On the night of genocide, it would be reasonable to annihilate the Shimura clan.

Two days later.

On an empty lawn somewhere in Konoha Village, a group of people were sitting around a campfire.

"We are fully prepared and can leave for Konoha Village at any time."

"This mission is very dangerous, so I hope you all come back alive."

Kakashi solemnly explained: "Especially you new ninja school graduates, you must remember that this mission is just to train you. If you encounter danger, don't be brave and run away quickly. "

Kakashi glanced at the graduates of the Ninja School and said, "Of course, you can give up. We don't need any strong people anyway."

He looked at Neji and Yuhi Kurenai: "Neji, Yuhi Kurenai, this mission is thanks to you two."

Neji stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Kakashi-sensei, we will definitely work hard!"

Yuhi Hong also said respectfully: "Thank you, Kakashi-sensei."

The Third Hokage said from the side: "Kakashi-sensei, since they are ready, let's set off!"

Obito and Kakashi both looked at the Third Hokage, who nodded seriously: "Let's go!"

"etc!"

Naruto, who had been eating silently, suddenly shouted: "Grandpa Hokage, I haven't finished eating yet!"

The third generation scolded: "Eat quickly! This mission is dangerous, don't waste time!"

Naruto curled his lips in displeasure: "Humph, this is not your home, so your control is too lenient."

Although Naruto's voice was not high-pitched, it happened to spread throughout the pasture.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

For a moment, everyone around burst into laughter, and even the Third Hokage turned pale.

The Third Hokage shouted angrily: "Try saying something again?!"

"Tch!" Naruto rolled his eyes and continued eating.

Sandai became angry: "Asshole, is this your attitude?!"

Naruto stopped eating, wiped his mouth slowly, glanced at the Sandaime, and said indifferently: "Sorry, I don't support your decision."

"What do you mean?" Sandai asked confused.

Naruto sneered: "It means, I refuse to participate in this mission."

Hearing this, Sandai suddenly changed his color.

The third generation said in a deep voice: "Naruto, do you know that you are disobeying your superiors' orders!?"

"I don't." Naruto shrugged: "Your mission has nothing to do with me, why should I abide by the rules?"

The third generation frowned: "You don't have to carry out the mission."

"It's a pity, I don't want to." Naruto replied calmly: "Besides... I still have to practice!"

"Practice?!"

Sandai was stunned: "Where did you come from practicing?!"

"The path to Hokage, of course."

Naruto looked like he was taking it for granted, which made Sandai furious: "Nonsense! Who gave you such an idea!?"

Naruto wrote lightly: "My father instilled it in me!"

The third generation was speechless, and finally sighed and said: "Forget it, Naruto, no matter what, you must follow."

"I have arranged for Anbu to protect you. You can retreat at any time, but after the mission is over, you must return to Konoha no matter what!"

Naruto shook his finger: "Well, let's find another way. In short, I refuse!"

"You..." The third generation was about to reprimand, but Naruto interrupted him: "Hokage-sama, I think you have made a mistake."

"oh?"

"We are partners and comrades-in-arms, but we are not in a superior-subordinate relationship."

"I am me and you are you. You have no right to restrict my human rights and freedom. I don't want to be controlled by anyone!"

Naruto's eyes were firm: "Unless I die, I will not do anything to obey my superiors or orders."

Sandai's face was uncertain, and he slowly let out a breath of turbidity after a long time.

"I see."

He stared at Naruto and said in a stern tone: "I respect your choice, but this is not something you can disobey my orders. If you continue to be so willful, I will expel you from Hokage."

Naruto sneered, "Don't be ridiculous, Uncle Third Generation."

The third generation stared at him with a livid face: "You'd better think about this kind of thing carefully!"

Naruto was not afraid: "You can try. If you really drive me out, then I will never stay in Konoha."

He paused and added: "Of course, you can try to capture me or even kill me, but I believe that with your current strength, there is no way to hurt me. In the end, you will only achieve nothing. , What's more, if I do this, I will tell everyone that Konoha is not worthy of being a village that I, Naruto, are loyal to."

