Darkening System Start From Naruto

Chapter 58: Frightened

Chapter 58: Frightened

A few days later, in the Academy. In the first class of the second year.

Naruto seemed to be divided at the moment. The atmosphere of the entire class was no longer as lively as it used to be. Since communicating with Kakashi, Naruto has always been in this state of being depressed. Seeing that, Hinata was deeply worried.

After hesitating for a few days, Hinata finally became unable to bear, and asked Naruto sitting next to her: "Naruto... what happened to you recently? Why do you seem so unhappy?"

Sasuke, who was also sitting next to Naruto, also agreed: "Yeah, Naruto. What problem did you encounter? Tell us. We will definitely find a way to help you."

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry. Just recently thought of something unhappy; it should be fine in a few days." Naruto answered them with a narrowed smile.

This expression made Hinata even more worried.

Sasuke didn't think too much. He really believed that Naruto will be fine after a few days... right?

The three continued to concentrate on the lecture.

.....

When the school bell rang, Hinata gave Sasuke a wink.

The knowing Sasuke immediately asked, "I've been tired from exercising recently. Why not relax today? Let's go swimming and fishing! Hinata, what do you think?"

Hinata gave a slightly excited 'um'.

Then, the two looked towards Naruto together, waiting for his reply.

"No. Since there is no exercise, then I want to rest at home today. I'll talk about it later."

With that said, Naruto was about to get up and leave. But at this time, Class Teacher Iruka, applauding from outside the door, walked in. "Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!"

"Listen, everyone. The village is under martial law. Everyone must stay in Academy first. Everyone can leave school after martial law is over."

There was an uproar in an instant. One after another expressed dissatisfaction. They felt very puzzled. They didn't understand why the village was suddenly under martial law. This was something they had never encountered.

There were also Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke, who were all puzzled.

"Do you know what this is?" Naruto frowned and asked the two people on the side.

Hinata and Sasuke shook their heads.

It was too late to ask Class Teacher Iruka. After Iruka announced the news, regardless of whether the students were dissatisfied or not, he quickly left the classroom. In exchange, two masked Anbu ninjas were guarding the door of the class.

Seeing these 2 Anbu ninjas, everyone in the class suddenly stopped making noise. Compared to Iruka, their Class Teacher, they were even more scared at the Anbu ninjas wearing cold masks.

Seeing everyone in the class was clueless, Naruto suddenly had a thought, why not ask his omniscient big brother?

"Big brother, the village is suddenly under martial law. Do you know what the situation is?"

Throughout his childhood, as long as he has a problem, his big brother will be able to answer it for him. He believes that the big brother will not let him down this time.

The voice of the big brother he expected gave a response in his mind: "Naruto, are you sure... you want to know the answer?"

Hearing his big brother say that, Naruto was suddenly stunned. A bad hunch rose involuntarily from his heart. And this feeling was getting stronger and stronger!

He breathed deeply: "Big brother, just say it."

"Naruto... you have read the history of the village, right? Have you noticed what has changed in the village since the old man in Third-Kage took office?"

Naruto thought hard. But no matter how much he recalls the well-known Konoha history. He did not find any strange changes in the Third-Kage before and after taking office.

Li Yaoxiang reminded: "Since that old fogey took office, the top clan that founded Konoha, Senju Clan, has fallen. The Land-of-Whirlpools of Konoha's alliance were destroyed. There were other top experts in the village, and each and every one disappeared. Not leaving the village... just passed away. If you think about it, there's a connection."

Naruto fell into thought again. But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of an answer. This time he almost went crazy by Li Yaoxiang. Impatiently, he urged: "Oh, brother! Can you just tell me the answer? Also, what do these things have to do with this martial law?"

"Have you not found out yet? Ever since the village was controlled by the elders in the Hokage Residence, anything and anyone that could threaten their power or status have disappeared!"

Naruto's mood was as shocked as thunder from a clear sky!

If it wasn't for his big brother reminding him, he really wouldn't be able to find common ground in these kinds of events!

'It's just like what the big brother said! All the threatening existence of those old men disappeared one by one!'

Naruto, in reality, frightened by this idea, stood up suddenly!

His sudden move made Hinata and Sasuke frightened.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" Hinata asked

"Naruto, what happened to you? Why are you so strange these days?" Sasuke looked at him, puzzled.

Naruto who recovered his senses. His lips were slightly pale. He suppressed his emotions by force. "No... no... nothing. You don't have to worry. I just thought of something suddenly, so I was rude. I'm sorry to scare you."

Naruto sat down. He continued to communicate with Li Yaoxiang in his mind: "Big brother, what do you mean?! You mean... martial law this time is related to these things?"

"Oh, you already have an answer, don't you? So why bother to ask a question when you already know the answer?"

After Li Yaoxiang reminded him again and again, Naruto did have an answer in his heart. But the answer; Naruto was not willing to believe it!

He didn't want to face it!

Now, in the village, the clan that can threaten the existence of the elders in the Hokage Residence... isn't it just the top clans?! Among these top-level clans, who is the most powerful and the most threatening? If not the Uchiha Clan, who else would it be?!

Naruto subconsciously glanced at Sasuke, who was still worried about him. In his mind, he kept vetoing. "They won't! They won't! The village won't do it! The village won't be so cruel! I must have guessed wrong! Big brother must have thought wrong! Yes! It must be so!"

Naruto had just given a dose of reassurance for himself. Li Yaoxiang's next words, like a plate of cold water, drowned in the head: "What's wrong? Want to deceive yourself? Well, since you don't want to believe it. You can ask Hinata sitting next to you. Hyuga Clan used to be the goal of those old fellows too!"
