It was early May in the Konoha calendar year 60, in the country of Waves.
Hatake Kakashi finally recovered completely, and before the four left, they went to the graves of Momochi Zabuza and Haku to say goodbye.
After sweeping away the dust, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but ask: "Kakashi-sensei, is the meaning of ninja existence as they said? Just tools?"
"In this world, who is not a tool? We are the tools in Konoha." Hatake Kakashi said.
"Is this a ninja?" Uzumaki Naruto shouted, "I don't want it, I don't want it."
"Me too." Uchiha Sasuke rarely agreed with Uzumaki Naruto's point of view.
Hatake Kakashi sighed: "No matter what, as long as you are ninjas, you are tools among the ninjas. This is a problem that troubles many ninjas."
The three of them were silent. This was really unexplainable.
"Okay," Uzumaki Naruto suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I have decided that I will follow my own path of ninja, a path that I will never regret, and move forward courageously."
Uchiha Sasuke said angrily: "Idiot, do you know which way you won't regret? Just like you did last time, you were clearly outside, but you ran inside..."
Uzumaki Naruto shouted: "I was saving you!"
"In the end, I saved you." Uchiha Sasuke said and left.
Uzumaki Naruto's cat face appeared.
"Forget it, it's a miracle for Naruto to be able to say such things." Haruno Sakura finished her words and turned to chase Uchiha Sasuke.
Hatake Kakashi sighed and dodged directly.
"Ah..." Uzumaki Naruto shouted angrily...
The next day, in the morning, Dazuna took the villagers to bid farewell to Hatake Kakashi and his party.
However, the emotions of parting were washed away by the waterfall of tears from Uzumaki Naruto and Inari.
Crying is so sad that it makes people laugh...
On the other side, March Bay Westport.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi took Huo Dingxiang and Nari around to several pastures. From hundreds of thousands of chickens, they helped Nari choose a small hen with earth and wind attributes, and could also use space ninjutsu, unitary.
Chicken empty dust...
At the end of May, March Bay Westport.
Misaki Fukuda finally came over with some of the Toyama Youzhong to join her. In fact, it was the Toyama Youzhong who took her all the way here.
Yamazaki handed everything over to Fukuda Misaki. If it was not illegal, he would take over the business if he could accept it. If he couldn't, he would sell it. If he didn't cooperate, he would lift the lid and let the country deal with them.
"Okay, sir, I understand, but I believe they will cooperate. They must have a sum of money in their hands. If the business ends early, they can feel at ease."
"It makes sense. Anyway, you can take care of it. We'll leave first."...
In early June, Yamazaki, Midaiko, and Nari waited for a day at the checkpoint in the southern county of Konoha Forest before Hatake Kakashi and his party arrived.
After saying hello, Yamazaki introduced Nari to everyone. His identity is a subordinate and his strength is that of a senior chuunin.
Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke feel that this woman is very powerful, while Haruno Sakura feels that this woman is very beautiful.
Mei Daizi smiled and said, "Hey, Sakura, I thought you would arrive first."
Haruno Sakura complained: "Because Kakashi-sensei has rested for seven days."
"Well, haha..." Hatake Kakashi laughed awkwardly, "Anyway, we didn't delay, okay, let's go." He said and left first.
Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke glanced at each other and followed.
Mei Daizi asked curiously: "Yeah, what happened to these two people? The relationship seems to be getting worse?"
Haruno Sakura said feebly: "Oh, it's hard to explain in words."
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Then let's talk slowly, since we have time anyway."...
June 15th, at the gate of Konoha.
After Hatake Kakashi announced his disbandment, he immediately left. Haruno Sakura felt a little homesick and left.
Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke looked at each other. The two homeless children went back.
"Let's go, go back and clean up."
"There must be a lot of dust."
Yamazaki and Meidaizi, two people who brought their families with them, didn't miss home at all...
Shan Dai House in the forest.
Haruno Sakura's mother was taking care of the vegetable garden. When she saw Yamazaki and Midaiko coming back, she immediately realized that her daughter Haruno Sakura was back.
When asked if Haruno Sakura was really back, Haruno Meabuki ran away in excitement, muttering about Haruno Sakura's fault, why she didn't send a letter back, and why she didn't buy any gifts.
