The Same White Hair

The visitor was a mysterious masked youth. His silvery-white hair protruded from above the mask, making him look both mysterious and unique.

This was Hatake Kakashi, the only ninja in Konoha who bore the Hatake clan name instead of Uchiha, yet possessed the Sharingan.

Satoru quickly recalled the information given to him by Yahiko and immediately matched the boy in front of him with the description in the information.

"Wait a moment, everyone." Kakashi walked towards Satoru and Hanzo.

Although there was no expression on his face, there was a slight tone of apology in his voice.

He then turned to the two ninja at the door and said, "These are messengers from Amegakure. They have come to discuss cooperation with Konoha. This is an ultimatum from the Hokage-sama."

As he said this, Kakashi handed a scroll to the two ninja guarding the door.

One of the ninja took the scroll and opened it carefully, making sure that it was indeed a letter written by the Hokage.

They looked at each other, a hint of recognition appearing in their eyes, then nodded to each other.

"Sorry for the trouble." Kakashi apologized again, "I was delayed for a while on the way here. I truly apologize."

Satoru and Hanzo exchanged glances, then followed Kakashi in silence.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Hanzo's voice: "I thought Konoha wouldn't let us in."

He said mockingly, "Are you afraid I'll come in and kill some Konoha ninjas?"

Hearing this, Kakashi only responded calmly, "You won't have the chance."

Although his tone was calm, it was full of confidence.

This sentence told Hanzo that Konoha's strength could not be underestimated, and any provocation would be responded to firmly.

"As expected of Konoha." Hanzo's voice contained some emotions that were difficult to understand, making it hard to tell whether it was praise or sarcasm.

Kakashi just smiled lightly and didn't say much.

"It's late, I'll escort you to your residence first." He suggested this time.

"Sure." Satoru nodded in agreement.

Kakashi's eyes now turned to him.

The same white hair, the same clothes covering the eyes.

Kakashi looked at him and couldn't help but doubt in his heart: "Is this person mimicking me?"

There was a strange expression on his face. Satoru noticed Kakashi's strange gaze and couldn't help but refrain from touching his face and asking hesitantly, "Is, is there something on my face?"

Kakashi realized, shook his head, and answered briefly, "No."

Immediately after that, he led them to a beautiful house.

He pointed to the house and said, "This is a specially designed place to receive guests. You can stay here."

Then, he added, "As for the specific negotiation matters, we plan to make arrangements after the Fourth Hokage takes office. The inauguration ceremony of the Fourth Hokage will be held in three days. In the meantime, please stay in Konoha temporarily."

"For the next few days, I will stay in this house with you. If you have any needs or questions, you can contact me anytime." Kakashi's words revealed a sense of responsibility.

However, Hanzo sneered and said cynically, "Why, did the Third Hokage ask you to watch over us?"

Seeing this, Satoru waved his hand to stop him, smiled, and said, "Don't say that, we are all guests and should respect each other. Actually, I'm a little hungry and want to go out and see what's good, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Kakashi looked at him again this time, he was slightly surprised that this unknown man could speak to Hanzo in such a calm tone.

This made him not underestimate him too much.

"If it's food, I've already prepared a luxurious dinner for you." He replied calmly.

But Satoru shook his head and said with a smile, "Oh, it's hard to come to Konoha. Of course, I have to experience the customs here. Although the formally arranged food is luxurious, there's always a little something missing."

He paused for a moment, then suggested, "Alright, I'll go out and stroll around alone and look for some special snacks. I won't bother you."

Satoru's words sounded like a young man full of curiosity and hope for Konoha.

Kakashi frowned slightly.

Why was this white-haired man so relaxed?

However, he then thought that his mission was only to watch over Hanzo, and the others were probably just minor characters in Amegakure and not worthy of too much attention.

If Satoru was just hanging out alone, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Kakashi took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. He knew that besides himself, there were many ANBU personnel silently watching over the grounds to ensure everything was safe.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally nodded and said deeply, "Alright, since you insist so much, go ahead. But please remember to come back early."

When Satoru heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he seemed satisfied with his approval. He nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it."

After that, he turned around and walked out, his figure slowly disappearing into the night.

Besides, he couldn't make much of a splash.

Kakashi watched him leave, but he wasn't completely at ease.

Although he was sure the other party couldn't cause too much trouble, he would still be cautious and vigilant to ensure Konoha's safety.

As Kakashi was deep in thought, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

It was telepathy that could only be used by certain ninjas.

He immediately recognized it as the voice of an ANBU member from the Yamanaka family.

"Captain Kakashi, the white-haired man is missing!" The ANBU ninja's voice sounded urgent.

"Missing?" Kakashi frowned slightly, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. "If he's missing, go after him!"

He ordered with a deep voice.

But the ANBU's response made his heart sink.

"Our comrade is lost..."

Kakashi had just said that this person was not a threat to Konoha, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"It's time for us to eat, right?" Hanzo reminded at this moment.

"Are these little bastards trying to follow me?"

On the other side, Satoru's figure walked through the bustling streets.

"Let's go and see first. Is there anything to eat?"

"What should we eat huh?"

"Sushi?"

"BBQ?"

Thinking about this, Satoru suddenly became interested in one of the shop signs.

"Ichiraku Ramen?"
