Chapter 41 Will of Fire and White Fang
Now the cold and uncomfortable feeling after holding the knife is really a bit discouraging.
Sure enough, I’m not a fool with courage, and someone who is a little shaken after hearing a story isn’t a genius either.
The will of fire... The will of fire... That kind of thing does not require ordinary ninjas to explore.
Then the young man put down the dagger, and confusion once again covered his mind.
What kind of person is Konoha White Fang in the eyes of others?
Why can you be indestructible when you hold this knife?
The next day he bought a small gift to visit other party had visited several times before when he was trapped in his own world.
Now, as a disciple, I have to go and see each other both emotionally and rationally.
But when Kakashi passed the entrance of the alley, he became more alert because there were too many people around.
"Kakashi, you actually came out to see me?!"
Jiu Xinnai opened the door and said that he couldn't fix people, and made the young man a little at a loss and ashamed, he was really bad.
"Minato said last night that you felt much better after going on a mission. It seems that you have really recovered. That lifeless look is really embarrassing."
"Would you like me to teach you a few sealing techniques to change your mood? The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques are very powerful."
Kakashi wasn't able to finish his sentence when Kushina pulled him into the living room and he kept on talking non-stop.
Suddenly, Blood Red Pepper changed the subject.
"By the way, is it fun to go out?"
Thinking of the banditry in the Land of Fire and those ordinary people with pale faces and skinny bodies, Kakashi didn't know how to answer. For some reason, when he followed Adam in the ninja world, he could always see the appearance of the lower class people.
"Konoha is still the best..."
This is a multi-faceted answer.
"Okay, okay, you never talk about how fun it is outside. It's always dangerous and boring."
Seeing the Master's wife answering her own questions in a somewhat boring way, Kakashi scratched his hair. He was not good at dealing with people like Kushina since he was a child, because she was too enthusiastic.
Maybe the Hatake family is naturally more suitable to get along with people who have a sense of boundaries, and Minato-sensei handles this very comfortably.
"Master's wife, there are a lot of Anbu around here."
When he arrived, he felt that there were many ninjas monitoring this place, which was not normal.
Now the teacher is the Fourth Hokage, and the Anbu should not appear here without the teacher's orders.
He remembered that Kushina hated being watched, because her super perception ability allowed her to easily detect the presence of these people.
"Haha, there's a reason for that."
Seeing the dead fish eyes of the white-haired disciple, Kushina suddenly had the idea of asking the other party to guess. This little guy was the least cute among the disciples.
"Guess..."
"Because you're pregnant?"
……
"Damn it! You won't even give me this pleasure!!!"
The red hair moved without wind, the red chakra wrapped around the body, and the obvious beast aura made a few drops of cold sweat flow on Kakashi's forehead.
"I'm just kidding. This is the way of scaring people that Sister Tsunade taught me. Isn't it very cool?"
...It's a bit scary. This master's wife is really eccentric.
As for the speculation about pregnancy, it is also normal. Although Kakashi did not hear this rumor from the outside world after his return, there must be a reason why the Anbu could monitor the wife of a Hokage so much.
Jinchūriki... This is indeed a difficult matter. Even the teacher and his wife would probably feel under pressure.
"It's so boring. I can't leave the village, and I can't go to the Hokage Building to play with Minato. It's really boring."
Because the pregnancy is still quite dangerous, and because of the Nine-Tailed Fox, they can only carefully check for danger.
People like the Uchiha family are definitely not allowed to get close. Only those who are truly trusted by the Konoha high-level officials can contact Kushina during this period of time.
Even if she said that her ninja physique and the restraint of sealing techniques were useless, the other elders except the Sandaime still regarded Kushina as Konoha's strategic weapon first, and the Hokage's wife second.
It would be difficult for her to move freely until she became as strong as Uzumaki Mito-sama. Or if Namikaze Minato showed the realm of the God of Ninja Realm like the first generation, she would no longer be controlled by anyone.
But neither of them managed to do it, so they were trapped in this area.
It is indeed cruel to have this kind of naturally lively personality being trapped in anxiety, and the hormones during pregnancy make women's moods very changeable.
Kakashi also felt the complex emotions involved, and his empathy ability had improved a lot since he listened to the story Adam told him.
It is indeed a very cruel thing to lock a person in a village for his whole life. Although the master's wife has a playful personality, she has also sacrificed a lot.
The rest of the afternoon was spent listening to Kushina's complaints, from Sarutobi Biwako-sama's nagging about matters needing attention to the fact that her best friend Uchiha Mikoto was also pregnant.
Basically, he said a lot of irrelevant things when he was muttering. Kakashi was the direct disciple of the Fourth Hokage and there was no need to hide these things from him.
The boy just became a silent listener. In the past, he might have found an excuse to practice cultivation and left.
Of course, staying here is also a kind of practice.
Finally, Minato stopped his mumbling until he got off work. Seeing Kakashi listening quietly, Minato was a little moved.
This disciple has finally done some human work recently. How come the changes after going out on a mission are so immediate?
"Kakashi, let's have dinner together before we go."
"……Yes."
Although Kushina's cooking was unpalatable, she still made it, and the three of them enjoyed it at the dining table.
