Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Days spent in focused research, like those spent slacking off, always seem to fly by.

Early in the morning, Hidezawa and Yuugao got ready together and headed towards the Anbu.

Since they lived together, they usually went out together, which improved their relationship.

The only pity was that the Senju clan's ancestral home was too big, and there were too many rooms.

"And I'm still a little young."

With a slight sigh in his heart, they soon arrived, but to their surprise, a new person had come to the Anbu today.

"Uchiha Itachi?"

Yuugao looked at Uchiha Itachi with some surprise, she didn't expect this young master of the Uchiha to be here.

Hidezawa, on the other hand, seemed very calm. Uchiha Itachi was in the Anbu, so how could he massacre his entire clan?

"Hidezawa, you're here."

Shisui smiled and pulled his little brother over, considering it a courtesy call.

"I don't think he needs any introduction, after all, you can be considered old acquaintances."

"Hello, Senior. I've always wanted to thank you for saving my life, but I never had the chance."

Uchiha Itachi seemed very enthusiastic, but when he said these words, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He had heard about many things that night. To be honest, he had been thinking about a question: if Uchiha Obito hadn't appeared, what would Hidezawa have done?

After thinking about it, he felt that this Anbu senior would most likely have strangled him to death and then abandoned his body in the wilderness to clear his name.

"Time really flies, kid. I didn't expect that you, who participated in the Chunin Exam back then, would actually become my colleague now."

Hidezawa unceremoniously put on airs. He patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder in a way that encouraged his junior, which immediately made the corner of Uchiha Itachi's mouth twitch even more.

"Speaking of which, who are you with? Maybe I know something about it."

"It's Captain Kakashi."

Uchiha Itachi forced a smile and replied. Hidezawa immediately showed a sighing expression.

"Captain Kakashi, huh? He's a good captain, but I heard that he's always late, and because of the Uchiha Obito incident, his emotions are always up and down, so..."

"Hey, hey, hey, Hidezawa, isn't it not good to talk bad about people behind their backs?"

Just then, Kakashi walked over with Tenzō, and the eye he showed couldn't help but roll like a dead fish.

"Also, I've calmed down. I'm not as unbearable as you said. Didn't you already see it when you were studying in the Anbu before?"

Perhaps he had accepted reality, or perhaps he already had his own ideas.

Kakashi's emotions were indeed not as volatile as before. They got along well when they were studying together in the Anbu, but that didn't stop Hidezawa from teasing Kakashi.

"Hidezawa, good morning."

Tenzō was very honest, he smiled and nodded slightly to Hidezawa.

Since Hidezawa activated Wood Release, his attitude towards Hidezawa had become even better.

They were both from Root, and now everyone could use Wood Release, even if he only possessed it because of the experiment. But no matter how you looked at it, he and Hidezawa were the same kind of people.

"Morning."

Hidezawa also nodded to Tenzō. At this time, Kakashi continued to speak.

"Alright, the new person has been introduced. Hidezawa, your team and I will go see the Hokage together."

"Huh?"

Hidezawa and Yuugao looked at Kakashi in confusion, and Shisui also had a strange look on his face. Fortunately, Kakashi didn't keep them in suspense and said directly.

"It seems there's a mission that our two teams will carry out together, so let's go."

A mission?

Hidezawa blinked. He thought he would continue to patrol and slack off in Konoha for a while, but he didn't expect the mission to come so quickly.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was somewhat solemn.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura on the side didn't say anything, but Danzō was somewhat excited.

"This looks like a conspiracy. Obviously, the Cloud Village is deliberately disgusting people, and the Stone Village plans to take the opportunity to do something!"

"We can all see that, but this matter does need to be investigated."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat helpless. In fact, he really didn't want to pay attention to this matter. Anyone could see that there was a problem here.

But Konoha had to accept it, just like the Fourth Raikage was tricked by them with a scheme.

Whether it was the Uzumaki or the Senju, Konoha had to react!

If it was the Senju, then it concerned the situation of the Senju clan. They had just brought Tsunade back, and now there was Hidezawa in the village who could use Wood Release.

As for the Uzumaki, Konoha had better make an initial statement. After all, the Uzumaki clan had been destroyed, and the clansmen had fled in all directions.

As Konoha, a former ally of the Uzumaki, and with the relationship between the Uzumaki and Senju clans, if they really didn't care, how would others view Konoha in the future?

It could be said that hitting the snake seven inches, it really hit Konoha's weak spot...

"It would be good to just ignore it, why bother so much!"

Danzō snorted coldly. Although he was also curious in his heart, he didn't want any accidents to happen. He had long regarded Wood Release and the Mangekyo Sharingan as his own.

"Danzō, none of us want to care, but Ōnoki has already spread the news."

Utatane Koharu also seemed to have a headache and opened her mouth. Mitokado Homura nodded on the side.

