The early morning sun poured through the window and shone on Sasuke's depressed face.

Ever since the night the Nine-Tails went on a rampage, he had stayed in this lounge in the Dark Building, not even stepping a step through the door.

At this time, Kakashi walked in with a plate of breakfast, "Sasuke, come and have breakfast." ”

Sasuke looked at Kakashi indifferently, "How long are you going to keep me here?" ”

"We're protecting you."

Kakashi patiently explained.

"Protection?" After a pause, Sasuke snorted lightly, "I don't need your protection!" ”

Kakashi handed the breakfast to Sasuke and said in a serious tone, "Sasuke, your talent is high, but because of this, it will cause you a lot of unexpected troubles. ”

Sasuke closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his inky eyes were already scarlet, and the two magatama slowly rotated: "Do you think I'll be afraid of trouble?" ”

Kakashi was a little helpless.

But he also understands, because Sasuke does have arrogant capital.

Anyone who awakens the double hook jade writing wheel eye at the age of seven and can easily subdue the nine tails in the rampage has the qualifications to be arrogant.

Seeing that Kakashi couldn't make the decision, Sasuke ate breakfast by himself.

Halfway through eating, he pretended to be casual and asked, "By the way, how is that guy?" ”

"It's out of danger."

The corners of Kakashi's mouth furled.

He knew that Sasuke was asking Naruto, and he could feel Sasuke's concern for Naruto, even though Sasuke tried his best to hide it.

After a while, Sasuke asked suspiciously, "Why is there such a monster in that guy's body?" Is he really the son of a fox demon? ”

Kakashi hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "Naruto is the human pillar force of our Konoha Village!" ”

Then, he briefly explained to Sasuke what the human pillar force was.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't have talked so much.

However, Sasuke's Sharingan has the ability to subdue the Nine-Tails, and may become the best candidate for the village to deal with the Nine-Tails in the future, so the third generation has already hinted at him, asking him to reveal some information about Naruto to Sasuke at the right time.

"Hmph, can such a guy be the secret weapon of the village? I think it's better for you to change one! ”

Sasuke looked disdainful.

Kakashi shook his head, "If the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body are transferred now, Naruto will die, because for the human pillar force, losing the Tailed Beast is equivalent to death!" ”

Sasuke was silent for a while, and a sentence came out of his mouth: "Pathetic fellow." ”

Kakashi smiled, "Sasuke, I remember you were classmates, I hope you can take care of him in the future." ”

Sasuke instinctively wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered something: "I don't have that kind of idle work!" Let me out, I'm going to kill that man!" ”

"Itachi?"

As soon as he heard the name, Sasuke's expression became hideous, and he gasped: "I'm going to kill him with my own hands!" ”

Kakashi persuaded, "You can't kill him right now." ”

Sasuke glared at Kakashi, "I've awakened the Sharingan!" ”

Unmoved, Kakashi shook his head and said, "Itachi is not enough, Itachi is the most powerful Uchiha I have ever seen, your talent is definitely above him, but now you are not his opponent!" ”

Sasuke was about to argue.

Swish...

A shadow suddenly appeared at the door of the room: "Hokage-sama summons!" ”

Kakashi's expression grimaced, "What's going on?" ”

"The Kikyo Mountain stronghold was attacked last night, and all the five squads stationed there were killed!"

......

In the driving range.

Shinji, as usual, came here early to practice the 'breathing method'.

He found that as his body gradually adapted to the 'breathing method', his strength, speed, reactions, and even the efficiency of refining chakra had improved significantly.

Through the memory fragments in his mind, compared to the ascension speed of the dozen or so swordsmen who cultivated the 'Breath of Water', his improvement was even more obvious.

Because of this, he gradually fell in love with the practice of the 'breathing method'.

This visible increase in strength is really addictive.

"A person of my status interfered with the ninja world, so what would be his purpose?"

While practicing the 'breathing method', he was still analyzing the events of last night.

His duty is to protect the ninja world, and the mysterious voice calls him the 'Lantern-Bearer', so it can be surmised that the 'Lantern-Bearer' is the name of someone like him who guards a certain world.

The unknown lantern bearer who disturbed the ninja world last night is likely to be the guardian of the other worlds.

Since that's the case, then Shinji and the other party shouldn't have any conflict of interest, everyone can keep their own and do their part.

But the other party's behavior last night, no matter how you interpret it, is obviously hostile.

"Will re-seek the enemy at night, hoping to find the intruder this time!"

Shinji looked solemn.

After understanding that behind this invasion, there may be a mysterious lantern bearer like himself, most likely responsible for guarding a world.

He realized that the situation was very serious.

And the more the other party wants to avoid him, the more he doesn't want the other party to succeed.

Because the other party interfered, a message has actually been transmitted, that is, the other party needs time, it may be to make some preparations, it may be to collect intelligence.

In short, the other party doesn't want to clash with him head-on as soon as he invades.

"This time I was interfered with by him, but I couldn't do anything, it should be that I don't have enough authority..."

Shinji only found out yesterday that the mysterious voice was not incommunicable, and the reason why the other party didn't care about him before was mostly because of the word 'ready' in the person who prepared the lantern.

In other words, he's not really a lantern bearer in the ninja world.

......

Hokage's office.

The three generations of Hokage looked at the four shadows lined up in front of him, led by Kakashi, and said, "The Kikyo Mountain outpost was attacked, and all the garrison personnel were killed. ”

Kakashi asked, "Hokage-sama, who is the attacker?" ”

The third generation shook his head.

Mito Menyan on the side said: "The communication eagle released at the last outpost only mentions being attacked by a mysterious person, and does not mention the identity of the other party. ”

Kakashi's heart sank: "Will it be war?" ”

Attacking the Konoha outpost is not something that ordinary forces dare to do, so as soon as this kind of thing happens, it can't help but be reminiscent of war.

"So the village needs to know what's going on there. ”

"Understood."

Kakashi replied along with the other three shadows.

Mito continued to add: "The support team has set off, remember, your squad is tasked with confirming the identity and purpose of the enemy, assessing the severity of the situation, and the task has the highest priority!" ”

Kakashi looked grimacing.

He read the elder's subtext.

That is, in the event of an emergency, the support team that can abandon the advance departure, and even the companions in the same class, must also ensure that the key information is sent back to the village...
