Looking through the barbed wire fence at Training Ground 44, you can see a large number of hired carpenters working in the forest of death to repair the land and trees.

Because of the battle a few months ago, the worst hit was the Forest of Death.

The destructive power of large psychic beasts, as well as the baptism of a large number of luxurious ninjutsu, are all major reasons why the Death Forest has not recovered so far.

Just looking from the outside, you can think of the intensity of the battle that night.

A crater formed like a meteorite falling, and trees were uplifted from the ground for miles, leaving only a bare wasteland.

For now, the money that Konoha has invested in repairing the Dead Forest is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, and the manpower and material resources used are impossible to understate.

Kakashi was practicing alone in a certain fringe area of Training Ground 44, and in order to achieve a certain goal, he had to make himself strong.

Entering the Watergate Squad, to be honest, there is no particularly big improvement in his strength.

His future path had already been determined by a certain man's preparation.

Whether it is the middle ninja period, or after reaching the upper ninja level, or a more distant level, a complete and orderly plan has been made.

And he just followed the advice that the man gave him and went all the way.

Therefore, it is only natural that entering the Watergate squad cannot improve much strength.

The growth of his strength cannot bring any breakthroughs with ordinary methods.

Even the wave wind and water gate with space-time ninjutsu is the same.

Kakashi sat in front of the stake, with his back to the stake, and sat calmly on the ground, with the unsheathed white tooth knife lying flat on his legs, performing the so-called 'man-sword unity' realm, and feeling the breath of nature in this state.

After a long time, he slowly stood up from the ground, holding the white tooth short knife in his hand, on which there was already a layer of light blue shimmer attached to it, which looked extremely inconspicuous.

That was the manifestation of the change in the nature of the thunder attribute chakra.

The White Fang Short Knife has an extremely powerful nature change chakra adsorption effect, and its own thunder retreat lies in strength and speed, that is, thrusts.

Once unsheathed, it must be a thunderous speed to slay the enemy.

Immediately, he waved the white-fanged short knife in his hand and turned to slash at the stake behind him.

The white fanged dagger passed through the stake, but it didn't leave a trace, as if the swing was just an illusion.

But if you look closely, you can still see a hair-thin incision and a little splash of wood chips.

"Failed again?"

It is very difficult to make a knife cut without leaving a trace of the incision.

But that's what Kakashi is trying to achieve right now.

In order to perfectly control the chakra nature changes of the thunder attribute, this is an exercise that must be completed.

But at present, the effect of his training in this area is far from satisfactory to him.

"Kakashi, are you here? To go......"

A voice came from behind, and Kakashi didn't hesitate to raise the White Fang Short Knife and start attacking the man behind him.

As a result, it only slashed the air, and the person behind it had already dodged in advance with the teleportation technique.

"This is not the time for real combat, Kakashi."

Mizuto stood behind Kakashi, patted him on the shoulder with her hand, and smiled at him slightly.

"I'm just curious about how fast Mr. Watergate is."

"So, are you satisfied?"

"There's still a big gap."

Didn't notice the movement of the water gate at all, space-time ninjutsu? No, it was supposed to be just a technique caused by the teleportation technique.

For his level, he doesn't need to use space-time ninjutsu to the level. If that's the case, it's too big and too much.

"It's already very rare to have such a strong strength at your age."

Watergate comforted him.

Geniuses will inevitably be a little arrogant, and Watergate understands this very well.

With ordinary methods, it is impossible to make a genius like Kakashi obedient, and occasionally exposing his strength is also conducive to the cohesion of the team, so that Kakashi has a sense of identity, and then it can slowly affect him.

Kakashi shook his head, didn't say anything, put the White Fang Short Knife back in its scabbard, and followed Mizuto out of Training Ground 44 and began to assemble at the Konoha Gate.

"Mr. Watergate, what is our mission this time?"

"A-class mission."

Watergate sighed.

“？”

Kakashi was a little confused.

It's not that he is afraid of the difficulty of A-level tasks, since he graduated, he has encountered A-level tasks no less than a dozen times in his mission career.

Although the A-level mission is very difficult, it is not impossible for him to complete.

What he was puzzled by was that there were still two almost pure newcomers in the team.

Obito and Rin.

Although it has been a period of running-in, most of the tasks performed are D-level and C-level tasks, and I have not even been in contact with B-level tasks, and it is a bit incomprehensible to suddenly have to perform A-level tasks.

"The front line is tight, and a while ago, the village sent another unit to support it. In addition to the ninjas who have to stay in the village, the team that can also accept the deployment of the mission is becoming less and less in the village. Otherwise, this kind of task would not have been able to be spread on our squad. ”

Watergate explained.

