Hidden Bonds: Kazuya's Secrets in Konoha

"Don't ask me; I don't know, and he won't tell me."

"And all of this comes from him, while no one can tell whether he will be Uchiha's revenge pawn." Hokage said.

"So it's still unknown whether this Uchiha Kazuya will be a threat to Konoha," Jiraiya stated his opinion.

"Well, even so, judging from the few exchanges I had with him, the possibility of Kazuya posing a threat to Konoha should be very low."

"No desires, just guarding his own territory; if it wasn't because of his rapid growth in strength, I would be completely relieved of him."

Kazuya seems to be such a person in the eyes of Hokage.

"His strength is growing too fast?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"Well, in fact, he only officially appeared in our sight three years ago. Although his strength could be felt to be very strong at that time."

"But this year, his strength seems to have made another breakthrough. Judging from his tone, it seems that he have something hidden," Hokage said with some dignity.

"Really?" Jiraiya squeezed his chin in thought, "The growth in strength is indeed too fast."

"Aren't you afraid that he will rebel after some time? You can't beat him now," Jiraiya joked.

"You kid, don't worry; I trust Kazuya." Hokage said with a chuckle, seeming to miss the days of hanging out with Jiraiya.

"Okay, you are the Hokage."

"But since it is confirmed that Uchiha Kazuya is not a threat to Konoha, I will leave."

Jiraiya turned around and was about to leave after speaking.

"Leave now?" Hokage's lonely tone was full of intentions to stay.

"Well, I've been looking into things about Akatsuki's organization recently, and I already have some clues," Jiraiya said.

"Take care." Seeing that he couldn't keep him, Hokage could only say goodbye.

"Well, take care too; don't wait for me to come back..." Jiraiya left without finishing his sentence.

He was afraid that it would become true if he said it, but what Jiraiya didn't know was that even if he didn't say it, it would be an established fact.

Today, because of Kazuya, I saw Hokage again, but I will never see him again.

The next day, Kazuya was called to Hokage's office by Anbu.

...

The next day, Kazuya was summoned to the Hokage's office by Anbu.

"Kazuya, I heard from Jiraiya that you have a quite good mastery over body flicker." Hokage said with a smile, trying to appear amiable.

"Hmm." Kazuya had already anticipated that Jiraiya would talk to the Hokage.

"Can you tell me how you reach that level?" Hokage continued to ask.

"Self-taught." Kazuya replied.

"..." Hokage hesitated and said, "We're you close with Shisui Uchiha?"

"No." Kazuya was a little surprised by Hokage's guess.

"Hokage, I don't think you need to worry about how I accomplished these feats."

"As long as I don't harm Konoha, you don't have to explore my secrets like this," Kazuya said.

"Hmm~" Hokage contemplated what Kazuya said with a pipe in his mouth.

In fact, what Kazuya said is right; he is a special existence, not exactly a Konoha ninja. Some secrets are understandable, and there is no need to report to Hokage.

If Kazuya is related to Shisui, then when he learns the truth about his death, will he seek revenge on Konoha?

Thinking so, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kazuya who was playing with his hands.

"Alright, since you don't want me to know your secret, then I won't ask. But I hope you will do what you say, and it won't be detrimental to Konoha."

Hokage felt that they should try to trust Kazuya, even though he had many secrets.

"Don't worry about that." Kazuya shook his newly bought broom and smiled, agreeing, "No matter what you say, I'm Konoha's Jōnin."

"You still know that you are a Jōnin of Konoha!" Sarutobi thought to himself.

"Okay, since it's all right, you can leave first." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, a bit disgusted.

"Okay, goodbye, Hokage!" Kazuya said as he threw a shuriken and disappeared on the spot.

"It's really Flying Thunder God, ahem." Hokage said a little lonely, "Fourth Generation, if only you were still here."

(The title between Hokage, I hope everyone will not argue about seniority.)

...

Time flies, and just a few months passed quickly; Sasuke was discharged from the hospital smoothly.

"Sharingan controls the Windmill. Three Great Swords."

In a certain forest, Sasuke is training various ninjutsu.

"Papa papa!" Kazuya applauded, "You have fully mastered this ninjutsu, and your Sharingan adaptation is also very good."

"Hmph!" Sasuke jumped down from the tree and laughed lightly, "This ninjutsu is too simple."

"Tch, you weren't like this before the Sharingan awakened." Kazuya couldn't understand Sasuke's attitude and said, "Okay, let's learn some simple things next."

"Simple things?" Sasuke looked at Kazuya puzzled, as if saying that there is something easy to learn in simple things, why not learn difficult ones.

"Don't underestimate these simple things. These skills are essential for ninjas in combat."

After speaking, Kazuya stepped on the tree step by step to the branch under Sasuke's puzzled gaze and stood upside down.

"How about it, can you?" Kazuya provocatively asked.

"Cut." Sasuke acted disdainfully, as if to say, don't underestimate me. Then he stepped on the tree trunk to go up under Kazuya's eyes watching the show.

But it seems that the trees don't want to see Sasuke very much. No matter how much Sasuke steps, he can't get a foothold on the trunk.
