After hearing what the ANBU member said, Kakashi could only suppress his doubts, pull down his headband to cover his injured left eye, and then follow closely behind the ANBU member, speeding all the way to the Hokage Building.
Upon arriving at their destination, Kakashi intended to go directly to the Hokage's office, but the Anbu member stepped aside and blocked his way, saying, "The location isn't the Hokage's office; it's the conference room."
After finishing speaking, Bento led the way, walking quickly to the other side of the building.
Kakashi was taken aback, but could only nod and quicken his pace to catch up.
Before long, they arrived at the door of a conference room.
The ANBU member pushed open the door and gestured for Kakashi to enter.
Kakashi took a deep breath and stepped inside.
As soon as he entered the door, Kakashi stopped in his tracks and stood there stunned.
Several people were already seated in the conference room, talking in hushed tones.
Seated at the head of the table was his teacher—the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
Minato was dressed in a sacred robe, his short golden hair was dazzling, and his handsome face was adorned with a gentle smile.
To Minato's right stood Uchiha Shisui.
Kakashi's gaze swept across the room, where he saw Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga, Hizashi Hyuga, and others all present!
Fugaku Uchiha sat there calmly, arms crossed, his expression serene and composed.
The Uchiha beside him remained silent, his handsome face revealing neither joy nor anger.
The Hyuga clan patriarch, Hiashi, and his brother, Hizashi, were also seated solemnly. The two brothers stood up straight with dignified expressions, adding a touch of solemnity to the entire conference room.
He was shocked: the heads of the two major clans of Konoha were both present?!
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
At that moment, Kakashi truly felt for the first time the prestige his teacher held in Konoha.
No wonder they were able to drive Danzo to that state.
From the respectful expressions on Fugaku and Hiashi's faces, Kakashi increasingly realized that Minato's prestige was deeply rooted in people's hearts and was by no means undeserved.
in the audience.
"Father is so awesome!" Naruto was so excited he almost jumped up from his seat, looking at the spirited Minato Namikaze on the screen with admiration and pride on his face.
Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Good heavens! Fugaku and Hiashi have both been called to a meeting—"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the Third Hokage standing beside him, a smirk playing on his lips as he teased, "Old man, what do you think?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was engrossed in watching when Jiraiya's words suddenly made him cough repeatedly: "Cough, cough~ Well, well, Minato is, after all, a talent I have high hopes for."
He gave a few perfunctory dry laughs and awkwardly touched his beard.
[Ding! An emotional fluctuation from Hiruzen Sarutobi has been detected! Emotional value +500!]
On screen, Minato Namikaze smiled slightly upon seeing Kakashi arrive: "Kakashi, you're here? How's your left eye? Are you alright?"
Kakashi quickly stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Lady Tsunade has already checked him and he is fine."
"That's good." Minato Namikaze nodded, then beckoned to Kakashi and said gently, "Come on, the meeting is about to begin."
Kakashi verified it, but he didn't react for a moment.
However, he immediately realized that Minato-sensei wanted him to stand next to him!
Kakashi quickly walked to Minato Namikaze's left and stood there.
He clicked his tongue in surprise.
I never imagined that Kakashi would have such a status in the dream?
Kakashi secretly glanced at Shisui standing on the right. It seemed that he and Shisui were Minato's right and left hands.
"Alright, let's begin."
Minato Namikaze glanced around at everyone present and announced cheerfully, "There are still some arrangements to confirm regarding tomorrow's Chunin Exams final match."
The meeting officially began.
Kakashi stood to the side, listening attentively to his teacher's words, but his brows slowly furrowed.
The Chunin Exams final trial in the dream didn't have a thirty-day break like in reality; instead, it would take place in twenty days.
In other words, the final trial will officially begin tomorrow!
However, the content discussed at this meeting was almost identical to what happened in the Hokage's office during the day.
They were all discussing the enemies that might appear in this Chunin Exams.
However, neither Minato nor Fugaku and Hiashi took the approaching enemy seriously at all.
Everyone chatted and laughed, relaxed and at ease, and soon they had finished assigning their respective tasks.
The deployment was decided so casually.
This contrasted sharply with the tense and solemn atmosphere that the Third Hokage and the others had in the Hokage's office during the day.
"The Uchiha clan will be responsible for security at the examination site, and the Hyuga clan will assist with patrols. If there are no other issues, let's proceed with this plan." Minato Namikaze smiled as he made the arrangements, and everyone present nodded in agreement.
Hiashi Hyuga nodded solemnly: "I will obey the Hokage's orders."
Fugaku Uchiha waved his hand dismissively and said arrogantly, "Fourth Hokage, rest assured! No matter what kind of enemy comes, we guarantee they won't leave alive!"
Minato Namikaze laughed heartily upon hearing this.
He was clearly confident, but he still cautioned, "Don't be too careless! There are probably quite a few who want to cause trouble in this Chunin Exams!"
Seeing that the agenda had been discussed, Minato Namikaze decisively announced, "Meeting adjourned! Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Oh, Kakashi, you stay behind."
As the fourth generation leader spoke, everyone in the conference room stood up to take their leave.
Fugaku Uchiha walked at the back. As he passed Kakashi, he paused and gave Kakashi a meaningful, wary look.
However, Kakashi didn't see it.
His mind was completely focused on his enemies. His opponents were clearly so powerful, so why did everyone seem so indifferent?!
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
in the audience.
Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep sense of misunderstanding in each other's eyes.
"That's it? Wasn't Minato far too careless?" Jiraiya rubbed his ears, wondering if he had misheard.
It's important to understand that in reality, Konoha is already on high alert and unable to sleep or eat properly just from the possibility of encountering those enemies.
But the information in the dream was real—three groups of enemies had already infiltrated the village, yet Minato and the others were so nonchalant about it.
Jiraiya grew increasingly astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Could it be that Minato didn't know about the important information Orochimaru revealed last night?"
"Very likely." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slowly.
on the screen.
After everyone had left.
Before Minato could speak, Kakashi stepped forward and asked urgently, "Minato-sensei! According to our reconnaissance, there's a high possibility that one of the potential enemies is a top-tier expert who has mastered the power of the Six Paths! How can we be so hasty?"
"Hmm?" Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly. "Oh, you mean this? The Third Hokage mentioned it to me last night, I know."
Kakashi chuckled, "You knew?"
You know and you're still so nonchalant?
Was Minato truly fearless, or was it a case of [Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
