Tenzo left the balcony silently, and after a while, the third Hokage stood up from his chair and paced back and forth a few times before he spoke in a thoughtful tone, "Shikaku, what do you think of letting Kakashi go to the country of waves?" ”

"Hokage-sama, I don't think there's a need to rush to the country of waves for the time being." Nara Shikaku shook his head with a serious expression, and after gently putting the report in his hand on the desk of the third Hokage, he continued, "I just wanted to say that according to my judgment, these two things that have happened recently are likely to be deliberately done by other forces against Konoha behind their backs. ”

"Huh?"

The expression of the three generations of Hokage suddenly froze, and after a moment, he sat back in his chair and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you think." ”

"Actually, I can't say what I think, I just vaguely feel that something is wrong."

Nara Shikaku pointed to one of the reports on his desk and said, "First of all, let's start with the sacrifice of Kosuke's predecessor, although this senior is only a lower ninja on the surface, but his real strength is also an outstanding figure in the upper ninja, you also said that he has been running around in the ninja world all year round and collecting countless important information for the village, and ordinary people do not have such a super survivability." ”

"But he died near the village after sending the information back to the country of waves, and you have also seen the latest autopsy report, in addition to the fatal wound on the chest, Kosuke-senpai has several clear strangulation marks on his prosthesis, which shows that Kosuke-senpai obviously fought with the enemy, and was not unsuspecting to be attacked and killed by someone as stated in the first report."

"In addition, afterwards, you also asked the Inuzuka clan, the oil girl clan and the Hyuga clan to work together to investigate around the village with the dark department, and no traces of the battle were found at all, if the battle really broke out so close to the village, it would be impossible for the patrol force to be completely undiscovered, which means that Kosuke's predecessor was first killed in other places, and then the body was transferred to the edge of the barrier outside the village, the purpose is to allow us to find out as soon as possible."

"And then what happened to the Intelligence Department showed that this was a trap."

The third generation Hokage said with a gloomy face: "If the body of the Mist Hidden Ninja is not sent by the exchange of gold this time, I will definitely let people evacuate the Intelligence Department as soon as possible." ”

Nara Kakusa's expression was equally solemn, and he stretched out his hand to point to another report: "It is not yet certain that the person who killed the Kirikin Shangninqing and the person who killed the predecessor of Kosuke was committed by the same force, and the exchange of gold does not know where Qing was killed by whom, but the two incidents have faintly linked our Konoha and Ha no Kuni and the three parties of the Fog Hide. ”

"Because of the matter of Kosuke's predecessors, we will definitely send someone to the country of waves to investigate, and the information he sent back earlier suspected that the fog was secretly controlling the power of the country of waves, not to mention whether this information is wrong or not, if it is true, once our people go to the country of waves and encounter the people of the fog, they will immediately suspect Qing's death on our Konoha head."

"Although the fog has closed the village since the third war, but from the recent information back, it can be found that the fog has changed its appearance, and we and the fog are still allies of each other, although the covenant on paper has never been binding, but if it causes misunderstanding..."

When the three generations of Hokage heard this, their eyes suddenly sharpened: "In other words, this is a conspiracy against Konoha, and this conspiracy has been launched from the moment Kosuke's body was discovered!" ”

Nara Shikahisa nodded at first, and then slowly shook his head and said: "It's possible, but I always think that this conspiracy seems too crude, but it is certain that there must be other forces behind the two things that are secretly guiding everything, and I always feel that the other party seems to be very happy to see us send people to the country of waves to investigate." ”

The third Hokage nodded slightly: "I feel this way too, but the country of waves still needs to send someone to go, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Nara Shikahisa said with a serious expression: "Hokage-sama, according to my guess, if there is really any conspiracy, then the country of waves is just playing a front to attract our attention, in this case, we might as well investigate in another way." ”

The three generations of Hokage looked at him solemnly: "In what way?" ”

Nara Lujiu said with a cautious face: "Recently, when I helped you deal with government documents, I found that because the country of waves is building a bridge connecting the country of Yu, it has recently purchased a large amount of iron ore and grain from nearby countries, and we can find a caravan to go over to explore the situation first, and according to the feedback from the grain merchant who returned to the village a few days ago, it is still very safe for ordinary people." ”

"Just ordinary people's words..."

