In the council chamber of the Hokage's office building, Hiruzen Sarutobi lightly tapped his fingertips on the table, looked up at Kakashi standing behind him, and asked, "Has Broly made any moves lately?"
Since his son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, was tragically killed by Broly, the Anbu was leaderless and had no one capable of taking on important responsibilities. Left with no other choice, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to temporarily transfer Kakashi, who had previously served as an Anbu squad leader, back to the Anbu and entrust him with the important task of Captain-Commander.
After a long absence, Kakashi donned his ANBU uniform and mask, bowing his head as he reported, "Lady Sakuya assassinated Broly."
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around abruptly, his fleeting glance filled with disbelief.
Sarutobi Sakuya, his daughter-in-law, is also the wife of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was killed by Broly.
She once served as the captain of the ANBU under Shinnosuke, and in the original work, she and her husband were known as Hiruzen Sarutobi's right-hand men.
However, after Shinnosuke's death, Sarutobi Sakuya became listless and depressed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried about his daughter-in-law's health, so he told her to go home and rest so she could focus on taking care of the children.
In recent days, Hiruzen Sarutobi has comforted Sakuya Sarutobi several times, repeatedly assuring her that he will personally avenge his son.
But he never expected that his daughter-in-law, who seemed to be overwhelmed by grief, would be so bold as to attempt to assassinate Broly.
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression change drastically, Kakashi quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "Hokage-sama, don't worry, Broly only killed Lady Sakuya, he didn't do anything else."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi froze on the spot, unsure of what expression to make.
Is this a good thing?
However, upon closer examination of Broly's actions so far, it seems fortunate for Konoha that he only killed the person who attempted to assassinate him this time, but the one who died was his daughter-in-law.
Let's rewind 10 minutes.
The once busiest street corner in Konoha Village was deserted today.
Today, Broly came here as usual to check in, pulling back the curtain to reveal a hearty smile, "Yo, long time no see."
After taking his seat, he looked up and waved to the Ōtsutsuki te-hachi who was busy behind the counter.
He paused in his hand movements, forced a smile, and muttered to himself, "Didn't we just see each other yesterday?"
Thinking back to the first time Broly dined at the restaurant, my hands and heart trembled. That time, Broly finished his noodles and left without paying. I was cursing Broly for dining and dashing.
But when he heard that this boy had dared to kill the Hokage's only son, his anger was instantly replaced by relief.
It's a miracle that such a ruthless character, who dared to lay a hand on even the Hokage's son, didn't kill someone as insignificant as myself.
But to everyone's surprise, at the crucial moment when the Hokage was about to give his opening speech yesterday, Broly suddenly appeared beside him and even paid back the ramen money he owed him last time.
I didn't know how to react when I typed it by hand, so I had no choice but to accept it.
Broly, seemingly oblivious to the embarrassment of the hand slapping his face, plopped down and said, "The usual, 100 bowls of signature ramen."
He nodded with a forced smile, then turned to the girl standing next to him, who looked to be only a middle school student, and called out, "Ayame, help me out."
Soon, bowl after bowl of steaming ramen was placed on the table in front of Broly.
Many Konoha villagers passing by caught a glimpse of Broly's retreating figure, their eyes surging with intense disgust, even undisguised hatred, yet no one dared to step forward and utter a single word.
This scene was witnessed by Naruto, who was also heading to Ichiraku Ramen for dinner. Looking at the way the villagers were looking at Broly, he felt a strange unease and a huge question arose in his mind: 'Why aren't they throwing stones at Broly?'
Naruto felt that although the way they looked at Broly was exactly the same as how they usually looked at him, full of disgust and hatred, their attitudes were completely different.
Just as Broly picked up his bowl and began slurping his noodles, Teiji noticed the awkward atmosphere in the room. After thinking for a moment, he chuckled awkwardly and leaned forward, cautiously asking, "Mr. Broly, are you satisfied with the noodles today?"
Broly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's alright, just a little too little poison."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Konoha villagers who were secretly glancing at the scene, the ANBU ninjas lurking in the shadows of the street corner, and Naruto and the others standing outside the shop all changed drastically the moment they heard the word "poison."
