Escape From Konoha

"Hatake Kakashi? Forget it, your name doesn't matter. What did you mean when you just said that my training is meaningless?"

He didn't care about Kakashi's name. Compared with these, Sasuke cared more about what Kakashi said. His training was meaningless, which made him frown in displeasure.

Because his shuriken training method was taught by that hateful man Uchiha Itachi.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Sasuke had to admit that Itachi's understanding and application of shuriken was also an outstanding shuriken expert in the Uchiha clan.

"literal meaning."

Kakashi didn't pay attention to the dissatisfaction in Sasuke's tone and still smiled.

"I see. Did you come here specifically to find trouble?"

Sasuke looked serious, and quickly took out the shuriken from his ninja bag, holding it between his fingers, ready to fire it at Kakashi at any time.

"No, no, I'm just telling the truth. If you follow this step-by-step training method and say something ugly, you will never be able to surpass Uchiha Itachi in your lifetime."

Kakashi said looking directly into Sasuke's eyes.

call out!

The shuriken was aimed at Kakashi's body and fired unceremoniously. Before Sasuke could see Kakashi's technique clearly, he saw that all the shuriken he fired had been set on Kakashi's right index finger. spinning up.

It was cracked instantly.

Sasuke was not surprised by this. Although the opponent looked lazy, he was still a Jonin of ANBU after all. There was a huge gap between him and Genin. It was expected with such strength.

"If you came to mock me, then your goal has been achieved. I don't want to waste my training time by talking nonsense with you now. You can leave."

Sasuke snorted, extremely unhappy with Kakashi showing off his strength.

But the situation is stronger than the man. No matter what tactics he adopts, it is impossible to defeat the Jonin.

This is a gap in absolute strength that cannot be made up by some cleverness.

"Although it is troublesome, at least you have inherited the name of Uchiha. Let me explain my purpose directly. I am a private teacher entrusted by the Hokage to teach you from today on."

Kakashi scratched his head, he knew that there was no point in being hypocritical with Sasuke here.

Although the other party is very young, he is not stupid, especially after experiencing such a tragic event as genocide, which also promoted his mental growth. Despite this growth, it may be filled with all kinds of twisted and extreme ideas of revenge.

"Hokage-sama!?"

Sasuke had a shocked expression on his face and stared blankly at Kakashi.

"That's right. Now, unlike in the past war years, countries basically maintain a stable balance, so the Ninja School will not allow early graduation."

Mainly during the Second Ninja War and the Third Ninja War, too many young seeds who had not grown up died on the battlefield.

In order to ensure the supply of new blood, he passed a high-level meeting and entered the ninja school. He must study for six years before graduating.

This is a kind of protection, and it is also to ensure that the backbone of Konoha's future can be compensated and restored.

But this kind of words cannot be said directly. They need to be artistically processed and declared to the outside world.

"According to the standards of graduates during the past war, you are basically qualified now. But due to the different times, you are not able to leave the Ninja School now. This will cause inconvenience to your growth. Many things in the Ninja School have already changed for you. It's useless, you have lost the possibility of going further. Therefore, in order not to waste your talents, Hokage-sama specially entrusted me to come and teach you personally."

Kakashi explained.

Sasuke was slightly stunned.

Although he didn't understand national affairs, he already understood the general meaning of Kakashi.

To put it simply, Lord Hokage valued his talent, so he sent his confidant Anbu Jonin to train him privately.

Thinking of this, Sasuke became faintly excited.

If a Jonin came to teach him personally, then he would be able to become stronger faster, and then...kill Uchiha Itachi and revive the Uchiha clan!

"That is to say, starting from today, you will teach me one-on-one, right?"

Sasuke asked impatiently, looking at Kakashi with a much more pleasing look.

"No."

Kakashi shook his head.

"Well?"

Sasuke looked at Kakashi dumbfounded, not knowing what Kakashi's denial meant.

