One week after Pain invaded Iwagakure, the Country of Fire, Konoha.

Hinata Nana, who was the Sixth Hokage at the time, looked at the letter from Iwagakure Village on the table. The content written in the letter made Hinata Nana, who was no longer young, feel in a trance.

"Go call Kakashi." Hinata said to the messenger ninja.

After a while, Kakashi came.

"Kakashi, I need you to lead Team 7 as the village's special envoy to rush to Iwagakure to determine the specific situation of Iwagakure."

Kakashi took the order and left. Hinata raised his head and stared blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.

That guy Uehara is actually dead.

Hyuga-chan heard the news of Uehara's death more than once, but Uehara, who had a reputation as a miracle, finally stood in front of everyone again and again.

But this time, there may be no miracle.

This is probably the fate of ninjas.

"Did Uehara and Satoru disappear together?" Hinata was disappointed.

Hinata suddenly remembered that he seemed to have no friends all of a sudden. Hinata became a shadow, and he himself was a daimyo. No one in Konoha Village would want to be friends with a shadow or a daimyo. From a long time ago, Hinata's friends

It seems that only the original one is left.

After Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke all became ninjas who could stand alone, Team 7 rarely went out on missions together.

At the entrance of Konoha Village, Kakashi still did not arrive on time, five minutes later than the agreed time.

"It's true Kakashi-sensei, you're always late every time." Naruto complained as he kicked stones out of boredom.

"Kakashi-sensei, what kind of mission is this time?" Naruto looked very expectant.

"Naruto, are you taking the jounin exam soon?" Kakashi did not answer Naruto, but asked another question, "Sasuke and Sakura have become jounin, so you are the only one left."

"As a Jonin, I am nominally your superior, Naruto." Sasuke made a joke on Naruto, which made Naruto even more depressed.

When the seventh team passed through the Land of Fire and arrived at the border of the Earth Kingdom, they found a large number of ninja troops on the border of the Earth Kingdom. Only in the Danzo era had Kakashi seen the same number of Iwa ninja border troops, and before that, with the new

After the Hokage came to power, the relationship between Konoha and Iwagakure eased again, and both sides significantly reduced the size of their border troops.

When the fierce-looking Iwa ninja looked at Kakashi's ID, his eyes were full of hostility, which made Kakashi feel that something was wrong.

The official statement from Iwagakure's top brass was that when powerful enemies invaded the village, the Fourth Tsuchikage single-handedly defeated all the enemies. By the time support arrived, the Fourth Tsuchikage had already died of his injuries.

For the purpose of hiding some important information, this is the information that most of Iwagakure's jounin received.

Among the enemies who invaded the Iwagakure Village was Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, so don't expect the Iwagakure to have much favorable impressions of Kakashi and the other Konoha ninjas.

Except for Class 7 being blocked at the border, the journey within the Earth Kingdom was smooth.

Arriving at Iwagakure Village, in front of Kakashi and the others was a huge pit that was so deep that it could be called a canyon.

The traces of the fierce battle were still there, so Kakashi grabbed a handful of soft loose soil under his feet. Among the yellow soil, there was a small piece of white cement that caught Kakashi's attention. It was a fragment of a building.

(What kind of battle can cause such terrible destruction...) Kakashi's pupils couldn't help but tighten.

If the enemy attacks Konoha, what will happen to Konoha? Kakashi doesn't dare to think about the consequences.

"This is the location of Iwagakure Village. The village plans to use a barrier to permanently preserve the traces of the battle here to remember the great sacrifices the Fourth Generation made to protect the village." The eyes of the young Iwagakure responsible for guiding the way.

There is sadness and grief.

"I was not from Iwagakure Village before. In order to protect everyone, the teacher forbade any ninja in the village to intervene in his battle. I am so lucky to have such a village and Kage."

Kakashi was keenly aware of the message in the words of the young ninja in front of him.

Naruto, who had a cheerful personality, also had moments when he was depressed. Naruto grabbed a piece of black iron from the soil. The iron piece was only as big as a knuckle. It could be vaguely seen that it was part of the broken blade of the kunai.

How intense was the battle before an entire village disappeared into thin air.

Naruto stood on the edge of the large pit created by Super Shinra Tensei in the middle of the Iwagakure Village. He stared at the depths of the pit. Because it was too deep, the depths of the pit were pitch black.

(How did the Tsuchikage evade such an attack...) Next to Naruto, Sasuke carefully observed the traces of the battlefield with bright eyes. His feelings were different from Naruto's. He marveled at the effect of ninjutsu rather than being sad.

.

"Working hard to protect everything in the village, no matter how much it takes to sacrifice yourself, Uncle Tsuchikage did what I have always wanted to do." Naruto's heart was touched.

"I will be like Uncle Tsuchikage, no matter what the enemy is, I will never retreat!" Naruto clenched his fists.

Kakashi felt that half of his mission was completed. The Hokage asked him to find out the damage to Iwagakure Village. Now Kakashi knew the loss - not even a complete wall could be seen in the entire Iwagakure Village.

Completely and completely destroyed.

"Although it may be rude to ask this, it is related to the secrets of Iwagakure Village. But I want to know how many personnel losses there are in Iwagakure Village?" Kakashi stared into the eyes of the young Iwagakure. His experience in ANBU work gave him a grasp of

With superb interrogation skills, coupled with the help of Sharingan, Kakashi can observe the target's psychological activities from subtle facial expressions. For example, the eyes are definitely different when lying and not lying.

"In this attack, there was one casualty in Iwagakure Village." Iwagakure met Kakashi's eyes with firm eyes.

"...One?" Kakashi was a little doubtful.

"One." The young Iwa nin said again, "The Fourth Tsuchikage, he was the only person killed in this attack."

Kakashi's interrogation skills told him that the words of the Iwa nin before him were not false, and Kakashi was shaken physically and mentally.

In the disaster that destroyed the entire village into rubble, the Tsuchikage managed to protect everyone intact, which was a miracle.

Inexplicably, Kakashi once again thought of the Yondaime Tsuchikage's famous name in the ninja world, Miracle Ninja.

In Kakashi's ninja creed, he never expects any miracles. For ninjas, surviving in cruel battles does not rely on luck or miracles, but on the skill brought by countless arduous training and practice.

Ninja skills.

Kakashi's creed was shaken at this moment. Maybe there will be a miracle. Kakashi thought as he looked at the red ninja uniform of the young Iwa ninja in front of him.

Kakashi suddenly remembered that the ANBU had collected information about the young man in front of him who was similar in age to Naruto. He seemed to be named Kimimaro. In the Chunin Exam jointly held by the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja,

Kimimaro was the final winner, tied for first place with the Jinchūriki of Sunagakure Village.

Soon, Kakashi met Gaara, the Sunagakure Jinchūriki, on a spaceship again.

Perhaps because they were both Jinchuuriki and had the same aura, Gaara and Naruto both noticed each other's presence first.

"I feel the chakra of the bastard Kyuubi."

"That little sand kid has Shukaku's aura on him."

Both Shukaku and Kyuubi felt each other's presence.
