Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Chapter 6 The Lost Genius

ANBU, whose full name is Assassination Tactics Special Forces, was established by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and is a spy organization directly under the Hokage.

The members of the Anbu are all outstanding ninjas selected from the village. Their main task is to protect the Hokage and prevent foreign enemies from invading the Konoha Ninja Village. Sometimes they are also responsible for tasks such as reconnaissance and assassination. Its members wear white masks that imitate animals when they are on duty. The nature of the mission and all other information are kept confidential.

The existence of the Anbu is open and aboveboard, but its members are hidden in the dark.

Kakashi stood in front of a building and glanced at the word "Dark" marked on the building in front of him.

Is Minato-sensei trying to cheer me up?

Just happened to finish reading this book.

He casually pulled out a handful of black book covers from his arms, threw them into the trash can at the door, and then slowly walked into the building in front of him.

'How a Ninja Should Die'.

A few crooked and eye-catching fonts fell into the overfilled trash can.

The slow, orderly and crisp footsteps echoed in the corridor, and the dim lights along the way created a depressing atmosphere.

An ordinary person would undoubtedly feel uncomfortable in such a depressing atmosphere.

Fortunately, Kakashi did not feel at a loss about this.

Equipment Department.

One room has a conspicuous fluorescent sign.

The window next to it is shaped like a prison bar.

The silver-haired boy folded his arms across his chest, leaning silently against the door.

"Here's your full set."

A dull voice sounded.

Kakashi looked up when he heard the voice, and a figure wearing a strange white mask quietly emerged in the window beside him.

He was wearing a grey vest, with bare arms, and a red 'Konoha' mark on his shoulder, clinging to his tight muscles. It was obvious at first glance that he was not the type to be easily dealt with.

An opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Kakashi commented to himself.

Obviously, those who can become Anbu members directly under the Hokage undoubtedly possess extremely strong abilities.

This is true even if it's just an ANBU member who is receiving and distributing equipment.

After just a glance, Kakashi shifted his gaze to the plate sticking out from under the window.

On it is a white mask shaped like a cat, a standard long sword, and a standard gray vest unique to the Anbu members.

And...a dark red leather scroll.

Kakashi raised his eyebrows and said to the man concisely: "Thank you."

Then, holding a set of equipment, he turned around and suddenly heard the Anbu behind him say.

"Your size is hard to find."

"This is specially made for you. It's Anbu equipment. The material is much more valuable. Don't waste it."

Kakashi turned around and looked at the man deeply, then nodded.

"I will."

......

Until Kakashi's thin back disappeared in the Anbu building, the burly figure was still standing in front of the window.

"As expected of White Fang's son..."

The low whisper seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet environment.

A recognized genius...

It's even more depressing than those children who have been brought up in the "roots" since childhood.

"But I seem to be lost..."

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

The nights in Konoha are not that noisy these days.

There were only a few small shops here and there with sparse lights on, but few pedestrians to be seen.

Perhaps this village has not yet fully recovered from the pain of war.

Along the way, Kakashi was thinking absentmindedly.

Ever since he killed Lin with Chidori during the battle with Kirigakure...

Strange memories always pop up in my mind for no apparent reason.

It's like observing the world from the eyes of another unrelated person.

I once thought it was just an inexplicable hallucination.

At this moment, Kakashi has a deep premonition...those vague images in his memory might become reality at some point in the future!

This is what happened when Minato-sensei became Hokage.

squeak-

"I am back."

Kakashi pushed open the door and shouted casually.

Naturally, no one answered in the room.

But it does not prevent him from still adhering to this habit.

A few minutes later.

Kakashi, wearing a formal set of Anbu equipment, undoubtedly looked more fierce than before.

Maybe it's really the bonus of the dark side.

Rubbing the strands of hair on his forehead, Kakashi opened the dark red scroll.

If things go as expected, this should be the task that Minato-sensei wants to assign.

The first mission after entering the Anbu...

With an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness, Kakashi let out a sigh of relief and slowly opened the scroll.

"This is......"

Seeing the contents of the scroll, a strange look flashed across Kakashi's face.

Although I can understand why Minato-sensei asked me to join the Anbu, this mission is simply too......

This was the time when Konoha had finally achieved a truce, and the original mission was to help the village recuperate first.

I didn't expect it to be such a difficult challenge.

"Lin..." Kakashi muttered in a low voice, and then covered his face with a white cat mask.

Scarlet blood-red eyes shone from it and quietly fell in a distant direction.

It is a village shrouded in mist, located in the Land of Water.

......

"Ugh."

Might Guy walked on the road with his arms raised and his head in his hands, sighing intentionally or unintentionally.

"Kai, you've been sighing since just now..." Gang Zitie rolled his eyes at Kai.

"How can I not sigh! Kakashi has become like this, but as his eternal opponent, I can't do anything at this time!" Might Guy said angrily, clenching his fists.

Might Guy has been distressed for a long time, watching Kakashi become depressed and listless all day long.

Gang Zitie coughed twice and pushed Kai's fist away from his eyes.

"How about we go have a barbecue? It's a good opportunity for everyone to get together?"

"Eating barbecue? That's a good idea!" Might Guy looked at Genma Shiranui who was talking on the side.

I have to say this is a good idea. After all, as students of the same class, we haven't gotten together for a long time. What's more, it's just the end of the war, so we should celebrate!

I guess Kakashi wouldn't be able to refuse!

As Might Guy thought about it, flames flashed in his eyes.

This is a combination of youth and barbecue, which makes your blood boil!

"Then how about this, Xuanjian, you go and call Kakashi?" Gang Zitie said with a wicked smile.

"I'll go find Asuma. As long as we call Hong, it shouldn't be a problem for him to treat us..."

"Come on, I can't do it. Let me go find Asuma."

Shiranui Genma spat out the Senbon with some disgust.

"I can't talk to Kakashi. It's too cold around him..."

After saying that, he glanced at Might Guy, as if to say 'you know'.

Might Guy understood what he meant and was about to agree.

Suddenly his expression froze, and with a "whoosh" sound, he disappeared from the spot in a quick step.

"Akai, where are you going!" Gang Zitie shouted when he saw this.
