16 Chapter 16: Sarutobi Hiruzen's Astonishment (Edited)

Kakashi's first thought was that someone had entered the village under his disguise and had done something.

This could be a very serious question, but Kakashi didn't panic, because he really was at home all this time, if something serious really happened, he wasn't afraid of the investigation at all.

"At home all the time?"

Hiruzen stopped drinking tea and looked at Kakashi with surprise, it wasn't as if the boy was deliberately pretending to be a fool.

After a moment of consternation, Hiruzen made a certain gesture with his hand, and an Anbu quickly appeared in the office, Hiruzen looked at him and said, "Call the patrol team, let them report last night's situation."

"Yes."

The Anbu instantly disappeared.

A few moments later, several Anbus quickly appeared in the office and started to report.

Kakashi spoke to them from time to time, and after a while it was confirmed that he hadn't left his house last night.

After confirming that the Kirigakure scout was not killed by Kakashi, Hiruzen felt confused as he reflected on the fact that he didn't remember Sakumo having passed on the Kenjutsu of the Hatake clan to anyone else.

"Kakashi, has Sakumo ever taken any disciples to teach him Hatake Kenjutsu?"

"I'm not sure."

Kakashi shook his head.

In the past, Sakumo was the captain of Konoha's Anbu department and the frontline commander in World War II, he usually never communicated with him about such matters.

Kakashi asked puzzled, ".... Lord Hokage, what exactly is going on?"

"..."

Hiruzen pondered for a moment and briefly described what had happened last night.

Hearing Hiruzen's description, Kakashi was first slightly stunned and quickly thought of something, his eyes widened slightly and his mouth opened slightly.

Hiruzen noticed Kakashi's movement and said, "What did you think of?"

"It's not..."

Kakashi hesitated, he had guessed that this was all Yeruashi's doing and hesitated to say it.

Seeing that Kakashi obviously seemed to know something, Hiruzen frowned and said, "Tell me everything in detail, Kakashi."

Thinking that Yeruashi hadn't told him yesterday either, and that maybe he didn't intend for him to help him hide it, Kakashi said, "If so, maybe he knows who did it."

"Who?"

Hiruzen looked at Kakashi seriously.

"...My older brother, Yeruashi."

Kakashi answered quietly, silently thinking in his mind that it was none of his business.

Hearing Kakashi's answer, Hiruzen was stunned for a moment and said with some consternation, "Who did you say?"

"Yeruashi Hatake."

Kakashi whispered his brother's name once more.

Hearing this answer, not only Hiruzen, but also the Anbu captain next to the office, as well as the Anbu who reported the matter, showed a somewhat stunned look.

"Yeruashi?"

Hiruzen looked at Kakashi in dismay and said, "Are you sure? This scout was Kirigakure's elite Chuunin, the battle was over in less than a minute."

Thinking that there was no point in denying it now that he had sold Yeruashi out, Kakashi said, "Although I don't know exactly how, but he could definitely do it, brother was always stronger than me."

Cough!!!

Hiruzen coughed nervously and sat down again.

Kakashi shouldn't lie, in this situation it doesn't make any sense to lie, because he can call Yeruashi and check it out, it's just that Hiruzen needed some time to digest and accept this information.

"Yeruashi... Is stronger than Kakashi?"

This is quite normal for the older brother to be stronger than the younger one, but Kakashi and Yeruashi's situation can't be attributed to normal!

Kakashi is an incredible genius of Konoha, not seen in many years, like the young White Fang of Konoha, Hatake Sakumo!

If these words are true... The eight-year-old Yeruashi, who killed the Kirigakure Chuunin elite in less than a minute, may be even more talented than Kakashi!

Hiruzen took his pipe, took a deep puff and exhaled smoke: "Go and make Yeruashi come to my office!"

One of the Anbu accepted the request and quickly disappeared from the office.

...

Ninja Academy.

Today was the last day before the final test.

Yeruashi's class had gathered on the training field, lined up in several rows, with two students engaged in an intense battle.

Klang! Klang!

Flashs flew with the constant clash of Kunais, accompanied by a sound of clashing metal.

"Aaaahhhh..."

Uchiha Obito shouted furiously and swung the kunai with all his might, forcing his opponent back, followed by throwing the Kunai in his hand, forcing his opponent to take another step back.

He then quickly performed the seals with his hands.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" (Fire Jutsu: Great Fireball)

This time Obito was lucky enough to successfully use his Jutsu, a large fireball shot towards his opponent, terrifying him and leaving him no room to dodge.

Whoosh!

The Master Chuunin, of course, noticed this, and appeared next to the student and quickly performed several seals with his hands.

"Suiton: Suijinheki!" (Water Jutsu: Water Wall)

Whoosh!

The water surged and transformed into a high wall that covered both the teacher and the student, after which the large fireball landed on the water wall, scattering mist in the surroundings and extinguishing Obito's large fireball.

After extinguishing the fireball, the teacher sighed, straightened up and announced, "The winner is Uchiha Obito!"

"Yes!

Obito shouted excitedly.

At last, he wasn't embarrassed this time.

Seeing Rin clapping along with the other students, Obito felt a surge of satisfaction as he returned to the crowd, while raising his chin proudly in Yeruashi's direction.

Yeruashi didn't react to Obito's provocation, instead he stood calmly and continued clapping, his eyes shone with a deep light, it was impossible to understand what he was thinking.

Kurenai had already noticed Yeruashi's strange mood for a long time, when she finished clapping, she asked Yeruashi in a low voice, "Yeruashi, are you in a bad mood?".

"No."

Yeruashi shook his head, "I was just thinking about something..."

Just as Yeruashi looked thoughtfully into the distance, the teacher took the list and read the names of the next pair of students to face each other.

"The next pair is, Hyuga Baki vs Hatake Yeruashi."

Hearing his words, the eyes of the students nearby instantly fell on both Yeruashi and Hyuga Baki.

Hyuga Baki stepped out of the crowd and calmly said, "This grouping is not bad, let me show you the true strength of the famous Hyuga Clan, Yeruashi."

Previously, Baki was a little displeased with Yeruashi, but he did not behave childishly, looking for trouble with him, and now that Yeruashi became his opponent, everything resolved itself.
