In a separate room, Naruto woke up. His injuries caused by the steel wires have healed: "Strange, where is this place? Am I not in Uncle Ibixi's torture room?"
The door opened, and standing at the door was an Anbu wearing a mask. He said indifferently: "Uzumaki Naruto, the Fifth Hokage is waiting for you on the top floor of the Hokage's Mansion, go there quickly!"
Whoosh! Naruto jumped on the roof and saw Kakashi wearing a Hokage Cloak and a bamboo hat on his head, with his back facing him, looking at the Hokage Rock standing in front of him with a sad look on his face.
Naruto said: "Kakashi-sensei …"
Kakashi turned around and said: "Naruto, there is a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
What's wrong with Teacher Kakashi today? Why is he keeping me in suspense?
Naruto said without thinking: "Good news!"
Kakashi said: "After the investigation, it was confirmed that the person who set the fire that night was not you. The fire was caused by the prank of those children. It was unfortunate that they were burned to death, but it was also their own fault …"
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, but there was not much joy on his face.
Kakashi asked: "The charges have been cleared, aren't you happy?"
Naruto said: "What's there to be happy about? Those were a few fresh lives. Their prank may have been just a moment of confusion, but they lost their lives forever. Maybe in the future, they will also become the pillars of Konoha …"
Kakashi's eyes flashed with a complicated look, and his voice softened a bit: "And … when the fire happened, your mother was frightened and was about to give birth. Your father took her to the highest hospital in Konoha, and everything went well …"
Naruto was pleasantly surprised: "Ah, my mother gave birth!! I have a younger brother!! "
"Not a younger brother, but a younger sister …"
"Nani!? I have another younger sister! "
"Ah … this is the good news I want to tell you."
"Then, what's the bad news?" Naruto asked.
Kakashi clenched his fists behind his back and said in a serious tone: "From today on, you are no longer a Konoha Shinobi …"
"Eh??" Naruto's joyful expression froze on his face. Then, he asked in confusion, "Why? Since I am innocent, why deprive me of my ninja qualification? "
Kakashi said, "This is the decision I made after full consideration. I don't think it's suitable for you to stay in Konoha …"
"Teacher Kakashi …"
"Say no more!"
"But!!" Naruto was extremely unwilling.
"Don't you want to be Hokage? Then you should know that as a Genin, unconditionally obeying Hokage's orders is a matter of course!! "Kakashi even brought up Hokage's orders, making Naruto unable to refuse.
Naruto clenched his fists and asked in a trembling voice, "Then, can I come back in the future?"
Kakashi asked, "Do you think there is anyone in this village who wants you to come back?"
"…" Naruto's eyes dimmed.
But he immediately said, "Kakashi -sensei, thank you for your teachings in the past, I will not forget your teachings. In this ninja world, those who break the rules are called garbage, but those who don't cherish their companions are even worse than garbage!"
"In the future, no matter how the people in this village look at me and my father, I will regard them as important companions. If Konoha is in trouble in the future, I will not sit idly by! Even if I don't deserve it! "
Kakashi's heart was dripping blood: Naruto, suspecting that your heart is tainted with darkness is an insult to you, but Naruto … What really doesn't deserve is not you, but this rotten village!
Kakashi said, "Go to your father, he is waiting for you at the back door of the village!"
Bang! Naruto kneeled on the ground and solemnly kowtowed a few times to Kakashi and the Hokage Rock behind Kakashi, then took off his forehead protector, picked up the kunai, gritted his teeth, carved a horizontal line in the middle of the kunai, and then tied it on his forehead, turned around, and disappeared from the roof.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew, Kakashi took off his Hokage hat, took off his left eye patch, and watched Naruto leave with his Sharingan …
Before this, Kakashi and Minato had a long conversation between teachers and students.
They reviewed the details of their relationship and work together over the years.
At the end of the conversation, Kakashi proposed to let Minato's family leave the village. This was the only time Kakashi and Minato put on the Hokage's face!
