Naruto and Shadow

“That rascal……”

After walking out of the Hokage Building, Kakashi was in a good mood and was thinking about whether to invite Hikaru to the barbecue restaurant where Minato’s class was going to have dinner later, but as soon as he came out, he didn’t see him at all.

When did he leave?

Didn’t even notice him?

“What’s wrong, Kakashi?”

Nohara Lin was the first to notice the change in Kakashi’s mood.

“nothing.”

Kakashi glanced around, but still couldn’t find any trace of Hikaru Hino leaving.

That guy was definitely above the chuunin level in terms of stealth skills.

It seems that he is not as lazy as others said.……

“Come on, come on, I’m starving, Kakashi!”

Obito, who couldn’t wait to eat barbecue, was running excitedly towards the other side of the street while turning back to wait for his two companions.

“Really, I am always late every time I go on a mission, but I am so positive at this time.”

Kakashi shook his head, but still followed Nohara Rin.

——

“It’s great. After returning from the mission, I can have barbecue with my companions.”

Hino Hikaru, who was standing horizontally on the wall of the Hokage Building, quietly watched the three people walking away.

“However, this is only this period of time. Soon they will have to……”

The Iwagakure Village has invaded the Country of Grass, which will also mark the beginning of the Third Ninja War.

As a time traveler who is familiar with Naruto, Hino Hikaru has already seen the fate of Kakashi and his team.

But he had neither sympathy nor intention— nor the ability to lend a helping hand.

Just a little bit sad.

Because compared to himself, people like Kakashi Obito are much luckier.

In the ninja world that has always been in a state of semi-war, civilian ninjas and civilian genin with no potential have always been cannon fodder among cannon fodder.

It’s the kind of passer-by-level genin that is killed by the protagonist or supporting characters with kunai, shuriken, or punching and kicking in one hit – the background panel that jumps on the ground as soon as it appears.

It is a very different existence from the powerful genin of Konoha in my impression.

Hino Hikaru, who receives missions with a narrow escape from death every time, is actually not special. His specialness, and the”attention” he currently receives, is just because he can get out of the missions alive every time, while other civilian ninjas who receive dangerous missions All dead.

That’s all

“I didn’t expect that Danzo was also in the Hokage’s office. No wonder I kept feeling like someone was peeping just now.”

In order to get the real war news so that he could survive better in the future, Hino Hikaru boldly used his”Transparent Escape” to hide his figure, and has been hiding outside the window of the Hokage’s office, eavesdropping on the conversations inside.

——

“Danzo, let Orochimaru end his research early. People in the village have begun to have objections to him, and Konoha is about to enter a war, and now needs his power.”

After Namikaze Minato also left the Hokage’s office, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately put on another face.

In front of his classmate and best friend Shimura Danzo, he no longer needed to look like that. Kind old man expression

“But Orochimaru said that now is the critical moment for him……”

Whether it is studying the cells of the first generation or the forbidden techniques of the second generation Hokage, Orochimaru has made quite rapid progress over the years.

This is also one of the reasons why Danzo Shimura is willing to be friends with Orochimaru in private.

“The safety of the village is more important than anything else!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little angry in a rare way.

I don’t know if he was angry with Orochimaru for drifting away from him over the years, or for Danzo’s pushback, or both.

“You tell him that after this war, I will reasonably consider the candidate for the next Hokage and retire from the position of Hokage from now on.”

“knew.”

The old man with a bandage on his face seemed to be waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to say this.

“I will convey your thoughts to Orochimaru properly.”

Yes, another reason why Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru are now on good terms is that the other party is likely to be the next Hokage in the village.

And he knows that with Orochimaru’s character, it is impossible to stay in the position of Hokage for a long time. Wait, by that time, Danzo Shimura will undoubtedly be the best candidate for Hokage.

“What else?”

Seeing that Danzo didn’t just give up, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little strange.

“That child named Kakashi must be the son of Konoha White Fang. That aura and that look in his eyes fit our roots very well.……”

“Don’t even think about it, Danzo!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his sleeves impatiently.

“Sakumo… White Fang has been destroyed by you, his son must live in the sun.”

