Chiba Grand Hotel, a white-haired Ninja stood at the door of the hotel, just like the hotel doorman.
But this is no ordinary guard. This one has made great achievements in Second Shinobi World War. He went deep into the rear direction of Sunagakure alone and made great achievements in White Fang of the Leaf and Hatake Sakumo.
However, Hatake Sakumo is a little depressed now.
Two months ago, just after I completed my mission and returned to Konoha, their Lord Hokage found him personally.
He told him that Chiba Tetsuya who came out of the village had contributed a lot of money to the development of the village, and in exchange, he hoped that he could protect Chiba Tetsuya for a period of time.
Then the Chiba Grand Hotel sent to him was Capital City of the Land of Fire.
But the result is that he has lived in Chiba Grand Hotel for more than a month and has never seen Chiba Tetsuya.
"When will this day end?"
Hatake Sakumo sighed helplessly. For more than a month, he stayed in a hotel near Chiba Grand Hotel. Interestingly, this hotel was also owned by the Chiba Commerce Association.
Why don't you live in Chiba Grand Hotel?
A guy who was scheming about this and that all day long was busy running around Shinobi World, forgetting about Hatake Sakumo and not saying hello to Chiba Grand Hotel people.
And for the price of Chiba Grand Hotel, Hatake Sakumo really can't be stayed for a few days.
Although he is quite wealthy, Chiba Grand Hotel's accommodation conditions are according to those Nobility standards, so his consumption is naturally a bit exaggerated.
"Otherwise, I'd better go back to Konoha."
After staying here for more than a month without doing anything, Sakumo felt like he had been tricked and stood here as a hotel doorman for more than a month.
This was not the first time that he had thought of quitting, but he quickly gave up the idea.
"No, the task given to me by the village is to protect Chiba Tetsuya. If I fail to complete the task, it will have a bad impact on the village."
After strengthening his heart, Hatake Sakumo finally chose to continue to stand guard for Chiba Grand Hotel. Since he can't find you Chiba Tetsuya himself, then just sit back and wait.
A Carriage drove slowly from the front. Sakumo looked at the Carriage in front of him with curiosity and thought to himself.
"Which Nobility is this coming here to eat? The six-horse-drawn Carriage is such a grand spectacle."
Just as he was thinking, a somewhat familiar young man came down from Carriage.
The figure of the person in front of me instantly overlapped with the person who sold Ramen at Konoha.
"Are you, Boss Chiba?!"
Tetsuya, who had just finished business with Sunagakure and was rushing back to Capital City by Carriage, saw Hatake Sakumo standing at the door as a security guard.
White hair, green vest, wearing Konoha Forehead Protector, and carrying a knife on his back.
"You are? Hatake Sakumo!"
Tetsuya recognized the person who was working as a security guard here, and immediately slapped his head, thinking secretly, how could he forget about him.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so busy with business that I forgot about you. Come on, stop standing outside the door and come in to talk to me."
Seeing that Hatake Sakumo wanted to say something, Tetsuya quickly opened his mouth and invited him in to talk.
"Okay."
Sakumo didn't hesitate. After all, the hotel entrance is not a very easy place to talk.
He led Hatake Sakumo to sit down at Tea House, and Tetsuya poured a cup of hot tea for Sakumo.
"It's really been a long time, Sakumo. I still remember the last time we met, you were still with Sakuya. At that time, your face was indifferent, as if nothing in the world could attract your attention. It was completely different from what you are now.
You look more and more like your brother now."
Looking at Sakumo in front of them, Tetsuya couldn't help but laugh. He was indeed 70% similar to Sakuya. They were worthy of being brothers.
Hatake Sakumo, who took the hot tea, was stunned. He couldn't help but look up and down at Chiba Tetsuya in front of him.
How is it possible, how can someone's appearance not change at all even after decades have passed?
"You are Boss Chiba, the Boss Chiba who opened Ramen Shop at Konoha! You are not Chiba Ryo! How is this possible? How can someone not grow old!"
"Nothing is impossible. Shinobi World has many secrets. Although you are White Fang of the Leaf and can go deep into the rear of Sunagakure alone and come back alive, you can't know everything, right?"
"You are right, Shinobi World does have many secrets, and not everything is something I can see through."
Although he is still curious about how Tetsuya does it, as a Ninja, when dealing with his employer, he should not ask about things that the employer does not want to say unless it is related to his task.
"When we were at Konoha, my relationship with your brother was pretty good. It's a pity that he left so unexpectedly."
In person, Tetsuya had thought about asking Sakuya to leave Konoha and follow him, but unfortunately, Sakuya is also a relatively arrogant person. He always thinks that he is a member of Konoha.
At that time, the war had reached the brink of breaking out. Even if I issued a mission and assigned him to protect me, it would be too late.
Not to mention, when Sakuya died, the war had not officially broken out, and he died in a border conflict.
This is really unexpected, who could have imagined it.
If he was still alive when the war broke out, Tetsuya had plenty of ways to save him.
When Hatake Sakuya was mentioned, Sakumo's eyes dimmed a bit, and he waited for a while before saying a word.
"My brother died for Konoha. He is a hero."
"Yes, your brother Konoha is a hero, and so are you."
After sighing with emotion, Tetsuya laughed.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You were sent by Lord Hokage to protect me. Do you know my basic information?"
"Before I met you, I thought I knew something about you, but now..."
Sakumo stopped talking in the middle of what he said. The meaning was obvious.
In the original information, Chiba Tetsuya was a middle-aged man with a big belly, but now Tetsuya looks like a young man.
If even the appearance of the target person in the information is wrong, then other information may need to be verified.
"Okay, let me briefly tell you about my situation. I am currently busy with the new Trade Route. The Trade Route over at Land of Rivers has just finished running. I will go to Land of Grass in the next period of time. I may also discuss some other business by then, so I will be very busy, and I will be away from Land of Fire for a long time."
As he spoke, he asked.
"By the way, is there anyone else at home? Do you need to tell them?"
Sakumo shook his head.
"No, there is only one son Kakashi left in my family. He has graduated from the Ninja Academy this year and has a very reliable teacher.
Also as a Ninja, Kakashi will understand me."
"Oh~! Kakashi, I have graduated from the Ninja Academy."
Seeing Tetsuya's surprised expression, Hatake Sakumo was a little proud.
"Yes, my son is very good."
And Tetsuya is thinking about another question, that is, Kakashi has graduated from the Ninja Academy ahead of schedule, so how did he, Obito and Lin get assigned to Team Minato?
