Chapter 158

Kirigakure.

In one of the rooms of the Mizukage building, Seven Mist Swordsmen were gathered, sitting in different parts of the room, emitting powerful chakra vibrations.

The two members who had previously fallen at the hands of Minato had already been replaced.

The Third Mizukage, currently the ruler of the village, stood at the entrance to the room, staring intently at the Mist Swordsmen.

"So you're sure you can handle Konoha's Yellow Flash?"

"Don't worry, Lord Mizukage."

Suikazan said confidently: "The group tactics training has already been completed. If we encounter Konoha's Yellow Flash again, we might even be able to kill him!"

The third Mizukage nodded, " Great...In this case, you should invade the eastern part of the Land of Fire, but do not take too many people with you, use the tactics of a small strike force."

"No problem."

"Hahahaha, leave it to us!"

The Seven Mist Swordsmen grinned.

After that.

The seven people quickly left the room.

Mizukage was also about to leave, but when he turned around, Shinobi Anbu appeared in the doorway, he dropped to one knee and immediately made a report: "Lord Mizukage! Emergency situation...Konoha's Silver Flash, who had been missing for two years, showed up. He single-handedly invaded Sunagakure and caused massive damage!"

The third Mizukage only narrowed his eyes slightly, without showing any violent reaction, he said calmly: "I get it."

Then he went back to his office.

Shinobi Anbu involuntarily sighed, looking after the departing Mizukage: "This is really our Mizukage! He remains calm and unperturbed, even after receiving such shocking information..."

Phew!

Soon, the Shinobi Anbu also disappeared.

The third Mizukage returned to the study, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip, at this moment, you could see his eyes reflected in the cup of tea.

Unexpectedly, the eyes had a scarlet color and three tomoes!

Sharingan!

"Hmm, did this guy spend two years absorbing the Dragon Vein? In the future...it can really bring problems, but now there is no time to worry about it."

"The Third Mizukage" whispered thoughtfully.

A white figure appeared nearby and addressed him, " Lord Madara, should I follow the Mist Swordsmen?"

"No need."

Uchiha Madara, who controlled the body of the Third Mizukage, shook his head.

About a year ago, the Third Mizukage personally led Kiri's elite squad and invaded the Land of Fire, it was then that Madara managed to take control of it with some means and use it to organize a plan, now everything is almost ready.

...

Konoha.

"Jinchuriki's rampage?"

Hiruzen whispered thoughtfully as he read the report he had just received.

Recently, something happened in Suna and as a result of the investigation, they were able to find out that Suna had suffered some losses. The Intelligence Department conducted an analysis and concluded that this may have been the result of Jinchuriki's rampage.

Suna's Fuinjutsu techniques are really not advanced enough, it's nothing compared to the Eight Trigrams Seal that Konoha inherited from the Uzumaki Clan. From Hiruzen's point of view, there was nothing surprising about Jinchuriki's rampage.

But could not get more specific information.

Working together, the Great Villages erected an information blockade around Konoha. So now it became extremely difficult for them to spy on the enemy, especially on Suna, located in the middle of the desert.

While Hiruzen was thinking about this, Anbu Shinobi appeared in the office and made a report.

"Lord Hokage, the Shinobi Kiri are in motion."

Hiruzen whispered thoughtfully, " Hmm...what they're going to do..."

After thinking for a while, he looked at the Shinobi Anbu and said: "Let Kakashi will lead the team and follow the movement of the Kiri shinobi."

About a year ago, Kakashi was promoted to the rank of Jounin. With good merits and high mission performance, he has become an excellent Shinobi to rely on.

But all this pales in comparison with Erase.

"This guy really was a terrifying genius."

At the thought of Eroiche, in the eyes of Hiruzen flashed with regret.

People are very contradictory and illogical creatures. When Yeruashi was alive, Hiruzen feared that such a powerful, unruly Shinobi would threaten his status and the stability of the village.

And when Yeruashi disappeared for two years, which almost means death, he began to feel regret, because if Yeruashi was still with them, Konoha's power would have increased by another step.

"Forget it."

Hiruzen sighed and shook his head, rejecting the idea of Erase. Perhaps becoming a Silver Flash hero of Konoha posthumously was the best course of action.

...

The outskirts of Konoha.

Cemetery.

Here you can see many tombstones of the deceased Shinobi, and in front of them is a stone monument, which is engraved with a large number of names of Shinobi, all of them are revered as heroes of Konoha.

On this memorial stone, just below the middle, there is a name that is much larger than the others, this name is Hatake Yeruashi.

As a rule, if a shinobi goes missing for more than a year, he is immediately recognized as dead, but the official recognition of Yeruashi as dead was postponed until the last, and only almost two years later, his name was engraved on this memorial stone.

"..."

A girl stood in front of the memorial stone and stared at it speechlessly, it was Nohara Rin.

Next to the name of Eroiche, has a fairly large size, it was a small engraved name is obito Uchiha.

"Rin, you're here again..."

Kakashi's voice came from the side, and he looked at the memorial stone and said: "Come on, Rin. Lord Hokage has given us a mission."

Rin silently placed two bouquets of flowers in front of the memorial stone, wiped the tears running down her cheeks, and turned to Kakashi, " Let's go."

As they were leaving the cemetery, Kakashi turned, glancing at the memorial stone once more, and whispered: "It doesn't make any sense...big brother will definitely come back."

After two years of absence, Kakashi had already stopped expecting his brother to return, but he was still confident that Yeruashi would return.

It just might happen twenty years later

Because earlier, he had already met a person who had traveled twenty years into the past with the help of this Dragon Vein.

"Kakashi..."

Rin looked at Kakashi and bit her lip.

Although outwardly it seems that Kakashi behaves coldly and does not care about anything, but in Rin's opinion, he suffers even more than she does. After all, among the names engraved on the memorial stone were his teammate and older brother.

Rin sighed and he smiled stiffly: "Yes, I believe that Erase not leave this world so easily."

Kakashi glanced at her and continued walking forward.
