Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

As the chief of the Anbu branch's interrogation department, Morino Ibiki is usually only responsible for missions in Konoha.

But this time it was different.

It is said that the group of Kirigakure ninjas in pursuit are carrying extremely important information, and their leader needs to be responsible for it so that after interrogating them to obtain the information, they can bring it back more flexibly.

As for how many people will survive in the end, this is not taken into consideration.

At this juncture when the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure is ambiguous, it is definitely not a wise behavior to rush there rashly. The purpose of coming to Ibiki is to find out the direction in advance.

"You mean, that Kirigakure Anbu killed all the Kirigakure Anbu members with his own hands, and finally jumped off a cliff to end his life?" Kakashi said thoughtfully.

Although my impression of Kirigakure is still stuck in the past, it is said that the blood mist policy was abolished a few years ago...

"'My mission is to kill my companions,' that's what the man said," Ibiki explained.

Ibiki told the Kirigakure group everything he saw, but the one he couldn't avoid the most was the culprit who caused the mission to fail.

Kakashi suddenly remembered.

The Kirigakure high-level officials can give orders to kill their companions, and the executors of the mission will not resist. To achieve the goal by any means necessary, this kind of behavior logic seems to be exactly the same as the "Root"?

“The ‘blood mist’ has dissipated, but that doesn’t mean it never existed.

"Those ninjas who grew up under the Blood Mist system still retain their old behavior habits. In their eyes, killing their companions may not be a big deal."

That's the truth.

The most frightening thing is to get used to it. It seems that the influence of the 'Village of Blood Mist' on Kirigakure is more profound than imagined, and it cannot be changed overnight.

"If Konoha wants to form an alliance or cooperate with Kirigakure in the future, I'm afraid they will have to think twice before doing so."

"Yeah...I'll keep an eye on it."

Kakashi was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.

He does not mean that.

Although Minato-sensei gave the instruction at that time, he ultimately cooperated with her in his own name.

So is what she said at that time really trustworthy?

......

"If your purpose is just to come to Kirigakure to find out the truth, then you should never get involved in other matters." The girl said slowly, holding onto the table.

After saying this, he held his chin with one hand and glanced in the other direction.

It's obvious what 'something else' refers to.

Kakashi turned his head and looked to the side. On the bed next to the window frame was a woman who was unconscious and covered with a thin blanket.

If this is really a deal between the top leaders of Sand Village and Kirigakure, then it is really not easy to interfere...

"Since you've gotten involved and caused such a big commotion, this is going to be difficult to deal with."

Mei Terumi rubbed her forehead, her eyes showing resentment, and it can be seen that she meant "You really cause me a lot of trouble."

"The war has just ended. Kirigakure does not want to be an enemy of Konoha. I think Konoha should do the same."

It was a common understanding to cease fire in order to rest and recuperate.

"But once the news that 'there are Konoha ninjas and Sand Village ninjas sneaking into Kirigakure' is made public, no one can do anything about it, even if they don't want to be enemies."

Mei Terumi shook her head helplessly.

This is a matter of great national pride, and they must give an explanation to the intruders no matter what. But if they really succeed, will Konoha let it go, not to mention Sand Village?

Hatake Kakashi...He is the only student of the Fourth Hokage now!

This is the most troublesome part.

No matter how slow-witted Kakashi was, he had to understand Mei Terumi's intention of 'protecting' the two of them at this moment.

To avoid escalating conflicts...

Once the relationship breaks out, no one will be able to save face and war may break out immediately!

"So, I can let you go as long as you promise one thing. With your ability as the only disciple of the Fourth Hokage, you can try your best to promote the alliance between Konoha and Kirigakure after you go back... You can play a role, right?

"With my influence around the elder master, I will do my best. If I succeed, it will benefit Konoha or Kirigakure immensely."

After a pause, Mei Terumi added: "Of course you want to live. I guess you have no choice. How about that?"

After saying that, she stretched out her hand and held it in the air, looking relaxed, not worried at all that he would refuse.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Kakashi gritted his teeth and shook it.

The cool and smooth touch on the palm of my hand is difficult to hold firmly, and it seems that it will slip away if you are not careful.

"You don't look happy."

Mei Terumi pursed her lips and smiled.

“I have to be frank about one thing.

"Cooperating with the Kirigakure Ninja is not a small risk. You'd better be careful, Hatake Kakashi. You never know when I might stab you in the back..."
