Chapter 21 The Will of Fire
Chapter 21 The Will of Fire
It was already dusk when Sakai and the others rushed back to Konoha, he and Kaiban parted ways at the door, and then Kaiban was going to Hokage Tower to hand in the task.
"Zi Tetsu, is the ninja school graduation exam today?" Sakai was talking to Izumoko and Tetsu who were on duty.
"Ah, if I remember correctly, it should be." Zi Tie glanced at the calendar on the table and nodded.
Izumo immediately thought of why he cared so much about this issue, "Are you worried about those two children?"
"Well, Sasuke, I think there should be no problem, it's Naruto's side..." Sakai recalled the initial plot of Hokage. He remembered that Naruto had to steal the book of seals and learned the technique of shadow division/body art to pass.
Why did Naruto steal the sealed book? It seems... Mizuki!
Sakai frowned, and hurriedly bid farewell to Izumoko Tetsu, "I suddenly remembered something, let's talk about it next time."
At this time, the ninja school was almost over, so he hurried to Naruto's house, knocked on the door for a long time but no one responded.
"Are you still in school?" He hurried towards the ninja school again.
When he arrived at the ninja school, there was no one there. Sakai remembered that Naruto liked to sit on a swing, but he went to the swing to look for him, but he didn't see Naruto either.
Just when he was going to look for other places, he ran into the third Hokage who was sent out by Iruka at the gate of the ninja school.
"Oh, Sakai, did you just come back?" Sandai stopped Sakai, and seemed to be planning to have a chat with Sakai.
Under normal circumstances, he could still refuse, but he also had news to report to Sandai, so he had to give up looking for Naruto first, and followed Sandai to the Hokage Tower.
Since he was still on the street, he only talked about some local customs, and from a distance, it seemed that Sandai was chatting with him kindly, and Sakai escorted Sandai all the way to the Hokage Tower out of respect for Hokage.
Just after Sakai entered Hokage, following Sandai's order, Anbu turned into Sakai and walked out.
"Master Sandai, I have something to report." In Hokage's office, except for Anbe who was hiding in the dark, only Sandai and Sakai remained.
"Thank you." Sandai attached great importance to the news Sakai brought back. In the past, those news won a lot of benefits for Konoha, and he believed that it would be the same this time.
"I went to Tianzhi Country this time and found something was wrong."
"What's wrong?" The third generation recalled the information about Tian Zhiguo. It was a small country with a good geographical location, but it had always been very peaceful.
Sakai shared his experiences one by one, "Three years ago, there were many small earthquakes in Tianzhi Country, but no matter from its geography or history, Tian Zhiguo is not a country where earthquakes occur. Coupled with the time Coincidentally, I guess that Yinyin Village is building a large-scale underground facility."
"Well, it is indeed very possible, but this is also a normal category. A ninja village needs many facilities when it is established." Sandai believes that Sakai's words have more to come.
"Yes, it's fine if it's only near Yinyin Village. However, according to my investigation, there are many places where small earthquakes occurred in Tianzhi Country, and some of them are far away from Yinyin Village. Yinyin Village is just Hotan Country. The daimyo is cooperating and is not affiliated with Tianzhi Country, so this situation seems very strange. I guess it may be that Tianzhi Country or Yinyin Village is carrying out some underground activities, otherwise there is no need to cover up the past with the earthquake."
The third generation thought for a moment, "It won't be Tian Zhiguo, this daimyo is not a person who can accomplish anything. A Ninja Village established in Tian Zhiguo but completely independent, such a coincidental time and behavior, it should be Yinyin Village. .”
Tian Zhiguo daimyo is indeed an incompetent person. He has a bad reputation among the people. He sold the land to outsiders, and he didn't even know that the other party was acting recklessly under his nose.
Perhaps the original intention of the daimyo was to use the existence of Ninja Village to increase the deterrence of Tian Zhiguo, but doing so by a weak country would attract others' covetousness, not to mention that Ninja Village is not yet under his control.
"I'll send someone to pay more attention over there. Did you find anything wrong?"
"The weirdness of Yinyin Village is not only these, but their ninjas are also very strange." Sakai led the third generation a little bit, "At first I thought it was just a special appearance, it was nothing, but according to what I learned from eyewitnesses , their strange appearance is not like natural, more like some acquired..."
"Human experiment?" The face of the third generation changed slightly.
"Yes. It's just that there are only a small number of strange-looking people, and there are relatively few people who witnessed it. I haven't stayed for a long time, so I can't be sure whether this is a rumor or a fact." Sakai described the description of the witnesses, what is long Lots of hands, double-faced people, it really sounds like a ghost story made up, "Tian Zhiguo has also added a lot of strange stories, that is, ghosts sometimes come out of some uninhabited mountains and forests. Screams and cries. I checked the location, and it was some of the areas that had been hit by previous earthquakes."
"Because I had some doubts about this matter, I focused on investigating later. If Yinyin Village is really doing human experiments, firstly, the experimental products must be indispensable, and secondly, food and water must be indispensable." Sakai paused and continued. : "The number of disappearances in Tianzhi Country has increased slightly compared to previous years, and they are mainly children, especially those who are withdrawn or excluded because of physical defects. These children are missing and no one pays attention. I was in some old people's homes. I learned it by mouth."
