The setting sun gradually fades away from the horizon.

As night falls, the duel in the woods has already reached a fever pitch.

"Shurikens are useless against me!"

Calculating the speed and trajectory of the Fuma Shuriken, Kakashi ran two steps in the direction where the branches extended, and then passed the Fuma Shuriken that was coming at high speed with an extremely exaggerated posture, like a jumping horse.

"As expected of Kakashi-senpai!"

Suddenly the voice of Uchiha Jiyue came from below:

"But, how should you avoid it next?"

"呲呲——!"

The sound of breaking through the air that should have gone away, instead of weakening, became increasingly clear. Kakashi glanced up subconsciously and immediately discovered that there was actually a Fuma shuriken in the air that was pressing down rapidly.

"The shuriken hiding in the shadow of the shuriken?"

"This is the art of shadow shuriken..."

Not being in this assessment, being forced to use the Substitute Technique by Uchiha Satsuki was Kakashi's last pride. Therefore, he could only use his age advantage to resist this attack like Funano Daikoku did in the morning.

"Eight-door Dunjia? Open the door, open it!"

As the door opened, Kakashi's body was liberated, and his speed and strength reached a new level. He pulled out the short sword behind him, swung upwards, and directly flew away the second Fuma shuriken.

However, the harsh sound of breaking through the air was weakening, but at the same time, Kakashi heard the sound of the wire pulling the air. Without looking back, he knew that there must be something wrong with the original Fuma Shuriken.

"It's actually a machine shuriken?"

Hearing the sudden sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air behind him, Kakashi was confused for the first time.

At this time, his feet had not yet touched the ground, and after swinging the knife with all his strength, his body was unable to fight back as effectively as before.

"It has reached its limit..."

"This kid Jiyue is growing up so fast!"

Just when Kakashi was helplessly preparing to activate the Substitution Technique, the sound of iron pieces piercing wooden stakes suddenly came from behind.

What followed closely was the concern of Uchiha Jiyue.

"Kakashi-senpai, are you okay?"

Watching the boy hurriedly jump to the tree and run towards him before he could stand still, Kakashi suddenly realized that his previous idea might be wrong.

"If Ji Yue really fell into a demon, the four iron fan blades that were affected by the mechanism should be targeting me, but they didn't..."

"He... is probably the same as me at that time, right?"

"I don't want to bring misfortune to others, so I deliberately avoid my concern..."

"A child who is as kind as Obito, but whose experiences are similar to mine..."

Pulling up the mask, Kakashi's head unconsciously flashed Metkai's smile.

"However, you cannot avoid the care from your companions no matter what! Jiyue, I hope that one day, you can also meet your Kai..."

Thinking of this, Kakashi showed his usual casual expression and slapped Uchiha Jiyue hard on the head.

"How can it be okay!"

"I was almost killed by your boy!"

"ah!?"

Uchiha Jiyue was in pain, covering his head and said: "Are jounins also so weak?"

Kakashi suddenly laughed and said: "No! You have become stronger!"

Uchiha Jiyue looked at Kakashi: "Then this assessment..."

Kakashi grabbed Uchiha Jiyue's arm and smiled: "Before announcing the result, Jiyue, please go somewhere with me first!"

"Where to go?"

Uchiha Jiyue was confused when he heard this: "Kakashi-senpai, shouldn't you return to the Hokage first now?"

"Not urgent."

Kakashi shook his head and pretended to be mysterious: "You will know when you go!"

five minutes later.

Kaka took Uchiha Jiyue to the memorial monument near the training ground.

Looking at Kakashi standing solemnly in front of the memorial monument, Uchiha Jiyue did not dare to speak.

At this time, Kakashi suddenly said: "Jiyue, I know what you want to ask. You must have seen it. There are many names engraved on the stone tablet in front of you. These are the heroes who protected the village with their lives."

Kakashi seemed to have thought of something and was silent for a moment before continuing: Actually, I have been waiting here for a long time, but every time I come here, I can't help but blame the stupid person in the past.

Own……"

At this time.

Suddenly it started raining heavily

——Black rain!

After a long silence in the memory, Kakashi said to Uchiha Jiyue: "Jiyue, I don't actually object to your revenge on Itachi, but I have a question to ask you..."

"What?"

