The streets were deserted at night, but Akai suddenly stopped there.

"Kakashi, I have something to deal with, you can go back first!"

Looking up at the night scene that was already lit up in the distance, Akai seemed to have made up his mind, and his tone was full of determination.

"Is that so, can you talk to me about that?"

Kakashi asked with his hands in his pockets as he looked at the man who was clearly on his mind, his eyes glued to him.

"I'm sorry, next time."

Hearing Kakashi's concern about himself, Akai paused inexplicably as he left, and when he turned around, he barely smiled, trying to keep his tone steady, and refused his best friend's request.

Then, Akai's figure disappeared into the night.

The deserted streets, leaving Kakashi alone to stay there thoughtfully.

In the night, accompanied by the dim street lamps, a figure flickered one after another, and finally stopped under the brightly lit Hokage building.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Hearing a knock at the door, Tsunade looked up in surprise.

"Tsunade-sama!"

As the office door opened, a man in a green leotard appeared, his two thick eyebrows under his forehead particularly eyebrow.

"Akai, why are you here?"

Tsunade raised his head and looked at the unusually familiar man, a little surprised in his words.

"I have something important that I need your approval from Hokage-sama!"

At this point, Akai looked at Tsunade with a determined gaze.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Looking at Akai, who was obviously different from usual today, Tsunade's attitude gradually became serious.

After a moment of exchange, Tsunade's brows tightened together.

"I refuse, there is still too little information about Xiao in the village, and it is still too dangerous to act rashly!"

Without any hesitation, Tsunade quickly rejected Akai's request.

"Tsunade-sama, as his teacher, I feel that I have this obligation to solve all this, and that child's talent, I know, if he continues to let it go, I'm afraid that no one in the village will be his opponent in the future!"

Akai looked at Tsunade, his tone was very serious, and it didn't seem to be any exaggeration.

"Is it that serious?"

There was silence for a moment, and Tsunade crossed his hands together and rubbed them, and then asked with a movement of his lips.

"Because Ning Ci was also taught the Eight Dunjia Formation by me, and with his talent, he must have grown to a level that even shocked me!"

Akai just looked at Tsunade like that, and slowly voiced his concerns.

"Is that the technique?"

Tsunade crossed his hands, apparently in a contradiction inside.

As the fifth generation Hokage, Tsunade still has an understanding of Akai's technique, and it is recorded in the village's confidential documents that Maite Dai, who was not even a middle ninja, almost wiped out the famous ninja sword seven in the ninja world after performing that ninja at the cost of his life in order to protect Akai.

Even Akai, who grew up later, has completed many tasks with a high level of difficulty because of this technique.

Thinking of this, Tsunade's expression became cloudy.

"Leave it to me, Tsunade-sama, there is no one in the village better suited for this task than I am now."

Looking at Tsunade, who had obviously wavered, Akai continued to add without losing any time.

Indeed, as Akai said, there is no one better suited for him now.

But always Tsunade was still hesitant in her heart, because she knew very well how determined he was to solve his students with his own hands as a teacher, and no matter what the final outcome was, that man would probably fall into pain and contradictions for the rest of his life.

Because this task is really against human emotions, even if it is Akai's personal request, Tsunade is still a little hesitant.

However, thinking of the Hyuga clan who was tragically wiped out, and Naruto who was targeted by Xiao, Tsunade struggled in her heart for a while, and for the safety of the village, she still made a decision.

"Has it already been decided?"

Raising his head, Tsunade looked at the man in front of him with a solemn expression, and his tone was full of complexity.

"Yes, I'm ready."

Akai nodded, indicating his attitude.

"yes, so do you need any more help?"

Staring at the man in front of him, Tsunade frowned, as if he wanted to give him some help within his means.

"No, I don't need anyone else except for the accompanying dark part, but I have another request, that is, I hope that Tsunade-sama can protect the fireworks that have been added to the root, from an adult's point of view, it is too cruel to let such a young child bear all this, and the root is not suitable for a child's growth at all!"

With that, Akai crouched on the ground, and although he couldn't see his expression, judging from his tone, the man also felt guilty for it.

"I know, but Ning Ci's whereabouts, do you have any news?"

Agreeing to this request, which was not too difficult, Tsunade blinked and asked another extremely important question.

"I already have a way, the Oil Girl Clan still has a micro-incense worm that can track the enemy clan's family, it shouldn't be a problem if you have it!"

Akai, who was fully prepared, quickly answered Tsunade's questions.

"yes, then I'm bothering you, Akai!"

Saying this, Tsunade, who is the Hokage, also nodded slightly towards Akai.

It was precisely because of what this man was about to face that Tsunade was filled with admiration for him more and more.

"Then I'll quit first!"

The request had been fulfilled, and Akai naturally had no reason to stay here any longer, and after squatting on the ground, he said this, and then disappeared.

Late at night,Tsunade pushed open the window of the office.,Standing under the window, she felt an inexplicable feeling of depression.,It seems that Tsunade is still a little irritable about agreeing to Akai's request.。

And at this time, in the middle of the night on the quiet street of Konoha, Akai walked there alone.

However, passing around a corner, a white-haired masked man leaned quietly under a dim street lamp holding a book in his hand.

"Do you really want to do that?"

Even if he didn't have to look back, Kakashi knew who was stopping behind him, and his eyes didn't stay on that intimate heaven at all, looking at the shadows of the two under the light, Kakashi asked inexplicably.

"Ah, I've already decided."

Looking at his best friend who was still waiting here at this time, Akai's heart was complicated.

"yes, let's go have a drink, we haven't been together in a long time."

With that, Kakashi put away the Affectionate Heaven in his hand and looked at Akai and proposed.

For this request, Akai did not refuse.

In the middle of the night, the two walked slowly down the street, and it seemed extremely silent along the way, only the clear footsteps of the two of them.

It didn't take long for the two of them to stop at a tavern on the side of the road that still hadn't been sampled.

After simply ordering a few side dishes, they sat on the humble bar, and the two of them slowly drank sullen wine.

The wind rose in the middle of the night, and the two of them drank cup after cup like that.

Then, slowly, Kakashi spoke.

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

Ah Kai, who was holding the side dish with chopsticks, heard this, his body shook inexplicably, and then he returned to normal and replied in a normal tone: "No need, I'll be alone!" ”

"Yes, then as your best friend, give you a piece of advice, no matter what, don't be merciful, don't be busy refuting first, I understand you, Akai, although your thick nerves seem to be extremely unreliable, but in my eyes you are a companion worthy of trust, but because of this, I am afraid that you will not be able to do anything when facing that child!"

With that, Kakashi picked up his glass and drank it down.

Obviously, although there are some turmoil on weekdays, as Akai said, the relationship between the two of them is like that of best friends.

"I know, Kakashi, but there are some things that have to be done, right, as the teacher of Class 7, I believe you understand my feelings, that kid has gone too far, he must be corrected by forceful means, don't worry, I'm already prepared in my heart!"

Looking at Kakashi on the side, Akai put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the wine glass that was placed aside and brought it to his mouth.

In the long night, the two of them, who had not met for a long time, stayed here for a long time, until the sky lit up with a hint of fish belly white, and the two left.
