章 179: Banquet Delayed
In the evening, the originally clear sky was now shrouded in dark clouds.
The cold wind whistled, blowing on his face, hurting like a needle.
The dark clouds piled up into a whole, like a thick piece of iron, gradually sinking to the ground, as if they had covered the Hokage rock.
There were only a few pedestrians on the streets of the Village.
They all wrapped up their cotton-padded jackets and shrunk their necks into their scarves. When the hot air from their mouths touched the cold temperature outside, it instantly turned into white gas.
Uchiha Tunan walked out of the welfare institute and closed the door behind him.
"Googoo ---"
In the sky, a group of birds flew past, as if they wanted to go into the forest to avoid the incoming cold.
Uchiha Tunan's expression did not change as he tightened his windbreaker and slowly walked towards the Sarutobi Clan.
One, two, three...
There were a total of six Dark Group secretly monitoring him.
Uchiha Tunan had a bad feeling in his heart.
Just now, an assassin directly broke into the welfare home and said that Hiruzen Sarutobi asked him to go to his place for dinner tonight.
But now, there were six assassins watching him.
He thought it was an ordinary family dinner, but it seemed that this was probably a Banquet.
What exactly went wrong that made Hiruzen Sarutobi so abnormal?
Many possibilities flashed through Uchiha Tunan's mind.
Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan stopped in his tracks.
The Anbu hiding in the dark suddenly became nervous.
Uchiha Tunan turned around and returned to the orphanage.
The Anbu began to chat with each other.
"What should we do?"
"Hokage Sama only asked us to pay attention to his movements. Don't make any noise and wait for the situation to change."
...
The sky gradually darkened.
Due to the climate, there was no moon in the sky.
In an environment without light, ordinary people could not even see the trees a few meters away.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the living room and smoked while looking at the family photo frame in his hand.
His trembling hand gently brushed past the photo, as if he was caressing the person inside.
His heart was filled with the image of Shinnosuke and Asuma playing by his side when they were young.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered their appearances and voices, but he never had the chance to experience them himself.
Previously, Hiruzen Sarutobi was depressed every day due to the pain of losing his son.
But in this darkest period, it was Uchiha Tunan who gave him warmth.
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi only felt that his mood was unprecedentedly complicated.
The enemy who killed his son was likely to be by his side all the time, and the relationship between the two was extremely deep.
The truth that he had been searching for all this time had been revealed, but it was not the truth he wanted.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. At this moment, he really felt old.
He got up and put the family photo frame back to its original place. He went back to the sofa and shook off the smoke. He looked up at the dark sky outside.
It was unknown when it started to snow outside.
The chilly little north wind blew into the house with tiny snow particles, but Hiruzen Sarutobi did not have any intention of closing the door. He just quietly stared outside.
They should be arriving soon.
Is there a misunderstanding? Is it Abe Akira's scheme to stir up my relationship with Tunan...?
The closer it was to time, the more Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts flew. In an instant, he thought of countless possibilities and attempted to deceive himself.
If it was Tunan, did it mean that everything he did before was fake?
Why did he do this?
Hiruzen Sarutobi lightly exhaled a mouthful of smoke. The thick smoke covered his eyes and obstructed his vision.
Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of a possible motive.
Kill Shinnosuke, kill Asuma, kill Orochimaru.
Could it be that Tunan had been planning the position of the Hokage all along, and he was doing this for the sake of the Uchiha clan?
At the thought of this, a thick killing intent burst out from Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
"Ka!"
The pipe in his hand that had accompanied him for many years was instantly broken by the great force.
"Wa ---wa ---"
Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from outside, interrupting Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts.
Outside the open courtyard door, Uchiha Tunan rushed in with his head lowered.
As Uchiha Tunan got closer and closer to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the cries of the baby became louder and louder.
Just like that, Uchiha Tunan ran into the house and closed the door with one hand.
"Hu ---Teacher, you don't have to open the door and wait for me. It's so cold outside."
Uchiha Tunan said in a slightly reproachfultone. At the same time, he unbuttoned his trench coat, revealing the crying baby inside.
"Little Yan Bo, be good. You're at grandpa's house. It's not cold anymore."
Uchiha Tunan coaxed Little Yan Bo as he sat down next to Hiruzen Sarutobi and picked up the baby.
When Little Yan Bo saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, he seemed to be afraid of strangers. He immediately stopped crying and stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi with his black eyes.
There was still some timidity on his chubby face.
Hiruzen Sarutobi originally wanted to question Uchiha Tunan the moment he entered.
But the appearance of Little Yan Bo disrupted his plan.
He couldn't possibly scream in front of a baby.
Uchiha Tunan glanced at the empty dining table and frowned.
"I was delayed by changing Yan Bo's pants. I'm going to cook now. Teacher, help me carry Yan Bo first."
After saying that, Uchiha Tunan directly stuffed the little Yan Bo into Hiruzen Sarutobi's arms and rushed into the kitchen.
Because Hiruzen Sarutobi needed to free himself to hug Little Yan Bo, the broken pipe in his hand also fell to the ground.
Little Yan Bo opened his eyes wide and curiously sized up Hiruzen Sarutobi's frosty expression.
Perhaps because he felt that this old man in front of him was a little scary, he immediately pouted and cried out.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face twitched, but he still subconsciously trembled and forcefully coaxed him.
"Don't cry."
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mood was in disorder, and he could not lose his temper. He also pretended to be kind.
The sound of a lighter was heard in the kitchen. Uchiha Tunan closed the door of the kitchen to prevent the smoke from pouring into the living room.
At the same time, Uchiha Tunan, who had not understood the situation, began to speak to buy time.
"Teacher, this is the first time Yan Bo has seen you, right?"
"This little fellow is timid. It's normal for him to be afraid of strangers. When he gets familiar with you later, he won't cry anymore."
"Yan Bo, this child's background is also quite pitiful. His family doesn't want him anymore."
"I can only ask Kakashi to write Yan Bo into the Family tree. This way, he can be considered to have a surname."
"When he grows up, I will be his father."
"You are my teacher. You can be called grandpa."
"Teacher?"
"Teacher?"
Uchiha Tunan's voice was very soft under the contrast of the exhaust pipe.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi still heard it clearly, but there was no response.
Just like that, he hugged Little Yan and sat on the sofa, not saying a word.
The kitchen door was pushed open a crack. Uchiha Tunan stuck his head out and sniffed.
"Don't smoke. You can't smell smoke."
After saying that, Uchiha Tunan retracted his head again and closed the kitchen door.
