Konoha 52 years ago.

The ninjas of the Shadow Side, who had just spent the New Year of Peace, had no time to enjoy the beautiful afterglow of the New Year, and due to the defection of an unexpected character, they had to leave the bed on a mission in the big night.

From the moment the order was given by the three generations, the shadows of Konoha poured out, and countless idle shinobi were also dispatched, doing their best to capture one of the 'three ninjas' who defected from the village due to the revelation of human experiments, Orochimaru.

Kakashi Hachiki, as the squad leader, sets off with his only squad member, Yuzuru Hinata.

Orochimaru was mortally wounded in a battle with Miyo before escaping, and his tracks were obvious, and it was clear that this was the best time to hunt down Orochimaru.

It's different from Kakashi, a hatagi who is in a hurry and wants to break one minute into two minutes.

Hinata Yuzuru was slow, looking relaxed, as if he was on an outing.

"Sky Fox, speed up, we must get ahead of Orochimaru and get to the stronghold where he may transfer and retreat for an ambush."

Kakashi had a clear goal, first summoning a ninja dog to catch the taste, and then constantly reminding Hinata Yuzuru to speed up.

But Hinata Yuzuru just said lightly: "Do you think the two of us will be Orochimaru's opponents?" ”

Kakashi was silent for a moment, in fact, when Orochimaru was caught red-handed by the three generations, he was guarding the door of the house, and he was almost killed by the big snake pill who ran away in a hurry, if it weren't for the explosion charm of the third generation, maybe there was still a heavenly curse mark on his neck now, or, he was bitten off his head in one bite.

However, he still said coldly: "Orochimaru is seriously injured, our mission is only to trap him, and I will take the opportunity to let the psychic beast notify the other companions." ”

"Do you think we can trap him?" Hinata Yuzuru asked again.

Kakashi simply stopped: "If you feel that something is impossible to do and want to give up the mission, you can turn around and go back now, and I will report it truthfully to the three generations..... You're a ninja of the shadows! ”

"I just want to know, is it true that the three generations don't have the ability to kill or keep Orochimaru at that time?"

Hinata Yuzuru also had cold eyes.

He took off his mask, and underneath the mask was the first time Kakashi had ever seen him, without glasses.

The piercing eyes were devoid of the previous mildness and incoherent banter, but only a hint of anger, mockery, and indifference.

"Didn't the three generations think about how many ordinary ninjas would die when facing an existence like Orochimaru?"

"Didn't he think about how many innocent people would die because of Orochimaru along the way?"

"It's just because of the so-called master-apprentice relationship, I can't do anything to Orochimaru because of compassion, but I turn my head and hand it over to my subordinates to handle it....."

"Arrest? No kidding. ”

"Kakashi, if you really want to carry out this mission...... Promise me one thing. ”

Kakashi Hachiki was dumbfounded by his barrage of words, and he couldn't explain what Miyo had done.

Hinata Yuzuru looked at him coldly: "If you have to capture Orochimaru..... I'm sorry, but I'm probably going to desperately stop you from making an irrational choice at any time and find a way to take you with me. ”

"I'm not going to risk my life to make up for someone else's ridiculous mistakes. Rather than desperately trying with Orochimaru to make your death worthless, I would rather desperately try to stop you...... When I feel like I can't do anything, the mission has to be terminated. ”

Hinata Yuzuru seems to be very resolute.

The words were unexpectedly poking Kakashi in the heart, he may feel that his life doesn't matter at this moment, but he never wants to see his companion die in front of his eyes again.

However, when Kakashi was silent and didn't know how to react, he put his mask back on.

"Of course, if you say that you will report to the three generations, I will cooperate with you if I haven't said anything."

His words were so light that he sounded as if he had returned to his old incopience.

But Kakashi already knew his determination - he really wanted to give it his all in this mission...... Paddled.

After a moment of silence, Kakashi said, "If it can't be done, I'll make retreat my first priority, but, until then, ninja, you must take the completion of the mission as the first goal." If the third generation asks about the reason for the failure, I will also express your attitude truthfully. ”

"Don't worry, you don't think that the three generations really expect the two of us, or this group of shadows, to catch Orochimaru back, right?"

Hinata chuckled lightly, and from Kakashi's attitude, he knew that he would never tell the truth about his words to the three generations.

What does it mean to just express his attitude truthfully?

I just don't think I can stop Orochimaru, is there a problem? You can't stop it, how can you expect us to be less than half your age combined?

Even if the third generation listened, he could only say that he judged very calmly and decisively, didn't he?

Kakashi led the way in silence, and there were ninja dogs catching clues along the way, and then Hinata Yuzuru confirmed with his white eyes that the speed of the search was very efficient.

Two days and two nights.

Kakashi finally has the help of Shinobi Inu and Hinata Yuzuru.

An anomaly was found.

On the way to Konoha outside the borders.

In the hollow of a huge tree.

Hinata Yuzuru captured the chakra trajectories of dozens of people.

Kakashi and Hinata Yuzuru glanced at each other, and he walked inside without hesitation, while Hinata Yuzuru reached out and slapped him on the back.

There was no conversation, just Hinata Yuzuru staring at him confirmatively, and Kakashi hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Trust your peers...... It's also a qualified ninja.,What should be the quality.。

Kakashi thought.

Hinata Yuzuru let him walk behind him, and he walked in front of him, slowly stepping into this deep, large, cavernous tree hole.

In my mind, I began to quickly recall the plot of the original book.

Will Orochimaru be here?

Yes.

But when?

I don't remember exactly.

What's at stake? It's probably a group of poor people who have been brainwashed by Orochimaru.,Possessing a strange ability to turn the body into smoke.,It's quite difficult.。

Other than that, I can't remember the details, oh, the names of the group.... It seems to be called the Ibouli tribe.

"Do you know how to escape the ninjutsu?"

"Yes, but Wind Escape is my weakest ninjutsu right now." Kakashi said truthfully.

Even though he will be called the copy ninja Kakashi in the future, the ninjutsu he has mastered now is not as comprehensive as it will be in the future.

Kakashi, who failed to comprehend the happy way of fighting with his own technique, was still quite focused on more efficient combat than rejuvenation.

Chakra also didn't support him to play too much fancy work, and carving a dog's head on the earth flow wall was the limit of his whole life.

Hinata narrowed her eyes.

Coincidentally, I won't get away with it.
