Chapter 193: Kakashi is not a spy

Chapter 193 Kakashi is not a spy

The morning mist has not completely dissipated, and the fire has already filled the battlefield.

The sound of weapons piercing through the air, the sound of explosions caused by ninjutsu, and the hoarse roar of ninjas are all noisy on the battlefield.

Kunai, shurikens, and ninja swords were scattered everywhere, stuck in the soil and on human corpses. The pungent smell of blood made people want to vomit, and the ground was dyed red.

The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, dark clouds swept in from the distant sky, cold rain fell, and the air became deserted.

The rain fell mercilessly on the four-year-old Itachi.

That immature body was obviously inappropriate to appear on the battlefield, and the young heart was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

Drenched in the cold rain, I stared blankly at everything that happened in front of me.

There are countless potholes on the battlefield. Even if the rain falls, hot black smoke still rises from the potholes, curling up into the sky.

The cruel picture, the blood and human limbs, were so clearly reflected in Itachi's eyes.

Looking carefully, the fallen corpses around, whether it was Konoha ninja or Yunyin ninja, none of the corpses had a peaceful face.

twisted in pain, stiffened in twisting, body turned cold.

The person standing next to Itachi is his father Uchiha Fugaku.

The current patriarch of the Konoha wealthy Uchiha clan, a powerful ninja who can easily control the blood following the boundary sharingan.

Father Fu Yue's face lost the warmth and softness of the past, only endless seriousness.

Itachi hoped that he could throw himself into his father's arms and find a harbor of family affection that he could rely on, so as to forget all the tragedies that happened in front of him.

However, Fu Yue did not act according to Itachi's idea.

didn't give him support, but said coldly:

"This is war, the war of ninjas."

War…

Itachi didn't know what war was before.

Until now, he seemed to have understood what war was like.

The fighting Konoha and Yunyin ninjas have nothing to do with their own will. The ninjas on both sides died in pain and misery, struggling on the edge of hell.

The pain and despair of the dead body are the same no matter which side the ninja is from.

Itachi can deeply feel that every corpse that fell on the ground, they don't want to die. But they died anyway, dying in pain.

Why did it become like this?

Because the war happened.

Itachi felt a little regretful, and should have refused when his father Fujigaku asked him to come to the battlefield to experience the real world.

He instinctively repelled and didn't want to see such a scene.

Clenching her small fists, she was caught in an indescribable emotional vortex. She didn't know the reason or why she had this disgust. She just felt a sense of suffocation welling up in her heart, and her chest was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.

"War..."

It seemed to hear Itachi's trembling and weak murmur, Fugaku's voice overwhelmed the surrounding wind and rain, and rang clearly in Itachi's ears.

"All kinds of meaningless fighting and killings happen among strangers. This is the world of ninjas. It is also a world cursed by war. You will live in this kind of world. The purpose of my bringing you here is to let you see clearly what the reality of this world is."

This sentence is like a heavy hammer, hitting Itachi's young heart with incomparable ferocity.

The "truth" that Fugaku said, the truth of ninjas, the reality of the world cursed by war, is completely incomprehensible to the four-year-old Itachi.

Although Fu Yue said, let him see the reality of the world.

But, Itachi doesn't want to see such a thing.

I could only desperately hold back my fear and tears.

"Remember all this well. We ninjas survive to fight. Because you are not only a member of Konoha, but also an excellent ninja who inherits the name of Uchiha. Itachi, you are a smart child, and you will understand."

No, I don't understand. Itachi had difficulty breathing, and wanted to speak loudly to Fu Yue, but was afraid of his father's reprimand and disappointment in his eyes, so he had to hold back.

The wordless horror made Itachi afraid to close his eyes, wanting to forget everything he saw just now.

As a result, the more I forget such a picture, the more clearly I remember it in my mind.

Blood, twisted corpses and expressions of despair.

Opening his eyes again, everything in front of him has not changed, and it is still the living **** that Itachi still remembers.

And he Uchiha Itachi will live in such a hellish world.

But Itachi rejects such a world in his heart, and the way to solve problems through fighting and disputes is wrong. It is impossible for him to bear such a world silently.

My future self definitely does not want to live in such a world.

So, there is only one path ahead—to change everything.

Such a world must change.

◎

Yun Yin's offensive is extremely fierce, but Konoha has a ninja like Yellow Flash, no matter how fierce Yun Yin is, he can't get close to the country of fire.

This stalemate continued until June, when things took a new turn.

That is, Yunyin retreated without a fight, and his troops withdrew from the country of Tang and returned to the country of thunder, which surprised the Konoha ninja guarding the border of the country of fire for a while.

