Hokage Tower.
Inside the Hokage's office.
Tsunade saw the returning Uzumaki Naruto and Jiraiya.
"What happened?"
Jiraiya seemed to look a little depressed when he looked at Tsunade.
"No, it's a good thing."
Tsunade glanced at the information on her desk and let out a long sigh: "The information sent by the intelligence personnel at the Root Department is that Orochimaru was killed by Uchiha Sasuke..."
"!!!"
Everyone present widened their eyes!
Because when Konoha collapsed, Orochimaru murdered the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, which has sown the seeds of fear in the hearts of Konoha ninjas to this day.
"Orochimaru...is he dead?"
Jiraiya's expression became complicated, and he sighed softly and said: "When Orochimaru took Uchiha Sasuke away, I was still thinking that that guy wanted to take that little guy's body, but I didn't expect that he He actually died in the hands of that little guy..."
"That's always a good thing."
Tsunade closed her palms and pressed her elbows on the table: "Now let's check Naruto's training results first. I plan to reorganize Naruto and Haruno Sakura back into the seventh class, so I specially prepared them in advance for this purpose." I have prepared an opponent for you..."
"certainly."
After Tsunade finished speaking, she added: "However, after hearing my idea, the Hokage's assistant Akihara Kagura wanted to place a root ninja in the seventh team so that the seventh team can form a complete establishment..."
"I reject!"
Uzumaki Naruto waved his fist and rejected this proposal!
Because Team 7 will always belong to him, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura, he doesn't want anyone else to join in and take Sasuke's place!
"..."
Haruno Sakura looked at Tsunade with worried eyes.
"I also declined his offer."
Tsunade understood Uzumaki Naruto's thoughts very well.
Because her disciple Haruno Sakura also thinks so.
certainly.
If the personnel proposed by Akihara Kagura were ninjas, Tsunade would not disapprove, but the personnel proposed by Akihara Kagura were just ordinary ninjas. Tsunade immediately rejected the idea. She was worried that Akihara Kagura wanted to use this to control the Nine The tail jinchuriki.
but…
Akihara Kagura did not choose to give up.
Akihara Kagura wanted to send a root ninja to monitor Uzumaki Naruto in the name of worrying that something might happen to the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki. Tsunade had no way to refuse this because it was passed at the Five Shadows Conference in Konoha Village.
This Five Shadows Conference…
Specifically referring to the five Hokages of Konoha Village.
Over the years, when Jiraiya took Uzumaki Naruto to practice, he seemed to intend to let Uzumaki Naruto release the chakra of the Nine-Tails, and many dangers appeared in the process.
In any case, Tsunade refused Akihara Kagura to place personnel in the seventh team, and it was not easy to refuse Akihara Kagura to send people to monitor Uzumaki Naruto in order to avoid accidents.
"never mind."
Tsunade glanced at Shizune beside her and said softly: "Let me test your results first! I can specially select an opponent for you. In order to wait for Naruto to come back, I deliberately did not let him go on the mission. …”
"who?"
Uzumaki Naruto was still a little curious.
"Ahem...I'll be here in the afternoon."
Tsunade coughed a few times and then said: "The opponent I prepared for you is Kakashi, but he was transferred away by the Hokage Assistant. He will first go to help the roots test another person..."
This is a must.
Because Akihara Kagura wants to send a root ninja to monitor Class 7, Akihara Kagura and Hatake Kakashi, the captain of Class 7, are old friends, and they must be recognized by Hatake Kakashi, the captain of Class 7. .
so…
Hatake Kakashi accepted Akihara Kagura's invitation to check the strength of the root ninja first to see how powerful the root ninja was and what kind of person he was.
Exclusive training ground for roots.
When Hatake Kakashi came here, he was still a little repelled by Akihara Kagura. When he saw Akihara Kagura, he wanted to complain: "Hey, I said you guy, there is no need to send people to monitor us. Bar…"
"This is also for your safety."
Akihara Kagura looked at Hatake Kakashi and said softly: "In the past few years, Naruto and Jiraiya-sensei have caused a lot of trouble when they were practicing. It's always right to be careful... I originally wanted to Place a person in Team 7, but Tsunade-sama rejected it, but in order to avoid any accidents with Naruto, let's send someone to monitor him!"
