The Third Shinobi World War hadn't completely ended.
Even though the formal war had stopped, the war behind the scenes had never ceased.
Kakashi's team had taken on another A-rank mission.
This time, it was against Kirigakure.
According to intelligence, Kirigakure had supposedly sent out many ninjas to attack the borders of Konoha.
Early morning.
After assembling at the Hokage Building, Qingchuan glanced at the girl next to him, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Haruko, you seem...very excited?"
Even with a mask on, Kakashi could clearly sense Haruko's happiness.
"You're not nervous about your first mission?"
As that man's former disciple, Haruko had basically never left the village since becoming a Genin.
Her mission experience was a pathetic zero...
No wonder.
That man's goal at the time was probably to use that as a cover...
Using the excuse of teaching a disciple to hide in the darkness of Konoha and carry out those heinous experiments.
But judging from Haruko's expression, she didn't seem nervous at all.
On the contrary, she seemed very excited?
"Of course I'm happy to see the outside of Konoha!"
Qingchuan said from the bottom of his heart.
This was the truth!
He had really known nothing about outside Konoha since he transmigrated here.
He'd only caught a glimpse when he left to solo with Obito...
But that was still within Konoha, so it didn't count as the "outside world."
"Besides, isn't there Kakashi-senpai with me? What's there to be nervous about..."
Qingchuan, code-named Green Tea, said heartlessly.
Itachi was still developing at this time, and he had temporarily left the Uchiha.
If the sky fell, someone else should hold it up for now...
He didn't plan to be a simple medical ninja and laze around after joining the Anbu.
Bankai needed a large amount of spiritual pressure to release...
And the only way to increase spiritual pressure besides training the basic skills was to kill people.
And the Anbu, who traveled in the wind and rain, could do both.
The Anbu base had plenty of spacious and private training rooms, enough for Qingchuan to release Hadō and Bakudō.
And the number of missions, especially in the current situation, didn't disappoint him.
It could be said that joining the Anbu was a huge win.
"Hmm..."
After hearing Qingchuan's words, Kakashi stopped walking and considered it seriously.
"I can't always protect you, Haruko."
"As a medical ninja, you must always remember...your safety is the most important. Do you understand?"
Saying that, a tragic image flashed through his memories.
A hint of pain appeared in Kakashi's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"You have to remember, the lives of everyone in the squad depend on your Medical Ninjutsu."
"Before we die, we will do our best to protect you."
"But...if you encounter a hopeless situation, don't ever turn back. Got it?"
After saying that, Kakashi sighed and straightened his mask.
With a Shunshin, he disappeared.
If only he could have said those words to Rin sooner...
Maybe Rin wouldn't have had to die?
Kakashi's heart was full of conflict.
He really didn't understand the Third Hokage's intention in sending such a girl to him.
Was it a test?
But he didn't have the courage to lose again...
He could only do his best to protect this girl.
Sigh...
In the same spot, Qingchuan's face slowly stiffened as he watched Kakashi leave...
Damn it.
Judging from Kakashi's tone...he probably wouldn't have a chance to fight?
That wouldn't do!
..........
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The squad moved rapidly through the dense forest.
Qingchuan was in the middle of the team.
With Kakashi leading the way and several burly men guarding the rear, Qingchuan felt helpless and anxious...
Kakashi repeated his point again before the squad set off.
The remaining members immediately praised him, making Qingchuan feel exasperated.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Kakashi, at the front, hit the brakes, and the rest of the team stopped.
Qingchuan, with a cold gaze, sensed the situation around him, inwardly cursing...
There were only three of them.
Judging from the sensed chakra, they were just cannon fodder.
Though even if it was only cannon fodder, it was still meat.
But Kakashi wouldn't give him any chance...
"Quick battle, leave no one alive."
Kakashi directly issued the order.
Then, two Anbu followed Kakashi in a charge, directly reaching the Kirigakure ninjas.
Longswords slashed across the three throats. The three men didn't even have a chance to resist, and their lives were extinguished...
The Chidori dissipated.
Kakashi turned to look back and waved.
The Anbu immediately set off again, cleaning up the scene at lightning speed.
Qingchuan, while cursing in his heart, almost gave him a thumbs up...
So...this is the Anbu?
So Fucking Professional!