Even if Kakashi is to become an ANBU, he should become Hokage’s ANBU.”

“hehe……”

You’re still so hypocritical, Hiruzen.

Danzo did not argue much with Hiruzen Sarutobi about”destroying the White Fang”

“Since Kakashi can’t do it, what about that child?”

“who?”

“That civilian genin.”

Danzo thought of the performance of the civilian genin just now. Although the opponent’s chakra was very weak from a perceptual point of view, it is somewhat valuable to be able to master the secret technique of penetration.

“Speaking of which, how did a civilian ninja learn the secret techniques of the Moonlight Family?”

“You mean Hikaru Hino?”

“Although Transmission is a secret technique, not only Hino Hikaru, but also Jiraiya can do it.”

Well, there’s nothing surprising.

Ninjas have different talents. If Hino Hikaru can learn how to escape, it can only be said that he just has that kind of talent.

“However, even he can’t do it.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have had any disagreements with Danzo on the issue of a civilian genin, but a lot of things today made him very upset.

Even Danzo in front of him was hard to look at. Got it

“Why? He was just a civilian genin with little potential.”

Danzo’s cloudy single eyeball moved slightly, and he seemed a little surprised by Sarutobi Hiruzen’s answer.

“His parents gave their lives for Konoha and are heroes of Konoha. I can’t let their son rot in your roots.”

“Huh, another high-sounding reason.”

It’s really disgusting, Hiruzen.

Danzo snorted with disdain, and then quickly disappeared from the room.

Hino Hikaru, who was hiding outside and eavesdropping, almost took a breath.

Damn it. , he was almost sent to the roots just after Danzo took one more look at him…

Civilian genin really have no human rights at all.

——

“However, my invisibility ability is really getting stronger and stronger.……”

Yes, it is impossible to hide under the eyes of the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura just by relying on the so-called penetration.

Hikaru Hino can do all this only because he has the super power of invisibility.

Like all time travellers, he also awakened the system.

And he woke up as soon as he traveled through time.

It’s just that… his system is broken. Apart from displaying a line of information that only he can see, there is nothing in this system or any function.

The only consolation prize for this broken and incompetent system is the superpower that comes to him when he awakens.

【Stealth LV3]

From the beginning to the end, Hino Hikaru only saw these words on the system.

It initially showed LV1, but over the years, probably because I became more proficient, I managed to raise it to LV3.

And this broken system interface has no hints or reminders at all.

“However, this built-in consolation bonus ability is also very easy to use. It is completely invisible and can eliminate even the breath. It does not consume chakra, but only consumes a little mental state.”

Even Uchiha’s Sharingan can’t see through his invisibility.

Because the activation of super powers does not require the use of chakra.

Moreover, if he did not have this ability, he would not be able to rely on his ultra-low ninja talent. Survive to this day in this crisis-ridden ninja world

“And it just so happens that it can be misunderstood by others as a clairvoyance, so there is no need to think of other ways to explain one’s ability.”

I have to say that the ninja world is quite”tolerant” of people with super powers.

“However, although the crisis on Danzo’s side has been temporarily resolved,……”

The Third Ninja War is about to begin, and the death rate of ninjas, especially civilian ninjas like him, will be greatly increased.

“It’s good to at least survive until the Nine-Tails Rebellion. If I can’t survive the plot of the first episode, then I, as a time traveler, have failed too much.”

——

At the same time, Danzo Shimura, who was repeatedly rejected by Hiruzen Sarutobi, returned to his roots with an angry look on his face.

“Get me the ninja information of genin Hino Hikaru.”

He casually ordered one of his men following him.

“yes!”

“Even a useless civilian genin refused to be released to me. Huh, Hiruzen, do you really think I’m that easy to bully?”

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.

Although Danzo did not dare to confront Sarutobi Hiruzen head-on, he soon thought of a dirty trick.

By the way, didn’t he want to arrange a chuunin test for him?

Then let the roots The ninjas should be his examiners.

Those who can pass will naturally be promoted to chuunin, but those who cannot pass… Anyway, the civilian genin of Konoha, which has a very high death rate, don’t care about more fresh and young corpses.

“You will regret rejecting me! Hiruzen!”