After saying that, Naruto stopped talking nonsense, stood up and left directly.

Looking at Naruto's leaving figure, Sandai clenched and unclenched his fists, then clenched them again, repeated several times, but in the end he still did not dare to stop him.

On the side, Kakashi glanced at him and comforted him: "Sandaime-sama, please don't be angry. Children are always rebellious."

The third generation sighed and waved his hand to indicate that it would not be a problem. Then he changed the subject and asked, "What is the process of this year's Chuunin Exam?"

Kakashi explained: "According to the original book, this year's second round of exams is divided into three parts."

"The first event is the team competition."

"Each team is divided into four groups to explore the forest, look for clues, hunt phantom beasts, kill phantom beasts, etc."

"The second test is the cooperation and cooperation of each team. In other words, our teams must cooperate sincerely, work together, and face the enemy in unison without any slack."

"The third test is to hunt alone. Hunt wild ninja beasts, obtain their blood or chakra, and deliver it within five days."

Hearing this, the third generation nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "So, what is Naruto's third test?"

Kakashi replied: "The third test is teamwork and hunting phantom beasts, and obtaining the phantom beast blood or chakra. Moreover, Naruto's target is the phantom beast king, which is also one of the most dangerous phantom beasts in Konoha. Thunderstorm!"

"Thunderstorm?!"

Sandai took a breath and murmured: "It's actually it..."

Kakashi said: "Yes, Thunderstorm is one of the most difficult phantom beasts in the history of Konoha, and it is also the most powerful phantom beast. It has devastating destructive power and is Konoha's nightmare!"

After hearing Kakashi finish talking about the power of thunder and lightning storms, the third generation fell into silence.

After a while, the third generation took a few deep breaths and seemed to have figured it out. He looked at Kakashi and said: "So Kakashi, you are responsible for this task. What do you need to complete it perfectly?"

Kakashi smiled and said: "It's very simple. The third generation, you just need some help. This can reduce losses and boost the morale of the juniors."

The third generation nodded: "Just tell me, if you need anything, I will ask Uchiha Sasuke to come over right away."

Kakashi nodded slightly and said: "Sandaime-sama, please wait a moment, I will contact him immediately."

"Um."

The third generation nodded, then he glanced at Kakashi and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Kakashi couldn't help but wonder: "Sandaime-sama, do you have anything else to do?"

The third generation hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak out. He stared into Kakashi's eyes and whispered: "Kakashi, there is something I must discuss with you."

The third generation's expression was very solemn and extremely serious, and even his title was changed.

Kakashi raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind.

"uh-huh--!"

Kakashi groaned and sat on the ground holding his head.

"Kakashi, what's wrong with you?"

The third generation was startled, and hurriedly came over to support Kakashi and asked: "What happened, Kakashi?!"

While the Sandai was holding Kakashi up, a huge amount of spiritual power poured into his body, instantly breaking through his mental barrier and invading his soul!

"not good!"

Sandai screamed, then gritted his teeth, and his whole body's momentum exploded.

"Boom——!!"

The manic chakra swept out of the third generation's body, forming a huge vortex.

"Eight gates of Dunjia, the sixth gate!!"

"Bang kaka~"

The third generation's figure instantly expanded, and his height exceeded about two and a half meters.

At this time, his whole person exuded an extremely dangerous aura!

"Damn mental erosion, he almost took away his body!"

The third generation's heart was pounding and he was sweating: "Fortunately, I just used the Eight Gate Dunjia in time, and this mental power was blocked by me!"

Kakashi's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but a relaxed and comfortable smile appeared on his face. He looked at the third generation and said jokingly: "Hey, third generation teacher, your spiritual power has been cultivated well."

"Hehehehehe!"

Sandai grinned when he heard this and scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's okay, it's okay."

He suddenly realized something and quickly supported Kakashi: "Hey, how are you?!"

Kakashi shook his head weakly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Thanks to the timely use of the secret technique by the third generation teacher to offset the erosion of this mental power, otherwise I might have turned into a vegetative state now."

