Chapter 123: The Crazy Uchiha Itachi
Twenty-four hours later, in the Hokage room.
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and stared at the two Anbu ninjas in front of him, his tone was calm, but he actually questioned: "It has passed twenty-four hours, and now, you still tell me that there is no news of Sasuke... Is he really not found... Or are you not looking for it?"
The broken wall of the Hokage room can be quickly built back. Still, Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust in everyone cannot be recovered.
Bad news came one after another, and after waiting so long, he couldn't bear it.
'I don't know how many people in Konoha Village are loyal to me….'
Two Anbu ninjas, who are loyal to Sarutobi Hiruzen, glanced at each other, somewhat helpless. But they still replied: "Third-Kage, we have followed the river that Uzumaki Naruto said, and we have carefully looked for a good distance. Not only did we not find Sasuke's corpse. Even traces of clothes were not found."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was still squinting at the two Anbu ninjas; his eyes seemed to see through the real thoughts of two people.
Seeing two Anbu ninjas loyal to him, he felt uncomfortable and a little sad.
After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Since we have been searching for so long and can't find it. Then don't waste too much manpower in this regard. Now strengthen the village's defense. Keep an eye not only inside the village but even outside the village! If there is any trouble, come back and tell me immediately!"
