Something unexpected happened, and Kai had no intention of wandering around Konoha.
He pulled Kong along without stopping.
Passed through several familiar streets and walked straight in the direction of Konoha Orphanage.
Although he has changed into the skin of a Land of Rice Fields businessman, Orphanage is full of people close to him.
Before Kai could reveal his identity, Might Duy in the yard made an excited sound.
"Son--! You are back!"
Might Duy's green light flashed out from the yard and hugged Kai.
Then Might Duy saw Sora and his eyes lit up.
"Eh? Son, are you bringing another kid back?"
Kai nodded slightly and patted Kong's shoulder. "This is Kong. He will stay here for a few days. After a while, I will take him away."
"Haha! Okay! How many days should we stay!"
Might Duy waved his hand.
"I'm counting the days, it's time for you to come back. It just so happens that you can celebrate your birthday here before leaving!"
Kai was slightly startled when he heard this.
Indeed.
It is now December 26th and his birthday is January 1st.
In four days, it will be his 17th birthday.
"I'm 17 years old... time flies so fast."
Kai's expression was slightly dazed, his eyes unconsciously cast in the direction of Hokage Rock in the distance, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
But he quickly thought of another question.
Hinata's birthday is December 27th.
Tomorrow!
Land of Lightning Envoy chose to come to Konoha at this time.
"The purpose is indeed not pure..."
Kai sneered in his heart, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
It seems that this time, the other party's plan has not changed.
Even ahead of schedule!
Just when Kai was thinking this, a little guy ran over in the yard.
He has short blond hair and three cute beard lines on his small face.
At this moment, he approached Sora curiously, stretched out his chubby little hand and poked Sora's arm.
"Hey, why does your smell look so familiar? Who are you?"
The milky voice was full of undisguised curiosity.
It is Naruto Uzumaki, now three years old.
Sora was startled by this sudden closeness.
Subconsciously, he shrank behind Kai and tightly grasped Kai's clothes with both hands.
He had been locked up in a deep house with a horse since he was a child. Except for his father and a few guardian ninja, he had almost no contact with outsiders.
Faced with Naruto's familiar energy, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Kai looked down at Naruto and grinned.
"This is Sora, Naruto, take him to play with you for a while."
Naruto tilted his head and looked at Kong, then showed a big smile:
"Okay! Let's go, I'll take you to see my pile of Sand Castle!"
As he said this, he stretched out his hand to empty it.
Sora looked at Kai nervously, with help and uneasiness in his eyes.
Kai waved his hand and said in a gentle but firm tone, "Go, you are very safe here, just don't worry."
Sora hesitated for a moment, then was finally pulled by Naruto, and walked back towards the yard three times a step.
Kai watched the two children disappear around the corner of the courtyard wall, and the smile on his face faded slightly.
At that moment, when Naruto was close to Kong, he clearly noticed the faint fluctuation in Naruto's body.
That was Chakra of Nine-Tails, which emitted waves of consciousness at that moment.
It is sensing emptiness.
Feel that this child also has Nine-Tails Chakra flowing in his body.
But that consciousness poked its head out, and as soon as it caught Kai's gaze, it shrank back.
"You know the truth."
Kai snorted in his heart.
Nine-Tails This guy's wisest choice is to stay honest in front of Kai.
"Dad, I'm going out for a while."
Kai looked back and said to Dai.
Might Duy didn't ask any more questions, just patted him on the shoulder. "Come back early for dinner!"
"Okay."
Kai turned and left Orphanage.
His footsteps were familiar, and after a few dodgers, he appeared silently outside Hokage Building.
Stake-Walking Afterimage Step used it, and Kai instantly appeared outside Hokage's office.
As soon as his figure settled down, a figure wearing a Anbu mask at the door immediately alerted him.
His hand was already on the handle of the short knife at his waist.
"Kakashi, I haven't seen you for such a long time. Is this how you greet an old friend?"
Kai didn't wait for the opponent to pull out the knife, but his hand was already on the back of the opponent's hand.
The force was not heavy, but it firmly stopped the opponent's movements.
Although the person in front of me is wearing a mask and standard Anbu attire, he has the iconic white hair.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Kakashi?
Behind Anbu's mask, the exposed eyes were slightly startled.
He looked up and down at the plain-looking Land of Rice Fields businessman in front of him.
After a moment, he hesitated and said:
"Kay?"
"Who else could it be if not me?"
Kai laughed and patted Kakashi on the shoulder.
Then the facial muscles adjusted slightly at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to their original appearance.
Kakashi curled his lips:
"You guys are getting bolder and bolder."
"With the reputation of being a traitor, you dare to appear directly at Hokage Building in broad daylight?"
"What are you afraid of? It's not the first time."
Kai shrugged.
"Please inform me, I want to see Mr. Fourth Hokage."
