Kapitel 347: Chapter 347: Returning to Konoha Together
"Going back to Konoha with us?!"
"What do you want to do in Konoha?!"
As expected, upon hearing Yu's purpose, Kakashi almost jumped up, looking as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Look at you again..."
"After all, you're the famous Copy Ninja Kakashi in the ninja world, acting so startled like this..."
Seeing Kakashi's uneasy expression, Yu's playful smile became even more radiant, "After all, the Third Hokage is my mentor, and Konoha is the place where I grew up. Is it so strange for me to go back and have a look?"
"Is it really that simple?"
Even after hearing Yu's explanation, the suspicion and vigilance in Kakashi's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"Of course, there's also..."
"I want to take Haku and Kimimaro to Konoha to participate in this Chunin exam..."
Completely ignoring Kakashi's bewildered gaze, Yu continued speaking to himself as he took out a pass from his clothes, a permit from Star Ninja Village to participate in the Chunin exam in Konoha.
"Star Ninja Village of the Land of Bears?"
"You're taking those two—to Konoha for the Chunin exam?"
Looking at the Star Ninja Village pass in Yu's hand, Kakashi's confusion deepened. When did this guy get involved with Star Ninja Village in the Land of Bears? And with the strength of Haku and Kimimaro, why would they need to participate in the Chunin exam?
"Forget it, forget it..."
"With your current strength, I can't stop you from doing anything anyway..."
After thinking it over, Kakashi couldn't come up with a way to stop Yu. Reluctantly, he decided to give in, "In that case, let's rest here tonight and set off together tomorrow morning!"
"That's more like it..."
Seeing Kakashi finally compromise, Yu smiled slightly and turned to the two youngsters, "Haku, Kimimaro, we'll stay in the Land of Waves for the night."
"Yes, Yu-sama!" Haku and Kimimaro responded in unison.
...
"Kakashi-sensei... who exactly is this arrogant guy?"
"I heard you and that green-haired guy call him something...!"
On the way to stay at Tazuna's house, Naruto finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Kakashi beside him. Although he had met Yu once when he was young, after the incident where Yu left Konoha, he never saw him again, and the name Yakushi Yu became a taboo topic in the village of Konoha.
"It's Scarlet Yu!"
Hearing the question from the oblivious Naruto, Kakashi gave him an exasperated look before his tone turned complex, "That is the name given to him by enemies on the battlefield..."
"This name, during the previous Ninja World War, was a nightmare for all enemies on the battlefield, just like Konoha's Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash..."
At this point, Kakashi's thoughts seemed to drift far away, "He was once like us, a ninja of Konoha, and was the most favored disciple of the Third Hokage-sama... but then some things happened, which led to his departure from Konoha..."
"Hokage-sama's disciple?!"
"Then why did he leave Konoha?!"
At this moment, Sasuke and Sakura also came over, looking curious. Whether it was the instant incineration of Kurosuki Raiga with the Lava Great Eruption, or the God-Killing Spear that cut through everything and instantly killed Aoi Rokusho, these curious kids couldn't help but be fascinated by the mysterious and powerful Yu.
"This matter is not something you kids can know for now..."
"In any case, you need to remember that he is a very dangerous person..."
Facing the extremely curious looks of his three students, Kakashi paused slightly before continuing, "You should know that when he was eight years old, he was already a Jonin of Konoha..."
Eight years old?!
Jonin?!
The three kids were left with their mouths agape, unable to believe it. What kind of concept was that?!
"Once, some people said he was the strongest genius of Konoha..."
Seeing the three kids' astonished expressions, Kakashi's tone carried a hint of sighing, "But now, some say he is the strongest ninja in the current ninja world..."
The strongest genius Konoha ever had?!
The strongest ninja in the current ninja world?!
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who had just recently graduated from the Ninja Academy, were instantly overwhelmed by these heavy titles.
"Ahahaha... what nonsense are you talking about, Kakashi-sensei..."
"If we're talking about the strongest ninja in the current ninja world... of course, it's the Hokage!!"
Coming to their senses, they saw Naruto forcing a somewhat dry laugh, while Sasuke and Sakura, for once, agreed with him without arguing.
"No..."
"When he was even younger than you, he killed the then-strongest Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud on the battlefield and killed the previous Mizukage while on a mission in the Land of Water."
Facing the eager looks from Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, hoping he would agree with them, Kakashi instead revealed a heavy truth in a low voice, "And four years ago... he single-handedly destroyed the entire Hidden Cloud, conquering a whole nation..."
Killed... killed the Third Raikage and the Fourth Mizukage?!
Single-handedly destroyed the entire Hidden Cloud and conquered a nation?!
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura froze with shock, their throats feeling as if they were choked, unable to utter a word.
"And if that incident hadn't happened..."
"He might now be the Fifth Hokage of Konoha..."
Ignoring the utterly astonished expressions on Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's faces, Kakashi muttered to himself.
"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha?! Damn it..."
Hearing this, Naruto's heart shook violently. Wasn't that his lifelong dream?
"I remember this guy was in the same class as Shisui..."
"But I never thought... he would become this powerful..."
After listening to Kakashi's account, Sasuke couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. "To single-handedly destroy a ninja village, conquer a nation, and kill both the Raikage and the Mizukage..."
"If I had that kind of power, I could definitely kill that man and avenge the entire Uchiha Clan!!"
Sasuke's buried hatred was something Naruto and Sakura could not understand. After hearing Kakashi's introduction, Naruto became even more interested in Yu. He turned his head instinctively, only to meet Haku's gaze.
"Hmm?"
Walking behind with Kimimaro, Haku seemed to notice Naruto's gaze and responded with a gentle smile.
"Wha... what?!"
Seeing Haku, who was even prettier than all the girls, smile gently at him, Naruto was stunned. His face quickly turned a suspicious shade of red, and his heart began to beat faster. "That... that sister is even cuter than Sakura..."
