Naruto and Shadow

“You are hopeless.”

Early the next morning, Tsunade, who got up early, hugged Hino Hikaru at the door, who had packed her bags and was about to leave.

“Tsunade……”

Hino Hikaru wanted to reach out and hug him back, but Tsunade was noticed and dodged first.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m just feeling sorry for a pet fish that’s about to die, and by the way, I want to fulfill the wish that a certain fish had before it died.”

“You know I want more than that.”

Hino Hikaru could only retract his hands that wanted to hug this big sister.

She is such a shy woman.

“I’m talking to the fish, not you.”

Without saying goodbye, Tsunade turned around very cleanly and walked back to the house.

“I’ll let you win, Miss Tsunade!”

Although he could only see Tsunade’s back, Hino Hikaru waved happily.

The unexpected hug made him feel full of energy now.

“Tsunade…sama……”

After sensing that Hino Hikari was gone, Tsunade finally could no longer remain calm and calm.

She began to slip weakly, and then leaned on the wall at the door of the room as if on her knees.

And Shizune, who was awakened by Hino Hikaru’s last call, happened to come out of the room and witness all this.

Tsunade-sama is actually crying?

That bad guy Hino Hikari, she had already said she couldn’t let him stay here!

——

“I’m sorry, I didn’t think through what I said yesterday. I hope you can forgive me!”

As soon as he arrived at the meeting point, Hino Hikaru saw Obito bending down to apologize to him.

“what happened?”

Hino Hikaru looked at Obito in front of him in confusion, and then at the people around him.

“Yesterday, I said unauthorized things without considering your mood at all. I, I already know that I was wrong…so……”

Obito’s attitude towards admitting his mistake is quite correct.

“It was sister Kushina who enlightened Obito later.”

In order to increase Hino Hikaru’s trust in this apology, Nohara Lin briefly explained the development of yesterday’s events.

“It is the most painful thing for those who see their companions die with their own eyes, Kushina-sama said so, so yesterday… I am really sorry!”

Obito bowed his head again

“No……”

Will Uzumaki Kushina enlighten Obito like this?

Although it sounds reasonable,…

Hikaru No. 2 always feels a little want to laugh.

“What surprised me was not that you would apologize, but that you weren’t late today?”

If I remember correctly, Obito in the original work should be late today.

This was what surprised Hino Hikaru at first.

Has the world line begun to change?

“I……”

Uchiha Obito scratched his head in embarrassment

“It seems that the rumors are indeed not credible.”

Hino Hikaru smiled and stretched out his hand.

“Um……”

After being stunned for a second, Obito reluctantly grasped Hino Hikaru’s extended palm.

“The rumors are indeed unbelievable. How could I be late for every mission?”

Even he knew that Hino Hikaru’s active action of reaching out represented forgiveness.

And he also understood the connotation of the sentence just now

“Obito……”

“It’s a shame that you can say such things without changing your name.”

Now even Nohara Lin and Kakashi couldn’t help but smile.

“Welcome to join us, Hikaru Hino.”

After seeing Hino Hikaru accepting Obito’s apology, Namikaze Minato also sent his greetings seriously.

——

“That brat Onoki is really boring.”

Somewhere underground.

After listening to the news from Black Zetsu that a large-scale war broke out in the Ninja world, the already old Madara Uchiha slightly raised his eyelids.

“But the war seems to be started by this boring guy every time.”

Boring, childish, and timid, this is Uchiha Madara’s evaluation of Onoki, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village. 2

“Where is the Uchiha brat I chose now?”2

“They are already on the way to their mission, and are probably almost at the border area of the Fire Country now.”

“I don’t have much time. After I die, I’ll leave the rest of the plan to you.”

Uchiha Madara looked at his”clone””——

Hei Zetsu’s whole body is pitch black

“Got it, my lord.”

Hei Jue replied respectfully.

——

“From today on, Kakashi is a real Jonin. Due to Konoha’s current serious lack of combat power and in order to improve the efficiency of completing tasks, we will now be divided into two groups. Lin, Obito and Hino, you guys The three of us will form a new action team with Kakashi as the captain, and I will be alone.”

“It’s incredible that someone like Kakashi can actually become a Jonin.……”

As soon as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, Obito complained in a somewhat unhappy manner.

“I’m also surprised that you can become a chuunin.”

Kakashi also responded mercilessly.

“I represent the elite Uchiha clan, and I will surpass you sooner or later. After I open my Sharingan, you will know what the gap is!”