Kakashi was about to speak when a gentle and steady voice came from the office:
"Come in."
The voice of Minato Namikaze came through the door panel.
His perception of space fluctuations is extremely keen, which is unmatched by anyone in Konoha.
As early as the moment Kai appeared, he probably noticed it.
Kai smiled at Kakashi, "I'm leaving now. I'll meet you for dinner later."
Kakashi nodded.
Although I really want to catch up with Kai, now is not the time.
Stand at the door again and continue to guard.
Kai opened the door and walked into the office, and Minato Namikaze was already waiting to greet him.
"Kai, Land of Fire Capital, I already know what happened there. I did a good job this time."
Kai nodded. "It's a coincidence, we happened to meet him."
"Anyway, thanks to you this time."
Minato Namikaze motioned for him to sit down.
"Otherwise, Asuma, Chiriku, and Lightning Release Four-Man Squad may all be in danger."
"Now Daimyo's attitude towards us Konoha has become more friendly."
Kai didn't dwell too much on this matter.
After he sat down, he calmed down the relaxation on his face and said seriously:
"Master Fourth Hokage, Land of Lightning Who is here this time?"
Minato Namikaze saw the change in his expression, and his expression became serious:
"The team is led by the son of Fourth Raikage, as well as the high-level envoys of Kumogakure. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Kai nodded slowly, his voice low and firm. "There is a problem, and it's not a small one."
Minato Namikaze's eyes tightened, and his expression became serious as well.
"Expand it."
Ten minutes later.
Minato Namikaze's expression turned completely gloomy.
"It's like this... Okay, I understand."
He raised his head and looked at Kai standing in front of him. "Next, you need to worry about it."
Kai nodded. "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on their every move."
Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past ten minutes, Kai did not reveal the true goal of Land of Lightning's trip.
Because there is no basis for this matter.
He can't say "I read the script in my previous life", right?
But he said something else.
Land of Lightning has been active outside these years, and even went to Sunagakure not long ago to abduct Fourth Kazekage Rasa's son.
Just this sentence is enough.
Land of Lightning kidnapped Gaara, then what is their goal when they come to Land of Fire?
Is it his new-born son Menma?
Or Naruto?
As a parent, Minato Namikaze is naturally worried about his children.
With Kai's words, even if he was only 30% alert at first, he is now 120,000% alert.
As for Kai "falsely accusing" Land of Lightning like this, so what?
Anyway, Rasa has determined that Gaara was kidnapped by Land of Lightning.
Kai then told Land of Fire this information, and then several major countries believed that it was Land of Lightning who did it.
Land of Lightning Even if it's not, you have to admit it.
It's just pure frame-up.
Kai has no psychological burden at all.
Besides, Land of Lightning still can't explain it, and no one believes it.
"In that case, I'll leave first." Kai stood up.
"Go ahead and be safe."
Kai nodded, turned and left the office.
outside the door.
Kakashi is still standing guard.
Kai grinned. "How are you doing?"
Kakashi shrugged, his tone still as lazy as ever. "It's okay."
Kai looked him up and down and joked, "By the way... you, Obito and Lin, how are you three doing now?"
Kakashi was stunned for a moment. "What is it like?"
Kai chuckled and lowered his voice, "You are seventeen now, so you don't think about anything happening with Lin?"
Kakashi rolled his eyes.
"Me and Lin? Forget it. Obito and Lin have a good relationship now, so I won't get involved."
"Yo? Are you willing?" Kai deliberately teased him.
Kakashi was silent for a while, and said in a calm but serious tone, "I treat Lin more like a younger sister. That's all."
"You think Lin looks like a younger sister, and whether Lin thinks you look like a brother, it's hard to say."
Kai pouted.
"But Lin and Obito, didn't they succeed either?"
Kakashi hesitated and said:
"That guy is now... thinking about growing Uchiha Clan all day long, and he is a little crazy."
"I can't persuade him. Let Lin stay with him. At least he can take care of him."
"It's you."
He glanced at Kai: "I heard that you caused another commotion at the Daimyo's Palace?"
Kai laughed, "It's just convenient."
Then he thought of something and asked, "By the way, Uchiha Clan disappeared recently, do you know what happened?"
"Not sure."
Kakashi's voice is a little lower.
"But don't worry about this matter. The teacher knows it well."
Kai nodded slightly.
Kakashi Having said that, Uchiha should not have a big problem there.
"Okay. In this case, I don't care."
"But you have to keep your spirits up these days. Land of Lightning's intentions are not pure. It's better to be careful."
"I understand."
After the two briefly exchanged a few words, Kai did not stay any longer.
In a flash, Body Flicker Technique left Hokage Building directly.
He did not reply to Konoha Orphanage.
Instead, go straight in the direction of Hyuga Clan Compound.
