Hatake Kakashi

Uchiha Matsuzaki watched the figure of Chestnut Snow gradually fade into the distance, feeling a tinge of reluctance, yet he firmly believed they would meet again.

Using genjutsu for the first time really took a toll on my body. It seems I still need to achieve better integration; otherwise, bleeding every time I use it won't be good!

Still, I'm quite thrilled. The Sharingan truly lives up to its reputation. It's at the Three Tomoe stage now, but if I reach the Mangekyo, what would that even be like? Haha!

Uchiha Matsuzaki looked at the bloodstains on his hands and muttered to himself.

Just then, the sound of rapid footsteps approached from not far away.

Looking up, Uchiha Matsuzaki saw a masked ninja running toward him!

Anbu? A hidden ninja!

Uchiha Matsuzaki thought to himself as he watched the ninja dash toward him.

Soon, the Anbu ninja arrived in front of Uchiha Matsuzaki.

"Are you Uchiha Matsuzaki?"

The Anbu ninja stood before Uchiha Matsuzaki and asked.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Matsuzaki gave a slight nod.

"Very well, it seems I have the right person. I am an Anbu ninja, Hatake Kakashi. The Fourth Hokage is already aware of what just happened."

"You are to come to the Hokage Office immediately!"

Hatake Kakashi looked Uchiha Matsuzaki up and down, speaking in a measured tone.

"The Fourth Hokage? What just happened? He wants me to go to the Hokage Office?"

Uchiha Matsuzaki said, his face full of disbelief.

Hatake Kakashi nodded in response.

What had just occurred was indeed sudden, and he hadn't expected the Fourth Hokage to be alerted instead of the Military Police Force.

"Does that mean those two have already been dealt with?"

"Yes, though the Fourth Hokage has other matters to discuss with you as well!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then please lead the way, Senior Hatake Kakashi!"

With that, the two of them headed toward the Hokage Office Building.

Ten minutes later, the two stood outside the Hokage Office Building.

"Every time I pass by here, it feels so magnificent!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki said, standing outside the building.

Hatake Kakashi did not reply and continued walking forward.

Ding, please proceed to the Fourth Hokage office to sign in. Time limit: twenty minutes!

Just as Uchiha Matsuzaki was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard the system issue a mission, and the corners of his mouth curled upward slightly.

I'm truly lucky! If the Fourth hadn't summoned me, I wouldn't have been able to get into the office at all!

He looked at Hatake Kakashi and followed closely behind him.

Hatake Kakashi led Uchiha Matsuzaki quickly to the door of the Fourth Hokage office.

Hatake Kakashi signaled for Uchiha Matsuzaki to wait at the door while he went inside to report the situation.

"Sign-in initiated, twenty-minute countdown starting..."

Uchiha Matsuzaki looked around; while his expression remained calm, he was overjoyed inside. There was no telling what kind of good items this sign-in might yield.

"Uchiha Matsuzaki, come in." Hatake Kakashi called out from inside the room.

Hearing this, Uchiha Matsuzaki lifted his foot and walked inside.

The first thing he saw upon entering was the man who moved like the wind: golden hair, a handsome face, and the Fourth Hokage cloak draped over his back. This was the current Hokage, Namikaze Minato.

"Lord Fourth, greetings." Uchiha Matsuzaki said out of politeness.

Namikaze Minato smiled and turned to Hatake Kakashi, saying, "Hatake Kakashi, you may go and carry out your mission!"

Upon hearing this, Hatake Kakashi nodded and vanished from the spot in an instant.

"So you are Uchiha Matsuzaki? You don't look very old, and you seem quite slender! I never expected you to be able to subdue two grown men; you are a genius in every sense of the word!"

Namikaze Minato looked at the Uchiha Matsuzaki before him and said with a smile.
