The unanimous roar startled everyone present, including Sasori and Kakashi, the two involved parties.
" Sunagakure? What are they doing here?"
White hair? White Fang Short Sword? Who is Hatake Sakumo to you?
The two, locked in a fierce confrontation, simultaneously posed questions to each other.
Inside Ichiraku Ramen Shop, sparks seemed to be flying between the two men facing off.
The Konoha Ninja who had been discussing Hatake Sakumo then saw one of the two who stood up.
One of them was Kakashi Hatake, and he immediately panicked:
"I'm... I'm sorry, Kakashi, we have great respect for Lord Sakumo."
I didn't mean to talk about this behind people's backs.
Please accept my condolences.
Kakashi's eyes, filled with murderous intent, glanced at the other person and said coldly:
That coward doesn't represent me, and you don't need to apologize to me.
As for you, a Sand Village ninja who speaks so rudely,
Since you're here to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams,
I can let bygones be bygones for your rudeness this time.
Kakashi stared at Sasori with icy eyes:
"However, you'd better be careful; that coward is not someone you can criticize."
Sasori tossed his red hair, completely ignoring Kakashi's threat:
"That coward Hatake Sakumo, all my painstaking efforts to avenge him have been in vain!"
He chose to end his own life, so why can't I criticize him?
He's a coward! A coward!
Scorpion was quite agitated; even his hands were trembling.
Ever since learning the truth about his parents' murder, Scorpion's motivation for honing his Puppet Technique has been to one day avenge them.
Before he came to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams, he was torn about whether he should fight to the death if he met Hatake Sakumo, the mortal enemy who killed his parents.
Now that you've just arrived in Konoha, what did you hear?
His target of revenge, whom he had been longing for day and night, had actually committed suicide?
Even with Mukai's encouragement, he no longer focuses solely on revenge.
His first reaction upon hearing the news was one of extreme anger.
hiss
With a swirl of the blade against the scabbard, Kakashi slowly drew his short sword:
"Sunagakure ninja, you're courting death."
Don't think that just because you're here for the Chunin Ninja Exams, I won't lay a hand on you!
Apologize to me, or you won't leave here alive!
"I think Hatake Sakumo's son is named Kakashi Hatake, right?"
My name is Scorpion, and my target for revenge is that coward who committed suicide.
I disdain seeking revenge against the son of my enemy!
Watch your mouth!
Scorpion flicked his right hand, and the modified Crow, its joints twitching and its head bobbing, hovered in front of him.
Six puppet limbs extended sharp blades, all aimed at the ready-to-fight Kakashi Hatake.
Mukai sighed, silently stood up, holding a brand-new supercapacitor, and stood behind Scorpion.
Shisō also stood up and stood beside Xie, activating the First Activation of the Seven Heavens Breathing Method.
With long, drawn-out breaths, his eyes began to turn somewhat gray.
Scorpion felt a warmth in his heart, deeply grateful for the silent support from Mukai and Shisō.
But he also knew that this was Konoha, and if they made a move, the three of them wouldn't be able to fight against the entire Konoha.
Seeing Mukai stand up, Pakura knew that things were unlikely to get out of control.
Mukai may seem reckless, but he's actually quite reliable.
She placed a fish roll on Kari's plate, who seemed a little worried, and comforted her:
"Don't worry, it's just kids arguing, they won't really fight."
The scorpion, controlling the Crow, tilted its head slightly:
" Mukai, Shisō, this is my own business, don't interfere!"
Let me teach this arrogant white-haired guy a lesson!
Mukai reached out and placed his hand on Scorpion's shoulder, and said:
"Scorpion, I won't let you go on this adventure alone."
We are comrades, how could we back down at a time like this?
Moreover, you're absolutely right. Hatake Sakumo clearly knew he was being framed and slandered by a mastermind using rumors.
Instead of defending themselves or resisting, they could only resort to suicide to demonstrate their resolve.
When has a mission ever been more important than one's fellow ninja comrades in the village?
Even if the mission fails, shouldn't the higher-ups bear the responsibility?
