Chapter 225 Kisame: Kakashi, Recognize Whitebeard as Your Father! Kakashi's Request!

At night, Kakashi had already finished dinner and returned to the Jounin bachelor's apartment in Konoha.

But the foreboding feeling lingering in my heart did not dissipate.

This made Kakashi frown slightly.

Kakashi thought for a moment and set a small trap at the door of his room.

Once someone touches this little trap, more than a dozen thousand invisible branches will instantly pierce the opponent's body.

At that time, the noise coming from the door could also alarm him.

Kakashi was taking a bath, doing laundry and cleaning in the apartment as usual...

Until it's time to sleep.

Still nothing strange happened.

This made Kakashi wonder, was he a little too neurotic? Are you thinking too much?

"……strangeness."

Kakashi shook his head, turned off the lights in the room, walked to the bed, and sat on the soft bed.

The moonlight outside the window shone in, just shining on a broken knife placed on the table beside the bed.

Kakashi's eyes were quite complicated.

Because this broken knife was his father's relic.

The sword was not broken by his father Sakumo Hatake, but by Kakashi who broke this relic of the ninja sword in a battle.

Kakashi sighed and said to himself while facing the knife: "After so many years, I am already an adult. In fact, I have already forgiven you for leaving me alone."

Kakashi grabbed the broken sword, put his thumb on the blade, and gently pushed the blade, and the blade appeared in front of him.

Originally, the blade of this ninja sword was thirty centimeters long.

But now, it only has ten centimeters in length left.

If you have to use it, maybe it can only be used as a fruit knife.

Just when Kakashi was about to put down his father's belongings and prepare to go to bed, his eyes suddenly froze.

Because he saw the moonlight outside the window was shrouded in a shadow.

Although it only covered a corner, it aroused his vigilance.

Kakashi instantly grabbed a shuriken in the ninja tool bag next to him and quickly threw it out the window without looking back.

puff!

The shuriken was firmly planted on the wall of a building in the distance.

A small bat was struggling.

Kakashi turned and looked out the window, frowning deeply: "Bat? Not a human?"

But he remembered the bad premonition he had during the day.

"call……"

Kakashi breathed out: "Forget it, let's not sleep tonight!"

Kakashi has performed various tasks in the ninja world over the years. He also participated in the Third Ninja War. He could not count the number of ninjas he offended.

There was no guarantee that someone with a grudge against him would sneak into the Leaf Village and try to assassinate Kakashi Hatake.

It's not like this has never happened before, Kakashi only encountered it a few years ago.

…

at the same time.

On the roof of a building a hundred meters away from the jounin's bachelor's apartment, behind a water tank, there was a masked root ninja hiding.

But his mask is not a root mask, but a mask he wears casually to conceal his identity.

"What a keen sense, worthy of the famous Hatake Kakashi."

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on his face under the ninja mask.

He covered his arm that was scratched by the shuriken: "Fortunately, I caught a bat in time to cover it up."

Naturally, the root's actions cannot be so hasty. This root ninja was sent here to investigate Kakashi's daily whereabouts.

In the end, even he didn't expect...

Kakashi was almost discovered!

The root ninja simply used an unskilled medical ninjutsu on his injured arm, and then carefully poked half of his head out from behind the water tank.

The root ninja wanted to continue to observe the situation on Kakashi's side.

But as soon as he passed by, he realized that something was not right.

The root ninja frowned, and the expression under the mask was a little confused: "Strange, why is he sitting on the bed motionless?"

"Huh? Wait!"

Suddenly, the root ninja was shocked: "Could it be a clone?!"

"Earth Release: Heart Beheading Technique!!!"

A hand emerged from the foot of the root ninja. The palm grabbed the root ninja's ankle and directly pulled him downwards.

"Oops!"

The expression of the root ninja changed drastically, but his reaction was also timely. He held a senbon in his mouth and spit it out at his feet in an instant.

Whoosh——

The sharp Qianbon shot out of the air and was about to pierce the hand grabbing his ankle.

At the critical moment, the hand quickly let go, and Qianben dug deeply into the cement floor on the roof.

Realizing that he had been discovered, the root ninja threw several smoke bombs at his feet without hesitation, jumped up, formed seals with his hands, and used a ninjutsu on the bottom.

"Thunder Release: Thunder Bullet Technique!!!"

The root ninja opened his mouth and spit out a thunder ball, which fell directly on the roof of the building below.

Suddenly!

A series of dazzling arcs of electricity covered the entire roof of the building below.

The ninja at heart didn't like fighting, so he turned around and ran away without hesitation.

His jutsu was obviously just to delay Kakashi.

When the dazzling lightning and diffuse smoke on the roof gradually dissipated.

Only then did Kakashi emerge from the ground.

Kakashi, wearing only pajamas and a pair of cotton slippers, stood here quietly.

His expression suddenly became cloudy and uncertain.

"Thunder Release Ninjutsu..." Kakashi looked at the man's retreating back. In his sight, the man's back was so small that it was no different from a sesame seed.

