Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"It's so rare to see a senior, it's really hard to wait."

"I didn't expect anyone would be waiting."

Hearing the teasing in the words, Kakashi smiled bitterly and looked at the boy leaning against the wall.

If it were someone else, they would definitely add "You are indeed the hero of Konoha" at the end...

But Uchiha Itachi is not good at annoying people like this.

"Is it about Hizashi-senpai?" Itachi asked.

This is actually not difficult to guess at all.

I watched Kakashi walk into the Hyuga family from a distance. Considering his solitary personality, I thought this was the only thing that could be related to the Hyuga clan.

"Ah."

Kakashi nodded slightly, not intending to hide it.

After all, the part about Hinata Hizashi is not a secret. It is just a special mission assigned by the Third Generation.

It just concealed the part about Minato's mission and picked out the part given by the Third Generation.

It is just enough to clarify the whole process of recovering Hinata Hizashi from Kumogakure.

Walking side by side on Ichiraku-dori, the center of Konoha, Kakashi and Itachi chatted idly.

As I was talking, I started to complain without realizing it.

"As for self-blame, I think Kakashi-senpai doesn't need to have such thoughts."

"You should learn how to comfort others." Kakashi laughed.

This expression doesn't look comforting at all!

Itachi pondered and said, "In fact, I may know more about the situation that day than my predecessors..."

"That day?"

"The day Hizashi-senpai left Konoha."

Kakashi's eyes narrowed.

In other words, what happened in the village before he met Hyuga Hizashi?

Looking at the serious look on Itachi's face, Kakashi realized that he was not trying to comfort him.

"Anbu is an assassination tactical force directly dispatched by the Hokage. When there is no special mission, they will be responsible for the safety of the Hokage."

Itachi said calmly.

As a member of the Anbu, Kakashi would naturally not forget this.

"That day, when the Konoha high-level officials discussed with the Hyuga clan in the face of Kumogakure's difficulties, I was staying beside the Third Hokage as an Anbu..."

......

"Is it really okay to let this child in as well?"

"This is not your concern, Danzo." Sarutobi Hiruzen replied indifferently, looking back at the masked boy behind him.

Uchiha Itachi, at this age, is a member of the Anbu, so it would be better for him to temporarily take on the important task of being a bodyguard.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, Utane Koharu and Shimura Danzo, these four people are the Konoha high-level officials who hold the highest decision-making power.

On the other side, there were the elders and high-ranking officials of the Hyuga clan...

Konoha was troubled by the Kumogakure, which raised questions about the death of the envoy.

Because what he wanted was the body of the Hyuga clan leader!

"Given the current situation of the village, we are no longer allowed to continue the war with Kumogakure. In this case, I will..."

"Hiashi! The main family is the backbone of the Hyuga clan. I think you should be aware of this."

"But......"

There were three wars before, and then the Nine-Tails Rebellion caused the death of a large number of elite ninjas, and then the Cloud Village took advantage of the situation to provoke a war.

At this point, Konoha is already at the end of its strength.

And in the dark, there are still hidden creatures watching eagerly.

As the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi is very clear about the current situation.

However, the elders of the Hyuga family are stubborn and will never allow the main family to be sacrificed.

"Hiashi, what do you think?" The old man looked in another direction.

The middle-aged man beside him remained calm and said, "Everything is up to the elders."

The branch family exists to protect the main family.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Hinata Hizashi had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

"Is this really the only way?"

A voice came from the main seat.

Among the Hyuga clan, the old man turned around and said calmly: "This is the best way."

Just a few words are enough to convey the tacit understanding in decision-making.

With Hyuga Hizashi as a substitute for the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, he goes to Kumogakure to settle the trouble. While preserving the bloodline of the main family, he can also prevent the Byakugan from falling into the hands of the enemy and buy crucial rest time for the village.

This is the best option from a rational point of view that no one can refute.

"Wait! Elder, this is the only point I think is still..." Hinata Hiashi said gritting his teeth.

Do you want that person to die for you?

Letting his twin brother die for him...

'laugh!--'

There was a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen, and Hinata Hiashi's body swayed.

Just before he fell, he saw the man's cold face.

"I have a grudge against the Zong family. You owe me this punch."

"Hiashi, you..."

With the mastery of acupoints, this punch was delivered without holding back!

No matter what he did, he could never have imagined that the other party would attack him at this time.

You really still hate me...

The fate of a 'bird in a cage' is determined from birth.

This is a fate that no one can resist, even if one "benefits" from it.

"I know you feel guilty, but it's unnecessary, brother."

The voice gradually reached his ears. Hinata Hiashi clenched his teeth and forced himself to look up despite his blurred consciousness.

His vision was already gray, but he could still see the figure in front of him.

"I hope you understand that this time alone, it has nothing to do with the main family or the branch family.

"It's just that I still regard you as my brother, that's all."

......

This is Hizashi-senpai's own choice!

Kakashi pursed his lips and said nothing.

It's not fate...

This was more important than Kakashi could imagine at this moment.

"I once asked Brother Shisui what Konoha should do given the situation at the time."

Itachi said as a look of reminiscence flashed across his eyes.

He spoke so cryptically that after listening to him that day, I fell asleep due to exhaustion.

But I still remember that he didn't want me to go this far...

"At that time, I didn't understand what Shisui meant, but Hizashi-senpai gave me the answer."

......
