Under Konoha's seemingly gradually calming appearance, the entire ninja world is still turbulent.

Forces on all sides are silently accumulating strength.

After the last defeat and setback, Yanyin Village and Yunyin Village did not give up.

Only Fog Hidden Village, it seems that it has officially withdrawn from the Third Ninja World War, and there may be only two or three kittens left who are still active in the Ninja World, showing the existence of Fog Hidden Village.

Of course, they are not the only ones who are secretly accumulating strength.

With the rise of the yellow flash and the Konoha blue cat on the battlefield, Konoha has become more comfortable in the arrangement of high-end combat power.

In the midst of this seemingly stormy tranquility, a battle was taking place in a place in the ninja world.

Land of Rain.

A group of ninjas wearing Iwa ninja costumes and wearing Iwa ninja forehead guards are fighting against a group of strange ninjas in black robes.

It can be seen that in front of this group of black-robed ninjas, there is not much ability to resist, just a few faces, and a ninja has fallen.

"Nagato! Don't keep your hands around, they're all rock shinobi, intruders! We can't stop them on the Sand Ninja side, but on the Iwa Ninja side, we know that the organization must stop them in the rain country! An orange-haired youth snorted as a rock shinobi lost his ability to fight in his Water Escape Ninjutsu.

This group of ninjas in black robes is the ninjas of the Akatsuki organization.

Today's Xiao Organization, after several years of development and absorbing a large number of ninjas, has become the largest force in the Rain Country except for Fog Hidden Village, and has a good influence.

The fact that the Xiao organization was able to develop so quickly had a lot to do with the "peace" policy they pursued, but the biggest reason was because of their three leaders.

In particular, the leader named Yahiko has an instinctive leadership ability.

Of course, during this period of time, Wuyin Village and the leader of Wuyin Village, Sanshoyu Hanzo, focused their main energy on Sand Ninja, which gave them such a great opportunity for development.

Today's Xiao organization, in the back region of the Land of Rain, has a strong influence.

Today, Iwa Shinobi suddenly entered the Land of Rain from the Land of Earth, and they were also discovered and stopped by them for the first time.

So the scene in front of me happened, Yahiko, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, led the people of the Akatsuki organization to intercept Iwa Shinobi.

"Good!" The red-haired Nagato responded.

He has a gentle personality by nature and is not a murderer, so he keeps his hands in battle.

However, after hearing Yahiko's voice, Nagato also knew that he could no longer keep his hand.

Nagato, who has the eye of reincarnation, has completely exploded strength, and these rock ninjas are even more difficult to stop.

In a few moments, all Iwa Shinobi was resolved.

Yahiko, Nagato, and the others all had irrepressible joy on their faces.

They have finally grown to the point where they can protect the Land of Rain, and this is the power they have been pursuing, to be able to protect their country, and then to bring peace to the world.

Their teacher, Jiraiya, still had a great influence on them, and after they had power, they did not think of forcibly exchanging power for peace, but through a more friendly way.

"Xiao Nan, did Hanzo send us a message? Do you have a response to our joint offer? Yahiko asked.

The blue-purple haired Xiao Nan shook his head and said softly, "No." ”

"Then write to him again, let him understand the sincerity of our organization, this time we will keep Iwa Shinobu out, and sooner or later he will understand that we are actually the same as him, all for the land of rain."

Yahiko didn't mean to be discouraged in the slightest, since it didn't work once, then he would come a few more times.

"Hmm!" Xiao Nan nodded vigorously.

For Yahiko's words, she listened to her words.

...

It's just that everyone in the Xiao organization is happy, but there is one person who is not happy.

That's the Konoha Root Leader Danzo.

Originally, he meant to let the ninja of the root pretend to be the rock ninja to stir up the wind and rain in the rain country, so that Hanzo, the leader of the rain hidden village, had a grudge against the land country, and even directly declared war on the rock hidden village.

Don't doubt Hanzo's temper, that's what he did during the Second Shinobi War.

Danzou wants to use the Land of Rain and Hanzo's power to put pressure on Iwakure Village, so that the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki agree to his proposal and plan.