A hint of hesitation clearly flashed on the faces of the three generations of Hokage, if there was really something going on in the country of waves, what valuable information could ordinary people get.

"Hokage-sama! Just from the Kosuke seniors who have already died, you can find that the enemy's strength is extraordinary, and if Kiri's Aoi is killed by the same enemy, then you have to be vigilant. ”

Nara Shikahisa said in a solemn tone: "You must know that this Qing is a perceptual ninja with blood and white eyes, and he is an elite shinobi with good strength, but the report of the autopsy department and the gold exchange office jointly pointed out that he was beheaded without any resistance. ”

The three generations of Hokage nodded slightly, and it was precisely because of the particularity of this Qing itself that he called Lu Jiu over to discuss, and now it seems that it is safer to let the caravan go to the country of waves first according to the proposal just now.

But when he thought of the sealing technique on Kosuke's corpse, the three generations of Hokage felt a little inexplicable, and from the position of the country of waves, he was even more suspicious that there was something behind it...

Knock knock!

While the three Hokages were thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Hokage-sama!"

Kakashi pushed open the door and walked in, his eyes as lifeless as ever, and after walking a few steps to the desk and standing side by side with Nara Shikahisa, he said in a deep voice, "You have something to do with me?" Just now I've asked the shadow clone to go to the school and fill out the latest set of unqualified student forms. ”

The three generations of Hokage sighed in their hearts, then got up and said, "Shikaku, you can watch and arrange that matter, and I'll explain something to Kakashi." ”

Nara Shikahisa nodded and left the office.

The third Hokage walked to the window in a few steps: "Kakashi, you have eliminated all the members of the group that can be assigned to you among the latest graduating students of the school. ”

"Ah~"

Kakashi nodded blankly, "People who don't value teamwork shouldn't be ninjas, and it's a shame they didn't pass my test." ”

"It's because you can't let go of the past."

The three generations of Hokage turned around and walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out three student records, and placed them on the table in turn, saying, "This is the student you will be responsible for next year, I mentioned it to you a long time ago, and now the last candidate has been decided." ”

Kakashi's eyes rolled slightly, "Hokage-sama, I don't think I'm fit to be the shinobi teacher who guides them..."

The three generations of Hokage shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Kakashi, you should know that as the Hokage, I won't go over the school for no reason and appoint you to be their instructor right now." ”

Kakashi nodded, reaching out and picking up the two school records: "Naruto is the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, and Sasuke also has the possibility of opening the Uchiha Writing Wheel Eye. ”

The third Hokage nodded slowly: "It's good that you understand, although I'm not sure if Sasuke will be able to open the Sharingan now, but you are the only one in the village who has a Sharingan." ”

"If it weren't for the special situation, I wouldn't have directly handed the two of them into your hands, on the one hand, so that the tragedy of the year would not be repeated, I hope you can help Sasuke grow up and let him open the Sharingan that can control the Nine-Tails, and on the other hand, because you are a disciple of the Water Gate, Naruto can only rest assured if I ask you."

Kakashi couldn't help but have a sunny smile in his mind, looking at the photo of Naruto on the school registration file in his hand, the two faces gradually overlapped, but suddenly remembered the conversation with Naruto at the school gate a few years ago, he said in a light tone: "Even so, I won't change my censorship standards." ”

"Kakashi, plan ahead, Konoha must control the power of the Nine-Tails! Judging from the time between the previous ninja wars, there is not much time for peace, and Iwakure almost provoked a war a few years ago! ”

The three generations of Hokage looked at Kakashi with a serious face, thinking of his plans for the future of the village, his voice was a little low: "You have also read the information of Naruto and Sasuke, both of them have excellent grades in school, especially Naruto, I compared the information of him and other village people Zhu Li, he was able to withstand the chakra of the Nine-Tails at the age of five without losing his sense of self, except for his somewhat withdrawn personality, it can be said that he is an incomparably excellent human pillar force." ”

"I don't blame you for your strict implementation of your own standards, but you never believed in your students, you are not eliminating them, you are eliminating yourself!"

"There is one thing I haven't told you, Watergate saw at the beginning that you deliberately cooperated with your teammates to pass the bell grabbing test, but as your teacher, he is still willing to take the initiative to accept you, believe in you, and have expectations for you."

