The Strongest Technician of Konoha

Chapter 172 Contradictions
"Huh? Travel to the country of soup?"

Xuan Yu squinted his eyes, looking at Tsunade who suddenly proposed to him to travel to the Tang Country with a serious face in front of him, a subtle meaning flashed in his eyes.

Those guys, can they finally make a move?
Tsunade nodded.

"Well, I want to go there and relax."

She flicked her hair, which was blown a little messy by the wind, and said, "Recently, my spirit has been tense, and I can't go on like this. Anyway, you said it, and I don't have any clues yet. If that's the case, why don't you go there and relax."

"Row."

Xuan Yu readily agreed.

"Let's go after I go to say hello to Naruto and the others. It's a rare encounter outside the village. It's not good to just leave like this."

"Ah."

Tsunade was not in a hurry, nodded lightly, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Obviously, she was very concerned about this request. Just now she was still thinking about what excuses and methods she should use to fool him if Xuanyu refused. Let yourself go to the land of soup.

After returning to reality, Naruto became a little taciturn.

Izumi quietly disappeared again, hiding in the dark to protect them, just like when he suddenly appeared to help them block the thunder, it seemed that it was because of Sasuke, she didn't want to pay attention to this survivor of the same family, and she didn't want to embarrass Naruto, so she used this kind of half-bait way of dealing with them.

When Naruto returned to the camp, the sky was already dyed red by the setting sun, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

But he didn't care to appreciate it.

In his mind, there was a question that he couldn't think clearly——

Why, Sasuke's brother would kill his parents with his own hands, and slaughtered the entire Uchiha family including Izumi's mother?

He couldn't understand this kind of dehumanizing behavior anyway.

From the perspective of a bystander, if you understand it with the thinking of an observer, there must be some deep-seated reason hidden in it. Although Sister Quan is not interested in this reason, since she said that at the time, it means that this Among them, there must be something he needs to know.

It didn't take long for Kakashi to come back with the intact Datsuna, and then the family was busy preparing dinner.

Kakashi leaned against a tree trunk, and took out the indecent book from the ninja bag that he had read so many times, as sullen as ever.

But he took a few casual glances, and the dead fish eyes looked at Naruto not far below.

"What's the matter? Naruto? You look preoccupied, what's on your mind?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Sakura and Sasuke raised their heads at the same time. Originally, they only looked at him from the corner of their eyes, but now as Kakashi broke the silence, they had no idea.

"Yeah, Naruto, what did Izumi-sama do to you before she left? Why did you become distraught when she just looked at you?"

Naruto shook his head: "Nothing."

Saying that, he didn't look at Sasuke and Sakura, but raised his head and looked at Kakashi seriously.

"Kakashi-sensei, I want to ask you a question."

Snapped.
Kakashi closed the pocket book.

"what is the problem?"

What makes Naruto so serious is definitely not an insignificant question such as what is the pocket book in his hand, nor is it a trouble in cultivation.

Because with Naruto's unbelievable strength, he basically has nothing to guide him in terms of cultivation, and he is basically powerless to help with problems that can trouble Naruto.

Although it's a bit sad for him as the guide Jonin, but the matter is such a thing, he is not a person who wants to save face, there is nothing unacceptable.

"The so-called ninja is an existence like a tool. As long as it is an order, a commission, or a task, you must go through fire and water. No matter what method you use, no matter what sacrifice you have to make, no matter what harm it will cause to others, you must try to complete it. , mission is everything, right?"

Hearing this, Kakashi couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

These words, I feel, have some deja vu.

He was silent for a while, he didn't know what he thought of, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his eyes.

Then, he didn't immediately return to Naruto's question, but asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"because."

Naruto's voice was a little low: "I want to know, if that task may hurt friends, companions, even relatives, parents, or even lose them, as a ninja, when faced with this situation, what should I do?" what to do?"

He did not say such extreme things as the task requiring killing relatives with his own hands. After all, although he has seen it with his own eyes, it is not suitable to ask this kind of thing directly. It is better to be tactful. It's not just those powerful moves that you have learned.

What Kakashi understood was the problems that his father Sakumo Hatake and himself had faced——

What if you need to sacrifice your companions to complete the mission?
But he didn't know that what Naruto wanted to know was a more cruel situation, what happened to the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Itachi's actions to destroy humanity secretly were what he cared about.

After a while, Kakashi lowered his eyes, and his voice became unusually heavy.

"Don't put the important, most cherished person on the scale with other things."

As he spoke, he leaned his entire body against the tree trunk, raised his head, looked at the fiery red sunset in the sky, and said in a deep voice:

"A ninja who fails in a mission is a waste, but a ninja who doesn't know how to cherish his companions is even worse than a waste. If that happens, if I choose, I would rather be a waste. No matter what, I will not let important people Die before me."

Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but flash a flash of splendor in his eyes.

Although what he said just now had nothing to do with what he wanted to know, and he obviously misunderstood the meaning, but these words aroused the softness in his heart and touched him a little.

Sakura was a little surprised.

She didn't expect that this instructor, who was a little dishonest on weekdays, had a crow's mouth, and was slapped in the face for two consecutive C-level missions, could say such thought-provoking words. She couldn't help being a little suspicious. Is the impression and perception too one-sided?

Mr. Kakashi seems to be a person with a story.
Just when she thought so.

clap clap~
Suddenly, there was a burst of applause from the side.

Eh?
She was startled, and turned her head quickly, and suddenly saw a young man and a young woman who was full of mature charm, especially a certain part that she was extremely envious of, appeared behind them at some point.

It was the boy who clapped his hands.

"As expected of Kakashi-senpai, your teachings always refresh me."

The sudden words made Kakashi stunned.

Just now, he didn't notice anyone approaching. He didn't realize the existence of the other party until the other party spoke.

Hearing this familiar voice, Naruto's face suddenly showed excitement. He stood up abruptly, walked up to the young man, and exclaimed: "Brother Xuanyu, you are finally here!"

Although Quan had said before that Xuanyu was dealing with some troublesome things nearby, and he would come over when he was done, but when he met Xuanyu outside the village again, even though he was prepared, he still felt a little pleasantly surprised.

The man who changed his destiny always seemed to appear when he needed it most.