Kakashi shook his head: "It's too far away...it seems like we can't catch up."

"That guy doesn't look like any of my enemies, otherwise there would be no need for him to run away. When an enemy sees me coming out, shouldn't he fight me to the death?"

If he wasn't an enemy, then who was spying on him, Kakashi?

Is there anything about myself worth monitoring?

Kakashi was very confused.

Is it the Whitebeard Pirates?

This strange idea was instantly rejected by Kakashi as soon as it popped into his mind.

Because this is impossible.

What's more, according to Kakashi's understanding, no one in the Whitebeard Pirates is good at lightning escape.

Is it Lord Hokage?

Just as the previous strange idea was dismissed, another strange idea popped up.

But that doesn’t make sense!

Is it necessary for Hokage-sama to send someone to monitor him?

Isn't Kakashi a subordinate of Lord Hokage?

Kakashi couldn't think of a reason, so he decided to explain the matter to the Hokage tomorrow.

However... Kakashi looked helplessly at the messy roof, with a hole under his feet that he had just drilled.

Looking down through this hole, you can see the residents below, looking up with horror on their faces.

Both sides looked at each other.

Kakashi was a little embarrassed.

"You go to the Hokage to reimburse yourself tomorrow!"

Kakashi was so stared at that his scalp was numb.

I can only put down these words and leave quickly.

…

The next day, Kakashi came to the Hokage's office early in the morning.

The first time he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he told everything about what happened last night.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking his pipe, listened quietly to Kakashi telling him everything that happened last night.

"Hokage-sama, this is probably the case."

Kakashi said solemnly: "I think the ninja who monitored me last night was not simple."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly exhaled a puff of second-hand smoke, put his pipe on the table, and looked up at Kakashi in front of him: "A ninja who is good at lightning escape?"

"Kakashi, do you have any suspicions?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

Kakashi shook his head: "Lord Hokage, I don't have anyone to suspect for the time being. I don't know the other party's purpose. He doesn't seem to have any intention of taking my life."

"Well, the village will help you find out about this matter." Sarutobi Hiruzen replied vaguely to Kakashi.

Then, he said to Kakashi: "Kakashi, you have been with me for several years, right? I have something important to tell you."

Business?

I was secretly followed and monitored by a guy who was suspected of being a Jonin. Isn't this a serious matter?

Although Kakashi knew that his life as a ninja was in danger, it might not be comparable to some major events in the village.

But can't Hokage-sama pay more attention to it?

Even if it's just verbal attention?

Although Kakashi didn't say anything, his eyes didn't show anything wrong.

But the mood will definitely not be good.

At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a solemn tone: "Kakashi, the village has been short of manpower in all aspects recently. With your talents, you should not just be a squad leader in ANBU, let alone be a close person all the time. Protect me."

"I have decided to let you join a department with more difficult tasks. This department is also affiliated with the ANBU." Hiruzen Sarutobi said every word, and he continued to say, "That is the 'root'!"

This sentence fell upon him.

Kakashi was stunned.

"Gen?" Kakashi thought for a while, and he declined politely: "Hokage-sama, you should assign me to another department. Because my personality may not be so compatible with Danzo-sama."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "Danzo no longer manages the roots. The wrong things he did before were enough for him to stay in Konoha Prison for ten years. At present, the roots of Konoha are controlled by Mito Monen. manage."

Kakashi fell silent.

He knew what the Hokage said was bullshit.

No one in Konoha knows that even though Shimura Danzo has been imprisoned in Konoha Prison, most people at the root are still loyal to Danzo.

In particular, some of the old members of the Roots were only loyal to Danzo and did not take Mito Katobu's orders into consideration at all.

The Third Hokage knew this and arranged himself into the root... Kakashi couldn't figure out what the Hokage wanted to do.

Did you offend this Hokage-sama in some way?

"Kakashi, this is the highest order from me, the Hokage." Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered: "The Roots need talents like you to lead the Roots to the right path. Don't let me down!"

Kakashi was silent for a few seconds: "...Yes, Hokage-sama."

That's all, he is just an ANBU squad leader.

The man in front of him is the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha Village.

Due to emotions and reasons, I must obey the orders of Lord Hokage.

Kakashi silently took off the Anbu mask and placed it on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk. He said, "Hokage-sama, I will report to Mito Kaden-sama in a few days."

"Well... go ahead!" Hiruzen Sarutobi forced out a smile.

Until Kakashi left the Hokage's office and closed the door.

When Kakashi's figure disappeared from sight, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile faded.

"Kakashi, don't blame me for neglecting you." Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed the pipe on the table, took a puff and muttered to himself: "What you have done recently makes it difficult for me to trust you! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen would not leave someone he didn't trust by his side.

Even if that person is very useful.

In fact, he didn't know that Danzo was collaborating with "Uchiha Madara".

Sarutobi Hiruzen arranged Kakashi to the root simply to keep Kakashi away from him and to keep Kakashi away from the core of Konoha.

In addition, Kakashi's personality and Danzo's personality must conflict with each other.

If only the two of them could fight each other at the root.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is still looking forward to it.

