The Rise of Onmyoji: The Path of Naruto

Chapter 196 Because, companion

Akai Kakashi smiled at each other and did not continue the previous topic. They all turned to look at the Third Hokage who was sitting quietly on the office chair.

The old man had a calm expression on his face: "Akai's team has returned. So far, there are only two groups of genin teams in the village that are still out on missions. However, they should be back soon."

"The planned time is to start the written test part of the Chuunin assessment six days later. Considering that the ninjas from other ninja villages are tired from traveling, and it may be a bit rushed. Otherwise, the time will be set earlier. "Sandai said seriously, "The specific announcement will be issued soon. Basically, all the people participating in the selection will be here in six days."

At this time, Akai was about to interject, "Why will the Chuunin exams be held so early this year?", but was stopped by Kakashi.

After leaving the Hokage's office, walk on the road.

In the empty corridor, Kakashi glanced at Akai: "The person who came here is not evil. This chunin exam was brought up by the daimyo of the Land of Wind, and the power of the sound ninja was also involved. When the time comes, let your three students There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”

Akai's pupils narrowed and his brows furrowed slightly: "After being at ease for so many years, I'm ready to make a move again." His voice was deep.

"It's hard to say. After all, there is no evidence now, it's just speculation." Kakashi shrugged, squinting his eyes and looking at the sky, "However, I have a vague hunch. Konoha is going to change."

"It will be a big change." A light word came into Akai's ears. Kakashi had already waved his hand and walked towards his home.

As for Akai, the figure standing there hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to leave without returning to ask the third generation about the specific matters again.

Originally in a good mood, Akai felt very uncomfortable after hearing the news today.

Why can't you just live your life peacefully and have to plot for Konoha?

When there is war, there will be death. This is an inevitable fact.

Haven't they considered this?

Youyou sighed. After all, he was an elite jounin, and some things were just temporary emotions. Akai would not let such emotions sink into his heart.

On the other hand, as soon as they returned to Konoha, Sakura and Sasuke went straight to Konoha Hospital.

The worries about Kakashi and Naruto never let go.It is good to follow the C-level missions carried out by Kai's team for so many days after leaving the village. The higher the level of missions, the more records there are. It is an important evaluation criterion for individuals to be promoted to chuunin and jounin.

But the two of them did not have the sense of solidity they had when they were on missions with Kakashi and Naruto. Perhaps this was the dependence and trust in their hearts that they unconsciously developed after getting along with each other every day for the companions they truly recognized deep in their hearts.

With these thoughts in mind, the two of them came to the high-end ward area, but what they saw was an empty room.

"No, it can't be." Sakura covered her mouth, already thinking of some terrible consequences, her voice began to choke.

Sasuke frowned and scolded him angrily: "How could you not say something like that? There was no strange movement in the village. Even if the Hokage attaches such importance to Naruto and Kakashi-sensei, it is absolutely impossible." This will not be allowed to happen.”

As he said this, Sasuke didn't feel very confident.Naruto, you are my comrade, as Sasuke Uchiha admits. That kind of thing will never happen to you.

Sasuke clenched his fists.

At this time, a young man walked towards the two of them.

, a pair of glasses were slightly perched on the bridge of his nose, and he was dressed in casual clothes. There was a strange expression on the other person's face.

"Who are you looking for?" The young man was Kabuto Yakushi.

With no choice but to replace his grandfather to deliver things to the always troubled dean, Kabuto discovered that there were two ninjas in the usually empty third-floor high-end ward area.With an attitude of curiosity, I walked over.So Sakura and Sasuke were discovered.

Sakura looked at Kabuto Yakushi who seemed to have suddenly appeared, her face instantly returned to an expressionless look, and she lowered her arms without answering.

As for Uchiha Sasuke

Let’s not get our hopes up and expect this guy to open his mouth to explain.

Kabuto stood there, clearly feeling the two people's slight sense of rejection and wariness towards him, and couldn't help but shake his head.

It seemed that these two people had just completed some mission and went straight to the hospital without even changing their clothes.It seems that he is looking for some friends.

Kabuto is also a man of few words. Normally, he is not used to initiating the topic first.

The long-term underground espionage mission made Kabuto feel very idle after taking off his heavy burden and returning to Konoha.

If he was asked to accompany his grandfather, of course he would be willing to do so.The old man saved me from the battlefield and raised me. Isn't it time to spend more time with the old man?

But I couldn't help but that Medicine Master Tianshan had retired for so long, and Konoha's Medical Ninja Department was in decline. There were not many capable people, so they could only always trouble this medical master.

Kabuto Yakushi took the trouble, but after hearing his grandfather's orders one by one, he couldn't disobey them. He could only go back and forth between home and Konoha Hospital, making it seem as if he had really become a hospital in Konoha Hospital. .

That kind of small thing, in Kabuto's opinion, couldn't be any more trivial.The more times I do it, the more irritated I feel.

From this point of view, it makes sense that Kabuto would have such an abnormal performance today.

However, it seems that the other party is very indifferent to me.

Kabuto laughed at himself, and when he turned around to leave, a slightly familiar shout happened to come from behind.

"Brother Kabuto, it's you, right?" Naruto trotted closer and breathed a sigh of relief.

Kabuto recognized the blond boy in front of him, smiled and was about to respond, but he didn't expect that the little girl who just ignored him exclaimed "Naruto" and then ran closer in surprise.

The black-haired boy who had been standing next to the girl also walked over quickly. The two stood next to Naruto. The three of them looked at each other quietly, with a smile flashing in their eyes.

"I was doing the so-called special training with Kurenai, when I heard Mr. Akai talking about your return. It turns out that you were not going out on missions with Mr. Kakashi, which made me think that you had left me alone, and I was still thinking I feel a little uncomfortable," Naruto said hehey.

Sakura rolled her eyes at Naruto: "How come?" Then she looked back at Sasuke and said, "We belong to Kakashi's class, we are companions."

companion

The two words were deeply engraved in Naruto's heart, and the boy's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled: "To us, we are just companions."

For a time, different memories flashed through the minds of the three people. Whether they were bitterness or loneliness, this moment was filled with warmth.
