Chapter 221 Kakashi, pass on what Minato taught you!
Hinata Hyuga's position was originally intended for someone else; initially, he thought the most suitable candidate would be Sasuke Uchiha.
Unfortunately, something unexpected happened on the night of the Uchiha clan's massacre, and Uchiha Sasuke disappeared.
It's unclear whether Sasuke Uchiha is dead or what happened to him, since the entire Uchiha clan compound was emptied out, leaving not a single body behind.
Although most people think that Sasuke Uchiha should be dead, after all, a furious Uchiha, after watching the murderer who destroyed his clan escape, saw the murderer's brother, it is hard to say that he would not vent his anger on the murderer's brother.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi's intuition told him that Sasuke Uchiha was not dead, and that he would reappear.
In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi made a decision: he put the files of Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, Sakura Haruno, and Kakashi together.
"Someone come here."
"Lord Hokage!"
A ninja strode into the Hokage's office.
"Go and tell Kakashi to come here. While you're at it, get Kakashi's file out of the Anbu. He won't be working for the Anbu anymore."
"Yes!"
At the Hatake residence, Kakashi got out of bed, washed up, and walked into the dining room where he saw Saiki Sakumo (Hatake Sakumo) sitting there reading a newspaper. Breakfast was already prepared on the table.
"Get up, let's eat first."
"Okay, Uncle Zuoyun."
"Knock knock knock~!"
Kakashi had just sat down when there was a knock on the door.
"You eat, I'll go open the door."
Shuo Mao put down the newspaper and walked towards the door.
"coming."
As soon as Sakumo opened the door, he saw a ninja wearing a Jonin vest. He recognized him immediately; this Jonin was a special Jonin who worked inside the Hokage Building.
"Hello, is Kakashi home? The Hokage has ordered him to come to the Hokage's office."
"Okay, I understand. He'll go over after he finishes breakfast."
"I've finished eating, let's go now."
Kakashi quickly ate a couple of bites of food, drank a glass of milk, and then came out.
"Alright, then come with me, Captain Kakashi."
As the captain of the Anbu, Kakashi was highly respected among the ninjas of Konoha.
Kakashi knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.
"Enter."
Having received Hiruzen Sarutobi's permission, Kakashi entered the office.
"Lord Hokage, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, it's Kakashi."
When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw that it was Kakashi, he put down his pipe and gave him a friendly smile.
"Kakashi, you've been working in the Anbu for quite a while now, haven't you?"
Kakashi nodded, unaware of why the Hokage was suddenly asking this.
"Although you've done a great job in the shadows, I think you're still young and shouldn't always live in the shadows like this."
You should start living in the sunlight again and interacting more with people. Otherwise, the Hatake family's reputation will begin to decline with you. Your father, the White Fang of Konoha, was a hero of Konoha.
As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, walked over to Kakashi, and patted him on the shoulder.
"So, starting today, I'm relieving you of all your duties and work in the Dark Division and transferring you away from it."
"What! But Hokage, I've been transferred out of the Anbu. What about all the unfinished work?"
Kakashi was a little confused. Why was he called over so early in the morning just to tell him that he had been dismissed?
"Unfinished work will naturally be taken over by someone else."
As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi clapped his hands.
"Tianzang, come out."
"Lord Hokage."
A ninja wearing an ANBU uniform and an animal mask stepped out.
"Take off your mask."
Tenzo removed his mask and then waved at Kakashi.
"Hello, Kakashi-senpai."
"Heavenly Treasury!"
Kakashi was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Tenzo to appear here.
After Orochimaru's human experiments were exposed, Tenzo was rescued and initially recruited into the Root. Later, due to his contact with Kakashi and his ideological differences with Danzo, he was asked by Hiruzen Sarutobi to join the Anbu after the number of Wood Release practitioners was exposed, becoming Kakashi's junior.
"From now on, you will hand over all your work as the leader of the Dark Guard to Tianzang. Tianzang is a junior you personally trained. You should be able to rest assured that you are entrusting him with this task."
Tenzo looked at Kakashi and smiled smugly.
"Hehehe, Kakashi-senpai, don't worry, I will do my job well."
"Tianzang! Don't get too cocky, kid!"
"Alright, Kakashi, just like I said, it's time for you to go back to work in the sunlight."
Hiruzen Sarutobi handed over the information he had compiled to Kakashi.
"From now on, you will be a Jonin leading a team. Take a good look at these materials. These children will be with you for a long time."
Kakashi took the documents and opened them.
"Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, Sakura Haruno?"
Upon seeing these three names, Kakashi took a deep breath.
"They're all troublesome characters. An important Jinchuriki of a village, the young lady of the Hyuga clan, only Sakura Haruno is somewhat normal. Hokage, I'm afraid I can't do this job well."
"No, Kakashi, I believe in you. You are sure you can do this job."
Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Kakashi on the shoulder again to comfort him.
"Kakashi, Naruto is your teacher Minato's child. With that connection, I believe you will be able to get along well with him."
"Minato-sensei..."
Kakashi looked at the documents in his hand and instinctively covered his left eye.
In that instant, a multitude of past memories flooded his mind.
Until that war took away his two teammates, and the final night of the Nine-Tailed Fox took away his teacher as well.
Of the original ninja squad, only he remained.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew what Kakashi was thinking, and he offered words of comfort.
"Kakashi, do a good job leading this class and carry on what Minato taught you, okay?"
Kakashi finally took a deep breath and accepted the documents.
"Understood, Lord Hokage. I will complete the mission!"
"Okay, that's good. I believe you."
"Go for it, Kakashi-senpai! Leave the Anbu tasks to me, I'll definitely complete them perfectly!"
Tenzo, standing to the side, patted his chest and assured Kakashi.
Kakashi glanced at Tenzo and shook his head.
"Okay, it's up to you now. Good luck."
"Alright, Kakashi, you can go and get ready now."
"I understand, Hokage-sama. I'll be going now."
"Go."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, in a great mood.
"In this way, Naruto has gained a few more people he has ties with in the village."
"Then next up is Jiraiya."
