Awakening a substitute in Naruto World

Konoha Village, the Land of Fire.

Because they were traveling by carriage, everyone finally returned to Konoha after several days.

……

Village entrance.

At this moment, the place is already crowded with people. The letter sent by Kūqiu Kazuki a few days ago has already arrived in the village. Because some patrolling ninjas who knew about it did not keep the news, the news that a group of people defeated an organization this time is very small. The news soon spread throughout the village!

"Hoho! The heroes are back!"

The crowd quickly cheered after seeing Kakashi and others getting off the carriage.

"Hahahaha! I heard that they defeated an organization with more than 100 people this time! The people in that organization seemed to have weapons that we have never seen before! It's really amazing!"

"An organization with more than 100 people" was deliberately written incorrectly by Kazuki Kōqiu, because many of the original 200-person organization were wiped out by his own side. After taking into account the perceptions of others, he classified the organization's The number of people is said to be small.

"Great hero! Great hero!"

"This time it must be Kakashi who deserves the most credit! He is the genius of our village!"

"That's for sure! But I heard that Obito is also very strong! He has already awakened the three magatama!"

Only some people in the village know about Obito's kaleidoscope information, because it is the secret of the Uchiha clan after all, and the fewer people know about it, the better!

……

"Eh...that's not right! Why are there so many fewer people?"

Suddenly, doubts came from the crowd. He remembered that the village sent about 20 people this time!Why are there only a dozen now?

"That's right! And Kakashi-kun's appearance...is a little different! Eh? Why does he need someone else to support him?"

After being awakened by that person, everyone realized that something was wrong!

"Ah! Isn't that Asuma, the third generation's son? Why...he only has one arm!"

"Ahhh! That...corpse! Someone was sacrificed!"

After seeing the returning group carrying several corpses out of the car, the discussion in the crowd suddenly became noisier!

……

"Everyone! Please be quiet first!"

At this time, a young man with black hair parted in the middle walked to the entrance of the village and shouted to the talking crowd. This man was Kong Qiu Yimu.

"He is...the winner of the first new jounin exam? What is his name?"

"Kongqiu Yimu! This boy is quite famous, but he is not very conspicuous at ordinary times!"

"..."

After seeing that the crowd started to become quieter, Kongqiu Yimu sighed and continued:

"I believe you all already know the results of our trip, right? I'm sorry... Although we won, it also comes with sacrifice! Please step aside first! We are going to bury the dead!"

……

"This... aren't they very powerful? Why are there still people dying!"

"It seems they are not really strong..."

"After all, they are still a bunch of kids! How can they be omnipotent!"

At this moment, the original sound of celebration in the crowd changed to this for some reason!Rumors began to emerge from the crowd!

"a bunch of idiots……"

Listening to the gossip among the crowd, Kongqiu Yimu cursed in his heart. It seemed that it was the same no matter where he went!People can never be pure white. Once a trigger appears, it will quickly amplify the dark side in their hearts!

Although the onlookers were talking a lot at the moment, they were still obedient and quickly gave way.

"Guys, let's go to the cemetery!"

After the crowd retreated, Kuqiu Kazuki turned back to Kakashi and others and said.

Da da da……

The footsteps of the group of people were very heavy. On the white stretcher were the remains of the deceased. In order to prevent the remains of the deceased from being seen by everyone, several people even covered them with white cloth.

As for the seriously injured Obito, he was taken to the hospital first by Kai and Genma.

……

"Tsk, tsk...seven people died!"

"Sigh... They can't even protect their companions well. After all, they are just a bunch of brats!"

"Hey! Who knew all the dead people were like that?"

"You can tell by looking at the living people! I heard that Hinata sent two people. The one who is alive now seems to be from the branch family. Wait! The dead one... seems to be Minghui from the clan!"

"Ah? Is that the genius of the Hyuga clan? Why is he the one who died! He should still have a lot of room for growth! But it is this branch that survives! Alas, it's hard to explain in words!"

"Eh? I heard that there are people from Ino Shiga Butterfly! It seems that only that brat from the Nara clan is left alive now! Do you think there is any inside story here?"

"Could it be that this kid abandoned his companions?"

"It's very possible! Hmph! All the Nara clan are human spirits! They are very smart. Guys like this must be aiming for their own survival!"

"Wait a minute! I found something wrong with Kakashi-kun! He seems... to have become blind!"

"Huh? Is this... really fake?"

"That's true! I've already seen something wrong with this!"

"Hey, he is a rare genius after all! Can he still be a ninja in the future?"

"It seems like that's all! What a genius! It's probably just exaggerated!"

……

"..."

Listening to the murmurs in the crowd, the group did not say a word the whole time. The burial of their companions was the most important thing at the moment. If they were angry because of such things and delayed the time, it would be disrespectful to the deceased!

Hey!

At this time, a figure appeared in front of everyone, it was Minato Namikaze!Minato was followed by a dozen ANBU.

"Lord Hokage."

Kongqiu Yimu bowed politely.

"I said just call me sir! Yimu, I read your letter. The battle this time is very tragic..."