After all, Minato was a man who had become the Hokage, and he immediately understood his disciple's good intentions.
Minato knew that no matter how hard it was, he would not propose to leave the village. Kakashi, as his disciple, couldn't bear to see him stay and suffer, so he pushed him forcibly! In the name of the Hokage's order!
Before leaving, Minato earnestly said: "Kakashi, you have to become an excellent Hokage. Also, I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."
It wasn't until Naruto disappeared from his sight that Kakashi put on his hat again, but he threw the blindfold on his left eye into the wind … The Sharingan that couldn't be closed symbolized his determination to face the future!
Whoosh!
The Anbu who had greeted Naruto in front of the ward flashed in front of Kakashi: "Hokage-sama! The radical people of the village, represented by the parents of the children who died, held a demonstration to show their power, protesting against your decision to define Naruto as innocent, thinking that you are shielding Yondaime-sama's family! "
"Announce to the village that I have expelled Yondaime-sama's family from Konoha, and the four children who were burned to death will be awarded the title of 'Hero' by Konoha, and their families will be supported by Konoha for life. In the future, there will be no garbage mountain in Konoha, and there will be no more demons under the garbage mountain …" Kakashi's voice suddenly became cold: "If you are dissatisfied with this, then come at me, the Fifth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi!"
"Yes!" The Anbu respectfully responded and disappeared in front of him.
When Kakashi was about to leave, two old figures appeared behind him. They were Konoha's consultants, Mito Homura, and Utatane Koharu.
"Kakashi, look at what you have done! Why did you send Yondaime-sama's family away? For so many years, we worked hard to set up a shield to share the pressure of public opinion, but you destroyed it! "
"If the hatred of the people is not on Minato's family, they will remember who really destroyed Konoha many years ago, who killed their families, who made them lose their wealth and homes. If they call to attack the Rock Village to avenge their dead family, what will you do then?"
Yes, it was these two consultants who conveyed the news of Yondaime-sama's death to Minato and his wife, and asked them to go back to the village to bear the pressure.
At that time, the whole village was immersed in sadness, and those who lost their family, property, and homes would definitely want to retaliate against the Rock Village. At that time, Konoha's vitality was greatly damaged, and they couldn't spare any energy, so they adopted a policy of diversion …
All the hatred was transferred to Minato's family!
It was conducive to the stability of the village, and it could also quell the war!
Kakashi's heart had been suppressed for a long time, and at this moment, he couldn't restrain himself anymore: "You two, you have successfully diverted the hatred and attention of the people, but you have also encouraged them to do nothing and shirk responsibility. Facts have proven that your decision was stupid!"
"Kakashi!! Are you all grown up now!! How dare you stare at us with Sharingan! The number of Sharingan we have seen in our lives is more than the number of salt particles you have eaten! "
"Unbelievable! I recommended you because I thought you would be more obedient than Tsunade, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant! "
The two consultants scolded him together.
Kakashi closed his eyes. Whoosh! When he opened his eyes again, it wasn't the three tomoe, but the Mangekyo pattern. His aura completely changed, and with a flash of purple lightning, the two consultants were lifted into the air!
"This is … the same as the Raikage!"
"Damn it, Purple Lightning Chakra Mode, when did you do that!!"
Kakashi, who was covered in purple lightning, said: "When you were busy taking advantage of your seniority, I never stopped moving forward! I am very grateful for your contributions to Konoha's bloody battles! But your era has already passed! I will take out your pension from the village's limited funds, and from now on, you can retire behind the scenes and enjoy your life! "
He let go of his hand, and the two old men fell from the roof and fell to the dust.
"Kakashi, you'd better remember this! Today's matter is not over! "
The two consultants got up, patted the dirt off their bodies, and left after leaving the harsh words …
Kakashi looked at the flowing clouds in the sky and muttered to himself: "The disease needs to be treated with strong medicine. Although it is accompanied by pain, it is finally the first step … The next step is to peel off the old scars of Konoha one by one and drain the poisonous blood!"
