"it's over?"

In the cave, there are three illusory figures on the stone pillars.

Standing at the beginning was Payne, and the other two were Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost and Crane Pine.

After the mission in Frost Ninja Village was over, they contacted Payne and asked about the next action plan.

"Well, I got the commission, but I ran away with three kids!"

"It's no big deal to run away. Even if you don't run away, Konoha will be able to dig out your situation from the Frost Ninja....." Unless you take action to kill the employer and all the witnesses, it's impossible. Mercenary organizations also have to be credible. If the [Akatsuki] organization has a bad reputation in the dark world, no one dares to work for them.

Payne did not take this matter to heart, and he continued to instruct:

"You two go to Tianyu Country, and Kaede will meet you in Daming Mansion in Tianyu Country."

"I know the Daming Mansion of Tianzhi Country."

The Watermelon Puffer Ghost nodded.

"Also, after you meet Kaoru, I'll give you two months off! I won't give you new tasks, and you will do whatever you want. But it's best to remember to stay away from the Fire Country during this period. If you are caught by Konoha or killed... I won't care."

Xiguashan Puffer Ghost and Hesong were thrusting their faces. Boss, should you be so straightforward? Are you not afraid of us betraying the organization?

But betrayal of the organization or something, just think about it.

They have personally experienced Penn's mystery and power. Instead of being a traitor, it is better to commit suicide! The pain and fear of the soul being pulled away... Death seems to be not the end, and there is no more terrible punishment than that.

Konoha Village.

Naruto Building.

"With a sharp sword, it can devour chakra, the big sword, the shark muscle, is one of the seven ninja swordsmen, the watermelon mountain puffer ghost, who was wanted by the Mizuki Village last year...I didn't expect to join this new [Aki] organization...

Nara Kazuhiro looked at the report and frowned slightly.

It seems that this [Xiao] organization needs to pay attention to the ability to absorb guys like Xiguashan Puffer Ghost.

"Is Kakashi okay?" Nara Kazuhi asked with concern.

"I suffered a great injury, but fortunately I would not leave any sequelae. Compared to physical injuries, I was more worried about his psychological condition... This mission has had a big blow to Kakashi." Minato sat behind the desk and rubbed his temples with great distress.

When he saw Kakashi lying on the hospital bed, his eyes were dull and he looked like a dead person, his heart was cold.

Fortunately, after Lin and Obito arrived, Kakashi's dead eyes finally showed a sense of a living aura, but the hatred and anger that passed through the fleeting sea of ​​abyss made Minato's slightly relaxed heart hang up again, and he can't let it go until now.

Hate will cover people's eyes.

Anger can burn people's sanity.

He is now particularly worried that Kakashi will be driven by hatred and anger, commit irrational behavior, and finally go on the wrong path.

"Well! Mental condition! I can only try my best to enlighten me..." Heart disease also requires heart medicine. This disease is useless even if Lord Tsunade comes back.

Nara Kazuki understands Minato's troubles.

Psychological trauma is very common. Every year, graduates cannot withstand the life of killing ninjas. They are mentally injured and have to give up their forehead protection and return to the ranks of ordinary people. There are also teammates like Kakashi who die, thus changing their temperament, becoming crazy and bloodthirsty... This is even more common.

Not everyone can grow up in darkness and have a heart towards light like Prince Ming.

Just like Erzhuzi, he completely fell into the abyss of revenge. The common route is to become so extreme that he goes into a devil. The only difference between Erzhuzi is that Prince Youming, an indomitable good friend, dragged him out of the darkness.

"What should I do about the Frost Ninja Village?"

Nara Kazuki changed the topic.

It is not important to say that Kakashi's matter is actually important. It is just because he is the apprentice of Lord Naruto. Otherwise, he will only mention it in one sentence. Naruto is busy with everything, so he doesn't have so much time to pay attention to a certain person. Even if there is one, it's just a small group.

When talking about the culprit of this incident, Frost Ninja Village, Minato's eyes turned cold.

"I will deal with it, Frost Ninja... They need to pay the price. They have caused me to lose fifty-eight elites at the roots. I will get this account back with my own hands." As the saying goes, the clay man is very angry. Although Minato always looks gentle and elegant, when he gets angry, even Kushina will be obedient like a rabbit.

When he received the news that Kakashi was seriously injured, Minato really got angry. Last year, Obito was seriously injured, and this year Kakashi was sent to the operating room. Will Lin also lie on the hospital bed for a month or two after next year? This made Minato very angry.

Since he is angry, someone will inevitably be in trouble.

After learning the details from Oki and Mikawaguchi who brought Kakashi back, Minatomi had already sent Shimizu to Frost Ninja Village with his special trident Kunna.

