15 Chapter 15: Kakashi's Suspicion (Edited)

Obviamente, solo quería entrenar tranquilamente al nivel de un Jounin, pero se vio obligado a matar gente, interrumpiendo su entrenamiento, lo que dejó a Yeruashi sin palabras.

¿Debo destruir el cuerpo?

Debería ser demasiado tarde.

¡Whoosh!

Yeruashi rápidamente agarró sus pertenencias y salió del lugar a toda velocidad, sin siquiera inspeccionar el cadáver del ninja de Kirigakure.

El explorador no podía llevar consigo información secreta ni nada importante en la misión, y los ninjas de Konoha no podían pasar por alto esta batalla, ellos se encargarían de todo lo demás.

Casi inmediatamente después de que Yeruashi desapareciera.

¡Whoosh! ¡Whoosh! ¡Whoosh! ¡Whoosh!

At the site where the battle occurred, several ninja appeared, all dressed in various animal masks, these were members of the Anbu division, who without direct subordinates of the third Hokage.

"There!"

One of the Anbu sensor noticed the body of the Kirigakure ninja, and instead of approaching directly, quickly threw a shuriken in the direction of the body, confirming that his opponent was dead.

Immediately after, two other Anbu approached the body from different directions.

"Dead!"

One of them squatted down, confirmed the other party's death once more, and only then turned the body around, the Anbu's gaze immediately drawn to the forehead protector with the Kirigakure symbol.

Three Anbu looked at each other, surprise shone in their eyes, first it was assumed that a Konoha ninja was attacked and killed on the outskirts of the village, but suddenly it turned out to be a ninja from an enemy village, apparently being a scout, they just didn't know exactly who killed him.

"...This must be the elite Chuunin of Kirigakure."

The Anbu, who had previously crouched down, quickly examined the corpse and raised his head, turning to the other Anbu, "From the time you felt the start of the battle in this direction, it hasn't been more than a minute, has it?

"Well..."

The sensor Anbu frowned and said, "To take care of a Kirigakure scout in such a short time, this must have been done by a Jounin from our village, but I didn't recognize his chakra signature. And he left immediately after killing the scout, it seems he didn't want to meet us."

The Anbu, who was examining the body, nodded his head, but in the next moment, his attention was focused on the wound on the dead ninja's forehead, after a close examination, he muttered in surprise, "This wound..."

"What's wrong?"

His two companions looked at him in confusion.

The Anbu, who was examining the body, was silent for a few seconds, and then hesitantly said, "I've seen this kind of wound before ... Was left by Lord Sakumo's Kenjutsu."

"Impossible!"

"But two years ago, Lord Sakumo..."

The two Anbu standing next to him reacted almost the same way.

The ninja who examined the corpse was also somewhat unable to believe it and carefully confirmed it a few more times before saying, "This wound was definitely left by Lord Sakumo's kenjutsu, but it shouldn't have been Lord Sakumo, otherwise the protector along with the body should have been cut off "

Hearing these words, the two Anbu beside him looked at each other.

Hatake Kenjutsu is transmitted only within the Hatake clan, like the shadow ninjutsu of the Nara Clan, or the spiritual ninjutsu of the Yamanaka Clan, after Sakumo's death, only a handful of people who knew how to use this kenjutsu.

"... Remove the body and report to the Lord Hokage."

"Right."

Having made their decision, the Anbu sealed the body and quickly returned to the village.

At such a busy time, the death of an enemy village scout did not require too much attention, it was not enough to wake the Hokage in the middle of the night, Hiruzen only found out when he arrived at his office in the morning.

"A Kirigakure scout died under Hatake kenjutsu, and the battle lasted no more than a minute?"

Hearing the Anbu report, Hiruzen was surprised for a moment.

A Kirigakure scout who could reach Konoha must be at least an elite Chuunin, and to deal with such an opponent in less than a minute, you must have at least the strength of a Jounin, but the problem is that there are no Jounin in Konoha now who could use Hatake kenjutsu.

"Maybe it's him..."

The figure of Kakashi appeared in Hiruzen's mind.

The Hokage was surprised by this thought.

Killing a Kirigakure scout in less than a minute ... When did Kakashi reach this level? he was now less than eight years old!

Although he was a bit unable to believe it, but after careful consideration, there was no other person in the village who meets the conditions to kill Kirigakure's scout in such a way and with such a technique, which made Hiruzen couldn't help but let out a sigh and said, "Where is Kakashi? Call him here, I need to talk to him"

"Yeah."

The Anbu beside him answered and quickly disappeared.

A few moments later.

Kakashi entered the office and bowed to Hiruzen, "Lord Hokage, were you looking for me?"

Hiruzen stood up and approached Kakashi, looking at him with an admiring smile as he said, "Kakashi, you've grown a lot lately, I never thought you'd be able to master Hatake kenjutsu to this extent at this age."

"?"

Kakashi was stunned.

Hiruzen patted Kakashi gently on the shoulder and said, "Seeing you is like seeing Sakumo in his youth ... Don't you have anything to report to me?"

Kakashi looked at Hiruzen with a puzzled expression, "Lord Hokage, what do you mean?"

Hiruzen was slightly surprised, then smiled.

He hadn't expected the young and impetuous Kakashi to learn how to hide things, it seemed that he had finally matured, maybe it wouldn't be long before Kakashi could actually take on the responsibilities of a Jounin, had he known that, it wouldn't have been necessary for Minato to teach Kakashi.

Hiruzen waved his hand, throwing Kakashi a forehead protector.

Kakashi caught the protector and examined it carefully, there were traces of blood on it and a thin line left by something extremely sharp.

Kakashi was confused, he looked at Hiruzen with a puzzled expression.

Hiruzen took a cup from the table and took a sip of tea.

"You still don't remember?"

Aunque estaba encantado con la actuación de Kakashi, pero con la situación ya conocida, lo que tenía que hacer ahora era informarle a él, al Hokage, para tener una idea clara de la situación exacta.

Al escuchar las palabras del Hokage, la mente de Kakashi se hundió en la reflexión, pero no recordaba nada relacionado con este protector de frente, y después de una larga vacilación, finalmente no pudo evitar decir: "Señor Hokage, este protector de frente es... "

Hiruzen frunció el ceño, no esperaba que Kakashi siguiera ocultándolo, así que dijo con una expresión seria: "Tu batalla de anoche, por favor cuéntame más al respecto..."

"¿Anoche?"

Kakashi se quedó atónito por un momento, luego miró seriamente a Hiruzen y dijo: "Señor Hokage, anoche estuve en casa y no peleé con nadie..."