"It is reported that Kurotsuchi may go in person. If we don't respond, the situation will not look good."

Kurotsuchi had already taken action personally, which clearly showed that Ōnoki was interested in this matter. If Ōnoki really seized the opportunity, Konoha would lose face.

This was also a kind of game between villages. Sometimes everyone really had no choice.

Knock knock knock…

Just as Danzo was about to say something, a knock came from outside the Hokage's office.

A moment later, Kakashi walked in with Shūzawa and the others, seeing the 'Konoha Four Giants' all present, and their expressions were not very good.

Shūzawa and the others immediately realized that something big was probably happening again!

"You're here?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to Kakashi and Shūzawa and the others, he didn't hide anything and directly told them about the events in Kusagakure.

"The situation is somewhat severe now, Konoha must verify this matter no matter what, so I plan to have you two teams merge and go together, can you do it?"

"We understand, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi and the others immediately said, Shūzawa also mixed in, but his expression was a little strange for a moment.

He had messed with the Fourth Raikage, and although he said it was okay, he would definitely be thinking about revenge in his heart, which was within expectations.

But what is going on now, could it be that the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki is a genius?

Although he deliberately disgusted Konoha and had some ideas about them, he guessed it so accurately, it's really outrageous!

"So this time we will be facing, is it Huangtu, or is it..."

Shūzawa would definitely not think that Ōnoki would let his son take risks, he would definitely make some other arrangements.

For example, hiring some people to come and deliberately cause trouble?

"Akatsuki, or other mercenary ninja organizations."

The Third Tsuchikage hiring some ninja organizations to help him do some things that are not easy to do is not a big secret in the ninja world.

The most likely one is naturally the Akatsuki organization, after all, this group of people is indeed very strong!

"Then you go and prepare."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded as he looked at everyone's statements, he glanced at Danzo again, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to speak.

"However, this mission is very complicated, I will mobilize the border troops near Kusagakure to assist you.

At the same time, Anbu will be mobilized in secret, as well as some Root ninjas to cooperate with you.

Danzo, no problem, right?"

"Hmm."

Although Danzo didn't want to agree, he had to agree at this time.

After all, he didn't want these forces to really benefit that damn old man Ōnoki, that would be too much of a loss!

After a brief explanation, they left the Hokage's office.

Anbu is like this, basically they have to set off at any time when there is a mission, and this time the situation is not optimistic, so they plan to act directly.

"I didn't expect there to be another troublesome mission."

Shūzawa put on his mask, then sighed, and at the same time he looked at Uchiha Itachi beside him with amusement.

"You're lucky, kid, you have such a mission as soon as you join Anbu, be careful, don't die."

"I'll be careful."

Uchiha Itachi also silently put on his mask, he really wanted to retort, you don't look much older than me.

In fact, he himself did not expect that on the first day of joining Anbu, he would encounter such a mission.

Joining Anbu was something he longed for in his heart, after all, this way he could do more things.

It's just that after he participated in and passed the assessment and confirmed his passage, his father once found him and had a good chat with him.

Simply put, his father hoped that he could use this opportunity to let the clan know some of the current trends in the village!

Anbu is the Hokage's personal guard and can access more information that ordinary people cannot access.

With such an identity, this can provide Uchiha with more convenience!

Uchiha Itachi was unwilling to do this in his heart, and he had already reflected on what the clansmen were saying about 'the clan', 'the clan'.

It's just that due to his father's request, he could only reluctantly agree.

"The village and the clan, what exactly is going on..."

Uchiha Itachi didn't understand, but he wouldn't ask his father about this kind of thing, he would rather observe and think about it himself.

Finally, he would come to his own answer, and act based on it, which was what his father taught him.

"Alright, don't embarrass him, anyway, with Kakashi-senpai's guidance, I believe he will adapt quickly."

Shisui persuaded from the side, he was still very confident in his little brother.

"That's right, Shūzawa, in fact, we were also clumsy when we performed our first mission."

Tenzō said with a smile from the side.

"I heard from former Root colleagues that you were hiding behind when you performed your first mission, although it was almost the same later, but..."

"That's all nonsense!"

Shūzawa was immediately a little unhappy, although that was indeed him.

At the beginning, he always retreated behind everyone with the mentality that it was better to slack off than to work for Danzo, but that was all in the past.

"I was observing the battle situation, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

"Oh, oh."

Tenzō nodded, he didn't want to make Shūzawa unhappy.

"Alright, let's prepare to set off, anyway, Kusagakure is not far away."

Kakashi quickly smoothed things over from the side.

"I really didn't expect that there would be a day to return to Kusagakure."

"Kakashi-senpai seems to miss that place very much?"

Shūzawa raised his head and looked at Kakashi curiously.

"However, didn't Uchiha Obito not die?"

"..."

Kakashi didn't want to talk anymore, why does this kid always say things he doesn't like to hear?
