Chapter 121

Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face stiffened, but with his thick skin, he quickly became calm and composed, continuing to maintain a chrysanthemum-like smile.

At the same time, the Third Hokage's words reached the ears of the Konoha villagers, who were a bit confused.

Land of Whirlpools? Isn't that Konoha's ally since ancient times?

Although the villagers understand the form of the Ninja World, they don't know some inside stories.

Especially regarding the dirty things in Konoha, the Konoha high-level officials are even less likely to let them know.

Otherwise, wouldn't Konoha's glorious image be shattered?

Therefore, the Konoha villagers didn't know that Konoha was treacherous, took advantage of the fire to rob, took away the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques, and even wanted to make the Uzumaki Clan people become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

So, when the Third Hokage said this, they really thought the Land of Whirlpools was here to be a guest.

Only...

Is this way of being a guest a bit too sudden?

And, what's going on with the ninja lords who just flew backward?

Since the Land of Whirlpools is here to be a guest, why did the ninjas want to evacuate them?

Also, why are these ninja lords looking so solemn?

But soon, they knew why these Konoha ninjas had this posture.

Rukia Kuchiki looked around at everyone in Konoha and finally set her gaze on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
