Ninja World

Chapter 74 Inquiry

"What do you want from me?"

There was a bench outside the barbecue restaurant. Kakashi and Uchiha Tatsu didn't sit down, but just stood beside the bench.

Then he asked directly.

Konoha is very lively at night.

In particular, the location of the barbecue restaurant is in a bustling commercial street, where there is an endless stream of pedestrians.

The bright lights above illuminated the profiles of the two people.

The silver-haired boy hesitated slightly.

He found Uchiha Tatsu just on impulse, without any deliberate purpose. He wanted to ask something clearly, but he didn't know how to say it.

"That mission..."

Kakashi Hatake spoke.

The lips covered by the black mask moved slightly, and the eyes looked plain but contained sadness.

More than a month has passed since the incident, and Kakashi has shown a calmness and strength beyond his years.

He never mentioned this matter to others again, but this did not mean that he would completely forget and let go of his father's death.

He is the hero of Konoha.

But he died amid rumors.

"You must also participate, Uchiha Tatsumi."

Kakashi's eyes fell on Uchiha Tatsu, and his voice was not strongly hostile, but it was not friendly either.

The door of the barbecue restaurant opened, and a group of drunken people walked out. A few Konoha ninjas wearing forehead protectors hugged their shoulders and laughed.

There was some brief silence in the atmosphere here.

Uchiha Chen was startled and hesitated slightly.

Both root missions and ANBU missions are confidential and cannot be revealed to anyone, including your closest relatives.

Of course, Uchiha Tatsumi doesn't pay that much attention to discipline on weekdays.

Sometimes when chatting after dinner, he would tell Uchiha Haru some interesting things about the mission and what he saw and heard in the world outside Konoha.

But Kakashi asked...

"Before that mission started, I heard my father mention you..."

Kakashi seemed to see Uchiha Tatsu's concerns, his eyelids drooped slightly, and then he spoke.

Hatake Sakumo was the commander-in-chief of that joint mission. He naturally had a list of all participants, and it was natural that this young man's name would be remembered by him.

Uchiha Tatsumi.

In fact, as the ANBU leader, Hatake Sakumo knew him far more deeply than he imagined.

"Father...said you were a true genius."

Kakashi's tone had no ups and downs as he recounted the conversation between father and son the night before departure.

"talent."

"diligence."

“Even when performing tasks, it’s very clean and tidy.”

"He has fighting wisdom and is a rare genius ninja."

Kakashi calmly spoke the words of praise without feeling embarrassed at all, and the smile on Uchiha Chen's face also faded a little.

It seems that he has been observed by ANBU a long time ago.

Just like the task given to you by the roots...

an hour ago.

A figure fell behind Uchiha Chen, and when he looked over, he made a gesture.

So he found an excuse to temporarily leave everyone's sight and found a quiet corner, where a masked man was already waiting.

A quest scroll.

"Monitor Hatake Kakashi."

Slowly converge.

This kind of surveillance is not deliberate. Uchiha Chen's current strength is not enough to be foolproof, let alone in this period when sensitivity has not disappeared.

Just let him pay more attention to useful information in the limited contact.

The roots were focused on the son of the former ANBU leader.

"He hopes that I can be like you and put more energy into practicing."

"I can contribute to the village in the future."

The sound continues.

The lantern above the head shone brightly, shining on the cheeks of the two teenagers.

Uchiha Tatsu's cheeks went from a slight sinking to a slight smile once again.

"It's still early to talk about making a contribution..."

"It's just a small amount of effort."

The voice is calm.

"Then you won't deny it?"

Kakashi then asked.

He seemed eager to know the details of that mission.

"ah."

Uchiha Chen nodded and did not deny it this time.

Since you want to get Kakashi's information, you first need to have formal communication between the two people.

He was a little confused at first as to why he deliberately asked him to spy on Kakashi, but now that he thought about it, he might have had a very clear idea of what the boy wanted and knew.

Kakashi came to the door himself, and Uchiha Tatsu naturally had no reason to refuse, so he smiled slightly and spoke.

"What do you want to know?"

Kakashi's somewhat dull eyes slowly glowed after receiving Uchiha Tatsu's affirmative answer.

"all."

About that mission...

What Uchiha Tatsu knew was only what he could relate to.

The specific details of the mission may only be understood by Hatake Sakumo himself or the few Jonin captains involved.

There is only one genin, Uchiha Tatsum.

There were also a large number of chuunin, like a small-scale war, going straight into the desert.

Then the large army dispersed into small armies.

The team that Uchiha Tatsu followed was led by a chuunin, who was also the one who was finally rescued by Uchiha Tatsu. Their main job was to clear the tail of the teams led by several jounin and kill them.

Then they got the news that a team led by jounin was attacked by Sunagakure ninjas, and the whole army was wiped out. The ANBU jounin who led the team was killed on the spot, and all the other chuunin were captured.

It was at that time that Hatake Sakumo decided to put aside his mission and take the lead in rescuing his captured ANBU comrades.

At that time, no one thought that it would eventually lead to such consequences.

Includes many people involved in the mission.

The atmosphere fell into silence again.

Kakashi didn't say anything for a long time, but his eyes were indeed a little red.

He knew very well how much torture his father had suffered after this mission. The once vigorous and vigorous man had turned into a haggard walking zombie.

It had been a month since his father committed suicide, but this was the first time Kakashi learned what kind of mission it was.

Father...and why did he die?

"Things...that's it."

Uchiha Tatsu looked at Kakashi's face, and then said calmly.

He did not reveal any doubts or coincidences.

He is unwilling to do these things that may cause trouble. With Kakashi's talent, he may be able to know more in the future as he grows.

Naturally, there is no need to say much.

He can't move Danzo now.

Thinking of this, a picture flashed through Uchiha Chen's mind.

Eyes without emotion.

The indifference of risking one's life.

The final madness and resentment.
