Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

The Bird Kingdom is located on the shore of a lake where migratory birds live.

The lakeside is full of lush greenery.

'Green trees and lush vines, with nets swaying and winding,' it is undoubtedly a country with pleasant scenery, far away from war and in a safe corner.

And on the border with Iwagakure, the two sides are clearly divided.

The boundary marker represents the national border. On one side are lush green forests and vegetation, while on the other side are dry and rugged mountains...

It seems that there is no need for boundary markers at all.

Just with the naked eye, one can clearly see that this is the border between the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Earth!

After passing the smooth road of Bird Country, we still have to face the rugged mountain road of Iwagakure...

but.

The Land of Earth is right before our eyes, so how far can the Iwagakure Village be?

Kakashi took a deep breath.

Then he gathered all his strength and rushed towards the mountain road.

As soon as possible!

Delivering the letter to Ohnoki of Iwagakure is the best way to ease the relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha.

If Konoha were to face the simultaneous hostility of the two powerful villages of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, it would be difficult for Konoha to cope with it...

Ok?

Kakashi thought in his mind and walked quickly.

Soon I noticed the corner of the mountain road.

An old man was carrying a bamboo basket on his back and walking up slowly and steadily.

The fiery hair, the purple outfit, and the strangely shaped helmet...

Given the harsh environment of the Land of Earth, how could we actually see people on such a border, apart from the Iwagakure Village?

"Young man...where are you from?"

After passing by the other person, I suddenly heard a dull voice.

Kakashi frowned and turned back to look at the solemn old man carrying a bamboo basket on his back, and replied concisely:

"Konoha."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored the other person's changing expression, raised his feet, and quickly flew away.

It is rare to meet a living person in such a remote place!

Kakashi became a little wary.

Not far away is the bird kingdom with a pleasant climate, which is obviously a suitable place to live.

And if he is from Iwagakure, considering his age, he should live in Iwagakure Village.

There is no reason to be in this place anyway.

Carrying the bamboo basket makes it look like he lives nearby.

All of them reveal abnormalities...

In order to avoid any unexpected events, Kakashi chose not to show his kindness indiscriminately.

Fortunately, until the two of them were apart, the other party did not show any unusual behavior.

It seems that I am overthinking it?

Traveling day and night always makes people nervous.

Kakashi shook his head and smiled, then continued forward.

"Hatake Kakashi? I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

A faint whisper fell into my ears.

Then came the sound of a sharp wind.

A black figure fell from the high cliff beside him!

Two long curved swords extended from the fluttering long sleeves, emitting a cold and chilling light!

Got attacked...

The fighting instinct quickly took over the body, and he almost subconsciously pushed away the forehead protector.

The figure in front of him gradually became clearer and slower, and even the strange light on the blade came into view.

That's...poison!

Kakashi's eyes flickered.

Never let the other party scratch you!

Without thinking any more, he quickly jumped sideways and barely avoided the attack.

The next moment, the two blades tore into the ground, digging up streaks of gravel.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, two deep and intersecting ravines appeared in the air.

"Who are you? Why are you......"

Looking at the figure that appeared in the air, Kakashi covered his mouth and nose and shouted coldly.

The other party knows his name.

There is no doubt that he was being targeted!

But the task assigned by Minato-sensei was clearly confidential.

However, before he finished speaking, he noticed that the other person's entire body...

Completely floating in the air!

This scene seems familiar!

The other party is not a human...

But a puppet!

Having fought against the strongest puppeteer of the Wind Country several times, it is not difficult to judge this.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time!

"But I think this will be the last time we meet..."

Kakashi looked up when he heard the voice.

On the steep cliff, a red-haired man was grinning.

There were a few blood-red clouds embroidered on the black robe.

"My name is 'Scorpion', I slaughtered countless villages in the sea of ​​sand...

"'Red Sand Scorpion'!"
