Vol 6 Chapter 44: Back to Konoha (2)
Itachi left the Konoha Police Department headquarters after talking with Zhishui again, but not long after he left, a crow flew over from the sky.
Seeing this, Itachi walked into a lonely alley and reached out to catch the crow.
At this time, the eyes of the crow suddenly appeared a pair of gouyu writing wheel eyes, and the next moment Itachi fell into the environment.
The head of the Masked Corps, who was responsible for Konoha's deepest defense force, appeared in front of him, and he nodded.
"Itachi, in a month, Konoha will send a team to the country of waves, you will be one of them, and your task is very simple, be optimistic about the hybrid called Yuan Zhisheng."
"Remember, it's just optimistic, you don't need to do anything, unless he encounters a fatal attack, even if he is kidnapped, he doesn't need assistance."
"At that time, you only need to keep an eye on Yuan Zhisheng's whereabouts and investigate the identity of the person who stole him."
Yuan Zhisheng? Itachi's impression of this person is based on what Sasuke said to him before, it seems that there is nothing special...
But since it was specially requested by the above, it must not be an ordinary mixed race...
Itachi is just an ordinary Jōnin on the surface, but in fact, the real combat power is even beyond that of ordinary shadows. With the combination of several blood-based boundaries, Itachi can handle any situation with ease.
The person who arranged for him to spy on him was definitely not ordinary.
He nodded flatly, and naturally took up this mission. Over the years, he has performed many Hokage secret missions, many of which are important and dangerous, and this time will be one of them.
After he made his statement, the environment was lifted, and the previous crow waved its wings and flew up, and soon disappeared from Itachi's sight.
………………
Naruto felt that he was back to normal and left the house.
He was going to the Hokage Building, which Kushina told him Hokage ordered when he just woke up.
Naruto doesn't like the current Hokage very much, because he thinks Orochimaru is always gloomy, and the way he looks at himself is very wrong. Those eyes don't seem to be looking at a child, but look at him with everyone outside. His eyes were similar, as if he was staring at a monster.
Naruto didn't like this look, but he didn't say it to others. After all, he was also Hokage, the most powerful person in Konoha.
So this time to see Orochimaru, he was not very active.
However, he didn't go far after entering the Hokage Building when he found Kakashi leaning against the side of the wall, as if waiting for someone.
He also saw Naruto's arrival, glanced at himself with dead fish eyes, and said lazily.
"You're so late, you're the only one left."
"Ah?" Naruto opened his mouth, then pointed at himself and said, "Don't you want to see me alone, Hokage-sama?"
"Of course not!" Kakashi stood up and walked towards a room with Naruto, saying at the same time
"At that time, several people who went to the country of waves were basically there, and you were the one who came last."
"Qi, you didn't tell me, I thought I was the only one." Naruto followed Kakashi and opened the door, and inside the door were Genji and Uchiha Sasuke sitting separately.
"Where's JOJO? Isn't he later than me!"
Finding that there was one less person than before, Naruto asked with a frown
"JOJO has his own affairs, and he will not participate in the next mission." Kakashi said casually, "Don't forget, he has already become a ninja, and he is different from you."
"He actually went on a mission again? He didn't tell me!"
Naruto touched his head, as JOJO had said to him several times before he went to perform a mission before leaving, but this time he left quietly.
"In fact, he left shortly after returning to Konoha with us." Kakashi raised his head with a hint of reminiscence in his tone.
"He may have received the most important information in his life, so that's why he's in such a hurry..."
"However, this has nothing to do with you. Besides, even if you want to help now, you don't have the strength."
"Not always."
"As you wish." Kakashi turned his head and looked at the two people in the room who were in deep thought. He asked Naruto to choose a seat to sit down, and then he leaned on the front chair.
Naruto picked a position beside Sasuke and asked in a low voice, "Sasuke, do you know why Hokage-sama called us here this time?"
Sasuke, who was in deep thought, raised his head, "How could I possibly know such a thing? Why didn't you ask Kakashi before?"
"I originally wanted to ask, but he sat down before he said it." Naruto also leaned on the chair and looked up at the sky.
He was not in a good mood when he heard Sasuke's words, but he didn't ask questions rashly because he knew about Sasuke's temperament.
At this time, the door was opened again, but this time it was not Hokage who entered, but an old man with gray hair in a black suit.
He didn't look like an old man at all, but instead his back was straight and his spirit was shining.
At this time, Genji and Kakashi almost stood up together, seeming to be surprised by the visitor.
To make these two people so respected... Could it be that this old grandfather is also a mixed-race, and a very powerful mixed-race?
Kakashi is the elite Jōnin in the village. According to his mother, he is the middle and high level of the village. The person who can make him stand up when he sees it is definitely not simple.
Naruto and Sasuke also stood up one after another, and at this time the old man laughed
"Sit down, don't be so excited. Kakashi, you are too, why are you still doing this when you are such a big person?"
He waved his hand, looking unassuming
Kakashi said in a relaxed manner, "I didn't expect you to come in person. It seems that I might be able to get a touch of it."
He is very familiar with the comer, Hilbert Jean Angers, this is the powerhouse who led him to fight before the Holy Master of the Demon Race had recovered. At that time, in the Land of Water, Angers' performance But it shocked him.
Especially later, he and Uesugoshi fought a way to survive, which made Kakashi still fresh in his memory.
They also met several times after that, such as the encounter on the sea and the trip to Cassel Manor...
"You can't help it, let's not talk about the two good seedlings that Zhisheng discovered, that's you, don't you have something to look for?" He chuckled, "I had something to do yesterday, but I can't see your side when I heard the news today. ."
