Roots of Naruto

Xiu knelt respectfully in front of the snake-like man, "Master Orochimaru, I am here to assist you under the order of Lord Danzo."

The man in front of him has changed, he is immersed in the forbidden technique and powerful and cannot extricate himself.

"Xiu, long time no see." Orochimaru looked at the girl playfully, compared to the first time they met, she was really more excellent and more like a machine. "I'm still a little surprised that the contact person sent by Danzo is you."

Xiu lowered his eyes and didn't speak.

The interest in Dashewan's eyes became more and more serious: "Do you know how your brother died?"

It is impossible for a mission failure to kill a ninja with great potential. My brother is a victim of appeasing the defeated country.Voluntarily died in disgrace...but he brought peace.

"This is Nissan's glory." Xiu raised his head and said seriously, "If the village needs to sacrifice Xiu, Xiu will die without hesitation."

"Hehe..." Orochimaru laughed in a low voice, "Danzo really taught a good apprentice."

Xiu remembered that night when she stood beside Shuo Mao and asked, "Would Nissan be willing to die for Konoha?"

Shuo Mao answered without any hesitation: "I am willing."

"Do you have no regrets even if you are infamous after death?"

"I have no regrets."

Afterwards, Xiu ran back and forth between Danzo and Orochimaru. "If your lord hurts an innocent villager, the cult will risk your life and kill your lord." Seeing Orochimaru Osamu, who was focusing on human experiments, said, she felt that Danzo-sama was hiding something.

"Hehe..." Orochimaru looked very happy, "Of course it is." He said so and threw the newly recruited apprentice to himself on the grounds that he didn't have time.He has mastered the key to regeneration, the physical activation technique called curse seal.

Xiu looked at the stubborn red bean in front of him and remembered that when he was with Namikaze Minato before, he complained that Kakashi almost died in the forbidden forest. Although she was blocked by herself saying "I used to train like this", she did admit it I am not suitable for taking apprentices.

"Since you want to be with me, there is only one task for you in the future, to survive." Xiu Ru said.

Xiao Hongdou opened her eyes wide and nodded her head excitedly.

【Danzo-sama, Xiu has always kept your teachings in mind, and everything is for Konoha.Repair the blade of Konoha. 】

The more intense the war, the more famous Namikaze Minato Konoha Shining name, if he can live until the end of the war, he can realize that dream.Xiu looked at Minato, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, with emotion.

"Senior!" Minato was a little surprised, "I was a little worried, but since Senior Xiu is supporting me, it should be fine."

"Minato-kun is too modest. It is no problem to entrust you with a task of this level. It is safer to call me only at an important moment in the war. Of course, I will not act without special circumstances."

Namakaze Minato smiled embarrassedly and suddenly thought of something and said, "I haven't seen Senior Xiu laughing before." He said with a smile, "Like this...is there anything sad about it?"

Xiu seemed to be stunned by the question, and after thinking for a while, he said, "As Anbu, I have learned this kind of course before." She raised the corners of her mouth slightly as she spoke.

After hearing that, Minato seemed a little helpless: "It's not the ones who sneaked into the class... Sometimes a smile from the heart can make people feel safe." After speaking, he gave a thumbs up and showed his snow-white teeth, a little silly.

Is that so?It does seem to be more pleasant.Xiu thought this way: "If it can increase the success rate of the task, I will consider it."

"Hey, hey...Senior Xiu is really a rigorous person."

Yanyin Village sent more than a thousand ninjas, preparing to cross the grass ninja village to invade the border of the Fire Kingdom.At this time, the ninja identity above Namikaze Minato was ordered to destroy the Kannabi Bridge, the supply route of Iwanin.The purpose of this mission is to completely cut off the enemy's backup supply line, which has a major impact on the entire battle situation.

In order to carry out the mission effectively, Minato divided into two teams: Jonin Kakashi led his teammates Uchiha Obito and Xiaolin to the God of Destruction Bridge, and he and Xiu rushed to the front line to support his companions in the hard-fought battle. The attention was diverted so that Kakashi and the others could successfully carry out the task.

Xiu looked at Kakashi hesitantly. Although he really wanted to stay, if he hesitated, the casualties on the front line would suffer great losses.

"Xiu, I'm already a Jnin." Kakashi turned his head and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh? Then Minato and I will escort you to the border and we will act separately."

Kakashi muttered a few times angrily and finally compromised.I will definitely make my sister-in-law recognize my strength!

"Ah!" Obito fell down in front of Kakashi in a panic, "Have you caught up!"

"Of course not, you're late again." Kakashi looked down at Obito under his feet, "What time do you guys remember gathering?"

