บท 180: Tunan's Confession

The moment the kitchen door closed, Uchiha Tunan's expression instantly turned cold and his eyes narrowed slightly.

While cooking, he was thinking about what he should do tonight.

Just now, Uchiha Tunan took the opportunity to observe the furnishings in the living room.

The broken tobacco pipe that had fallen to the ground, as well as the photo frame that had been placed in the cabinet, had been taken out at some point in time.

In addition to today's battle, it was very likely that something had happened to Shinnosuke and Asuma.

Fortunately, he went back after going out and brought Little Yan Bo with him.

It was to make use of Little Yan Bo before the unknown conflict was triggered.

However, Little Yan Bo could only play a delaying role, and the things that should happen would continue.

He just didn't know how much Hiruzen Sarutobi knew.

If he really knew that he had killed Shinnosuke and Asma, then he would definitely fall out with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At this time, there was no doubt that Hiruzen Sarutobi was stronger than Orochimaru.

He could kill Orochimaru even if he hid the Lightning Evasion.

If he really wanted to fight Hiruzen Sarutobi to the death, in a one-on-one situation, he could definitely win with all his firepower.

But this was only the ideal situation.

In a battle between ninjas, before their strength reached the level of six, they could only take up most of the factors.

Uchiha Tunan not only needed to prevent Hiruzen Sarutobi from using this kind of bug-like forbidden technique.

He also had to prevent Hiruzen Sarutobi from directly summoning Konoha's Ninjas to attack him together.

In this period, Konoha was stronger than in the shippuden period.

Although he was strong, he was probably not as strong as Pein.

If he fought with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato and Kushina would definitely help him no matter how much close they were.

The Flying Thunder God of Minato could annoy him to death.

If he killed Hiruzen Sarutobi,

Then he could only betray the village.

When the human setting collapsed, Konoha would basically have nothing to do with him.

For now, he could only take it one step at a time.

The best result was that the two of them had let go of their former enmity, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had let go of the grudge of killing his son.

Of course, the worst result was that he had betrayed the village and went to other places to develop his plantation.

After a while, Uchiha Tunan pushed open the kitchen door and came out with delicious food.

After placing the dishes on the table, he came to Hiruzen Sarutobi's side and hugged Little Yanbo in his arms.

He said with a smile, "Little Yanbo isn't crying. Teacher, come and eat. Leave the food to me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded numbly. He got up and sat down at the table.

Instead of eating with chopsticks, he stared at Uchiha Tunan, who was feeding Little Yan Bu.

Uchiha Tunan scooped up a spoonful of porridge, put it into his mouth and chewed it for a while. Then he spat it into the spoon and fed Little Yan Bu.

Watching Little Yan Bu smacking his lips incessantly, Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered that Shinnosuke and Asuma were also so cute when they were young.

For a moment, intense grief welled up in his heart.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes turned red, and he said in a hoarse voice,

"Tunan, you are Abe Akira, right?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Tunan stopped what he was doing, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared. He looked at Little Yan Bo in his arms silently.

The room fell into a tense and silent atmosphere, and only the cold wind outside was still whistling.

A dim yellow light hung over the dining table, setting off a subtle atmosphere.

A moment later, Uchiha Tunan continued to feed Little Yan Bo expressionlessly. He said softly,

"Teacher, after dinner, let's go out and talk alone. Don't scare Yan Bo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the change in Uchiha Tunan's expression and his heart sank.

He glanced at Little Yan Bo, who was staring at him with innocent and curious eyes. In the end, he suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded.

He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of food, and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

It was clearly a delicious delicacy, but at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi tasted like chewing wax.

After a few bites, Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his chopsticks and sat there blankly, staring at the food on the table as if he was in a daze.

Ten minutes later, Uchiha Tunan put the full Little Yan Bo back on the sofa and then separated a shadow clone to look after him.

The real body came to the clothes rack at the door and took off Hiruzen Sarutobi's coat.

He walked to Hiruzen Sarutobi and put on his coat. "Teacher, it's cold outside. Let's go out and talk."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, got up and followed Uchiha Tunan out of the yard.

The two of them faced the wind and snow and left the Sarutobi clan side by side.

As time passed, Uchiha Tunan and Hiruzen Sarutobi walked in silence.

It seemed that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want this matter to spread out. He took Uchiha Tunan through the Konoha encampment and came to the forest near the Orochimaru secret base.

The forest was dark, and most of the tall trees had turned into bare branches. There were only a few sparse lines of light on the ground, making the forest particularly mysterious and strange.

At the same time, there was a drifting mist, and the whole forest was strangely quiet.

The two people passed through the forest and continued to walk away from Konoha.

When they first went out, there were only small snowflakes floating in the sky, but now, the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

One could only hear the increasingly raging cold wind whistling. The snow became fiercer as the wind blew, and the snow became denser and denser. The snowflakes also became larger and larger, as if they were woven into a white net. In just a short while, they hung all over the branches.

A thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.

Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was walking in front, stopped.

Uchiha Tunan also stopped. He reached out and adjusted his glasses, saying softly,

"Teacher, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his back to Uchiha Tunan and said coldly, "Are you Abe Akira?"

"Yes."

"You killed Shinnosuke. Did you kill Asuma as well?"

"Yes."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and glared at Uchiha Tunan.

Then, he raised his right hand and made a seal with one hand.

In the next moment, the soil under Uchiha Tunan's feet turned into a whirlpool of mud and dragged him into it.

Uchiha Tunan did not struggle at all. Soon, he only left his head outside and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Uchiha Tunan coldly.

Uchiha Tunan said with a calm expression, "Teacher, I don't want to fight you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists tightly. He was already furious in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said,

"Don't call me teacher. I won't accept it."

Uchiha Tunan said lightly, "Teacher, I still have dreams that haven't been realized, so I can't die here. I'm sorry."

"Bang!"

In the mire, Uchiha Tunan turned into a ball of white smoke.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, and he immediately turned around to form a seal in the distant forest.

"Composite Ninja Art - Multiearth Dragon Flame Flow."

The earth trembled wildly, and in a flash, more than ten earth dragons broke out from the ground in the forest.

Moreover, these earth dragons spat fire from their mouths as they surrounded and attacked a certain area in the forest.

The impact of the earth dragon and the burning effect of the fire escape merged together.

In an instant, the trees where the earth dragon passed by collapsed one after another, igniting a raging fire.

The mist in the forest was instantly dispelled by the high temperature of the burning flames.

Facing Hiruzen Sarutobi who had used a killing move from the beginning, Uchiha Tunan's low voice rang out in the forest.

"Immortal Technique - Heavy Nine Rock Pillar Technique."

Boom ---

In an instant, dense and hard stone pillars rose up in the forest, piercing through every earth dragon that attacked.

The forest within a radius of more than ten miles had already turned into a stone forest, and below the stone forest were raging flames.

The two of them had completely changed the landscape of this place the moment they exchanged blows.

In the middle of the stone forest, a stone pillar slowly rose to the highest point.

Uchiha Tunan stood on top of the stone pillar, his eyes sparkling as he looked down at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Teacher, don't waste your energy.

You can't do anything to me. Let me go.

This is my fault. I don't want to continue lying to you.

When I realize my dream, I will come back and apologize to you.

When the time comes, you can kill me, cut me, and do whatever you want."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face looked extremely gloomy under the light of the fire. He shouted angrily, "Do you really think I am that old and can't keep up with you?"