Sandai put down his pipe, thinking quietly.
"In terms of food, I asked a few big local merchants. There is nothing special about the whereabouts. It's just that the purchase volume in Yinyin Village is very large. The merchants mentioned this when chatting."
"Those merchants should have been to Yinyin Village, what did they say?"
"It's no different from ordinary Ninja Village."
One thing can be a coincidence, but all the things are connected together, and the three generations have already believed that Yinyin Village is doing human experiments.
Sakai has not yet found evidence or intelligence to prove that Yinyin Village belongs to Orochimaru. In this case, he cannot spoil it, but he focused on the human experiments and weirdness of Yinyin Village. He believes that the third generation will think of his disappearance Jiu Jiu's disciple, and sent people to follow this line to track down.
Even if it wasn't Orochimaru, the neighboring countries were conducting such a dangerous experiment, Sandai would never leave it alone.
The third generation thought of his disciple as he expected, he sighed, and after a long time, he asked again: "Then what did you see in the country of soup and the country of rice?"
"Everything is normal in the country of rice, but I got a message from an acquaintance that Hidden Sand Village has reduced its orders with the country of Rice a few days ago, but judging from the past orders of Hidden Sand Village, it is impossible to have any enough food."
This is obviously very abnormal. Because of the environment, the Kingdom of Wind has to rely on foreign imports for a large part of its food.
"Did the daimyo reduce the funds of Shayin Village again, or did they find another food source?" Three generations immediately thought of two possibilities.
"It should be all of them." Sakai explained one by one, "When I was in Tango Country, I heard that Sand Hidden Village was cut again, and my acquaintances in Rice Country told me that Sand Ninja might be in Wada Country. We have cooperated. Even if there is no money, food is the top priority, and it is absolutely impossible to reduce so much at once, so I think there are two situations.”
Because of the high output of the rice country and in order to win over the five major countries, the price of grain exported to the five major countries is already very low. Compared with the output of the land country, they dare not use this kind of price strategy. Logically speaking, sand ninja has no The need for the cooperation of the country of Wada.
Unless, Tian Zhiguo gave them a lower price.
This is very strange again, why did Tian Zhiguo do this, they already have Yinyin Village, why would they want to win over other ninja villages?Was it threatened, intimidated, or was there something secret in it?
The Kingdom of Wada is bordered by the Country of Iron and the Country of Tang, both of which are non-aggressive and relatively neutral countries, and Konoha is also good to the Kingdom of Tian, so there is no need for the Kingdom of Tian to win over in such a panic Sand Shinobi, this might actually annoy Konoha.
If the sand ninja threatens Tian Zhiguo, what does the sand ninja want to do?
If Tian Zhiguo took the initiative to cooperate with Sand Shinobi, then what did Tian Zhiguo want to do with frequent actions?
The three generations looked solemn, no matter what Tianzhi Country and Sand Hidden Village wanted to do, the Fire Country caught in the middle would definitely be affected, and it was more likely that their goal was Konoha.
"I see," Sandai listened to all of Sakai's reports, "I will send someone to investigate right away, thanks for your hard work, Kogoro."
Sakai shook his head lightly, "Mizumon-sama died to protect Konoha, my parents died to protect the villagers... Although they left, I am willing to continue their will and work hard for Konoha where everyone is. A responsibility to be glad of."
"As long as there are flying leaves, there will be fire burning, and the shadow of the fire will shine on the village, and then new leaves will sprout again." The third generation smiled gratifiedly, "It is because of you young people who have inherited the will of fire , will have Konoha's thriving appearance today."
Sandai seemed to want to chat for a while, but was interrupted by Anbu who suddenly came down from the ceiling.
"Master Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto stole the sealed book."
Midai stood up all of a sudden, "Immediately call the ninjas on duty in the nearby patrol team and the teachers of the ninja school, and Anbu also sent a small team to look for it."
"My lord, I think this matter is a bit strange. Naruto shouldn't know the existence of the sealed book, let alone know where the sealed book is stored. Someone should have used Naruto." Sakai said quickly, even if he knew the original book Li Naruto was fine, but he was still sweating for Naruto.
Sandai nodded, "I know this too, don't worry, I won't let them hurt Naruto, you go back first."
"Yes." Sakai bowed his head, saluted and left.
When he returned home, as soon as he turned on the light, a figure appeared in front of him.
"Welcome back~"
"I'm back...Really, if I hadn't guessed that you were coming back, I would have been shocked just now." Sakai walked into the kitchen and looked, but the water dispenser was out of water, so he had to boil it now.He filled the kettle with some water and boiled it, and Kakashi followed into the kitchen.
Kakashi shrugged, "I saw Anbu pretending to be you on the street earlier. I guessed that you were at Hokage-sama's place, but I didn't expect you to come back."
"Well, the harvest is a bit big this time." Sakai leaned on the side of the cooking table and waited for the water to boil, without revealing too much.
