Volume 5: Naruto: The Lights Burning the Ninja Continent
Chapter 1 Too similar
Shen Yue Chu Yun and Gang Zitie were still looking at the gate.
Since the unfortunate death of the Yondaime-sama they had been transferred to the main gate of Konoha.
The excuse is to leave the most important checkpoint of Konoha to the person he trusts the most.
At this time, the two had not yet joined the torture squad, nor were they special jonin.
The Chunin class, who are at the bottom of the village's food chain, can only follow orders.
As time passed, the two of them felt more or less lost, as if they were pushed to the edge of Konoha.
Looking at these people coming in and out, they also want to go to the front line to make achievements. Such an important position as the gate can be replaced by a more suitable candidate.
"You said the two of us wouldn't stay here for decades, right?"
"No, sooner or later I will find an opportunity to go to the front lines and kill a few Kumo Ninjas."
"It would be great if I could follow Lord Bloody Thunder. The Hyuga clan is now very proud."
"Then forget it. A big shot like that wouldn't take ordinary ninjas on a mission."
At this time, the duo of door gods had not yet realized what they would be in the later stages, and were naively expecting that a special person would suddenly appear one day to give them hope.
For example...someone who returned today.
"Hey...Yes! Bloody Thunder!"
"It's actually Lord Kakashi!"
The two people's extreme reactions made ordinary people passing by a little confused, and then when they saw the tall ninja, they also changed into shocked expressions.
Silver hair, a unique forehead protector, a low-key black mask, and the one eye exposed is full of oppression.
The one who returned was none other than the Bloody Thunder Hatake Kakashi who had made a name for himself in the ninja world on the front lines!
To everyone, he was just a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, a genius of Konoha.
But now the opponent has become a famous ninja and a hero on the battlefield.
"Kakashi-sama, welcome home."
"Ah."
Kakashi arrived at the door and simply registered. His mission was still in progress and he hadn't found the Anbu chief to cancel it.
The entry and exit records must be noted before they are released. This is the gatekeeper's responsibility.
After he finished writing, he was about to move when he suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Kakashi-sama?"
The silver-haired ninja looked at Shen Yueshu Yun and Gang Zitie seriously.
"If we have the chance to fight side by side on the battlefield, as long as I am alive, I will protect my comrades and keep them alive."
After leaving these words, he walked towards the Hokage Building in a carefree manner.
Hope suddenly ignited in the hearts of Shen Yuechu and Yueyun. They were worthy of being disciples of the Fourth Hokage, and they did not look down on civilian ninjas at all.
It was not until Kakashi entered the village that he truly felt that his status was indeed different.
Everyone passing by had to look at him twice, which was somewhat similar to the treatment given to Minato Namikaze back then.
Kakashi has always been a prominent figure in the village, but this is the first time he has been so popular.
From a child from another family to a well-known genius in Konoha and then to the most outstanding new generation warrior in Konoha, his real achievements and growth process made the people in the village have a special admiration for this Bloody Thunder.
What's more, his cold style since childhood and mysterious appearance have a special lethality to the opposite sex.
This is the advantage of high recognition, which allows you to be recognized instantly.
Now there are still some people who will take the initiative to greet him, including some ninjas who will unconsciously come forward and salute him when they see him.
As a war hero who has been gaining fame among the new generation in the village during this period, it is only natural for him to enjoy such treatment.
Even the Uchiha patrols would avoid Kakashi a little bit when they saw him, not wanting to get close to him. They no longer had the arrogance of wanting to dig out his eyes.
After all, they still considered themselves to be members of the village, and they had some admiration and envy for the village hero.
I walked all the way to the Hokage building, listening to the villagers' exclamations.
The news of Bloody Thunder's return swept through the entire Konoha Village like a storm, and the speed of the rumor was definitely faster than that of Flying Thunder God.
Even the water gate cannot fly randomly and radially to every corner of the village in a short period of time, especially special places like the bathhouse.
"He actually came back... I'm afraid he will make greater progress after coming back alive from the hands of the Fourth Raikage. This is the meaning of a genius's existence."
"In the future, Konoha will most likely be handed over to this young man. If there is a chance, you should ask the senior for advice."
"Also, his graduation record must be broken in order for the Uchiha to maintain their prestige."
Uchiha Fugaku taught Itachi very seriously.
Kakashi, a genius, is very popular in the Uchiha clan. He is also a figure that all adults often use to inspire the next generation.
According to Fugaku's understanding of geniuses, every time they survive a disaster, they will make terrifying progress. Even if he awakens these eyes now, he may not be the opponent's opponent.
No one can suppress the charm of Bloody Thunder anymore, and no one knows when Shisui will be able to return and share some of the responsibilities.
He has only written a few letters since he traveled with Orochimaru in the outside world. It's really worrying.
Other ninja clans also had different reactions after receiving the news. After all, Kakashi is now a strong man who can influence the situation in Konoha.
Who could have thought that the orphan of Hatake Sakumo could stir up such a turmoil? Some village elders who knew Sarutobi Hiruzen better wanted to see the joke of the Third Hokage.
Do you really think they don't know the purpose of suppressing Kakashi in the early stage?
There were also those who were simply happy, for example, those friends from the same period were all getting excited.
