Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Under the night sky, the light from the bonfire looks particularly bright.

The air is filled with the tempting aroma of grilled fish...

Holding the grilled fish in one hand and the kettle in the other, he looked at the stream reflecting the moonlight and suddenly frowned.

"Shisui, how come the destination of this exercise is so far away from the village..."

Military exercises.

This has always been a unique assessment of the village elites.

The purpose is to examine the comprehensive qualities of a ninja.

It is for this reason that the subjects of the exercises are usually quite outstanding ninjas.

“After all, this time we have an extra tracking phase. Since we need to test our tracking capabilities, there is no way we can move further away from the village.

"The exercises arranged by the top leaders must have their reasons."

Generally speaking, military exercises rarely involve an area so far away from the village.

However, this all-round assessment of capabilities also reflects the importance that senior management attaches to it.

"Was it arranged by the village leaders..."

"Yes, I think it will probably be the Third-Hero. I have always been able to sense his concerns about the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, so he will pay more attention to me."

Shisui said with a smile.

'bite!--'

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the back of the rock.

It's a kunai!

"Itachi, the third phase of the exercise is about to begin."

Shisui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he put out the bonfire in front of him.

The light dimmed, and suddenly only the miserable moonlight remained.

The two looked at each other and slowly walked towards the direction of the sound.

The three-phase exercise will be an intense confrontation!

As the opponent of the newly promoted Jonin Shisui, I am afraid that he is no simple person!

Three figures gradually appeared under the moonlight...

Three figures wearing black cloaks that completely covered their bodies.

Two men and one woman?

The reason for doubt is that...

"why?"

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Shisui slowly drew out the long sword behind him.

There was a chill in the air.

"Why are you wearing masks?"

As an opponent in the assessment, even if he is a member of the ANBU, there is no need for him to come as an ANBU.

What's more, there is no need for this as an exercise!

"At this point, do you really think this is just a drill?"

"The genius of the Uchiha clan, Shisui, right? We are here to take your life..."

Take my life?

Third generation sir?

No, it's impossible.

What is it?

Shisui raised his hand to stop the boy beside him.

The content of this assessment is me, that is to say...

Their target is only me!

Is wearing a mask just to prevent his partner from remembering his face?

It seems that he is indeed someone from the village!

"Itachi, you step back first. Their target is only me..."

"Do not."

Itachi raised his hand and pulled out the long sword from behind.

The current situation is obvious...

This is an 'exercise' against 'Uchiha Shisui'.

but......

"I am Uchiha Itachi, and I will fight alongside Uchiha Shisui!"

......

-----------------

Being able to get the consensus of the Tsuchikage Ōnoki in advance when the relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha was tense and war could break out at any time.

It is no exaggeration to say that one person stopped the war.

Given the influence of those radical factions in Iwagakure, even bringing about "peace talks" would encounter numerous obstacles.

If left unchecked, the probability of a war between Iwagakure and Konoha is very high!

This trip seems to be of vital importance.

"Huh... finally out of this damn place."

Looking at the green dots appearing in front of him, Kakashi sighed secretly.

The Land of Earth is located in the rocky region of the northwest.

Compared to the Sand Village, it is actually closer to the border of the Land of Fire, but it is actually farther away from Konoha!

So in order to facilitate his journey, Kakashi simply chose to go to the Land of Water Trap, which is adjacent to the Land of Earth.

Otherwise, the long stretch of rocky terrain would not only be difficult to trek, but the road would also be more dangerous.

And it looks even worse than the desert in the Kingdom of Wind.

That is......

stream?

Looking ahead, a blue light appeared.

Kakashi's heart moved, and he walked forward slowly with heavy steps.

The probability of seeing a stream on the Iwagakure trail is almost the same as the probability of seeing an oasis in the desert...

It seems that we have reached the territory of Taki Country?

This way, we are not far from villages and towns where people live!

The Land of Taki is adjacent to the Land of Fire to the south, so it should not be difficult to get news about Konoha.

Yes.

Due to the war between Kumogakure and Konoha, Kakashi finally decided to return to Konoha for the time being...

By the way, take Rasa's souvenirs and the scroll given by Oonoki back to Konoha.

The importance of these two things is, at the moment, even higher than his life!

Conservatively speaking, bringing these two back to Konoha would definitely not be a wrong decision.

At this moment, a violent sound of breaking wind suddenly came.

this is......

The silver light that appeared in the corner of my eye suddenly enlarged.

"Kang! ——"

Seeing clearly what was coming, Kakashi took advantage of the gap and deflected the kunai.

A strong recoil force came from his wrist, causing him to take a few steps back.

However, Kakashi looked calm and unhurried, just glancing in one direction.

It's him......

A figure walked out from the shadows, followed by a dull sound that seemed to be suppressed by something.

"I thought you were going to Kumogakure, but it seems you changed your mind midway?

“Thank goodness I made careful arrangements, but after learning that you had deviated from your route, I had no choice but to come and intercept you in person.

"You really kept me waiting... Hatake Kakashi."

Looking at the hunched figure in front of him, Kakashi's eyes turned cold.

"You really are haunting me, Scorpio!"
