Simultaneous travel: Not eating beef

With the problem resolved, Bai Yu has officially returned to Konoha.

At the same time, he was promoted to an elite Jonin and joined the Anbu as a subordinate of Yuhi Shinku.

Of course, it wouldn't be appropriate for someone as strong as him to start from the bottom, so he also had some subordinates.

such as……

Kakashi!

Shiraha's return caused a brief stir, and it is said that Danzo even went into Minato's office to argue with him.

This conversation can be heard coming from inside.

Danzo: Minato, people like Hyuga Hakuha should be incorporated into Root, and I will train him into a qualified ninja.

Minato: Danzo, regarding this matter, the Third Hokage and I have reached a consensus. Hyuga Shiraha has joined the Anbu, and this outcome will not change.

Danzo: Is that so? Even my words are useless?

Minato: It may be presumptuous of me, but it is indeed the truth.

Danzo: Minato, you'll regret this!

Minato: Danzo, the advisor, I am the true Hokage!

Danzo slammed the door and stormed out, reportedly quite angry.

When the rumors reached Bai Yu's ears, they brought tears to his eyes.

It's finally my turn!

"You regret my shadow" is an acknowledgment of a genius and a strong person. Although it has changed from the third generation to the fourth generation, it is still a model of "You regret my shadow".

Fourteen years! I, Bai Yu, have finally reached this point.

During his few days back in Konoha, Shiraha was very busy because many people invited him to meals.

I made plans to have a barbecue with my friends, but it's a shame Kakashi didn't come.

I haven't seen Kakashi since I got back, and I don't know what he's thinking.

On the first day, he invited his friends to dinner, and on the second day, he invited Uchiha Fugaku to dinner. Fugaku personally went to Shiraha's house to invite him over.

He gladly accepted and even met Itachi and the newborn Sasuke at his house.

To everyone's surprise, Fugaku Uchiha actually wanted Sasuke to become his apprentice.

Bai Yu refused, not wanting another little brat to bother him, saying he would wait until Sasuke grew up.

On the third day, I met up with Richa for dinner.

Upon meeting, he immediately made the one-year-old Neji kneel down and become his disciple.

this……

Bai Yu couldn't refuse, so she eventually gave in.

It just so happens that Sheren now seems to have gained a companion.

Compared to Toneri, Neji was rather taciturn; at just over a year old, he looked like a little adult.

This is the Naruto world, and the precociousness of these kids is unbelievable.

Moreover, due to the difference in physical fitness, they can run and play freely, and speak fluently and smoothly.

Seven days later, Bai Yu's vacation ended, and he had to go to the Dark Division to take up his new post.

Tiger mask, ANBU uniform, and a samurai sword on his back.

At the Fire Shadow Rock, Bai Yu met with his subordinates.

Three kinds of masks: fox face, cat face, and bear face.

Wearing a tiger mask, Bai Yu sat down cross-legged and said, "Cat, Bear, please wait somewhere else. I need to talk to the fox alone. I'll call you when I need to."

They had no objections, as for the fox...

He is Kakashi.

After they left, Bai Yu removed his mask and teased, "Kakashi, you're really heartless. I came back and you didn't even come to greet me. I had to use my superior status to see you."

Kakashi, wearing a mask, remained silent for a long time before lowering his head and saying, "I'm sorry."

Bai Yu said, "Why are you apologizing? Are you apologizing to me?"

The most tragic man in the ninja world, bar none.

Orphaned at a young age, he watched helplessly as a close friend died, was forced to kill another close friend, and eventually even lost his teacher and his wife.

Compared to Naruto, Kakashi is the most pitiful and the one who most deserves to turn to the dark side.

Life is a tragedy.

"Come with me." Bai Yu waved, put on his mask, turned around, and jumped off the Hokage Rock.

Kakashi followed without saying a word, and the two soon arrived at a cluster of tombstones.

"Lead the way, I've never been here before," Bai Yu said.

Knowing what he meant, Kakashi led the way.

Soon, the two arrived at three tombstones crowded together.

Looking down, Bai Yu almost died of anger.

Bai Yu was furious. Pointing at a grave, he complained bitterly, "How dare you! I've been back for a week, why haven't you demolished my grave yet?"

And another thing! Why hasn't anyone cleared the weeds off my grave?

The tombstone on this grave not only bears Bai Yu's name and other information, but also a black-and-white portrait of him.

Perhaps they really forgot, and no one remembered it at all. If he hadn't come here, this grave might have remained there for a while longer.

Next to the white feather tombstone is Obito, and next to Obito is Rin.

"I'm sorry," Kakashi apologized again.

Sitting cross-legged, Bai Yu patted the lawn and said, "Sit!"

Although he wasn't good at comforting people, he still decided to offer some words of comfort to Kakashi, because Kakashi was radiating a very strong negative emotion, as if he were someone who could commit suicide at any moment.

After sitting down, Kakashi said again, "Sorry."

Bai Yu crossed his arms and said with dissatisfaction, "Why do you keep apologizing? You don't owe anyone anything."

Is it because of my grave, or Rin and Obito's graves, or something else...?

"I..." Kakashi had already taken off his mask, opened his mouth but no sound came out.

Bai Yu glanced at Obito's grave and said, "Do you feel sorry for Obito for not being able to bring him back, or perhaps you feel sorry for Rin?"

Do you feel guilty, think it's all your fault, and feel like you're an unlucky person?

My mother is dead, my father is dead, even two of my teammates are dead, and now they can't even manage to keep their graves in order?

That hit Kakashi right where it hurts; he feels like he's an unlucky person.

Kakashi remained silent, staring blankly at Rin's tombstone.

Bai Yu continued, "There's no need for that. You haven't wronged anyone. Your father and mother made their own choice."

Obito is just a tragedy in this war. You're not the only one who lost friends in this war. Obito and Rin were my friends too. I won't become like you.

Or perhaps you hate your own powerlessness because you witnessed their deaths.

Then…

Tears welled in Kakashi's eyes as he bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry! I couldn't protect them. If... if it were you, it would definitely be different. You could definitely protect them, just like you protected Guy and the others. You could have..."

sorry! "

Excuse me, you think too highly of me.

Bai Yu frowned, unsure of what to say.

Maybe he can do it now, but he couldn't do it two years ago.

The old man with age spots was always watching the ninja world and his plans. If Bai Yu dared to interfere, he would definitely crawl out of the ground and remove the obstacle.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu patted his shoulder and said, "You hate your powerlessness, so cheer up, train hard to become stronger, strong enough to protect everything you cherish!"

Just like before, come challenge me whenever you have time. I will help you become stronger. Also, Obito's eye, this eye can only be a burden to you now.

I have an idea, how about I seal your eyes, and only remove the seal when needed, so they won't be a burden to you all the time..."

After a half-hour lecture, Kakashi broke down in tears as if venting his frustration.

He had been suppressing his feelings for too long, and finally Bai Yu came to listen.

Matt Kai isn't a good fit; his thought process won't allow it.

On a tree outside the cemetery, a man in a vortex mask snorted coldly, and then the space spun and sucked him in.

Patting Kakashi on the shoulder, Shiraha glanced back at that spot and murmured in a voice only he could hear, "Foolish Obito..."
