Chapter 60: A Shocking Scene
Chapter 60: A Shocking Scene
After the two Anbu ninjas declared that the martial law ended, a crowd of students in the first class of the second year suddenly cheered. Then, like a swarm of bees rushed out of the door.
Naruto, with an eager expression, also had to leave. Even if his palm had bled, he didn't even know about it. It wasn't until Hinata stopped him that he stopped. "Naruto..."
Naruto was taken aback. In a hurry, he almost forgot about Hinata. He turned around and looked sorrily towards Hinata. He thought about what he should say to her, but he was stopped by Hinata's movements. She took out cotton directly from her pocket and cleaned Naruto's wound.
Naruto found out that his hand was injured.
But Naruto, at this time, why would he care about being injured or not? Anxious. He just wanted to make an excuse to leave: "Hinata, I..."
She didn't wait for him to finish again. Hinata interrupted again. Hinata continued to clean the wound, minding her own business: "Naruto, no matter what happened to you... remember... I will always stand by you..."
Naruto was dumbfounded for a while.
When the reaction came over, there was a warmth in his heart. Because of this remark from Hinata, he calmed down a little. He didn't speak again. He just quietly looked at Hinata, bandaging his wound. Hinata took out the bandage and bandaged Naruto's injured palms one after another. The process was very gentle.
'I'm afraid I will hurt Naruto.'
But what she didn't know is that her actions today finally touched Naruto and let Naruto really feel that there is such a person besides the big brother in this world, caring for him.
Not long after, the wound was quickly bandaged.
Hinata lifted her head, silently looked towards Naruto. There was no sound. Her eyes, not at all avoiding this time, seemed to tell Naruto, 'I will support you for whatever you want to do'.
Seeing Hinata's gaze, Naruto smiled.
"Just now, Sasuke's expression was tense. I was worried about him. So let's go and see him together."
"Un." Hinata nodded.
...
Soon, Naruto took Hinata's tiny hand and ran out of the school.
They did not run far. They were just leaving school. But they already heard many lies and slanders around.
"Hello, have you heard? The martial law just now was just because Uchiha Itachi betrayed the village!"
"Yeah, I also heard that Uchiha Itachi not only betrayed the village but also killed the clansman!"
"Hey~ I can't believe it~. A good genius like him... how could he be so vicious and merciless?"
These lies and slanders...
The martial law just ended, and the rumors spread fast to the entire village. Needless to say, this was, of course, the work of Konoha's four elders. Otherwise, the news would not spread so quickly.
Naruto and Hinata were immediately nervous when they heard the news. Hinata was shocked by the news, leaving her head blank.
The news was really unbelievable.
Naruto became more anxious. He seemed normal on the surface. But in fact, he was gnashing his teeth: 'Damn it! Damn it! Big brother is right! This group of bastards!!!!!! Shit!!!'
Their pace was getting faster and faster.
Not waiting for them to go far, they were blocked again. Naruto just wanted to yell at him but found that it was the guard who often followed Hinata in the past. Naruto opened his mouth but didn't scold.
The guard did not look at Naruto. Instead, looking directly at Hinata, behind Naruto, he said respectfully: "Eldest Young Lady, Lord Clan Leader ordered the Eldest Young Lady to leave the Academy and go home immediately. Please, Eldest Young Lady. Please don't make it difficult."
"This..."
The guard's words pulled Hinata back from reality into a dull state.
Hearing the words of the guard, Hinata's heart sank even more. If it weren't for the guard's remark, maybe she still had hope, hope that the rumor was false The problem is... Now that the guard has appeared, and with her father's orders.
'Does it mean that even father knows about Sasuke's clan?! How could this be false?!'
Hinata, who analyzed the truth of the matter in a moment, didn't know what to do for a while. She really wanted to visit Sasuke. But the problem was, judging from the posture of this guard, it was impossible for him to let her go.
If she doesn't obey, maybe it will even affect Naruto.
At this time, even Hinata, who always worked hard and never complained, had to hesitate to follow Naruto or not. Because it was obvious that her father did not want her to participate in this matter, so he issued this order...
Hinata was panicking. She was so nervous that her nose was sour, and her eyes were involuntarily filled with tears.
As if to see the Naruto who was thinking of her, at this moment, Hinata's other little hand that was suspended in the air was also brought up. He put her hands with his own hands, trying to make Hinata feel warm, feeling at ease. "Hinata, it's okay. You can go back with him. I only need to see Sasuke. You can rest assured."
Hinata looked at Naruto and at the guard again, still hesitant.
"Go. Believe me." Naruto gave her a warm smile.
Hinata was reluctant and walked back to the Hyuga Clan residence while being guarded by the guard.
After the silhouette of Hinata disappeared in his field of view, Naruto, with all his strength, ran towards Uchiha Clan's residence.
.....
The time on the road seems to pass very slowly. Naruto had never felt that Sasuke's home was so far away.
While running, Naruto blamed himself.
'Damn it!'
If these doubts were gone long ago, maybe he could prevent this from happening!
'Damn it, old fogey! Why are you so cruel?!'
Naruto was full of anger. He ran for about two minutes before reaching the Uchiha residence. This shows how far away the Uchiha Clan's residence is from the village's core range.
It's just that when he saw the situation at the residence, Naruto's inner anger was instantly disappeared.
Standing there stunned, there was a blank in his mind. His face turned pale. He saw a shocking scene that he had never seen before, and he didn't want to see it!
The villagers have long been dispersed. There is no villager here!
One after another corpses were greeted by the masked ninja from the gate of Sasuke's house and passed in front of him without any disguise.
As if he didn't exist...
