Kakashi, by seniority, he'd have to call you nii-san too

"Hagoromo? Long time no see."

Kakashi, who was wearing a mask, was taken aback for a moment, then nodded calmly to Hagoromo.

Seeing this, Hagoromo stepped aside and then said to Hiruzen Sarutobi on the sofa:

"Teacher, I must take my leave now."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

After all, it's best not to get involved in what Kakashi, the Anbu Captain, is reporting.

"No need, Hagoromo, please listen too."

Hiruzen Sarutobi up and spoke to Hagoromo.

Hearing this, Hagoromo, who was about to close the door, was taken aback, but had no choice but to come back in.

"Kakashi, tell me the specific information you found."

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked behind the Hokage's desk, sat down in the chair, and began to speak.

"Yes, Lord Hiruzen Generation!"

Kakashi bowed and then began to report on the mission.

As Kakashi spoke, Hagoromo couldn't help but secretly observe Kakashi.

I don't know if it's because of recent tasks or something else.

Kakashi's indifference grew stronger and stronger; he was now like a machine.

You have to understand, this was just a few months ago when I first met Kakashi.

He still retains a semblance of humanity.

Is it because of the killings during the mission?

As Kakashi continued his narration, Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows gradually furrowed.

Since his last appearance, the Masked Man has remained completely undetected, as if he had never set foot in the Land of Fire.

This almost eroded the confidence of the members of the Anbu, after all, because of this matter.

The entire Anbu was fully committed to the task.

"By the way, Lord Hiruzen, our spies from the Land of Rice Fields have sent word."

"I heard that a new ninja village is being built there."

Upon hearing this news, Yu Hagoromo looked up.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also taken aback, then looked at Hagoromo beside him.

Hagoromo received Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

Kakashi, standing to the side, looked at Hagoromo with a slightly puzzled expression.

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned back in his office chair and slowly said:

"Hagoromo, talk to Kakashi."

"Yes, Master." Hagoromo nodded in response.

He then began to explain to Kakashi his encounter with Orochimaru a couple of days ago and his speculation about the new ninja village.

Even Kakashi, who is usually unmoved by anything, was taken aback when he heard this.

"Therefore, Captain Kakashi, I think we should be cautious about this ninja village."

These days, the major ninja villages are almost all checking and balancing each other.

Small ninja villages either rely on the Five Great Nations or struggle to survive.

Every now and then, a small ninja village would be destroyed, and then a new one would be established.

For the Five Great Nations, this applies to anything that poses a threat to them.

They generally don't care, after all, it's not something they care about.

The benefits of destroying these small ninja villages are not as great as the benefits that the Five Great Nations would gain from harassing their respective borders.

Moreover, since the fishpond is a mixed bag, they can also get some small ninja villages to do some things for them.

This way, we won't be caught off guard and another ninja war could break out.

Orochimaru?

Even Kakashi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, after all, the title of the Sannin was not something to be taken lightly.

It was earned through countless battles and victories; beneath this title lie countless lives.

Kakashi couldn't help but glance at Hagoromo beside him, regardless of whether it was a fluke or not.

Having managed to escape from Orochimaru, Hagoromo's strength is not to be underestimated.

"Kakashi, let the Anbu recall the reconnaissance mission to the Land of Rice Fields."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order to Kakashi.

"Yes, Lord Hiruzen."

Kakashi nodded in response, after all, if it really were Orochimaru, no matter how many Anbu went, they would just be sent to their deaths.

As for Uchiha Itachi and Shisui, we can forget about them for now.

After explaining the mission, Kakashi took his leave.

Hagoromo Yi rubbed her nose and after a while spoke, "Master, Captain Kakashi's current condition is not a good thing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi Might Guy was taken aback, then sighed and said, "You're not the only one who said that; Jonin Guy also came to talk to me about it the other day."

Might Guy?

Hagoromo nodded knowingly, after all.

Might Guy can definitely be considered Kakashi's best friend, so it's not surprising that he cares about him.

"In a while, I'll have Kakashi leave the Anbu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment before speaking.

"Alright, then I won't bother Master any longer."

Hagoromo waved her hand and prepared to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hagoromo until he was about to open the door before speaking.

"Hagoromo, you'll be promoted to class monitor of the teachers' class at the start of the new semester."

Hagoromo was taken aback by these words and turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, the class monitor of the teachers' class can be said to have the most power besides the principal.

In modern terms, it would be equivalent to the position of a dean of students.

"Master, are you planning to slack off?"

Hagoromo asked with a puzzled expression.

Hiruzen Sarutobi retorted irritably, "I'm almost at the end of my life! Can't you let me have some peace and quiet?"

"Hey, hey, you should take better care of your health. After all, Konohamaru is waiting to play with you."

Hagoromo replied casually, then closed the door behind her.

"You brat." Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled, then looked out the window.

"Hmm? Captain Kakashi?"

As Hagoromo was about to leave the Hokage Building, he saw Kakashi leaning against a pillar and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Okay, the handover is complete. Shall we take a walk together?"

Kakashi straightened up and extended an invitation to Hagoromo.

Hagoromo looked Kakashi up and down, then nodded and said, "No problem."

The two walked silently through the streets of Konoha, surrounded by all sorts of Konoha.

"Hagoromo, how's Naruto doing lately?"

After a long while, Kakashi finally spoke and asked.

"Not bad, this kid just won first place in the competition yesterday," Hagoromo said.

"A match?" Kakashi was taken aback, then asked.

"Yes, it's an assessment conducted among my disciples based on their cultivation achievements," Hagoromo said slowly after carefully considering her words.

"Okay, I'll take my leave now." Kakashi replied after a long pause.

"Captain Kakashi, if you're really concerned, why don't you talk to Naruto about it? After all, according to seniority, he should call you 'older brother'."

Hagoromo, seeing Kakashi about to leave, couldn't help but speak up.

Kakashi paused for a moment before continuing on his way.

"Nissan..."

In the gentle breeze, Kakashi's murmur didn't carry far.

Hagoromo Yi shook her head, regarding Kakashi's situation.

Only someone with Might Guy's personality could guide him; after all, who would persistently stay by Kakashi's side forever?
