Chapter 159 Akatsuki's departure, Kakashi's distress.
Chapter 159 Akatsuki's departure, Kakashi's distress.
In Konoha Village, the three leaders of Akatsuki led hundreds of members standing at the gate of Konoha.
At this time, more than ten days have passed since the last answering test.
Those members of the Akatsuki organization who were poisoned with Sansho Uibushi neurotoxin were carefully cared for by the medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital, and finally all members were rescued.
Now, Yahiko, Uzumaki Nagato and Konan feel that it is time to leave.
As for Konoha, the two former elders of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, the Third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and Mitomon Yan Koharu, the teacher of the three Yahiko Jiraiya, and Nara Shikahisa Hatake Kakashi , come to see you off.
At the entrance of the village, hundreds of Akatsuki members had lined up outside the village, waiting to set off, while the three of Yahiko said goodbye to Konoha at the entrance of the village.
"Hey."
Jiraiya looked at the three of Yahiko, sighed, and asked helplessly:
"Do you really don't want to stay?"
"If you go, I'm afraid there will be many dangers again. I am very worried about you."
Not long after Hanzo's siege and Heijue's sneak attack last time, although Jiraiya couldn't help the three stubborn disciples and had to let them go, he was still very worried about their safety.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiraiya, we won't step into the same trap a second time."
Yahiko showed a sunny smile, as if the experience of dying once had no effect on him at all, and in turn comforted Jiraiya:
"If we are determined to pursue our ideals, we will not be afraid of the thorns on the road."
"Don't worry, Master Jiraiya!"
Uzumaki Nagato also nodded, and said seriously:
"I will protect Yahiko! Even if it costs me my life!"
Konan also said:
"We'll protect ourselves."
The firm will of the three of them also made Zilai feel a little relieved. In the end, he could only nod his head and say:
"Then you must be careful, and you can contact me at any time if you encounter any situation."
"Don't forget, there is my teacher behind you!"
There was a trace of regret on Uzumaki Kushina's beautiful face, she smiled at Uzumaki Nagato:
"Nagato-kun, please protect yourself."
"The revival of the Uzumaki clan depends on you!"
Uzumaki Nagato can almost be said to be the last male of the Uzumaki clan.
Except for Uzumaki Nagato, the other surviving Uzumaki Clan orphans, Uzumaki Kushina, Uzumaki Yoshina, Uzumaki Karin are all women, and the children born cannot bear the clan name unless there are special circumstances.
It is even more impossible to continue the form of the Uzumaki family.
Uzumaki Kushina is the wife of the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, her identity determines that she can no longer contribute to the continuation and revival of the Uzumaki clan, so she can only count on Uzumaki Nagato.
"I see, Lord Kushina!"
Uzumaki Kushina has a high seniority, so Uzumaki Nagato used the honorific title for him, and he made a serious promise:
"When we achieve peace, I will go all out to revitalize the family, and I won't let you down!"
"Then I wish you all the best of luck!"
"You can go back to Muye Village if you have time, we welcome you anytime!"
Namikaze Minato finally concluded that there was no trace of unhappiness on his face because Yahiko and the others were about to leave, it was all smiles.
For Namikaze Minato, although it was his decision to let Jiraiya bring Uzumaki Nagato back, he would never detain Uzumaki Nagato and others because of this.
On the contrary, after Uzumaki Nagato and the three decided to leave, he sent his heartfelt blessings.
This is the measure of the Fourth Hokage.
In contrast, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little unhappy. He and the two former elders stood not far behind Minato Namikaze, his face was tense, and he looked at Uzumaki Nagato and others with a look of scrutiny.
Ever since Uzumaki Nagato was seen on the screen destroying Konoha with a single attack by Shinra Tensei, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been focusing on Uzumaki Nagato, regarding this red-haired kid as a potential enemy.
The idea of resurrecting Senjujuma failed, and Konoha also lost the hole card that could check and balance this level of combat power.
"Ri Zhan, let them go so simply?"
Mitomon asked dissatisfied.
