Hiruzen had no time to think about why Eaton had returned to Konohagakure. Now, he found that the situation was gradually out of his control. He was a little confused.
"Yes."
Shikaku nodded. After that, he left the office and walked out. His face was slightly complicated. Even he did not know why these two people suddenly came back.
According to the calculations at this time!
Shouldn't they have just arrived at the front line not long ago?
Did something happen at the front?
Question marks popped up on Shikaku's head. He did not say these questions, but he was already thinking about these questions in his mind.
After all...
This involved something that he found strange.
...At this moment.
Aoba and Eaton were waiting outside the Hokage Building.
Aoba's face was indifferent, and there were almost no emotional fluctuations. He looked like an emotionless ninja.
As for Eaton...
He was not as calm as Aoba.
Although he came here in name to see Hiruzen, he was extremely nervous and did not know how to face Hiruzen.
After all.
He had already decided that Hiruzen wanted to kill them in his heart.
Step, step, step, step...
Along with a series of footsteps, Shikaku walked out quickly. He first glanced at Eaton and then quickly looked at Aoba. Then, he turned his attention back to Eaton.
"Eaton-sama, please follow me!"
Shikaku said to Eaton. After that, he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"En!"
Eaton took a deep breath.
At this point in time.
The cannon was at the entrance of the cave, so he had no choice but to enter. Otherwise, wouldn't he become a cowardly turtle?
He threw out all the fear he had, treating himself as a living dead man. After all, he had crawled out of the battlefield, and only he and Aoba were the survivors.
Aoba followed behind Eaton, not saying a word and maintaining his silence.
On the way back.
Aoba could say all kinds of opinions.
He could lead Eaton toward Konohagakure.
However.
After entering Konohagakure.
Eaton was his superior.
He still had to follow behind Eaton and hide, not revealing any problems at all.
Soon.
Shikaku brought Eaton and Aoba to the second floor of the building.
Eaton looked at the door of the office in front of him. He had already made up his mind. This time, he was very determined and did not have any other thoughts. He directly raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Knock Knock Knock...
A series of knocks sounded.
"Come in."
Hiruzen's low and magnetic voice passed through the door of the Hokage's office, clearly transmitted into the corridor and into Eaton's ears.
Eaton's heart was now calm.
It could be said that he was not afraid of anything.
Creak!
Eaton directly pushed open the door and walked in. In an instant, he met Hiruzen's gaze. At this time, his heart was no longer so reverent when he saw Hiruzen.
Hiruzen was the Hokage of Konohagakure.
All decisions in the village were decided by this person!
In the past...
He felt that the Hokage was right in everything.
Even if he were to order to die immediately, he would be a very professional ninja who would do something like sacrificing his body.
However.
Everything had changed.
He found that Hiruzen was becoming less and less like a Hokage.
Ever since he asked Aoba to save Danzo and was followed, he had discovered that things here were becoming more and more complicated. He gradually began to doubt Hiruzen's philosophy and was no longer so trusting.
People were often like this!
When things that he had always trusted found out that he was not the same as he had imagined, and even began to collapse, then it would often be accompanied by the collapse of his beliefs.
"Sandaime-sama."
Eaton stared at Hiruzen indifferently. The fear that he was imagining now, from the moment he saw Hiruzen here, he had not felt so much. Now, he could even look at the person in front of him calmly.
"Eaton, why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen at the front line?" Hiruzen immediately asked. Just as Shikaku went to invite Eaton in, he suddenly realized that Eaton had already gone to the front line. Now that he suddenly came back, he felt that things were not so simple.
Eaton did not answer Hiruzen's question immediately. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Hiruzen.
He did not know why.
He felt that Hiruzen's question was very hypocritical.
After all, they had gone to the front line, so he should probably have a little idea why they had come back!
But...
Now it seemed.
Hiruzen seemed to know nothing.
To him, this was extremely hypocritical. He had a strong prejudice against Hiruzen in the first place, so no matter what Hiruzen did now, he felt that there was something wrong with Hiruzen.
"Sigh..."
After a while, Eaton slowly let out a sigh of relief.
His gaze was still fixed on Hiruzen.
The whole process seemed to be very complicated.
"What exactly happened?"
Hiruzen looked at Eaton's appearance, and question marks appeared on his face. Until now, he still did not know what Eaton wanted to express.
It wasn't just Hiruzen.
Even Shikaku, who was standing at the side, widened his eyes. His eyes were filled with doubt. In his impression, Eaton was not such a person!
"All dead."
Eaton indifferently said this sentence. His words did not seem to have any emotions, but in fact, they contained extremely deep grief.
Those who died on the front lines.
All of them were Konohagakure Intelligence Division's people whom he got along with day and night.
Now, apart from Aoba, none of these people came back. These were all thanks to this Third Hokage in front of him.
Moreover.
If not for the strange sealing technique that Aoba made.
He might not even have the chance to run back.
After all, Iwagakure had so many ninjas left. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he could not completely block them. In the end, he would still be submerged in the sea of people.
"What?!"
Hiruzen suddenly stood up. He did not understand what Eaton meant, but he had an extremely bad premonition in his heart. This made him seem to realize something.
