While the three of them were talking, Kakashi and Yamato came out of the Anbu headquarters, carrying a very large scroll.
"All right, enough talking. Captain Kakashi and Yamato are back!" Uzuki Yugao turned to Ruri and Uchiha Itachi as she saw Kakashi and Yamato walking toward them.
Hearing Uzuki Yugao's words, Ruri and Uchiha Itachi also turned to look at Kakashi and Yamato.
"The two of them are finally back!" Ruri said with a smile.
Kakashi and Yamato had been gone for quite some time, leaving Ruri and Uchiha Itachi feeling rather helpless as they waited.
"You're all here. Lord Third Hokage had quite a lot to tell us just now, so we were held up for a while!" Kakashi said as he walked over to the three of them.
"Yes! We've been waiting here for you for ages. Why were you gone so long? Did Lord Third Hokage really have that much to tell you?" Ruri walked over to Kakashi and asked.
Yamato nodded beside him, then said to Ruri, "Yes, Lord Third Hokage really did have a lot to tell us! But I'll let Captain Kakashi explain the most important part!"
Kakashi nodded, then said to the three of them, "We just went to the Third Hokage's office, and Lord Third Hokage told us a great many things. Most importantly, there's been a change to our mission!"
"A change to the mission?" Uzuki Yugao asked with a frown after hearing Kakashi's words.
Kakashi looked at Uzuki Yugao, nodded, and continued, "Yes. Our original mission was to go to the border and eliminate a few enemies, but based on the situation briefing, Lord Third Hokage changed our mission at short notice!"
"Our mission this time is to escort this large scroll to our comrades on the front lines.
