The Rise of Onmyoji: The Path of Naruto

Chapter 69

Kakashi's considerations

The curved waist seemed to straighten a lot, and the third generation's voice regained the aura of being the first Hokage of the Ninja Village, and said solemnly: "The mission is very simple, but it is also very important."

"Still taking your respective students for regular mission training, but secretly protect the safety of people coming from the Kingdom of Thunder. At least on our territory, they are absolutely not allowed to suffer any casualties."

"Create the safest environment for their discussions with the Hinata family."

"Yes"

"Yes"

"Yes."

The three of them nodded, greeted the Third Generation, and left the Hokage's office.

Asuma was a little behind in answering, causing the third generation to look away.In the second before leaving the house, the eyes of father and son met.

Until all three people walked out of the office, the third generation's eyes still stayed at that place.

All three of them understood what Sandai meant.

Back then, Konoha, as the victor, could completely ignore the unreasonable demands made by the Kingdom of Thunder.However, due to the faint pressure from outside countries, no matter what the Hyuga family's thoughts were, the decision to hand over Hyuga Hizashi solved a big problem for Konoha.

I'm afraid that's why the third generation will be particularly concerned about this matter now. Therefore, he hopes that the Hyuga family will not allow any problems to arise during this negotiation with the people from the Kingdom of Thunder.

Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi, these are all famous ninjas in the ninja world. Maybe Kurenai is not that good, but to protect such people from the Kingdom of Thunder who can be regarded as messengers in Konoha's territory, of course It's more than enough.

As they walked on the road, none of the three of them spoke.

Kakashi walked in front with his head lowered, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hey, Kakashi. What are you thinking about?" Seeing this, Kurenai and Asuma looked at each other and pushed him.

Kakashi looked at them and suddenly stopped.

"Sandaime-sama is right to ask us to handle this task, but he also repeated Naruto's words to us specifically to tell us what he wanted to say."

Kakashi's words made both of them frown.

After thinking for a long time, Hong said something surprising: "Is the Sandaime worried that this kid will do something bad?" After saying this, Hong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Kakashi didn't smile, and neither did Asuma.

The two looked at each other and saw something in each other's eyes.

"Okay, that's it for today. Let's gather the children in our respective classes tomorrow to start the task. As for us, we will be a little busier." Kakashi suddenly said.

Waving his hand, Kakashi left.There were only two people left on the spot.

The unladylike Kurenai yawned and was about to leave, but Asuma's voice suddenly came from behind.

"I see you off"

After being startled for a moment, our royal sister showed a rare hint of blush on her face. Although it only existed for such a short moment, it was still caught by Asma's eyes.

Under the sunlight, the two figures overlapped and walked into the distance.

The next day

This morning, Naruto came very early, and Kakashi came very on time.On the contrary, Sakura was the last one to arrive, even though she was not late.

What's happening here

Sakura looked dumbfounded at the three people standing there, especially Kakashi's figure. The little girl stared at them for a long time, with a look of deep surprise on her face.

"Come on, let's go pick up the mission." Kakashi said to Sakura.

Several people walked towards the mission hall

& nb

sp; Walking into the mission hall, Kakashi squeezed in and chose the missions that were "suitable" for them.The three of them are still waiting where they are.

Sakura looked at Naruto who was standing expressionless, and the scene that happened on the street yesterday flashed through her mind.

Although because of what happened to Naruto yesterday, everyone ended the party hastily and the party was not very successful.But when she thought of Naruto's appearance yesterday, Sakura felt subconsciously afraid to look at Naruto.

I feel like my relationship with Naruto has become so distant.

Naruto, who was thinking about something, noticed the strange expression on Sakura's face and laughed: "What's wrong, Sakura?"

Hearing Naruto calling her, Sakura raised her head sharply, and the corners of Naruto's mouth wanted to twitch at that look.

Nima, I just called you, do you need this reaction?

Sakura also realized that her performance was a bit rude, and she opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.

Sasuke stood aside, watching the two of them, silently.

Naruto was confused about Sakura's behavior today, but seeing that the girl didn't speak, he couldn't say anything.

After a while, Kakashi's figure walked out from the depths of the hall.

"Let's go." With a simple word, the three of them followed Kakashi and left the mission hall.

Not long after the others left, Kurenai and Asuma arrived with the students from their respective groups and walked into the mission hall.

A moment later, outside the Hokage building, in the open space.

Kakashi was silent for a while before Naruto and the others, and finally said: "We have been doing D-level missions. Today, I will take you on a C-level mission."

"Really" Sakura exclaimed happily.

D-level missions are the most boring and irritating missions among all missions, but they are also the safest missions.

The three of them naturally admitted this.However, after having been on a D-level mission for such a long time, the three of them were still very interested when they heard Kakashi say this.

"Listen, this C-level mission still does not require leaving the village." After a pause, Kakashi continued, "This is a mission to protect people, to protect people from other countries."

As soon as Kakashi said this, Naruto suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The next second, the premonition comes true

"In Konoha, protect them from any harm. And you should have seen these people." Kakashi said slowly.

Sakura and Sasuke immediately turned to look at Naruto, but saw no expression on Naruto's face.

Doubtful, no.Surprised, no.There was no anger either.

They all knew who the people Kakashi said needed protection.

And precisely because they knew it, the two of them immediately looked at Naruto, who had had conflicts with those people.

The scene instantly became quiet.

Kakashi didn't say anything, just looked at Naruto's face.

It was Kakashi's decision to tell them this matter.

There had been unpleasantness between Naruto and those people, relying on Kakashi's understanding of Naruto over the past few days.

Kakashi decided to bring this matter to light, just in case.

Maybe if Kurenai were here, she might laugh at Kakashi for thinking too much.

But not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Konoha owes favor to the Hyuga family, and this time it must ensure that the discussions between visitors from the Kingdom of Thunder and the Hyuga family are in a safe environment.

Although, Kakashi did not think that the Naruto he knew could bring some harm to these people from the Land of Thunder.
