On the way to Orochimaru's hideout, two figures ran quickly.
"Wait, if you don't want to go in, just stay outside and guard."
"I'll call you if there's a problem."
Kakashi looked at the girl who had been silent all the way.
He had been struggling for a long time, but finally made a decision.
It seemed that the man's betrayal didn't have as little impact on Haruko as it seemed.
That's right...
Haruko and Rin were both tolerant.
They were just bold, a little too bold...
However.
Since the Third Hokage insisted on him taking Haruko...
He would take her then.
Staying outside without going in would also count as a mission.
"Um...I'll go in with you, Senpai."
Qingchuan replied softly.
"I want to learn more from you and get experience."
Qingchuan said, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Kakashi was a little strange.
He always felt that Kakashi was being used as two people now.
He had just returned from the Hidden Mist front.
He had turned around and taken on a mission to investigate Orochimaru's hideout.
Konoha was really short on manpower...
But what surprised Qingchuan was.
He was also brought along on the mission.
What a disaster...
Unable to continue killing people to increase proficiency, Qingchuan had originally planned to go to the Root training camp to train like crazy.
Who would have thought he would be pulled over to run errands...
But what's done is done.
If he remembered correctly, he would probably meet an interesting guy on this mission with Kakashi.
The current Root assassin, Kinoe.
The future Konoha worker, Yamato.
He looked honest and worked hard, especially his Three Rooms and One Living Room Technique, which was a model of labor skills!
Although he was fooled by Danzo in the early stage.
After Kakashi's unremitting persuasion, he resolutely jumped from Root to Anbu.
Starting his legendary life as a worker.
Qingchuan was really looking forward to meeting this future worker...
Kakashi didn't say anything more.
The two sped up a bit, and soon arrived at their destination.
It was located in the most remote corner of Konoha's many deep forests.
The entrance was blocked by several trees, but it had been simply cleared by the Anbu, leaving only a dark hole, which looked a little creepy.
"Stay behind me, Haruko."
Kakashi took two steps at a time, walking in front of Qingchuan, looking cautious.
Qingchuan followed behind Kakashi.
But the look in his eyes gradually became strange...
The aura he sensed with Soul Perception... seemed to be more than just Kinoe?
Under the mask, the corner of Qingchuan's mouth turned up slightly.
Proficiency... was coming to his door.
The two walked forward cautiously and slowly.
And soon after they entered the hole.
Several figures wearing masks, as Qingchuan expected, appeared in front of the hole.
Although they were wearing the same standard equipment as the Anbu, the more sinister look in their eyes under the masks confirmed their identities.
Root.
There was only one Root member who wasn't too tall, and his eyes were a little tangled and confused.
"Kinoe, you go in first. Be careful to make Kakashi and Uchiha Haruko let down their guard. Don't make a fuss."
The Root leader ordered.
"Remember, that traitor, Kakashi, who killed his comrade, must be eliminated. You can do it directly if necessary."
"We will be here to support you at all times."
The Root member's voice was powerful.
Kinoe's eyes gradually became firm after hearing the words "killed his comrade."
"Yes!"
Nodding, Kinoe's figure flickered and jumped into the hole without hesitation.
......
At the same time.
Hokage Building, Hokage Office.
"I heard you found a former hideout of Orochimaru."
Danzo squinted his one eye and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, it should be a research facility left by Orochimaru. I've sent someone to investigate."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped his work and said slowly.
"I see..." Danzo breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Are the people you sent reliable?"
"Given Orochimaru's madness, it may be dangerous for ordinary people to investigate his hideout."
The concerned tone made Hiruzen Sarutobi a little puzzled.
However, thinking that Orochimaru had once worked for Root, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood.
"They are very reliable subordinates, and there is also a young ninja who I think can be trained."
"There shouldn't be a problem."
The reliable subordinate was Kakashi.
And the young ninja who should be trained... was naturally Qingchuan.
Thinking of the conversation that day, Hiruzen Sarutobi's brain was a little swollen...
A good little girl had been brainwashed into that.
A medical ninja...
He didn't want to see that girl, who had a high talent and was determined to become a medical ninja, be ruined by Orochimaru!
He hoped this mission would improve the girl.
Konoha was really short on manpower now...
"If that's the case, then I can rest assured."
Danzo, confirming that the information was correct, turned around with satisfaction and slowly left.
Before leaving, the joy of getting the Sharingan made Danzo not forget to show off...
"I hope they're safe..."