Isn't it the Hokage's order to teach him? Why shake your head in denial?

Kakashi smiled and said: "Although this is an order from Lord Hokage, I also have my own arrogance. If you are not particularly satisfied with me, no matter how good your talent is, it has nothing to do with me."

"But this is Hokage-sama's order, isn't it?"

"I am the head of the ANBU. If I insist on appealing, the Hokage will consider my heavy workload and withdraw my order."

ANBU Minister!

Sasuke's eyes widened.

He knew that Kakashi was a jounin in the ANBU and had a high status, but he did not expect that he would be such a big shot as the ANBU minister.

In terms of status, he is on the same level as his father, the former Konoha Guard Captain Uchiha Fugaku.

"By the way, your brother Uchiha Itachi was also one of my subordinates in the past."

"Itachi, he..."

"How is it? Are you excited? But unfortunately, even I am not completely sure that I can defeat Itachi, and I may even be defeated by him."

In this sentence, Kakashi did not lie.

The blood inheritance limit of Sharingan is too terrifying.

Before Itachi awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi had extremely high confidence, but after Itachi awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, if he encountered one, he would need to deal with it carefully. Even he may capsize in the gutter.

Itachi is still an all-round ninja. He has no weakness in physical skills, illusion skills, or ninjutsu. He is also good at analyzing the enemy's weaknesses and is proficient in tactical analysis. This is the most terrifying thing about Itachi.

Sasuke calmed down from his excitement.

"If you don't mention this kind of thing for now, how on earth would you teach me how to practice?"

Although Kakashi's words meant to praise Itachi, he did not say that he would definitely fail against Itachi.

Therefore, if you learn the skills from Kakashi, you have a chance to kill Itachi.

In this way, how to get Kakashi to teach him how to practice has become a problem that needs to be overcome now.

"To be honest, when Lord Hokage first ordered me, I refused in my heart. But when I saw your last name, I couldn't help but think of my past companions on the battlefield."

"Is he also a member of the Uchiha clan?"

"Yes, later on the battlefield, his whereabouts were unknown. And during the war, there is no difference between his whereabouts and sacrifice. So, for the sake of the companions who sacrificed in the past, I plan to give you a chance. If you can pass me If you pass the assessment, I will personally teach you."

Kakashi said.

"What if I fail the test?"

"Hokage-sama's order cannot be withdrawn, but I will select a jounin from my subordinates to teach you."

"Is he stronger than you?"

"I don't think anyone in ANBU can surpass me in strength."

Kakashi looked at Sasuke with indifferent eyes.

"That's it, tell me the content of your assessment. I will make you willing to teach me!"

Sasuke's face was filled with a confident smile.

Looking at Sasuke's overconfident face, Kakashi pondered for a moment before looking at Sasuke seriously and said to him: "The content of the assessment is very simple. I only have one request for you, and that is - give up hatred."

Sasuke's smile softened, and he looked at Kakashi with dark eyes.

Give up...hatred?

What kind of requirement is this?

If he gives up his hatred, what is the meaning of his life as an Avenger?

◎

"Give up hatred? Why do you use this teaching method, Kakashi?"

After Kakashi and Sasuke came into contact, the Third Hokage Hiruzen learned the specific situation and called Kakashi over, with confusion on his face.

Before Kakashi and Sasuke came into contact, Hiruzen had already unblocked some of Uchiha's Sharingan information. With Kakashi's past understanding of Sharingan, he was qualified for Sasuke's personal teacher position.

He didn't believe Kakashi didn't understand that the Sharingan needed negative emotions to evolve.

Whether it is the Sharingan in the form of an ordinary Magatama or the Mangekyo Sharingan, every evolution means sacrifice and blood.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan became famous all over the world under this premise, and became a powerful war weapon for the Uchiha clan against their enemies.

It is also a force that Konoha's top brass is afraid of.