Yun Yin’s retreat was very strange. Before the retreat, he neither sent anyone to sign the armistice agreement, nor did he have any prelude. Although Yun Yin’s actions were greatly restricted because of the yellow flash, Konoha was also uncomfortable.

If the stalemate continues, it is still unclear who will win.

However, Yun Yin suddenly withdrew.

Whether it is a real intention to cease the war or a strategic retreat makes Konoha feel extremely strange.

However, there seems to be an interesting rumor coming from Yunyin, that is, many ninjas in Yunyin are afraid of the power of the yellow flash, and their morale is seriously low. The senior management of Yunyin in the camp often holds several meetings a day, all of which are related to the retreat.

Recently, the decision to retreat was finally made. But due to the problem of face, he adopts the strategy of retreating without fighting, and does not directly admit that he is afraid of Konoha, or the power of the yellow flash.

As long as the battle does not produce a real result, Yun Yin is not considered a failure.

Although he acted a bit rogue, it is not difficult to see that Yun Yin's side is afraid of the yellow flash.

Even in the Tang Kingdom, there are many rumors that Yun Yin was afraid of the strength of the yellow flash, and in order to preserve his dignity, he withdrew from the battlefield wishfully without signing an armistice agreement.

This kind of rumor seems very serious, and there is no definite evidence, but after carefully thinking about Yellow Flash's outstanding performance on the battlefield in the past two years, and Yun Yin's side has not clarified, as if tacitly tacit, many people believe it.

Konoha Ninja, who was fighting Yunyin on the front line, also quite agrees with this statement.

Whether it was the end of the Iwagakure battlefield or the Umogakure battlefield, defeating a large number of Umogakure elite ninjas headed by the fourth generation of Raikage successively made Konoha recover from the disadvantages in the Umogakure battlefield and quickly gained the upper hand. There are yellow flashing figures among them.

And it accounted for the largest proportion of the mission, almost turning the tide alone, suppressing the voices of the hostiles.

If Yun Yin retreated without a fight because of the yellow flash, it would make perfect sense, and it would be the most acceptable reason for Konoha.

Because, the record of the yellow flash is really too dazzling.

The greatest hero who ended the war is none other than him.

Shuimen also got the news of Yunyin's retreat in the camp. There were curiosity, respect, admiration, and blessings from all around, but no matter what it was, they didn't rush forward.

Although he is a member of Konoha Ninja, he has a very good relationship with many people.

But there are not many people who can communicate with each other, Minato thinks about it carefully.

No matter how dazzling the record is, this is also my own limitation and limit.

Minato sorted out her emotions and walked out of the camp.

Because he is not sure about Yunyin's movements, he needs to go to him, who is the most mobile, to confirm the authenticity.

Following behind Minato is the only and trustworthy subordinate——Hatake Kakashi.

The combination of genius and genius must be a topic that can be talked about in other people's mouths.

Because this mission was just for inspection, not for combat, Kakashi was also called.

Moreover, Kakashi is good at swordsmanship and thunder escape, which is very suitable for fighting against the cloud hidden ninja.

Once there is a battle with the cloud hidden ninja, Kakashi's performance is definitely better than many Konoha jonin, and the future is boundless.

Following behind Minato, Kakashi also observed the surrounding atmosphere, and saw a familiar young figure in it—Itachi Uchiha.

In the camp, the youngest participant was only four years old.

Not even a ninja.

Bringing such a child here, what is the Uchiha patriarch going to do?

The eyes the other party looked at were no longer innocent and curious, but had other meanings, as if they were chasing something, and became heavy.

Kakashi withdrew his gaze, followed Minato out of the camp, went outside, and began to follow the footsteps of Kumono's troops to find out the specific movements of Kumono.

Whether they really intend to cease the war, or are they plotting some kind of conspiracy, these are the places to be determined.

◎

The exploration mission was carried out for a total of three days.

Minato and Kakashi confirmed one thing, that is, Yun Yin really planned to retreat.

There is no Yunyin ninja in the country of Tang. The two even sneaked into the border of the country of Thunder and conducted inspections. They found that there are only regular border garrisons on the border of the country of Thunder. Most of the ninjas in Yunyin have confirmed to return to Yunyin Village.

Send this important information back to Commander Akimichi Tekkaze, and then announce it to every Konoha ninja in the camp. At the same time, he also sends a letter to Konoha to convey the findings of Minato and Kakashi smoothly.

After all, the final decision is still up to the high-level decision.

However, with Yunyin's attitude of retreating without fighting, it seems that he will not be able to fight.

As for whether Yun Yin really intends to cease the war, it is unknown, therefore, he cannot completely relax his guard.

The news of Yunyin's retreat was quickly passed back to Konoha, and Konoha's senior management, headed by the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi, quickly held a meeting and made a reasonable discussion on this matter.

