Chapter 116 Naruto: Where did Sasuke go?
This caused him to faint from hypoglycemia. He was told to eat properly in the future and not to always eat instant noodles. Although he didn't quite understand, Naruto knew that Granny Tsunade cared about him. Hmm, it felt warm. Just like the Third Hokage, Granny Tsunade and Lord Jiraiya are both good people.
But it wasn't that he wanted to eat instant noodles; from childhood to adulthood, no one had ever cared what he ate, except for instant noodles and ramen.
He didn't know what to eat to avoid low blood sugar, and for some reason, he felt there was something wrong with what Granny Tsunade and the others were saying. Did he really faint because of low blood sugar? He had felt perfectly fine before.
He did not feel any discomfort before he lost consciousness!
And what about Sasuke?
Where did Sasuke go?
......
At the entrance to Konoha village, Naruto stood quietly on a tree, looking towards the place where Konoha had once been. Since he woke up, he had never seen Sasuke again. He asked around the village, even finding Granny Tsunade, but they all said they didn't know anything.
During this time, perhaps because of his loneliness, he became friends with Sasuke, and he had come to accept Sasuke from the bottom of his heart!
But now, Sasuke is gone!
Uchiha Tsukuyomi, Shimura Danzo, the Third Hokage—
Even now, Naruto doesn't understand why the village suddenly became like this. Everything was fine before, but suddenly it changed. Many people died, even the Third Hokage. The Uchiha clan was also wiped out. It's said that it was because of Shimura Danzo. He attacked the Uchiha clan and wanted to destroy them, which is why things turned out this way.
Naruto couldn't understand it. His grandfather, the Third Hokage, had clearly said that as comrades in the village, everyone should love and care for each other, protect the village, and protect their comrades. This was the Will of Fire, something he had heard since childhood. So, even though not everyone in the village liked him, and some even insulted him, making him feel uncomfortable, he silently endured it when he thought of the Third Hokage's teachings and that the other person was also a comrade in the village. Because this was the Will of Fire!
But the Uchiha clan are also comrades in the village, so why did Danzo Shimura hurt them?
I've heard that Shimura Danzo is a great figure second only to the third generation of his grandfather. Shouldn't such a great figure have an incredibly strong Will of Fire within him? Shouldn't he cherish his fellow villagers? Shouldn't he love and respect them as if they were family?
Why would he harm his own comrades in the village? In fact, it wasn't just the Uchiha clan; before Naruto lost consciousness, he heard someone say that Shimura Danzo, the strongest person after the Hokage, had even harmed other villagers, capturing them for human experimentation, and even seemingly attempting to assassinate the Hokage. "Why has the village become like this? And Sasuke, where did you go? Did you leave the village to go find Uchiha Tsuki?"
Naruto was somewhat confused. He felt that perhaps this was the truth. He wanted to find Sasuke. If it were before, he would definitely do so, but now—he didn't know what to do.
Do we really need to bring Sasuke back?
The Third Hokage always said that Konoha, with its Will of Fire, was a village where everyone understood and helped each other. Although there were always people who disliked him, he always kept the Third Hokage's words in mind and naively believed that there was no darkness in the village. But now, is the Will of Fire really as the Third Hokage described?
If he finds Sasuke, will Sasuke really be happy, or even safe in Konoha?
Even though Shimura Danzo is dead, can the other people in the village be trusted?
Why did the Third Hokage, as the Hokage, allow someone like Danzo Shimura to exist? Is this what they call the Will of Fire?
He thought of Jiraiya, that white-haired uncle. He always felt that the uncle wasn't a good person; the way he looked at him made him feel vaguely uncomfortable.
So, where exactly did things go wrong? At this moment, Naruto didn't know that Sasuke was already dead, and that his death was meaningless. He was used as a sacrifice from the very beginning and died. He never had any hypoglycemia or any other illness. He was simply knocked out and used as a battery to have the Nine-Tails' chakra extracted from his body.
For the sake of the village, whether he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki or the Fourth Hokage's son is no longer important. What matters is the power within him. Now, no one really cares about Naruto's thoughts. In their eyes, Naruto's existence is merely a battery used to provide chakra.
If Jiraiya had needed Naruto instead of Sasuke, he probably would have sent his disciple's son in without hesitation, all to obtain Uchiha Tsuki's eyes.
Inside Naruto's body, in the sealed prison.
The Nine-Tails lay weakly inside. During this time, its chakra had been drained like water. If it weren't a tailed beast, it would have been drained to death by now. It was really too much.
"That brat. —Haha—I saw him—"
Suddenly, Kurama paused slightly. He sensed confusion in Naruto's heart, a chaotic and uncertain emotion brewing within him. He immediately understood why Naruto had become like this.
"Heh heh, it seems it's time to show you the darkness of Konoha! Naruto!"
Nine-Tails laughed immediately. Unlike Naruto, Nine-Tails was fully conscious throughout. When they were extracting his chakra and monitoring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Jiraiya and the others didn't hold back and directly told him their plan.
At first, he was only focused on his anger and ignored the darkness within Konoha, but now—heh—
And now, his opportunity has arrived.
"Still no news? We can't delay any longer. Uchiha Tsukuyomi's power is growing stronger and stronger. We must gather the strength of the entire ninja world to kill him! Otherwise, the Land of Fire will be finished!"
In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya paced anxiously back and forth.
"Jiraiya, don't be impatient. The letter was only sent a short while ago, how could there be a reply so quickly? Let's wait a little longer!"
"Furthermore, the other villages, just like us before, are all trying to kill Uchiha Tsuki and steal his eyes."
They had absolutely no idea how terrifying Uchiha Tsuki was!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's head rested on the desk, watching Jiraiya walk back and forth, offering him comfort.
"Phew—you're right, teacher!"
