"Damn that Hatake brat!"
Inside the Uchiha clan compound, Uchiha Fugaku's face was filled with anger, and he cursed viciously!
Kakashi had returned to the village safe and sound for many days, and Minato Namikaze had already taken office as the Fourth Hokage, but the three who he sent to retrieve Kakashi's Sharingan, Uchiha Ren and the others, hadn't returned!
Uchiha Fugaku knew that something must have happened to the three of them!
While angry, Uchiha Fugaku was also deeply shocked. He couldn't figure out how Kakashi, a brat who had just been promoted to Jonin, had escaped the pursuit of Uchiha Ren and the others, and possibly even killed them!
Thinking about how Uchiha Ren and the other two might already be dead, Uchiha Fugaku felt a pang of heartache. They were the elite of the Uchiha clan, after all, and a hint of regret began to grow in his heart!
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have gone to retrieve Kakashi's Sharingan. Compared to that, he really didn't want Uchiha Ren and the others to sacrifice themselves!
"For now, we'll ignore that Hatake kid. As long as we Uchiha exist, he can only stay in the Anbu. If he dares to expose his Sharingan in public, we don't even need to intervene. The village will deal with him!"
In the end, Uchiha Fugaku could only speak with a resentful tone, because in the end, he was also afraid of Minato Namikaze, who was now the Hokage of Konoha!
However, Fugaku completely hated Kakashi!
Kakashi didn't know any of this. At this moment, Kakashi was in the Hokage's office, facing Minato Namikaze, who was sitting there.
"'Wolf', your Anbu team now only has you left, so we need to rearrange things for you!"
Minato Namikaze said, looking at Kakashi!
At this time, Kakashi was wearing Anbu attire, so Minato Namikaze also addressed Kakashi by his Anbu codename!
"Yes! Hokage-sama!"
Kakashi didn't call Minato Namikaze "teacher" either!
He was also anticipating what kind of Anbu team he would be reassigned to!
Or, if his team was gone, would he become a squad leader?
That would be even better!
"Alright! 'Wolf', this time you will go to the Anbu headquarters to find Danzo and join the 'Root' he created! Then, follow Danzo's orders!"
Minato Namikaze looked at Kakashi and continued, a deep meaning in his eyes!
Kakashi was shocked when he heard this. He hadn't expected to be assigned to 'Root' so quickly!
He didn't want to become one of Danzo's subordinates in 'Root'!
"Sensei! I don't want to work under Danzo!"
Unable to help himself, Kakashi directly addressed Minato Namikaze as Sensei, openly stating that he didn't want to join 'Root'!
"Why?"
Minato was surprised when he heard this, he had expected Kakashi to ask what 'Root' was, but not to refuse!
Kakashi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with respect as he looked at Minato, then spoke. He knew that without a good reason, he wouldn't be able to refuse Minato's order!
"Sensei, I think you know the reason for my father, Konoha White Fang's, death, right?"
"Kakashi, how did you know?"
Minato Namikaze was even more surprised, standing up and asking Kakashi!
A hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes. Minato also knew about the death of Konoha White Fang, but he hadn't expected Kakashi to know. Very few people should know about this!
"I guessed it!"
Looking at Minato, Kakashi didn't say he knew because he had transmigrated. Instead, he said he guessed it. With Kakashi's intelligence, it was normal for him to guess!
Minato's eyes flickered slightly. He wasn't too surprised that Kakashi could guess, but he was surprised that Kakashi had figured it out so quickly. He thought Kakashi would need to experience more things over the next few years before figuring it out!
"Have you thought about avenging your father?"
Minato looked at Kakashi with a little nervousness, he had always been worried about this happening!
"No, Father couldn't bear the guilt and killed himself. I know that much. So, I have no reason to avenge him. But I do hate that old coot Danzo, so I don't want to work under him!"
Kakashi said, a little agitated.
Hearing Kakashi's words, the hint of tension in Minato Namikaze's eyes vanished, replaced by a look of satisfaction. That Kakashi could think this way, along with the recent changes in this disciple, really pleased him!
"Good! Kakashi, since you understand this, and you hate that old coot Danzo, you should enter 'Root', which Danzo created!"
Then Minato Namikaze looked at Kakashi and smiled!
Speaking of Danzo, it seemed he was also trying to make Kakashi feel better, also calling him an old coot!
Minato Namikaze did this completely subconsciously, not because he wanted to gain Kakashi's approval. This was just Minato Namikaze's personal charm!
Unseen, it could make people feel a sense of approval and trust towards him!
Kakashi was slightly taken aback by the words. He hadn't expected Minato Namikaze to insist on him joining Root after he'd given that reason. Furthermore, Minato's tone was even more resolute?
Why was this?
"Sensei! Do you want me to monitor Danzo?"
Kakashi was intelligent, and he quickly understood the reason. He looked at Minato Namikaze with a look of realization.
