The relationship between Guren and Yūkimaru is obviously a little complicated.
Yūkimaru's mother once saved Guren, but Guren killed Yūkimaru's mother, even if she had no other choice.
Now, Yūkimaru regards Guren as his most important person, and Guren also regards Yūkimaru as something more important than her own life.
Thus the relationship between the two becomes complicated.
But at this time, Guren has given up everything and stood in front of Yūkimaru to protect him. That determination was enough to move Kakashi's heart.
At this moment, Guren is no longer a tool of Orochimaru, but a person who lives for herself.
At this time, she truly has her own life.
Yūkimaru slowly woke up and he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Guren's back.
"Guren-nee!" Yūkimaru exclaimed happily, but he soon discovered the wounds on Guren's body and the blood that shed all over the ground.
"Guren-nee! What happened to you!" Yūkimaru asked worriedly.
Guren turned her head and looked at Yūkimaru. Seeing that Yūkimaru is safe and sound at this time, Guren felt a little relieved.
"I'm fine, Yūkimaru, how do you feel?"
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. Guren-nee, what's going on?" Yūkimaru said as he looked at the crowd in front of him suspiciously.
Right now, apart from Kakashi, Yūkimaru does not know anyone in front of them.
He just feels that the current atmosphere is weird and something bad seems to have happened.
"It's okay, Yūkimaru, take a break, it will be over soon."
"Guren-nee..." Yūkimaru grabbed the corner of Guren's clothes with some worry.
Yūkimaru is not an idiot. The situation in front of him does not look optimistic, not to mention the fact that Guren's body is still full of wounds.
When Haku looked at the scene in front of him, his heart moved a little.
Haku remembered that at that time, he was looking at Zabuza with such a look.
At this time, Kakashi said: "Guren, you can rest assured, we will not do anything to Yūkimaru. These Kirigakure's people come here just to bring Yūkimaru back to Kirigakure."
"Bring Yūkimaru back Kirigakure? Do you want to do strange things to Yūkimaru?"
At this time, there was still blood remaining in the corner of Guren's mouth, and cracks appeared on the jade crystal sword on her right arm, but she was still looked at them with alertness.
She knows the cruelty of this world and would never believe in anyone easily.
"Yūkimaru is the son of the Yondaime Mizukage. For some reason, he is living outside all this tiem. When Kirigakure heard of the news about Yūkimaru, they quickly come here to bring Yūkimaru back," Kakashi said.
Guren was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect of Yūkimaru would have such identity.
At first, Guren was a little skeptical after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, she knew that Kakashi had no need to deceive her.
After all, the gap between the two sides is very huge, and Kakashi didn't need to trick her.
"Really?"
"Of course it is true. You should know that I have no need to deceive you. Yūkimaru has been displaced since he was a child. You should send him back to where he belongs."
Hearing this, Guren hesitated, and then she looked at Yūkimaru, and asked: "Yūkimaru, are you willing to go back with them?"
Yūkimaru naturally heard Kakashi's words, and although he was a little confused by it, he still understood it a little.
It's just that Yūkimaru didn't have a clear understanding about his identity as the son of the Yondaime Mizukage.
And things like father, in Yūkimaru's impression, are very vague.
"Guren-nee, wherever you go, I will go with you." said identity.
Hearing this, Guren was moved, but thinking about her identity, she hesitated.
Guren wants to go to Kirigakure with Yūkimaru. After all, it is Yūkimaru's hometown. For Guren who lost her home, she understood clearly about the meaning of the word hometown.
In the end, Guren chose to take Yūkimaru to Kirigakure with Ao and the others.
Originally, Guren was worried about Orochimaru, but for Yūkimaru's sake, Guren chose to take that step.
Moreover, today's Kirigakure is not a weakling. Orochimaru can't easily come in and out of that place.
More importantly, Orochimaru will not go to Kirigakure for Guren.
After all, he has more important things to do.
Originally, Ao and the others are not going to take Guren with them, but seeing Yūkimaru's attachment to Guren, they knew that they need to bring Guren along with Yūkimaru.
As a result, this strange situation happened.
Ao and the others returned to Kirigakure with Guren and Yūkimaru, and Kakashi and the others also returned to Konoha.
It's just that this time, the mission can be said to end with failure.
A mission failure was something rare to Kakashi.
After all, Kakashi's mission success rate has always been high, and unless there are some uncontrollable factors, there is no mission Kakashi can't finish.
But this time, the mission failed.
Not only they did not get Sanbi, but Ao also lost his Byakugan.
It can be said that this time they not only failed, but also failed completely.
There are naturally many reasons.
Kakashi was not worried about Konoha's reaction, but thinking about Mei's reaction, Kakashi felt some headaches.
After all, it's okay if he just failed to get Sanbi, but now that Ao has lost his Byakugan, Mei would certainly annoyed.
But things have already happened, and Kakashi can do nothing about it.
Kakashi felt a bit strange. This time, he seemed to have a feeling of being led by the nose from beginning to the end.
The other party knew all about their movements and location, and they even set up an ambush, which seemed a little weird.
'Is there a traitor?' Kakashi couldn't help but think of this in his mind.
Thinking of this, Kakashi couldn't help but look at Sakai at the back of the group.
Among the people here, only Sai is an unfamiliar member of Kakashi.
More importantly, Sai is a member of the Root.
Kakashi narrowed his eye after thinking about it, 'Could it be that that guy is restless again?'
At this time, in an underground base, Orochimaru seemed to be waiting for something.
Not long after, a wave of spatial fluctuations appeared not far from Orochimaru, and a young man with short hair wearing a spiral mask came out from it.
"Ah, Orochimaru-senpai, I wonder if the deal between you and Tobi is still counted. Are you really going to give the Sanbi to Tobi?"
The young man with a spiral mask said in a strange tone.
Orochimaru looked at Obito with interest and muttered softly: "Haha, this is really interesting. There is no one else beside us here. Do you want to communicate with me in those strange tones? Tobi who called himself Uchiha Madara?"
