章節 8: Chapter 8: Assignment (Edited)
Hokage's office.
On Hiruzen's desk was information about Kakashi's recent missions and activities.
Kakashi had a bad relationship with the third team, to the point that it may interfere with the successful completion of the mission.
The Hokage's assistant, Danzo, was standing with his staff in front of Hiruzen, he slowly approached and said in a deep voice, "It seems that you can't choose a suitable team for this boy, Hiruzen, in that case, you'd better give me."
Hiruzen, with his pipe in his mouth, shot a glance at Danzo and said, "Do you want to turn Sakumo's son into an insensitive tool?"
Danzo's face was expressionless, and he said, "Let me raise him, then he won't make the same mistake and become a more powerful ninja than Sakumo."
Hiruzen snorted coldly, stood up and said, "Don't tell me you came to see me specifically for this, Danzo"
Danzo looked at Hiruzen deeply and said, "No, I happened to hear about Kakashi, I came this time to ask you about your next attitude towards Kirigakure, Hiruzen are you ready to go to war, or..."
Hiruzen took a slow puff on his pipe.
He exhaled smoke rings.
He stood up and walked over to the window, looking out at the distant sky, he paused for a few seconds before saying in a deep voice, "Deter them a bit, they've gone a bit overboard with their latest skirmishes, I'll leave it to you."
"Fine."
Danzo nodded slightly and headed towards the exit of the office as he said, ".... Hiruzen, you must not waste this child's talent."
Between the two sons of Sakumo, Kakashi's revealed talent worried him a little, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it in passing, but the war was approaching and he didn't have time to worry about other things, even more so if Hiruzen didn't agree.
Hiruzen didn't respond until Danzo left the room, then he turned his head and looked in the direction Danzo had disappeared in.
He shook his head and sighed as Sakumo's figure appeared in his mind.
Sakumo's death had a great impact on Konoha.
One of the reasons why other villages are increasingly provoking Konoha was the loss of Konoha's famous White Fang.
And Sakumo's death had a great impact on Kakashi, no matter what team he was assigned to, there are always conflicts with his teammates, it has been more than two years since the day of the early graduation from the academy, but Kakashi never managed to settle down in a team, Danzo's words really had some meaning.
"Sakumo, your son is a great ninja, but he is very bad at dealing with other people..."
Sarutobi sighed and muttered softly.
Sakumo's two sons, Yeruashi and Kakashi, if Yeruashi could be called "Excellent", then Kakashi was undoubtedly a genius, as if he had inherited Sakumo's talent and maybe he could become the second white fang of Konoha in the future.
Kakashi is gradually becoming quite a serious problem, he has already organized several good teams for Kakashi, but every time, after a while, the boy would come to his office, saying that he could no longer remain in the team.
But it is impossible to give Kakashi to Danzo.
Although the Root is really suitable for Kakashi, but it would be too unfair to the late Sakumo, during his life he was practically incompatible with Danzo and would never want to see his son raised in the Root and used as a tool.
"...So be it."
After going through several options, Hiruzen finally made a decision and turned to the Anbu hiding in the office, "Call Minato."
It would be difficult to overpower Kakashi with ordinary Jounins, and the few Jounins he had thought of before that might be suitable wouldn't get along with Kakashi, which would leave only the last candidate, Namikaze Minato.
After Sakumo's death, the most suitable successor to become the Hokage was a Sannin, but neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade had any intention of becoming Hokage.
If Minato wanted to become the Yondaime Hokage, Minato would need to train some ninja from his own circle, and it would be appropriate to give Kakashi, a genius, to be trained by him.
"Yes."
Anbu accepted the Hokage's order and quickly disappeared.
Hiruzen returned to his chair, took another puff on his pipe and shook his head, saying, "...I didn't expect to have to bother Minato in the end."
Due to the tense situation in the ninja world, Minato's presence is needed in many places, so although Hiruzen thought about his candidacy from the beginning, he never made a decision, and now everything was back to square one.
After all, Minato was his favorite candidate to succeed him as Yondaime Hokage, and teaching a talented boy like Kakashi was child's play for him.
As he pondered, Hiruzen pulled out a document.
This folder contained information about some of the students of the academy, they were sorted according to the proximity of the relationship to Kakashi.
On the first page, naturally, it had Yeruashi's information, but Hiruzen gave it a quick glance and flipped it over.
It's a bit inappropriate to put two brothers in the same team, not to mention that Minato is his successor, if Yeruashi had the same talent as Kakashi, it wouldn't be a big problem, for the sake of proper training of the next generation. Some factors can be ignored, but now the voice of the people must be taken into account.
"Might guy... Uchiha Obito... Nohara Rin..."
Hiruzen pondered for a moment and made a decision.
First, if a member of the Uchiha Clan became Minato's student, then it wouldn't be too hard to resist Minato's training as the next Hokage.
Second, a boy of civilian rank, there was Might Guy, but Nohara Rin was the best candidate, so he struck a balance in all respects.
Click.
Having solved another problem, Sarutobi closed the folder and smiled with satisfaction.
Usually, the Hokage does not actively participate in the distribution of students in the academy, but Kakashi's talent deserves special attention, if he becomes a student of Minato, Hiruzen will feel much more at ease.
This will not pose any problem.
After solving Kakashi's problem, Hiruzen showed no interest in the rest of the students, putting aside the folder with information about Yeruashi and the others.
"I hope Danzo's actions will help contain Kirigakure a bit."
Hiruzen looked thoughtfully at the ceiling and muttered.
Now his main headache was the tense situation in the ninja world, the friction between the Five Great Ninja Villages is gradually increasing and Konoha is at the epicenter of it all.
There are several objective reasons for this. First, the Land of Fire has the richest resources. Secondly, Konoha took considerable advantages from its victory in the Second Ninja World War. That is why other Great Peoples have turned their eyes towards Konoha.
But Hiruzen was by no means going to give in to the other villages.
In this cruel world, if you take one step back, you will definitely be forced to take a second, to ensure peace, you must respond as harshly as possible to any threat, Hiruzen is well aware of this.
Therefore, if the situation can no longer be stabilized and a Third Ninja World War is imminent, then Konoha will attack with full force!
At that moment, the Hokage's eyes turned cold.
Having won a victory in the Second Ninja World War, Konoha has abundant resources and now their foundation is strong and stable. Although they lost the White Fang of Konoha, his disciples, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, had grown into strong ninja, and there were also rising stars like Namikaze Minato.
If war breaks out, Konoha will not fear other villages!