After all, the power of Yunyin is different from other villages. Yunyin is the only ninja village in the ninja world that has perfect skills to control tailed beasts. The power of tailed beasts is maturely used in wars, and the pressure on Konoha is naturally not comparable to other ninja villages.

Thus, Hiruza Sarutobi of the Third Hokage selected two Jōnin and five Chunin from his direct subordinates to form a mission to go to Yun Yin, wanting to know what the intention of Yun Yin is for this sudden retreat.

Whether to continue the war or choose peace talks.

But after the mission came back from Yunyin, the news they got was that Yunyin used vague words and did not give a clear answer. He neither negotiated peace nor fought, which made Konoha's senior management feel baffled.

Among them, the Konoha radical faction headed by Danzo put forward a proposal to directly attack the Land of Thunder. No matter what conspiracy or tricks the other party has, just simply subdue the other party, so as not to make a comeback later.

However, this proposal was rejected by the Third Hokage. Under the premise of not being clear about the situation, fighting Yunyin rashly will only increase the battle damage.

In fact, Konoha has fought Sand Yin, Yan Yin, and Yun Yin successively, and the battle damage has been very serious.

From the beginning of the Third Ninja World War until now, Konoha has at least thousands of ninjas who died on the battlefield.

If the battle damage continues to increase, it will easily lead to new problems. The focus should be on recuperating and cultivating a new generation of ninjas, rather than prolonging the war.

No matter what, the current stable situation is exactly what Hiruza Sarutobi of the Third Hokage wants to see, and it is also the situation that most Konoha ninjas want to see.

Many ninjas have become war-weary. Compared with Yun Yin, Konoha's fighting morale is not much higher.

However, due to the ambiguous "truce" method of Yunuo, Hizamaki, who is Hokage, did not completely relax his vigilance, and asked Akimichi Torikaze to lead two thousand Konoha ninjas to continue to stay at the border between the country of fire and the country of soup, preventing Yunyin from returning, and hitting Konoha one by one to return to the carbine.

Some ninjas were also quietly transferred back to Konoha Village from the front line, including the yellow flashing Namikaze Minato, and Konoha's youngest jōnin Hatake Kakashi.

◎

The strange movements of Konoha and Yunyin were naturally noticed by all countries.

But regarding Yun Yin’s abnormal retreat behavior, Ninja villages in various countries also expressed their incomprehension and doubts.

As a third party, they naturally hope that the battle between Konoha and Yunyin will continue to be a stalemate, increasing the ninja's battle damage.

Especially Konoha, they hope that Konoha's loss will be greater than Yun Yin.

Because of the rise of the yellow flash, they are equally pressured as opponents.

Even if many ninjas have not seen it with their own eyes, those real achievements will not lie.

In addition to the Sannin in Konoha, there are also ninjas in the new generation who can stand on their own, and their deterrence is even stronger than the Sannin.

If you encounter a yellow flash during a mission, you can give up the mission without penalty. There is only one person in the ninja world who has received such an honor.

Once targeted, it is absolutely impossible to escape.

The harsh winter of the enemy.

All kinds of rumors about the yellow flash are spreading in the ninja world, and there is a growing trend.

Konoha did not comment on this. Many Konoha ninjas feel that such a ninja was born in their village, and they should be honored.

"What exactly does Yun Yin want to do?"

Shiraishi, who sits in the kingdom of ghosts, naturally also received news of Konoha and Yunyin's battlefield, and was puzzled by Yunyin's abnormal and unreasonable behavior.

Because there was no prelude when this happened, Yun Yin's sudden retreat made people feel that there was no beginning and no end.

Shiraishi, like the rest of the ninja villages in the five major countries, hopes that the battle between Yun Yin and Konoha can continue forever, and in the final statistics, the number of battle damage will be increased. It doesn't matter who wins or loses.

In this way, the kingdom of ghosts will face less pressure in the ninja world in the future.

The personnel of Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company in Yunyin Village did not find any useful information, and everything was tightly blocked.

The so-called speculation is the result of analysis based on intelligence.

However, there is no useful information sent back now, and Baishi's eyes are also darkened, so he has no way of knowing what kind of tricks Yunyin's senior management is playing.

Yun Yin withdraws from the battlefield without signing an armistice agreement. No matter how you look at it, it is better to store up power secretly, and then give Konoha a carbine.

Of course, it is also possible that he was really afraid of the prestige of the yellow flash, and quit the battlefield in this way to save himself some dignity.

It's just that, no matter what it is, Konoha is now completely freed from the shackles of war.

What to do next, Shiraishi knows very well.

The election of the Fourth Hokage will continue to maintain a stable situation between the ninja and civilian factions, and...seriously deal with some rebellious ninjas that can endanger the safety of the village.

