The next morning.

Setsuna Hinata got up and rushed towards the ANBU base after eating breakfast.

After receiving the notification of Yue Guang Baiyue's mission yesterday, Hinata Setsuna has been thinking about this matter.

Since he is now an ANBU directly under the Hokage, this mission is most likely an order from Sarutobi Hiruzen himself.

But why did Hiruzen Sarutobi let him carry out the mission alone?

Could it be that the last mission made me suspicious or something else...

After a while, Setsuna Hinata, wearing a rabbit mask on his face, arrived at the ANBU base.

Walking into the dark Anbu passage, I came to a pre-arranged room and waited for the arrival of the moonlight.

"Crack!"

While Hinata was waiting for a moment, footsteps began to sound outside the house.

Then the wooden door was pushed open, and Hinata looked at the face under the mask with a surprised expression.

"Kakashi?"

Yes, it was Kakashi who pushed the door open outside the house.

Although he wore a dog-face mask on his face, Kakashi's white hair that showed his presence still succeeded in making Hinata recognize him instantly.

Kakashi walked into the house and was stunned when he heard Hinata's familiar voice.

After a while, he spoke slowly with uncertainty in his words.

"moment?"

Hinata Setsuna looked at Kakashi who was standing by the door in a daze and said.

"Kakashi, why are you here?"

"Could it be that you came here to accept a mission because someone else informed you?"

Kakashi walked into the house, and now his expression under the dog-faced mask became strange.

"Setsuna, you also came here after receiving a mission notice?"

Hearing Kakashi's rhetorical question, Hinata Setsuna had already determined that Kakashi was going on a mission with him.

It’s just that Yueguang Baiyue said yesterday that I was on this mission alone, so why did Kakashi come back too?

Could it be another arrangement by Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Sarutobi Hiruzen, is this also in your calculations?

Looking at Kakashi sitting quietly aside and not talking, Hinata asked instantly.

"Kakashi, what was the mission notice you received yesterday?"

After hearing Hinata Setsuna's question, Kakashi's eyes flashed with hesitation under the mask.

But in the end he spoke slowly.

"The person who informed me yesterday said that I should complete this task alone."

After hearing Kakashi's words, Hinata Setsuna didn't speak but just sat quietly and thought.

Kakashi looked at Hinata Setsuna who was sitting aside and thinking. At this time, he also quickly realized that Hinata Setsuna's mission might be the same as the one he wanted to perform.

Kakashi is not stupid, otherwise he would not have become the "Sixth Hokage" after Tsunade.

It's just that Kakashi is still young and doesn't have much experience, and Setsuna Hinata, who has the memory of two lifetimes, naturally reacted before Kakashi.

At this moment, the door to the room was opened again, and Hinata Setsuna and Kakashi looked up at the same time.

That's right, it was Yueguang Baiyue who came in at this time.

She wore a fox mask on her face, hiding his beautiful face and temperament.

The loose Anbu clothes also covered his abnormally developed figure.

Hinata Setsuna said softly while looking at the moonlight Baiyue walking into the house.

"Captain Bai Yue, it seems that today's mission was not carried out by me alone."

Listening to the thoughtful tone of the kid in front of her, Yueguang Baiyue under the mask knew that this brat was waiting for him to explain the situation in front of him.

Although she herself didn't know why there was an extra person here, these were all orders from Lord Hokage, and as a member of the Anbu directly under the Hokage, she only had to obey the orders.

Yueguan Baiyue, who was wearing a fox face mask, said with an indifferent expression.

"This is the arrangement of the Third Hokage. Now I am just here to take you to see the Third Hokage."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out with her long slender legs.

The two people in the room looked at each other and followed them in confusion.

To be precise, Kakashi was a little confused, Hinata Setsuna was not confused, after all, he had expected it before.

…

In front of the Hokage Building.

Moonlight Baiyue led Hinata Setsuna and Kakashi to the Hokage's office after passing the inspection by the building guards.

Moonlight Baiyue raised her hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Dong dong dong dong dong!"

Along with the knock on the door, a strong voice also came from inside the house.

"Come in."

The three of them pushed open the wooden door and walked into the Hokage's office.

Moonlight Baiyue looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting behind the desk not far away, and said with respect in his words.

"Third generation sir, Ba Yi and Bai Lang have already brought them here."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting behind his desk, clasped his hands on his chest and said.

"Thank you for your hard work Bai Yue, now you can go on your mission!"

"Yes, Third Generation-sama!"

When Yue Guangbaiyue was leaving, the eyes under the mask involuntarily looked at Hinata Setsuna, and then the figure disappeared in the Hokage's office.

As Yue Guang Baiyue left, Hinata Setsuna also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen. This was their second meeting.

In Hinata Setsuna's eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression seemed to reveal fatigue and heaviness, but these emotions were eventually covered up by the smile on his face.

Hinata Setsuna looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment, thinking deeply in his heart.

Carrying the name of Hokage and taking all the pain and sorrow into oneself?

Haha, I really don’t know what to say...

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen behind the desk also turned his attention to Hinata Setsuna and Kakashi, and said with a kind smile on his face.

"Setsuna, Kakashi, I think you are also wondering what is going on with this mission!"

Hinata Setsuna and Kakashi both nodded, they were indeed very confused about this mission.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the pipe and put it to his mouth, took a slow drag, and said softly with an apologetic look on his face.

"Originally, this mission was carried out by someone else, but something went wrong due to some special reasons."

"So this mission has to be left to you to protect!"

Hinata Setsuna listened to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, and he once again captured the important factor "special reason", "protection"?

What mission must be entrusted to these two ninjas who have just graduated from the ninja school?

Hinata Setsuna admits that he is a genius.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally called them over to explain this mission, which shows that this mission is very important.

But such an important task can be handed over so easily to us two kids who have just graduated from ninja school and joined ANBU?

In this Ganges River?

At this moment, Kakashi on the side was already asking Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Then, Third Generation, when is our mission?"

After listening to Kakashi's words, Hinata Setsuna on the side immediately looked at Kakashi with a "fool" look.

Was Kakashi so stubborn when he was a child?

Why doesn't he think about why such an important task is entrusted to us?

Watching Kakashi seriously discussing the details of the mission with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hinata suddenly felt so tired.
