"Oh? What about his temperament?"
"His thoughts are considerably mature, and he doesn't seem like a little brat at all."
"Then what about his loyalty, and what do you think about Kaoru's loyalty, and does he have any disloyal intentions towards the Leaf Village."
The Third Hokage took a puff of his dry tobacco pipe, and continued to ask.
"Loyalty....." Kakashi didn't answer immediately when he was asked this question.
"What's wrong?" The Third Hokage also frowned his eyebrows after seeing Kakashi fall silent, "Kakashi, could it be that you think that Kaoru isn't loyal enough to the Leaf Village?"
"No, and I don't have this thought." Kakashi shook his head, "I've only been on this mission with him, and I can't see this point yet."
"I see." The Third Hokage nodded his head, "If that's the case, then I'll have to ask you to take care of him well in the Anbu, and the Anbu's training can temper a person well, and it can also see a person's essence whether it's ninjutsu or temperament."
"I understand!" Kakashi nodded his head.
"Very well then." The Third Hokage revealed a smile, and then patted his head: "Right, and I'm indeed useless because I'm old, and I almost forgot, and there's also something that I want to tell you!"
"What is it, Lord Hokage?" Kakashi asked.
"Guy came to find me once just when you were carrying out the mission, no, and it wasn't only him, and there were also other Jōnin, and they requested something from me jointly." The Third Hokage said.
Kakashi was still maintaining a cold face, and didn't speak.
"Guy said to me that you have too much killing intent in the Anbu, and you seem to have a darkness that can't be disappeared in your heart, and he wanted me to liberate you from the life of the Anbu, and become a Jōnin in charge to take the students who had just graduated as disciples....." The Third Hokage continued to say, and a trace of sorrow flashed through his eyes.
And Kakashi was still facing the words that the Third Hokage was saying in silence.
"I carefully thought about this problem again later, and felt that what Guy had said made sense, and it seems that the Leaf Village hasn't had any good things happen ever since you experienced the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, the death of your companion, and the death of your teacher.....and you've also been in the Anbu all along, and have experienced too much killing, and it indeed can't bring brightness to your heart, and therefore I agreed to his request."
Kakashi's face, which had been ice cold all along, finally had a trace of emotion after hearing the Third Hokage's words.
"Then what does Lord Hokage mean....."
"I originally wanted to have you leave the Anbu now, and become a Jōnin in charge to take disciples, but you're the strongest ninja in the Anbu right now, and although Kaoru's strength is also very formidable, he's entered the Anbu for too short of a time, and he can't become the soul of the Anbu in a short period of time, and therefore I hope that you'll continue to stay in the Anbu and train him for one year, and you should leave the Anbu and go begin a new life after one year."
"To leave the Anbu after one year, huh....." Kakashi fell into deep thought after hearing the Third Hokage's words, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or not for him to leave the Anbu.
"Therefore, Kakashi, and this is your last year in the Anbu, and you should work hard." The Third Hokage continued to say.
"Yes, and I'll listen to Lord Hokage's instructions in everything!" Kakashi nodded his head, and said.
"Very well then, and you should go down and rest well." The Third Hokage waved his hand.
"Yes!" Kakashi turned around and left the Hokage's office.
"Kakashi Hatake, and I hope that you can eliminate the darkness in your heart after becoming a Jōnin in charge, and Kaoru, and the Anbu will probably have to depend on you after Kakashi leaves....." The Third Hokage thought to himself inwardly while looking at Kakashi's back.
On the other side, the Kaoru, who had walked out of the Hokage Building, didn't go home, but advanced towards the Anbu, and he had to familiarize himself with everything of the Anbu early on, because he knew that he would have to stay in this place for a very long time.
Time passed by quickly, and two years had passed in the blink of an eye.
The year 59 of the Leaf Village, and it was another ordinary weekend.
The newly born sun was warm and tranquil, and the blue sky and white clouds were light and unrestrained, and the beautiful scenery of the summer morning was considerably colorful and varied, but no one could calm down to appreciate it.
Within a lush forest, three figures were running hurriedly, and their feet were stepping on the fallen leaves and broken branches on the ground, and were stirring up a creaking and muffled sound.
"Captain, and how much longer will it take for us to escape out of the Leaf Village's territory ah!" One of the three figures asked aloud, and he was about twenty years old, and there were still traces of childishness that hadn't been shed on his face.
"It'll be fast, and it's only a few tens of minutes of distance according to the map, and we'll be saved as long as we leave the Leaf Village and enter our Grass Village!" The ninja, who was running in the middle, said with a face that was full of maturity.
These three people all had a face that was full of a look of panic.
"This mission has completely failed, and I didn't expect that the Leaf Village's little brat would be this powerful, and he took care of this team of dozens of us by himself, and it's fortunate that we were clever, and escaped out one step ahead of the others!" The ninja, who was on the right-most side, said.
"Stop talking, and save your breath to run, and it'll be a dead end if that little brat catches up!" The ninja, who was called the captain, said.
"He shouldn't be able to catch up, right, and he didn't have any intention of chasing when we were escaping, and judging from the way he looked?!" The youngest ninja said.
And a sound that was difficult to describe rang out at this time, and then they suddenly discovered that a scarlet eye had appeared above everyone's heads!
This eye had three black tomoe within it, and was staring at each of them like the eye of a god.
"What's this thing?!" The young ninja shouted loudly, and this kind of strange feeling made his entire body tremble.
"The shape of this eye is.....a Sharingan!" The ninja, who was called the captain, recognized this eye immediately.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
A sound like shuffling cards rang out, and then a circle of playing cards appeared on the ground where that young ninja was standing.
"Under your feet! Run quickly!!" The captain ninja shouted in alarm.
"What." The young ninja also looked at the bottoms of his feet subconsciously, and then his face became horrified!
"Ah ah ah!!!"
"Pfft!" That young ninja fell onto the ground with a face that was full of fresh blood, and there was a bright red wound on this young ninja's neck, and his eyes were staring wide open unwillingly, and his body was still twitching unconsciously.
And a youth was standing beside this young ninja's body, and he was holding a kunai in his right hand, and blood was flowing down slowly from the tip of the kunai.
"Get out of the way!"
The captain ninja shouted towards another ninja after seeing that this strange youth had suddenly appeared beside them, and had killed one of their companions, and stomped his feet, and leaped onto a tree branch that was several meters high in the rear directly.
And his only surviving companion was still standing in place dumbly, and didn't run away.
"Hey, Amai, and why are you still spacing out there, and you should leave quickly!" This captain ninja shouted towards his companion.
