"This guy should be Kirigakure's elite chuunin."
The man who squatted down quickly inspected the body. A strange color flashed in his eyes. He turned to look at his companion and said, "It's only been less than a minute since you sensed the battle here?!"
"Um… "
The perceptive ninja frowned and said: "The elite scout who can kill Kirigakure Village in such a short time should be the Jonin in our village, but I have no impression of that aura, and he left after killing Kirigakure's ninjas. Did it fall? It doesn’t seem like it intends to meet us.”
The ninja who squatted down to examine the body also had a look on his face, but then he was suddenly startled and stared at Lin Qinyu Yuya's head wound carefully, with a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. Said: "This wound..."
"What's wrong?"
Both companions looked over.
The ANBU ninja who inspected the corpse hesitated for a few seconds before saying with some uncertainty: "I have seen this kind of wound before... It should be the scar left by Sakumo-sama's sword skills."
"impossible!"
"Sakumo-sama already... two years ago..."
The two ANBU ninjas next to him had almost the same reaction.
The ninja who checked the body was also a little unbelievable. He checked it carefully a few times before saying: "Such an injury was definitely caused by Sakumo-sama's sword skills, but it should not be Sakumo-sama's handiwork. Otherwise, together with this forehead protector, They should all be cut off.”
Upon hearing this judgment, several ANBU ninjas looked at each other.
The Hatake sword technique is a secret technique that is not passed down to the Hatake family. Just like the shadow secret technique of the Nara clan and the spiritual secret technique of the Yamanaka clan, only a handful of people can use it since the death of Hatake Sakumo.
"... Sort it out and report it to Hokage-sama."
"good."
After several ANBU ninjas made their judgment, they quickly returned to the village.
The death of a scout from an enemy village was not a big deal in such a tense situation, and it would not wake up Hiruzen Sarutobi in the middle of the night. So it was not until the next morning that Hiruzen Sarutobi came to the Hokage's office. I learned what happened last night.
"The elite scout of Kirigakure Village died under Hatake's sword technique, and the battle lasted no more than a minute?"
After hearing the ANBU's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised for a moment.
To be able to sneak into the vicinity of Konoha, the elite scouts of Kirigakure Village must be at least an elite chuunin, and to kill an elite chuunin within one minute, at least a jounin must be able to do it, but the problem is that Konoha There should be no jounin who can use Hatake Tojutsu now.
"Could it be him?"
Kakashi's figure flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.
My heart was shocked for a moment.
Killing a Kirigakure scout in one minute... When did Kakashi grow to this level? He is not even eight years old now!
Although I couldn't believe it, after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't find anyone else who met the conditions. This made Sarutobi Hiruzen take a breath and said: "Where's Kakashi? Come over to him. I have something to ask him. .”
"yes."
The ANBU next to him responded and quickly disappeared.
After a while.
Kakashi appeared outside the Hokage's office. After walking in, he said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hokage-sama, you are looking for me."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, walked to Kakashi, looked at Kakashi's kind smile, and said with admiration in his eyes: "You have made great progress in your practice recently. I didn't expect you to be so good at this age. To be able to master Sakumo’s sword skills to this extent.”
"?"
Kakashi was startled.
Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said, "Seeing you is like seeing Sakumo in his youth... Do you have nothing to report to me?"
Kakashi looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Hokage-sama, what are you referring to?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly surprised, then smiled again.
Unexpectedly, the young and energetic Kakashi also learned to hide himself. It seems that he has finally grown up. Maybe it won’t be long before Kakashi can truly take on the responsibility of a Jonin. If he had known this, there would be no need to let him. Minato came to teach Kakashi.
Snap!
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand and threw a forehead protector towards Kakashi.
Kakashi reached out to catch it, and saw that it was a forehead protector from the Hidden Mist Village. There was residual blood on the top of the forehead protector, and there was a white line in the center, as if it had been cut by some sharp blade.
Inexplicably, Sarutobi Hiruzen threw him a forehead protector. Kakashi became even more puzzled. He fell into a state of confusion and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"...haven't remembered yet?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
It's a good thing to know how to hide oneself, but now that he knows it, what we should do now is to report the specific situation to him, the Hokage.
After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Kakashi's thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind, but he really couldn't remember anything related to this forehead protector. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but said: "Hokage-sama, what exactly is this forehead protector?" …”
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Kakashi would have to hide it, so he said calmly: "You should explain to me the specific situation of the battle last night."
"Last night?"
Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with a serious look: "Hokage-sama, I was at home last night and didn't experience any battle..."
Chapter 16 Sarutobi Hiruzen's shock
At this moment, Kakashi immediately thought that someone had disguised himself as him, sneaked into the village, and done something.
This kind of thing is undoubtedly very serious, but he is not panicked because he is indeed at home all the time. Even if something happens, it can completely withstand investigation.