While eating, the Hokage's wife suddenly sighed. She had invited her disciples to have dinner before, but at that time there were only three disciples.
The lively Obito always brings her a lot of joy, while the innocent Rin takes good care of her. Only the little white-haired Kakashi is always cold.
Now there is only one young man left to inherit the will of his two companions. This ninja world is too cruel.
Thinking about the little life in my belly being born and facing the world, I don’t know what they will encounter.
Will someone bully him? Will there be a Fourth Ninja World War? Will we be unable to protect him?
Her mood suddenly dropped. It was rare to see Kushina become so sentimental, which made Minato a little out of control.
In order to say something to interrupt this emotion, Kakashi asked suddenly.
"Teacher, Madam, I would like to ask you what you think of my father."
Kakashi had only heard of White Fang's reputation before, but no one had ever told him in detail what kind of image his father had in the outside world.
It was this special question that immediately brought back the emotions. After all, a son was asking about his dead father...
Kushina thought about it seriously.
Chapter 42 Danzo and Obito in Action
"Hmm~~ Sakumo-senpai is a very strict and kind person."
"A very strict good man?"
"Well, I am still more afraid of this kind of person. He always looks very calm and nothing seems to be able to affect him."
"He's a good guy because he killed a lot of Thunder Ninjas. Those mountain barbarians are very annoying."
Minato also relieved himself of his responsibilities as Hokage at this time and spoke in a very homely manner.
"Sakumo-senpai is a very reliable comrade in battle, and he is even more majestic when he strikes seriously, as if no one can stop that short sword."
"I was lucky enough to see it once. Looking back now, it is really a thrilling knife light. I am not an opponent within three meters."
This is Minato Namikaze's impression of his predecessor. He has always regretted the death of White Fang.
After taking the position of Hokage, he also realized the abnormality of those things that happened back then. However, if he took it seriously, there would be a risk of shaking Konoha, so he could only remain silent on the matter.
After that, Kakashi chatted about Hatake Sakumo for a while before leaving.
Looking at their disciple's back, the Hokage and his wife showed a relaxed expression.
"Kakashi has matured a lot."
"Well, you have begun to face your father squarely. This is progress."
Little did he know that the two people's words made the boy once again deepen his impression of his father. He was indeed always calm and composed.
"The hand holding the knife should never tremble because of external things. Even when the sky falls and the earth collapses, you must move forward courageously."
How could it be possible that just rumors from passers-by...
Kakashi returned home and sat quietly for a night.
He was not thinking about the issue of the Will of Fire at this moment, but was unwilling to accept it.
I can't tell what's wrong specifically, but I just want to know the truth.
the next day.
"Teacher, I have thought it over. I want to join the Anbu."
No matter what, strength is the most important.
Becoming an Anbu member would allow you to grow faster. Even if there were any secrets about your father, you wouldn't be able to understand them by yourself.
Noah had to lie dormant in the East China Sea to practice and achieve something before he could go to the center of the world and dance on swords. At the moment, he was still too weak.
Moreover, becoming an Anbu also gives you some privileges and the opportunity to access some past information. Gathering intelligence is particularly important for Kakashi.
Minato did not refuse this request. At this age, Kakashi could go in and practice well for a while.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. As long as I am still alive in the dark, I can dispel some people's dirty thoughts.
After all, I had some unpleasantness with some people recently when I was taking back some of my rights.
I believe that when Kakashi unsheathes his sword again, he will surely amaze the world.
"Approved. Report to ANBU tomorrow."
"Yes."
"Also, check on Kushina more often when you have time. She's boring."
"……Yes."
Kakashi reluctantly agreed. He had to admit that for an extremely powerful, high-ranking, and bad-tempered woman... it would be a kind of training for most people just to get close to her.
Kakashi was walking along a strange path here, while Orochimaru was in trouble on the other side.
The new Hokage stopped a lot of his research, and the projects he is currently working on are all extremely routine research topics.
Jiraiya had come over to mock him with a gloating look on his face, telling him to go out more and get some sun.
This idiot toad stayed in the village for a few more days because of Noah's book. Before leaving, he asked me if I wanted to go with him to see the beautiful scenery of the ninja world.
In the end, he was sprayed away by Orochimaru's venom.
You must be kidding. I am so busy right now. Noah is demanding the teaching materials even more, and the reward I have is still in the laboratory of the Rain Country waiting for his favor.
The sealed book at the root is also waiting for his study, and he can't be distracted at all.
If he really couldn't learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would have wanted to run away.
He stayed at home and kept busy with the work at hand. According to Noah, he would be able to leave Konoha and go to the Land of Rain for research in a year.
He didn't quite understand why it would be dangerous if he didn't leave, but he was still willing to spend the time.
Oh, this spiritualization technique is quite interesting, I'd like to study it.
The Fourth Hokage also shut down the Root experiments, so Danzo had no choice but to take the risk and move away.
This matter was carried out secretly and very slowly because... there was no money.
Well, I don't know who did it, which caused a lot of materials and equipment in the root to be lost, and even the silver in the secret base was stolen.
If the lost resources were reported truthfully, they would definitely be beaten with 10086 big balls, or stabbed a hundred or eighty times by their old friends with the ape demon.
I can’t tell anyone that I lost something, and the feeling of suffocating is really disgusting.