Minato stepped forward to help Kazuki up, and then said with a sad expression.

"It's our fault that we failed to protect our companions! Please punish Mr. Minato!"

Kongqiu Yimu said.

"No... if we face that kind of new weapon, even I might suffer a loss without any information! It's not your fault! Are you tired too? Let the ANBU bury the dead! You go back first Recuperate!"

Minato shook his head. He didn't blame Kazuki and the others for the death of so many people. After all, anyone in this situation might suffer!

"Then please let us witness the moment when our companions rest in peace!" Yimu said.You must say such moral words yourself, otherwise it will definitely leave a bad impression.

"okay!"

Minato nodded in agreement.Then, the ANBU behind Minato took the stretchers from everyone's hands and started walking towards the cemetery.

……

After arriving at the cemetery, everyone also selected the cemetery for the deceased. After witnessing that they were all buried, everyone felt at ease.

"Ichiki, come to the office with me! Some things need to be reported to you in person! Lin, please come here with Kakashi!"

After walking out of the cemetery, Minato called Ichiki, and Rin and Kakashi went to his office together.Right now, he really wants to see Ichiki Shinzhong's new weapon!

Afterwards, Ichiki and three others followed Minato to the office, while the others returned to their respective homes.

……

Inside the Hokage office.

"Is this... the gun you mentioned in your letter?"

Minato looked at the several pistols and grenades on the table, feeling surprised.

After listening to Kazuki Kongqiu once again recounted the story of Kawanoguni and his party, he also took out the firearms he had collected.

"Yes, these are the weapons we can collect now! The others were damaged due to the battle, so we can only get these!"

Kongqiu Yimu explained.

His words were naturally false. In fact, he had hidden most of the firearms and explosives!What Minato is being shown right now is only what is on the surface!

"Well, to be able to beat you like this, the power of this gun is self-evident! I will use it next time. I already fully understand the situation of this mission. You have done a good job. !”

"It was me who suffered the loss of the intelligence, and every one of us is responsible this time!"

Kongqiu Yimu shook his head and said.

Under his flawless explanation just now, Minato had already believed the slightly different mission story he had fabricated!

He explained it based on what everyone knew, so no matter who he sent later to prove whether what he said was true or not, he would be able to pass it!

"Ichigi doesn't have to blame himself like this! You've done a great job, go back first! I still need to talk to Kakashi about some things alone!" Minato said.

"Yes!" Kong Qiu Kazuki bowed and then left the Hokage's office.

……

Hey!

Closing the door gently, Kongqiu Kazuki ignored what happened next. Anyway, he would not let Minato find out the clues. He also wanted to go home and see Xiaomei now!

"The results of our mission have probably spread throughout the village now, right? Then Xiaomei probably knows about Ichika's death... How should we comfort her?"

On the way home, Kongqiu Yimu thought to himself.

As Xiao Xiaomei's best friend, Ichika is now dead because of her improper protection, so she is responsible!Maybe...it's time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Xiaoxiaomei!

Thinking of this, Kongqiu Yimu also quickened his pace...

……

Kongqiu Yimu's house.

Hey!

After gently closing the door, Kongqiu Yimu said with some difficulty: "I'm back!"

……

"Ok?"

Seeing no one responded for a long time, Kongqiu Yimu walked into the living room. After finding no one on the first floor, he went up to the second floor.

"Be careful with beauty!"

After shouting but getting no response, Kazuki Kuangqiu went to Naze Shinmei's room to check.

"The door is open?"

Seeing that the door was ajar, Kong Qiu Yimu tentatively pushed the door open.

call……

A gust of breeze blew over, and Kuqiu Kazuki's expression was stunned. Naze Shinmei was standing on the small balcony outside the room at the moment, as if the wind was blowing...

"..."

As if she noticed someone coming in, Naze Shinmei turned her head slightly to look. After discovering that it was Kuqiu Kazuki, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, then walked forward and said with a smile:

"You're back! Brother Yimu..."

"Were you crying just now?"

Kongqiu Yimu didn't intend to be embarrassed like this, so he spoke directly.

"No, it's just that the cold wind hurt the corners of my eyes!" Naze Shinmei said with a playful smile, and then hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes.

"You already knew that...right!"

Kongqiu Yimu continued.

"..."

Seeing this, Naze Shinmei also understood what Kuqiu Kazuki meant. He wanted to speak openly, so she had no choice but to nod and said: "Yes."

"I'm sorry...because I failed to protect Ichika! It's my fault..."

"Brother Yimu, there is no need to blame yourself like this! Since the person is dead...then I can only look forward! I couldn't understand this feeling before, but after my father's influence, I also understand such things. It’s opened a lot!”

"I……"

Hey!

Before the words were spoken, Naze Shinmei leaned her head against Kuangqiu Kazuki's chest and said with some choking: "I told you... Brother Kazuki, you don't have to do this! I'm not the same person I used to be. Got it!"

"Be careful with the beauty..."

"There is no need to say any more words of comfort. Now... I just want to be quiet for a while. Brother Yimu, please be quiet like this! I can understand you. I feel your heartbeat. It is a very sincere voice!"