Kakashi's profound sadness filled Uchiha Jiyue's heart. On the night of the genocide, he also lost many important people, so he naturally understood the weight of Kakashi standing in front of the commemorative monument and speaking to him.

"Human life is short in terms of time, but very long in terms of suffering..."

"You will meet many people. Some want to bully you, some approach you with various purposes, and some love you deeply with their lives..."

"Sometimes, many accidents happen and many hardships are encountered..."

Father...Obito...Rin...teacher...

The fragmented memories that flashed through his head made Kakashi's voice become low and choked.

"But sometimes, you will also gain touch and happiness..."

"So, Jiyue, I want to ask you, apart from revenge, do you have no other goals in life?"

"Other targets...?"

Seeing that the boy beside him was deep in thought, Kakashi did not rush to ask the boy for an answer. Instead, he patted his shoulder gently, then turned around and disappeared into the rain.

The rain is getting heavier.

The boy in front of the commemorative monument was silent for a long time and returned to the training ground.

In the torrential rain, Uchiha Jiyue saw from a distance that there was a makeshift wooden pavilion in the open space in the distance, and the two most noble people in Konoha, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hokage assisted Danzo.

Just inside.

"Hokage-sama, I succeeded."

After entering the pavilion, Uchiha Jiyue said to the Third Hokage.

"Kakashi already told me..."

The Third Hokage rarely smoked, with a gentle smile on his face that had been eroded by time:

"Xiao Jiyue, it's done!"

Although Danzo on the side felt disgusted, he could only stay here and watch his friend's performance.

Even for a while, in order to maintain his narrow-minded persona in front of his friends, he had to compete with him again.

Thinking of this, Danzo felt even more disgusted.

"Jiyue, do you have any ideas?"

Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, the Third Hokage's heart was beating with excitement. Every time he suppressed Danzo, he gained great happiness.

Uchiha Jiyue thought for a while and said sternly: "Sasuke is still young, and the name of the Uchiha clan can only be protected by me. Therefore, Hokage-sama, I want to join Danzo-sama's roots!"

"Um?"

"Join my roots? Not Hiruzen's ANBU?"

Danzo suddenly became alert.

Trap! There must be a trap here!

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Uchiha Haoyue nodded solemnly towards Danzo: "Rather than joining the ANBU led by Hokage-sama who trades the lives of his companions for false peace, I would rather join the root led by you."

Seeing that Danzo was still hesitating, Uchiha Jiyue showed his Sharingan to increase his leverage and continued to add:

"Lord Danzo, after losing everything, I got these eyes. In your opinion, this may be an unfortunate curse. But in my opinion, this is an important way to have protection in the next desperate situation.

The blessing of human strength.”

"So, I'm sorry, Hokage-sama..."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the Third Hokage on Danzo's left: "I really can't agree with your practice of sacrificing Hizashi in exchange for peace with Kumogakure like you did in the past."

What a strong will of fire!

Moreover, the important thing is that this child loves me!

Danzo, a leader of the hawks, smiled.

In the past, he had seen Shisui and Itachi treat Hiruzen as their biological father, answering every call, going back and forth, and it would be a lie to say they were not jealous. Now, he finally realized how happy Hiruzen was at that time!

Especially at this moment, looking at his friend's livid face, Danzo felt even more happy!

He just likes Uchiha Jiyue!

The Third Hokage noticed Uchiha Jiyue's right hand and secretly pointed at the sunflower in the corner of the pavilion. He instantly understood what he was thinking and deliberately said "Don't regret it" with a cold face before striding away.

"Okay, okay!"

After the Third Hokage left, Danzo happily said hello three times: "From today on, you will follow me! The 'Roots of Konoha' will not treat you badly!"

Looking at the three magatama Sharingan on the right side of Uchiha Jiyue, Danzo directly raised his treatment in the root to the highest level.

"As for the code name, let's just say 'A'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Jiyue hurriedly saluted Danzo and thanked him: "Thank you, Danzo-sama!"

“It’s mutual success!”

Danzo looked at the Hokage Rock in the distance and said with a smile: "With you, I will be more sure of my next plan."

So far——

Danzo who planned the game, the Third Hokage who wanted to break the game, and Uchiha Jiyue who took the initiative to join the game are all in the game.

only……

It’s still unclear who will win!
