Konoha's Way of Death

Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

Two years have passed by and Ruoren is now eight years old.

Standing on a tree at the edge of the forest, holding on to the tree trunk with one hand and touching the long sword on his back with the other, he stared into the distance.

After a long time, there was a sound behind him.

"How's it going."

"everything is normal."

If the person answers, then he turns around and looks at the person behind him.

Kakashi was as before, his eyelids drooped as if he had no energy, and wearing a mask made him feel either shy or ugly.

However, anyone who dares to despise such a guy must pay a price.

Because someone has already tested his strength with his life.

Two years after the serious injury, including that year, they have been guarding the border for three years.

The two of them went from being little kids who could be called children to being little kids who should be called teenagers.

However, these two idiots have been chuunin for two years.

In the past two years, they have continued to increase their ninja experience, including information collection, analysis, and combat.

Of course it also includes chakra and ninjutsu.

Their master and father is Hatake Sakumo. Even though he is very busy, he can still manage to take two days a month to guide them.

After all, the border was once again settled after that attack.

In normal times, they are led by Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Maruboshi Kosuke on their missions, and of course they also provide guidance on their practice.

Kosuke Maruboshi has decades of experience as a ninja, coupled with his understanding of kendo and ninjutsu, his guidance has allowed the two to continuously improve their strength.

As for Shinnosuke, his main role is just as a sparring partner.

After all, under the conditions of Maruhoshi Kosuke, he can only have this effect.

At first, Shinnosuke was very unhappy about being used as a sparring partner, but every time Wakato glared at him and said to him: "You are only so useful. You were killed back then, and Kakashi and I didn't last long."

As soon as these words came out, Shinnosuke had no way to refute, so he became angry and hit hard every time he practiced fighting, and many times the two of them were beaten into pig heads.

Of course, being a frontier, they will encounter many enemies.

Rebel ninjas, wandering ninjas, bandits and even refugees.

In two years, they fought more than ten times, large and small.

At the beginning, Shinnosuke and Kosuke Maruboshi would take action, but later they would directly raid the formation from the side. The main battle was completed by Kakashi and Wakato.

Therefore, their combat experience is becoming more and more abundant.

Kakashi came to Wakato's side and stood with Wakato on the tree for a long time.

It wasn't until a long time later that Kakashi said, "It's almost time, it's time to go back."

Wakato nodded, then turned and left with Kakashi.

It was still the small river. Maruhoshi Kosuke looked at the two returning with a smile and said: "We are back, let's start eating."

Ruoren glanced around and asked, "Where's the captain?"

"At this."

As soon as Jorge finished speaking about Cao Cao and Cao Cao's arrival, Shinnosuke jumped over the river and came over.

Kosuke Maruboshi filled the soup and the four of them started eating.

"I'm about to leave."

Suddenly, Kakashi sighed.

Gu Jie also nodded with emotion: "Yes."

Then he turned to Shinnosuke and asked: "Captain, are you really not going back with us? I remember you haven't gone back even once in the past two years, right?"

Shinnosuke shook his head and said, "If I don't go back, my dad will definitely not let me out so easily again after I go back."

After hearing this, Ruoren looked at him with a smile and said nothing.

Everyone has different choices.

Sarutobi Hiruzen may have wanted to train him to become Hokage, but it's a pity that this guy didn't have that ambition.

Regarding the road underfoot, when a ninja has determined the way of ninja, he will not be persuaded by others at will.

Even if that person is one's closest relative.

After eating, he packed his things and looked at the river.

From the beginning to now, three years later, they have relied on the old man’s cooking skills countless times to eat here, and they have been given guidance countless times.

Now I finally have to go back, to the wood industry, maybe I will never come here again.

"Let's go."

Shinnosuke shouted before heading towards the camp.

"Yes!"

Several people responded and chased after him.

Back at the camp, except for Shinnosuke, the three of them started to pack their things.

In fact, there was nothing to pack. After all, they came here to guard the border rather than travel, and even they only had two or three sets of clothing.

Just then, there was a noise outside the tent.

Wakato and Kakashi looked at each other and then walked out.

"I remember it was Lord Orochimaru, right?" Kakashi said.

Ruoren nodded and said, "Yes, they should be here now."

Ever since the Amegakure rebel ninja launched the attack two years ago, and the so-called Sunagakure rebel ninja invaded here, Konoha has spent a lot of money on this border between the three countries.

If Hatake Sakumo chose to come here to avoid Konoha, then Orochimaru's arrival is enough to show that the village attaches great importance to this place.

Sure enough, when they came to the field, people had gathered around them. Leng Lord Orochimaru was different from the image of a humble gentleman in Konoha who was dressed in a kimono. At this moment, he was wearing a Konoha vest, and his expressionless face was full of murderous intent.

This is not aimed at anyone, but the environment he is in is different. In the village, he can do whatever he wants, but starting from tomorrow, he will be the person in charge of the border.

Hatake Sakumo took the lead in greeting him. When he saw Orochimaru arriving, he nodded slightly and said: "All the materials have been prepared and placed in the big tent. From tomorrow on, this place will be handed over to you. Just take a rest today. Bar."

"Yes, thank you Sakumo-senpai, please excuse me."

Orochimaru bowed slightly and thanked him.

Hatake Sakumo nodded, and then asked people to arrange the new ninjas into the tent.

"Ah, it's just like when we came."

Kakashi was still feeling nostalgic, and Wakato patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go."

"Ok?"

Kakashi followed Wakato in confusion and said, "What's wrong? Where are you going?"

"Take you to meet someone."

After taking Kakashi to find three tents, Wakato finally saw an acquaintance.

"Hey, Wakato, and it must be Kakashi-kun."

Namikaze Minato turned around and greeted them with a warm smile.

"It turns out to be Minato-senpai, hello."

This was not the first time Kakashi met Namikaze Minato, but he couldn't be called familiar, so he greeted him politely.

As for Ruo Ren, he asked directly: "Hey, Senior Minato, are you just here to perform a mission, or are you coming directly to guard?"

"Fortify."

Minato smiled and said: "I found a way to fly the Thunder God, but there are too many trivial matters in the village, so I directly asked for permission to come here."

Ruoren curled his lips and said, "Then Kushina must be very angry."

"Ah haha." Minato smiled awkwardly, recalling that when he told the girl that he would come to guard the border, she was very angry and almost got beaten.

So he could only say: "So I have to ask Ruoren to help take care of her."

Ruoren glanced at him with disdain and said, "Please, if you want me, an eight-year-old kid, to take care of you adults, it's a shame you can speak out."

Then he waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I will often find Kushina or take Eriki to accompany him after I go back."

"Thank you, Ruo Ren." Minato smiled.

"That's it, goodbye."

Wakato waved his hand and walked outside, Kakashi followed after saying goodbye. ,

Early the next morning, Wakato and other ninjas who were going to return to Konoha gathered early. Half an hour later, the handover between Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi was completed.

Hatake Sakumo glanced at everyone, then waved his hand: "Let's go!"
