"Gintoki-san, the little tricks you taught me to hide myself are so useful. Even Kakashi didn't notice us."
Looking at this gentle, cute, kind and smiling girl, Gintoki also felt a little emotional as to why such a girl had such bad luck in the original novel.
"Yeah! That's right! I feel like I'm stronger than Kakashi now!"
Obito also announced proudly while eating rice.
Hearing the sound, Kakashi, who was cooking Lin's dinner in the kitchen, also turned around, stared at Gintoki's dead fish eyes except for the color of his eyes, and pointed at his Konoha forehead protector.
It means: Guys who haven't graduated and are not even ninjas should stop talking nonsense. It's better to graduate first.
"I will definitely graduate in one go this time! Don't underestimate me, Kakashi! I will definitely become a very powerful ninja like Gintoki-san!"
Oh boy! Gintoki on the side also complained in his heart.
"Well, I believe you, Obito!"
Rin, who had her eyes bent and a smile on her face, looked at Obito beside her with a smile. Obito, who had just begun to fall in love, blushed because of his sweetheart's trust and silently looked away.
Although he dislikes the rancid smell of love, Gintoki is still curious about something, and that is Rin's thoughts.
Does she like Kakashi or Obito?
"What's wrong, Gintoki-san?"
Looking at Gintoki, who was staring at her as if thinking about something, Lin also tilted her head in confusion.
"It doesn't matter, I just think the triangle relationship is the most stable."
"Huh?" Lin and Obito tilted their heads at the same time, but then Obito got stuck because he was eating the fish too quickly.
Seeing Obito, who was beating his chest and stamping his feet, and his face turned green when the fish was stuck in his throat, Rin immediately panicked.
Kakashi, who was still behind Obito, used his knife to make Obito spit out half of the fish in his mouth, saving Obito from the fate of choking to death while eating.
"What are you doing! I can swallow the fish if I push harder!"
"Don't swallow it hard but spit it out!"
Seeing Kakashi and Obito arguing, and Lin trying to break up the fight, Gintoki rolled his eyes and made up his mind.
…
April is both the graduation season and the beginning of school.
Obito and Rin, who passed the ninja school graduation exam and became genin, also became the well-known yellow flash subordinates in Konoha.
And Kakashi, who moved from team to team and could never get along with his companions, also became a member of Minato's class.
This kind of thing was originally impossible. After all, the combination of Yellow Flash and Hatake's eldest son is the most representative and famous two-person team in Konoha.
…
Kakashi, who had just become a member of Minato's squad, could not understand such a development. Especially when he learned that his eldest brother was leaving the village alone to carry out a long-term secret mission, he was keenly aware that something was wrong.
There is no so-called farewell ceremony. At this moment, the major powers in the ninja world are surging with undercurrents. One minute late, important information may be missed and they will become passive. Therefore, Gintoki set off on the evening of the day he received the mission.
Kakashi sent Gintoki to the entrance of the village. After hesitating for a long time, he turned away and said in a low voice:
"be safe……"
"Um…"
After a faint response, Gintoki glanced at Kakashi gently, and then disappeared in front of him in an instant.
…
It is Gintoki's mission to go to the border of Sand Country, pay close attention to the movements of Sunagakure, who seems to be plotting something recently, and convey the information back to Konoha.
This very dangerous task originally belonged to someone else, but Gintoki took the initiative.
Minato objected, but after high-level discussions, the task was finally given to Gintoki.
Because of this, the two-person team was broken up, leaving the little Taiyang Namikaze Minato alone. Under the arrangement of the third generation, he became the leader of the team.
In fact, it was to help Minato brush up his qualifications. If he had never even become a jounin, it would be difficult to rely on his reputation to become Hokage.
The innocent kid at the tail end of the Uchiha clan and the genius and problem boy of Konoha naturally became Minato's subordinates, and all of this was paving the way for Minato.
Not long after leaving the village gate, Gintoki, who was heading towards his destination, suddenly stopped.
"Gintoki, please be safe."
"ah…"
After clearly seeing the figure waiting for him to say goodbye, Gintoki responded with a voice as rotten as a dead fish can, as always, and then quickly left again as the person passed by.
"Please Kakashi."
After hearing the first request from his teammate of three years, Minato nodded heavily.
"Well, leave it to me Kakashi."
Seeing Gintoki's back disappear after several flashes, Minato finally understood why Gintoki took the initiative to take on such a task.
It's all for that little brother Kakashi.
…
One year later, when Gintoki's body was eleven years old, the Third Ninja War, which left a strong mark on the history of the ninja world, officially began.
The first ones to take action were not the powerful Kumogakure, but Iwagakure and Sunagakure.
With the disappearance of the third Kazekage and the disappearance of his doting grandson Xia, Chiyo, who took control of Sunagakure, immediately counterattacked Iwagakure after the country was invaded by Iwagakure, and at the same time divided his troops into two groups to target the other spearhead.
He met Konoha, who had a family and national hatred against him.
After all, women’s thoughts are very simple, that is, if their own family is not doing well, other families should not be able to think about how well they are doing!
Because of Gintoki's very timely investigation report at the border, Konoha was not caught off guard. Instead, under the command of the Third Generation and senior officials, troops were mobilized to punish the generals in an orderly manner.
Of course, this orderliness needs to be put in double quotes, because Tsunade, one of the three people, is not in the village currently. Chiyo is good at using poison, and the only one who can restrain this is Tsunade from Konoha.
So this time, the third generation also lost his old face and sent countless letters hoping that Tsunade would come back. Even if he couldn't fight, only Tsunade could do the detoxification.
The Third Generation failed to wait for Tsunade's reply, but waited for Kumogakure and Iwagakure to launch a joint attack on Konoha. It was no longer important who took the lead. Konoha had truly reached its most critical moment.
At the same time, Kirigakure also began to pay close attention to the war and dispatched manpower, of course, mainly targeting Konoha.
One against four, the country will be destroyed if you are not careful, so this time, the various families in Konoha also put aside all their grudges and went to various battlefields to meet the enemy under the command of high-level officials.
…
Orochimaru was originally very curious about Gintoki, the eldest son of the Hatake family, but after arriving at the battlefield, he instantly lost his affection when he heard the other person shouting "baba".
The battlefield was divided, and those fighting against the main force of Sagakure were Orochimaru and Jiraiya, the second of the three ninjas, as well as the ninjas of Konoha.
To the surprise of many people, Gintoki, who was not yet twelve years old, also became one of Konoha's important commanders on the Sunagakure battlefield.
His status is only lower than Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