"Hmph! Letting this kind of out-of-village people go to Muye Village not only took up our medical resources, but also took away the final reward for answering the test. Minato let them go so easily!"
Turning to sleep, Xiaochun snorted coldly, his old face covered with frost.
"I didn't say that Minato is getting more and more presumptuous. They don't even discuss such a big matter with us. It's too arbitrary!"
Mitomonyan went on to say:
"In the long run! Konoha has become his talk! What's the matter?"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt a little unhappy when he heard the chatter of the two old friends.
Since he completely retired, Namikaze Minato has become more and more independent in handling things, and it is less and less often to come to him for consultation when encountering problems in decision-making.
Before, he felt that this was the progress of Namikaze Minato, which he was happy to see.
Because this proves that Namikaze Minato has grown up and gradually become a reliable Hokage.
But now, when things had come to a point where the two of them were going in opposite directions, he began to wonder if his decision to let go completely was really necessary.
"If I still have the right to speak now, surely this situation will not happen now?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart, but after all he knew in his heart that there should be no rift between him and Namikaze Minato, at least on the surface they wanted to be harmonious, so he opened his mouth and reprimanded the two old guys beside him:
"Don't talk about it, Minato's approach naturally has his reasons."
"He is the Hokage of Konoha Village!"
Beside him, Hatake Kakashi seemed to have heard something, and glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi without a trace, with a trace of complexity and confusion in his eyes.
……
In the end, Yahiko, Uzumaki Nagato, and Konan waved goodbye to Namikaze Minato and the others, and embarked on the return journey.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi reluctantly nodded to Minamito Namakaze, turned around and left with the two old fellows.
But his emotions were a little obvious, and Shikahisa Nara noticed it immediately, and after they left, he winked at Minato Namikaze.
"fine."
Namikaze Minato waved his hand, signaling Nara Shikahisa not to be nervous, and then took Uzumaki Kushina home to see the child on his own.
Everyone left one after another, and Hatake Kakashi also walked in the direction of the Anbu base.
He is now the head of a key department in the dark department, and he has many things to do every day.
"Who is right?"
The scene just now emerged in Hatake Kakashi's mind. When he heard the conversation between the three of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he subconsciously leaned towards the three of them.
Why are the interests of my Muye Village taken over by outsiders for no reason?
But this kind of decision was made by the teacher and Namikaze Minato, Hatake Kakashi didn't want to doubt the correctness of his teacher's order, so he was very contradictory.
……
That night, after Hatake Kakashi was busy with Anbe's work, he was hungry and ready to eat something before going home to rest.
As we walked, a man suddenly emerged from a barbecue restaurant on the side of the road, beckoning to Kakashi Hatake:
"Kakashi, come in!"
This person was wearing a loose yukata, holding a small wine glass in his right hand, and his face was red after drinking. Naturally, it was Shikahisa Nara.
"Master Lu Jiu, why are you in this kind of place?"
What time is it?Don't you have to go home?
What Hatake Kakashi really wanted to ask was this.
"You're still young, so you don't understand."
Nara Shikahisa pulled Hatake Kakashi's sleeve, led him into the barbecue shop, sat down at his table, and laughed boldly:
"Men, especially men after marriage, they always have to find some time to relax while taking care of work and family."
On Nara Shikahisa's table are all kinds of grilled meat and vegetables, as well as two bottles of sake that have already been drunk.
"Where are Aunt Yoshino and Shikamaru?"
Hatake Kakashi sat down helplessly, he really couldn't resist this drunken middle-aged man.
"I went to bed early, otherwise I wouldn't have time to drink."
Shikahisa Nara waved his hand, poured himself a glass of wine, then took out the glass and poured a glass for Hatake Kakashi:
"Kakashi is also a ninja on his own now, so why hasn't he ever had a drink?"
Hatake Kakashi has just come of age, so he really hasn't drunk alcohol yet.
He resisted a little, but Nara Shikahisa took off his mask and forcefully poured him a cup.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Although the alcohol content of the sake was not high, Kakashi Hatake drank it for the first time, and his throat was a little choked and he couldn't stop coughing.
