Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Cuckoo... cluck..."

An owl hooted somewhere, and that peculiar, somewhat eerie sound brought a bit of life to the open space at the exit of the huge primeval forest.

"teacher……"

Sitting cross-legged on a large boulder in this open space, closing his eyes and resting his mind, along with the vigilant Namikaze Minato, he suddenly heard a call from a student behind him.

"What's wrong? Obituary?"

He opened his eyes, looked back slightly, and spoke gently.

But when he turned his head, he saw Obito crawling up from under the rock, stepped forward a few steps, and sat down beside him.

"I also know the importance of teamwork, but..."

Obito, who sat down, lowered his head slightly, with a bit of depression, and said: "That guy Kakashi always regards me as a useless fool, so I... no, I was born in the so-called The elite Uchiha clan, but they are always the tail of a crane, I also admit that Kakashi is very powerful, but..."

"Um……"

Seeing Obito who was downcast and whispering softly, Namikaze Minato pondered for a moment, seemed to sigh slightly, and then said: "Kakashi is the son of Mr. Hatake Sakumo, a genius ninja known as Konoha Hakuga. Son, in front of his father, the legendary Sannin should respect him a little bit. He spent his childhood beside that kind of genius. His vision is different from yours. When he sees you, he feels lost. It's also normal."

"White Fang... I've heard of the name too. It is said that it is a hero who died in the line of duty protecting the village."

Hearing the teacher's words, Obito raised his head slightly, with a little surprise on his face, and said: "That guy Kakashi, he never said that before!"

"People in the village, including Kakashi of course, all respect this great man, if that doesn't happen..."

Looking at Obito, Namikaze Minato turned back, looked into the distance, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"That thing?"

Hearing the regretful and sighing words of his teacher, Obito was slightly taken aback.

"Perhaps I shouldn't say this kind of thing without authorization, but since you and Kakashi are teammates, then maybe you should know about this matter."

Hearing Obito's doubtful words, Namikaze Minato paused and spoke.

"In the end what happened?"

Hearing this, Obito couldn't help asking.

"Kakashi's father, Mr. Sakumo, personally ended his life because of being slandered. Five years ago, when he was performing a certain secret mission, he was embedded in the enemy line as the captain. When he was forced to face two choices, Whether to continue the mission or save his companion's life, of course, according to the village's regulations, abandoning the mission is not allowed, but he chose to save his companion's life instead of giving up the mission. His companions began to criticize him, and eventually, even those rescued companions began to slander him, so Mr. Shuo Mao was exhausted physically and mentally, and then he himself..."

With a touch of sadness in his tone, Minato Namikaze raised his head slightly, and said eloquently: "Since then, Kakashi has stopped talking about his father, and is very obsessed with obeying the rules and agreements. Therefore, Obito, Even a little bit is fine, just show some consideration to Kakashi, he doesn't mean anything malicious."

Kakashi...

After hearing these narrations, Obito's head drooped again, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, silently.

Is that so...

At this time, under the stone, Hirohiko who woke up because of the movement of Obito opened his eyes slightly, and a sudden thought flashed in his heart.

Afterwards, he glanced at Kakashi who was sleeping soundly next to him, and frowned slightly.

No wonder, Chiba specially ordered that when working with Kakashi, you must take good care of yourself.

It turned out that Kakashi had such a past.

And in his mind, flashed past the beginning of the wartime mission, when Chiba went out to perform a mission, Chiba pulled him, and gave Kakashi a particularly serious order to pay attention to the mission.

He didn't understand it then.

After all, he and Kakashi have met several times, and their teachers are in a relationship. Hirohiko still has a good impression and closeness to this super genius who can be as good as Chiba, and is also very interested in forming a team with Kakashi. Team, when he suddenly heard Chiba say that about Kakashi, he naturally didn't understand.

But out of his absolute trust in Qianye, he still remembered this sentence very clearly, and he planned to do it according to Qianye's words.

It's just that not understanding is not understanding after all, which is a doubt after all.

And now, he finally understood.

Then, another doubt surfaced.

But, why, Chiba knew about this?

Even Kakashi didn't mention it again, and there were no rumors about Hatake Sakumo's senior in the village, and even people close to Odo and Rin didn't know about it, so how did Chiba know?

"I see, then, teacher, I'll go to bed first."

However, this doubt was just the beginning, and before he could think about it, the sound of dirt on the top of his head came.

"Yeah. Take a good rest, there's still work to do tomorrow."

Then, there was Namikaze Minato's response.

Then, there was a rustling sound, and he hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He didn't open his eyes until there was a slight snoring sound from the bed next to him.

"Hirohiko, can we talk?"

However, before he could turn around, the sound of Namikaze Minato sounded above his head again.

until i wake up

But at this sound, Hiroko was really startled.

"yes!"

However, although Hirohiko was startled, he still responded quickly. After taking a look at Xue Nai who was still sleeping with Lin, he sat up from the bed and climbed up the stone.

Then, under Namikaze Minato's gaze, she sat down beside him.

"Master Minato..."

After sitting down, he looked at Namikaze Minato and said.

"How's the injury?"

But Namikaze Minato, who responded to him, asked gently.

"It has almost recovered, and there will probably be no problems tomorrow."

Hirohiko answered truthfully.

"Um."

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will be separated from Kakashi and the others. Originally, at this time, I should send you and Yukina back to the village, but..."

"I know, I am willing to stay and continue the mission with Kakashi and the others. They are also my partners."

Hearing this, Hirohiko didn't wait for Namikaze Minato to finish, he interrupted his words, and said firmly.

To be honest, even if Namikaze Minato didn't make this request, he would still ask to stay.

He, too, has his plan!

"Then, I will send Xue Nai back safely."

Hirohiko agreed so straightforwardly, Namikaze Minato was a little taken aback, but, after all, he is a character who can become Hokage in the future, and there was no need for surprise at the moment, and the decision was made simply.

Such an arrangement does not mean that he favors the three of Kakashi and wants to pull Hirohiko to serve as Kakashi's guard.

But out of consideration for the mission of Kannabi Bridge, Hirohiko's performance is obviously better than that of his disciples. If he stays, it will undoubtedly increase the success rate of the mission. As a team, Kakashi and the others, after all, still have There are many immature places, and these immaturities can easily cause problems.

With Hirohiko here, at least, there is an extra strength to make up for the problems caused by these immaturities.

And this kid's strength is not bad, if it's really not good, he can walk the rest of the way and complete the mission of Shenwubi Bridge.

"Thank you, Minato-sensei!"

Hearing Namikaze Minato's straightforward agreement and the words that he wanted to send his other miss Yukina back to the village, Hirohiko thanked him very sincerely.

"Go and rest."

Hirohiko agreed so simply, Namikaze Minato also saved a lot of words, smiled slightly, patted his lover's disciple on the shoulder, nodded and said.

"yes!"

Hearing this, Hongyan responded and climbed down the stone.

Hope, Kushina won't...

Seeing Hirohiko climb down, Namikaze Minato's face showed a somewhat contradictory look, but soon, it was replaced by firmness.

This is what he must do!

For the sake of the village, he must guarantee the highest success rate of the Shenwu Biqiao mission.