The third generation looked apologetic: "Oh, it's all my fault for being careless. I forgot that there is Granny Chiyo between you and Naruto!"

The third generation looked up at Kakashi and asked with concern: "How is it? Is it okay?"

Kakashi spread his hands helplessly: "I can't die for the time being."

"However, I need to rest for a while. As for this mission, I will leave it to Teacher Sandaime."

The third generation nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will never show favoritism in this competition. I will arrange for the best ninjas to go and ensure that it ends smoothly!"

"Okay, then I'll gather my subordinates first and wait until you recover."

Kakashi nodded: "Well, thank you, sensei."

…

other side.

Konoha training camp, Class 9.

Jiraiya, Shikamaru, and Kakashi stood on the playground with solemn expressions.

Shikamaru asked: "Jiraiya-senpai, are you sure we want to participate in this group hunting event?"

Jiraiya nodded: "Of course, since I have promised others, I will not break my promise."

Jiraiya glanced at Shikamaru and continued: "Although you are strong enough to be the leader this time, your character is too weak. You don't know how to resist when encountering difficulties, and you only evade. So, this This hunting trip will be led by me!”

"Uh, Jiraiya-sensei, but your injury..."

Shikamaru hesitated and said: "Jiraiya-sensei, can your body really support hunting activities?"

Jiraiya waved his hand: "Don't worry, I can still hold on! Moreover, with the help of Naruto's Byakugan, our chances of winning will increase a lot!"

Shikamaru sighed: "Well, since Mr. Jiraiya has made a decision, let's implement it. However, I want to ask, is there really no special situation in this event? For example... is there any danger? …”

"Dangerous?" Jiraiya touched his chin, thought for a while, and said: "If I have to say, we have encountered a difficult character, but I don't know the specific situation."

Shikamaru asked: "Difficult character? Who? Could it be..."

"Yes, it's Hatake Kakashi!" Jiraiya interrupted Shikamaru's guess.

"It's him? Is he also participating in this hunting activity?!" Shikamaru said in shock.

Shikamaru knew that Kakashi, as the future of Konoha, had the potential to be as good as Jiraiya, and even better than Jiraiya in some aspects.

Kakashi is a genius!

And Hatake Kakashi is definitely not weak. Compared with Jiraiya, Shikamaru hopes to fight with Kakashi, because he knows that the distance between him and Kakashi is still far.

"Kakashi..."

Shikamaru clenched his fists and muttered to himself.

He took a few deep breaths to ease his inner emotions and changed the subject: "Then, I wish Hatake Kakashi a victory."

Jiraiya smiled and patted Shikamaru on the shoulder: "Haha, don't worry, we are not vegetarians. Kakashi is no exception, Shikamaru, I look forward to the scene of you defeating Kakashi!"

After Jiraiya talked with Shikamaru, he went to find Sai and told Sai about it.

After listening to Sai, he pondered for a while and said: "In this case, then the identity of Kakashi senior can't be hidden. Then, Jiraiya, please announce the identity of Kakashi senior."

"What?!"

Jiraiya looked at Sai in surprise and said: "Sai, are you crazy? You know that many people in the village hate Kakashi senior. If you announce Kakashi senior's identity, won't he be assassinated?!"

Sai said calmly: "That's why Kakashi senior's identity must be announced, because in this way, Kakashi senior will become safe. After all , Kakashi is now the hero of the village and the inheritor of the Ninja Clan! If Kakashi is attacked, I think other heroes in the village will not sit idly by. "

Jiraiya frowned: "Sai, you know my concerns. This situation is not in line with the rules."

Sai paused slightly: "This is Kakashi's own choice, whether it is his own choice or the choice of other people in the village. Jiraiya, please do as Kakashi wishes."

Jiraiya was helpless: "Well, I'll try my best..."

He picked up a pen and wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Kakashi.

...

In the Konoha Forest, on a tree.

A young man in a red robe leaned against the tree trunk, his eyes closed, and he seemed to fall asleep.

"Buzz~"

A wave suddenly sounded.

The young man in a red robe opened his eyes, his eyes were full of coldness, he stared at the tree and whispered: "It's you again!"
