Naruto Kakashi

The night is as dark as ink, and the cold wind is bleak.

It's been two days since the root dive.

At this time, Kakashi was standing in front of an inconspicuous tombstone in the cemetery of Konoha Village.

This is the grave of his father, Hatake Sakumo.

Kakashi had been in front of the tomb for 5 minutes, just watching quietly without saying anything, or not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, a gorgeous firework rose from the village and bloomed in the dark night, breaking the tranquility here.

Before the first fireworks dissipated, several more went up one after another, and the lively atmosphere spread from the village to here.

"New Year is coming soon." Kakashi looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky and then remembered that New Year was coming soon.

The lively fireworks made the expressionless Kakashi smile.

After looking up for a long time, Kakashi lowered his head, took another deep look at the gray tombstone in front of him, and then disappeared.

……

The next morning, Kakashi started to pack his luggage after having breakfast.

Today is the day when the third generation goes to the Daming Mansion to resume his life, and this time Kakashi no longer intends to pretend.

He carried the White Fang sword behind his back, then slowly took out the scratched Konoha forehead protector and tied it on his head.

After getting dressed, Kakashi walked to the mirror and took a look. Everything was no different from a few months ago.

Except for a deep scratch on the forehead protector.

The route the Sandaime took to the Daming Mansion was not a secret, and you would know it after just asking Kakashi.

Then referring to the map, Kakashi chose the meeting place at the edge of the Konoha Forest.

After glancing at the time and realizing that it was almost time, Kakashi took out a cloak and put it on, then went out and rushed towards the determined location.

Soon Kakashi arrived at the place planned in advance, standing on a tree looking in the direction of Konoha Village, quietly waiting for the arrival of the third generation.

Without letting Kakashi wait any longer, he soon saw the third generation wearing a Hokage cloak walking from the depths of the forest.

As the third generation Hokage of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kakashi has always respected him very much, but at this moment, he no longer had any respect in his heart, only anger and hatred.

Kakashi jumped down from the tree and blocked the third generation's path.

The moment Kakashi appeared, three ANBU guards wearing white robes and masks immediately appeared in front of the third generation, looking at Kakashi warily: "Who are you?"

Kakashi calmly lifted his cloak.

"Kakashi?! As a rebel of Konoha, you actually dare to show up here so arrogantly." Although Kakashi's Sharingan was sealed, Kakashi did not make the slightest disguise at this moment, so he immediately was recognized.

Looking at the sudden appearance of Kakashi, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised, but felt helpless and guilty.

Especially seeing the deep scratch on Kakashi's Konoha forehead protector.

In fact, ever since he knew that Kakashi made trouble in the Country of Whirlpool and killed the Daimyo of the Country of Whirlpool, Hiruzen Sarutobi had guessed that such a day would come, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to ask the guards to retreat, and only Kakashi and Sarutobi Hiruzen were left in the clearing in the forest.

The three guards who retreated into the darkness did not rest in peace. They moved secretly in the forest, forming a vague encirclement, surrounding Kakashi.

Kakashi also noticed the movements of the three guards, but Kakashi, who was holding the Flying Thunder God, did not pay attention.

"When did you come back?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to speak, his tone still full of love and concern.

"A month ago." Kakashi replied expressionlessly, but his tone was very calm.

"Have you worshiped Minato and the others?"

"We worshiped last night." Kakashi's expression remained the same.

Seeing Kakashi's expressionless look, the third generation couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you already know some things about that year."

"Yes, I came here today just to confirm its authenticity."

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the forehead protector on Kakashi's forehead, and his tone finally calmed down.

"Does that mean my father was really forced to death by you?"

"Although it was not my intention, it is indeed the case." The third generation looked ashamed, but still nodded and admitted.

"It wasn't your intention? Ha." Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen admit it, Kakashi, who had always been expressionless, suddenly showed a painful smile.

In fact, Kakashi has been running away since he learned the cause of his father's death from the Daimyo of Whirlpool Country.

He couldn't or couldn't believe that it was the village that forced his father to death.

In his heart, the village is sacred and cannot be defiled.

Because this is his father, his teacher, his companion, and the village he protects with his blood and life.

Therefore, even though Kakashi saw what was written on the scroll with his own eyes and heard what the Daimyo of the Uzumaki Country said with his own ears.

But he still has a glimmer of hope in his heart. He hopes to get "a truth" to prove and refute that they are all false.

The village was still sacred and could not be tarnished, and his father's efforts were worth it.

This is the reason why Kakashi returned directly to Konoha Village from the Country of Whirlpool.

But now the remaining trace of luck has disappeared with the recognition of the third generation.

All his fantasies were shattered at this moment, forcing him to face the reality he had been deliberately avoiding.

Seeing Kakashi fall into silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen lamented and said in a deep voice: "The village is indeed sorry for your father, and also sorry for you."

"The situation at that time was relatively complicated. The war had just ended, and the situation in various countries was still relatively tense, with constant small-scale frictions."

"It was at this time that someone tried to use your father's reputation to sow discord and divide the village."

"Your father also noticed it, but it happened that the mission failed, and those who did not support your father took the opportunity to jump out, causing the ninjas in the village to divide into two factions."

"In order to avoid division, your father finally chose to commit suicide. This was his choice, and everything he did was for the stability of the village and to protect the village."

At first Kakashi just listened quietly, but when he heard this, a strong anger surged into his heart.

"Protect the village?" Kakashi looked at the third generation and said word by word, "It can't even protect the people who protect it. What else is there worth protecting in such a village?"

"And I want to know, in these incidents, where do you stand, Hokage-sama? What are the positions of other high-level officials in Konoha?" Kakashi continued to ask.

"I really didn't handle this matter well enough." The third generation said with a look of shame.

"Not good enough?" Kakashi shook his head, "I just want to know who is behind it. I don't believe that there would be such a big public opinion without someone organizing it and without the approval of you Konoha senior officials."

Hearing Kakashi's sharp question, the third generation was speechless for a moment, and finally sighed and shook his head without saying anything else.

At this point, the anger in Kakashi's heart could no longer be controlled, and his right hand suddenly reached back towards the White Fang sword.

But as soon as Kakashi put his hand on the hilt of the sword, the ground around him shook, and then he saw four stone pillars suddenly rising around him.

Then Kakashi felt a strong electromagnetic force restraining him in place, and then a hole appeared above his head, and a giant lid crashed down on him from the hole.

Thunder Escape·Four Pillars Bound, Earth Escape·Low Cover.

The attack did not come from the third generation, but from the ANBU guards hidden in the surroundings and well prepared.

Regarding the attack by the ANBU guard, Kakashi's expression did not change at all, and he was still staring at the third generation not far away, but the third generation seemed to have no intention of taking action.

Kakashi looked deeply at the third generation, and just when the cover was about to hit him, he suddenly disappeared.

"Flying Thunder God?!" Seeing Kakashi's sudden disappearance, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had worked with Minato for many years, naturally recognized what kind of technique it was.

It was precisely because he recognized it that he was even more surprised. He could clearly see how difficult it was to learn this technique.

Since the Nidaime developed this technique, only the Nidaime and Minato have learned it.

Unexpectedly, Kakashi had only been away from the village for more than two months, and he could even learn to fly the Thunder God.

"Okay, no need to chase." After a brief surprise, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to stop the guard's pursuit.

Then he looked at the direction where Kakashi disappeared and sighed deeply.
