Chapter 320 served

The sun shines through the leaves and dapples the fine light.

In a forest clearing filled with cool air, a man is doing one-finger push-ups with his right index finger.

He did every movement very standardly, hard sweat flowed from his forehead, and he didn't complain of suffering or tiredness, but counted very calmly:

"Nine hundred and ninety-six... Nine hundred and ninety-seven... Nine hundred and ninety-eight... Nine hundred and ninety-nine..."

Every time a one-finger push-up is done, a number will be reported, the breath is long and full, and I am completely selfless in the training.

"one thousand"

After finishing the thousandth one-finger push-up, the man's aura changed, and he stood up suddenly from the ground.

"Very good, I also finished a thousand push-ups today, and the next step is to run 20 laps around the village. I can't stop halfway, otherwise I will be fined to run 50 laps."

To spur yourself in such a cruel way, this is the purpose of life that the manMaite Kai must fulfill.

Don't waste every minute and every second of your youth, and spur yourself every moment not to be satisfied with the current state.

There are still many powerful enemies waiting to be defeated in this world.

Come to the front of a tree, Kai bent down to pick up the water bottle placed there, and drank happily.

Just as he finished drinking the water and was about to put down the water bottle, his ears moved suddenly, and a sharp breath came from behind without warning.

Can't help but think about it, turned around quickly, stretched out his palm, and firmly grasped the arm that hit his body, making the attacker's attack ineffective.

Immediately following was a brilliant white knife light, swung a crescent-like slash from bottom to top, Kai immediately let go of the attacker's wrist, and jumped back vigorously, thereby keeping a safe distance from the opponent.

Kai, who opened a safe distance, his shoulders trembled slightly, and it could be seen that it was very reluctant to dodge that slash.

"As expected of you, Kai, I didn't expect to escape my attack when I was exhausted."

Kakashi flicked the White Fang dagger in his hand easily, then retracted it into the sheath behind his back, and praised Kai.

Kai showed a pair of shiny teeth, and said: "Kakashi, don't forget, I am your opponent for life, this level is not a problem at all."

"Really? Seeing that you are fine, I am relieved."

Kakashi saw the hearty and confident smile on Kai's face, and his tone relaxed.

Kay scratched her head, feeling at a loss.

"Why, did you come here to comfort me, Kakashi?"

"Yes, after all, after Obito and Rin left, you are the only friend I cherish most in Konoha among my peers."

Kakashi did not hide his intentions, leaned against the shade of a tree next to him, took out "Massacre Heaven" from his ninja bag, watched it with relish, and said to Kai.

"Haha, then you're going to be disappointed, Kakashi, I didn't feel sad at all. Dad, even though he burned the last of his life, he died with a smile in the end. Moreover, as a genius teacher Liuli, he recognized Dad's efforts. What regrets do I have?"

Kai replied like this, and there was no trace of resentment in his tone.

"Do you really think so?"

Kakashi asked casually.

Kai nodded, with a flame of sincerity burning in his eyes.

"A man who devoted all his youth and hard work to his death in a duel with a strong enemy will never leave any regrets in his life. This is the path that Dad pursues. As his son, all I need is respect."

"Yes, Uncle Dai, he has been pursuing the path of transcending himself all his life. If you think so, maybe you can surpass Uncle Dai's achievements in the future."

Kakashi nodded in approval.

Maite Dai is undoubtedly a ninja who works tirelessly for life.

A person like him has already devoted all his youth and hard work in his past life.

If you want to say that such a person still has regrets in life, it would be too arrogant.

This is a respectable man.

Kai inherited such a will, and Kakashi believed that Kai would probably surpass his father in the future.

Kay understood this, so he didn't have any resentment in his heart.

Because any resentment is a disrespect to his father.

At the last moment of his life, his father tried his best to fail to defeat the ninja, and then handed over this unfinished goal to his children to inherit and protect the village. Maite Dai's life has no regrets.

"How about it, a rare opportunity, do you want to have a youthful and passionate fight with me? Kakashi?"

Kai smiled and invited Kakashi, with a strong fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

"Oh, I'll forget it, Anbu has a lot of things to deal with recently, and it's rare for me to relax."

Kakashi glanced at Kai, and lazily refused.

The Uchiha clan was exterminated. The mission originally belonged to the Uchiha Guard, but now it is all assigned to Anbu.

Dealing with all kinds of civil disputes in the village every day, I am a bit too busy. I don't have time to try with Kai.