According to Shiraishi's estimate, in October of this year, Konoha will be able to recover from the war and take formal action against the three of them.

Uchiha and Hyuga Ninja’s collective defection is the first time for Konoha. The matter is so serious that Konoha has zero tolerance for seriousness.

Before, it was only because of the sudden outbreak of the war that this matter was suppressed. Once the war is over, Konoha will definitely search the three of them from the whole ninja world.

"No, I have to find something to keep Konoha busy."

Before Konoha was dragged down by the war, Shiraishi felt very relaxed. Now that Konoha is free from the war, Shiraishi feels that the pressure on his shoulders seems to be greater than imagined.

◎

Kakashi is naturally unaware of Shiraishi's troubles.

Even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. Anyway, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. His only task now is to continue to be promoted to the top.

Junin is actually not low in terms of job level, but the gap between Jonin and Jonin is actually very big.

Kakashi is very clear that he is currently just a Junin with a Jonin name and a little strength, no different from most Junin. The few differences are that I am young and talented, and the recently famous yellow flash is the teacher-student relationship with the direct subordinate.

So, logically, Kakashi hopes that Minato can become the Fourth Hokage.

Because only when Minato, who does not have too many cronies, becomes the Fourth Hokage, he can approach the core layer of Konoha at the fastest speed.

He is not only a student and subordinate of Minato, but also a confidant of the third Hokage, and a spy of the root leader Danzo, and has entangled entanglements with three S-level defected ninjas.

Neither double agent nor triple agent can accurately describe him, it should be said that he is a four-way agent.

Kakashi ignored these matters.

It has been a week since I returned to Konoha from Yuno Country.

Today is a special day—a mourning service.

As a member of Konoha Jami, Kakashi naturally went to the ninja cemetery to participate in this mourning meeting, mourning the thousands of Konoha ninjas who died in the war.

Konoha suffered heavy losses in this war. Although Kakashi has not calculated it, he can roughly estimate that the number of ninjas in Konoha probably will not exceed 10,000. On the battlefield, nearly one-third of the ninjas were sacrificed.

The number of casualties is even more terrifying than that of the Second Ninja World War.

Kakashi came to the Ninja Cemetery, where rows of graves were neatly established.

So far, all the ninjas who died in Konoha will be buried here.

Including his father Sakumo Hatake and Shirato Konoha, who were also buried here.

But there are many ninja graves that are empty tombs, because the corpses are incomplete, and the complete body can no longer be found.

Third Hokage and other high-level officials also participated in the mourning ceremony, and Danzo and the two advisors were also there. When they were inadvertent, Danzo and Kakashi's eyes met, as if to confirm the fact that they were a group.

Kakashi quickly walked aside with a blank expression, and stood in the crowd as if nothing had happened, mourning for the dead Konoha heroes.

The funeral was over after about an hour.

Many people left one after another. After Kakashi mourned, he walked to the grave of his father Sakumo Hatake and looked away for a while. When he was about to go back, he saw that there were still two people who had not left the ninja cemetery.

Oshemaru, one of the Sannin, and Itachi Uchiha, who had met a few times on the battlefield of Yunokuni.

One is a powerful ninja who is well-known in the ninja world, and the other is an unknown child who is not even a ninja.

"What is the meaning of life?"

Itachi's soliloquy spread in the air, wondering what happened.

“There is no point in lamenting the dead. Life has value only while it is alive.”

Oshemaru thought it was a bit funny. A four-year-old child asked this kind of question, which made him feel funny.

So I expounded my own point of view, and it was regarded as educating this boy of the Uchiha clan.

"While alive?"

Itachi glanced at Orochimaru in confusion.

This man, who exudes a cold aura all over his body, has a pale face and vertical pupils like snakes.

Itachi looked at him without fear, and there was an inquiring look in his eyes.

Orochimaru glanced at Itachi thoughtfully.

This kid seems a little different. he thought.

Ordinary children would have been frightened to cry when he stared at them like this, and hid aside.

And... is this exploring the meaning of life with him?

Discussing with a four-year-old child, Orochimaru always felt that something was wrong.

But seeing Itachi's serious eyes full of curiosity, Orochimaru's eyes softened, and he answered him with a smile:

"Yes. To me, if life has meaning, it's in eternal life."

After speaking, Orochimaru left without delay.

Before leaving, he glanced at Kakashi secretly.

Itachi stared at the back of Orochimaru leaving, thinking seriously on his immature face, thinking about Orochimaru's answer just now.

Kakashi on the other side noticed the look that Orochimaru looked over before leaving, which was inviting him to be a guest.

Does this mean that I should become a five-faced spy? Kakashi sarcastically to himself.

As long as it is a genius, everyone wants to come and share a piece of it.

(PS: Speaking of which, when did Orochimaru defect?)