"Watergate believes in you, so I believe that Watergate's vision will not be wrong, do you understand!"

Kakashi was shocked.

"Mr. Watergate noticed it early on... But he still wants to believe that I will wake up..."

After flashing through his thoughts, Kakashi bowed and bowed solemnly to the three Hokages, "I understand. ”

~~~~~~~~~~

As night fell, Naruto, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes tightly, but his consciousness was in the mirror world, quietly browsing the memories of the many puppets synchronized with the three tailed beasts.

When he saw Orochimaru infiltrating the sand and secretly discussing with Dou how to get Kazekage to agree to bring Kazuo to Konoha to attack, the Nine Lamas immediately laughed.

"Hey! It seems that this stupid tanuki will indeed be taken to Konoha to wreak havoc. ”

King Mu rolled his eyes and said, "Nine Lamas, isn't Konoha your goal, with your relationship with Shouhe, if Shouhe destroys Konoha at that time, you shouldn't be happy, right?" ”

"Huh." An extremely playful expression flashed across the Nine Lama's face, and he looked down at Naruto and smiled, "Maybe." ”

Isofu silently switched the pop-up box to the side of no more slashing, and the fog was investigating the six people who died on the sea, and there was no information about the rhino dog for the time being, so it directly transferred the avatar of the three generations of Hokage.

At the beginning of the picture, the Nine Lamas kept a mocking expression, but not long after Shikamaru and his father walked out of the office, its gaze gradually became gloomy.

"Humph! I even want that Uchiha imp to use the Sharingan to control me..."The Nine Lamas laughed and said, "Naruto, I asked you to give that ninjutsu to that kid, you won't forget it!" ”

"What ninjutsu?"

King Mu and Ji Fu looked at the Nine Lamas in unison.

The Nine Lamas' eyes were fierce: "Shut up!" ”

Ji Fu and King Mu glanced at each other, and then the two tailed beasts seemed to have quietly made some agreement, and each of them shifted their gaze to the picture in mid-air again as if nothing had happened.

Naruto looked at the screen in mid-air with a smile on his face and said, "I've already given it to him since I came back from the gold exchange." ”

Hearing this, the Nine Lama's face softened, and then it glanced at Kakashi in the mid-air picture, and directly called up a huge pop-up frame next to it alone, and soon it showed a gloating expression again: "Naruto, look, Kakashi was moved by your father." ”

Naruto glanced at Kakashi's down-pulled blindfold, and after waving his hand to close the freeze-frame screen, he called up the puppet battle game's selection interface: "No way, the three generations of Hokage didn't lie to Kakashi, the truth is often to the point, and it can easily shake people's hearts." ”

The corners of the Nine Lama's mouth cracked to reveal snow-white steel teeth: "It's a pity that the father of that kid Shikamaru was disrupted this time, otherwise the three generations of Hokage would definitely let Kakashi go to the country of waves to investigate." ”

"I'm curious, if this broom head really goes to the country of waves, Naruto will kill this subordinate that your father values, you must know that this guy spends most of his time thinking about how to die."

The corners of Naruto's mouth curled into an arc: "He's a famous copy ninja Sharingan Kakashi, it's so easy to die, and I've always had a clear grudge, he once guarded me and my mother for so long, I wouldn't kill him with my own hands." ”

The Nine Lama's crimson vertical pupils flashed with a glow, and it lowered its head and said, "Not necessarily, right?" It's not easy to die, and in my opinion, it's even more painful for this guy to be alive! That's what Naruto really thinks! ”

Naruto smiled and didn't speak, and after selecting the avatar of the four generations of Mizukage on the pop-up frame, he disappeared.

"Hey!"

The Nine Lamas laughed strangely, then raised his paw to enlarge the bullet frame, and after plucking out a piece of fingernail to poke the Uchiha Itachi's head, it also started the battle.

When the Nine Lamas disappeared, King Mu immediately winked at Isofu, who was actually already sliding the avatar of the character on the pop-up frame, and soon it brought up Sasuke's memory screen.

When the two tailed beasts found out what ninjutsu Sasuke had obtained, they instantly burst out laughing.