“Even if they don’t rely on the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan are still elites, right? On the contrary, even if you have a Sharingan at the end of a crane like you, it probably won’t be of much use.”

“What did you say! ?”

“Really, stop arguing……”

Seeing that the two companions were showing signs of starting to”fight” again, Nohara Lin quickly ran between them

“We are already close to the national border, so you’d better be careful.”

Although it is quite fun to watch the disciples having fun, you still have to be serious when the mission should be serious.

Especially now that we are almost entering the dangerous area where we will fight the ninjas of Iwagakure Village.

Namikaze Minato reminded everyone, While spreading out the map on a nearby stone,

“This is the current offensive line of the Earth Kingdom invasion, and their advance has arrived……”

“The battle line has actually advanced much further than before?”

Looking at the map and the enemy’s current advance, even Obito exclaimed.

“Yes, the current situation is quite critical. After sending you to the Country of Grass, I have to rush to the frontline battlefield immediately.”

“The fact that the enemy is advancing so smoothly means that their rear support is quite adequate, right?”

Nohara Lin also began to understand the importance of their mission.

“That’s right, so the only bridge in this place, Kannabi Bridge, is our mission goal, and when a large number of ninjas are sent to the front line, it is completely feasible for a few elite ninjas to sneak in to complete the task of hindering the enemy.”

It’s just that the danger is quite high…

Even now that he has set out, Namikaze Minato is still worried about several of his disciples.

“Stealth mission?”

Kakashi was also a little nervous. After all, this was his first time as captain.

“Well, Kakashi, the goal of your team is to sneak behind the enemy, find the Kannabi Bridge, destroy the bridge used by the enemy to transport materials, and then evacuate quickly.”1

“yes!”

But Kakashi’s desire to achieve meritorious service is far greater than his current nervousness.

So his current mood is probably more excited.

“If you want to blow up a bridge, you need to use a detonating charm, right?”

There are no”nuclear bomb” ninjas here. It is not easy to blow up a thousand-meter bridge.

Hino Hikaru was also puzzled at first as to why a bridge would hinder ninjas, until he discovered the size of the bridge.

Ordinary ninjas Ninjutsu cannot repair a bridge like this.

“I have it in my backpack.”

Namikaze Minato pointed to his bag.

“After you complete your infiltration, I will find a way to join you and complete the bridge bombing mission at that time.”1

“I see.”

Sure enough, the person holding the bottom in the end was still Namikaze Minato.

Hino Hikaru’s doubts were finally resolved.

“In short, Kakashi is the captain now. I will be with you until we reach the Country of Grass, and then we will split up.”

Namikaze Minato said as he took out a special kunai from his pocket and handed it to Kakashi.

“Today is a very important day for Kakashi, so this is a congratulatory gift. I hope you find it useful.”

“Thanks.”

Kakashi accepted the teacher’s kindness.

“This is the gift I prepared, Kakashi.”

Nohara Rin also took out the gift she had prepared a long time ago, an emergency medical kit.

She spent a lot of effort to make it.

Kakashi also nodded and thanked him, and then stretched out his hand to Obito who was watching the show.

“What’s the meaning……”

Looking at Kakashi’s hand reaching out to ask for a gift, Obito felt a little embarrassed, but he still kept a straight face as he was unwilling to bow his head in front of Kakashi.

“I, I don’t have a gift for you!”

“Oh, I didn’t expect anything from you anyway.”

Kakashi shrugged indifferently.

“you guy……”

Obito gritted his teeth, but after all, it was him who was in the wrong, and it was hard for him to say anything more.

“Well, do you need a gift from me?”

Looking at the happy Minato class in front of him, Hino Hikaru suddenly became interested in getting involved.

“what gift?”

Kakashi saw that Hino Hikari’s hands were still empty.

“A piece of advice and a story, but I’ll save the story for later. Let me tell you the advice first.”

“advice?”

Not only Kakashi, but also Obito looked over curiously.

“Well, the advice is – after defeating the enemy, don’t forget to do the last hit”

“That’s it?”

Kakashi was quite uninterested.

He thought that this insignificant ninja would say something very useful.

For example, something related to his father.

“Okay, the mission officially begins now, everyone cheer up, we are going to cross the border to the Country of Grass!”

Seeing that the gifts had been delivered, Namikaze Minato once again seriously reminded everyone not to relax their vigilance.

Because ahead – he had sensed that there were enemy reconnaissance ninjas approaching in their direction.
