Naruto: First Love

Chapter 106: The Dark Department's Butcher Knife
Twice in a row, he wanted to kill someone, but was stopped by the same person. This made him very unhappy as he had undergone hard training in the Anbu and finally became superior.

"Kakashi!" Huo Wu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person coming. The string that had been tense in her heart seemed to break all of a sudden. All the strength in her body was drained, and she fell from the air.

"Huo Wu!" Taki had been paying attention to Huo Wu. Although Kakashi's arrival surprised him a little, what surprised him even more was that Huo Wu and Kakashi seemed to have a very close relationship.

Seeing Huo Wu falling from the sky, he hurried to catch her, but was suddenly overtaken by a tall figure.

Taki's body stiffened, and he retracted his outstretched hand without leaving a trace, but the young Anbu who had not left his side saw it. There was a mocking smile in his eyes, and he suddenly became a little annoyed.

Huo Wu and Kakashi, when did they become so familiar with each other?
When she returned to school to repeat her studies, Huo Wu strongly expressed her dissatisfaction with Kakashi. She always said: Kakashi, it was obviously his own fault, but he had to find fault with us. Humph, did he think I wanted to be a ninja?

Although I didn't quite understand what Huo Wu said, I could roughly understand what she meant.

Huo Wu seemed to know something about Kakashi, and she also knew that Kakashi's original test was actually very difficult, and she also knew why Kakashi had such a test.

But Huo Wu hated Kakashi, just like they hated the other ninjas who graduated without passing the Genin exams.

However, I heard that several students who returned to the school to repeat their studies became the school's elite, passed the Genin exam the following year, and were very grateful to Kakashi.

He scoffed at this. Companions? In the rules of the Anbu, the mission comes first, and if necessary, companions can be killed - under such cruel rules, what Kakashi taught him and what he is used to now are two extremes.

After entering the Anbu, it is rare to hear gossip about other ninjas - the Anbu has always been lifeless, and there are not many ninjas who like to talk.

Everyone knows that the missions of the Anbu are all shady things. If you speak casually, you will easily expose yourself. Therefore, outside of the missions, everyone rarely chats.

"Is everything okay?"

A lazy voice sounded from behind, seeming very casual, without any tense atmosphere at all.

If Huo Wu hadn't clearly felt Kakashi's body relax when she was caught by Kakashi, she wouldn't have known that Kakashi had been nervous before.

She suddenly felt very happy. Was Kakashi worried about her?

Even though it was very embarrassing to fall down, this time, Huo Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Even though I was just exhausted, my body had no strength, and the remaining poison had not yet been cleared, I just... just wanted to stay in Kakashi's arms longer!

She pretended to be unconscious and curled up in Kakashi's arms, but she was in an extremely happy mood. If you looked carefully, you could even see Huo Wu's shoulders shaking with joy.

The moment he received Huo Wu, Kakashi knew that Huo Wu was not seriously injured. However, when he saw that there was still a little black on Huo Wu's wound, he was filled with worry.

Seeing that Huo Wu had indeed consumed too much chakra and was weak, he did not care about her little movements.

Besides, it's rare for Huo Wu to be willing to rely on him as a teacher, so just do it reluctantly and hold her.

"How is she?" Taki walked over and looked at Huo Wu carefully.

Huo Wu's face was facing inwards, and Taki didn't see her expression, so he didn't know that Huo Wu didn't faint at this time. Instead, she asked Kakashi worriedly.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, glanced at Taki, and responded casually: "She overused chakra and was invaded by toxins. I have to take her to the hospital now."

Having said that, he really hugged Huo Wu and prepared to leave.

The young Anbu boy stood in front of Kakashi first, his face gloomy.

Kakashi didn't ask why he was blocking it, but glanced at Taki.

Even though Taki doesn't like Kakashi, he knows that what Kakashi is doing now is protecting Huo Wu, and even though this young man is an Anbu, he wants to kill Huo Wu.

Based on Kakashi's own status, Taki didn't think that the person that the Anbu wanted to kill would be around Kakashi. At least such assassination missions were generally aimed at people who hindered Konoha.

It seems that Huo Wu has been assigned to Kakashi's class again this year, becoming a reserve member. According to convention, Huo Wu will not pass the Genin assessment.

However, when he was not on missions, he still tried to find out some news about Huo Wu. Although it was not much, he still knew that Huo Wu passed the Genin assessment this year, either because of good luck or increased strength.

It has been a long time since he last saw Huo Wu, and Taki still doesn't know that Huo Wu is no longer a ninja.

After fighting side by side just now (and apparently being rescued), I discovered that Huo Wu's strength is actually close to that of some ordinary Chunins.

The bald guy is obviously not from Konoha, who is Orochimaru? Konoha is looking for an S-rank rebel ninja, and as a subordinate of Orochimaru, there is no doubt that he is an enemy.

Kakashi killed it, and no one could argue with that.

This Anbu boy...

If I'm not mistaken, he is from the root, right?
The dark roots lurking in Konoha...

The Anbu directly under Lord Danzo, a mysterious organization that even the Sandaime cannot interfere with.

As for the Root, most of the other members of the Anbu kept their distance, because within that was the true darkness.

A tool devoid of emotion, a butcher's knife that lurks only in the darkness, absorbing Konoha's nutrients and supporting Konoha's darkness...

As a former ANBU senior and guiding jonin, Taki knew Kakashi a little bit.

An elite ninja who reports directly to the Sandaime, he always sticks to Konoha no matter how much darkness there is.

A boy belonging to the Root wants to attack a Genin? And this Genin is the one that Orochimaru is targeting?
Thinking of some rumors in the Anbu about Orochimaru's defection, Taki had to choose to stand on Kakashi's side.

Anbu can't know too much, and can't say something that can't be said.

But sometimes, just ‘accidentally’ hearing something during training doesn’t count as a violation of the rules.

It is said that when Orochimaru defected, Kakashi led the Anbu to hunt him down.

It is said that Orochimaru was let go by the Third Generation.

It is said that the Third Hokage severely injured Orochimaru, and Kakashi chased after him but did not see Orochimaru.

It is said that it was actually Danzo who helped Orochimaru escape.

……

He had no idea what the truth was, but as a member of the Anbu who stood on the side of the Third Hokage and as a man (?) who wanted to protect the woman he loved, he had to stand up and stop the boy's attack.

"What are you going to do? Massacre the ninjas of Konoha? That would be betrayal!"

The young man sneered disdainfully: "A ninja who is related to Orochimaru may be a spy. She must be taken back for investigation!"
