Chapter 560

~6 min read 1,025 words

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly.

But as long as it's a normal person, basically everyone can find the coldness in Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

Inoichi Yamanaka nodded.

There was no need for Hiruzen Sarutobi to remind him of this, he knew it very well in his heart.

If this matter were to spread, it would really cause a big mess.

"Okay!"

"Lord Hokage, goodbye!"

After saying this,

he didn't have any hesitation and stood up to say goodbye directly.

Clearly,

he didn't want to participate in this kind of thing at all.

After Inoichi Yamanaka left, Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed a ferocious face.

"Danzo! Koharu! Homura!"

"You really have ruthless methods, daring to move against my son!"

"Is this a warning to me?"

"Just because I let you take the blame, let you do dirty work, did you vaguely sense something was wrong?"

"But, why?"

"You could have chosen others, why did you choose Shinnosuke?"

"Very well, I have noted it."

"After solving the enemies of the village, none of you will be able to run!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said coldly.

Yes.

He was truly stimulated; his three 'old friends' had gone too far.

You must know that Shinnosuke Sarutobi was the only one in his heart, the future Sarutobi clan leader, and even the Fifth Hokage!

But, now.

Everything is ruined!

He fell to the ground all at once, feeling weak all over, and he instantly aged ten years.

And, on the other side,

Inoichi Yamanaka didn't choose to go home directly after leaving the Sarutobi clan grounds.

Instead, while walking into an alley, he split off a shadow clone to go home, while his main body hid his tracks and secretly headed to Nara Shikaku's house.

This, no choice!

The Yamanaka clan's brain isn't good; analyzing this kind of thing still depends on the Nara.

And the Ino-Shika-Cho three families are one; this kind of thing can't be hidden from Nara Shikaku.

Even, this kind of thing,

he thought Hiruzen Sarutobi also understood, but this kind of thing didn't have a good influence, so Inoichi Yamanaka naturally had to be careful.

Twenty minutes later, Nara Shikaku's house.

He, who was already very exhausted, had just sent away Nara Koji and was just preparing to wash up and go to sleep.

Therefore,

seeing Inoichi Yamanaka who had suddenly rushed over, he was instantly stunned.

"Inoichi-kun, why are you here?"

"The matter is complex, let's talk inside!"

Facing Nara Shikaku's astonishment, Inoichi Yamanaka didn't say much, just said very carefully.

Nara Shikaku understood instantly.

He knew the personality of his friend, so naturally he didn't waste too much time, and still supported his body to bring Inoichi Yamanaka to the tea room.

As for Nara Yoshino,

she was also very sensible and went to make tea for the two of them.

Inoichi Yamanaka could also see Nara Shikaku's exhaustion, so naturally he didn't have any intention of polite greetings, and immediately told everything that happened in the Sarutobi clan just now.

"Shikaku, I don't think it's right!"

"According to your previous guess, before the Hokage lineage eliminates the major Konoha clans, they definitely wouldn't fight internally."

"But, now?"

"The Uchiha haven't been eliminated yet, and the Hyuga are nowhere to be seen, yet they have started fighting internally."

"Good grief, hard to understand."

"The elders of our Konoha are also terrible, directly moving against Hiruzen Sarutobi's own son, Shinnosuke, who is the only one qualified to take over as Sarutobi clan leader, and even the Fifth Hokage."

"Is the next step to go to war directly?"

"I always feel that the Hokage lineage gives me a feeling that it's about to be finished."

"Should we also find a way out for the clan?"

Inoichi Yamanaka was full of conflict.

Yes.

What happened in the Sarutobi clan today really opened his eyes.

The Hokage lineage is too ruthless!

Nara Shikaku was also shocked by this.

Yes.

Meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi tonight and learning about the Uchiha and Minato was enough to shock him.

But, he didn't expect

that before tomorrow, Shinnosuke Sarutobi had also been killed?

And it was done by those three elders, Hiruzen Sarutobi's 'old friends', directly in league with Sarutobi Arashi.

This...

He couldn't help but rub his brows and think carefully.

After a long time, he spoke slowly.

"Inoichi, don't be anxious."

"I just returned tonight, I don't understand many things, it's not good to express my opinion now."

"At the very least, I have to figure out what happened between the Hokage and the three elders."

"But, no matter what,"

"before Hiruzen Sarutobi abdicates, even if we, Ino-Shika-Cho, are wrong, we must accompany Hiruzen Sarutobi to be wrong."

"This is the promise we made when we built the village; we are members of the Hokage lineage, and we support whoever is Hokage."

"Of course, don't be afraid!"

"Have you forgotten the rules passed down in the clan when we built the village?"

"Now is the time to use them."

"Our clan's Kazama is a close friend of Uchiha Jin, and even when Uchiha Jin left the village a while ago, fearing that the Hokage lineage would move against the Uchiha, it was Koji-kun who was sitting in the Uchiha clan at that time."

"Even when the Rock front ends and the ninjas return to the village, Koji-kun is ready to take half of the Nara over."

"Of course, for your Yamanaka and Akimichi clans, Koji-kun is also ready to take half over, just as a big gift to the Uchiha."

"Originally, I wanted to notify you in a couple of days, but since you are already here, I will notify you now."

"So, rest assured."

"Even if the Hokage lineage is completely finished, we Ino-Shika-Cho have a way out!"

Yes.

Regarding what happened tonight, he couldn't explain much.

To truly define this, he had to at least wait until he fully understood how many things had happened while he was away from the village.

Of course, he also knew

that Inoichi Yamanaka must have no bottom in his heart, and the Ino-Shika-Cho three clans are true family friends, so he naturally wouldn't hide this from him.