Kakashi understood, to put it simply, there was a slight shortage of manpower, and even a pure rookie squad could no longer act as leisurely as before.

After all, the internal turmoil a few months ago, the number of Konoha shinobi suddenly decreased a lot.

In terms of personnel transfers, it is natural to make corresponding changes.

"And ......"

"And?"

"Nothing."

Watergate was preoccupied with his face, obviously worried about something.

The signs of cloud concealment in the Land of Thunder are suspicious, and it is likely to be unfavorable to Konoha.

At the previous Shangnin meeting, the Hokage revealed a message to them, if Yun Yin also intervened in the battlefield on Konoha's side, as the third generation of Hokage's Sun Slash, he would personally go into battle to block Yun Yin's three generations of Thunder Shadow.

When the time comes, the power of the village will become even more empty.

Konoha has invested nearly half of the battlefield forces in Iwakuin and Iwakuin, and the forces of Sand Cain and Iwain have not all been pressed, although the three generations of Kazekage are missing, giving Konoha a good signal.

However, the third-generation Tsuchikage of Iwakure, known as the 'Two Scales', has not yet appeared on the battlefield, but the deterrent power of this third-generation Tsuchikage is not much better than that of the Tailed Beast.

At the gate of Konoha Village, Rin was already waiting here, but he didn't see Obito's figure.

Needless to say, it must be lost in the road of saving the lost grandmother again.

It wasn't until it was almost time to set off that Obito was late, panting and standing in front of the three of them.

"Every time it is the last, can't you give your love to those grandmothers who are lost on the road of life?"

Kakashi stared at Obito with dead fish eyes.

"Alright, Kakashi, don't say that about Obito, as long as you're not late."

Watergate relieved the siege of Obitu.

But Obito snorted at Kakashiro and stood aside with a stinky face, indicating that he didn't want to stand in the same position as him.

The four members of the team began to embark on the road of mission, hurrying through the huge forest outside Konoha.

"Mr. Watergate, what is the content of the A-level mission we are carrying out this time?"

Obito asked excitedly.

You know, this is the first time in his life that he has carried out a difficult A-level mission, which is very memorable.

Besides, he has now begun to perform A-class missions, and S-class missions will not be too far away.

Become a middle ninja, an upper ninja, then the Hokage, and then there, hehe......

Thinking of something, Obito hurriedly coughed and pretended to be serious.

"Intercept the enemy in the coastal zone."

"Coastal?"

"The reasons for this are complicated, and we'll find out when we get there."

After the water gate was finished, Obito didn't ask.

"But is it really enough for just the four of us?"

Kakashi asked.

He is not immersed in his own fantasies like Obito, and in the A-level mission, he will definitely encounter a ninja of the same level as the water gate, and there may be more than one number.

"Don't worry, the rest of the team will work together. And when it comes to the upper ninja, I'll deal with it first. ”

Watergate's eyes became serious.

It's really amazing confidence. Kakashi said to himself.

But I also understand that Watergate also said this with such confidence.

The elusive space-time ninjutsu, for ninjas who have no means to deal with it, whether it is a lower ninja or an upper ninja, there is only one end that cannot be reacted - death.

◎

In the coastal canyons, with the sound of birds, electric light illuminates everything in front of you.

Then, with a thunderous explosion, the rock wall at the top of the canyon exploded, scattering into countless huge stones and falling towards the road below.

The enemies below suddenly sprang into disarray and began to dodge the huge boulders falling from above.

If you get hit, it's not a joke.

Seeing that the rock falling attack he caused with his ninjutsu had disrupted the enemy's position, Kakashi immediately pulled out the white fang short knife behind his back and began to input the thunder attribute chakra into the blade, so that a layer of light blue shimmer was attached to the surface of the blade, and there was a lightning bolt as thin as a hair, which wrapped around the shimmer.

Kakashi's eyes were also reflected in the blue of lightning, and the strength that did not match his young body gave the enemy a heavy sense of oppression.

"That knife is—"

The enemy seemed to recognize the legendary dagger that was so loud that they had to recognize the origin of the knife.

However, as soon as he finished saying this, his chest had been sliced open by the blade, and with a bewitching bright red, the battle had begun.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

What spat out of his mouth was a fireball with a diameter of one meter, which was already the strongest ninjutsu that Obito had released with all his might.

I thought I could destroy the enemy, but the enemy directly dodged the fireball with an instantaneous technique, and then he was able to approach Obito at a very fast speed, smiling at him, ready to end his life with kunai.