After all, in the competition between myself and Kai, it is impossible to tell the winner for a while.

Under the premise of using fairy art.

Kay was about to say something when suddenly a figure appeared not far away, wearing the same Anbu costume as Kakashi, with a ninja knife behind his back, and an animal mask on his face.

Kakashi saw this Anbe ninja appear, and closed the "Kindness to Heaven" in his hand, and sighed softly.

Really, I finally took some time to sneak over here, do you have a task again?

Could it be that the villagers drink and make trouble again, and Anbu needs to go to mediate?

Doing this all day, Kakashi also felt a little bored.

At any rate, he is also Anbe, dealing with these trivial matters all day long, feeling a bit overqualified.

The Uchiha clan was wiped out, and the bitter fruit of the lack of security system was exposed by itself.

"Tianzang, what's the matter?"

Kakashi came over and asked.

Tianzang replied: "Captain Kakashi, you really know how to be lazy, and now the team is almost busy."

"Didn't I take time out to buy something? How about it? Is there something wrong again?"

Kakashi scratched his head helplessly.

"No, it was Hokage-sama who called you over. It seems that I have something to tell you."

Tianzang came to convey the order.

"Master Hokage? I see."

Kakashi put "Massacre Heaven" in his ninja bag and kept it safe. Since it was Hokage's order, there was no way for him to be lazy.

Immediately afterwards, Kakashi turned his head to look at Kai and said, "Then, Kai, I'll go first."

"It's okay, Kakashi, Anbu's work is important. If you want to compete, you can come to me at any time. Youth does not allow slack!"

Kai gave Kakashi a thumbs up, his exposed teeth were shining brightly, encouraging Kakashi to work with 100% energy.

"They said they didn't come here for a competition... Forget it, anyway, it's good if you can see it."

Kakashi responded perfunctorily to Kai, and then left the woods with Tenzo.

Kai looked at Kakashi's back, and muttered to himself: "Look away?"

Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The feeling of being cared for by friends is also very good.

"Very good, let's complete today's training according to this momentum! The next step is to run 20 laps around the village at full speed, and increase to 50 laps if you can't finish!"

Kai patted his face, his eyes flashed with passionate fighting spirit.

"Anbu...Minister? Let me be in charge?"

In the office, Kakashi reconfirmed Hizan's statement, seeming a bit unbelievable.

It has been almost eight years since he joined the Anbu. He was already a member of the Anbu when the Fourth Hokage was in power.

And acted as the squad leader of the squad at a very fast speed.

After the Third Hokage regained power, he was the first person to become the sub-captain in the Anbu of the new generation.

The speed of promotion is second only to Uchiha Itachi who defected to Konoha before.

However, the sub-leader and the head of Anbu are two completely different concepts.

Because the power in the hands of Minister Anbu is so great that it can replace Hokage to a certain extent and completely control the organization Anbu.

There are not only 70 people in Anbu, the 70 people are only responsible for actual operations. If you count the number of trainers and logistics management, the number will be even larger.

It can be said that the position of Anbu Minister is not inferior to that of Jonin Squad Leader.

Even closer to the privileged class than the Jonin squad leader.

There is no doubt that this is a position that has already entered the core of Konoha.

It is precisely because of this that during the reign of the Three Hokages, the position of Minister Anbu has always fallen on the Sarutobi ninjas who were born in the Three Hokages, so that Anbu will maintain absolute loyalty to the Three Hokages.

Once there is a problem of loyalty in Anbu, the consequences will be dire.

Because of this, Kakashi felt unbelievable.

"Long and Purlin sacrificed. In Anbu, only you can provoke Anbu. Don't reject this proposal, Kakashi."

If Takashi Sarutobi and Purinko Sarutobi hadn't died on the battlefield of the Kingdom of the Wind, Hirazan would naturally not have replaced the Minister of Anbu at this time.

But the fact is so cruel, his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law have already died on the battlefield, and Anbu cannot be leaderless.

In addition, I am also planning to hand over the position of the next Hokage to Tsunade, and I can start the handover of Hokage only when Jiraiya is fully prepared.

In this way, the Minister of Anbu can no longer choose Jonin from the Sarutobi clan.

Kakashi is a sharp blade he left for Tsunade.

It can form a deterrent internally and externally.

When Tsunade is in power, he can quickly grasp the power of Anbu, so that there will be no mistakes in policy implementation.