"Let's put my affairs on next." Kakashi nodded. He was indeed looking for Angers yesterday, because this was what Jiraiya ordered when he sent them off.
Of course Kakashi can't forget.
"Um."
After hearing Kakashi's words, Ang Ge looked at Naruto and Sasuke who were standing, and said with an excited expression.
"It's really touching that the two of you can grow to such a level at this age. I announce that the two of you have successfully entered Kassel Academy and become full-fledged freshman students!"
"Really?! It's great!" Naruto jumped excitedly, which proved that he was recognized, and entering this university would make him stronger!
Although Sasuke was not as excited as Naruto, he could also see some emotional fluctuations.
Yesterday, he was played by Itachi's illusion in the palm of his hand, and it is a shame that he is still complacent in the illusion!
The thought of Itachi putting himself down with just one look made Sasuke feel that he is too weak. Now that he joins the Cassel Academy, he will be able to get better guidance, and maybe he will also be able to obtain a half-blood. strength.
Sasuke has realized that it is too difficult to defeat Itachi using conventional methods. Only other means can be used to overtake in a corner. Although the yaki fruit he ate shortened the gap for him, it was not enough. He still needed to become better. powerful!
This old man can make Kakashi so respected, and he should be a strong man who surpassed Shangnin. As long as he gets his teaching, he has full confidence to surpass Itachi!
"Of course it's true." Angers said solemnly after speaking, "My name is Hilbert Jean Angers, and I'm the headmaster of Kassel Academy, and before the official start of the school year, I was entrusted by you Hokage to do the job. You guys have a special training."
"Special training?!"
"That's right, because your trial mission has not actually been completed, but considering the situation in the country of waves, I allow you to be special. However, you must return to the country of waves after a month-long special training, and start anew. Complete the original mission. If you can't do it, then leave Cassel College, understand?!"
At the end, his tone gradually became severe.
"Understood!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly.
This was exactly what he wanted. Naruto never thought of coming back, but he was afraid that he would become a drag on Kakashi and Jiraiya, so he was unwilling to return to Konoha.
If you can become stronger after a month of special training, then it won't drag Kakashi-sensei and the old man back!
Sasuke and Genji also nodded, and they were also looking forward to this special training.
Even Kakashi wanted to give him a hand, although he already had a direction for his own cultivation, but seeing Angers' training method might bring him some new ideas.
The current Kakashi is not the same as the original. After experiencing the death of his father, Obito and Lin, Kakashi in the original became depressed, even lost his fighting spirit, and wasted a lot of time.
And now Kakashi knows a lot of things. Although Orochimaru did not tell Kakashi that the masked man is Obito, Kakashi himself knows that Lin is actually still alive in this world, and for the masked man, he In fact, he also has his own guesses in his heart. After he awakened the divine power, there are actually many things that are not difficult to guess.
In the past ten years, he has thought about many things, and it is precisely because of this that Kakashi has not given up his practice.
Maybe only if he is stronger, he can understand what happened in the first place!
Seeing their reaction, Angers couldn't help but smile, and he coughed lightly, "That's good, the special training will officially start tomorrow, you gather at Konoha's forty-four training ground, and I will conduct a month-long devil training for you. train!"
"Yes!"
………………
After Naruto and Sasuke left happily, Yuan Zhisheng also returned to the place where the hybrids currently lived. Only Kakashi and Anger were left in the previous room.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Angers asked casually
Kakashi thought about how to organize the language, and then slowly said, "Do you know anything about the organization of the Demons?"
... Angers was a little stagnant when he heard the name, as if thinking, and finally just shook his head
"I'm sorry, but I've never heard of an organization called the Demons."
"Really..." Kakashi was not disappointed, but continued, "I heard from Lord Jiraiya, that organization seems to be eyeing Yuan Zhisheng, and sent people to ambush before they converged. he."
"Oh?" Angie made a look of interest. "This is the first time for a young boy to come to the ninja world. Someone actually set his sights on him? This is very interesting."
"Yes, that's why I feel something is wrong." Kakashi analyzed, "Since Yuan Zhisheng is a newcomer to the ninja world, it stands to reason that no pure ninja has heard of him, let alone no one. I will stare at him and start actions. But since the other party has done this, it can only show that the other party has some understanding of Yuan Zhisheng or the mixed race, so I will ask you if you know the ghosts."
"You can't find anything from a name alone Angers smiled faintly." For example, you can also set up an organization called Ghosts, and my Kassel Academy can also call itself a ghost Congregation, the name is just a code name, it can also be a means of fraud, it does not matter. "
He chuckled, "It's the people that matter, the core members of this organization. I've never heard the name of this organization, but there may be some of my old acquaintances among the members of this organization."
"...It is indeed possible."
Kakashi said with a bit of a headache, if Angers is right, the country of the wave will involve mixed races again. It's really troublesome to think about it.
"I originally intended to go to the Land of Waves, but now hearing what you said has strengthened my heart to make this decision."
Angers sighed softly, "Since someone is eyeing my students, then I, the principal, can't stay at home, right?"
Kakashi nodded in agreement
He still had some understanding of Angers' temperament, and knew that he was completely different from ordinary old people. He was more like a young man who was strong and full of energy and was always ready to use a knife. Such a person would never allow himself suffer.
"Master Hokage is also planning to send a team to support Master Jiraiya. If you can help me again, it can be said to be foolproof."
"It's foolproof?" Angers couldn't help smiling when he heard this, then turned around and said without looking back.
"There is no foolproof thing in this world. No matter how well you plan and prepare, a little bit of unplanned trouble may make it fall short."
"So, in the end, it is inevitable that knife to knife, blood sees blood..."
