Naruto: Kakashi is back with the system

In front of the memorial tablet, Asuma and Shikamaru stood in silence. The atmosphere was indescribably solemn and dignified.

It might even be because the Third Hokage was buried not long ago, the atmosphere was still a bit heavy and sad.

The two stood there in silence for a long while.

Shikamaru, who really didn't know how to comfort others, muttered a few troubles in his heart, but still spoke to persuade: "Teacher Asuma, we should prepare to set off."

Well, this doesn't seem to be persuasion. It's not quite like it, but it has nothing to do with it.

But, who cares? As long as it works, right?

Sure enough, at Shikamaru's reminder, Asuma finished the cigarette in his mouth in two or three puffs, "Okay, old man, I'm leaving. I'll come back to see you."

He was about to lead his team out of the village to carry out a mission. A large-scale mission like this would take a month or so out of the village, so he wanted to come and chat with the old man before leaving.

……

Sai slowly opened his eyes, but there was no trace of the dazed feeling of just waking up in his eyes. He found himself in a very unfamiliar place.

He sat up and quickly looked around at the unfamiliar environment.

Light green curtains, light yellow sheets, and a table cluttered with books and scrolls.

The overall layout of the room is very warm, and you can tell that the person who decorated the room put a lot of effort into it, something Sai has never experienced before.

He felt his body up and down and found that the wounds had been properly treated.

It's ironic that he didn't suffer any injuries during this mission, but when he returned to the village, he was seriously injured and almost died.

Before going to the Heaven and Earth Bridge, Lord Danzo called him over alone.

Sai was excited and thrilled at that time.

That's Danzo-sama! He is the god and faith of every Root member.

However, Lord Danzo called him over to instruct him to silence the spy before he could speak.

This was really beyond Sai's expectations, and he didn't quite understand.

Didn't Lord Danzo say that we are the roots of Konoha, the darkness of Konoha, silently dedicating everything to Konoha and turning it into the nutrients for its thriving growth?

Isn't it good for Konoha to catch spies? Why did Danzo ask him to silence them?

How would Sai know?

There is only so much power there is. In recent years, as Minato's power has increased, Danzo's power has shrunk at the same time. Compared with three years ago, it can be said that it has shrunk significantly.

The most direct impact of the reduction in power is that many of his informants have been cut off and he is not as well-informed.

Fortunately, he still held an absolutely sharp blade in his hand, which was the root.

He also received news that Yamato was going to take Team 7 to the Tiandi Bridge to meet with the spies of the Akatsuki organization.

But what he didn't know was that this was just a spy planted by Sasori in Konoha, not a spy from the Akatsuki organization.

Danzo thought that the shameful deeds he and Zetsu had done were about to be exposed under everyone's noses.

So he kept on asking for help and finally got Sai into the team by giving up some of his interests.

As long as the root is still in his hands, everything else is just external possessions. He can have as much as he wants.

Although Sai didn't understand, it didn't affect him from doing what Danzo told him to do.

Okay, okay, he admitted that he let Yakushi Kabuto win when fighting him.

Although the other party does not need it.

The consequence of failing the mission is to go to the punishment room at the root.

What he didn't expect was that the punishment this time was so severe. If he hadn't been rescued, he would have probably gone to the Pure Land to reunite with his brother...

He couldn't let the kind-hearted person who saved him down get involved!

Thinking of this, Sai lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed and leave.

Suddenly, Sai's eyes were fixed on the door.

The door was suddenly opened gently, and a woman with fiery red hair appeared in front of Sai.

"Oh, you're awake."

Kushina opened the door and found that the child Naruto brought back was awake.

"Naruto, your friend is awake~" Kushina leaned back slightly and shouted outside the room.

Sai was stunned. Naruto? It was Naruto who saved him?

So this red-haired woman is the wife of the Fourth Hokage, the former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina?

"Good day, Lady Kushina. My apologies." Sai quickly stood up and bowed to greet her.

"Hey kid, you're still injured! Lie down quickly. Why are you being so polite?"

Even after all these years, Red Hot Chili Pepper is still not used to all the red tape.

"Naruto didn't allow us to take you to Konoha Hospital, otherwise you would be much better than you are now."

"No need to go to the hospital, this is good enough, thank you ma'am. Thank you too, Naruto."

Sai looked at Naruto who appeared at the door and thanked him sincerely. The smile on his face was much more sincere than when they met before.

"Oh, you all must be hungry. Then you guys take your time chatting. I'll go prepare some food for you." Kushina got up and left, leaving the space to Naruto and Sai.

"What's the matter with your injuries?" Naruto asked seriously, he was seriously seeking an answer.

Even after experiencing numerous setbacks and hardships, Naruto is still as sunny and cheerful as before, but he is no longer as stupid as he was when he just graduated.

He could naturally see that the injuries on Sai's body were not caused by a normal mission.

Moreover, they came back from the Tiandi Bridge together, and only a few days had passed.

Sai also slowly put away the smile on his face.

"Naruto, if you really want to do this for my own good, then stop asking."

"..."

On the other side, Asuma rushed to the Fire Temple with Team 10 and several other teams of Konoha ninjas.
