"What do you mean by that?" Naruto yelled angrily.
"Haha, Naruto, sometimes the way of your thinking is too simple. What a fool." Sakai mocked.
"Bastard! What are you talking about?" Naruto said, about to rush over to beat Sai, but Sasuke stopped him.
"Naruto, calm down." Sasuke shouted in a low voice.
Jūgo frowned slightly after seeing Sai's expression change.
At this time, Sasuke also found something wrong, as he felt that this Sai seemed to be a little different from before.
There is no sense of fakeness that he had when performing mission together before, as Sai at that time seemed to be a tool.
At this time, Sakai seems to be more like a person.
'But... why is there such a change?'
Sai looked at Sasuke and said: "I originally thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to do such a stupid thing. You went to the Root Base to ask about this kind of thing? Why do you think I will tell you something?"
"This..."
Sasuke was temporarily stunned.
"We are all members of Team Kakashi, what's wrong with answering your companions' question," Naruto said naturally.
"You don't even know the most basic confidentiality rule at the Root? Kakashi-senpai should have told you, right?" Sai said.
"Huh ? Is there such a thing?" Naruto asked in doubt.
Sasuke and Sakura showed embarrassed expression when they heard Sai's words.
Kakashi did say about it before, but they seemed to have forgotten them all.
"Even if you don't know the confidentiality rule of the Root, you should know about the implementation of mission's confidentiality rule. Why do you still hold this naive idea?" Sai asked.
"I...we all want to help Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said excitedly.
Sai looked at Naruto coldly, and said: "Why do you think you can help Kakashi-senpai? When Kakashi-senpai was at your age, he is already an outstanding expert in Anbu. And now he is already Anbu Commander. Why do you think you can help him?"
Naruto took a step back, being pushed back by Sai's cold aura, and was even more shocked by Sai's words.
'Yeah, what can I help Kakashi-sensei with?'
'Why did I think that someone like Kakashi-sensei would need my help?'
"Are you just thinking that you want to help in your heart and act blindly?"
Sai's questions rang, pressuring Naruto's heart heavily.
He began to think if he really did something wrong.
"Sai, perhaps Naruto's behavior is somewhat impulsive, but his intention is good. We are all having the same intention," Sakura said.
Sai glanced at Naruto and the others, shook his head, and said, "You are really naïve. Kakashi-senpai sure has it really hard."
"Bastard! What do you mean by that?" Karin yelled angrily.
Sai pointed to his head and said: "Before doing something, learn to think about how to do it, instead of just rushing forward. Maybe you can solve the problem because of luck, but you won't have such good luck every time. Just like this time, you blindly broke into the Root Base. Not only can you not help Kakashi-senpai, it will only make Kakashi-senpai in more difficult position."
"That's impossible!" Naruto shouted.
"Impossible? The charge of trespassing to the Root Base is enough to make Danzo-sama put a great crime on Kakashi-senpai's head. Don't forget, you are all Kakashi-senpai's students. Your collective actions to a certain extent can be understood as the will of Kakashi-senpai."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, as they seemed to have never thought of this.
At this time, inside Konoha, they are the only five Kakashi has accepted as his students.
For them to act together, many people would indeed consider it to be Kakashi's command.
"The reason I have said so much is because I just want you to understand. Don't use your so-called kindness to make a thing worse." After Sai finished speaking, he showed a big smile.
It's just that this smile seems a bit fake no matter how they look at it.
Everyone looked at each other and seemed to be a little ashamed.
Hearing such a simple truth from Sai, they seemed to have forgotten about it.
Originally, Sasuke and the others were still insisting not to break into the Root Base, but because of Naruto, they have forgot about it.
What they should have done is to pull Naruto away, not to mess around with Naruto.
Looking back now, if they are discovered by the Root's member, it will indeed become very troublesome.
"Then, should we leave now?" Naruto asked tentatively.
"No, the matter is over. Danzo-sama is dead. Kakashi-senpai won this battle of rumors," Sai said.
"What!"
Everyone was shocked.
"The Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal that Danzo-sama put on me has disappeared, indicating that Danzo-sama has passed away. The winner is naturally Kakashi-senpai." Sai said quietly.
"What the hell is going on? Sai, you know something, right?" Naruto asked.
"Maybe you are gathering too early, so you don't know what happened in the village, that's why you feel so confused."
"What happened in the village?" Karin asked puzzled.
Sai explained about the crime book to the five, and also explained the orders issued by Sandaime.
Everyone solved their doubts upon hearing this.
It turns out that the matter has been resolved, and there is no meaning for them to come here.
They then felt a sense of loss at this moment.
It seems that their previous efforts have lost its meaning, and it seems that in the end, they didn't help at all except to add to the chaos.
Everyone looks at each other in dismay, and was a little embarrassed for a while.
No wonder Kakashi didn't want to tell them. Even if he told them, they couldn't do anything.
Everything was already in Kakashi's expectation.
"Sai, thank you. If not for you, I am afraid we would just add trouble to Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said gratefully.
Sai smiled and said: "It's fine, this is what I should do."
At this moment, Karin asked doubtfully: "Sai, aren't you from the Root? Why are you helping us? And, why do you want to help Kakashi-nii?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Sai with some doubts.
Indeed, they felt that it is somewhat strange.
Sai took out a book and said: "This book says that if you provide help when your friend is in a critical situation, your friend will be very grateful to you, and your friendship will be stronger."
When everyone heard this, they all showed helpless expressions one after another.
'Sure enough, it was the same Sai who could only read book and act on it.'
Sai smiled and put the book back in his ninja bag, and in the ninja bag, on the middle page of a picture book, there was a drawing of two smiling figures holding each other hands.