If he gives up hatred, then Sasuke will lose the Sharingan, a sharp weapon. For Konoha, if it cannot cultivate a powerful Sharingan ninja, it will be a relatively loss-making investment.

"I have a general understanding of the Sharingan information sent to me by Lord Hokage. With the traditional education model, negative emotions such as hatred can indeed be used to stimulate Uchiha Sasuke, allowing Uchiha Sasuke to gain stronger power in a short period of time. . But this situation often means that there will be risks."

"That is to say, giving up part of the Sharingan's power to re-establish the balance, right?"

Hiruzen understood what Kakashi meant.

"Yes. The Sharingan is a dangerous double-edged sword. The more advanced the Sharingan, the more dangerous it is. If Sasuke hurts Konoha for revenge, this is something I cannot allow."

Kakashi said firmly.

Hiruzen took a deep breath. Indeed, he had also considered such a situation.

However, he knew far more information than Kakashi, and he was more worried about Sasuke's future instability than Kakashi.

From an emotional point of view, Konoha feels ashamed of Sasuke. He hopes to take care of Sasuke as much as he can, not just the agreement with Itachi.

However, from a rational perspective, he does not allow too many personal relationships.

Although Kakashi's method may weaken the power of Sasuke's Sharingan, it also makes Sasuke's temperament more stable. And even if Sasuke betrays Konoha in the future, Konoha will still be able to suppress Sasuke.

This kind of balance that can be grasped in the hand makes Hiruzen quite satisfied.

"It's just...will Sasuke give up his hatred?"

Hiruzen asked.

Hatred.

This stuff can be a catalyst for strength.

Even he, the Hokage, is not exempt from vulgarity sometimes.

The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law all died in the Kingdom of Wind, and he also hated Qianye Baishi. However, considering the strength of both parties and the current international situation, he had to make a compromise.

Even in order to redeem Jiraiya, he had to hand over the inheritance of the Konoha Uchiha clan and cancel the wanted order for the traitorous ninja.

The hatred in Sasuke's heart was stronger than that of Hokage himself, and his mind was also more immature, and he did not know how to compromise and endure.

Hiruzen couldn't see Sasuke giving up hatred as a catalyst for power.

Bearing the blood feud of his clan, Hiruzen couldn't imagine the pain and suffering that Sasuke was going through.

It is undoubtedly more difficult for Sasuke to give up revenge than to reach the sky.

"I'm not asking him to give up completely, I just don't want him to sink into the quagmire of hatred and be swallowed up. I hope he can grasp hatred instead of becoming a tool for revenge. What's more, I will use myself to Give him what you have learned, and it can, to a certain extent, replace the shortcomings of the Sharingan."

After listening to Kakashi's narration, Hiruzen began to think.

Soon, Hiruzen nodded and said: "Since you are sure, then do it your way. You are right, the Sharingan is an unstable double-edged sword, especially if it has been blinded by hatred. With Sasuke's eyes, if he continues on the path of revenge, he may do extreme things that endanger Konoha."

As for making up for the lack of Sharingan power, Hiruzen believed in Kakashi.

Whether it is the sharp and swift White Fang sword technique or the Thunder Release Chidori system ninjutsu developed in conjunction with the sword technique, it is enough for Sasuke to become a powerful jounin in the future.

"Yes, I'm going down then, Hokage-sama."

"Go ahead. The ANBU will also need some snacks, so the security team can relax a little."

Kakashi nodded and exited the office.

"I didn't expect that the old man would interfere in the battlefield in the Kingdom of Rain. Fighting on two fronts, I always feel that the battle on the chessboard is getting more and more intense."

When the Demon Country's military began to indirectly intervene in the Rain Country's civil war with its armed forces, Kazuhime also received a message from the military early, asking her to make corresponding arrangements in the Wave Country.

However, as the international situation changes, the military will definitely make other arrangements based on the original plan. Yiji has long expected this.

After all, the opponent is the Kingdom of Fire, which is more powerful than the Kingdom of Wind, and there are other major powers involved. If we continue step by step, there will definitely be big problems in the end.

