In the early morning, in the center of a simple and somewhat simple Japanese tatami room, as if it was the wake-up time engraved on the biological clock, Kakashi opened his eyes on time, got up to fold the quilt, and went to wash.

Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Kakashi stared at himself in the mirror quietly.

In the mirror, it seems that he is still the same teenager as before, and there is no change in the slightest.

In front of him stood a cute girl with purple facial lines, behind him was a handsome man with blond hair, and on his side stood a young man in goggles who was hostile to him.

Kakashi touched the crescent scar on his left eye, and the scene of the boy in the goggles before his death echoed through his mind again.

"Obito..."

Putting the mask on his face, Kakashi gathered up his thoughts and became a dark ninja again.

After eating a breakfast of quick food in the kitchen, Kakashi went to the living room in front of the kamiji and bowed three times to the picture of the pale-haired man.

"I'm leaving."

Sticking the short knife that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Hachiki family to the scabbard behind his back, Kakashi walked out of the house.

Kakashi's home was very large, bigger than most of the people in Konoha Village, but it was some distance from the center of Konoha Village.

It's unlikely that there will be a mission early in the morning, so Kakashi won't be in a hurry to report to the shadows, just walk over slowly.

Walking down the street, Kakashi saw from afar that the dust raised by the street was rushing in his direction.

Kakashi subconsciously jumped to the roof of the house and hid, only to see a green watermelon-headed man running at full speed in the dust below.

"O my youth! Burn it! Roar! My youth! ”

"Who? Screaming every morning wakes up my children! ”

"Don't let people sleep!"

Residents on both sides of the street raised their voices in protest, but the green man in the dust ignored it all and ran out of Kakashi's line of sight with the flying dust.

Kakashi shook his head helplessly, "Kai, this guy will sooner or later be complained to Hokage-sama by the villagers for the crime of disturbing the people. ”

...

In the dark locker room, Kakashi had just changed into the dark department's combat uniform, and the dark army member pushed the door in and said, "Captain Kakashi, Hokage-sama has informed you to go to the meeting room of the Hokage Building immediately and wear ordinary ninja clothes." ”

"Huh?"

"I see."

Kakashi was a little puzzled by this order at first.

If you want to release a task directly under the Shadow Division, it should be in the Hokage Room or the Council Hall, but this time you have to release the task in the meeting room.

The meeting room is usually a place to entertain mission clients outside the village and issue tasks to ordinary ninjas, so why did you summon yourself, a dark ninja, to go this time, and change into ordinary ninja costumes.

Although he was skeptical, Kakashi decided to carry out the order, change out of the dark combat uniform on his body, and put on his usual outfit in the village and the ninja village forehead guard.

...

Pushing the door and entering the living room, in the center sat the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, and next to the client sat a middle-aged man with a full beard and black round-framed glasses.

"Kakashi is here."

"Let me introduce you, this is the third person of Asama, the client of this mission, and this is the best shinobi in the village, Kakashi Hachiki."

Nakashinobi?

Kakashi was a little confused about the introduction of the Sarutobi Sun Slash, he had already been promoted to the upper ninja as early as the third ninja war, and the three generations of Hokage should not remember it.

However, the third generation Hokage should not be to the point of being old and confused, and this introduction must have his own intentions.

Kakashi bowed slightly to the client's seat, bowing slightly.

"Mr. Santa Asama, please tell Kakashi a little more about the whole thing."

"Okay." Asama turned his head to Kakashi and narrated the incident.

"I'm from a place called Snow Country in the Far North, which is covered in ice and snow all year round, so it's hard for crops to grow on the land, but technology and heavy industry are very advanced, and few outsiders have ever been there, and very few people even know about that place, so I guess Kakashi hasn't been there either."

Kakashi nodded slightly, not only had he never been there, but he hadn't even heard of it.

"The king of the Snow Country is His Royal Highness Fenghua Sayuki, and I am a retainer of His Highness Hayuki."

"His Highness Hayuki has an idea, which is to use the unique technology of our Snow Country to activate the geothermal energy contained in the ground, and turn all the cold winds blowing from the north into hot winds, so that there will be a chance to disperse the ice and snow deposited in the Snow Country for many years."

"In order to realise this idea, we formed an exploration team and looked north for suitable sites for the installation of geothermal generators."

"The expedition team was led by my younger brother Shitai Asama, who is a well-known polar explorer and has a lot of experience in polar exploration."

"A week ago, the Fourth Lady set out from the long-term camp in the northernmost part of the Snow Country to explore the forbidden areas that no one had ever reached."

"Their sixteen-member exploration team encountered a snowstorm within two days of their departure, but under the command of the fourth wife, they found a place to shelter from the snowstorm."

"In that place, they found a cave." Speaking of this, Asama's tone raised slightly.

"In the caves, they found countless bones of ancient animals, fossils, and biological samples of ultra-ancient creatures."

"Ultra-ancient creatures?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes, ultra-ancient creatures." Asama nodded affirmatively.

"Although I haven't seen what the fourth wife found with my own eyes, judging from his tone, it should be some very remarkable discoveries that are enough to shock the world."

"But something happened, and just as I was talking to him on the radio, screams came from his radio."

"The fourth lady immediately went out to check, and during this time, I seemed to hear that the exploration team in the camp seemed to have encountered some kind of enemy, and the screams were incessant."

"It didn't take long for the commotion to stop, but on the radio, I seemed to hear the frightened whispers of the fourth wife, as if to say..."

"The Ancient."

Speaking of which, Asama paused, as if to leave a time for everyone to think.

"After that, I didn't hear anything on the radio."

"Originally, we wanted to go to the rescue immediately, but it has been snowing for a week, and the rescue team is not going to go directly to find the exploration team."

"And given the screams coming over the radio, we suspect that the expedition team is in some unknown danger, perhaps an avalanche or some unknown attack."

"But in that snow country is off-limits, we can't think of anyone who can attack the exploration team."

"That's why I'm here this time to entrust the ninjas of Konoha to join our rescue team and go to rescue the exploration team."

"Please!"

With that, Asama got up from his seat and bowed solemnly to Kakashi.