Nara Kazuki was silent and quietly lit a wax for Frostnut in his heart.

"There are also Yun Nin and Lu Jiu, who sent a message to the fourth generation of Lei Ying and told him that I need an explanation for the matter between Frost Nin."

Minato's words are loud and loud.

Nara Kazuki nodded and quietly repaired Yun Ren with a candle in his heart.

He didn't feel any problem with threatening Yun Nin, one of the five major ninja villages. Who made Yun Nin lose so badly during the three battles? He was beaten by Ion Ninja with a black tiger and has not yet recovered. Yun Ninja can't afford to offend them Konoha now.

"This [Xiao] organization?"

Nara Kazuhiro asked carefully.

"Let Gen check it out, I want to see what this newly rising mercenary organization is!" Minato's eyebrows were like swords and sharp eyes were full of murderous aura.

———

Konoha Hospital.

Single ward.

It was a coincidence that this ward was the one that Obito lived in last year. Less than half a year passed, Obito went out, and then Kakashi moved in again.

"Kakashi, do you drink water?"

“·······I cooked the porridge!”

Lin sat on the chair beside the hospital bed, looking at the depressed Kakashi, her mood was also extremely depressed.

This is completely different from Obito's time. Obito was physically injured at that time. Kakashi's worst now is not physical pain, but heartache. Lin had only seen Kakashi feel so depressed once before. It was when Kakashi's father, the great hero known as Konoha White Teeth, committed suicide.

She saw Kakashi in unprecedented despair.

But I didn't expect to see Kakashi like this for the second time.

"Lin, thank you. I don't want to eat anything now. Let me... let me stay alone!" Kakashi's voice was very small, so weak and powerless.

Lin was silent.

Obito next to him blushed and looked at the depression Kakashi. He wanted to say something and cheer him up, but the surging mood in his chest was too complicated. There were too many things he wanted to say, which made him unable to sort out his mind for a while and didn't know what to say.

Finally, Lin Qiang squeezed out a smile and stood up, "Then let's go out first, Kakashi, you can recover from your injuries, we'll come to see you tomorrow."

Lin pulled Obito outward.

If it were the case, Obito would probably be so happy that he couldn't find Kita because he held hands with Lin.

But at this time, he didn't notice that Lin was holding his hand tightly. He was led by Lin to the ward step by step. He looked at Kakashi lying on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling with no eyes, and stopped suddenly and grabbed Lin.

"Kakashi, don't give up!"

Obito lowered his voice.

"You are Haki Kakashi, and they are the target I have been chasing. You... Don't give up! I've been trying to catch up with you."

Kakashi's eyelids moved, and he still stared at the snow-white ceiling.

Lin and Obito left.

The ward became quiet again. Except for the nurse who came to check the situation twice, no one came to disturb his purity.

Kakashi's vision is a snow-white ceiling, but in his mind is the tragic battle in the Frost Ninja Village over and over again, the scene of Hinata Takahei struggling to entangle the Puffer Ghost in the Watermelon Mountain, the moment when Tang Ze who saved him was being slapped by the sams muscles, the scene of each subordinate dying...

"strength!"

His lips squirmed and spit out these two words in this quiet ward.

The dark eyes were filled with the light of hatred.

He hated the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost who killed his subordinates, hated the powerlessness and could only watch his subordinates being slaughtered. He longed for power......... He wanted power like never before, and he wanted the power that could protect his companions.

To be honest, he did not have much deep feelings with the ninjas of Hinaga Takahiro, who were all rooted in the group. They met because of this task. When he was in the Frost Ninja Village, his pain was real, but after leaving the Frost Ninja Village, the grief gradually subsided.

There is no way, he lives in such a world.

Either killing people or being killed, this is the fate of a ninja. He understood this truth when he was studying in a ninja school.

But!

As expected, he still didn't want to see his companion die in front of him. He hated such a scene.

This time, the one who died was Hinata Tetsuhei and others who had just met for a while.

But the next time, will it be Lin? Obito? Teacher? Kushina's wife... Nothing is impossible. Obito has fallen down in front of him once, and it is this room and this hospital bed.

In front of Uchiha Night Light, he had clearly experienced that feeling of powerlessness and the pain of hating his incompetence...

But, what are you doing in the past six months?

It has been almost half a year, but he is still the same as he was half a year ago and has no progress!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Kakashi clenched his fists, and the wound on the bandaged arm cracked again, and the snow-white gauze dyed a bright red color, but Kakashi seemed to have not felt it. He closed his eyes and his brain started running at full speed, looking for a way to make himself stronger.
To be continued...