"Your behavior is becoming more and more like Danzo..."
Hatake Kakashi thought of the root leader of the previous generation.
"Let's take a look at the person I picked first..."
Akihara Kagura patted Hatake Kakashi on the shoulder and said in a very friendly manner: "If you think his strength is not bad, I will ask him to monitor Team 7. If you think his strength is not good enough, , then I will change it to someone else..."
"..."
Hatake Kakashi shook his head and remained silent.
The instructing Jonin of Class 7 made up his mind. No matter who Akihara Kagura sent out later, he would not agree to Akihara Kagura's proposal.
certainly.
Unless Akihara Kagura sends out the fragrance.
"Come out."
Akihara Kagura clapped his palms and looked behind a big tree in the training ground: "Let your old superior test your strength to determine whether you are qualified to accept the next task I arrange for you... "
"..."
A hooded figure stepped out from behind the tree.
The figure gently took off his hood, revealing a face that looked familiar to Kakashi Hatake: "Kakashi-sensei, long time no see..."
It was Uchiha Sasuke who had just returned to Konoha.
"..."
Hatake Kakashi was stunned.
Hatake Kakashi was shocked on the spot.
Hatake Kakashi couldn't understand.
"you…"
Kakashi Hatake looked at the grown-up Uchiha Sasuke in front of him in disbelief. His eyes were frozen in his sockets and he couldn't move: "Is it Sasuke? What on earth...is going on?"
"It's a long story."
Akihara Kagura stood next to Hatake Kakashi and said slowly: "At the beginning, Orochimaru was always greedy to get Sasuke's body..."
"In order to kill Orochimaru, I took a fancy to Sasuke's talent, took Sasuke into the root, and asked him to perform a secret mission. I was deliberately taken away by Orochimaru and defected. I explored the secrets of Orochimaru and continued to the village. Delivering news about Orochimaru..."
"at last…"
"Sasuke succeeded in killing Orochimaru."
"Now that his mission is completed, I naturally want him to return to Konoha."
When Akihara Kagura said this, her face seemed a little helpless: "I originally wanted to let Sasuke return to Team 7 and return to your command to prevent Naruto's Nine-Tails from losing control, but Tsunade-sama refused. After accepting this proposal, I can only ask Sasuke to monitor Team 7..."
"..."
Hatake Kakashi's brain was a little confused. He could only keep rubbing his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to signal Akihara Kagura: "Wait, please let me slow down..."
This is a bit of a lot of information.
Kakashi Hatake had lamented and regretted countless times that all his companions and disciples had defected and fled Konoha. Unexpectedly, his companions were still causing trouble in the ninja world, and his disciples turned out to be false defectors. The real purpose was It was to carry out the mission of killing Orochimaru...
Now…
Mission accomplished.
Sasuke is back.
Kakashi Hatake looked up at the sky, feeling that he needed some compensation for his regrets and regrets in the past few years, but he couldn't blame Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Sasuke.
after all…
Assassinating Orochimaru must be an S-level mission.
This kind of mission is definitely not something that an ordinary Konoha jounin like him can know.
but…
For the sake of my friends...
Why don't you reveal a little bit of news to comfort me?
Hatake Kakashi remembered that when he and Akihara Kagura went to eat barbecue and ramen, they occasionally mentioned the defection of Uchiha Sasuke. Akihara Kagura always smiled and drank pear juice with a smile, as if he was worried about it. These things don't matter at all.
However…
All crises have now been resolved.
The story of Uchiha Sasuke's defection is also false.
Hatake Kakashi didn't feel much discomfort in his heart. He just sighed and said: "You guy, when you wanted to recruit my students, you should have told me at least..."
"Sorry, Kakashi-sensei."
Uchiha Sasuke stood up and apologized in a deep voice: "It was me who asked to join the Roots in order to gain strength..."
"..."
Kakashi Hatake didn't look at him.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Akihara Kagura frowned, seeming to feel a little strange: "Didn't you also want to join the Roots at the beginning? Is it normal for Sasuke to want to join the Roots?"
"Now I don't want to join."
Hatake Kakashi took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "The reputation of the roots in the village now is almost the same as that of the Uchiha clan's police force before..."
