Naruto: The hardworking model who realizes his dream is actually the white moonlight of the ninja wo

Kakashi suddenly remembered something about the wall clock in the Hokage's office.

This watch is quite old, it was bought when the first Hokage just took office. At that time, there was a good story - the Hokage's watch was made by the Hokage himself.

The frame is indeed made of wood, and it looks very solid. After so many years, this clock is still beautiful. But it also has some traces of time.

I don’t know when it started, but everything in the Hokage’s office has become a symbol of the Hokage.

The second generation didn’t replace the watch to keep it as a keepsake, but what about the third generation?

When the Sandaime first took office, Kakashi was still a newborn baby, and all he could hear were rumors.

Although the truth of this is entirely up to the listener to judge, anyone with a discerning eye who knows Sarutobi Hiruzen will be able to see it.

First, they refurbished the equipment in the Hokage's office, and then they made a big fuss about their origins - as if to prevent everyone from not knowing that these were the good things left behind by the first Hokage.

That year Kakashi was still an Anbu, a new kid who had just crawled out of the abyss.

The Yondaime had just left, and Konoha was still in the process of reconstruction. It was amazing that despite the heavy losses, none of the "good things" left by the first Hokage were damaged.

Are these objects more important than the people in the village?

Although he climbed out of the abyss, it was only a physical abyss. The Yondaime and his wife died, Rin died, and Obito died too.

Can a child who can’t even find the meaning of life really be called a living person?

He grabbed the gray book and stuffed it back into his arms before the mission arrived.

Go to work, do the task. Don't think about those things, just be a machine that does the task.

Paralyze yourself and stop thinking. Only in this way can Kakashi have a chance of survival.

ANBU Kakashi and Kai stood side by side, they became the last ANBU to clean the Hokage's office.

It is strange that the first stop for post-disaster reconstruction is the Hokage's office.

“This is the last one.”

"Kakashi-senpai."

The Hokage's office was empty except for the two ANBU. Kakashi stared at the clock on the wall, his expression dull, and he didn't even hear what Kazuki said.

"Kakashi-senpai?"

if...if...

The clock looked so flawless, whether it was the outer frame or the moving hands inside, it looked like it did before the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion.

If only time could stop right here...

If that happened, he would definitely smash the broken watch immediately - with the manpower used to protect these objects, I wonder how many villagers could be saved.

If there could be a butterfly effect and the dominoes fell, would Minato have a chance of survival?

This is disrespectful and impolite to the dead!

Kakashi was pushed by Jia and finally came back to his senses: "What did you say?"

Jia is not stupid. How could he not know what Kakashi is thinking when he sees his senior looking so absent-minded?

We were all children who were all alone here, and there was no difference between me and my predecessors. On the contrary, the predecessors who were willing to save me were very precious among this group of people.

"There are traces of Wood Release on this watch."

Jia said this without any context: "If you are not a Wood Release user, you probably can't tell."

So, this is indeed a clock made by the first Hokage himself.

But so what?

"But Shodaime-sama is only the Hokage, not a watchmaker."

"There are always some deviations in the production of parts..."

"Perhaps the first generation did not expect that this watch would be used for so long."

Jia seemed to chuckle and took a half step towards Kakashi: "The parts of this watch... are also made by Wood Release. Over time, they will naturally age."

The outer shell is cared for by the Sandaime every day, and coated with rosin wax oil, so it can naturally escape the ravages of time in a cunning way, but what about the inner strength? What about the inside that cannot be touched?

"This clock is made of one piece. If you want to open it, you must break the outer shell."

Jia was in tune with Kakashi's thoughts and answered the question in Kakashi's mind naturally: "Senior, trees are part of time."

"This watch is so noble, but it is inaccurate."

"Every month that passes, it slows down by about a tenth of a second. As time goes by, aging and errors become more serious."

Kakashi forced a sneer, but felt a little relieved.

A watch that is so well cared for cannot even fulfill its duties?

"Has anyone else discovered this besides you?"

His tone was cold, and this watch was exactly the same as its current owner. The village was right in front of him, and the only one who would choose to abandon it was that person.

If Minato-sensei were still alive, things wouldn't be like this...

If the seal of the Nine-Tailed Fox had not loosened that day, or...

Uzumaki Naruto was not born.

No, no, no... How could he have such an idea? Even if he was a demon fox, no matter what, Uzumaki Naruto was the last bloodline of Minato and his wife in the world.

They are the most important family members whom they fight to protect.

He is also the hero of Konoha who served as the Jinchūriki to seal the demon fox.

A was playful. He shrugged casually and said, "Who would have the time to question a mythical work of art?"

"Besides, apart from Wood Release users, few people are qualified to discover the problem."

"That is to say..."

Although Jia was wearing a mask, Kakashi thought he was smiling - this kid was obviously more metaphorical than himself before, with his mind full of Danzo-sama who saved him and wanting to give his heart to Konoha, but now he can tease him so vividly.

"Only my senior and I know about this."

"It's useless even if I know this."

Kakashi remained indifferent, but his tone softened a bit: "It's not black material, and it won't be enough to kill you. It's good for small talk."

No?

Is it really useless?

Kakashi's eyes met Kabuto's accurately.

The two of them simultaneously recalled the conversation between them twelve years ago when they were still young.

Clocks have errors.

If so...

The error over the past twelve years should be about one minute.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him was obviously relieved, and was about to stand up from his seat and walk towards the door - as if he wanted to announce his victory, and also to mock the assassin's arrogance.

Kakashi stood by the door, the clone door covered the room tightly, and he almost blurted out: "Hokage-sama, we can't... yet!"

No matter what, we cannot lose Sarutobi Hiruzen now. Every unexpected turmoil in Konoha is a heavy blow to the villagers. Moreover, if Sarutobi Hiruzen died in an assassination, Konoha would surely be shrouded in the fear of the assassin for a long time.

Even the Hokage couldn't escape from the assassin, let alone ordinary villagers?

But the more you fear something, the more likely it is to come. Kakashi saw the Sandaime twitching all over, foaming at the mouth, and his lips turning purple.

The old man couldn't even stand up and fell to his knees, leaving a mess on the ground.

The armor in the dark was no longer hidden. He waved his hand and used wood escape to wrap the space to isolate it from external attacks.

"Lord Hokage!"

Kakashi picked up Sarutobi Hiruzen from the ground, and light green chakra continued to flow into his shriveled body.

“Hehe…!”

It only took a few seconds for his breathing to go from rapid to more rapid, and then to weak. By the time the medical ninja arrived, the old man had already lost consciousness.

"How about it?"

Jingyin pushed the door open and walked in. She had been waiting outside. It was only a few steps from the incident to her arrival. If it was a normal suffocation, she should be able to be saved.

But now...it seems a little different.

As soon as Kakashi's chakra touched Sarutobi Hiruzen's body, it flowed out uncontrollably, like a broken cup, no longer able to receive any input from the outside world.

The silver-haired jonin shook his head and settled Sarutobi Hiruzen according to Shizune's instructions.

There are no clues at all.

There were no assassins, and no unexpected situations occurred.

Without knowing the origin, there would be no clues to provide to the medical team.

Hatake Kakashi was calmer than Hiyo had imagined. He stood aside, helping when called and acting as a guard when he was free.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...

Until the death was announced, everything seemed so natural.

Sarutobi Hiruzen died, his death was unclear and not fair. Hatake Kakashi, who witnessed all this, was unusually calm.
