Chapter 158 (2/2)
Working together, the Great Villages erected an information blockade around Konoha. So now it became extremely difficult for them to spy on the enemy, especially on Suna, located in the middle of the desert.
While Hiruzen was thinking about this, Anbu Shinobi appeared in the office and made a report.
”Lord Hokage, the Shinobi Kiri are in motion.”
Hiruzen whispered thoughtfully, ” Hmm...what they're going to do...”
After thinking for a while, he looked at the Shinobi Anbu and said: ”Let Kakashi will lead the team and follow the movement of the Kiri shinobi.”
About a year ago, Kakashi was promoted to the rank of Jounin. With good merits and high mission performance, he has become an excellent Shinobi to rely on.
”This guy really was a terrifying genius.”
At the thought of Eroiche, in the eyes of Hiruzen flashed with regret.
People are very contradictory and illogical creatures. When Yeruashi was alive, Hiruzen feared that such a powerful, unruly Shinobi would threaten his status and the stability of the village.
And when Yeruashi disappeared for two years, which almost means death, he began to feel regret, because if Yeruashi was still with them, Konoha's power would have increased by another step.
”Forget it.”
Hiruzen sighed and shook his head, rejecting the idea of Erase. Perhaps becoming a Silver Flash hero of Konoha posthumously was the best course of action.
...
The outskirts of Konoha.
Cemetery.
On this memorial stone, just below the middle, there is a name that is much larger than the others, this name is Hatake Yeruashi.
As a rule, if a shinobi goes missing for more than a year, he is immediately recognized as dead, but the official recognition of Yeruashi as dead was postponed until the last, and only almost two years later, his name was engraved on this memorial stone.
”...”
A girl stood in front of the memorial stone and stared at it speechlessly, it was Nohara Rin.
Next to the name of Eroiche, has a fairly large size, it was a small engraved name is obito Uchiha.
”Rin, you're here again...”
Kakashi's voice came from the side, and he looked at the memorial stone and said: ”Come on, Rin. Lord Hokage has given us a mission.”
Rin silently placed two bouquets of flowers in front of the memorial stone, wiped the tears running down her cheeks, and turned to Kakashi, ” Let's go.”
As they were leaving the cemetery, Kakashi turned, glancing at the memorial stone once more, and whispered: ”It doesn't make any sense...big brother will definitely come back.”
It just might happen twenty years later
Because earlier, he had already met a person who had traveled twenty years into the past with the help of this Dragon Vein.
”Kakashi...”
Rin looked at Kakashi and bit her lip.
Although outwardly it seems that Kakashi behaves coldly and does not care about anything, but in Rin's opinion, he suffers even more than she does. After all, among the names engraved on the memorial stone were his teammate and older brother.
Rin sighed and he smiled stiffly: ”Yes, I believe that Erase not leave this world so easily.”
Kakashi glanced at her and continued walking forward.