"Poison? Really? This old man actually dared to poison Broly's noodles?"
Naruto's eyes widened in shock. Was this guy really that strong?
Broly has been in Konoha for a few days now, and Naruto knows that many people in the village hate him to the core.
But he never expected that the usually kind and gentle Uncle Hand would dare to attack Broly.
Upon hearing this, the man's squinty eyes widened instantly. He stumbled, nearly falling on his backside, and frantically waved his hands, shouting in a panic, "No! I really didn't poison him, Mr. Broly, I really didn't!"
He was just an ordinary ramen vendor; how could he possibly dare to provoke Broly, that monster?
Broly's smile remained unchanged. His gaze passed over the hand and landed on the slender figure beside him, whose back was always turned to him. He said calmly, "Not you, it's this."
Noticing Broly's gaze, his hand trembled, and he slowly turned his head in disbelief, stammering, "Acorus calamus—could it be—?"
Naruto, who had witnessed all of this, could no longer hold back and cried out, "How could Ayame-neechan do such a thing?"
Tetsuya and Ayame, father and daughter, are the only two people in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who never discriminate against him.
At this stage, Iruka's attitude towards him remained lukewarm, far from the closeness he would later show.
To be honest, it's barely believable that an adult would dare to poison Broly.
But Changpu is just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl who has just started junior high school. How could she possibly have such a big heart?
Broly picked up another bowl of noodles, slurped it down in two seconds, and put the empty bowl down. He then curled the corners of his mouth into a half-smile and said, "Still pretending, Ninja Auntie?"
Upon hearing Broly's words, Ayame knew she could no longer keep up the act.
With a muffled "bang," a white mist suddenly emanated from her body, and her figure rapidly shifted within the mist. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a naive twelve or thirteen-year-old girl into a woman nearing thirty.
A young woman with a beautiful face but a strong murderous intent.
"It's a transformation technique!"
This thought flashed through the minds of everyone present.
"Sakuya--Lady Sakuya!" The Konoha villagers around her recognized her at a glance and exclaimed in surprise.
She is none other than Sarutobi Sakuya, the wife of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the daughter-in-law of the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!
Sarutobi Sakuya bit her lip so hard her teeth almost dug into her flesh as she stared intently at Broly, her pupils reflecting the face of her husband's killer.
Broly seemed completely oblivious to the overwhelming resentment in her eyes. He picked up another bowl of noodles and continued slurping them down, chuckling as he said, "Do you think you can kill an elephant with cockroach poison?"
That's right, Broly doesn't have Duan Yu's immune-to-poison constitution. The reason he was unharmed was simply because the dosage of the poison on the Naruto planet was too small for him.
By this time, Teji had barely recovered from his shock. He swallowed hard, his throat dry, and asked in a trembling voice, "Lady Sakuya, my daughter, is she now—?"
However, before Tate could finish his question, Sarutobi Sakuya suddenly moved. She pulled out a gleaming kunai from behind her back, and with a flick of her wrist, stabbed it fiercely at Broly on the other side of the counter.
This sudden and drastic change terrified the surrounding Konoha villagers, who nearly screamed out loud.
Broly, without even looking up, casually tossed out a disposable chopstick in his hand. With a "whoosh" sound, it precisely pierced Sarutobi Sakuya's forehead when Sarutobi Sakuya's kunai was less than half a centimeter away from his.
Blood spurted out instantly, splashing onto the tablecloth and blooming into dazzling blood flowers.
With a "thud," Sarutobi Sakuya, whose forehead had been pierced by chopsticks, lay stiffly on the dining table, completely lifeless.
"Aaaaaah—!"
Suddenly, piercing screams rang out in the neighborhood, one after another, and everyone was terrified by the bloody scene.
Following the death of the Hokage's son, the Hokage's daughter-in-law has also died!
"I'm sorry, boss, for making such a mess of your shop."
Ignoring the gasps and screams around him, Broly finished the rest of his noodles in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and said to the pale-faced Tekkaman, "As for the cleaning fee, you can ask them for it when my men invade Konoha."