Facing Hirizan's solemn request, Kakashi sighed, nodded his head, and said with a wry smile: I understand, Hokage-sama, although my ability cannot compare with Minister Takashi, but since Hokage-sama trusts me so much, I will try my best to do my job well as Minister Anbu.

Rather than actively accepting it, Kakashi at this moment seems to have passively accepted the position of Minister Anbu.

He didn't know what kind of psychology Hirizhan gave him as the high-ranking minister of Anbu, but if he could use this position to completely enter the core of Konoha, then his long-term efforts would not be in vain.

"I won't say much about guidance, Kakashi, you have been working in the Anbu for nearly ten years, and you are already proficient in various businesses in the Anbu. There is one more thing that needs to be done by you. This is your first task after becoming the head of the Anbu."

Hi Zhan's face became serious.

"Please speak, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi immediately entered the Anbu minister mode.

The change of identity also means that you are getting closer to your 'goal'.

"Because of the extermination of the Uchiha clan, the security system in the village is now paralyzed, and you know that. Now I plan to re-establish a security department, merge it into the Anbu system, and hand it over to you to manage."

Hizan stared into Kakashi's eyes and said.

There seemed to be more surprises than Kakashi imagined.

If the security force is also merged into the Anbu for joint management, then the position of Minister of Anbu will have even greater power.

This means that Kakashi can arbitrarily place his own people in the four Anbu units and the next security department.

"yes."

Kakashi replied solemnly.

"I have already asked Lu Jiu to handle the manpower of the new security team. When the time comes, I will leave it to you to review and discuss with Lu Jiu. After all the personnel pass the test, just report to me."

It's not that Hirizhan doesn't want to review it himself, but he got the news that Danzo seems to be secretly plotting some taboo plan, which seems to be related to the tailed beast Chakra.

Hi Zhan needs to prevent Danzo's small actions. These things can only be managed by Kakashi, and he only needs to perform the final verification.

It happens to be a good time to check whether Kakashi is qualified as the new Minister of Anbu.

If you are not qualified, you can only let someone else take the job.

This position not only considers strength, but also the ability to manage and coordinate subordinates, which is not an easy job.

Kakashi nodded, expressing his understanding.

"By the way, your position is now promoted, and the original position of the second division captain will be vacant. Let Tianzang take it."

Hizan remembered something and said to Kakashi.

"Tianzang? I know."

Kakashi is very clear about the reason Hizan did this.

Although the Minister of Anbu was assigned to him, he did not fully delegate power to Anbu.

Tianzang is Anbu Jonin who is loyal to Naruto, and the captains of the other teams are also in the same situation.

If you think that you can do whatever you want in the Anbu if you become the head of the Anbu, and within a few days, he will be the head of the Anbu.

It seems that we can't completely relax our vigilance. Kakashi thought to himself.

Thinking about it is right, the power will be even greater if it is merged into the Anbu of the security force. If the head of the Anbu is really allowed to dominate the Anbu, no matter who uses it, he will not feel at ease, and some restrictions will definitely be added to the Anbu.

However, as long as he can honestly do his job well, then Hokage will only turn a blind eye and close one eye, and will not interfere.

The power to choose people independently to join the Anbu and the Guard is the biggest gain for Kakashi.

As long as he has these two powers, he can easily completely paralyze the system of Konoha and the security team, making Konoha's Anbu and the security team do nothing for half a year.

The so-called development time is squeezed out bit by bit.

"Is there anything else you want to order, Hokage-sama?"

Kakashi asked.

"There is one more thing, it's about Sasuke Uchiha."

Hizan thought for a while, and then talked about Sasuke to Kakashi.

"Uchiha Sasuke? The only survivor of the Uchiha genocide? What happened to him?"

Kakashi asked doubtfully.

Hizan showed a little embarrassment on his face, and said to Kakashi: "It's not that he had any accidents, but according to what he said, a stone tablet located under the meeting room of the main hall of Nanga Shrine has disappeared. That stone tablet seems to be very important to the Uchiha clan. He came to me before and wanted to find the whereabouts of the stone tablet. Hmm... Let Anbu investigate this matter for the time being, and you are responsible for handling it."

"I see. I'll take care of this."

The stele under the meeting room of the main hall of Nanga Shrine?

That thing may have been carried away when the Oni Land envoys came to visit Konoha.

But Sasuke Uchiha definitely didn't know about this.

The visit to Konoha by the Envoys from the Demon Kingdom was actually done in secret, and there was no publicity in the village, and only a few people knew about it.

