?"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"It's really embarrassing, Teacher Sarutobi."
When Yu received the news and rushed to the scene slowly, Orochimaru's underground research room had been completely buried by Explosive Tag. Third Hokage and several Konoha ninjas stood there in disgrace.
"Smelly boy..."
"You still have the intention to ridicule me here!"
Seeing Yu coming slowly in front of him with a playful and joking look on his face, Third Hokage couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Since returning from the battlefield, Third Hokage has found that Yu has become smaller and smaller, and his words and deeds have become more and more arbitrary. Sometimes, even other Konoha ninjas will not spare him any face.
"Okay, okay..."
"Regarding Orochimaru's defection, I feel sorry for you Teacher Sarutobi."
"But if something like this happens today, don't tell me you didn't expect it."
Looking at the lonely and desolate Third Hokage in front of him, Yu couldn't help but helplessly comfort him.
After all, it was too soft-hearted...
When he saw Third Hokage, he wanted to kill Orochimaru, who abducted Konoha Ninja for human experimentation, but in the end he relented and let his once most beloved disciple go, laying the foundation for another turmoil in Konoha in the future.
Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If one day I was the one who defected, would you be so merciful?
"So... do you need me to catch up and intercept him now?"
After finishing speaking, Yu suddenly changed the subject when he saw the expression on Third Hokage's face changing in front of him.
"No, no need..."
"Jiraiya has set out to pursue Orochimaru."
Hearing Yu's proposal, Third Hokage shook his head. After calming down, his old and cloudy eyes showed sparkle again, "Because of Nine-Tails Incident Fourth Hokage's sacrifice, a meeting will be held next about re-appointing me to the position of Hokage."
"Yu, you will be responsible for escorting me along the way."
"And Kakashi, you bring two Anbu as my guards."
After speaking, Third Hokage's eyes turned to Kakashi who came from the woods nearby.
"Yes! Lord Hokage!"
Just walking out of the woods, Kakashi's mind was still immersed in the battle with Orochimaru. When he saw Yu who was present, his eyes suddenly focused, and then he nodded in agreement.
Will you take up the role of Hokage again?
Hearing Third Hokage's words, Yu nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the reality in front of him had finally followed the original trajectory. After the death of Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Third Hokage, who had already retreated behind the scenes, came back to take charge of Konoha.
Soon, it was afternoon.
Outside the Konoha Ninja village, Yu, Third Hokage, Kakashi, and two other Anbu Ninja guards escorted a group of five people out of the village and set off in the direction of the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire mansion.
Although after Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze died in Nine-Tails Incident, it has been confirmed that the retired Third Hokage will continue to serve as Konoha Hokage's position, but as usual, Third Hokage still needs to attend the meeting in Land of Fire's Daming Mansion.
"You two be careful... protect Lord Hokage."
A group of five people walked slowly on the desolate ancient road of Land of Fire. There seemed to be a faint sound of wind in the jungle covered by trees on both sides.
Kakashi and Yu were walking beside Third Hokage, one on the left and the other on the right. Kakashi spoke in a deep voice to remind the other two Konoha Anbu Ninja guards to be more vigilant.
While talking, Kakashi and Third Hokage looked at each other and nodded quietly, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
These two guys... could it be?
Although the actions of Kakashi and Third Hokage were subtle, they could not escape Yu Observation Haki's perception.
Noticing the silent and subtle exchange between their eyes, Yu suddenly felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
He remembered this special period in the anime, when Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze died and Third Hokage resumed the position of Hokage, and Shimura Danzō used the darkness in Kakashi's heart to slander Third Hokage in order to seize control of the village.
Kakashi was once in trouble, thinking that it was Third Hokage's gentle policy that killed his teachers Minato Namikaze and Obito He Lin. However, Kakashi's subsequent conversation with Third Hokage eliminated the confusion and confusion in his heart.
Shimura Danzō planned to kill Third Hokage on his way to Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's house to accept his appointment, but Kakashi betrayed Danzo on the way, so Third Hokage was spared.
"Whoosh whoosh!!"
Sure enough, just as Yu was deep in thought, a sharp sound broke through the air.
I saw countless shurikens flying out of the woods quickly, attacking Yu and the five of them from all angles.
"Be careful! Protect Lord Hokage!!"
Feeling the sudden attack around him, Kakashi suddenly shouted loudly, and Sharingan under the cat-face mask suddenly opened wide.
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!!"
But before Kakashi could take action, with a soft drink from beside him, he saw a wave-like wall of water suddenly rising from the ground around him. Water Wall surrounded all five of them in a circle, resisting all attacks from around them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Water Release that Yu cast instantly blocked all the incoming shurikens and kunai, and the detonating talisman continued to explode on the Water Wall.
"What a fast operation..."
"And to be able to perform such an advanced Water Release in such a place without water..."
Seeing Yu next to Third Hokage, he instantly released the advanced Water Release Ninjutsu to block all incoming attacks. Kakashi's scarlet left eye under the mask couldn't help but shrink slightly, realizing that with his own Sharingan, he couldn't copy Yu's ninjutsu.
"Simple and neat."
"It seems that except for Kekkei Genkai and Puppet Technique, this kid's ninjutsu training has not fallen behind."
Facing the sudden assassination attacks from all around, Third Hokage stood on the spot without fear, but when he saw Yu next to him performing Water Release Ninjutsu instantly, a trace of appreciation and relief flashed in his eyes.
"Aren't you going to explain what's going on?"
"It seems that you are hiding something from me, Teacher Sarutobi."
He lightly took action to block the sudden assassination attacks around him. Feeling the admiring gazes of Third Hokage and Kakashi beside him, Yu showed a hint of helplessness at the corner of his mouth, but the movements of his hands did not pause at all.
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bite Explosion!!"
Before Kakashi and the others could react, they saw a dozen black-clothed ninjas rushing out of the woods through the water curtain in front of them. A dozen complex handprints had been formed in Yu's hands instantly!
The S-level secret Water Release Ninjutsu suddenly activated. With the water environment created by Water Formation Wall, a water vortex of nearly ten meters appeared under everyone's feet. It continuously sprayed rapid water upwards. In an instant, the rapid water sprayed several black-clothed ninjas who rushed to assassinate Third Hokage into the air.
"This Water Release... is not good!"
A group of black-clothed ninjas who were sprayed into the air desperately resisted the water jets from the ground, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly flashed through their hearts.