"Miss, now is not the time to consider matters in the Country of Rain. The current situation in the Country of Waves is not optimistic either."

The person discussing things with Yi Ji in the conference room was his deputy Kado.

Although the situation in the Country of Rain will affect the situation in the Country of Waves, the Country of Rain is too far away from here after all, so we can only trust the military's deployment there.

"I know that according to what you said, the people of Poland have great resistance to international workers' and peasants' cooperatives."

Yiji learned this part of the news.

"Yes, the development was relatively smooth at the beginning, but in the past day or two, the direction of the wind has slowly begun to reverse. Diplomats from the Country of Waves seem to be accusing us of trying to create internal unrest in the Country of Waves. Many of them The people of Wave Country also seem to be quite resistant to cooperatives."

Cardo told the bad situation of the matter one by one, with a fierce light in his eyes.

"Is it the Daimyo of Wave Country who is the first to attack? I didn't expect him to have these abilities."

"After all, he is an official figure in the Country of Waves. He has organized several operations to exterminate pirates in the past. Although they ended in failure, he has accumulated a high reputation among the people. As long as he denies the workers' and farmers' cooperatives, he can indeed cause such a situation Influence."

Cardo said.

"It seems that repaying the debt did not put too much pressure on him. He also had the time to interfere with our actions."

"The Kingdom of Fire is behind the scenes, and it has nothing to do with the will of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Waves."

Although the Kingdom of Ghosts is powerful, the Kingdom of Fire is closer to the Kingdom of Waves.

To veto the proposal of the Daimyo of the Country of Fire, even if the Country of Fire will not do anything on the surface, there are a hundred ways to make the Daimyo of the Country of Wave lose face.

Whether the Daimyo of Wave Country took the initiative or was forced to do so, his position was unimportant from the beginning.

The Kingdom of Ghosts needs to find an excuse from him, and the Kingdom of Fire also needs such an excuse.

The situation has evolved to the present, and it is already a contest between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Fire.

"What about the merchant alliance on the isolated island? Have they started taking action too?"

"Yes, a group of unidentified ninjas have moved in to deal with us. From now on, Miss Ichiki must pay attention to her own safety."

Carry out a direct attack from the orthodox reputation, and secretly arrange for the death ninja to carry out the assassination plan.

The Lonely Island Businessmen Alliance, which has backed the Country of Fire, can definitely do such a thing.

It is also the best way to end the conflict in the Kingdom of Waves as quickly as possible.

Although it may cause subsequent troubles, delaying it will be detrimental to the Fire Nation and the Merchant Alliance.

The other party wants to cut through the mess quickly and end everything.

The Kingdom of Ghost's interference in the civil war in the Kingdom of Rain has alerted the Kingdom of Fire enough.

"According to the original plan, it is not yet time to completely break up. The cooperative's accumulation is still too weak. Let's arrange for the newspaper office to control public opinion first."

The Fire Nation's suppression was faster than expected, which meant that the top management of the Fire Nation was already aware of the dangers of this cooperative.

Then the next actions need to be more cautious.

"Yes. Then I'll go down and make arrangements."

Cardo nodded and retreated.

◎

The land of thunder, Yunlei Gorge.

In the vast white mist, thousands of mountains and rivers seem to be standing in it.

In front of one of the mountains, the muscular fourth-generation Raikage transformed into lightning and charged towards the mountain like a bull.

boom!

The huge mountain suddenly shook, and was struck by lightning, opening a huge hole.

Countless large pieces of gravel fell on the Fourth Raikage's body, and were shaken away by the lightning armor on the Fourth Raikage's body.

The Fourth Raikage moved his shoulders, making a crisp sound full of explosive power, which made the Fourth Raikage nod with satisfaction.

"How's it going, Boss?"

Darui, who was serving as an escort, walked over with a broad-bladed sword on his back.