The blade with a thin electric current pierced through the air, stabbing through the side of the enemy's neck and then the other side.

The enemy's body simply fell, and Kakashi glared at Obito with the dead fish eyes hanging upside down, silently, as if mocking his weakness.

After taking out this enemy, Kakashi did not stop, but went to find the remaining enemies to attack, and annihilate the enemy here as soon as possible.

Obito was unwilling to watch Kakashi shine in battle, which was a powerful strength that he could not achieve now, no matter how hard he tried.

Why is there such a huge gap in strength among peers?

Obito had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to fight.

When I went back, I decided to train myself harder.

Expectations for A-level missions are also reduced.

Reality made him understand that the enemies faced by the A-class mission could easily take his life.

The battle lasted three minutes and twenty-one seconds, and 17 enemies were annihilated, including one upper ninja and eleven middle ninja.

There may also be a reason why Watergate wants to exercise the Kakashi trio, so it took a little more time.

However, this is just a one-man show for Kakashi, who single-handedly took out all the enemies of the lower shinobi, as well as six middle shinobi, and after the battle, he still retains enough physical strength to be ready to deal with the next sudden battle.

He also has a lot of combat experience, killing the enemy with the least amount of strength, physical strength and chakra planning, even if it is some upper ninja, it may not be as good as him.

This made Mizuto understand more and more why the three generations of Hokage would attach so much importance to Kakashi.

His talent in ninjas, using the word genius as a metaphor, seems to belittle his talent.

In particular, Kakashi will use his spare time to continue to cultivate and strengthen his strength without wasting a drop of time.

It was only a matter of time before he surpassed his father, Konoha White Fang.

"Kakashi, what was that ninjutsu you just used?"

Watergate asked about his top concern.

At the beginning of the battle, he was indeed surprised to see the materialized lightning converging on Kakashi's palm, making a bird-like chirp.

With the eyesight of the water gate, it can naturally be seen that it is an extremely advanced thunder ninjutsu.

"It's my self-created Thunder Escape Technique, the name is Chidori, but the technique hasn't been perfected yet, otherwise, the power can be increased a lot."

Kakashi didn't hide it, and generously said the name and origin of that ninjutsu.

Rin looked at Kakashi with adoring eyes.

But because of this kind of gaze, it makes Obito more delicious.

"In this way, if my estimate is correct, the technique that has been perfected should be an A-rank high-strength ninjutsu."

Watergate showed admiration.

When it comes to ninjutsu, he finds that there is no need to say anything to Kakashi.

Kakashi is a ninja who has almost stepped out of his own path, and if he interferes too much, it will limit his growth and creativity.

I only need to answer his doubts at the right time, and I can't interfere too much with his thoughts.

But...... With Kakashi's understanding, it seems that there is not much need for him to answer his doubts.

Watergate was secretly depressed, it was really not easy to teach geniuses.

As for Kakashi's self-created ninjutsu, Mizumon takes it for granted, Kakashi's talent is here, no matter what kind of amazing moves he makes, it is just a reasonable necessity.

"Isn't it just A-grade ninjutsu, I'll create it in the future! Wait and see, Kakashi! ”

Obito said unconvinced.

Watergate smiled and touched Obito's head, which was regarded as encouraging him.

"Then you have to wait until you quit the temptation of those stumbling grandmothers, and then you can have enough time to cultivate. In short, you have to keep it up. ”

Kakashi grabbed Obito's sore foot and held on.

Lynn snickered.

Watergate couldn't help but laugh.

"Lin, Mr. Watergate, why are you laughing too? Isn't it strange to help an old grandmother? ”

Only Obito was there alone, jumping to his feet in anger.

"No, you just have to be yourself. Compared to ninjutsu, having the quality of love is a truly rare and valuable spirit. And Obito, you have this kind of love that is more precious than ninjutsu. ”

Mizumon stopped smiling, and in Obito, he saw these precious excellent qualities.

No matter when, as long as he keeps this love, he believes that Obito will become a great man in his own right in the future.

Lin also nodded, expressing encouragement to Obito.

Kakashi looked at Obito with dead fish eyes, not knowing what he was meant.

After all, the temptation of the grandmother to Obito is infinite.

Kakashi then casually turned his gaze to a certain location, and although it was a little far away, Kakashi knew that his side was being watched silently.

A few more guys on the spot. Exposing a part of your strength, hiding a part of your strength, giving the enemy the illusion that you have the whole picture, and then delivering a fatal blow, is that right? Said secretly in my heart.

He was also a little skeptical that Obito had the ability to be a decoy.

However, protecting the soil is also one of the tasks.