"always home?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused while holding the teacup, and looked at Kakashi in surprise, feeling that Kakashi was not pretending to be stupid.
After being stunned for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a gesture, and an ANBU ninja quickly appeared in the office. He turned to look at the ANBU and said solemnly:
"Call the patrol team over and report on last night's patrol."
"yes."
The ANBU ninja quickly disappeared.
After a while, several masked ANBU appeared in the office and reported.
Kakashi had a conversation with the reporting ANBU ninja from time to time. After some comparisons, it was confirmed that he had not left home last night.
After confirming that Kirigakure's scout was not killed by Kakashi, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a confused look. He pondered carefully and did not remember that Hatake Sakumo taught Hatake sword skills to anyone else. .
"Kakashi, has Sakumo taken on any disciples before and taught him sword skills?"
"Not sure."
Kakashi shook his head.
Hatake Sakumo was once the captain of Konoha's Anbu and the frontline commander of the Second Ninja War. Normally, he would rarely communicate with him about these aspects.
Kakashi said doubtfully: "... Hokage-sama, what happened?"
“…”
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and briefly explained what happened before.
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's description, Kakashi was slightly startled at first, but soon thought of something, opened his eyes slightly, and opened his mouth slightly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed Kakashi's expression and said, "What did you think of?"
"That... um..."
Kakashi was hesitant. He had already guessed that it was probably Fengye who did it, and he hesitated whether to explain.
Seeing that Kakashi clearly knew something, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said, "Report to me carefully what you know."
Kakashi thought that Fengye didn't tell him about this matter yesterday, and maybe he didn't intend to let him help hide it, so he said: "If that's the case, maybe I know who did it."
"who?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kakashi.
"...my brother Fengye."
Kakashi replied quietly, silently thinking that it was none of his business.
Hearing Kakashi's response, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, and said with some astonishment: "Who are you talking about?"
Kakashi repeated silently.
Hearing this answer, not only Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also an ANBU captain standing beside the office and a jounin who wanted to report the matter showed some astonishment.
"...Fengye?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kakashi in astonishment and said, "Are you sure? Kakashi, that is Kirigakure's elite scout, and the battle ended within one minute."
Now that Feng Ye has been sold, Kakashi simply said: "Although I don't know the specific battle process, it is indeed possible for him to do that kind of thing. My brother has always been stronger than me."
cough! !
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help coughing and sat down.
In this case, it should be impossible for Kakashi to lie, because lying is meaningless. Just call Fengye over for a simple verification, but he will need some time to accept this information.
Kaede Ye... is stronger than Kakashi? !
It is normal for the elder brother to be stronger than the younger brother, but when it comes to Feng Ye and Kakashi, it is an extraordinary thing!
You must know that Kakashi is a rare genius in Konoha for many years, just like Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo in his youth!
If all this is true, it means that Kaple Night, an eight-year-old boy, killed an elite chuunin of Kirigakure Village in one minute, and his talent may be even higher than Kakashi!
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe, took a deep drag on the cigarette, and after exhaling the smoke, he said: "Go and ask Feng Ye to come over."
"yes."
An ANBU responded and disappeared in a whoosh.
…
Ninja school.
Today is the last day before final exams.
Feng Ye's class was gathering on the playground at the moment, forming a team. In an open space in front of everyone, two students were fighting fiercely.
Ding ding dong dong! !
The kunai kept interlacing, accompanied by crisp sounds and sparks flying.
"Ahhhh..."
Uchiha Obito screamed with all his strength, and slammed down the kunai in his hand, forcing his opponent to step back with his strength, and then threw the kunai in his hand, forcing the opponent to take another step back.
Then he quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
This time the ninjutsu did not fail, but was successfully released. The huge fireball blasted forward in an instant, making the student look horrified and almost unable to avoid it.
Whoosh!
When the Chuunin teacher saw this, his figure flashed and he quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Water escape! Water formation wall!"
Wow!
The water flow surged up and collided with the high fire ball, making a sizzling sound, covering up and extinguishing the high fire ball released by Uchiha Obito.
After extinguishing the Go fireball, the chuunin teacher exhaled, stood up straight, and announced directly: "Uchiha Obito wins."
"Oooo!!!"
Uchiha Obito shouted with great excitement.
There was no shame this time.
When he looked back, he saw Nohara Lin applauding him along with other students. He suddenly felt satisfied and raised his chin at Fengye while returning to the crowd.
Fengye did not respond to Obito's provocation. Instead, he stood there calmly and clapped his hands. His eyes were a little deep and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Fengye, are you in a bad mood?"
Yuhi Hong noticed Feng Ye's strange state very early on. After the applause ended, she couldn't help but ask Feng Ye in a low voice.
"without."
Feng Ye shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking about something..."