"I have mastered the basics. Sugi Nomura's internal organ strengthening secret technique is indeed extraordinary."

The Fourth Raikage said so.

In the past, when a rock fell on his body, it might have caused a shock and pain inside his body, but now that a boulder fell on his body, his body could no longer feel the so-called shock pain.

This also means that Suginomura's internal organ strengthening secret technique is effective and complements his Thunder Release Chakra mode to a certain extent.

"It seems that next time you encounter the Hyuga clan's soft fist, the boss won't have to worry too much."

As the guardian of the Raikage, Darui naturally knew the paranoia of the Fourth Raikage and was sincerely happy for the Raikage's strength.

But the Fourth Raikage did not get carried away by the increase in power.

He said rationally: "No, I can't tell yet whether Hinata Ayane's soft fist is useless to me."

"Um?"

"That woman is not that easy to deal with. Only by actually fighting her will you understand how terrifying her soft fists are. Only by polishing your internal organs into hard steel may you be able to defend against her soft fists."

The Fourth Raikage looked serious.

"Ah, this is really a terrifying existence, the Hyuga clan..."

Seeing his boss deal with it so solemnly, Darui couldn't help but feel secretly frightened, and raised Hinata Ayane's danger level by another level.

At this moment, a figure appeared not far away and used the teleportation technique to rush over.

He is another Jonin guard, Nozomi, who is proficient in illusion and medical ninjutsu, and is also a powerful sensory ninja.

"Xi, what's wrong? You're in such a hurry?"

The Fourth Raikage saw Nozomi coming over with something to do, so he had to temporarily interrupt the rest of the training.

"Lord Raikage, Mabuyi just sent someone here. I have something to discuss with Lord Raikage. It seems to be a very important matter."

"Mabuyi?"

The Fourth Raikage raised his eyebrows.

After standing there and pondering for a moment, the Fourth Raikage made a decision.

"In this case, there is nothing we can do, Darui, pack your things."

"Yes, Boss."

Darui responded solemnly.

Yunlei Gorge belongs to the territory of Yunyin Village, but it is in an extremely remote area of ​​Yunyin Village, quite far away from the Raikage Building.

About half an hour later, the Raikage returned to the Raikage Building with Darui and Nozomi, as well as the ANBU jonin lurking in the dark.

"Mabuyi, what happened? You sent someone to call me back? Don't you know that my cultivation is at a critical moment?"

As soon as he entered the office, the Fourth Raikage questioned his personal secretary dissatisfiedly.

Mabuyi bowed slightly to the Fourth Raikage.

"I'm sorry to ask you, Raikage-sama, to come back at this time. However, there is a very important matter at the moment, which must be decided by Raikage-sama himself."

As he spoke, Mabuyi glanced at Darui and Nozomi behind the Fourth Raikage.

Darui and Nozomi looked at each other, nodded, and quietly exited the room. All the ANBU around them also temporarily left, leaving only the Fourth Raikage and Mabuyi.

"What on earth is going on, so solemn?"

The Fourth Raikage came over and continued to ask.

Mabuyi took out a letter and handed it to the Fourth Raikage.

"This is a letter sent by the Daimyo. According to the messenger, it is related to the Kingdom of Demons. The messenger said that only the Raikage-sama is allowed to read it."

After saying that, Mabuyi also stepped aside.

"The country of ghosts?"

The Fourth Raikage became even more curious. He took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the paper inside, spread it out in front of him and began to scan it.

After reading it, the Fourth Raikage stuffed the letter into the envelope with a heavy expression on his face.

After standing there for a long time, the Fourth Raikage said to Mabuyi: "Mabuyi, select twenty Jonin and three hundred Chuunin to be on standby in the village at any time. I have to go to Daming Mansion now. I have something important to do. Negotiate.”

"Yes, have a safe trip, Raikage-sama."

Mabuyi bowed slightly and respectfully sent the Fourth Raikage away.
