Darkening System Start From Naruto
Chapter 19

Gentlemen-Hokage, I heard this news in my shop. Two drunk customers in my store and they leaked their plans.” Li Yaoxiang blushed and replied with a gasp.

It doesn't look like a lie.

“Un.” Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, “Who are these people trying to harm the village ninja?”

“Uh... Those two people are regulars in my shop. One named Yuichi, who sells vegetables. The other is Miyada Yuya, a ninja.”

“They seem to say that they will act in two days. For the specific details, I don't know. When they were drunk, they talked a little. I don't understand what they are saying is right or wrong, but I worry that the things they say are true. I don't want to see Konoha Ninja get hurt, so I'm reporting this now.”

During the story, Li Yaoxiang started to show a hint of nervousness. It really looks like an ordinary person who is afraid of injuries Konoha ninja.

Not long after, the masked Kakashi suddenly appeared beside Sarutobi Hiruzen and whispered the background of Li Yaoxiang's identity in his ear.

Sarutobi Hizaki seems to be the type of person who welcomes people with a smile. But he was still listening very carefully.

After confirming that there was no problem with Li Yaoxiang's identity, he replied: “En. Very kind. I understand this problem. Thank you for telling us this news. You go back first. I'll send someone special to those two.”

Li Yaoxiang smiled like an honest person who looked amazed at Hokage, “Thank you. If it wasn't for the ninjas guarding Konoha, I wouldn't be here, still living in the village safely. ”

After Li Yaoxiang left, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to Kakashi who instructed to the side: “Send someone to check the person selling this vegetable, named Yuichi. And that ninja is Miyada Yuya.”

Akashi did not answer.

But just as he was about to leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to remember something, adding again: “Two people and including the one who just reported; send people to monitor to see if there is anything abnormal.”

“Ya!”

……

After leaving the Hokage room, as if nothing had happened, Li Yaoxiang returned to the store as usual to entertain customers.

On this day, no matter if it was the middle-aged vegetable seller Yuichi or Genin Miyada Yuya, they had no further contact with Li Yaoxiang. This was the approach proposed by Li Yaoxiang when planning how to act yesterday. To avoid suspicion from others, the two agreed.

Therefore, in the process of monitoring their three people, the Konoha Ninja did not find anything strange. Their lives are nothing special.

However, after investigating the identities and backgrounds of these three men, the Konoha Ninja discover that they all have one thing in common, and they are all, that is, their family members were accidentally killed by the Konoha Ninja during an inter-ninja fight, and now, they are just left alone in the family.

After finding this suspicious point, it made them slightly more confident about the news given by Li Yaoxiang. However, Li Yaoxiang's suspicions were indisputable. After all, Li Yaoxiang's family had a similar accident as well. Therefore, they would not rule out the possibility that Li Yaoxiang was an associate.

After reporting his conclusion to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he did not pay much attention to it at the moment. After all, the people involved were just ordinary people and Genin.

Even with the possibility of Li Yaoxiang's accomplices, as long as they were ready, no one would escape. Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he could not let a big wave happen. Therefore, he had only sent someone to continuously monitor them.

As for why not send the Yamanaka Clan* people to spy on their true minds?

[*TL Note: The Yamanaka Clan (Yamanaka Ichizoku) is a shinobi family found in Konohagakure. They specialize in mind-related techniques, and they own and run a flower shop in the village. They have traditionally led the Konoha Barrier Team.]

How did Konoha explain to the masses that it planned to hurt?

If they were rash to deal with the commoners but could not provide any solid evidence, wouldn't this make the villagers' hearts turn cold? How could the other commoners stay in Konoha with peace of mind? Didn't everyone start to fear and live in fear?

Therefore, no matter what Yuichi, Miyada, and the others had in mind, as long as they did not, Konoha would not act on them. At most, they would only pay more attention to the suspect.

………….

Just like that, two consecutive days passed.

None of the ninjas who were watching discovered anything unusual. None of them had any contact.

It was peaceful, but it wasn't until the time reported by Li Yaoxiang that they discovered the anomaly.

That is, Yuichi, a greengrocer, hides a handful of kunai with an explosive talisman in his house. And today, he took her. The same goes for Miyada Yuya. Only Li Yaoxiang was without any abnormalities. The shop is open as usual.

Not long after, the two men joined together on one of the crowded streets.

This road is one of the paths to the Academy.

And their goal was also clear: the students in the Academy or the ninja instructors.

This was also the advice Li Yaoxiang gave them, saying that it would be easier for them to start here. After all, the instructors had retired from the frontlines for a long time, and perhaps their vigilance would not be so strong.

Also, even if the plan fails, they can find some future “ninja” to support them.

To avoid suspicion from the surrounding crowd, the two communicated gently after the meeting.

“Where is Li Yaoxiang? Why did Li Yaoxiang not come?”

Yuichi, the vegetable seller, the first thought that came to his mind was that the damned Li Yaoxiang must have shrunk!

However, what made him unexpected was that middle-aged ninja Yuya Miyada patted her on the shoulder at this time and immediately covered Li Yaoxiang: “Quiet, that's okay. I gave him another task. If our side is exposed and attracts the attention of others, it might be easier for him to succeed.”

Yuichi, the vegetable seller, his stomach full of anger disappeared as soon as he heard those words.

Soon after, the two acted as planned.

Yuichi walked in front and acted first. After all, as an ordinary person, he could not detonate ‘explosive charm’, so he still needed the Miyada ninja to be in the distance.

However, not long after the distance between the two of them opens and even before they can get close to the Academy, two masked Anbu ninjas suddenly appear in front of them, blocking Yuichi's path: “What you have planned has been found! Surrender obediently! ”

Yuichi was startled at first, and then his face became extremely hideous!

“Sial! Go to hell!” Yuichi roared loudly. He took out a kunai with a cham detonator attached to it and rushed forward.