His hands, drenched in cold sweat, trembled all over. He took several deep breaths to barely suppress the shock in his heart, and asked urgently in a tearful voice, "My daughter—Changpu, where is she?"
He was completely oblivious to all this nonsense; his only concern was where his girlfriend was.
Broly tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "When was the last time you saw your daughter?"
His brow furrowed as his mind raced. After pondering for about half a minute, he suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I remember now! This morning, she went to deliver food, specifically to the Sarutobi clan's territory!"
Upon hearing this, Broly's expression shifted to one of sudden realization, a playful smile playing on his lips. "It seems the person who ordered takeout was Mrs. Sarutobi. Your daughter should still be at the Sarutobi clan's territory. Go check on her; she should be alright."
Although Broly didn't have a good impression of the Sarutobi family, it's unlikely that Sarutobi Sakuya would go so far as to lay a hand on a girl from a ramen shop.
However, after losing her husband, she was clearly blinded by hatred, to the point of trying to assassinate herself, and it was not impossible that she would also harm innocent people.
Upon hearing this, Tate didn't dare to delay any longer. Without even saying thank you, he took off running towards the Sarutobi clan's territory.
Broly found this quite interesting, so he got up and slowly followed.
Naruto watched Broly and Tetsuya hurriedly leave, then glanced at Sarutobi Sakuya, whose forehead was pierced and who was lying on the dining table, clearly dead. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
After thinking about it, he decided it would be better to tell Iruka-sensei first, so he turned around and ran towards the Ninja Academy.
The Sarutobi clan's territory is located in the most prosperous central area of Konoha Village, which is not surprising at all. After all, their clan leader, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has been the Hokage for nearly half a century. What's wrong with him getting a little benefit?
As soon as Broly and Tetsuya stepped into the Sarutobi clan's territory, they felt the wary and hateful gazes of the Sarutobi people.
However, because of Broly's strength, they dared not advance easily.
Broly glanced around at the impressive buildings, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Things are developing quite well."
Although the Sarutobi clan's size wasn't as exaggerated as some netizens joked in the previous life, "Even though the Uchiha and Senju clans no longer exist, the Sarutobi clan can still field 3000 ninjas to participate in the Fourth Shinobi World War."
But in terms of size, they are definitely the largest clan in Konoha Village.
"Then—Mr. Broly, where should we begin our search?" Although Tetsuya had arrived in Sarutobi's territory, he was, after all, just an ordinary commoner who had never set foot in this land of the powerful and wealthy before. In addition, with his daughter missing, he had long since lost his composure.
Completely at a loss, they had no choice but to turn to Broly for help.
Broly said, "Of course, we're going to Sarutobi Sakuya's house."
He slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "Oh, right, right, how come I didn't think of that!"
He found a shop owner at the crossroads of Sarutobi territory and cautiously asked Sarutobi Sakuya where she lived.
Normally, given his status as a commoner, the other party would most likely not bother to answer. But seeing Broly standing right behind Handy, the shopkeeper turned pale with fright and dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly and respectfully pointed to an imposing hilltop house not far away.
He thanked her and hurried toward the house.
When they arrived at the gate of the Chang family mansion, before even entering the house, they heard the clear cries of a baby coming from inside.
In a moment of panic, he didn't bother to knock and rushed in. Soon, he saw his daughter, Changpu, frantically holding a one- or two-year-old baby boy who couldn't speak yet, pacing back and forth in the room.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Oh dear, why do you keep crying? Are you hungry? Or are you feeling unwell?"
Changpu was sweating profusely, her bangs sticking to her smooth forehead, but she still couldn't soothe the child in her arms.
"Shopu!" Shout, rushing forward and hugging his daughter tightly in his arms, as if afraid that she would disappear in the next second.
The baby, who had been held in Ayame's arms, fell onto the soft tatami mat with a "thud" when it lost its embrace, and its cries instantly became even louder.
Ayame was startled by her father's sudden action and struggled to speak, saying, "Dad, what are you doing here? Oh dear, let me go! Is Young Master Konohamaru hurt?"
