He naturally recognized the two men in front of him, especially the former, who was a genuine member of the Anbu. Moreover, he was one of the few who had given Lord Danzo a hard time, and had even taken away the 'armor' that the Lord valued highly.
However, such an answer naturally could not satisfy Kakashi Hatake; on the contrary, it stirred up some unpleasant memories for him.
Moreover, these memories began to inexplicably overlap with some recent events:
The man who took down two elite Jonin from Sunagakure amidst a vast army during the Second Shinobi World War (half a year ago, the Uchiha clan who single-handedly used the strength of their entire clan to invade the Land of Water).
The man known as the White Fang of Konoha, whose reputation was at its zenith (the Uchiha, who were praised as the strongest clan in Konoha, the number one clan in the ninja world, and who reclaimed their glory).
The man who abandoned his mission to save his comrades and was ostracized and scorned by everyone (the Uchiha who stopped the commoners from talking nonsense in order to protect the reputation of his clan, but whose reputation plummeted as a result).
The man who died silently, leaving no word behind, leaving himself alone in the world! (The Uchiha who was sealed off by the Root's barrier technique, unable to make a sound!).
"I said, what are you doing here!"
Kakashi Hatake gritted his teeth and growled.
At this moment, his heart suddenly ached.
Because of Kai's presence, the negative emotions that had been hidden deep within his heart began to resurface.
That was a dark period in Kakashi's life, a period that others called cold-blooded.
He was a cold and aloof boy whose personality gradually overlapped with that of Uchiha Ara.
'Ah. '
My eyes are starting to hurt again.
'This cursed eye can only be opened by the loss of a loved one.'
Kakashi Hatake slowly raised his right hand, his fingertips brushing past his mask and landing on the cold Konoha headband.
If the former doesn't give any decent response, he really doesn't know what he might do.
Leopard silently raised his right arm, a cold light emanating from his sleeve, and his two companions behind him did the same.
The reason they let the wilderness in was because the other party possessed the name of the Uchiha.
But these two people in front of me are different.
For Lord Danzo's mission.
For the future of Konoha!
"Oh? It seems you've already made your choice."
Kakashi Hatake's voice suddenly turned cold.
The Konoha headband, symbolizing the Will of Fire, was casually torn off, and a scarlet eye that could never be turned off, forever recording the pain, slowly began to rotate.
The three members of the Root also lowered their posture instantly, and the kunai in their hands emitted a cold light.
None of them paid attention to the newcomer's unusual pupils.
Because the other party had a terrible reputation.
"Kakashi!"
Just as Hatake Shishi could no longer contain his anger, a deep voice, accompanied by a force as solid as a rock, pressed down on his arm.
"Since the Anbu are here, if there are any problems, let's go find the Hokage."
Matt Kay held his best friend's arm tightly, worried that he might make some irreversible mistake.
However, the somewhat oblivious Guy overlooked one thing: if the other party really belonged to the Anbu, then why would Kakashi act as if he didn't know them well?
"Hokage-sama?"
Kakashi subconsciously repeated the old man's name, but it seemed to lack a bit of respect compared to usual.
However, his voice was so soft that even Matt Kai, who was standing next to him, couldn't hear it.
The old days.
When his father was embroiled in endless rumors, no one spoke up for him, not even the respected old man.
Could it be that all the merits that man accumulated were no match for the failure of a single mission?
He didn't understand before.
They even considered the man's act of voluntarily abandoning the mission as a disgrace.
'Ninjas are born to complete missions; they cannot arbitrarily break rules and regulations.'
Kakashi used this excuse to convince himself time and time again.
However, the teammate who could only exist in his memory, the loser who gave him his eyes, angrily told him that his comrades were more important than the mission!
That man, the White Fang of Konoha, is his hero!
That guy was also the only person who had ever been so certain about his father in front of him!
This time, however, it was his family that was in trouble.
Kai didn't understand Root's way of doing things, but he knew it all too well.
If I don't speak up for them now, then who else can save this race?
so.......
Kakashi Hatake's resolve gradually hardened, and the crimson in his right eye intensified.
"Get out of my way!"
Just then, a ferocious roar exploded in my ears.
He suddenly came to his senses and followed the sound to find that three figures had appeared in front of him and Kai.
'White Cloud Mulberry.'
Kakashi recognized the ninja carrying the longsword. Although they hadn't interacted much, he had heard the man's name from other ninjas. He was stationed in the northern border for many years, possessing both great strength and affability, and was an object of respect and admiration for many young ninjas.
The person who spoke up seemed to be Tekuno, a Jonin stationed in the northern border region, skilled in defense.
"What are you trying to do? This is a secret operation; anyone not involved, please leave!"
Leopard roared in a low voice, though a bead of sweat had already formed on his forehead beneath his mask.
Things are really starting to get out of control.
However, this secret operation has only just begun!
"Don't push me!!"
Tekuno did not answer.
As he roared, a special crossbow appeared in his hand, with explosive tags attached to the arrows, the arrowheads pointing directly at the four people in front of him.
What shocked Kakashi even more was that the renowned Jonin Hakuun did not stop it at all!
It seemed that the three people in front of them had already made up their minds.
Was it for the Uchiha clan?
No.
It's a wasteland.
Suddenly, he remembered the boy who was running wildly through the streets of Konoha.
The other party must have come because of the wilderness, after all, that little guy has been to the North.
And that's not all.
More and more ninjas are gathering in the surrounding area.
There are genin, chunin, and a few jonin who are stationed in other regions.
But they all have one thing in common: they were teammates with Huang for a short time.
It was that aloof, taciturn boy who caused them so much trouble as soon as he was assigned to the team, who saved their lives time and time again during missions!
"You forced me to do this."
Staring at the unmoved 'Anbu' in front of him, Tekuno slowly placed his bandaged finger on the trigger, his eyes filled with madness.
'After all, they were people who had long been abandoned by Konoha.'
'It's just that that little guy dragged me back from the clutches of death again.'
He still owes the other person an apology.
Baiyun Yeshan remained silent, but the hand resting on his longsword spoke volumes. The young man beside him did the same, clutching a kunai in his hand.
The three of them will face the consequences together.
No.
It wasn't just the three of them.
Because more ninjas were standing around them.
"Step aside!"
"Get away!!"
"Get away!!!"
"......"
The once arrogant family that no one wanted to associate with has now gathered so many ninjas because of a taciturn and aloof young man.
This scene stirred a torrent of emotions in Kakashi Hatake's eyes.
Those resolute figures were like a ball of fire.
A blazing fire.
Where leaves dance in the air, fire burns ever brighter.
'The Will of Fire mentioned by the Third Hokage has indeed been passed down.'
'But does he even remember it himself?'
