Unaware of what was happening, Kakashi, yawning, was dragged towards the Hokage Building. Shikaku Nara, the mastermind behind it all, had pushed Kakashi into the abyss of overtime work, and Kakashi initially felt guilty about it.
But when she saw Kakashi lounging leisurely in a chair, taking a short nap with even breathing, that feeling of guilt vanished. "You, Kakashi! Kakashi 're also one of Lady Tsunade, and while he's working himself to the bone at the Hokage Building, you're slacking off at work!"
There's no room for negotiation now; Kakashi must be in charge Jonin training Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha!
If Kakashi knew, he would definitely cry foul. There was a reason why he was slacking off at work. In order to preserve and collect Jiraiya's original manuscript of "Icha Icha Paradise " without delaying the release of the latest Icha Icha Paradise, Kakashi stayed up all night to copy the manuscript and, on behalf of Jiraiya was lying immobile in the hospital, handed the manuscript to the 'errand ninja' to send to the publisher.
Isn't it only natural to catch up on sleep during work hours after pulling an all-nighter?
After yawning, Kakashi regained some of his senses and looked at the impatient Shikaku Nara, asking:
" Shikaku, is there something urgent that you're in such a hurry? Has someone from Kumogakure come?"
Shikaku Nara, who wasn't good at slacking off, snorted and said irritably:
"The people from Kumogakure arrived in Konoha yesterday. How come you, the head of the Anbu, didn't know anything about it?"
"Oh, it arrived yesterday? I was probably too busy and forgot..."
Kakashi scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. After Shikaku Nara's reminder, he finally remembered that Anbu Ninja had indeed reported it yesterday. However, extortion... well, receiving envoys from other villages was not within the Anbu's jurisdiction. In addition, he had just received the manuscript of Icha Icha Paradise and was deeply immersed in the beautiful words, so he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Alright, it's not important anyway. The envoy sent by Kumogakure this time completely misjudged the situation, still treating Konoha as if it were during the Third Hokage's time... cough cough. In short, this peace talk will definitely not yield any results. However, we need to hurry up with the interrogation of the Fourth Raikage. If we can't get anything out of him, we should deal with him as soon as possible. Detaining a village's Kage is a troublesome matter."
Realizing he might tarnish the already dwindling reputation of the Third Hokage, Shikaku Nara interrupted with a cough, awkwardly changing the subject, but Kakashi pretended not to hear.
However, the Third Hokage's reign was indeed the most frustrating period for Konoha. Hiruzen Sarutobi White Fang of Konoha, who had just become Hokage, still had the potential to become Shinobi Hero. During the Second Shinobi World War, thanks to the outstanding performances of Konoha's White Fang and the Konoha Sannin, Konoha Ninja Village benefited greatly from the war.
However, during the Third Shinobi World War, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Tsunade suffered from hemophobia and could only stay in the rear medical corps. White Fang of Konoha committed suicide. Facing the overwhelming forces of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, they could only rely on Jiraiya and Orochimaru to barely hold on.
The battle situation was once unfavorable for Konoha, but fortunately, Jiraiya's disciple, the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, emerged out of nowhere.
In the battle on the Iwagakure battlefield, Jonin more than 40 Iwagakure and routed the Iwagakure forces. On the Kumogakure battlefield, they forced back the A B Combo of the support forces. The Kumogakure forces, suffering setbacks on the main battlefield, could not receive reinforcements and had no choice but to retreat.
After the war, the Konoha Sannin left for various reasons. Not long after Minato Namikaze took over as Hokage, the Nine-Tails' Attack broke out, the Fourth Hokage died in battle, Hiruzen Sarutobi resumed his rule.
From this time onward, Konoha entered its darkest period...
The Kumogakure repeatedly provoked Konoha, kidnapping Hyuga Main Family the Hinata Hyuga family. After Hinata's attempt failed, the Hidden Cloud Village shamelessly demanded compensation from Konoha. Hizashi Hyuga of the Hyuga Branch Family was sacrificed to maintain a negligible peace between Konoha and the Kumogakure...
Prior to this, Kumogakure kidnapped the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki, the Third Hokage's response was also inaction.
The Konoha, established by the First Hokage and Second Hokage, was almost completely squandered during the reign of the Third Hokage!
Now that it's the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade's reign, Kumogakure still dares to treat Konoha with the same attitude as before. They not only want to save the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, but they also want to demand compensation!
Shikaku Nara stormed off, and the arrogant Kumogakure envoys were placed under house arrest. Depending on the Kumogakure's subsequent attitude, they would face two possible fates.
1: Die!
Second: To be interrogated and tortured before dying!
The current Konoha is no longer the Konoha of the past. The threat of war from Kumogakure will have no effect; it will only become the fuse for destruction.
Kakashi wasn't exactly a complete hawk, but he couldn't stand Konoha's past weakness and vulnerability, a point that was clearly demonstrated when he interrogated the Fourth Raikage.
Among the Kage of each village, some died in battle, some were assassinated, but none were ever captured. The Fourth Raikage can be considered to have set a precedent.
Therefore, after capturing the Fourth Raikage, what to do with him became a problem. Those with a modicum of common sense suggested detaining him as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Kumogakure. However, influenced by the Third Hokage's cowardly policy, some even advocated releasing the Fourth Raikage to prevent Kumogakure from going to war with Konoha again.
Kakashi had zero tolerance for such remarks and sent them directly to keep the Fourth Raikage company. The plan to interrogate the Fourth Raikage was also initiated by Kakashi. As the A Yotsuki Raikage, Kakashi could not even imagine how many secrets related to Kumogakure were hidden in A's head.
Putting everything else aside, the few Lightning Release Ninjutsu secretly passed down in Kumogakure alone are enough to elevate Konoha's strength to a new level.
Lightning Release Armor, Hell Stab Hand, and more advanced cell activation technology...
Each of these issues is enough to cause the Kumogakure immense pain, the kind that makes it hard to breathe. However, the Sealing Jutsu in the Raikage's mind is also a problem. The Anbu can only break through the seal little by little to avoid losing important Ninjutsu and intelligence.
But even with a thousand difficulties, Kakashi would not listen to Shikaku Nara's words and secretly dispose of the Fourth Raikage, so Kakashi replied very perfunctorily:
"Yes, yes, yes, the Anbu will definitely speed up the work and won't cause any trouble for Advisor Shikaku."
Kakashi's lazy tone, coupled with his perfunctory answer, was almost unbearable for Shikaku Nara. However, thinking about the mission Kakashi had to accept, Shikaku Nara's mood improved considerably.
"I hope you'll still be this relaxed later..." Shikaku Nara watched Kakashi's languid back as he walked into the Hokage's office, a cold smile typical of a villain appearing on his face.
Sure enough, Kakashi had barely entered his office when a loud sound echoed throughout the Hokage Building.
"What! You want me to be Jonin those brats? Absolutely not, absolutely not!"