However, Shouda held his daughter tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably, and sobbed, "You're alright, that's great, that's great—it's good that you're alright—"
This was the first time in all of Changpu's life that she had ever seen her father cry so dramatically.
She stopped struggling instantly, paused for a moment, then hugged her father tightly around the waist and gently patted his back.
Although she doesn't know what happened yet, she should comfort her father first.
Just then, Broly strolled in leisurely, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally landing on the little brat who was wailing and crying on the tatami mat. His eyes lit up immediately.
This kid, could he be—
When Ayame saw Broly walk in, she was startled and her body involuntarily tensed up.
But when she saw Broly looking at her questioningly, she composed herself and stammered, "This—this is Lady Sakuya and Lord Shinnosuke's child, Konohamaru."
Upon hearing this, Broly's smile widened, a playful curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He thought that because he killed Shinnosuke, Konohamaru wouldn't be born, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.
Broly looked up at Ayame and said, "Take him away and raise him for now. My men will take over after they enter Konoha."
"what?"
Ayame was startled, her face full of astonishment, and she quickly said, "But I still have to wait for Lady Sakuya to come back."
After she delivered the food here in the morning, Sarutobi Sakuya made an excuse to go out and specifically asked Ayame to help look after the child during this time. Ayame didn't think much of it and readily agreed.
Unexpectedly, she waited until nightfall, but Lady Sakuya still did not return, and she had no idea where Lady Sakuya had gone.
"It's alright, she's dead," Broly said nonchalantly.
Changpu froze on the spot, her eyes wide open, her mind blank, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
Lady Sakuya is dead? What... what on earth happened?
Afterwards, Broly and Tetsuya left Sarutobi territory, but this time, they were accompanied by Ayame, who was holding a child.
When they came out, many members of the Sarutobi clan saw this scene and recognized at a glance that the baby in the girl's arms was Sarutobi Konohamaru, the grandson of their clan leader, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What does Broly want with Konohamaru-sama?"
Everyone was filled with doubt, but because they were afraid of Broly's strength, no one dared to step forward to stop them, and could only watch helplessly as the three left.
As Broly and his group stepped out of the Sarutobi clan's territory, they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi leading a large group of Konoha ninjas, rushing towards them menacingly, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Where do you think you're taking Konohamaru?" Asuma, standing next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, immediately saw the baby in Ayame's arms and shouted angrily with red eyes.
Ayame was just an ordinary ramen shop girl who had never seen anything like this before. When Asuma yelled at her, she was so frightened that her hand trembled and Konohamaru in her arms was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Broly was quick-witted and grabbed the boy in time, stuffing him back into Ayame's arms.
"Why are you yelling so loudly?" Broly looked up at Asma, his face full of disdain. "You should worry more about yourself, or you might end up dying on the battlefield."
Enraged by Broly's retort, Asuma clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up and fight Broly to the death.
But considering the vast difference in strength between himself and his opponent, he ultimately held back and could only stare intently at Broly.
Compared to his impulsive and thoughtless youngest son, Asuma, Hiruzen Sarutobi was much more composed.
Even though he hated Broly to the core and wished he could tear him to pieces, he still managed to put on a kind old man's expression and slowly said, "Mr. Broly, Sakuya's rude behavior was a moment of confusion, please forgive her. But, what do you intend to do with my grandson?"
Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi could still maintain his kind old grandfather persona under such circumstances, Broly couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for him, and suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard in his previous life.
If he pretends to be a gentleman his whole life, then he is a true gentleman.
In Broly's previous life, this phrase was primarily used to describe Liu Bei.
Although Broly felt that comparing Liu Bei to Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat insulting.
However, regardless of whether Hiruzen Sarutobi was a true gentleman or not, he did a lot of stupid things in his life, and he is largely to blame for pushing Konoha to its current state.
Broly raised his eyes and glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi indifferently. "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that this kid and I get along quite well, and I want him to join Kigakure."
Upon hearing this, everyone from Konoha was stunned; they simply couldn't believe their ears.
You killed someone's parents, and now you want their child to serve you? Isn't that too hellish?