…

at the same time.

outside the building.

"Kakashi! I'm back! Hahahaha! What a coincidence!" A passionate laughter sounded from Kakashi's side: "I just came back from a ninja mission outside, and I bumped into you from Come out of the Hokage building."

Then, Metkai, wearing a ninja vest, gave Kakashi a thumbs up and showed his big white teeth: "Is this the coincidence of youth and passion? Hahaha!"

Kakashi: "..."

As soon as the front foot was kicked out of the ANBU by the Third Hokage and forced into the base, the back foot encountered someone who gave him quite a headache.

Last night, I met another mysterious person who was following me and monitoring me.

Does Kakashi feel like he's been a little too unlucky lately?

Should I find a temple and worship the gods and Buddhas there?

"Kakashi! When I finish the task, let's go find Sharko!" When Metkai walked quickly to Kakashi, he took advantage of the absent-minded Kakashi and pushed him over.

Kakashi: "!!!"

The two big men's buttocks collided with each other, and Kakashi was staggered directly by Gai.

There were several black lines hanging on Kakashi's forehead: "Idiot, I'm not in the mood right now..."

Before he finished speaking, Kakashi paused, and he began to look at Metkai.

This look made Kai look a little unnatural: "Kakashi, what's wrong?"

Kakashi thought for a few seconds, then he took a deep breath and said, "Kai, can you do me a favor?"

"Oh?" Kai's eyes lit up instantly: "Of course you can! Of course you can! Absolutely!"

Kakashi said: "You hand in your ninja mission first, and then we will go find Kisame."

"Okay!" Kai blew out two puffs of white air from his nose.

As Kakashi's friend, Kai never wanted to see Kakashi so depressed every day.

Therefore, as long as Gai is in Konoha for a day, he will always stick to Kakashi like a dog-skin plaster.

The purpose is naturally to restore Kakashi to his original state.

At least...let Kakashi have more motivation to live!

Now, hearing Kakashi proactively asking for a favor, Gai was immediately excited.

He felt that with his unremitting efforts, a hole was finally opened in Kakashi's closed heart!

"Kakashi! Wait for me! Ten seconds!" The drama in Kai's mind moved him to tears.

He patted Kakashi hard on the shoulder.

Immediately it disappeared with a "whoosh" sound.

…

Time passes from early morning to morning.

Today, the weather in Konoha is not very good, and it is drizzling in the sky.

At this moment, three grown men were sitting in a tavern in Konoha Village.

One is Kakashi, the other is Gai, and the third is Kisame.

"What? Hokage-sama asked you to join the Roots?!"

Kai's voice was like a loudspeaker with full volume. The sound wave even made the sake in the wine glass tremble slightly.

Kakashi hurriedly covered his right ear. He turned around helplessly and looked at Kai next to him: "Please... if you keep saying this, the whole village will know that I am going to become a root ninja."

Kai didn't pay attention to Kakashi's complaints. He was speechless: "How could the Hokage only arrange for you to enter the root? The root, that is a place darker than the ANBU!"

In ANBU, Kakashi always had dull eyes.

If Kakashi went to a root that was more extreme than Anbu...

hiss!

Kai took a breath, and he felt that he might be able to see Kakashi's body one day.

Moreover, there is a high probability that he committed suicide.

"The root?" Kisame said "tsk": "I have an impression. I heard that it is a sharp blade in the darkness of your Konoha Village. This department is notorious in the ninja world!"

Having said this, Kisame smiled ferociously: "I also heard Naruto tell me that the Roots of Konoha once wanted to kill Shisui. Those guys also had conflicts with the Whitebeard Pirates many times."

Kisame looked at Kakashi: "Kakashi, if you join this so-called root, maybe we will be enemies in the future."

Hearing this, Kakashi had a headache.

There were many reasons why he didn't want to join the roots, and this was one of them.

Once you join the Roots, you will inevitably be under the jurisdiction and influence of Danzo.

By then, what if Danzo does something else?

Could he become the enemy of the Whitebeard Pirates?

"Kakashi, I'm going to tell Mr. Hokage today to get you out of the root!" Kai slapped the table and said excitedly: "Or, let Mr. Hokage arrange me into the root!"

"Tsk, tsk, I have a suggestion." Kisame suddenly said: "Kakashi, why don't you join the Whitebeard Pirates? With your father as your backer, no matter which old guy in Konoha you are, I dare to transfer you to a place you don’t want to go.”

Kakashi: "..."

Although Kisame's words sounded a bit outrageous, Kakashi discovered that this was indeed a solution.

If you recognize Whitebeard as your father, then all complicated problems will become very simple.

wrong!

Why do I always think about this?

Kakashi hurriedly put this strange thought aside and said in a deep voice: "One more thing. I found that I was followed by a strange ninja last night."

Kakashi changed the subject and continued: "The other party must be coming for me, but I don't know what his purpose is."

"Kai, Kisame." Kakashi took a deep breath: "I want to ask for your help."

Kakashi didn't have many real friends.

He felt that Kisame and Kai were two.
