The next day, Naoto was woken up early in the morning
He was told to go to the Hokage Building
"Naoto-senpai."
There is Uchiha Shisui waiting at the door. This guy is two years younger than Naoto, so he calls him Naoto-senpai.
Although Naoto doesn't really like Shisui being called that!
After all, Shisui is a real Kage-level potential, a super genius who has activated the Mangekyō Sharingan. A younger brother like Naoto who only activated the dual Magatama Sharingan is really embarrassed to hear someone whose strength far exceeds his own. My senior.
"Let's go, let's go, don't keep Hokage-sama waiting too long."
After stretching, Naoto and Shisui quickly walked through the village and soon arrived at the Hokage Building.
The ANBU who had been prepared long ago ushered the two in and entered the Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage was sitting on an office chair looking at documents, and put them down after seeing the two people coming in.
If you don't count the Ninja School, this is the first time Naoto has seen the Third Hokage.
"Naoto and Shisui are both here, please sit down first."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Before the Uchiha rebelled, they still treated Naruto with great respect. Even the clan leader had to call him Hokage-sama, not to mention the new generation of ninjas like Shisui and Naoto.
"Naoto and Shisui, right? It's really enviable for Uchiha to have geniuses like you two."
Naoto's face turned slightly red. To be honest, the word genius has nothing to do with him. At Shisui's age, he already has a jounin or even a kage-level combat capability. His strength is only that of a special jounin...
This is thanks to the fact that his speed, strength, and chakra have increased to a certain extent after using the card. Otherwise, he would be an average chuunin now.
But he immediately replied, "Not only the Uchiha clan, we two are also ninjas of Konoha!"
No matter what, the attitude must be made clear immediately.
Naoto also echoed, "Senior is right, Uchiha is part of the village."
Not long ago, the clan had a lot of dissatisfaction with the village due to the election of the Fourth Hokage, and Shisui noticed it.
Knowing that this emotion would only bring destruction to Uchiha, he was also afraid that the two parties would deepen this dissatisfaction, so he wanted to adjust Uchiha's impression in the hearts of the Hokage in front of the Third Hokage.
Sure enough, after hearing what Naoto and Shisui said, the Third Hokage showed an obvious expression of astonishment, but soon smiled kindly, "It would be nice if there were more ninjas like you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise outside, and then a tall, white-haired man with red marks under his eyes and a forehead protector with the word "oil" written on his head opened the door and walked in.
There were two ninjas behind him who were about the same age as Shisui, and he knew these two, and it also surprised him. He didn't expect that the genin of the Hokage line would send this person.
The thick-browed Metkai, now a genin of Konoha, is an excellent taijutsu ninja. In the recent Third Ninja War, he was attacked by Kirigakure's Seven Swordsmen, but his father, Matt Dai, killed four of them on the spot with the Eight Gate Dungeon Needle.
The current Kai will never lose to his father in terms of physical skills. In addition, he has also practiced the Eight Gate Dungeon. Once it breaks out, even ordinary jounin will probably have to avoid his edge.
And the other one’s name is astonishing!
He has long white hair, a black mask, and his left eye is blocked by a forehead protector. All these features declare this person's identity.
Hatake Kakashi!
Shisui obviously knew Kakashi, so when he saw him he couldn't help but said in shock, "The Third Hokage! Isn't Kakashi-senpai a jounin?"
The corners of Naoto's mouth also twitched.
No matter what, Shisui is still a genin and adheres to the rules agreed with the Uchiha clan. But Kakashi, a guy who became a Jonin a year ago, can actually be sent out. I really underestimated how shameless you are!
But who knew that Kakashi just said lazily, "I am no longer a jounin."
? ?
Seeing the black question mark faces of Naoto and Shisui, the Third Hokage sighed deeply, "Because in the mission not long ago, Kakashi lost a very important companion. This all happened after he was promoted to Jonin." So Kakashi resigned as a jounin and wanted to start over as a chuunin, so that he could regain his fighting spirit."
?
Is there such an operation
There must be a limit to being shameless!
Naoto complained in his mind, but in reality he could only accept it.
What's more, Shisui is still here, Kakashi may not be Shisui's opponent...
etc!
Naoto was stunned
He's worried about a hammer
Anyway, the demonic energy will not be obtained by Konoha, no matter who he sends!
The Third Hokage smiled and said, "It seems that you all know each other. You will be teammates in the next mission. You must get along well."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Everyone responded one after another
Seeing that the Uchiha didn't seem to care much about the Jonin becoming a Chuunin, Jiraiya waved his hand impatiently and said
"Okay, okay, it's time to go." Then he turned into a serious look and said, "I can finally go out. I've been suffocating these past few days!"
… … … …
Outside a dark castle
The strong man was walking on the road leading to the door step by step, and finally stopped in front of the door.
"Is this your hiding place, Dio?"
He gently pushed the door open, and the sun's rays shone in along the door. Now the man in the center of the sun focused his eyes on a head hanging on the wall.
The moment he saw the head, his expression changed, because the face of the head was very familiar to him, so familiar that he had only seen it not long ago.
He was the former clerk of the tavern, but he didn't expect that the person who told him the information not long ago had now become a dead man with only his head left.
And there is a passage written in blood on the wall -
"Jojo, I knew you would definitely come after me. But now that I have discovered a new power, I no longer have time to play cat and mouse games with you..."
Looking at this cruel scene, the man froze. After a brief silence, he clenched his fists and shouted in a low voice, "Dior... It's only you that I will never forgive!"
boom!
He punched the wall, and the entire fist went in.
He took down the human head hanging on the wall and was about to cremate it when he suddenly heard a small movement. Being extremely sensitive to any small sound, he immediately turned his body to that side while tensing his body and mouthing He also asked in a low voice, "...Who is it?!"
No one responded…
The man who had not moved because he was worried about an ambush finally became a little impatient, so after a while of preparation, he walked towards the direction of the source of the sound.
After taking two steps, the man heard footsteps coming from the darkness. Just as he was getting ready to take action, he suddenly heard words coming from the darkness.
"Are you... human?"
