"Okay, please."
Kakashi, who had already become famous in Shinobi World, was as obedient as a boy who had just graduated in front of Jiraiya. He took off his Konoha Forehead Protector and stood up straight.
"Counter-Seal Technique, solution!"
Jiraiya gathered Chakra's fingers together and poked Kakashi's brow.
"Ugh!"
Kakashi only felt that his head was swollen, and then he felt dizzy, but he could indeed feel that something was gradually being dispersed from his body.
"Okay."
"I already know the information you conveyed. Let's do this next. Don't look for Tsunade. I'll go find her and ask her if she wants to come back... Tsk, don't hold out too much hope."
Jiraiya clapped his hands and stood up. Seeing that everything was fine, Kakashi waved his hands:
"Then I will go back to Konoha to see Naruto."
"I'll send you here, see you soon!"
At the boundary line between Land of Wind and Land of Fire, Juan enthusiastically waved goodbye to Naruto and the others.
"Nice to meet you, Juan Older Sister! You can come see us next time you come to Konoha!"
Naruto also responded enthusiastically, then looked in the direction of Konoha and sighed, "In the end, Kakashi-sensei didn't have time to come over."
"That's quite a pity. Land of Wind's customs and customs are rare to see."
Mei Terumi smiled.
"Maybe the task is urgent. After all, Kakashi-sensei has always been very busy."
Hinata is still so considerate.
Sasuke didn't say anything, but glanced at Naruto occasionally, looking worried.
"Forget it, let's go back to Konoha first."
After being slightly away from the border, Naruto put his hand on Hinata and then disappeared.
"Sasuke brother, do you still need me to help you study the previous technique?"
"No, I already have an idea. I can complete it in three months at most."
"Really? That's really amazing."
Mei Terumi was a little surprised. Land of Wind She did teach Sasuke a lot of knowledge and application of Ninjutsu along the way, but the Ninjutsu that Sasuke developed by himself was very difficult to implement...
At least she originally thought that even a genius like Sasuke wouldn't be able to complete it within half a year.
Then the figure of Naruto came to Sasuke again, and took away Mei Terumi and Sasuke with a smile on his face.
Flying Thunder God Technique, the best choice for returning home, is still so convenient and effective.
Konoha.
"Returning to the village after a long absence, Ichiraku Ramen let's go!"
Naruto came out of his home and shouted loudly, but his excitement was quickly stopped by Mei Terumi.
"Brother Naruto, don't forget that you are leading the team Ninja this time. The first thing you do when you return to the village is to hand over the mission!"
As experienced Ninja, Mei Terumi quickly called out to Naruto who almost ran away without a trace.
Naruto stopped, a little embarrassed.
"I almost forgot about this. Kakashi-sensei was the one who went there before."
"After all, you are already Chunin, you have to get used to it in the future!"
Mei Terumi said with a smile, looking at Naruto's honest smile, he thought to himself.
[And judging from your performance, it won't be long before you become Jonin.]
"Yeah, I know, Older Sister."
Naruto nodded. Although he is usually careless, he is very active and serious in dealing with tasks.
After all, Kakashi-sensei has told him more than once that if he wants to target Hokage, these are the only paths he must take.
After a while, he brought Sasuke and Hinata to the door of the Hokage office building.
Although Mei Terumi is Konoha Advisor, she still took the initiative to avoid suspicion and did not participate in their mission report.
"Eh, Kakashi-sensei?"
But it was a coincidence that when they arrived at the door, they met Kakashi waiting here.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
"What a coincidence..."
Naruto was speechless. "Teacher, you are in the village, so you don't even come to join us. Isn't it too lazy?"
"Well, I have been exhausted these past few days. I only arrived in the village last night. I wanted to go find you."
"But counting the time, I guess you will be back soon. If I miss it and it will be more troublesome, I might as well just wait here."
Kakashi had a panoramic view of the expressions of the three people, with a kind smile on his face that no one could see, and asked Hinata;
"Hinata, do you think I am lazy?"
"...Naruto-kun, what the teacher said makes sense..."
"Hinata, don't be so easy to talk to, he's just bullying you into being soft-hearted! You can't fall for his trick and say nice things to him!"
"Yes, is that so?"
"Yes, people who take advantage of others' soft hearts are the worst!"
"Hmph, then the written report that you, the captain, are going to write, wasn't it also written for you by Hinata with a soft heart?"
"When did you know this?"
"Do you think I would believe you could write it?"
Team 7 reunited, even in front of Hokage Building they were talking and laughing... and fighting and making trouble.
The other guards also turned a blind eye.
After all, the fact that Kakashi Hatake is currently Third Hokage's confidant is already a consensus in the hearts of most Konoha Ninjas. There is no need to get into trouble when others are happy.
And...
Konoha also has no rules that say you cannot chat in front of Hokage Building.
"Intelligence and prisoners about Akatsuki..."
"And the target person found..."
Due to the confidentiality involved, this mission of Team Kakashi only connected one person, Third Hokage.
"...Team 7 completed the one-year investigation task, comprehensive evaluation, task grade A, excellent completion!"
In the mission hall, Third Hokage looked at the report in his hand with a look of relief:
"Thank you for your hard work. The rewards will be distributed to you after the statistics. You can have a good rest before the next mission..."
However, before Third could finish speaking, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the door.
"Lord Hokage, there is an emergency!"
Hearing that it was an emergency, everyone's expressions changed. Third said directly in a deep voice:
"Come in."
Naruto and others also turned to look, and saw that after the door opened, Konoha Izumo Kamizuki, who had been guarding the door all year round, supported a pink-haired girl and ran in anxiously.
She was hurt so badly!
Everyone immediately noticed the many wounds on the pink-haired girl, which were cut by Shuriken and other sharp weapons!
Hinata even recognized the other party.
[She is Sakura Haruno, who is one year younger than us?]
Naruto and the others suddenly realized that in the nearly one year since they were away, new students Ninja had already graduated from the Ninja Academy.
"Lord Hokage! Quick, quick, go save people!"
However, Sakura Haruno completely ignored his injuries. The moment he saw Third, he shouted anxiously, "They... they..."
"Calm down and tell me slowly if anything happens."
Hinata had already taken out the medical bandage she always kept in her pocket, came to Sakura to help bandage her wound, and said softly.
Third frowned. "Didn't your class Kurenai Yuhi go to Land of Waves to perform an escort mission? Did something happen to you?"
"No, not an escort..."
Sakura seemed to have recalled something, with a look of fear on his face. "Land of Waves There are many Ninja, this is not C-Rank Mission at all! There is also a teacher Hong who said it is very dangerous A very dangerous person, his name is Demon Zabuza... She was alone and asked us to come out to ask for help. Shino is helping Teacher Hong, and Ya wants to distract me from the pursuit... Hurry, go rescue them!"