Why criticize heroes who have made great contributions?
He's not only a coward, but also a complete fool!
When Kakashi saw Sasori's companion get up, he initially thought they had come to break up the fight.
I never expected Mukai's words to be so venomous.
His opinion of his own father was even worse than that of this red-haired boy!
Kakashi lowered his body, gathered his strength, and prepared to kill these two despicable Sand Ninja brats with a single strike!
Just then, with a loud bang, two puffs of white smoke erupted between the two.
A figure with blond hair and a person with a black turtleneck and a spiky hairstyle appeared in the ramen shop.
Minato Namikaze!
Could that high-necked, spiky hairstyle be the Body Flicker Shisui )?
Minato Namikaze reached out and grasped Kakashi's hand, saying in a gentle voice:
" Kakashi, the other party is a guest who came to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams, and now Sunagakure is also our ally."
Calm down, I'll handle any conflicts!
The ninja with the high collar and spiky hair reached out and stopped Mukai them.
"Guests from Sunagakure, please be mindful of your words and actions."
In Konoha, no one can act arbitrarily.
Please don't put me in a difficult position.
Mukai saw the Gunbai pattern on the back of the spiky-haired man and basically confirmed the identity of the Uchiha boy in front of him.
The future Body Flicker Shisui!
With Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha, it seems this duel won't be happening.
Pakura sighed, stood up, and was about to say some polite words,
The curtain of Ichiraku Ramen Shop was suddenly ripped open:
" Kakashi! We're here to help you!"
Even if you're a jerk, Obito won't let you get bullied by the Sand Ninja!
Before he arrived, his voice preceded him; a guy wearing a sports jacket and goggles on his head burst in with a childish voice.
Following him in was a girl with short brown hair and two purple markings on her face.
Who Uchiha Sasuke could this person be besides Mukai and Obito Rin Nohara?
Wait, is Ichiraku's surname really Ōtsutsuki?
I just wanted to eat ramen and I saw so many celebrities?
Obito, who had rushed over with Rin Nohara to help Kakashi, saw Minato Namikaze and the others as soon as he entered the room.
"Ah, Minato-sensei, I heard Kakashi was being bullied by Sand Ninja here, so I wanted to come and help."
Minato Namikaze sighed helplessly:
"Alright, I'm very pleased with the bond between you teammates."
However, as a ninja, you can't be too reckless. Go back and practice hard, and prepare for the Chunin Ninja Exams!
Let's go to my house for dinner tonight!
This was just a minor argument, it's already resolved, Obito, so please don't make things worse.
Jonin Pakura, these are all my disciples. I apologize for the embarrassing situation.
Guests of Sunagakure, please refrain from causing trouble in the village.
The Chunin Ninja Exams are about to begin, so please do your best in the competition!
We're leaving.
Shisui Uchiha received the news nearby and came to maintain order.
As he was leaving, he glanced at the unassuming Mukai with great interest.
He instinctively felt that this guy with an unusually low Chakra level was the backbone of the team.
With so little Chakra, what kind of ability could it be?
He was very curious.
The conflict was stopped, Ichiraku Ramen Shop finally returned to peace.
Scorpion put away the Crow puppet, and Mukai took Scorpion's wallet, paid for the ramen, and then left the ramen shop.
Seeing the villagers pointing and whispering about them from afar, Scorpion said somewhat embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, Mukai, I acted impulsively just now."
"What does this matter? We are all living, breathing human beings, not cold, lifeless machines."
As we said before, don't forget hatred, but don't be bound by it either.
Hatake Sakumo, a top-tier fighter, was actually manipulated by the corrupt village leadership and slandered to the point of committing suicide to prove his innocence.
With such a corrupt leadership controlling the village, Konoha is no different from any other village ruled by nobles.
Doesn't this Shinobi World seem absurd?
Does your previous belief in Konoha's strength seem shattered now?
This is their true nature.
Let's focus on doing what's in front of us first, and one day we'll have enough strength.
Clean up all this rubbish!
