Not only her, but another elite ANBU team in the same area also suddenly appeared behind Shizune, blocking all the paths that these young genin could take.
Do you even know who you are standing here in?
"Ninja!"
"A Konoha ninja!"
"The first thing a ninja needs to learn is: obey orders."
"However, are you all driven by your own selfish desires, openly disobeying the captain's orders, and wanting to return to the Ninja Academy to repeat your studies with those younger kids?"
"I'm so disappointed in you," Mute continued to scold.
It's one thing to worry about what happened between her and Kakashi, but these juniors are the future of Konoha, the hope of Konoha!
Any mishap in any of these areas would be unacceptable to them.
It was precisely because of this protective instinct that Kakashi chose to go to see that person alone, without bringing any of his subordinates!
But these little guys didn't understand the former's good intentions at all.
The rebuke immediately silenced the five little ones who wanted to break through and follow. One of them moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he was unable to make any rebuttal.
"The Uchiha clan is no longer our ally; they could become our enemy again at any time!"
"Rushing into contact will only bring danger."
"If you really want to get something back from that person, then train hard and become stronger, instead of wasting your lives with just a surge of enthusiasm!"
The sound of silence was powerful and resonant.
This completely changed her soft image as a woman and a medical ninja.
At the same time, these words were not only spoken to the little ones in front of him, but also to himself.
When she and Lady Tsunade, who were out of the loop, heard about the changes in Konoha and that the instigator of these changes was Uchiha Ara, she was also plunged into great disbelief.
This is not only because the Uchiha clan, as one of the founders of Konoha, had no reason to attack their own hometown, but also because they and Lady Tsunade had met the clan's leader in the Land of Hot Springs.
Justice, kindness, principles, and of course, the good looks and considerable strength characteristic of the Uchiha clan—these were her first impressions of that person.
Unexpectedly, this very being, whom I felt a certain degree of friendliness towards, committed an unforgivable sin against Konoha!
Even if there were some twists and turns in the process,
However, from that day on, Uchiha Ara and the Uchiha clan behind him, and even the current Youkai Village, have become potential enemies that can be easily triggered!
"Did you understand everything?"
Silent, stern eyes swept over the few small creatures in her field of vision one by one.
The latter also saw the growing cold determination in the woman's eyes.
"Yes, Shizune-senpai."
Filled with complex emotions, the children could only respond in a compromising manner.
Upon hearing the answer she wanted, the stern look in Shizune's eyes softened.
"Now, I'll go and bring Sakura back."
"Hinata, you will be in charge of assessing the situation from now on. If you find any excessive behavior from the Youkai Village ninjas, immediately lead your team to retreat."
She then made arrangements for her departure.
The reason for entrusting the team to Hinata was that, in the current situation, only the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan could immediately discern whether the situation was good or bad.
Moreover, it's time for them to form their own teams and adapt to the increasingly challenging surrounding environment.
"You should also know the mission you bear."
Before leaving, he also made sure to speak to the elite members of the Dark Guard behind him.
"Even if it costs us our lives, we will ensure that the flames of Konoha continue to burn."
Without any hesitation, the leader of the dark forces responded in a deep voice.
Even through the eyes visible beneath his mask, one could see his determination and seriousness.
"Leave it to you."
After leaving behind her unspoken entrustment, Shizune immediately set off to chase after Sakura in the direction she had gone.
Hopefully, that person will remember our past relationship...
【No,】
How could I have made the same mistake that I was already certain of?
How can we place our hopes on someone like that!
As they rushed towards it, the glimmer of hope that had just appeared on their faces turned cold again in the next second.
........
"Are you just going to leave like this?"
"I thought you would stay and say hello."
A clear, cool voice came from the forest.
No, perhaps this can no longer be called a forest, but rather a desolate desert with only a few surviving giant trees remaining!
Such a meaningful voice and words immediately aroused the vigilance and even hostility of the demon's group.
In fact, long before Kakashi Hatake appeared, they had already sensed a powerful chakra energy rapidly approaching with a clear objective.
They didn't take any drastic actions because their leader hadn't given the order to fight, and the enemy showed no signs of concealing their presence.
However, what the other party said after revealing himself immediately aroused the attention of the hidden demons.
[Leaving so soon?]
Are they planning to keep them here?
"Oh, it's Kakashi-senpai."
"I left in a hurry last time and didn't retrieve anything that belonged to my people."
"how?"
"Are you here to return it yourself?"
Ara did not treat Kakashi Hatake with much kindness.
Aside from the fact that the two now belong to different camps, it's also because he believes he has already repaid the debt of gratitude he once owed.
The most important point is that he did not retrieve such a powerful space-time Mangekyou Sharingan when he left Konoha.
Such a merciless confrontation left Kakashi Hatake momentarily speechless and dazed.
Throughout the entire arena, apart from Kakashi, Sasori was the most moved.
His gaze was urgent and aggressive as he looked at the Konoha ninja in his field of vision. The slight shift in his body indicated that he would do everything in his power to capture this prey as soon as his master gave the order.
After all, the other party possesses the eyes of the Uchiha clan!
I never imagined that the perfect art I've been pursuing would see the light of day so quickly!
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't return this eye to you right now."
"Because this is what my friend entrusted to me."
After a short while, Kakashi Hatake managed to extricate himself from this increasingly passive situation.
He originally intended to entice Uchiha Ara into his own rhetoric, but he didn't expect to fall into the other party's trap.
At the same time, his gaze involuntarily swept over the red-haired youth who harbored great hostility and longing towards him.
This guy must be the genius mold maker who left Sunagakure twenty years ago, after all, there are obvious signs of artificiality on his exposed upper body.
"Of course, I didn't come here to fight you."
"The feud between Konoha and Yokai will naturally be formally resolved in the future. At that time, our Fifth Hokage will consult with Lord Yokai."
After responding to Uchiha Ara's response, Hatake Kakashi quickly steered the topic back onto his own path.
Furthermore, like many others, he was given the title "Shadow".
This indicates that, to some extent, or perhaps due to the current situation, he also acknowledged the current identity and status of the person before him.
"I wanted to ask you about someone, or rather, about you and the members of Akatsuki."
"Regarding my subordinate, Naruto Uzumaki."
Kakashi clearly understood that Naruto's disappearance had nothing to do with the Hidden Demon Village.
Otherwise, news of the Nine-Tails settling in the Land of Hot Springs should have appeared long ago.
However, the Akatsuki organization is different. As a force that aims to hunt tailed beasts, it is highly suspected of being involved in Naruto's disappearance.
However, due to the reconstruction of Konoha and the new wave of geopolitical influences in the surrounding area, Konoha currently does not have enough manpower to search for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
"If there is still even a little bit of affection between you and me, and between you and him."
"Please tell me where that child is."
"As you probably know, he has suffered a lot all along."
After a brief silence, Kakashi Hatake added further.
And it was through such subtle manipulation of emotions that Huang made a compromising response;
"Naruto Uzumaki's disappearance has nothing to do with the Hidden Demon Village."
"scorpion."
Due to the continued coma of the Explosive Boy, all the intelligence about the Akatsuki organization naturally fell to this genius mold maker.
"Yes, Master."
"The Akatsuki organization did not hunt down the Nine-Tails."
Scorpion responded very simply.
This answer clearly left Kakashi Hatake somewhat dissatisfied.
But before he could ask any more questions about the details, Huang abruptly interrupted him, preventing him from speaking:
