afternoon.
The sun is just right and it shines warmly on people.
Meatball shop.
At this time, it had been occupied by the chunin.
Kamizuki Izumo, Koko Tetsu, Shiranui Genma, Yuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Tamashii Raido, Mitarashi Anko, Inuzuka Hana and others are all here.
They usually like to get together at the meatball shop when they have nothing to do.
Today there are two more people, Tsukiko Hayate and Uazuki Yuugao, who have just become chunin.
This time it’s rare that all my friends are here.
What's more important is that Metkai said that Kakashi will also come to the party.
Kakashi hasn't partyed with them for a long time since what happened.
Later, because Kakashi entered the ANBU, they spent less time together.
It was rare that Kakashi finally returned to normal.
"Hi! Everyone! As promised, I brought Kakashi!"
Metkai brought Kakashi to the meatball shop, and they were accompanied by Uchiha Ryosuke.
Due to Uchiha Ryosuke's relationship with Uchiha Makoto, and because he is familiar with himself and gets along well with everyone, his relationship with Kakashi and Gai is also very good.
Kakashi walked into the meatball shop listlessly and said hello to everyone.
It's not that he doesn't want to come to the party this time, but that Kakashi has been practicing hard since he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
In addition, he also had to 'pay off his debt' and help Uchiha Makoto complete the task, so he seemed to be lacking in energy.
In fact, what Kakashi wants to do most right now is to go home and lie on the bed, and then take out his collection and review it. The author's update speed is really touching, he has already refreshed it three times.
"Hello everyone!" Ryosuke Uchiha greeted everyone with a smile on his face.
He is one class below Makoto Uchiha, and is in the same class as Metkai and the others, but in different classes, so he is not very familiar with these people.
But with Kai mediating in the middle, we soon started playing together.
Among the Konoha Chuunin, the elites of the younger generation are basically all here.
After everyone sat down, they quickly started chatting happily.
Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but said to Kakashi:
"Hey, Kakashi! It's my birthday soon. Have you thought about what gift to give me?"
He didn't really want a gift, he just wanted to talk about it after not seeing each other for a long time.
It was said that he was asking for a gift, but the subtext was actually inviting Kakashi to his birthday party.
"A gift? I remember your birthday is in October, there are still nearly two months left! Why are you in a hurry!"
Kakashi pondered for a moment and replied.
"So you really remember my birthday?"
Asuma was stunned for a moment and looked at Kakashi in surprise.
He has been competing with Kakashi since they were students.
It's just that Kakashi graduated early, far ahead of his peers.
Naturally, their relationship is not close, but because they have been classmates for a year and have close social circles, their relationship is not bad.
Of course, it was mainly because of Kai.
"If I remember correctly, it should be October 18th." Kakashi said in a natural manner.
Kai suddenly complained dissatisfiedly:
"Kakashi, I didn't expect you to remember Asuma's birthday, but not mine!
As your lifelong rival, I am saddened by your actions.
But even so, there is nothing you can do to dampen my passion!
This is the charm of youth! "
Seeing Kai talking to himself, Kakashi said helplessly:
“If I remember correctly, your last two birthdays were celebrated at my house.
I also gave you your wallet!
I just have a better memory.
I remember everyone’s birthdays! "
Kakashi and Gai were alone at home.
Every year on Kai's birthday, he would bring ingredients to Kakashi's house to celebrate his birthday with him.
At first, Kakashi couldn't drive him away, but after he got used to it, he found that eating with more than one person was not bad.
As for the way to be stubborn, it was naturally Uchiha Makoto who taught Kai.
"Ah?! Is that so? Hahaha~ Maybe I remembered it wrong!" Kai scratched his head and laughed.
"What's possible? It's obvious!" Kakashi complained.
"As expected, only Gai can restore Kakashi."
Looking at the two of them, the girls also whispered.
As friends, they were naturally worried about Kakashi's condition.
Now that they saw Kakashi fully recovered, they were relieved.
The boys' chatting is either about their favorite sports or their favorite 'works', or they are talking about girls.
But now there were other girls at the party, and they were also ninjas, so the conversation quickly shifted to current affairs and politics.
"Asuma, do you have any inside information to share with us recently? What's going on with the village and Kumogakure?"
Shenyue Izumo couldn't help but gossip.
Sarutobi Asuma's own strength and talent are among the best in their small circle, not to mention that he is the son of the Third Hokage, so he can often get some 'inside information' and share it with their circle from time to time.
Teenagers naturally enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.
But this time Asuma shook his head, as if he knew something but couldn't say it.
