Chapter 556 Going Alone

"Isn't that Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto said as he pointed towards the figure at the Konoha Gate.

Everyone looked at it after hearing Naruto's words, and they saw the very eye-catching silver-white hair under the moonlight.

"Hey, it's really Kakashi-sensei, what is he going to do so late? Going towards that direction, is he going to leave the village?" Sakura wondered.

"No, there is something wrong with Kakashi-sensei." Sasuke said.

At this time, Izumo and Kotetsu, who were guarding the Konoha Gate, walked over.

"Kakashi-sama, it's confinement time now. Even if it's you, you can't leave the village." Izumo said.

Kakashi ignored Izumo and continued to walk towards the outside of the village.

Seeing this, Izumo and Kotetsu were taken aback, and Izumo quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Kakashi-sama!"

As soon as Izumo yelled, Kakashi chop his neck with his hand.

"Urgh..."

Izumo can only groan before he fell to the ground.

"Izumo!"

Kotetsu was shocked as he didn't expect Kakashi to actually attack Izumo.

But at the next moment, a powerful fist hit his stomach!

With the same groan, Kotetsu fell to the ground.

Then Kakashi sprinted out of the gate and quickly left the village.

Sasuke and the others were surprised when they saw this.

'What did we just see?'

'Kakashi-sensei/nii attacked the guard? Leaving the village?'

"What happened? What is Kakashi-sensei doing?" Naruto looked dumbfounded.

"Kakashi-sensei attacked the guard? God, what happened?" Karin asked in shock.

"Does Kakashi-sensei really want to defect?" Sakura muttered.

"How is it possible!" Naruto growled.

Sakura was taken aback as she had never seen Naruto so fierce.

"I don't believe, I will ask Kakashi-sensei myself!" Naruto rushed out after speaking.

Sasuke quickly grabbed Naruto and said, "Wait a minute, Naruto, something is wrong."

"Let me go Sasuke! That's Kakashi-sensei! There must be something wrong with this!" Naruto yelled a little out of control.

Sasuke pulled Naruto back and punched Naruto in the face.

Bang!

With a soft bang, Naruto fell to the ground after being punched.

"What are you doing Sasuke?" Naruto shouted.

"Are you awake now?" Sasuke said coldly.

"Sasuke-kun..." Sakura, who was on the side, muttered.

Naruto was taken aback and looked at Sasuke in confusion.

Sasuke then said: "Konoha's guardian work is divided into three levels. One is the ordinary guard, the two that Kakashi-sensei had just knocked down are one of them. This is on the bright side. The second is the Konoha Military Police Force of the Uchiha Clan. And the third is the guard of Anbu. These two are hidden in the dark."

"But just now, neither the Konoha Military Police Force nor Anbu have appeared. That is to say, there must be something going in this. It may even be a mission. If you rushed up rashly like that, it may affect the mission. Haven't you learned anything from the Root's matter before, Naruto?"

Naruto was stunned when he heard this, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

The other three finally understood why Sasuke wanted to stop Naruto.

"What Sasuke said did make sense. There is indeed a weird feeling here. Kakashi-nii's action is also very strange. Let's ask Tsunade-sama to understand what is going on." Jūgo said.

After hearing this, Naruto looked in the direction where Kakashi was leaving, remembering what Sai had said to him at the Root Base, and finally decided to go to Tsunade with everyone to ask about the situation.

Above Konoha's high wall, a white-haired Shinobi watched Kakashi leave.

"Oh? Did Kakashi decide to take the risk alone? It really fits his style, but it is really unexpected for Tsunade to actually agree. Forget it, let's just leave that Hiruko to Kakashi. I'd better go to Tsunade and discuss how to guard against the other villages."

Jiraiya jumped off the high wall and headed towards the Hokage Tower.

At this time, Kakashi kept moving forward on the way to Mount Shumisen.

The red light in his right eye has not dissipated yet, obviously the effect of the Puppet Curse is still strong.

However, what no one knows is that Kakashi's will is actually still sober.

'The effect of this Puppet Curse is not bad, but I did not expect that my Spiritual Force was already this powerful. Even if I am controlled by the Puppet Curse, my mind is still very clear. Sure enough, the Yuhi Clan's secret technique that I have been practicing over the years has not been in vain. In this case, it will be much more convenient. This direction should be to Mount Shumisen. Sure enough, Hiruko is there."

On the other side, in the office of the Hokage Tower, it is a little noisy at this time.

"What! Tsunade baa-chan, how can you actually let Kakashi-sensei do such a dangerous thing?" Naruto said angrily.

Tsunade glanced at Naruto coldly and said, "Naruto, as Konoha's Shinobi, Kakashi has the will to fire. He just went to do something he felt is right. He desperately protected those who are behind him like you, his companions and the whole Konoha. It is not my order, but his own request to do this!"

Naruto was taken aback, and then remembered what Kakashi had said before.

"Don't worry, even if I die, I will protect you. I will never let my companion be killed."

The Kakashi's words in the past reverberated in his ears at this moment.

Naruto knew that it is Kakashi's promise to them.

He is indeed fulfilling his promise.

It used to be, and now is also the same.

"Kakashi-sensei..."

Naruto gritted his teeth and slammed the door open and ran out.

"Naruto!" Sasuke was surprised and quickly followed after him.

Karin and Jūgo glanced at each other and also ran out to chase after Naruto.

Seeing this, Sakura said to Tsunade awkwardly: "Shisou, I..."

"Go ahead." Tsunade said with a smile.

Sakura was taken aback and nodded quickly.

"Okay!"

Tsunade sighed as she watched the leaving Sakura's back.

"Yo, Tsunade, this is not like you. Why are sighing here like that?"

Jiraiya's tall figure jumped in from the window and looked at Tsunade with a wretched smile.

"Jiraiya, so you still know when to come back." Tsunade said irritably.

"Of course, Konoha is facing such a big crisis now. I am the Legendary Sage from Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya, so I will naturally come back to help overcome the difficulties with Konoha." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"Just say it. What happened?" Tsunade frowned.

She understands Jiraiya's character really well. If it weren't for any important information, Jiraiya would not easily go back to the village.

Sure enough, in the next second, Jiraiya's face became serious, and he said: "Tsunade, I found that your breast has become even more magnificent."

...

Tsunade threw a punch and hit Jiraiya's face. He was blown away and flew out!

"Idiot!"
