Naruto: All depends on Kyuubi C

A few weeks later.

Hinata, who was inquiring about news in a small village on the border of the Land of Water, was doing her best to ask the fishermen in the village who had returned from fishing.

"Have you ever met these people?"

"Let me take a look, eh? I'm not impressed by this white-haired man. As for this...well, so big...ah, no, what a beautiful girl!"

The fisherman looked at the photo, his eyes shining.

"Are you going to introduce her to me? What's her name? How old is she? Is she married?"

"Well, I just want to ask you if you have seen her?"

"You're kidding, if you've seen such a beauty, how could you forget it?"

The fisherman touched his chin and looked at the photo with the corner of his mouth raised unconsciously: "Little girl, why don't you give me this photo?"

"......Sorry for disturbing you!"

Hinata quickly grabbed the photo, apologized politely, and left in a hurry.

On the other side, Sasuke and Naruto were also doing similar work.

I asked several people, but no one had seen the people I was looking for on the mission.

Another day of futility.

"Why does the village want us to go to such trouble to find these two people? Moreover, we have been asking for so long and no one seems to have seen them!"

Naruto complained after the rendezvous.

"Naruto-kun, it was explained in the mission information given by Kakashi-sensei later." Hinata explained to Naruto very thoughtfully.

"Based on their achievements, they may be to succeed the next Hokage. After all, the current Hokage is old and has to consider his successor."

Sasuke on the side analyzed calmly.

"Successor to Hokage? Shouldn't that be me!" Naruto chuckled, causing Sasuke to give him the same eye roll as Hinata.

"Just kidding, and are their achievements so great? I haven't seen either of them in the village."

"Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama, before this mission, I asked my father about it. These two are adults who have made great contributions to Konoha. They were once known as the most powerful people in the Ninja World War. The legend of the "Konoha Sannin"!"

"Sannin? Who is the other one?"

"Then Father never mentioned it to me."

"Eh? Really? You can't tell from the photo that he is such a powerful person. Is it true?"

Naruto said dubiously.

The two people in the main photo don't look like they are of the same age group at all. Although the white-haired uncle looks a little wretched, Grandpa Hokage is also an old and dishonest person sometimes, so we can understand it. Maybe big shots are like this. Maybe.

But the beautiful sister in the other photo looks to be the same age as Sister Ming, or even younger than her. She is actually a Konoha hero from the previous war years?

"Speaking of which, where is Kakashi-sensei? He only knows how to direct us to work. Where are he and Sister Mei?"

coast.

Watching the rising waves in the distance, Terumi Mei was in a daze.

The sea breeze blew her hair away, and she subconsciously put it to her ears and touched the cup that was handed to her.

She turned her head and looked at the masked white-haired man standing behind her and bending over, and the wine glass in his hand.

"I just bought it. It's a specialty here. I want you to drink it."

Kakashi sat down.

"We are leaving the Kingdom of Water."

"...right away?"

"The Hidan of the Akatsuki organization who was captured before has been fully accounted for. He is the murderer we learned about in Yu Country. He has not been a member of the Akatsuki organization for a long time and does not know much."

"The only thing he knows is that there is another group of people in the Akatsuki organization operating in the Kingdom of Wind. According to him, it is mainly because someone in that group leaked the news during their meeting."

Terumi Mei nodded and took a sip of wine.

"It's not too late. Since we haven't found any other information here, let's go."

"Eh?"

Terumi Mei's answer stunned Kakashi.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to the Kingdom of Wind?"

Terumi Mei stood up and looked at Kakashi's expression in confusion.

"No, I thought you would... How should I put it, why don't you stay in the Kingdom of Water? After all, you are not going back to Kirigakure Village..."

Terumi Mei looked at Kakashi's shocked expression that didn't seem to be fake, then looked at the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly realized: "Oh, are you here to say goodbye to me?"

"Isn't it?"

Kakashi couldn't help but tell what he originally thought.

"I originally thought that you would follow us, waiting for me to change my mind and help you. But now I plan to go to the Kingdom of Wind. You will eventually fight for Kirigakure Village, so it is most appropriate for us to say goodbye here. Of... co-author, do you plan to fight us to the end?”

"Of course!"

Terumi Mei also had a puzzled look on her face: "I see that you didn't even hide it from me when discussing the mission with Brother Naruto and teaching Brother Sasuke. I thought you had already accepted me as your companion."

"I didn't think it was because I thought you could escape death by returning to Kirigakure Village, so I didn't want you to think we were still guarding you until the end!"

"You all know that I will escape death if I go back, so why do you think I will go back?"

"Are you so afraid of death?"

"Who can change Kirigakure Village if I die?"

"Then you just left like this. What you told me before is that everything you have is in Kirigakure Village. The future of Kirigakure Village will definitely not work like this. You have to change..."

"Yes, that's why I have to follow you!"

"What's the use of following us?"

"Don't you want me to join Konoha?"

"so what?"

"I think your idea is very good. My life will definitely be in danger in the Kingdom of Water. I plan to join Konoha as you said."

"Yes... is it?"

Kakashi was stunned, not expecting her to be so obedient.

"Then I will attack the Mizukage as a Jounin of Konoha. According to the temperament of the Fourth Mizukage, if he is not killed by me, he will definitely go to war with you Konoha, so you Konoha will have to help me. .....”

"...Just wait for me!"

Kakashi suddenly stopped Terumi Mei's words, with a dull look on his face: "You actually think so?"

"Otherwise? Did you ask me to join Konoha?"

"That's true, but..."

"Did you say you wouldn't reject me?"

"I mean your commission..."

"You are not hiding anything behind you. You obviously regard me as a companion of Konoha! The advice you gave me was just to help me in such a roundabout way!"

Terumi Meiqiao smiled brightly, drank all the wine in the glass, and let out a sigh of relief.

"It took me a long time to think about it after listening to your suggestion. If I hadn't known that you have a roundabout temperament and can't explain clearly, I wouldn't have thought of this."

"......I'm not......"

"Don't quibble, you said that as long as it is my commission, you will not refuse!" Terumi Mei interrupted Kakashi's words, "Now my commission is here, I want to join Konoha, I want to be Konoha My jounin, you have to make arrangements for me!"

"Of course, since I plan to join Konoha, I must carry out Konoha's mission with you!"

Looking at Mei Terumi's back as she ran away after saying that, and recalling what she had said just now, which could almost be said to be a way of blocking her words with willfulness, Kakashi was stunned on the spot.

I came over to say goodbye to her very sadly, but because of my position, I couldn't help her.

He even thought that this might be his last life-and-death farewell, but why did he end up bringing a time bomb back to his village?