"I can't help it... On the way, I was dragged by an old lady who walked in a shady way to ask for directions." Obito said with a nonchalant expression.

"Guys who don't follow the rules and discipline will be called waste as ninjas, won't they?" Kakashi's voice was tinged with coldness.

"That's right, Kakashi." Xiu answered with satisfaction, self-discipline is very important for a ninja.

"Actually, I don't think you guys are talking about the same thing..." Minato sat aside and scratched his cheeks and said helplessly.

Lin sneered twice from the side: "Okay, we are all on the same team, so stop arguing... By the way, didn't we discuss it before, Obito, I want to give Kakashi a gift." She said and took out a Small package, "This is a special medical kit for personal use that I prepared, here it is, all of which have been improved for ease of use."

"Thank you." Kakashi accepted.

Minato also took out a kunai: "Here, a special kunai."

"Thank you."

Since Xiu didn't know it before, he could only think for a while and said, "I'll give it to you when I get back."

Obito blushed, and hurriedly added: "Me too!"

"Forget it, it's not a big deal, the things you gave are useless anyway," Kakashi turned around, "Useless things will only become a burden."

"... Seriously! It's incredible that someone like you can become a Jonin!"

"Okay." Exit Xiu interrupted the dispute between the two, "Let's get started, Kakashi will temporarily lead the team before arriving at the border."

Xiuwei squinted his eyes, looked at the chakra condensed in Kakashi's hand, and heard thousands of birds chirping, "You don't plan to rush directly, Kakashi..." Confirmed Kakashi With a firm look in her eyes, she stepped aside and blocked Namikaze Minato who was trying to stop him, "Let him go, after all, he is the captain, and nothing will happen if we are here."

Seeing Kakashi scurrying all over the field and Obito who was frightened and crying by the sudden appearance of Iwa Ninja, Xiu said with a bit of a headache: "Get ready, golden flash, just let me experience the teleportation technique."

Before the words were finished, Minato had disappeared in place, and Kakashi, who had been almost cut in half, fell back and landed beside Xiu. When the backpack fell to the ground and woke up the three little ghosts, the sound of throat slicing followed.

……

"Then...that's just tears from eyes that are fascinated by dust!"

"Do you know the 25th article of ninja experience? 'Ninjas must not shed tears'."

Xiu listened to the quarrel that broke out between the two, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his foot and kicked Obito, and then slammed on Kakashi's bent back when he avoided Obito flying towards him: "Shut up." See Seeing the startled three people, Xiu nodded in satisfaction.

"Kakashi, that technique is too immature, don't use it anymore." She looked at Kakashi's unconvinced eyes and said, "That technique does have considerable destructive power and speed, but the lines are too single, and you I can't grasp it, it's suitable for assassination, but the momentum is a bit too big."

Minato looked at Obito, who was rubbing his chest and gloating, frowned and said in a serious voice: "Obito, wearing goggles, it is impossible to be blinded by dust, the heart is too weak to survive on the battlefield Yes. Also, before we part, let me reiterate that the most important thing for a ninja is teamwork."

……

In the middle of the night, Xiu leaned against a nearby tree and closed her eyes to rest. The movement in her ears made her open her eyes and look towards Namikaze Minato, and the sound of the conversation came along with the wind.

"...I also know the importance of teamwork, but... that guy Kakashi doesn't look down on me at all. I also admit that Kakashi is very powerful, but..." Obito said sadly.

Namikaze Minato was silent for a while with a hint of memory and said: "Kakashi is the son of Mr. Hatake Sakumo, a genius ninja known as Konoha White Fang. It's normal to feel lost when you see you through your childhood."

"White Fang.. I've heard the name too. It's said that he was a hero who died protecting the village." Obito said in surprise, "That guy Kakashi never said that."

"People in the village, including Kakashi of course, all respect this great man," Minato continued after a pause, "until that incident happened..."

"event?"

"Maybe I shouldn't have said this on my own..."

"That's up to me." Xiu interrupted Minato's words and walked over slowly, "As Kakashi's teammate, it may be necessary for you to know."

"What happened?" Obito looked blankly at Xiu who was approaching.

Namikaze Minato stared at Shu's face, which was eighty percent similar to that of Hatake Sakumo, so it would be more appropriate for her to say this..

"Five years ago, when carrying out a secret mission, Nisan failed in order to save his partner, causing the village to suffer huge losses. In the end, he couldn't bear the accusations and slander from the villagers and his partner, and committed suicide." Xiu looked at the shocked Obito , "As Kakashi's only relative, I hope you can understand him, and he will become a little extreme after that. Kakashi has no malicious intentions, please."
