The ANBU ninjas, who had just spent a peaceful New Year, had not had time to enjoy the beautiful aftertaste of the New Year, but due to the defection of an unexpected person, they had to leave their beds at night to carry out missions.
From the moment the Sandaime issued the order, Konoha's Anbu came out in force, and countless idle jounin were also dispatched, trying their best to capture Orochimaru, one of the 'three ninjas' who defected from the village due to the exposure of human experiments.
.
Kakashi Hatake, as the team leader, sets off with his only team member Hinata Yuzuru.
Orochimaru fought with the third generation before escaping, and was seriously injured. The traces were obvious. Obviously, this was the best moment to hunt down Orochimaru.
Unlike Kakashi Hatake who was so impatient that he wanted to break one minute into two minutes.
Hinata Yuzuru walked slowly and looked relaxed, as if he was on an outing.
"Tenhu, speed up. We must get to the base where Orochimaru may transfer and retreat before Orochimaru to ambush him."
Kakashi had a clear goal. He first summoned the ninja dog to catch the smell, and then kept reminding Yuzuru Hinata to speed up his pace.
But Hyuga Yuzuru just said lightly: "Do you think the two of us will be Orochimaru's opponents?"
Kakashi was silent for a moment. In fact, when Orochimaru was caught and raped by the third generation, he was guarding at the door of his house. He was almost killed by Orochimaru who was in a hurry to run away. If it weren't for the explosive charm of the third generation, he would have been pointed out.
Maybe there is still the Heavenly Curse Seal on his neck, or maybe his head was bitten off.
However, he still said coldly: "Orochimaru is seriously injured. Our only task is to trap him. I will take the opportunity to let the psychic beast notify other companions."
"Then do you think we can trap him?" Hinata Yuzuru asked again.
Kakashi simply stopped: "If you feel that there is nothing you can do and want to give up the mission, you can turn around and go back now. I will truthfully report to the third generation... You are a ninja of ANBU!"
"I just want to know, is the third generation really incapable of killing or keeping Orochimaru at that time?"
Hinata Yuzuru also had cold eyes.
He took off his mask, and under the mask was Kakashi's appearance that he had seen for the first time, without wearing glasses.
The sharp eyes lacked the gentleness and humorless banter before, instead, there was only a little anger, ridicule, and indifference.
"Didn't the Third Generation ever think about how many ordinary ninjas would die when facing a being like Orochimaru?"
"Didn't he think about how many innocent people would die because of Orochimaru along the way?"
"Just because of the so-called master-disciple relationship, I felt pity and couldn't attack Orochimaru, but I turned around and left the matter to my subordinates..."
"Arrest? Stop joking."
"Kakashi, if you really want to carry out this mission...promise me one thing."
Kakashi Hatake was rendered speechless by his series of words. He could not explain what the third generation had done.
Hyuga Yuzuru looked at him coldly: "If I have to capture Orochimaru... I'm sorry, I may try my best to prevent you from making irrational choices at any time, and find a way to take you away with me."
"I won't risk my life just to make up for other people's ridiculous mistakes. Instead of working with Orochimaru to make you and I die worthless, I would rather fight to stop you...when I feel that things are going wrong
When it is no longer possible, the task must be terminated."
Hinata Yuzuru seems to have a very determined attitude.
The words he said unexpectedly made Kakashi pierce his heart. He may feel that his life is not important at this moment, but he never wants to watch his companions die in front of his own eyes.
However, when Kakashi was silent and didn't know how to react, he put on the mask again.
"Of course, if you say that you will report it to the third generation, just pretend that I didn't say anything and I will cooperate with you."
His words were light and airy, and he seemed to have returned to his usual carefree tone.
But Kakashi already knew his determination - for this mission, he really wanted to go all out... paddling.
After a moment of silence, Kakashi said: "If nothing can be done, I will make retreat the first priority, but before that, the ninja must complete the mission as the first goal. If the third generation asks about the reason for the failure, I will also
I will express your attitude truthfully."
"Don't worry, you don't think that the Third Generation really expects the two of us or these ANBU to capture Orochimaru, right?"
Hinata Yuzuru chuckled twice, and from Kakashi's attitude, he knew that he would never tell the truth about what he said to the third generation.
What does it mean to just express his attitude truthfully?
I just feel like I can’t stop Orochimaru. Is there a problem? You can’t stop him, so how can you expect a child that is less than half your age together?
Even if Sandai listened, he could only say that his judgment was very calm and decisive, right?
Kakashi silently led the way, a ninja dog captured the clues along the way, and Hinata Yuzuru confirmed with his white eyes. The speed of the search was very efficient.
Two full days and two nights.
Kakashi finally got the help of Ninja Dog and Hinata Yuzuru.
An exception was found.
On the only way to the outside of Konoha.
In a huge tree hole.
Hyuga Yuzuru captured the chakra traces of dozens of people.
Kakashi and Hinata Yuzuru looked at each other, and he walked inside without hesitation, but Hinata Yuzuru reached out and patted him on the back.
There was no dialogue, just Hinata Yuzuru staring at him confirmingly, while Kakashi hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
Trusting your companions... you are also a qualified ninja, the qualities you should have.
Kakashi thought so.
Hinata Yuzuru asked him to walk behind him while he walked in front, slowly stepping into the deep and huge tree hole like a cave.
In my mind, I began to quickly recall the plot of the original work.
Will Orochimaru appear here?
meeting.
But when?
Can't remember clearly.
What's the danger inside? It's probably a group of poor people who have been brainwashed by Orochimaru. They have the strange ability to turn their bodies into smoke, and they are quite difficult to deal with.
I can't remember the details other than that. Oh, the name of that group of people... seems to be the Ibuli tribe.
"Do you know the wind release ninjutsu?"
"I know a little bit, but Wind Release is my weakest ninjutsu at the moment." Kakashi said truthfully.
Even though he will be called the copy ninja Kakashi in the future, the ninjutsu he masters now is not as comprehensive as it will be in the future.
Kakashi, who failed to understand the joyful fighting method of using one's technique to retaliate, was still quite specialized in more efficient fighting rather than complete living.
Chakra also doesn't support him doing too much fancy work. Carving a dog's head on the earth flow wall is the limit of his work.
