Something's wrong with this Hinata in Konoha

Chapter 203 I Really Regret

The front line of Tian Country stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and there are more than one important battlefield during this period, and naturally there is more than one Konoha stronghold.

Kyonosuke Sarutobi was planted near the camp at the central axis, where Konoha's headquarters was, where he and his root men had been monitoring Hinata Inaba's movements.

At the same time, there are also frequent ninja dispatches in the Konoha camp on the western front!
At first, many ninjas did not know what they were going to do when they received the instructions. They just prepared the barrier, cleared the field, and mobilized manpower as instructed.

"Who are we going to deal with? Why should the barrier be placed in our own camp? Is Kumogakure going to attack today? But I haven't received any relevant information?"

Many Konoha ninjas didn't understand it at first.

It wasn't until the follow-up instructions and a series of intelligence came from the headquarters that they were frightened, as if they were facing the thunder erupting and the storm coming!
"This……"

For the first time, everyone who saw this information was stunned.

Their first reaction was: Is it true or false? !Is Konoha really going to change?

But then, more and more evidence came from the command and they could no longer doubt it.

So a large number of Konoha ninjas continued to complete the tasks at hand with uneasy and complicated emotions, and completely sealed off their camps with barriers!
All of this actually stems from the fact that a special guest arrived in the tent at the center of the camp yesterday afternoon!

That is their acting Hokage of Konoha: Hiruzen Sarutobi!
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still sitting in the camp drinking tea and chatting with Jiraiya.

Until suddenly, he keenly sensed the changes in chakra around him!

"what happened?!"

He put down the tea cup and rushed out of the tent in a hurry. In the process, he even channeled the ape demon, which turned into a golden hoop and carried it in his hand!
"What's going on?! Why did the barrier suddenly rise? Did Kumogakure come over? Why was there no information at all in advance?!"

When he came to the door of the camp, he was still very anxiously asking about the war.

Until he noticed that the large number of Konoha ninjas around him were not actually wary of the possible direction of Kumogakure to the north, but were instead surrounding the earthen house he just walked out of!

At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that everything was too absurd...

"What are you... doing?"

He vaguely guessed something, but he still found it unbelievable.

He questioned desperately, trying to deny the guess that popped into his mind!
"What are you all doing here?! Why did a barrier suddenly rise in the camp?! Aren't you afraid of wasting precious barrier materials?
Who is directing?Who gave such a stupid order? ! "

But no one answered his questions. Everyone just looked at him calmly and pitifully.

Until a few seconds later, his disciple Jiraiya, the commander of the Western Front who invited him here yesterday, slowly walked out of the room and stood behind him, looking at him with the same expression of pity.

"Jiraiya, you--are you even the one? Why?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and looked at Jiraiya in disbelief.

"What do you want to do, Jiraiya?! Do you also covet the position of Hokage? If you want, you can just tell me directly, why do you want to do such a thing!

Why are you doing this? !Could it be that his refusal to give up the position of Hokage in front of me was all false? ! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen roared at Jiraiya with a look of grief and anger, his ferocious expression as if he had been betrayed!
He did ask Jiraiya if he wanted to inherit the position of Hokage.

If Jiraiya was interested, he would have originally wanted to pass the fourth generation goal position to Jiraiya instead of Minato.

But Jiraiya refused at first.

He didn't even return to the village, he just replied with a letter rejecting the matter.Later, when the war broke out and Jiraiya returned to the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen mentioned it many times, but Jiraiya's answer every time was without exception, rejection.

That's why Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry when he saw Jiraiya standing in front of him!
He felt that he had been betrayed by his disciples!
However, Jiraiya just sighed, still maintaining his compassionate eyes, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and spoke softly.

"Mr. Hiruzen, do you know why they surrounded you today?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen roared, "Why else?! You all fell for that Hinata brat! You finally couldn't help but attack me, the acting Hokage, right? Come on! I won't bear the name of Hokage. I will be afraid of you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen roared with righteous words, his face turned red, and for a moment it seemed as if he had really been wronged and humiliated, and would rather die than surrender to defend his glory.

Until Jiraiya let out a low sigh, and with one sentence, his forced glory and pretended strength were exposed.

"The root ninja rebelled against the village and collaborated with the enemy. In the past few days, he has been exchanging intelligence with Kumogakure and setting up a trap to ambush Namikaze Minato. Do you dare to say that you don't know anything about it?"

With just one sentence, such a simple sentence, all of Sarutobi Hiruzen's attempts to be brave were instantly defeated.

"I……"

He wanted to say that he had no involvement!

In fact, he did not participate. He hesitated and wavered. He neither agreed with Sarutobi Kyonosuke's ideas nor approved their actions. He wanted to be an ostrich, burying his head in the sand and pretending that nothing happened outside. !
This is what he did in the original world line.

Doesn't he know that the Uchiha clan's problems are imminent?Of course he knew, but he hesitated, let it go, and finally allowed Danzo and Itachi to massacre the entire family...

Many times, he hesitated at critical moments.

It's just that in the original work, he was lucky, and there were always people who stood up to help him get things done when he was undecided.

It's a pity that now that the world line is misaligned, he will no longer have such good luck...

The opponent he met this time was a ruthless person who would not give him a second chance!

There is a price to pay for hesitating in front of Hinata Inaba!
"Teacher Hiruzen, no matter how much you and Hinata Inaba fought in the past, it was ultimately a dispute within the village. But this time you should never allow your subordinates to have an affair with Kumogakure! You are betraying Mu. Ye, betray your teacher Nidaime-sama!”

When Jiraiya said these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally lowered the golden cudgel in his hand.

"I……"

He also wanted to justify.

But out of the corner of his eye, he could see all the Konoha ninjas around him raising their weapons!
At that moment, he finally connected everything and realized his powerlessness!

Barriers have been raised across the entire camp, and with so many people surrounding him, it is impossible to rely solely on simple frame-ups and false accusations!
With that Hyuga brat's impeccable style of doing things, the evidence of the base's affair with Kumogakure must have been spread throughout the entire front line by now!
At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts seemed to go back to the afternoon a few days ago, to the day when Kyunosuke Sarutobi confronted him.

What Kyonosuke Sarutobi said at that time suddenly came back from his memory and echoed in his ears!

"Master Hiruzen, you are completely deceiving yourself! Some things have always been either not done or never done! You have already blocked the return of the fourth generation once, so what's the point of stopping now? You hesitate like this. You are destroying yourself!"

"Hiruzen-sama, you will regret it!!"

Danzo had said this to him many times before, but he had never taken it to heart.

regret?Impossible, I am the Hokage!
But...things in the world are unpredictable, and fortunes and misfortunes are unpredictable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen never imagined that one day, he would actually regret it...

The world line changed, and on this day, he finally paid the price for his consistent hesitation!
