Second visit to Hokage

Hiruzen took off the Hokage's hat, put down the pipe in his hand, and sighed: "I do feel guilty about these two things, so I hope you can take proper care of those two teenagers in the future. However, for the sake of the village To achieve unity and stability, you must continue to keep these two secrets."

Tsunade took a deep breath to calm down her anger and replied tiredly, "I know."

On the other side, Yasuo and Sakura walked out of the Hokage's apartment side by side and came to the place where Team 7 had previously gathered. They were surprised to see Kakashi standing on the training stake, holding a small book in his right hand and reading with relish. .

"Kakashi-sensei, it's really rare that you are not late this time." Yasuo waved to Kakashi and said with a smile.

"After all, your first independent mission is successful, it is worth celebrating." Kakashi jumped in front of the two of them, noticed Yasuo's slightly purple right eye, and asked, "What's going on with you? Did someone beat him up?"

Sakura spread her hands and said, "It's not because Yasuo said something stupid in front of Tsunade-sama and was punched away."

Yasuo didn't refute, just scratched his head and chuckled, causing Sakura to look at him with caring eyes.

Kakashi laughed, shook his head, raised his voice and said, "Okay, I have the latest news about Sasuke, do you want to listen?"

Yasuo and Sakura instantly stood in the most standard posture, looking at him eagerly.

Kakashi revealed the answer: "Konoha recently issued a wanted order for Sasuke, classifying him as an A-level traitor."

Sakura had a frustrated look on her face, but Yasuo just asked calmly: "What else?"

Kakashi replied: "He and Itachi have occupied several of Orochimaru's strongholds, and gathered a group of subordinates to establish an organization called Eagle. In addition, I told Lord Hokage a few days ago that part of Sasuke's escape He promised not to interfere in the grudges between Sasuke and other high-level factions in Konoha."

Yasuo's eyes flashed and he continued to ask: "When will Konoha accept them back to the village?"

Kakashi said leisurely: "Then you need to gain a greater say. The Hokage alone does not have the final say in this village. If you want to convince the public, you can't do it without taking credit."

Yasuo nodded and said, "We will work hard to prove ourselves."

Sakura quickly agreed: "That's right."

Kakashi patted the two of them on the shoulders and said to Yasuo: "Another thing, when I went to the Hidden Rain Village to investigate a few days ago, I found that the entire village was covered by a huge illusion barrier."

Yasuo frowned and asked, "Was this barrier built recently?"

Kakashi understood what he was worried about and replied: "I made a special trip to ask Itachi, and he said that when he was in the Akatsuki organization, they had not built a similar barrier. I was not able to investigate deeply because the barrier was surrounded by There are numerous unmanned aerial vehicles deployed.”

"High-tech products"

"Well, some of the aircraft have chakra fluctuations, and the other part does not have any at all. It is estimated that they are purely technological products."

"How did the third generation of grandfathers cope?"

"Hokage-sama has sent ANBU members to monitor near the Hidden Rain Village to prevent them from launching a surprise attack."

“What is the attitude of other hidden villages?”

"Do you think they will believe Konoha's words? Even the jonins in the village were convinced by the Hokage-sama who spent a lot of effort."

Yasuo was silent for a while and said: "During the time when I went to practice at Mt. Myoboku, I left it to Master Kakashi to monitor the activities of the Akatsuki organization and other people."

Kakashi rubbed his blond hair and said: "I have other tasks in the ANBU, and I won't be able to fulfill them for you in a few days. You should practice well in Miaomu Mountain and don't cause trouble for those immortals, do you hear me? "

A trace of sadness flashed across Yasuo's face, but it was immediately replaced by a sunny smile: "Kakashi-sensei, you have to work hard too."

Kakashi patted his head, took a step back, and said to the two of them: "You guys should rest for a few days and prepare to attend the succession ceremony of the Fifth Hokage. I'll leave first." After that, his figure He disappeared in front of the two people in an instant.

"While you are away, I will try my best to help with matters in the village. Just practice with peace of mind." Sakura suddenly said to Yasuo.

Yasuo was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the girl's extremely solemn look, the expression on his face finally settled into a bright smile: "Yes. Thank you, Sakura."

Outside Konoha Village's Kamurigan Snack Shop, Yasuo was wearing casual clothes, sitting on a bench with his head lowered. He held a bag of yokan made of red bean paste, chestnuts and arrowroot powder in his right hand, and stuffed the yokan into his mouth piece by piece in his left hand. , if anyone saw his eyes at this time, they would be surprised to find that his pupils had elongated into a vertical line.

"Kiulama, have you eaten? Let's go to the next restaurant after eating." In the mental space, Yasuo raised his head and said to Jiuwei, who was as big as a tall building.

"Well, don't you hate sweets? Why are you suddenly so proactive this time?" Kyuubi tilted his head and asked curiously.

"I am going to Miaomu Mountain to practice this time. I don't know how long it will take. I may not have any sweets during this period. I have wronged you for a while, so you can consider this as a little compensation." Yasuo explained.

Kyuubi suddenly remembered that since Yasuo accidentally learned that he likes sweets when he was three years old, he would spend a small part of his monthly living expenses on sweets, and he would pretend to enjoy it in front of everyone. Even Kakashi thought that his favorite, besides ramen, was all kinds of desserts. Only in the spiritual space can he reveal his true preferences.

Kyuubi thought this in his heart, but replied: "Do you think you can compensate me with this? Do you know that I hate those toads who play tricks on me the most?"

"I'm sorry, Ninth Lama. You used to be free and unrestrained, but now you have to stay in my body and can't go anywhere. Whatever you want to eat or see, I will try my best to satisfy you in the future. . If you are really unhappy, just give me a good beating to vent your anger, but I have to go to Mt. Miaomu." Yasuo stood in front of Kyuubi and whispered.

The last soft but tough words made Kyuubi a little angry. He raised his front paws and slapped Yasuo down in the water. He slapped him hard with his tail, and soon he was covered with bruises. The latter closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and exposed his veins, silently enduring the burning pain caused by each blow. After the beating continued for five minutes, Yasuo didn't feel the next attack for a long time. He opened his eyes and asked weakly: "Are you angry anymore?"
