While Nangong Zhe and Bishui were sorting out the collected information about the Blood Cloak Pavilion, Naruto's group also received a letter that disrupted their plan to go to the Land of Grass. The letter was signed by the Hokage's office in Wood leaf Village of the Land of Fire, and was personally signed by the Fourth Hokage, Watergate.
The first rule of a ninja is to complete the task, and this letter from the Hokage is the most important task for the ninja of Wood leaf Village. No matter how unwilling Naruto was, Kakashi still forced Naruto to return to Wood leaf Village. After separating from Sakura and Naruto, Kakashi came to the door of the Hokage's office.
The letter from Watergate -sensei didn't make it clear why they were summoned back, so Kakashi, who was standing at the door of the Hokage's office at the moment, didn't know what was going on, but as his sensei, Watergate wouldn't embarrass him, so Kakashi adjusted his breathing a little and knocked on the door of Watergate's office.
"Come in …"
Watergate's voice sounded from inside the door, and it sounded a little low, obviously he wasn't in a very good mood.
Don't look at Kakashi's usual lazy appearance, but as a veteran Jonin of Wood leaf Village, he still has the basic ability to observe people's body language. Kakashi braced himself and opened the door of the Hokage's office. The room was a little dark, and the large windows in the Hokage's office were covered by curtains, leaving only a little bit of light stolen from the gaps to bring some light in the office.
Watergate was sitting on the sofa in the office at the moment, and opposite Watergate sat a white-haired man with glasses and a white-haired woman with a bun on her head. Kakashi knew these two people, they were the two consultants of the Elders of Kiba, Mito Menitis and Zhuan Xiao Chun.
At the four corners of the office, there were several Anbu who belonged to Watergate. Even if they were invited by Watergate, Kakashi, who used to be an Anbu, they still swept Kakashi with sharp eyes. Kakashi knew that this was their duty, but he still felt some repulsion in his heart.
"Hello sensei! Hello, two consultants! " Resisting the discomfort in his heart, Kakashi greeted Watergate, Zhuan Xiao Chun, and Mito Menitis: "Sensei gave me a letter, asking me to rush back to Wood leaf, but I didn't expect the two consultants to be here. In that case, I will take my leave first. When the matter is settled, I will come back to find Sensei. "
"Kakashi!" Hearing Kakashi's words, Watergate stopped Kakashi: "What we are talking about is also related to you, so you can stay and listen."
Mito Menitis and Zhuan Xiao Chun looked at Kakashi with their eyes and didn't say anything. Kakashi could only listen to his sensei's order and slowly walked behind Watergate.
"Hokage-sama, I don't know if you can give us an explanation for sending Column Force to Sunagakure for the rescue operation?"
Homura Mitokado took the lead and asked Minato with a questioning tone. Obviously, they already knew that the purpose of the Akatsuki was the Bijuu, but they still sent Column Force to Sunagakure. Isn't this sending a sheep to the tiger's mouth? This time, they were lucky. Naruto didn't have any problems with Column Force, but this was only because of luck.
"I understand what consultant means. You are afraid that Naruto will be in danger in Sunagakure. But have you considered the possible benefits of Naruto going to Sunagakure? I believe that you two have also read the mission report submitted by Kakashi. It was our Wood leaf Ninja who snatched the body of the Kazekage, repelled the members of the Akatsuki, and gave Chiyo grandma of Sunagakure a chance to use Forbidden Jutsu to restore Gaara's life. "
"Wood leaf, without any hesitation, has become the benefactor of the Kazekage and even the entire Sunagakure after this operation. Although we won't do things like asking for favors, but with such an important bargaining chip, it will undoubtedly make the relationship between us and Sunagakure closer. "
"It has been more than ten years since the last Shinobi World War. During this time, not only Wood leaf has been gathering strength, but other Shinobi villages are also slowly becoming stronger. Maybe at any time, another Shinobi World War may break out for some reason. We Wood leaf yearn for peace, but we Wood leaf are never afraid of war. "
"In the third Shinobi World War, we were the strongest, but fighting on three fronts caused the situation to be anxious. Once we have the friendship of Sunagakure, it is equivalent to having the means to contain Iwagakure of the Earth Country. It's also imperceptibly contributing to Konoha's outstanding status. I ask the two consultants and the elders of Konoha to understand the key points of this. "
Watergate spoke with confidence, but Kakashi, who was standing behind Watergate, was already surprised. His Sensei had such deep thoughts? Not only did he set his sights on Wood leaf village, but he also began to focus on the future.
"Akatsuki organization, after all is said and done, is only the strength of a small country like Rain country. Even if they gather a lot of rebellious ninjas and accumulate a lot of money, can they really compare to the foundation of a big country or even two big countries? We shouldn't be afraid of Akatsuki. Instead, we should observe them with a calm mind. "
"Maybe there are all kinds of ninjas with strange talents among them, but no matter how strong they are, they will be defeated by the number of people. What kind of heroes are the Three Generations of Raikage of Kumo Shinobu Village? Weren't they defeated by the Three Generations of Tsuchikage of the Earth Country? "
To be honest, Watergate didn't put Akatsuki in his eyes, because this force was too young. It was just the accumulation of more than 20 years and the recruitment of all kinds of bad Ninjas from all over the Shinobi World. Can such an organization really condense a powerful force? Watergate, based on his experience and knowledge, felt that Akatsuki didn't have the power to threaten Wood leaf.
Carefully analyzing the case of Gaara's kidnapping, it wasn't difficult to find that Akatsuki mainly relied on Sasori's spies in Sunagakure to sneak into Sunagakure, and Deidara used large-scale destructive Ninjutsu to consume a lot of Gaara's Chakra. Such an action didn't prove how strong Akatsuki was.
This method was naturally no problem for Sunagakure, but it was too arrogant to use it against Wood leaf.