Asuma Sarutobi, the leader of Kakashi's four-member team, once again blew the gathering horn and planned to find Kakashi to gain some of his admiring attention.
You have to know that during the time he disappeared, he relied on his old enemy to help him save face. If anyone dared to say something bad about him, Asuma would go to fight with the other party.
Gao Di also made a reputation as Kakashi's powerful younger brother.
Although he is still a long way from his nemesis, Asuma believes that as long as he moves forward step by step, there will always be a chance to stand in front of the opponent.
……
Kakashi, who was still not aware of these things, came to the Hokage Building, met the guard, and then came to the familiar office.
The third generation, who knew the news early on, felt particularly emotional when he saw Kakashi pushing the door open.
How come this child has grown so much in just one year?
That's right, Kakashi has gotten rid of the childish look that still remained on his face and has really grown into a mature ninja who looks very reliable.
His height, physique, expression and the sense of vicissitudes in his eyes are completely different from before.
This made Sarutobi Hiruzen forget what he originally wanted to say.
"so similar……"
It really looks alike.
His aura is becoming more and more like Sensei Tobirama, and his face and physique are slightly similar to Hatake Sakumo.
It was as if Tobirama-sensei and Sakumo were watching him, so why did he feel guilty?
Chapter 2: Fears of the Elderly
A mature demeanor was inevitable, after having survived a life-and-death crisis in the rear of the Thunder and Fire Battlefield, and having fought fiercely with the opponent's strongest, and finally having experienced countless ravages in the Rain Country.
Kakashi's inner journey was very bumpy, and he was forced to grow up to be mature.
The maturity of the body is supported by the abundant life potion.
The transformation of so many life potions was very thorough, and Yang Dun had already occupied a large proportion in his bloodline.
The essence of enhancing chakra is to strengthen the vitality of body cells, and combined with spiritual power, more energy can be extracted.
In addition, the natural energy is also one of the characteristics of physical growth. So before Kakashi left, Noah specifically reminded him not to indulge in his body growth too much.
If he really grows to the same height as Shigeo in the future, it may not be a good thing in combat.
The body of a speed ninja cannot be too bulky, and the emphasis is on the mass of the body rather than the size.
As for the aura that is similar to the Second Hokage's... the life potion that is purely made from the First Hokage's cells will more or less have a certain amount of Senju's aura in it.
Of course, a white-haired Senju clan member would look like Senju Tobirama, especially with his lightning speed and blade-like temperament.
"Hokage-sama, Hatake Kakashi is back to report."
……
The office was so quiet, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was still immersed in memories of the past.
"Hokage-sama?"
"Hmm? Well, I'm glad you're back."
After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally came out of his daze, secretly lamenting his age.
I actually fell into deep thought over something like this. Maybe I'm getting old.
When he was young, he always scoffed at the saying that will grow old just like the body, but as reality approaches, people can see themselves clearly.
"Kakashi, there's no rush for the mission. Have you recovered from your rest?"
The Sandaime was expressing his concern out of instinct, and he couldn't tell whether it was sincere or a trick.
"I've recovered from my illness. Thank you for your concern, Hokage."
Kakashi's heart is also very complicated. It would be a lie to say that he has no hatred in his heart after seeing the Third Hokage.
But...it's impossible for the Third Hokage to say that he doesn't love the village.
Perhaps sometimes it is a kind act to end a decadent life and allow an old man who was once passionate to leave with dignity.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, I have returned this time to liberate the you of the past.
The kendo inherited from my teacher is so firm.
Then, after asking Kakashi whether he had fully recovered, the Sandaime talked to him about the strength and information of the Fourth Raikage.
The more I listened, the more surprised I was. The Third Raikage had a successor.
He was really confident that he didn't go for the strongest shield model. Back then, Sarutobi Hiruzen earned his reputation as a ninja hero through hard work.
The third generation Ai must have fought with him, and he won a small victory by relying on forbidden techniques and sealing techniques.
I didn't expect that the fourth generation Ai's talent for heroism was not inferior to his father's, and it improved so much after the battle with Minato.
The growth of the new generation is really very fast, and Kakashi can fight with each other for a long time, and it is not an idle generation.
It’s difficult.
"Then do you know how the Fourth Raikage was seriously injured?"
This is an unsolved mystery in the ninja world. All intelligence agencies, including the ANBU Root, have not found any clues. They can only infer based on the timeline that the injuries were caused after the battle with Bloody Thunder.
There are even rumors that Kakashi used forbidden techniques to severely injure the Fourth Raikage at the last moment before retreating.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama. I was seriously injured and fell to the ground at that time. It was Jiraiya-sama who rescued me. I also heard about what happened afterwards from Konoha's channels."
In fact, Kakashi roughly knew who injured the Fourth Raikage.
Because Mr. Yusuke told me to take revenge myself.
"Is that so~ Then you should go back and rest first. When you have time, walk around the village more. Everyone wants to meet you, the great hero of Konoha."
"Hokage-sama, the front line..."
Although he hates war, if he goes to the front line with his own strength, he will definitely achieve better results, help Konoha gain an advantageous position in this war, and then end this tug-of-war.
But this enthusiasm was directly rejected.