This kind of naïve and fantasical guy is a rare breed in the Uchiha clan.

◎

"Are all the five major powers watching?"

Shiraishi, who got the news, immediately frowned.

The creature named Bai Jue turned out to be not only monitoring Konoha, but also Yunyin, Mistyin, Shayin, and Iwayin, all four villages were watching.

I didn't find it before, just because Shiraishi didn't notice that the surveillance of this mysterious force would be so huge.

But it is not certain that this is the main purpose of those people.

It may also be because he exposed his traces before, so he deliberately made a trick to divert his attention and distract the power on his side.

But on the other hand, Shiraishi is also suspicious that this incident is real.

Spying on the five great powers is what this mysterious force has been doing all along.

Bai Jue comes from the Divine Tree, which is in turn ten tails, and the ten tails are a collection of nine tailed beasts.

At present, except for the seven tailed beasts assigned to the Takikushi Ninja Village in the country of Taki, the remaining eight tailed beasts are in the hands of the ninja villages of the five major countries.

Konoha's Nine-Tails.

The two tails and eight tails of Yun Yin.

The four tails and five tails of Iwakure.

The three tails and six tails of the fog.

A tail of the sand hide.

If the purpose of their monitoring of the Five Great Ninja Villages is to recollect the Tailed Beasts and resurrect the Ten Tails of the Divine Tree, then there will be an excuse to spy on the Five Great Powers.

But this mysterious force must be in short supply of combat power, otherwise it will not be surveillance, but directly plundering the tailed beasts of the major ninja villages.

Therefore, the overall combat effectiveness of this mysterious force cannot compete head-on with the ninja villages of the five major powers.

That's good news.

As long as it doesn't collide with the five great-level ninja villages, Shiraishi still has the confidence to win.

Although the combat power on his side is also insufficient, it is only the lack of middle-level and low-level personnel, and in terms of top-level combat effectiveness, Baishi feels that he still has a certain foundation on his side.

At least capturing the ninja village of a small country is not something that cannot be done.

The question is how to force this mysterious force out of the shadows, cut them down with thunderous speed, and never suffer from them.

If the other party keeps shrinking his head like this, Shiraishi can't keep distracting his energy like this.

It's better to find an appropriate time to get rid of the enemy in the shadows.

"Uchiha Obito ......"

Shiraishi murmured the name.

Recalling Obito's stupid innocent face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

That guy, I guess I'm entangled with my grandmother every day in Konoha.

This funny kid.

"Strong love is transformed into negative emotions, which is the core factor that stimulates the rapid growth of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, and then the ninjas of the Uchiha clan will also undergo a certain degree of distortion, fall into darkness, and treat ......the world from an extremely pessimistic and extreme perspective of thinking."

Shiraishi looked thoughtful.

"The person who made the plan for this kid Obito must be someone who knows the Uchiha very well, and it is even likely to be a ninja of the Uchiha clan."

But Ruri said that before this, there was a clear record of leaving Konoha alone, and only Madara Uchiha was back then.

Moreover, Madara Uchiha has already confirmed his death, and he was defeated and died between the Valley of the End and the original Hokage Senju Pillar, which is a fact recognized by the ninja world, and it is extremely credible.

If so, who else would it be?

After all, there is a high probability that someone who understands the changes in the writing wheel eye is a ninja of the Uchiha clan.

"Then again, what are you going to do with the writing wheel eye with soil?"

It's better to go directly to the Uchiha clan's upper ninja to sneak attack and dig up those Uchiha upper ninja's three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes.

After the soil writing wheel eye grows up, if it is just a three-hook jade writing wheel eye, it is a waste of time to do so.

So, is it to let Obito open the kaleidoscope writing wheel?

“……”

Regarding how to open the kaleidoscope writing wheel, Shiraishi doesn't know much about it.

The methods are also varied.

Witnessing a loved one die in front of your eyes is also a powerful hypothesis for the unknown to open your eyes.

If there is the most important person to Obito, Shiraishi can only think of one person in his mind - Nohara Rin.

"In short, the current intelligence is insufficient, let's go and lure the snake out of the hole first, and try to find out the hole cards of these people as much as possible."

Before, he asked General Tu and the Water Dragon God to test it, and after such a long time, the enemy probably already knew that he was behind the scenes.

Konoha must have some of his own records, as well as information about the doppelgangers such as General Tu, and the people behind the mysterious forces are very strong in monitoring Konoha and are likely to know something now.

"Speaking of which, Liuli has always said that she has itchy hands lately, and she wants to find someone to test her strength, so it's not bad to find her some work."
