Chapter 15 Sealed Scroll
Chapter 15 Sealed Scroll
After a while, Kakashi asked all the people who knew Lin well, but no one admitted about the shell, so he had to keep this in his heart, but a seed of doubt was quietly planted by Sakai go down.
As for who gave the shells...does it matter?
Sakai smiled and processed the ingredients in his hands, then looked at a large table in the shop, took their order and two bottles of sake and sent them over.
"Thank you, Sakai-san." Since Kakashi and Sakai have a good relationship, Tianzang has always been very polite to Sakai.
"The dishes are all ready, call me anytime if you need anything." Sakai finished speaking and looked at Itachi Uchiha, "Do you want me to prepare some rice balls and take them away?"
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Itachi nodded towards him very temperamentally, and his every move really made people couldn't help admiring that he was worthy of being the young master of the famous Uchiha.
Sakai nodded in response, and looked at Kakashi again, "Eat something first, don't just drink, I won't let you stay overnight when you're drunk."
Kakashi who was holding the wine glass heard the words, so he had to put down the wine glass first, picked up a few chopsticks to eat the food, and then took a sip of sake.
After Sakai left, the other people at the table looked at Itachi with a somewhat reserved expression.
To be honest, at the beginning, the members of Anbu Class [-] were completely shocked by the shamelessness of their captain, and they actually invited the new team members to treat them, and the new team members were the young masters of the Uchiha family!What if Uchiha Itachi gets angry and makes trouble in front of Hokage-sama?
They have always kept a respectful distance from Uchiha Itachi, because they always feel that everyone is not in the same world.But judging from today, they feel that Master Uchiha is still quite approachable, but not as arrogant as they imagined.
Itachi wasn't actually offended by this at all, on the contrary, he was very grateful to Kakashi for helping him integrate into the team in this way.
The lively atmosphere of the izakaya, coupled with Kakashi and Tianzang's gags, after a while, the atmosphere at this table eased up a lot, at least everyone was not as stiff as they were at the beginning.After a few glasses of sake, some team members even dared to gossip with Itachi.
It was the first time for Itachi to be treated so warmly by his teammates other than his clansmen, and he couldn't help showing a gentle smile on his face.
Seeing this scene, Sakai felt a little relieved.
He can't judge Itachi's behavior. From Konoha's point of view, he needs to thank Itachi for killing relatives, but if he is a member of the Uchiha tribe, even if he knows the truth, he must want to eat his flesh and blood.
Everything is due to different positions, and it is precisely because he is now standing in the perspective of Konoha people that he can give Itachi such a small help with peace of mind.
"He's a smart kid." After a while, Kakashi and Sakai talked about Itachi who had always performed well in Anbu, "Even I couldn't be as good as him back then."
"Huiji will be hurt, I think he seems to have something on his mind." Recently, Itachi came less and less, even if he came occasionally to buy food for his younger brother, there would always be a gloomy look on his brows.
Kakashi shook his head, expressing his ignorance, "His mission performance has always been very good. Although he is only 11 years old, he is strong enough to be the team leader, but I think the above means that he will be investigating for a while."
The ordinary members of the Anbu are all Chunin, with average strength, and the task difficulty is not high. Usually, only the squad leader and sub-captain will receive more advanced tasks.With Itachi's current level, it's a bit wasteful just to borrow B-level tasks.
inspection?It should be said that it is a contest between Konoha and Uchiha.
Sakai didn't ask this topic too much, he didn't know too much about the internal affairs of Anbu.
"Naruto will start school in a few days, what gift do you plan to give?" Sakai changed the subject.
"Ah, a gift?" Kakashi didn't think of this at all.
Sakai glared at him, "What do you think?"
Kakashi scratched his head, thinking of several gifts, but for various reasons they were not suitable for giving.
"Forget it, I knew you would forget it, and then you can treat him to Ichiraku ramen as a gift." Sakai sighed and stopped embarrassing Kakashi anymore.
Kakashi agreed, and said again: "You really raised Naruto as a son?"
"I would like to, but the three generations of adults do not allow me to adopt Naruto." Sakai feels depressed when he thinks about it. Now he can only take care of Naruto like the hand-slapping uncle of Yile Ramen, and it is difficult to take the initiative to find Naruto , Naruto's daily life can't be interfered with at all.
Fortunately, he also dragged Kakashi over, and asked Kakashi to check the situation at Naruto's house every once in a while, for fear that the expired food in the original book would happen again.
Therefore, the relationship between Kakashi and Naruto is okay, but Kakashi is still unwilling to appear in front of Naruto more.
"By the way, Naruto is being taken care of recently, so don't get too close." Kakashi said in a serious tone.
Sakai frowned suddenly, of course he understood the meaning of these words.The so-called someone to take care of is definitely not someone like Granny Hanako, it is very likely to be Anbu, or even Genmo.In connection with the situation in the past few years, Sakai also understands the problem. It is nothing more than worrying about controlling the Kyuubi in Naruto's body during the Uchiha coup.
Anbu, who is directly under Hokage, is okay, but Danzo, who is under Nebu, has always been dissatisfied with Sakai and Kakashi's contact with Naruto.
"I know, but I remember that Master Itachi's younger brother is also going to school this year."
"A little Uchiha (who doesn't have Sharingan), it doesn't matter if someone (Anbu) is around."
So in the days that followed, Sakai continued to be an ordinary izakaya owner. He quietly watched Itachi, who was always depressed, and would show a bright smile to Naruto who occasionally came over.
"Have you heard? That instant body is dead..."
"Really, isn't Uchiha Shisui very powerful in the blink of an eye, who killed him? He didn't escape."
"It is said that it is Uchiha Itachi, a genius who is as famous as Shisui Shisui..."
From that day on, Itachi hadn't been to Sakai's izakaya for a long time.

"Kakashi, wait a minute." Sakai did not let Kakashi leave directly when he handed over spy information.
"Do you need me to bring something?" Sakai often asked him to bring a message to the three generations of adults, and Kakashi got used to it over time.
"I..." Sakai held a storage object firmly, and looked at Kakashi with some trepidation, "If I said that I was almost able to save Minato-sama back then, would you hate me?"
Kakashi's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Sakai intently, as if trying to tell whether Sakai's words were true or false.
After a while, Kakashi shook his head, "No." He believed that Sakai, like him, was the kind of person willing to sacrifice his life for Minato-sensei.
"Thank you." A smile appeared on Sakai's somewhat pale face, and he handed the scroll in his hand to Kakashi, "Give this to the third generation as well."
He looked at the storage scroll with a gritted resentment besides grief.
Kakashi realized that this scroll might be related to what Sakai said "almost saved Minato-sama". He saw the mark of the Uzumaki clan on the scroll. He didn't know where it came from, but he still took it Handed over to three generations of adults.
"Kogoro gave it to me?" The third generation looked at the storage scroll, and it was definitely not something in recent years in terms of age. He remembered that the last mission Sakai completed was related to the country of Uzumaki, and he guessed in his heart that it was at that time owned.
The third generation opened the scroll, and there was only an ancient letter and a sealed scroll full of complicated spells, and the scroll also had the symbol of the swirl.
The third generation did not study the sealed scroll rashly, but opened the slightly yellowed letter paper.
After reading it, Sandai sighed deeply, "Kakashi, go and tell him, he doesn't have to blame himself, and I won't blame him, it's all God's will."
"This is..." Kakashi shouldn't have asked too much, and he wasn't curious, but he confirmed from the reactions of Sakai and Sandai that this scroll must be related to Minato-sensei.
The third generation sighed again, "This is the research result left by a traveling member of the Uzumaki family. Using the secret technique combined with a large number of souls and chakras sealed in the scroll, you can modify the contract between the ghoul sealer and the god of death. That is to replace the soul of the caster at this price, so that the caster will not die after the contract is completed. Because the price for the replacement is too evil, the Uzumaki tribe destroyed all the data after making one inadvertently, leaving only This is a finished product."
After talking about the third generation, I remembered what happened in that forest back then, "No wonder I saw the unconscious Kogoro outside Kushina's barrier. It turned out that he wanted to use this scroll to save Minato at that time."
But without success.
Kakashi immediately understood the reason, "Is it because of the Nine-Tails Chakra that Sakai failed to perform the spell?"
Three generations nodded silently.
"The existence of this scroll, I hope you will keep it a secret from anyone." The third generation said in a deep voice, "As the Uzumaki tribe said, the production method of this scroll is too evil, and it must not be leaked out!"
"Yes."
"Go back." Sandai swung Kakashi back.
After leaving Hokage's office, Kakashi's mind was in chaos.
Undoubtedly, when he knew that Sakai was almost able to save Minato-sensei, his mood was very complicated, but after knowing everything, what he thought of was that Sakai wanted to use the rioting Nine-Tails Chakra as punishment in the first place .
He always thought it was because Sakai regretted that he couldn't come back in time to save his parents, but he didn't expect that it was actually because he failed to save Minato-sensei.
Almost... This is really a cruel word, a word that looks like hope is slipping away in your hands, but you can't do anything about it.
No wonder he later blamed himself so much that he wanted to kill himself.
Kakashi thought, if he were Sakai, he might also collapse.
He held his breath in his heart, as if he had mixed feelings, and when Kakashi came back to his senses, he was already on the window sill of Sakai's room.
He deftly opened the window and entered the room. Sakai was lying on the bed in a deep nightmare. He curled up uneasily, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his whole body was even trembling.Today this scroll seems to have turned over his most painful memory.
The most painful thing is the person in front of me.
Kakashi understood clearly.
Kakashi wanted to say some words of comfort, but found that he couldn't find any suitable words, because any words seemed pale in front of Sakai.
He reached out to wipe away Sakai's tears in his nightmare, but he woke up Sakai unexpectedly.
"...Kakashi?"
"I'm still here." He said slowly.
"what?"
"I am still here."
"...Mmm." Sakai understood the meaning of Kakashi's words, a slight smile slowly appeared on his face, and the brows also eased a little, "Thank you."
"Sleep, I'll be with you." Kakashi sat on the carpet with his back against Sakai's bed.
"it is good."
So all the noise seemed to disappear in this second, only the steady breathing of the two people remained.
Sakai dreamed again, not a nightmare full of memories, but darkness.
He was walking alone in the cold darkness, but at some point a figure appeared beside him and walked with him.It's amazing, they didn't have any contact, but Sakai could clearly feel the warmth from the other person.
A good night's dream.
The author has something to say:
