After receiving the mission, the ANBU team left the Hokage Building and prepared to carry out the mission.
According to the original plan, they should rush to Kushina immediately and prepare for protection, but the direction of Kakashi's movement was not the Yondaime family's courtyard.
Stopping, Hinata looked at Kakashi and asked: "Captain Kakashi, that shouldn't be where Kushina is."
"Indeed not."
Kakashi nodded and said: "The mission will officially start tomorrow. You should go back first. I will inform you tomorrow morning."
Hinata frowned, feeling something was wrong. For Kakashi, there were not many things more important than the mission, and the thing that made him show such an expression could almost certainly be that thing.
After pondering for a while, Hinata Zang said: "I and Yin happen to have time today, so I will go for a walk with you. Captain Kakashi shouldn't be so indifferent..."
Saying that, Hinata glanced at Yin, who also nodded in agreement.
After taking a deep look at Hinata Zou and Yin, Kakashi did not refuse and rushed towards the village street.
Hinata Zou and Yin followed Kakashi. If his guess was correct, Kakashi was going to worship the dead again.
Not long after, the three of them came to the flower shop in the village.
Kakashi picked out a few bunches of lilies, and Hinata Zou and Yin were no exception, choosing white flowers.
"It turns out that Captain Kakashi is going to pay tribute!" Uchibo said as he picked up the flowers.
"Yes, Captain Kakashi also has people he can't forget." Hinata Zang also felt a little emotional.
Speaking of which, he and Yin haven't been to the Heroes Cemetery for a long time. They used to have a team of jounin.
However, during the first mission, the special jounin who led the team died during the mission. The initial level of the mission was only C level, and the execution was just an ordinary escort mission.
After selecting flowers, the three of them went to a corner of the village to commemorate the heroes' cemetery.
The cemetery is covered with green grass, and at first glance, it is full of commemorative monuments with names engraved on them. It is possible to leave the names of war heroes of Konoha on them.
There are many names of genin and chuunin on the commemorative monument, and even the names of some jounin known to Hyugazo are among them. In the tragic battlefield, even the jounin cannot guarantee whether he will survive the next battle.
There are only two types of people who can survive a ninja battle, one is a ninja who is strong enough, and the other is a ninja who is well prepared.
He and Yin were the latter, relying on caution and preparation to survive the continuous ninja battles.
Putting a bouquet of flowers for his leader who died early, Hinata Zang still remembered that that guy died to protect his genin.
Apparently not long after White Fang gave up his mission and committed suicide due to public opinion, another idiot appeared to protect his companions.
Glancing at Sound beside him, Hinata walked towards Kakashi.
Kakashi squatted in front of the tombstone with almost no expression on his face. After putting down the bouquet, he just stared at the names of the ninjas on the tombstone, Obito and Nohara Rin.
Obito and Nohara Rin were both companions who fought alongside him, but they died in the mission one after another.
The only one who survived was him, who as a Jonin shouldered the responsibility of captain. Even though he was the strongest, he was protected by them.
From then on, he felt guilty and had the habit of mumbling to himself in front of the commemorative monument.
He told his deceased companion what was happening in the village, as if Obito and Nohara Rin could hear him.
"Obito, Lin..."
Just when Kakashi was about to tell what happened recently, a figure stopped in front of him.
Hinata looked at Kakashi helplessly, trying to stop the other person from doing stupid things. Since it was from the heart, he should keep it in his heart, so why did he take the initiative to say it out?
Kakashi raised his head and looked at Hinagazou with confusion, not knowing what the other person meant.
After pondering for a while, Hinata pointed at several nearby ninjas who came to pay homage and said: "Captain, please keep some of your inner thoughts in your heart. Please don't say them out loud, especially about ANBU. It's not a good habit to talk to yourself.
"
Kakashi nodded in understanding.
Hinata sighed helplessly in his heart. In his vague memory, the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki seemed to be leaked by Kakashi. During the memorial ceremony, he was overheard by Obito by chance, and then the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki information was leaked by Kakashi.
chaos.
He couldn't take the initiative to reveal the fact that Obito was still alive. He could only use this method to remind Kakashi not to leak information, hoping that the Nine-Tails Rebellion would not happen like in his memory.
The memorial ceremony ended quickly, and there were not many people who could allow the three of them to pay tribute.
He waved and walked side by side with Uchibo towards the outside of the Heroes Cemetery. Before leaving the cemetery, Hinata looked thoughtfully at the forest outside the Heroes Cemetery.
At this moment, is Obito also spying on Kakashi? That guy must be very busy.
Shortly after the ANBU team left, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the masked man walked out of it. He threw the memorial flowers aside and looked at the place where Kakashi had just been.
"Hey, those are flowers in memory of you, are they so heartless?" Jue, who gradually emerged from the soil, said slowly.
"Why are you here? This is Konoha." The masked man glanced at Zetsu.
"Don't worry, I won't be discovered. I deliberately took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. The recent reforms carried out by the Fourth Hokage have caused many Konoha ninjas to neglect..."
Mentioning the Fourth Hokage, the masked man was silent for a long time, with clenched fists under his robe.
Zetsu floated on the ground and continued: "The Hyuga ninja next to Kakashi seemed to have glanced in our direction just now. Could he have noticed us?"
The masked man shook his head: "He didn't open his Byakugan, so he couldn't have spotted us. I've been observing him for a while. He is the kind of ninja who always lays traps when attacking genin... It was just his habit."
"Is that so?"
"My intuition is not wrong," after a pause, the masked man continued, "But that Uchiha is worth paying attention to. If controlled properly, he may be our helper in the future..."
The masked man knew very well that the way the Uchiha looked at the Hyuga ninja was exactly the same as him before, and he might have awakened a pair of good eyes.
As he said that, the masked man's figure was gradually enveloped by the whirlpool, and then disappeared, while Jue on the side also dived into the soil.
At this time, Hinata Zou, who was walking on the street with Uchibo, looked again in the direction of the cemetery.
"What's wrong?" Uchibo, holding half of the watermelon, looked at Hinata Zou.
"Nothing..." Hinata shook his head, picked up a spoon, and scooped out the centermost spoonful of watermelon while Yin wasn't paying attention.