"How can you talk about such a core secret of the village casually, and my relationship with the old man has been very bad recently, and I don't want to make myself uncomfortable.
We ninjas below only need to obey the orders from above, no matter what. "
In fact, Asuma didn't get any important information.
Because his father, the Third Hokage, didn't get any accurate confidential information.
Since the fourth generation Hokage suddenly took action to remove Danzo during the high-level meeting after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the power of the village has basically been firmly grasped by the fourth generation.
The so-called "one emperor, one courtier", although the third generation is still at the center of politics, there is some top secret information, and Namikaze Minato may not necessarily communicate with the third generation before it is confirmed.
Even the third generation couldn't get the exact information, let alone Asuma.
If Kurenai Yuhi wasn't here, Asuma would definitely stop pretending and just say he didn't know.
It's just that boys always have a habit of being particularly good-looking in front of the girl they like.
"Tsk, it's boring, just say something casually." Shenyue Izumo complained.
Some information is said to be confidential and cannot be leaked in principle, but in many cases rules are dead and people are alive.
It's okay for them to 'guess' the truth by leaking a little information among themselves.
After all, Asuma had done this before.
They have been ninjas of Konoha for generations, and there is no dissent between them.
In particular, some people's fathers were jounin in the village, and they could be regarded as children of high-ranking officials.
The internal flow of intelligence between them is also an unwritten rule.
If you know some information earlier, you can also make some preparations earlier.
"Kakashi, what about you? You are in the ANBU, so you must know many secrets. Can you tell us some of the things you can tell us?
The village formed an alliance with Kirigakure, and Kirigakure sent us a large amount of supplies.
Under such circumstances, does Kumogakure still dare to start a war with the village? "
Gangzitie couldn't help but ask.
Although the identity of ANBU is kept secret, many things are only relatively secret.
People like them, even without Kakashi saying it himself, can know some less important information.
"What you can say is what you know, and I can't say what you don't know!"
Kakashi took a sip of tea, shook his head and added:
"And there is some top-secret information that Minato-sensei only shares with Makoto. I don't know much of it!"
"What about you, Genma? Aren't you and Lei Tong the Hokage's bodyguards directly under the Fourth Generation? Do you know anything?"
Gangzitie still refuses to give up, and being too curious is also a problem.
After finishing the meatballs, Shiranui Genma picked his teeth with Senbon and said calmly:
"Do you think I will know information that even Kakashi doesn't know?
Just like Kakashi said, only Makoto-senpai is qualified to obtain the Hokage's first-hand top-secret information!
If you are really that curious, just ask Senior Cheng. "
"This... let's forget it, I'm not particularly curious..."
Gangzi Tie's neck shrank. The last time he took the Jonin exam, he had met this senior who was only one year older than them.
The gap between strength and status is so big that it feels similar to the pressure when facing a fourth generation adult.
How dare he ask ANBU for secrets?
"How did you pass the chuunin exam? Did you know that ninjas have confidentiality regulations?"
And he slapped Gang Zitie on the back of the head with the same slap.
Gangzitie covered his head and said aggrievedly: "I saw Kakashi hadn't come to the party for a long time, so I just made a joke to liven up the atmosphere."
"That's not okay. If you ask such random questions, Senior Cheng will hear it. When the time comes, he will invite you to the ANBU for tea, and you will know that you are afraid!" Bing Zu Lei complained.
"No way, I'll just..." Gang Zi Tie's face turned bitter.
"Hello, please give me two servings of three-color meatballs."
At this time, two handsome black-haired guys, one big and one small, walked into the meatball shop.
It was Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.
Since Uchiha Makoto had already helped the two of them complete the process of 'sincerity', he was not afraid of the two of them imagining things and crippling himself.
In addition to training, Uchiha Makoto is busy maintaining the friendly alliance between Konoha and Kirigakure all day long, and helping to take care of Terumi Mei, the Kirigakure messenger who is resident in Konoha.
So in normal times, Itachi's training was left to Uchiha Shisui.
"Shisui, this way!"
Seeing Shisui, Uchiha Ryosuke immediately waved.
"Hello, seniors!" Shisui politely greeted everyone with Itachi.
Shisui's big eyes also attracted the attention of several single female ninjas.
Just when Shisui and Itachi were sitting down.
boom!
A violent explosion sounded.
boom! ! !
Huge shock waves formed waves of air.
In the distance, a mushroom cloud rose.
Everyone who was enjoying afternoon tea leisurely felt the ground shake.
"What happened?!"
"Is it an enemy attack?!"
Everyone was shocked. Kakashi stood up suddenly and said to Shisui next to him:
"Shisui! Come with me and have a look!"