After finishing speaking, Hatake Kakashi felt that he had said the wrong thing. Saying this sentence might irritate Uchiha Sasuke next to him.
after all…
The original Uchiha clan has perished.
However, when Uchiha Sasuke heard Hatake Kakashi's words, he seemed to be indifferent to the matter, and even nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood something.
"alright."
Kakashi Hatake didn't want to test when he saw Uchiha Sasuke, and he didn't even think about letting Uchiha Sasuke monitor him. He directly waved to Uchiha Sasuke and said: "Let's go, now we will re-register you." Class Seven…”
"Tsunade-sama has refused."
Akihara Kagura interrupted Hatake Kakashi.
"You didn't tell Tsunade-sama the truth, did you?"
Hatake Kakashi glanced at Akihara Kagura helplessly.
"The identity of the Root Ninja is top secret."
Akihara Kagura shook his head and said in a cold voice: "The Hokage cannot interfere in the root affairs, and the Hokage assistant will not interfere in the affairs of Konoha Hospital. This is the rule set by the five Hokages... The two of us are friends, so I will let him Come and meet Sasuke."
"..."
Hatake Kakashi felt that the rules were set in a mess.
What kind of rule is this?
Why do the Hokage and the Hokage Assistant focus on different things? Normally, shouldn't the Hokage assistant be allowed to interfere in ANBU matters?
but…
The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, is a medical ninja. Doesn’t this seem incomprehensible?
"Kakashi-sensei."
Uchiha Sasuke took a step forward and actively rejected Hatake Kakashi's proposal: "I haven't killed Uchiha Itachi yet, and I can't go back now..."
On the one hand, he still needs revenge.
On the other hand, he also needs to compete with Phosphorus for the position of root leader.
Although Uchiha Sasuke knows that he can enjoy a short period of warmth when he returns to Team 7, Uchiha Sasuke also knows that the position of the root leader in the future is the top priority.
For Uchiha Sasuke, the position of the root leader is very important. This means that the idiot Uzumaki Naruto will really become Hokage in the future, and the two people can still fight side by side;
And the most important thing is that the current root is the base camp of the surviving Uchiha. If you want to revitalize Uchiha in the future, Uchiha Sasuke must defeat Kosovo and become the leader of the root!
“I’m still going to stay at my roots.”
Uchiha Sasuke has a very deep feeling for the roots, and also has a deep feeling for Team 7: "In the future, I will also be able to protect Team 7 in secret..."
"Test this little guy's strength."
Akihara Kagura patted Kakashi Hatake, an old friend, on the shoulder, sighed and said: "I have also tried to persuade him, but he is not willing, so let him stay at the root for now!"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi fell silent.
The instructor of Team 7 thought for a while before nodding his head: "I agreed, but Naruto and Sakura will definitely be disappointed..."
"Kakashi-sensei, it's better not to tell them the truth yet."
Uchiha Sasuke shook his head, with a contemptuous sneer on his lips. When he grew up, he was still the arrogant Uchiha: "If that idiot Naruto knew about it, he would definitely delay my affairs. When I kill Uchiha Itachi, Tell that idiot again..."
"..."
Hatake Kakashi knew that Uchiha Sasuke was right.
This student…
We are really moving towards revenge step by step!
But this student doesn't look like he has lost his mind for revenge, because Kakashi Hatake can see it from Uchiha Sasuke's face...
Sasuke's heart...
There must be a place for Class 7.
Hatake Kakashi could tell that Uchiha Sasuke was laughing at Uzumaki Naruto, but he did not want Uzumaki Naruto to be involved in the whirlpool at the root...
Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but look at Akihara Kagura next to him.
How did Akihara Kagura teach Uchiha Sasuke? This little guy neither forgot his revenge nor was he blinded by revenge...
"If you don't want to come back and want to protect them in secret..."
Hatake Kakashi raised his finger towards Uchiha Sasuke and said softly: "Then let me see the results of your years of training outside..."
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke took off his cloak, raised his finger towards Kakashi Hatake, and his eyes became slightly serious!
Challenge your own teacher…
This is something Uchiha Sasuke has thought about for a long time!
Second update!
A little late again!
