"Kakashi!"

"Yes."

"I order you to follow Asama Santai to the land of snow to carry out rescue, this mission is a B-level mission, you should quickly make preparations."

Although Sarutobi Hizashi stood up with great momentum and assigned a mission to Kakashi, in the process of assigning the task, he quietly gave Kakashi a look, and only Kakashi, who was a ninja in the shadows, knew what this meant.

"Yes!"

Quietly leaving the meeting room, Kakashi didn't go home to prepare the gear for the trip, but went straight to the Hokage room.

After waiting in the Hokage room for a moment, Sarutobi pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hokage-sama."

"Hmm."

Sarutobi walked over to the chair behind the desk and sat down, then said, "I specifically called you a shinobi just now, because this mission is far from being as simple as you imagined. ”

"Actually, there is a ninja village in the land of snow."

Hearing this, Kakashi's pupils narrowed, since there was a ninja village in his country, why did he hire ninjas from other countries to carry out rescue missions?

Could it be that the ninjas in their country are not strong?

"The ninjas of this ninja village call themselves Snow Ninja, a group of ninjas who use a special blood limit called Ice Escape Ninjutsu."

"Blood Inheritance Limit?"

The term Bloodrelay Limit is no stranger to Kakashi, and the owner of the Bloodrelay Limit can use some supernormal powers, which makes ninjas with Bloodrelay Limits often more powerful than ordinary ninjas in terms of combat ability.

What Kakashi didn't understand was this place, since he was a ninja with the Blood Inheritance Limit, his strength would definitely not be too weak, and it was really an incomprehensible act to come to Konoha Village to entrust the mission.

"Ice escape is a combination of water chakra and wind chakra, and at the same time manipulate these two chakras to synthesize ice, and use these ice to make special abilities to attack."

Sarutobi stood by the window with his pipe in his mouth, explaining Ice Escape to Kakashi.

"You must be wondering why I know so much about Ice Escape."

"Because Bing Dun is not the blood inheritance limit of Xue Ninja, but a kind of blood inheritance limit of Wuyin Village."

"Fog Hidden Village?"

This made Kakashi even more confused, because the Snow Country was the Far North Land, and the Fog Hidden Village was located in the southernmost huge island country, the Water Country, how could these two countries that were so far apart have the same Blood Inheritance Limit.

It is common sense that the blood inheritance limit can only be inherited through bloodline inheritance, is it possible that these two ninjas in the ninja village who are far away are still related by blood?

"Well, that was when I was very young."

"At that time, the five major ninja villages were expanding and developing, and the ninja families with special blood inheritance limits in the surrounding areas were subdued, and the snow clan in the water country was one of the blood inheritance limit families that were subdued by the fog hidden village."

"And the subjugation work of Wuyin Village was not smooth, and some people in the Snow Clan did not obey the leadership of Wuyin Village, and later there was even a rebellion."

"At that time, the Mizukage finally chose a compromise solution, which was to banish the people of the Snow Clan who did not obey the Fog Hidden Village from the Land of Water, but the exiled people were all Snow Clan people with impure blood, and it did not affect the purity of the Snow Clan's family blood inheritance limit."

"Isn't it—" Kakashi suddenly understood what Sarutobi meant.

"That's right, the Snow Clan's blood inheritance limit is Ice Escape, and the so-called Snow Shinobi in the Snow Country should be the rebels who were expelled from the Water Country at that time."

"I just remembered this when I heard the client talk about the situation in their country."

"Although there are snow ninjas in their country, but because the snow ninja has become more and more difficult to control in recent years, and they are very close to the younger brother of the king of the snow country, the client still chose our ninja from Konoha Village."

It's the smell of rebellion...

What a ninja who left his ninja village needed most was his own territory, and with hooking up with the king's younger brother, who also had the qualifications of the king, Kakashi already knew what Sarutobi was worried about.

"So Kakashi, I asked you to carry out this mission as a shinobi in order to let you closely observe the movements of these Yukinobi while carrying out the mission of the client."

"In this case, this mission level is not B-level, but an S-level mission related to state-level secret matters."

"Carrying out a mission in the Snow Country, it is very likely that you will come into contact with those snow ninjas, whether it is your ability as a ninja in all aspects, or the advantages of writing wheels to deal with these chakra combination type blood inheritance limits, you are the best candidate in the village."

"If you say that you are a middle ninja, those snow ninjas should relax their vigilance against you, and at your age, it is perfectly fine to say that you are a middle ninja."

Kakashi nodded, fully understanding Sarutobi's thoughts.

This seems to be an ordinary rescue mission, but due to the complexity of the national background, a B-class mission has become an S-class mission.

But Kakashi didn't understand the point of this hidden mission.

"But Hokage-sama, what should I do if I find out that those Yukinobi are rebelling?"

Sarutobi fumbled the goatee on his chin and said slowly: "This is an internal problem in the Snow Country, we in Konoha Village do not have the power to intervene, nor have we accepted this commission, so there is no need to help quell the rebellion. ”

"So on the premise of ensuring your own safety, you can make a decision."

Kakashi could see that Sarutobi was also a little hesitant to deal with this issue, although he knew that there was such a possibility, but he had no right to ask, so he could only let himself make a decision.

"Alright, Kakashi, you go back and get ready."

"Remember to wear a little more, it's going to be very cold over there."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The shadow flickered, and Kakashi disappeared into the Hokage room.

In fact, Sarutobi did not say all his concerns about this mission.

In addition to the complexity of the national background, in fact, the task itself is also worth considering.

The prophecy of the Great Toad Immortals warns that the ancient rulers are gradually recovering from the world that belonged to them.

The world was once littered with the footprints of these rulers, and human activity once buried them.

However, with the excessive excavation of human civilization, these footprints have gradually appeared in front of the world.

Last time, it was a statue of Cthulhu with mysterious powers, but this time it is likely to be an ultra-ancient creature found in the far far north and some kind of power that attacks humanity.

If the origin of this incident is also that endless old days, then this mission cannot be summed up by an S rank.

The national affairs are S-rank, and the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal is even S-rank.

This is at least an SS-level mission!

Good luck to Kakashi.

Sarutobi remembered the whispers of the expedition leader in the mission narration of Asama Santaifu.

"The Ancients..."

"What does that mean?"

What Sarutobi didn't know was that in the ninja school next door to the Hokage Building, there was a young student who could solve all his doubts for him.
