Somewhere in the country of flowers, the ninjas of Otoshinobi Village gather in a small village.

"Lord Red Lotus, Lu Zhuzhu and the others who were sent to intercept the Konoha reinforcements today have not come back until now, and there is no news, but someone from the Daimyo Mansion of the Flower Country has sent information back, saying that three Konoha ninjas have entered the Daimyo's Mansion, and these three Konoha ninjas also have a ninja wearing Lu Zhuzhu's clothes, it should be him."

On the side, dressed in green and with dark blue hair, it was the red lotus.

At this time, the red lotus was no better than the red lotus that Kakashi had seen in Otoshinobi Village, she had grown up and had a cold aura on her body.

A pair of eyes, with a sinister aura.

"Oh? It seems that Lu Zhuzhu's waste, not only did not intercept Konoha's ninja successfully, but was also completely wiped out by the other party, which is really embarrassing. Red Lotus said coldly.

"What Lord Red Lotus said is very true." The ninja whispered.

"Red Lotus, it's not about these things now, Lord Orochimaru is coming over soon, and the whereabouts of the Kusanagi Sword haven't been found yet, so it's hard to explain to Lord Orochimaru." Zuo Jin said coldly.

"Hmph, I don't have to worry about what I do." Red Lotus snorted coldly and said.

"Red Lotus! This time, Orochimaru-sama asked you to be the team leader, if that's what you do, when Orochimaru-sama comes, I'm afraid you'll be the first to clean up. Tayuya sneered.

"I, Red Lotus, have nothing to explain to the four of you, you just need to obediently do what I say, and that's it. If you are not convinced, you can sue Orochimaru-sama, and when the time comes, see who can't bear it. ”

Honglian said coldly, and then turned to leave.

"Damn! This woman is really getting more and more arrogant! Oni Tong Maru said viciously.

"After Jun Maru was taken away by Lord Orochimaru for secret training, this woman relied on Lord Orochimaru's trust to command us, which is really too much!" Tayu was also unhappy.

They are all women, and Tayu also thinks that he doesn't have to be worse than the red lotus, or even stronger, but Orochimaru is very fond of the red lotus, which makes Tayu very unhappy.

In fact, not only are there many reasons to be unhappy, but the rest of the four people are also very unhappy.

"Okay, Tayuya, Oni Tongmaru, this red lotus is powerful, we fight with her too much, there is no point. If we mess up Orochimaru-sama's affairs because of this, we will also be unlucky. Now, what we have to do is to find the Kusanagi Sword in advance and let Orochimaru-sama see our abilities, so that we can be valued by Orochimaru-sama! Zuo Jin said calmly.

Although Zuo Jin's temper is usually hot, he still has a different kind of calmness at critical moments.

"Zuo Jin's words are right, but the news of this Kusanagi Sword is still unclear, and the news of the third village has not been found." Tayuya whispered.

At this time, Zuo Jin showed a smile and said, "Actually, I found the third village yesterday, and I brought someone to destroy it." ”

"What! Did you find it? Why didn't you tell us? Oni Boy Pill was shocked.

"There are too many people who know, and Red Lotus will definitely know too. Now that I've got the third clue, plus the previous two, we can already set off to find Kusanagi. Orochimaru-sama should be here tomorrow afternoon, and it should be in time, so let's go together. When the time comes, the credit for finding the Kusanagi Sword will be ours! Zuo Jin said excitedly.

Tayuya, Oni Tong Maru, and Jiro Fang were all a little excited when they heard this, in their opinion, if they got the Kusanagi Sword earlier than Red Lotus, they could gain more trust from Orochimaru, and at that time, they would not have to succumb to Red Lotus.

"Well done! Near left, we will set off when it gets dark, and we must not let Red Lotus find out! Tayuya said excitedly.

"Naturally, I was prepared for it." Zuo Jin said with a smile.

What the four of them didn't notice was that not far from the room, Red Lotus was retracting the breath of her whole body, listening to all this quietly.

"It's really four fools, not enough to succeed and more to lose, think I really don't know that Zuo recently went to destroy the third village? Since you are so enthusiastic, let you go first, and when the time comes, the Kusanagi sword will still be mine. Orochimaru-sama's favorite person.,It's just me! What are you? ”

Red Lotus sneered and left the place.

At the Daimyo Mansion, the three Kakashi met with the rest of the ninth class.

"Brother Kakashi!"

As soon as Kakashi saw Kakashi, she rushed over with a flutter, but as if she had thought of something, she didn't hug Kakashi directly as before, but said with some embarrassment: "Brother Kakashi, it's been a long time." ”

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Kaori's restrained appearance.

The girl has grown up, and now she has the reserve of a girl, and she will not climb on top of herself at every turn as before.

Kakashi was a little disappointed by such a change, but more relieved.

Kakashi stepped forward and rubbed Kaori's hair and said, "It seems that Kaori has grown up." ”

"That's it! Brother Kakashi, I'm pretty good now! Kakarin enjoyed being spoiled by Kakashi, and said even more proudly when she heard this.

Kakashi smiled and didn't say anything.

And at this time, Shigego also stepped forward and shouted, "Kakashi-san, is everything going well?" ”

"Chonggo, I'm back, so naturally everything is going well." Kakashi laughed.

At this time, Jugo was already one meter nine, taller than Kakashi, and Kakashi looked at Jugo and raised his head slightly.

"That's great." Shigego smiled, and then said with some hesitation, "Kakashi-san, I'm sorry for something, and I'm here to apologize to you. ”

Kakashi was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Before, you said that you hoped that after you came back, you could see that we all became shinobi, but we didn't do it, I'm sorry!"

Jugo bowed deeply towards Kakashi, expressing his apologies.

Kao, Sasuke, and Sakura also remembered this incident at the same time, and they were all a little ashamed.

So, the three of them also bowed to Kakashi at the same time and said, "I'm sorry! Kakashi-sensei (older brother). ”

The Uchiha Fire Rice on the side looked confused, what the hell is this goal, three years from lower ninja to middle ninja?

This operation is too annoying.

If it's like this, you still don't let people live?

Kakashi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and said, "It's okay, I said three years before, and there is still one year to go, so there's no need to do that, now let's discuss the situation of the mission first." ”

Shikaku smiled and said, "Okay, I told you a long time ago, Kakashi won't blame you." ”

The four of them were relieved when they heard this.

They care so much because they have a deep affection for Kakashi.

Living up to Kakashi's expectations was the hardest thing for them.