It's just that Tuan Zang didn't expect that in addition to a rain hidden village in the country of rain, there was actually a Xiao organization, and the strength of this Xiao organization was very strong, and all the root ninjas he sent out were wiped out.

There is nowhere to vent his anger in his heart, and Tuan Zang feels very aggrieved.

However, the message from the root ninja before he died gave him a new plan.

"Call me a shrine maiden." Danzo's voice rang out beneath the roots.

"Yes."

Someone immediately answered in the dark corners of the shadows.

In this root base, his words are everything, even if the ape is slashed, he will take the dark ninja with him.

In the eyes of the Ninja of the Roots, Danzo's orders are above all else.

Without making him wait long, a dark ninja wearing a mask and wrapped in a black robe appeared in front of Danzo.

"This mission is successfully completed, and you will be given a period of vacation." Danzou said, handing him a scroll.

The walking shrine maiden, whose real name is Yakushi Nonoyu, is the director of an orphanage in Konoha and one of the root intelligence officers that the Danzo relies on the most.

"Can't... Is this the end of it? Yakushi Ye Naiyu didn't take the scroll and asked rhetorically.

Tuan Zang's eyes narrowed, "Then you go to do a three-year hidden mission, and I will set you free, but if your orphanage loses you for three years, what will become of it without Konoha's financial support, I don't dare to guarantee it." ”

Silence, the pharmacist under the mask, Nonoyu, had a heavy face.

She knew that after the orphanage lost her, those orphans with potential might be absorbed into the roots by Danzang, and those who didn't have potential would definitely be abandoned.

This is unacceptable to her.

I had no choice but to take the scroll in Tuan Zang's hand and leave quietly.

Looking at her departing back, Danzang fell into deep thought.

"Xiao organization, an interesting organization, I guess even Hanzo didn't find the threat of this organization, right?"

...

"Sheto, what do you say Kakashi should do?"

In a remote training ground in Konoha, the three of them, Sheren, Mizumon, and Kushina sat by the small river next to this training ground.

This is where they used to train together.

As you grow stronger, you have more and more responsibilities and more tasks to do, and you rarely have time to get three people together.

Watergate and Kushina sat together, and Sheren was a little farther away from them.

And his gaze was straight at the flowing river, unwilling to look at Watergate and Kushina.

In his own words, he just doesn't want to eat dog food and he doesn't want to be a shiny light bulb.

In Sheren's opinion, the most embarrassing thing is a threesome, the two suddenly become pairs, so the last remaining person is very embarrassing and uncomfortable.

No way, some things just came so suddenly.

To say that with the relationship between the three of them at that time, in fact, Sheren also had a chance to pursue Jiu Sinai, and maybe he could succeed, but he didn't think in that direction at all.

Mainly because as a traverser, he has preconceived ideas.

At that time, he had just come to the ninja world, and looking at Mizumon and Kushina was meeting a star, which seemed very unreal.

And in his subconscious, Watergate and Jiu Sinai are a couple.

Sometimes a person's subconscious mind is so powerful.

For example, when he saw Orochimaru for the first time, his body and mind would involuntarily produce fearful emotions, but in fact, he had never seen Orochimaru, so why was he afraid? It's not because of the inherent thoughts, because of the subconscious.

The same is true when facing Danzo.

As a traverser, you have an innate advantage in understanding things, but you can also be affected by your own thoughts.

However, as time goes by, the sense of rejection and the feeling of staying out of things is getting weaker and weaker, and many times, he has already looked at things from the perspective of a ninja in the ninja world.

Like Kakashi now.

has experienced the departure of his two companions, especially Yuan Yelin, who died at his own hands, and this stimulation is completely difficult for him to accept.

If it was from the perspective of a traverser, Kakashi in the original book should have entered the Konoha Shadows at this time to experience, and after countless tasks, he would not have time to think about these problems anymore.

As time passes, Kakashi will gradually forget about this pain in his heart.

But from the current point of view of the people, Kakashi would never recommend Kakashi to join the shadows.

You must know that his heart is very dark now, and when he enters the dark department, which is almost invisible to the sun, it is not realistic to let him out of the shadow in his heart, and he is just using darkness to kill the darkness.

As it turned out, Kakashi was later exploited by Danzo.

was bewitched by the group to attack the fire country daimyo in the face of the ape flying in the sun, let's not talk about it for the time being.

The only thing that knows the date of Kushina's birth is the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, Bo Feng Shuimon and Kushina couple, as well as Kakashi, who is Kushina's personal protection of the shadows.

So, how did the masked man at that time, Uchiha Obito, know about Kushina's birth date?

Whether it is the Ape Flying Sun Slash, or the Water Gate and Jiu Sinai, it is impossible to leak it, so it is self-evident who said it.

So, sending Kakashi to the Shadows is definitely not a good choice.

Because at his current age, although he is already a ninja, he is still only thirteen or fourteen years old after all, and his basic ability to distinguish between right and wrong is still a little weak, and it is very likely that he will be bewitched.

"I suggest that you assign him two teammates from the beginning, since you have lost something, then make up for him again, don't try to let time dilute the sadness, sometimes it may have the opposite effect, it is better to dilute the original feelings with new feelings.

Giving him two more teammates is the best option. ”

Sato gave his most sincere advice, because he didn't want to see Kakashi's two best friends in the future, whether intentionally or not, fall into crisis because of this.

This time, he is confident that even if Obito appears again, he will definitely stop him.

Even if the original water gate had the technique of flying thunder, he couldn't choose between Naruto and Kushina, but this time, with him and the water here, he could definitely protect Kushina and their child Naruto.

Not knowing what decision had been made in Sheren's heart, Watergate just nodded thoughtfully.

"But... Kakashi, he's already a shinobi, and he's a shinobi who can take charge on his own... Led the team yourself, right? "Watergate was hesitant.

In fact, what bothered him the most was Kakashi's shinobi identity at this time.

He is already a ninja, so theoretically speaking, Bo Feng Shuimen, who is also a ninja, is no longer qualified to be his leading teacher, at most he is the captain of the upper ninja team.

However, the tasks of the upper ninja are basically randomly assigned, and many tasks only require the participation of one upper ninja, and the two upper ninjas seem to be a bit wasteful, after all, the upper ninja is a relatively limited and valuable resource even in Konoha.

Moreover, becoming a teacher who has been following him after becoming a shinobi will give people a feeling of not being responsible enough.

I was on an urgent mission before, so I couldn't help it, but I didn't see that Bo Feng Shuimen went alone to do the task, so he was taken away by Tuan Zang and taken away Yuan Yelin.

"Come out with your teacher's tough attitude, Kakashi definitely needs you at this time, if you don't care about him at this time, then there really is no one to help him." She said earnestly.

Kakashi's fate was actually quite tragic, his father was framed and committed suicide when he was young, and then his mother left with his father.

After becoming a ninja, the two most important companions left one after another, and even one of them died at his own hands, normal people should not be able to withstand the huge pressure if they either fell into the darkness at this time.

Kakashi was still just depressed, and he was already a very resilient person.

"But you also know that with Kakashi's current ability, there is simply no one among his peers who can cooperate with him anymore, and with his character, it is not easy to get close to him."

At this point, Kakashi's situation is indeed not easy to handle.

If you want to talk about his strength, he is already a shinobi, except for the Hokage and a few elders, others can no longer talk to him with an identity advantage, but his age is still only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, although his mind is mature, but he is not so mature.

After all, his father died when he was young, and Qimu Shuomao is not the kind of person who is very scheming and deep in the city, otherwise he would not be calculated.

This is different from Uchiha Itachi, who has been trained by Uchiha Fugaku, a person who has deep scheming, means, and city government, since he was a child, and his mind has become very mature.

In the words of Sarutobi Hichichi, Itachi Uchiha was able to think like the Hokage at the age of seven.

