The early morning sunlight poured into the window and shone on Sasuke's depressed face.
Ever since the night when Kyuubi went berserk, he had been staying in this lounge in the ANBU building without even taking a step out of the door.
At this time, Kakashi walked in with a plate of breakfast: "Sasuke, come and have breakfast."
Sasuke looked at Kakashi indifferently: "How long are you going to keep me here?"
"We are protecting you."
Kakashi explained patiently.
"Protection?" After a pause, Sasuke snorted: "I don't need your protection!"
Kakashi handed the breakfast to Sasuke and said seriously: "Sasuke, your talent is very high, but it is precisely because of this that it will bring you a lot of unexpected troubles."
Sasuke closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his dark eyes were already scarlet red, and the two magatama slowly rotated: "Do you think I will be afraid of trouble?"
Kakashi was a little helpless.
But he also understood, because Sasuke did have the ability to be arrogant.
Anyone who awakens the twin Magatama Sharingan at the age of seven and can easily subdue the rampaging Kyuubi has the qualifications to be arrogant.
Seeing that Kakashi couldn't make the decision, Sasuke went to eat breakfast by himself.
Halfway through eating, he asked casually: "By the way, how is that guy?"
"We are out of danger."
Kakashi raised the corner of his mouth.
He knew that Sasuke was asking about Naruto, and he could feel Sasuke's concern for Naruto, although Sasuke tried his best to hide it.
After a moment, Sasuke asked doubtfully: "Why is there such a monster in that guy's body? Is he really the son of the fox demon?"
Kakashi hesitated for a moment and then told the truth: "Naruto is the Jinchūriki of our Konoha Village!"
Then, he briefly explained to Sasuke what a Jinchuuriki was.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have said so much.
But Sasuke's Sharingan has the ability to subdue the Nine-Tails, and he may become the best candidate for the village to deal with the Nine-Tails rampage in the future, so the third generation has already hinted to him that he should reveal some information about Naruto to the
Sasuke.
"Hmph, can a guy like that also become the village's secret weapon? I think it's better for you to change to another one!"
Sasuke looked disdainful.
Kakashi shook his head: "If the nine tails in Naruto's body are transferred now, Naruto will die, because for the jinchūriki, losing the tailed beast is equal to death!"
Sasuke was silent for a while, then uttered: "Pathetic guy."
Kakashi smiled and said: "Sasuke, I remember you are classmates. I hope you can take care of him in the future."
Sasuke instinctively wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered something: "I don't have that kind of free time! Let me out quickly, I'm going to kill that person!"
"Itachi?"
As soon as he heard this name, Sasuke's expression became ferocious, and he gasped: "I want to kill him with my own hands!"
Kakashi advised: "You can't kill him now."
Sasuke glared at Kakashi: "I have awakened the Sharingan!"
Kakashi was unmoved, shook his head and said: "It's not enough. Itachi is the most powerful Uchiha I have ever seen. Your talent is definitely above him, but you are no match for him now!"
When Sasuke was about to argue.
Whoa...
An ANBU suddenly appeared at the door of the room: "Hokage-sama summons!"
Kakashi looked serious: "What happened?"
"The base of Platycodon Mountain was attacked last night, and all five teams stationed there were killed!"
...
In the practice field.
As usual, Shinji came here early to practice the 'breathing method'.
He found that as his body gradually adapted to the 'breathing method', his strength, speed, reaction, and even the efficiency of refining chakra had significantly improved.
Then through the memory fragments in his mind, and comparing the improvement speed of the dozen or so swordsmen who practiced 'Water Breathing', his improvement became even more obvious.
Because of this, he gradually fell in love with practicing the 'breathing method'.
This kind of visible improvement in strength is really addictive.
"A person with my status interferes with the ninja world, so what is his purpose?"
While practicing the 'breathing method', he was still analyzing what happened last night.
His duty is to protect the ninja world, and the mysterious voice calls him the "Lamp Holder", so it can be inferred that "Lamp Holder" is the name of people like him who protect a certain world.
The unknown lantern holder who disturbed the ninja world last night is probably the guardian of other worlds.
If this is the case, then there should be no conflict of interest between Shinji and the other party. Everyone should just keep their own responsibilities and perform their duties.
But the other party's behavior last night, no matter how you interpret it, is obviously hostile.
"We will search for enemies again at night, hoping to find the intruder this time!"
Shinji looked solemn.
After understanding that behind this invasion, there may be a mysterious lantern holder like myself who is most likely responsible for guarding the world.
He realized that the situation was very serious.
The more the other party wants to avoid him, the less he wants to let the other party succeed.
Because the other party interferes, it has actually sent a message, that is, the other party needs time, maybe to make some preparations, maybe to collect intelligence.
In short, the other party doesn't really want to confront him head-on as soon as he invades.
"I was helpless when he interfered this time. It must be because I don't have enough authority..."
Shinji only discovered yesterday that the mysterious voice was not incapable of communication. The reason why the other party ignored him before was probably because of the word "preparation" in the word "preparation" for "preparation".
In other words, he is not yet a true lamp-bearer in the ninja world.
...
Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage looked at the four Anbu lined up in front of him, led by Kakashi, and said: "The Kikyo Mountain outpost was attacked, and all the personnel stationed there were killed."
Kakashi asked: "Hokage-sama, who is the attacker?"
Sandai shook his head.
Mito Kadoyan on the side said: "The last messenger eagle released from the outpost only mentioned that it was attacked by a mysterious man, but did not mention the identity of the other party."
Kakashi's heart sank: "Will it be a war?"
Attacking the Konoha outpost is not something that ordinary forces dare to do, so when this happens, people can't help but think of war.
The third generation said in a deep voice: "So the village needs to know what happened there."
"Understood."
Kakashi answered together with the other three ANBU.
Mito Kadoyan continued to add: "The support team has already set off. Remember, your squad's task is to confirm the identity and purpose of the enemy, assess the severity of the situation, and the task priority is the highest!"
Kakashi looked serious.
He understood the elder's subtext.
That is, in the event of an emergency, you can abandon the support team that set out early, and even your teammates in the same class, and you must ensure that key information is sent back to the village... This chapter has been completed!