Just like this, Kakashi also understood what he meant, "Thank you for your hard work." The small amount of water and electric kettle boiled quickly, and Kakashi rushed to pour a cup of hot water in front of Sakai, and took an empty cup to pour the hot water Toss and turn, quickly cool down.
"Here." Kakashi handed Sakai the hot water that was not too hot.
Sakai was holding the cup. Looking at the transparent liquid in the cup, he suddenly remembered something, "I remember that I said that I would buy you a drink when I came back. The goods I ordered in the country of rice should be delivered tomorrow morning."
Rice country wine is not suitable for gulping like beer, Kakashi thought for a while, "It's not interesting in the store, do you want to drink it while watching the sunrise?"
"Okay, good attention, let's call Asma and the others." Sakai thought for a while and decided to have a picnic.
"Asuma and Hong are having a heated fight recently, and they are still preparing to take students, so they probably don't have time." As for Kakashi...he doesn't think he can find qualified students this time.
But Sakai knew... But he thought about it, and according to the original book, Kakashi was quite free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
"Where's Kay?"
"I met you on the street before, and I said that I was out of the village for too long and I was afraid of falling out of training. I will take his disciples to strengthen training in the past few days." Seeing that Sakai was going to ask something, Kakashi said directly, "Genma recently There is a mission, and I am not in the village during this time."
"Then it seems to be just the two of us." Sakai thought for a while, "Sure enough, the sunrise is best viewed from the top of the mountain, but that's camping, right?"
"Camping..." Kakashi watched Sakai put down the unpacked backpack when he came back earlier, "It's not bad, do you want to try it?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't specifically gone camping, usually because of missions I have to live in the wild." Sakai pondered for a moment and said, "I feel pretty good, when is it?"
"Go out tomorrow afternoon. You will be busy again in two days. You don't have to think about so many news while you still have time, so relax."
"Okay." It was also wishful for Sakai to really relax.
Sakai drank the water in the glass in one gulp, and his throat felt better, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"You haven't eaten yet?" Kakashi frowned, "Let me make it for you, you are still on vacation."
"Hey, is there such a benefit during the holidays?" Sakai said with a smile, "Are there any ingredients at home?"
Kakashi made a mark, and Kageko rushed out to buy groceries, "There will be it soon." He said so.
Sakai raised his mouth, "Then I'll wait." He walked to the restaurant outside, sat on a chair and looked at Kakashi's back with his chin resting.
***
The next morning, Sakai was still asleep when he heard Naruto's voice coming from the living room.
"Brother Sakai, brother Sakai!"
He woke up, confirmed that he was not dreaming, walked out of the room, and saw that Naruto had put on the ninja forehead.
"Ah, I'm back, Iruka-sensei is right!" It turned out that Iruka saw Sakai came back yesterday, and told Naruto while eating ramen in the morning.
"Congratulations on becoming a ninja, Naruto." Sakai squatted down and rubbed Naruto's hair, "You will definitely become a great ninja."
"Well! Brother Sakai, let me tell you, yesterday..." Naruto recounted what he experienced yesterday, and finally said: "Hey, I want to become a Hokage, so I can't do split/body skills It’s hard for me! I have already learned the multi-shadow split/body technique! Then Iruka-sensei gave me the forehead protector and invited me to eat ramen.”
"But... Naruto, you should be going to the graduation ceremony now, right?" Sakai pointed to the clock on the wall to remind him.
"Eh? Heh heh heh—" Naruto looked at the clock and panicked, "I'm going to be late, brother Sakai, see you next time!" After finishing speaking, he jumped out of the window just like when he came.
"Both of them like to go through the window, so you led me to break it?" Sakai turned and looked at Kakashi who had just come out of his room.
Kakashi who just woke up didn't wear a mask. He had a beauty mole on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was lazy. It's a pity that Sakai has long been used to seeing his face.
"Why did Naruto come so early?" Kakashi stayed overnight on the grounds of helping Sakai with dinner last night. Cassie packed a guest room.
"It's getting late, shifts are divided today, and you're going to gather at the third-generation adults too?" Sakai walked back to the room, he was still in his pajamas, and since he was woken up, he simply got up.
"Ah...it seems so." Kakashi rubbed his head, "What's for breakfast?"
"Aren't you going to meet up?" Sakai, half undressed, looked over.
"It's okay, I'll make you breakfast first before leaving, and I agreed to help you in the next few days."
"..." Sakai sighed, and put his pajamas back on again, "Forget it, the assembly shouldn't take long, you pack some food on the way, I'll continue to sleep, and come back to make breakfast for me after you go to the assembly Come on, remember to wake me up."
"Hey hey~" Kakashi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Good dream."
Lying on the bed and smelling Kakashi's breath, Sakai suddenly thought of a question, Naruto and the others would wait so long today, could it be because Kakashi wanted to help him with breakfast and lunch?
No, no, it doesn't take that long to cook and eat, it must be because Kakashi will go to the memorial monument in the future.
Definitely not his fault_(:з」∠)_
The author has something to say:
Author: Not only today, but also tomorrow and every day after you are together, it is all your fault, so I didn't run away.