"Hey, I feel like Sakura is going to be miserable."
Yamazaki didn't agree with what Midaiko said. Just seeing her take away the water ladle, he knew that she was deeply concerned about Haruno Sakura.
Yamazaki said to Nari: "Okay, come with me to register in Konoha later, and now help clean up."
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Yes, I need a lot of help, use Ninja techniques to clean the house, and exercise control."
Nari smiled and said: "No problem."...
On the other side, the Hokage's office.
Hatake Kakashi handed over the mission report he took some time to write on the road and briefly spoke about it.
The Sandaime Hokage took a puff of his pipe and said, "Momochi Zabuza is dead, and the Mizukage has eliminated a serious problem."
"Although you didn't kill him, based on this, our relationship with Kirigakure will be better than before."
"This is a good thing."
Hatake Kakashi responded: "Yes, this is an unexpected gain."
The Sandaime Hokage asked: "Brothers and sisters Yamazaki and Meidaiko are back?"
Hatake Kakashi responded: "Yes, they are back, and they brought back a girl named Nari, who is about fourteen years old and has a chakra level of a senior chuunin."
"Chunin? Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are all at the chunin level. Please consider whether you should let them participate in this chunin exam."
"yes."
“Go.”…
Evening, shopping street.
Uzumaki Naruto was wandering on the street when he met Umino Iruka who came to him in a hurry. Hearing that Umino Iruka wanted to treat him to ramen, he suddenly felt very touched and warm.
On the other side, the gate.
After registering, Yamazaki asked Meidaizi to take Nari around Konoha and buy some daily groceries.
"Brother, what about you?"
"When I go to Hokage-sama, we will always have to face the problem of mistakenly killing Anbu."
"He won't make things difficult for you, right?"
"I don't know, the initiative is in his hands, but don't worry, he must be a thoughtful and steady person. With Mei Daizi and you outside, I believe that he will most likely not take action."
"I understand, brother, you are a hostage, and Konoha is also a hostage."
"That's what it means."
"These people are not as good as you, brother, so can't you use a clone?"
"It will show your sincerity if you go in person. Okay, I'm leaving."
"Really, then brother, be careful, keep your chakra and let me know you."
"certainly."……
Hokage's office.
As soon as Yamazaki entered the door, he felt the pressure from the aura, coming from the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The momentum is very powerful, but for Yamazaki, it is not strong enough, because Yamazaki is not a ninja in Konoha, is not led by the Sandaime Hokage, and is not bound by the title of Hokage.
If you want to overwhelm Yamazaki in terms of momentum, it's not enough to rely on status and murderous intent, only pure strength and huge amount of chakra.
At this point, to be honest, Yamazaki is used to facing a more powerful chakra - Sperm Whale Yukihime.
"Sorry, Hokage-sama, I'm late because I have to clean up."
Seeing Yamazaki's calm and composed look, the Sandaime Hokage crossed his hands and placed them on the table, "It seems I have to admit that I really underestimate you."
"This question is really hard to answer. Do you blame me for not letting you see it?" Yamazaki sighed, and then released two ice coffins from the Iron Rat's space. "I'm very sorry. They happened to be within the attack range at the time, so they were implicated.
Got in."
"Are these the only explanations?"
"I don't know what to say. I can only say I'm sorry. This is not the result I want. If you think you want any compensation, please tell me, Hokage-sama."
Feeling the anger and pain of the Sandaime Hokage, Yamazaki looked at him calmly.
After a long silence, the Sandaime Hokage waved his hand and said, "This matter ends here, but Miyamoto Kokai's favor has been repaid by us in Konoha."
"Well, let me take the liberty to say a few words. First, please take good care of the underground forces with roots outside. Second, keep the ANBU people away from my enemies and our brothers and sisters. Otherwise, if something like this happens again, I will
All we can do is return their bodies to you, if they still have their bodies at that time."
Yamazaki said angrily and then bowed and left. Anyone who didn't look knew that the Sandaime Hokage's face was very bad, but just like what Yamazaki said to Meidaizi, we were both hostages. With Meizi outside, the Sandaime Hokage would not