Broly, seemingly oblivious to the shock of the crowd, continued slowly, "By the way, aren't you going to the front lines? Do you think those Cloud Village people can hold off my men?"
Two days have passed since Hiruzen Sarutobi's opening speech, and Broly was surprised that the Konoha army had not yet launched an attack and was still holed up in the village.
Although Broly could guess the reason, it was nothing more than Hiruzen Sarutobi being afraid that as soon as he led his army away, he would cause trouble in Konoha.
But the way you're doing this, you're really not treating the Cloud Village ninjas on the front lines like human beings.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's kind smile froze instantly, leaving him speechless for a moment.
Just then, everyone suddenly heard a huge noise coming from outside the village. It was a loud rumble that made the ground tremble slightly.
"Wh-what was that sound?"
Asma was startled and quickly turned his head to look towards the village entrance, his face full of vigilance.
Standing to the side, Kurenai Yuhi frowned, listening carefully to the noise, and said in a deep voice, "It sounds like footsteps, and there are a lot of people."
"Wasn't that footsteps a bit too loud?"
Matt Kai frowned, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed off with his feet, unleashed his chakra, and leaped into the air, jumping dozens of meters high, gazing intently towards the village entrance.
The next second, Might Guy's pupils suddenly contracted, and he saw a dark mass of figures rushing towards Konoha Village like a tidal wave.
Might Guy didn't dare delay. He immediately landed steadily and reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Hokage-sama, a lot of people are coming towards the village. There should be more than a thousand!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in Konoha turned to look at Broly, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.
"The people from Kigakure have attacked so quickly!?"
Ebisu turned pale with fright.
It was obvious that they all thought the ninjas from Kigakure and Kirigakure under Broly's command had arrived, but wasn't this a bit too fast?
What are those people from Kumogakure doing?!
It's only been less than 3 days!
Not to mention that Kumogakure has two perfect Jinchuriki in charge, and their strength is formidable. Kumogakure's ninja army has a full 3000 people. Even if they were 3000 pigs, the people of Kigakure wouldn't be able to catch them all in 3 days!
"I am the Eight-Tails Killer Bee, eight of them, I'm going to kill you! Yeah!" Just then, a strange and arrogant rap voice resounded throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village at an extremely high volume.
Immediately afterwards, a tremendous tremor shook the earth, as if some enormous creature was approaching.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look, and saw a huge monster with a bull's head and eight thick octopus tails charging towards Konoha Village. It raised its massive cloth and slammed it down with a powerful punch.
With a deafening roar, the wall of Konoha Village was smashed to pieces by its punch, collapsing and sending debris flying everywhere.
It is the Eight-Tailed Gyūki!
"What?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were startled, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.
They had thought that the people coming were from Kigakure and Kirigakure, who were under Broly's command, but they didn't expect it to be the Eight-Tails and the people from Kumogakure!
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Dispersion!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Binding Technique!"
At that moment, countless dark figures rushed in like ants from the huge hole smashed open by the Eight-Tails Gyūki; they were the ninja army of Kumogakure.
As soon as they rushed into Konoha Village, they formed hand seals without hesitation and unleashed a barrage of Lightning Release ninjutsu. Blue and white lightning bolts, like venomous snakes, rained down on the surrounding area of Konoha Village, launching an indiscriminate attack. Wherever they passed, flames soared into the sky, and explosions rang out one after another.
Suddenly, with a loud "boom", countless buildings in Konoha Village were struck by lightning and collapsed in the direction of the village entrance. Many villagers who did not have time to escape were affected, and screams of pain rose and fell.
Cries, wails, and explosions mingled together, plunging Konoha Village into a hellish scene.
It was only then that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others finally realized what was happening, and their hearts were filled with shock. It wasn't Broly's men who had come, but the Cloud Village Ninja Army, who had originally been their allies!
"What the hell do these guys from Kumogakure mean?!" Asuma was furious at the mess at the village entrance and couldn't help but shout angrily.
Broly leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes full of amusement. He immediately guessed Tsuchitai's intentions and thought to himself: Goodness, what a trick!