Just as both Sakuto and Mizuto were deep in thought, Kushina, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly spoke, "I heard that Kai and Kakashi have a good relationship, he is one of the few people who can communicate with Kakashi in school, and he is also one of the few people that Kakashi still ignores. ”

Hearing this, the eyes of Sheren and Watergate lit up at the same time.

The two glanced at each other and said in unison:

"Then transfer Maitkai to your squad!"

"Then transfer Kakashi to your squad!"

Kushina: "......"

"You two together, I feel like I'm the one who is superfluous." In this regard, Jiu Sinai said that he was speechless.

Sheren and Watergate looked at each other and smiled.

Watergate grabbed Kushina, who was about to leave, and pulled her back.

Jiu Sinai was just putting on a show, so he sat down.

"You guys are enough, I'm still here, can't I go back and talk to me again? Let Kakashi follow you, I can guarantee that as long as he lasts for a month, if he doesn't go crazy, he'll be absolutely fine. She covered her forehead and was speechless.

This mouthful of dog food is real, and it is a thousand gold!

Watergate is nothing, with a happy smile on his face, Jiu Sinai's face is a little thinner, and his cheeks are slightly red.

Sheto finally understood why Kakashi, who was close to protecting Kushina, was bewitched by Danzo.

This Nima looks at these two people every day, you and me, licking their wounds in the corner alone, the good brother dies, and the girl who likes herself and the girl she likes is killed by her own hands, this is a person who will go crazy.

They thought that warm family affection could pull Kakashi back from his sadness, but they didn't know that too much dog food would only make people crazy.

Of course, Jiu Sinai is not the kind of person who is shy and doesn't dare to speak, even if she blushes, she still shouted: "If you can't get used to it, you can find one yourself, I think Sister Lingxiang is very good, I wait for you to go back every day, and I will sit on a table of delicious food for you, if I... Tsk, such a good girl, where to find it. ”

"Yes, yes." Watergate is not a small matter to see the excitement.

"it, it's going to get down to business, what are you going to do over there, Kakashi? Anyway, I don't support him joining the Shadows, even if it is the most beneficial to his strength. She forcibly pulled the topic back.

Speaking of Kakashi, Mizuto and Kushina also put aside their joking attitudes.

"I think what you said makes a lot of sense, I'll ask the three generations if they can arrange some more people to join my team, or just simply arrange them into your team, after all, I'm afraid there are only two of us who can talk to him now."

"Whatever you want, as long as you can convince three generations, I can."

Watergate nodded.

Later, the three of them talked about something else.

For example, the wedding date of Mizuto and Kushina, what preparations did Mizuto and Sheto do to compete for the position of Hokage, what plans would Mizuto do if Sheto successfully ran for Hokage, and so on.

For the position of the Hokage, both of them attach importance to it, but they don't attach so much importance to it, probably because the competitors are Sheren and Watergate.

Even Kushina said that no matter which of the two of them was elected Hokage, she would be okay with it.

Now she understands that no matter what, she can't become the Hokage.

Not only because of her identity as a nine-tailed human pillar force, but also because she is the only orphan on the face of the Vortex clan so far.

After a rare time of relaxation and partying, Sato walked alone through the streets of Konoha with the afterglow of the setting sun.

I don't know why, the occasional relaxation and socialization is very joyful in the process, but I feel more pressure when it is over.

"After all, there are still bonds..."

At this time, the streets are still a little deserted, and the war continues to affect Konoha.

It wasn't until he saw the figure standing at the door in the slightly dim afterglow of the sunset that she felt that the pressure on her body disappeared a lot, and even the speed of her footsteps was much faster.

"Lingxiang, is dinner ready? Today I had a day of gags with Watergate and Jiu Sinai, and my stomach was a little hungry and panicked. ”

The spiritual eyes bent into the moon, covered his mouth and chuckled, "It's been done a long time ago." ”

With that, the two entered the cattery.

However, before entering, Sheren's expression turned cold, and he whispered: "If you dare to let me find out that you are watching here, you don't have to leave!"

After passing my words to Tuan Zang, you will make a decision, you still have one more chance. ”

The voice fell, and the feeling of being watched disappeared.