Then, Shikahisa Nara let him drink and eat meat, and Kakashi Hatake gradually relaxed a little bit.
"Kakashi, I saw that you looked confused when you left today. What's on your mind?"
Shikaku Nara put a piece of meat into his mouth and asked casually.
"fine.……"
Speaking of this, Hatake Kakashi hesitated for a while, but still didn't say it.
"Can't even I say it?"
Nara Shikahisa pretended to sigh, and exclaimed:
"White Fang and I had a good relationship back then. When you were just born, you even urinated in my hand."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Hatake Kakashi was choked again, his handsome face blushed, and he didn't know whether it was the effect of alcohol or embarrassment:
"Don't talk about that! Uncle Lu Jiu!"
"Hahahaha!"
Nara Shikahisa looked at the uncomfortable Hatake Kakashi narrowly, and laughed heartily.
The next moment, Nara Shikahisa drank another cup, suddenly leaned forward, covered his mouth with one hand, and asked mysteriously:
"Is it because you have doubts about Minato's decision after hearing what the three generations of adults said?"
At this time, his mind was punctured, Hatake Kakashi's eyes flashed with panic, and he couldn't help looking out the door.
"What are you afraid of? What's wrong with that?"
Nara Shika waved his hand indifferently for a long time, and said:
"I understand what you are thinking and why you have such thoughts."
"It's obviously Konoha's stuff, why give it to people from other villages for no reason."
"Since I have benefited from Konoha, why should I pat my ass and leave?"
"Right?"
Shikahisa Nara's words were exactly what Kakashi Hatake was thinking about today, and he nodded silently.
"Hehe, what a brat's thinking."
Nara Shikahisa showed a smile on his face and asked:
"Have you ever thought that the reward for answering the test really belongs to Konoha?"
"Even if Minato keeps them, will they really love Konoha?"
Hatake Kakashi was confused by asking these two questions at once.
Does the reward for answering the test belong to Konoha?
Hatake Kakashi wanted to nod subconsciously, because the first time Ye Chen appeared, and also the first answering test was in Konoha. From that moment on, he regarded the answering test as Konoha's unique benefit .
But Ye Chen's identity has not been clarified yet.
What's more, facing Ye Chen's mysterious origin and strange and incomprehensible strength, does Muye Village have the ability to take it as its own?
"Since when did I so naturally think that this belongs to Konoha?"
Hatake Kakashi began to think in his heart:
"Is it because of pride?"
On the other hand, Uzumaki Nagato and the others' problems are completely clear:
"Uzumaki Nagato and the others, if they stay in Konoha forcibly, there may be conflicts."
Reminiscent of the strength Uzumaki Nagato showed on the screen in the last answer test, Hatake Kakashi shuddered:
"If there is a conflict, if Uzumaki Nagato uses that technique at all costs, who can resist it?"
"I'm afraid it will happen immediately. The destruction of Muye Village will be staged ahead of time, right?"
Thinking of this, Hatake Kakashi broke out in cold sweat, and Nara Shikaku saw it, and said with a smile:
"Sure enough, he is a smart kid, he reacts very quickly!"
After thinking about everything, Hatake Kakashi immediately understood his previous mentality problems, and respectfully offered a glass of wine to Shikaku Nara, thanking him:
"It's really thanks to Uncle Lu Jiu's reminder, otherwise I would still be immersed in arrogance."
"En! On the road!"
Nara Shika Kumi drank his drink, and said to Hatake Kakashi:
"Now that you've figured this out, let me ask you one last question."
"Do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing for Minato to let Jiraiya bring Uzumaki Nagato and the others to Konoha and take away so many benefits?"
Hatake Kakashi was taken aback, could it be a good thing?
Those people from the Land of Rain didn’t do anything good after arriving in Konoha. They first took up Konoha’s medical resources, and then used the quiz to revive the leader. Is this still a good thing for Konoha?
Seeing Hatake Kakashi's stupid look, Nara Shikahisa laughed:
"Think about it carefully. If you think about it clearly, you will truly become a unique ninja."
"Presumably when the time comes, Bai Fang in the Pure Land will also be pleased."
