"Thank you for hospitality."
Ten-year-old Akihara Kagura nodded in thanks.
Perhaps it was because cannibals have short mouths, or perhaps Hiruzen Sarutobi allowed them to finish their ramen quietly, but Akihara Kagura was very polite.
"Thank you for hospitality."
Six-year-old Uzumaki Naruto was still acting very in sync.
If you ignore the hair colors of these two little guys, it would even make people feel that the synchronized movements of these two little guys are a bit like an older brother leading a younger brother.
"Go home and rest early."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took up his pipe again.
This encounter was not without success. Hiruzen Sarutobi thought he already understood Akihara Kagura, and was no longer obsessed with guiding him. He even sensed the brat's character from Akihara Kagura's attitude toward Uzumaki Naruto tonight. Not that bad.
"I'm leaving! Bye!"
Uzumaki Naruto happily patted his bulging belly, waved goodbye to Akihara Kagura and Sarutobi Hiruzen, and walked back in the direction of his residence.
"I can't tell at all..."
Akihara Kagura stared at Uzumaki Naruto who was retreating.
"oh?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth, looked back at Akihara Kagura who was standing there, and asked: "Kagura, do you want to see anything from this little guy Naruto?"
"You can't see his sadness at all."
Akihara Kagura's eyes became a little dark and unclear, and she whispered: "If someone abandons me, I will be so sad that I want to kill someone."
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little bad.
"I am leaving."
Akihara Kagura said no more and walked towards the root organization base.
"This little devil..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head helplessly.
The old man, who had held the power of Konoha for decades, walked step by step towards the direction of the Hokage Tower. His voice suddenly became a little deep and cold.
"Kakashi, Tenzo."
As the voice fell, Hatake Kakashi and Tenzo appeared beside him.
The two of them were originally on vacation this morning, but while they were still resting in the evening, they were suddenly ordered to serve as the Hokage's bodyguard.
"What do you think of Akihara Kagura?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the Hokage Tower, not looking at his two subordinates at all, but just continued: "After the Chuunin exam is over, that little guy will enter the ANBU, and I will arrange for him Come to your team.”
"..."
Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but glance at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The Third Hokage did not look back, and his steps were very firm. It seemed that he did not want to discuss with others. This was an order from the Hokage.
"yes."
Hatake Kakashi quickly lowered his head.
As for Tianzang next to him, he always has little say in such occasions.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stopped and continued earnestly: "By the way, don't underestimate that little guy. His talent for wood escape is very strong. From now on, he has been able to display quite powerful combat abilities."
"yes."
Hatake Kakashi and Tenzo looked at each other.
Sarutobi Hiruzen mentioned Akihara Kagura's shortcomings again: "But that little guy's basic ninja education is not up to standard. His temperament is a bit too extreme, and he cannot be taught by the leading Jonin in the village. You and Tianzang can only teach him more in the future."
"this…"
Hatake Kakashi suddenly felt a little troubled.
Because when he first saw Akihara Kagura, he felt that the little guy was not a normal child, and he would kill people for Shimura Danzo at every turn...
However, whether it was the time he saw Ichiraku Ramen this morning, or the fact that he heard that the kid pretended to be him to deceive the candidates and almost caused a serious accident, Hatake Kakashi felt that the child's character must be worse than he imagined. .
but…
ANBU must obey orders from the Hokage.
"yes."
Hatake Kakashi could only agree seriously, and then suggested: "Since Akihara Kagura has the Wood Release Blood Successor, assign him to Tenzo's class..."
"..."
Tenzo looked at Kakashi Hatake in disbelief!
Tenzo is an honest man who believes that Hatake Kakashi is a reliable senior.
At this moment, Tianzang suddenly heard that Kakashi Hatake would cause him a big trouble, and his mental activities finally became uncontrollably active.
Hey, hey, are you kidding, Kakashi-senpai!
Obviously you also know how awkward my relationship with Akihara Kagura is. That little guy yells at me every day, why do you put him in my class? You must know what kind of torture I will suffer!
"Can."
Sarutobi Hiruzen approved Hatake Kakashi's proposal.
After the Hokage finished giving his orders, he waved his hands towards them and said, "Okay, you guys, please step back first and I'll go on my own."
"yes."
The two figures disappeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.
In the streets and alleys.
After leaving the Hokage, Tenzo finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said anxiously: "Hey, senior, put me and that little guy Kagura together..."
"I believe you can do a good job."
Hatake Kakashi reached out and patted Tenzo on the shoulder, and continued: "Tenzo, I always thought that you would also become a reliable senior."
"But…"
"Tenzo."
Hatake Kakashi interrupted him and whispered: "That child has the same Wood Release Blood Successor as you. Maybe this is also a fateful encounter. I hope you can make him become a person like you who is silently The person who protects Konoha in the dark."
"All right…"
Tianzang could only scratch his head helplessly and put forward his own plan: "I will first teach him to slowly develop the Wood Release Blood Successor Ninjutsu. If he encounters any problems, I will ask my senior..."
"Can."
Hatake Kakashi agreed and put his hand into his pocket: "Since today's escort mission is over, let's go back and rest early."
"Um."
Tenzo scratched his head in distress and walked towards home.
"..."
Kakashi Hatake leaned against the wall with his head lowered.
The famous cold-blooded Kakashi in the ninja world, his mind gradually began to empty out. Most of the time, even he himself didn't know what he was thinking.
Hatake Kakashi's fate seems to be destined to be lonely.
When he was a child, his father suddenly committed suicide, leaving him an orphan while he was in school; when he grew up, his close teammates died in wars one after another; and later, his teacher and his wife both passed away during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, leaving Hatake Kakashi with a A feeling of being oppressed by fate and being out of breath.
Hatake Kakashi felt that his future life would be muddled. He would always stay in the Anbu and perform endless tasks, and he would never be able to have anything worthwhile to be happy about.
After a long time.
Hatake Kakashi stood up and left the alley.
Waiting until Kakashi Hatake left, a mysterious masked man in a black robe quietly appeared, looking in the direction he left and snorted coldly.
"Hmph, this waste..."
"Hahahaha…"
A pitcher plant monster with a black and white body slowly emerged from the ground. The white half-face smiled playfully and said to the mysterious masked man: "It seems that there is no need to pay attention to Kakashi Hatake now, right? Shouldn't we pay more attention to Konoha?" That little Mudun kid who appeared again?"
"maybe…"
"Can that kid become a helper in the Moon Eye Project?"
