with Sarutobi Arashi.

Now,

he only wanted to know the situation of Shinnosuke Sarutobi, whether he was dead or alive...

He didn't care about other things at all.

One sentence, pointing straight to the core.

Sarutobi Arashi: "..."

He was stunned.

This matter was clearly very confidential, how did Hiruzen Sarutobi know everything?

However, he knew.

He also knew he couldn't refute it; since the other party dared to ask like this, it proved they had solid evidence.

But, what excuse should he use?

His brain began to run frantically, but he didn't pause in his speech, and immediately bowed and spoke.

"Clan Leader!"

"Elder Mitokado tried to win me over, but I rejected him directly."

"I told him I don't participate in the village's affairs, I am only responsible for the internal affairs of the Sarutobi clan!"

Sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

But he still answered quickly, fearing that if he pondered for a moment, he would be discovered.

However,

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became increasingly gloomy.

He lit a pipe of tobacco, puffed away for a while, and then spoke in a chilling tone.

"Sarutobi Arashi, I am giving you one last chance."

"I don't care to ask about other things, you just need to answer one question for me."

"Is Shinnosuke still alive?"
