Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Kakashi was taken aback, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Has it really been ten years?

"Kakashi, I'm planning to have you leave the Anbu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly to Kakashi.

Kakashi immediately looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

why?

"After leaving the Anbu, you will serve as a Jonin leader, teaching students who have graduated from the Ninja Academy."

This was a decision made by Hiruzen Sarutobi after careful consideration, not on a whim.

Kakashi was taken aback: "But..."

His words were interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi raising his hand: "Kakashi, you've been in the Anbu long enough, go and enjoy life!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Kakashi a kind smile.

Kakashi is getting on in years, and it's time for him to settle down and start a family.

When Minato was Kakashi's age, he was already married to Kushina.

Kakashi: "..."

Enjoy life?

Can this word be associated with him?

Kakashi stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi, hoping he was joking.

How could he possibly teach students who have graduated from the ninja academy?

he……

Can he do it?

Seeing Kakashi's changing emotions, Hiruzen Sarutobi softened his voice and said, "Kakashi, believe in yourself."

Kakashi: "..."

He also wanted to believe in himself.

Kakashi exhaled and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "I understand, Hokage-sama."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.

"Zero completed his mission quickly and should be back in less than six months."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Kakashi.

Kakashi was taken aback, and his eyes lit up.

Upon meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi's gossipy gaze, Kakashi's lips twitched slightly before he regained his composure: "Really? That's great news."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and leaned back in his chair: "The reason I agreed to let Zero go out on a long-term mission was so that she could relax. What happened recently really hurt her too much."

Kakashi fell silent.

No one expected that Itachi Uchiha would slaughter the entire Uchiha clan.

Kakashi suddenly frowned.

His gaze swept over the Hokage.

Really...

Does nobody know?

Or is it that only Zero and the others are kept in the dark?

Once doubts arise, they are difficult to dispel.

Kakashi had met Itachi Uchiha.

It can be said that Uchiha Itachi was the most talented ninja Kakashi had ever seen, apart from Zero.

Itachi Uchiha possessed a maturity and composure far beyond his years.

Zero always speaks highly of Itachi Uchiha when he talks about him.

Would Itachi Uchiha really commit the act of wiping out the Uchiha clan?

Kakashi suppressed his doubts.

Chapter 329 Hero's Water!!!

Takigakure is a ninja village with a very special geographical location.

It is hidden behind a huge natural waterfall.

Because of its unique geographical location, Takigakure Village was spared from war even though it was surrounded by the four major nations.

It is said that Takigakure has a family heirloom called Hero's Water, which can increase a ninja's chakra by dozens of times.

Rei Amamiya didn't really believe the rumor.

If such a treasure truly exists, no matter where Takigakure is hidden, the ninjas of the great nations will be able to dig it up.

Since the great ninjas didn't do that, it means that the Hero's Water of Takigakure isn't as effective as rumored.

Although Rei Amamiya didn't believe it, he wouldn't miss any opportunity to increase his chakra.

His 200 million chakra reserves certainly make him stand out in the ninja world, but later on, there will be the Ten-Tails, Six Paths Madara, Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Otsutsuki clan...

Compared to these inhuman creatures, two hundred million chakra is nothing.

Therefore, Rei Amamiya decided to send Shisui to Takigakure Village to find the Hero's Water.

Given that Takigakure still has a Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Rei Amamiya plans to take a two-pronged approach.

Shisui seeks the Hero's Water, while Rin seeks the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

The two were able to work together at crucial moments, staging a heroic rescue of the village.

Upon receiving Rei Amamiya's orders, Shisui immediately headed to Takigakure Village.

There are many waterfalls in the Land of Waterfalls, but Rinzo has the Byakugan, so finding Takigakure Village is not difficult.

The waterfall that obscures Takigakure Village is enormous, resembling a silver dragon descending from the sky, roaring as it plunges towards the ground, splashing countless droplets of water.

After finding the location, Rinzo told Shisui the exact address in his mind.

Shisui quickly appeared in front of the waterfall. After glancing at the huge waterfall, Shisui's gaze fell on Rin beside him.

Rin frowned. "What are you looking at?"

Even if he is just a clone, he still has the ability to control still water!

Shisui sensed the hostility emanating from the people around him, and he turned his gaze back to the waterfall in front of him.

"I'll go in first."

Shisui smiled at the people around him and walked into the waterfall.

Rinzo's gaze met Shisui's; he planned to send Shisui in to scout ahead first.

The water soaked Zhi Shui's entire body as he passed through the waterfall, and a bright and clear view suddenly appeared before him.

A sunny, picturesque village came into view.

Shisui wrung out his wet clothes and walked toward the village nestled among the mountains in the distance.

"Wait, you are..."

At the foot of the mountain, the ninja guarding the gate of Takigakure Village reached out and stopped Shisui.

Before the Takigakure ninja could finish speaking, a ray of red light was reflected in his eyes.

The Takigakure ninja lowered his hand, stepped aside expressionlessly, and allowed Shisui to enter the village.

Shisui had nothing on him that could prove he was a ninja. He walked the streets of Takigakure like an ordinary person.

Shisui looked around and saw that Takigakure Village was no different from Konoha, except that it was not as prosperous as Konoha. However, the people of Takigakure Village all had simple and honest smiles on their faces.

Despite the fact that isolation from the outside world has led to underdevelopment, this peaceful and secluded life is something many people aspire to.

Zhi Shui stepped onto the cobblestone path and entered a sparsely populated alley.

He leaped onto the rooftops, his figure darting swiftly through Takigakure Village.

"Eh?"

Did something just fly by?

Under the eaves, the owner of the red bean cake shop looked at the roof of the shop across the street, rubbed his eyes, and said.

"It must be a bird!"

His wife, standing beside him, said nonchalantly.

The boss was suspicious: Could there really be such a big bird?

But there doesn't seem to be any other explanation.

It can't be a ninja, can it?

There are not many ninjas in Takigakure, and even fewer missions are assigned to them. It is rare to see ninjas moving around on the rooftops.

Zhi Shui stopped on a rooftop, then leaped down, landing smoothly on the ground without making a sound.

What appeared before Zhishui was a two-story circular wooden tower.

It is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Takigakure village.

The Hero's Water is very likely located here.

"stop!"

The two ninjas at the door frowned as they saw Shisui approaching and assumed an attack stance.

However, after Shisui walked openly into the tower, they acted as if nothing had happened and continued to guard outside the door.

Rin, watching everything unfold through Shisui's eyes: "..."

Illusions are so useful!

Especially with genjutsu activated by the Sharingan, a simple glare from the eyes is enough, saving time and effort.

Upon entering the tower, Shisui deflected the shuriken that came his way.

Shisui looked at the ninja in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This ninja has a huge amount of chakra.

It was so large that it seemed out of place in this ninja village.

"The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki".

The sound of Rinzo echoed in Shisui's mind.

"who are you?"

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki's expression turned grave: "How dare you trespass into Takigakure!"

Before Shisui could answer, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki immediately entered battle mode.

A pair of wings quickly unfolded behind him.

Fluorescent blue scales floated from his mouth toward the still water.

Shisui's vision was completely obscured by the scales in front of him.

A flash of red light passed through Shisui's eyes.

The three-tomoe jade ornaments swirled in his eyes.

The buzzing sound of wings vibrating could be heard in the air.

Shisui turned around, and seven chakra tails suddenly appeared before him.

The tail barb, sharper than a blade, pierced deeply into Shisui's body.

Zhi Shui was nailed to the mottled wall of the tower like a powerless rag doll.
