Kai did not answer.
He stared at Kakashi for a few seconds, then asked in a deep voice, " Kakashi."
Are you my best friend?
Kakashi's movements stopped abruptly.
He glanced at Kai, then looked at Zhang Yu not far away.
The two of them just hid to the side and talked for a long time.
After returning, Kai suddenly asked this question.
Something doesn't look normal at all.
Kakashi stood up and slowly backed away.
Explain yourself first.
"What exactly did Boss Zhang Yu ask you to do?"
"You just need to answer me!"
Kai stepped forward.
Am I your best friend?
Kakashi took another step back.
"I guess so."
What does "consider" mean?
Kai pressed for an answer, clearly dissatisfied.
"It is or it isn't!"
Kakashi had already retreated several meters away.
"Yes."
Is this alright now?
"Very good!"
Kai grinned and immediately pulled out a gold badge from his pocket.
He held the badge in both hands and handed it directly to Kakashi.
"Since we're best friends..."
"Then you should accept this!"
The gold badge reflected the sunlight.
Kakashi was standing a bit far away and couldn't see the markings on the front of the badge clearly.
He only saw Kai holding a round, golden object in both hands, presenting it to him with a serious expression.
That size.
That color.
It looks exactly like a gold ring.
Kakashi's eyes widened instantly.
He recalled Kai's question from earlier, and his scalp tingled.
"Kai!"
"We're both men!"
Why did you give me a ring?
Kai was taken aback.
"Ring?"
"Let me explain!"
Kakashi didn't give him a chance at all.
His hands quickly Hand Seals.
" Body Flicker Technique!"
Bang!
A cloud of smoke exploded.
Kakashi vanished instantly.
Kai rushed into the smoke with the badge in his hand.
" Kakashi!"
"This is not a ring!"
"This is Brotherhood Badge!"
"Come back!"
The mountain wind dispersed the mist.
Kakashi was no longer seen at the top of the Hokage Rock.
Kai stood there, finally realizing where things had gone wrong.
Kakashi didn't even see what was in his hand clearly.
I was startled by the phrase "best friend" and mistook the badge for a ring.
"This is a huge misunderstanding."
Kai looked down at the gold badge in his hand.
It doesn't look like a ring at all.
Zhang Yu stood by the table and rubbed his forehead.
He had considered that Kakashi might refuse.
But Kakashi misunderstood it like this.
"Never mind."
Zhang Yu packed up the tea set and turned to leave.
Hearing the noise, Kai immediately turned around.
" Boss Zhang Yu!"
Don't worry!
"That was just an accident!"
"I will definitely explain everything to Kakashi!"
"No matter where he goes, I will make sure he accepts this Brotherhood Badge!"
Zhang Yu waved to him.
"Take your time pursuing him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped off the edge of the Hokage Rock.
Kai rushed to the edge, glanced at the scene, and then turned to look in the direction Kakashi had left.
He gripped the badge tightly and leaped down the mountain path.
" Kakashi!"
"Stop right there!"
"This really isn't a ring!"
The shouts quickly faded into the distance.
Zhang Yu let the two of them continue their antics.
Given Kai's personality, once he accepts a mission, he won't give it up easily.
Maybe after a few days of effort, Kakashi will actually accept the badge.
Zhang Yu fell from a height.
The Hokage's office building is located directly below the Hokage Rock.
He adjusted his direction and landed steadily on the rooftop platform of the office building.
Standing here, you can see most of Konoha.
The village gate is visible in the distance.
The nearby streets were full of pedestrians.
In the direction of the Undead Tavern, you can still see many people carrying flowers and colorful lights.
Just as Zhang Yu steadied himself, a shout suddenly came from downstairs to stop him.
Who goes there!
The sound of something cutting through the air followed immediately.
A black Kunai below, heading straight for Zhang Yu's chest.
Zhang Yu stood still without flinching.
The space around the right eye distorted accordingly.
The Kunai struck his body, but no sound of impact was heard.
A sharp Kunai pierced through his chest, as if there were no physical form there at all.
Zhang Yu raised his right hand, his five fingers came together, and he steadily caught the black Kunai that had passed through his body.
The Anbu Ninja behind him stopped at the edge of the rooftop, his hand still gripping the short blade.
He looked at Zhang Yu, then at the Kunai that Zhang Yu was holding, his face full of shock.
That Kunai clearly hit Zhang Yu.
However, it passed right through his body.
What he couldn't understand even more was that after the Kunai passed through, Zhang Yu caught it steadily from behind.
Throughout the entire process, Zhang Yu didn't even move his feet.
Zhang Yu turned around and sized up the other person a few times.
Standard Anbu clothing.
The Konoha Forehead Protector features a "gate" shaped pattern in the center.
Coupled with those lifeless, dull eyes, his identity is obvious.
Yamato.
Or rather, Tenzo, who is still active in the Anbu.
Zhang Yu turned the Kunai around, held the tip of the blade, and handed it over.
" Yamato."
"Isn't it inappropriate to throw Kunai at someone you've just met?"
Yamato did not accept.
His body tensed up even more.
Do you know me?
Members of the Anbu always conceal their identities when carrying out missions.
An ordinary ninja shouldn't even know what he looks like, let alone his name.
But the person in front of him only glanced at him before calling him " Yamato ".
Yamato stared at Zhang Yu.
Who exactly are you?
Why is it on the roof of the Hokage Building?
"And how did you find out who I am?"
He slightly raised the short blade in his hand.
He would immediately take action if Zhang Yu made any unusual movements.
Zhang Yu casually tossed the Kunai aside.
A ding sound.
The Kunai fell to the ground and bounced twice.
Don't be so tense.
"I am Zhang Yu, the owner of the Undead Tavern."
Yamato's gaze remained fixed.
He had certainly heard of that name before.
In Konoha these days, almost everyone knows about the Undead Tavern.
First Hokage Hashirama Senju.
The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
Madara Uchiha.
Many ninjas who had long since died still frequented that tavern.
Information about Zhang Yu was classified as a top-secret information in Konoha.
Yamato had only seen some basic information about Zhang Yu before and had never met him in person.
"You're Boss Zhang Yu?"
"That's right."
Zhang Yu pointed to the Hokage Rock above his head.
I was having tea upstairs just now.
"After finishing the drink, he jumped down."
Yamato looked up.
The Hokage Rock is quite a distance from here.
He jumped directly from the top of the First Hokage's statue to the Hokage Building, with a distance in between.
Even if an ordinary ninja dared to jump, it would be impossible for them to land precisely here.
Not to mention they were completely unharmed.
Yamato looked at Zhang Yu again.
"You jumped straight from Hokage Rock to here?"
"Right."
"No Ninjutsu was used?"
"He just jumped."
Yamato's eye twitched a few times.
This statement is hardly credible.
Zhang Yu just used some kind of Space-Time Ninjutsu to make Kunai through his body.
If you've mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu, why did you still jump off the Hokage Rock?
And who would specifically go to the top of Hokage Rock to drink tea?
