Chapter 499 Senju

In the abbot's room, Chiriku sat cross-legged at the middle of the room, his eyes closed slightly, and he seemed to be muttering something like a scripture.

Knock knock.

The door of the room was knocked suddenly, and Chiriku opened his eyes.

"Please come in."

With a creak, the door opened.

The person who came in is Kakashi.

"Chiriku-san, sorry for bothering you this late."

"Oh Kakashi-san, have you finished interrogating those Shinobi?" asked Chiriku.

"It's over, and the truth of the matter is also clear. Are you interested in listening to it?"

"Please tell me."

"These people are Orochimaru's subordinates. They were ordered to search around for the body of the expert for Orochimaru. They probably heard that Nauma and others were buried in the Fire Temple, so they came to snatch it."

"So it's like that. I didn't expect that Nauma and the others would be disturbed by these people after they died." Chiriku said, and a slight anger appeared on his face.

"This is how things in the world are. Some people will ignore anything for their own benefit, but some people can give up their lives for their own convictions. All people have different views, and sometimes they would try to insist their views to other people, causing conflict to happen. What we can do is to restrain ourselves."

Chiriku was slightly surprised when he heard this. He took a serious look at Kakashi, and said: "I didn't expect Kakashi-san would have such a view. It is rare."

From the perspective of Chiriku, with Kakashi's reputation, he must be accustomed to killings and didn't understand such thing.

But he didn't expect Kakashi would give his own answer.

Kakashi smiled and said: "Our so-called persistence is nothing more than an idea formed in the process of growing up. No one is really 100% correct. In the end, it's just because of different beliefs and different positions."

Hearing this, Chiriku smiled and said: "Kakashi-san really made me look at you with admiration. Maybe, when you are tired of being a Shinobi, you can come to this Fire Temple. This is a leisure place."

"It's really good here. We work at sunrise and rests at sunset. Unfortunately, many times, we don't have a choice."

After hearing this, Chiriku was silent for a moment, and then said with a sigh: "Yeah, no choice."

"Your life is really makes me envious, Chiriku-san."

"Haha, in fact, I am not as leisurely as you imagined, Kakashi-san."

"Oh? What do you mean, Chiriku-san?" Kakashi said puzzledly.

Chiriku hesitated, and then said: "It's nothing."

Kakashi was a little surprised by seeing Chiriku seemed to be concealing something.

It's just that everyone has a secret, and Kakashi is not the kind of person who would push someone to tell their secret. Since Chiriku doesn't want to say it, then Kakashi will naturally not continue to ask.

Otherwise, not only he won't get the answer, but he would also annoy Chiriku.

"Kakashi-san, for you to come here, is it just tell me about these things?" Chiriku asked.

When Kakashi came over, there must be something he wanted to ask, otherwise, he wouldn't be come at this time.

After all, it is already very late.

Most people have already slept at this time.

"Sure enough, there are some things that can't be hidden from you, Chiriku-san." Kakashi said with a smile.

"Haha, just tell me Kakashi-san, I will help you solve your doubts."

"Thank you, Chiriku-san. In fact, this matter may offend you, but if I don't say it, I feel that I may regret it."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Regarding the secret technique you used before, Chiriku-san, the one called Raigō: Senjusatsu. I have a little question to ask to you about it."

Kakashi said while his eye stared at Chiriku quietly.

Chiriku's pupils shrank upon hearing this. It seems that he was shocked.

But soon, Chiriku returned to his original calmness, as if nothing happened just now.

But it is a pity that even if it was only for a moment, it was still seen by Kakashi.

'Sure enough, that secret technique has a background.'

"Can you tell me your question about this technique?" Chiriku asked softly, seemingly not caring at all.

"This technique seems to be very similar to the secret technique of Senju Clan who was once thrived in Konoha."

Kakashi said softly and the atmosphere turned a bit solemn for a while.

The lights in the room were extremely dim, and only three candles were shining with faint flames in the room.

The wind that blew from the outside of the window caused the flames to swayed, and the shadows of the two on the wall also swayed with that.

Not long after, the wind stopped and the flames stabilized.

The shadows of the two men also returned to their previous appearances.

Chiriku glanced at Kakashi and sighed softly: "As expected of Konoha's Anbu Commander. Not only are you keen in observation, but you are also far more knowledgeable than ordinary people. I used this technique to make a name for myself in the Shinobi World, but you are the only one who have discovered the secret."

"Can you talk about it?"

"It wasn't originally a big secret. Since Kakashi-san wants to know, I will tell you. However, I hope that you will keep it secret, Kakashi-san."

"Of course."

Chiriku raised his head, looked at Kakashi with a solemn gaze and said: "My real name is Senju Chiriku."

Kakashi was shocked, but he was not surprised at this reveal. After all, he had already thought of this guess before.

Senju!

This clan name represents too many meanings.

"Looking at you, it seems that you are not particularly surprised. Sure enough, have you guessed it before?"

"It's just that I had this idea before, but I didn't expect it would be the truth. Why did you tell me this?" Kakashi asked with some confusion

Originally he thought that Chiriku wouldn't mention it, but he didn't expect that he would say it so lightly.

"Because you are Hatake Kakashi, Anbu Commander of Konoha, that's all."

"That's it?"

"It's also because you are Haruno Sakura's teacher."

Kakashi was taken aback when he heard this, as he felt that everything was starting to connect.'

"This..."

Kakashi suddenly remembered that before coming to Fire Temple this time, Tsunade had a strange expression on her face.

He originally thought that it was because Danzo sent Sai, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"So, Tsunade-sama is the one who arranged this?" Kakashi said softly.

Hearing this, Chiriku was also taken aback, and then he smiled: "Kakashi-san, I now understand why Tsunade-sama value you so much, and and even directly trains you as the Rokudaime. Yes, it is Tsunade-sama who asked me to tell you everything about the Senju Clan. After all, the Senju Clan will still need your care!"

Kakashi's mood was fluctuating at this moment, and it takes a while before he finally calmed down.

"Chiriku-san, please tell me."
