(Author's note: I didn't use Dark Release as Dark Release. Thanks to the reader for reminding me, I won't say who it is.)
Konoha's luxurious retirement home.
Konoha's two consultants, Mito Homura and Koharu, were sitting face to face, waiting quietly. The tea in front of them was cold …
As time went by, their faces gradually showed anxiety and uneasiness.
According to the previous agreement, if the operation was successful, they would be notified as soon as possible.
But now the sky was bright … and the signal didn't come.
A battle between ninjas can't last that long, no matter how strong they are!
Mito Homura's hand trembled slightly as he picked up the cold tea in front of him, but he stopped when he brought it to his mouth.
Because outside the window, the whole house was surrounded by shadows, and then the sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor, getting closer and closer!
"Ugh." Mito Homura sighed and put down the teacup.
Bang!
The door opened, and the Fifth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, accompanied by the Reylo brothers, came in. There were still traces of the battle on his clothes.
He put his hands in his pockets and said to the two consultants: "This retirement home doesn't seem to be suitable for the two of you. Please move to the 'prison'. I will send someone to take care of your daily life. You will live quite comfortably, but the price is that you will lose your 'freedom' forever!"
At this point, the two who were usually domineering and arrogant were very calm.
Mito Homura said: "Humph, it's really beyond my expectations. Under that kind of deployment, even Hiruzen may not be able to survive, but you, a newcomer who just entered the Kage in recent years, can withstand it …"
Kakashi said: "Yes, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a narrow escape, but I'm a little puzzled. Since the two of you have such a strong card in your hands, why didn't you use it when Konoha was attacked? Even if it can't fundamentally resolve the crisis, it can reduce the number of casualties! "
Koharu said: "In the end, are you going to preach to us? We don't need you to teach us how to do things! Since we failed, there's nothing to say, just be straightforward! "
"…" Kakashi didn't say much, and he gave the Reylo brothers a look, and the latter stepped forward.
"No need! We can walk on our own! "The two consultants stood up and said coldly.
Reylo looked at Kakashi inquiringly. Seeing that the latter nodded, he no longer used force. He just followed behind, guarding against the two.
When he passed by Kakashi, Mito Homura stomped his foot and said, "Kakashi, don't think that everything is over just because you've taken down the two of us … Things are not as simple as you think!"
Kakashi was silent.
The greatest resistance within the village had been eliminated … but the true pressure came from outside!
The Fire Nation was a huge system made up of hundreds of millions of people. Would they just watch as the village that they had supported for decades was given to another country?
If that was the case, where would the Fire Nation put their face? If this was the first, what would happen if the other Shinobi villages followed suit?
What he touched wasn't just the Fire Nation's cake, but the cake of the five great countries!
Countless pairs of eyes will be focused on Konoha, and the ninjas and civilians living here will not be able to reach the Anbu Ninja Country safely!
The road is long and difficult, but it will be over soon!
"I can't be trapped in the current predicament. Will I pursue the path of saving the village to the end …" Kakashi's determination became firmer, and immediately a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "Let's go to the other side!"
Asuma's house was now separated from the outside by a barrier.
The people from last night were still staying here, confronting each other …
They were all waiting for the news, not saying a word, and the atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme!
Finally, a voice sounded in Yamanaka Inoichi's heart, "Patriarch, Hokage has returned safely, and the two consultants were also taken away!"
Beautiful!
The biggest worry in Inoichi's heart was put down.
As long as Kakashi returned safely, everything would be easy!
Inoichi asked in his heart, "How is it? Did the two of them tell you about Asuma?"
"No, they refused to say anything. After all, they used to be noble, and they have made great contributions to Konoha. It's not good to let Ibiki torture them!"
"So that's how it is … I understand." After ending the communication, Inoichi gave Shikaku a look.
After so many years of fighting, this look was enough to understand everything.
Sitting on the steps, Asuma saw the two exchange glances, and he knew … I'm afraid things have come to an end!
But he didn't know what the result was, so he looked tense and alert.
"Ugh." Shikaku sighed and said with a sad look, "After all, there's no turning back …"
Hearing this, Asuma knew that the bad news for Shikaku was good news for him!
But his first reaction was not ecstasy, but a burst of palpitations, "Is that so … Kakashi is dead, he was killed by me!"
These days were also a major turning period for Asuma's heart … In the past, he never thought of being an enemy of Kakashi, let alone fighting for power with him and even taking his life.
Asuma clenched his fists tightly, "Kakashi, don't blame me … You were bewitched by the Anbu, that's why you ended up like this. When I become the Hokage, I will establish a new Konoha, and one day, I will raze the Anbu Country to the ground. I will kill the Anbu Uchiha Takeshi!"
Immediately, he patted the dust on his pants and got up, "Shikaku, Kakashi suffered an unfortunate accident, and I'm also very sad, but the village can't be without a leader, in the future … I'll have to trouble you!"
Nara Shikaku said, "No, Asuma, on the contrary … Kakashi didn't die, he came back! He killed all the people who attacked him! "
Sarutobi Asuma was stunned, "This is impossible!! I have seen the strength of those people with my own eyes, even the Hokage can't be unharmed!!! "
Shikaku's eyes were deep, "Oh? You have seen the strength of those people with your own eyes, who are they? "
Boom!!
Asuma felt like he was struck by lightning …
Shikaku took advantage of the moment when Asuma was most relaxed, and he successfully made Asuma tell the truth about his rebellion. This time, he couldn't deny it!
Crack!
Asuma reacted, he clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he couldn't help but roar, "You bastards!!!"
Shikaku's eyes narrowed, and he formed hand seals.
-Shadow Imitation Technique!
The shadow passed through Asuma's feet.
In order to prevent Asuma from using Dark Release to absorb the technique, Inoichi immediately made his move.
-Mind Body Rotation Technique!
Hum!!
Asuma's eyes lost focus.
"Partial Multiplication Technique!"
Akimichi Choza's right arm enlarged, and he rushed forward like an arrow and punched Asuma.
At the moment when the giant fist hit …
Inoichi lifted the Mind Body Rotation Technique to prevent damage.
Boom!!!
Choza's giant fist fell on Asuma's body.
Bang! Asuma drew blood in the air and fell heavily on the ground, he was seriously injured …
"…" Those who supported Asuma were hesitant at this moment, they didn't know how to react …
Shikaku said deeply, "It's not too late to turn back now, if we take another step forward, it will really be the gate of hell …"
Those people didn't have the courage to really accompany Asuma …
The crime of assassinating the Hokage has been confirmed, and Asuma will never be able to turn over in this life.
Whoosh!
The barrier that sealed the house was lifted.
Kakashi walked forward and looked at his former friend, who was now his enemy. After a long while, he closed his eyes and said heavily, "Take him away, indefinitely confinement, no one is allowed to visit …"
Asuma was shackled, put on a stretcher, and carried to Konoha's dungeon.
"Damn it … Uchiha Takeshi, even if I go to hell, I will definitely curse you to death!!!" Asuma stared at the sky and shouted resentfully.