This is also because the upper management doesn't want to be in the village and cause unnecessary troubles, so it is also arranged in this way.

Those who knew about this incident were also ordered not to publicize it.

After completing the negotiations, the Oni Country envoys also left Konoha immediately. Generally speaking, no unexpected conflicts were caused, and the senior management in the village breathed a sigh of relief.

But it may not be so easy to solve the follow-up problems.

For example, the stele mentioned by Ri Zhan has been taken to the kingdom of ghosts. How to investigate this matter?

Even if the investigation is clear, they probably won't come back at all.

No matter what, it is impossible for Konoha to send someone to the Kingdom of Ghosts to get that stele back.

Since the stone tablet was also brought back to the country of ghosts, it means that for the Uchiha clan, the meaning of that stone tablet is not ordinary.

It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to get the stele back from the Ghost Kingdom.

So, the potential meaning Hirizhan wants to express is already very clear, just find a reason that can convince Uchiha Sasuke, and just fool this matter.

Kakashi scratched his head, it seems that he has no time to rest and read recently.

Mt. Miaogi.

The sacred place ruled by toads.

Toads can be seen everywhere here, whether they are palm-sized toads or toads as big as hills, you can find them all.

If ordinary people are newcomers, they may be surprised by such a scene, but for Jiraiya, every plant and tree here is very friendly.

"The boss of Fukasaku."

Zilai also saw Fukasaku Immortal clasping his hands by the pond from a distance, practicing celestial arts, so he walked over quickly and called him.

Jiraiya's call came from next to his ear, Fukasaku Sensei recovered from his practice, opened his eyes, and seemed not surprised by Jiraiya's arrival:

"You really came, Xiao Zilai."

"Sure enough?"

Jiraiya was also somewhat puzzled by Fukasaku Sage's reaction.

Moreover, he didn't seem surprised that he came back intact.

Senjin Fukasaku nodded and replied: "Yes, I was forced to teleport back to Mt. Miaomu that day. My mother and I were very worried about your safety, but the elder suddenly called us over and told us not to worry too much. Because this time you will survive the catastrophe without any danger, and then return to Konoha safely. It seems that the prediction of the elder is very accurate, and you are fine."

"Has the Great Toad Immortal already known?"

Zilai also heard this, and his face was startled. .

Having learned half-baked fairy art, even though he can look down on most ninjas in the ninja world, he still feels awe of the big toad sage who can peek into fate.

The Great Toad Immortal predicted that he would survive the catastrophe this time without any danger, he was surprised, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable and not worth making a fuss about.

"Don't mention this, when you return to Mount Miaomu this time, apart from visiting us, you also want to ask the elder about something, right?"

Sensei Fukasaku seemed to have seen through Jiraiya's mind.

Zilai nodded without hiding it. He came to Miaomu Mountain at this time, and he did have some questions he wanted to ask the Great Toad Immortal.

He is now deeply worried about the possible bad situation in the ninja world in the future.

He hopes to get some clues from the Great Toad Immortal, so that in the face of possible future crises, he can take precautions in advance to avoid greater casualties.

"I knew you would do this. The enemy you fought that day was really terrifying. Especially the boy with white hair and a strange red gun..."

Immortal Fukasaku remembered something at this moment, and said with lingering fear.

"How to say?"

Ji Lai also asked in doubt.

"Do you still remember that during the battle that day, the child's mother was only stabbed by that gun, and then your fairy mode canceled it?"

Immortal Fukasaku suggested.

"That's right, I remember that. What's wrong with that gun? Boss Fukasaku, do you know something?"

Jilai also became serious.

It was precisely because Immortal Shima was accidentally stabbed by that strangely colored red gun that day that his immortal mode was accidentally released.

also laid the groundwork for his later defeat.

He still doesn't know how the gun cracked his immortal mode.

If you can't figure out the secret of that gun, then even if you use the fairy mode next time, it will still be cracked.

In other words, if the secret of that gun is cracked, there may be a possibility of turning defeat into victory next time.

"I don't really understand the specifics. I can only say that the gun is very dangerous for ninjas. Even us as immortals, it would be very troublesome to be stabbed. In short, Ziraiya, just come with me and you will know."

After Fukasaku Immortal finished speaking, he jumped up in front of him, leading Jiraiya the way.

Jiraiya followed the pace of Fukasaku Sage with a feeling of uneasiness.
