Chapter 324 Tasks related to the future of Konoha

After returning to the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage carried out a thorough cleaning of the desktop.

Looking at the empty desktop, the Third Hokage somewhat relieved the anger in his heart, sat on the chair and began to recall the conversation with Danzo half an hour ago.

In order to reduce the losses on the front line, he agreed to all the conditions proposed by Danzo in exchange for Danzo's promise to rush to the front line.

To be honest, Danzo's conditions are actually not excessive.

He is the Hokage in the village, and any actions taken by Danzo and Genbe must be made known to him, and the action can only be officially launched with his permission.

But this also means that he is responsible for Danzo's actions.

The things Danzo did in private cannot be put on the table. If he really knew and agreed to Danzo's actions, it would have a very serious impact on his reputation.

In this way, the persona he has worked hard on for many years will collapse soon.

However, he has no other choice now. If he continues to consume like this, the power of his faction will be greatly weakened and even threaten the safety of the village.

After calming down, the Third Hokage picked up the information sent from the front line from the ground.

After seeing the Iwagakure jinchuriki causing hundreds of casualties to the Konoha troops, the Third Hokage frowned and looked in the direction of the ninja school.

If Konoha's Jinchuuriki had formed a fighting force, the village would never have been so defeated on the front line.

Danzo didn't make any mistakes in front of him and threatened him in a subtle way.

But Naruto is still very young and is far from being able to go to the battlefield. Going to the battlefield with Naruto's current strength will only become a drag on the village.

However, although the Jinchuuriki cannot be put into the war immediately, counting the time, Naruto has been in the ninja school for four years and is still two years away from graduating from the ninja school.

It was also time to consider the choice of Naruto's leader teacher, and a qualified leader must be found for Naruto.

At this time, the third generation of Hokage suddenly thought of Kakashi. Kakashi is a disciple of Namikaze Minato. His strength is considered the first among the younger generation of jounin. It is best for Kakashi to become Naruto's leading jounin. s Choice.

You don't even have to wait until Naruto graduates from the Ninja School, you can start training Naruto now.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage said to the ANBU beside him: "Go and ask Kakashi to come over. I have something very urgent that I need to see him for."

…

Not long after, Kakashi appeared in front of the Third Hokage dressed as an Anbu.

He looked at the Third Hokage in confusion and asked cautiously: "Sir, what do you want from me? Do you want me to rush to the front line to support you?"

In Kakashi's opinion, the Third Hokage must be looking for him for frontline matters.

After breaking away from Danzo's roots, he has been staying in the Anbu to work for the Third Hokage. He just returned to the village some time ago and is responsible for finding the spies hiding in Konoha.

The Third Hokage looked at Kakashi, shook his head and said: "The battle on the frontline is important, but I have a more important task to give you... This is related to the future of the village."

"What mission?" Kakashi was very surprised. What mission can affect the future of the village.

However, these powerful people always like to use exaggeration. In fact, it is very difficult to say whether it is that important.

The Third Hokage saw Kakashi's thoughts and said, "Do you remember Uzumaki Naruto?"

Kakashi's expression changed and he quickly said: "Naruto? Isn't he the son of Minato-sensei and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki? Could it be that some villagers or ninjas are eyeing him?"

"No, he has a very good reputation in the village, just like Obito back then."

The Third Hokage shook his head and said:

"Naruto has not encountered any threats. I have always sent ANBU to protect him. The reason I came to you this time is to let you get in touch with Naruto, train him in advance, and teach him to become a qualified ninja."

At the end of the sentence, the Third Hokage emphasized the word qualified.

Kakashi hesitated and said: "Sandaime-sama, I remember that Naruto is still in the ninja school. The teachers in the ninja school should be more professional than me, and I have never had any teaching experience."

"If the Third Generation really wants me to teach Naruto, it's better to wait until Naruto graduates from the Ninja School. By then I may be able to accumulate some experience."

The Third Hokage sighed and said:

"If it were in a peaceful era, I would naturally let Naruto stay in the ninja school for a few more years, but the village has encountered the threat of the Iwagakure Jinchuriki. If Naruto cannot be trained into a qualified Jinchuriki, the village will suffer casualties on the front line. greatly increase."

After a pause, the Third Hokage continued: "And you have been working in ANBU for so long, have you never thought about leaving ANBU and living a normal life?"

"A normal life?"

Kakashi fell into silence, he had almost forgotten how normal people lived.

He is different from most ninjas in the village. He has no parents or lovers, and the people he cares about most in his life have left him forever in battles.

The only ninja in the village who could talk to him was Metkai.

But Metkai is also not a normal person. Every time he finds him, he will only discuss with himself. He doesn’t know how his optimistic and cheerful personality emerged.

So for Kakashi, the life of an Anbu is no different from the life of ordinary ninjas.

After pondering for a moment, Kakashi said: "I have no interest in a normal life, but if it is the Hokage's order, I will get in touch with Naruto."

"Sandaime-sama, do you want Naruto to graduate directly from the ninja school and I go over to take over as a disciple? Or do you want to contact Naruto in other ways?"

Hearing this, the Third Hokage fell into deep thought.

In his mind, of course, the sooner Naruto has combat capability, the better. It would be great if he could be trained into a Jonin within half a year and sent to the front line to fight.

But no matter how talented Naruto is, it would be great if he could become a Jonin within five years.

After pondering for a while, the Third Hokage said to Kakashi: "I have no idea yet of letting Naruto graduate from the ninja school and let you lead the team. You should find another way to contact Naruto."

"Naruto has had a hard time living alone these past few years. I hope you can take care of Naruto."

"However, I hope that you can guide Naruto well in daily life, so that Naruto can become as great a ninja as his father."

A ninja as great as Minato-sensei...

The figure of Namikaze Minato appeared in Kakashi's mind, and he shook his head.

It's been so long since Minato-sensei died, but he still can't forget what happened back then. He hopes that Minato-sensei's children can really become as great a ninja as their teacher.

But can he really guide the children of good teachers? Kakashi doubted himself.
