After Kakashi returned home, he was really depressed for a long time, but as the Captain of Anbu, he quickly recovered.
"How about it, Kakashi, those students are still very cute, right?"
"Cute?"
Hearing the word cute, Kakashi really didn't know how to answer. Those guys had nothing to do with cuteness, especially Uchiha Itachi's younger brother, that arrogant little kid.
"Forget it, I guess I won't be qualified to lead a team in the next few years."
Admittedly, Kakashi's personal strength is very strong, but the principle he follows in executing Anbu tasks is to put the task first and the life of the teammate second.
But in the ninja team, it is just the opposite, their own and teammates' lives should be put first, and the task second.
So if Kakashi leads a team now, there will inevitably be some major mistakes.
But it's just right, these years can be considered as a good rest for Kakashi, a long vacation, after all, since Kakashi graduated from the ninja school, he has hardly had any rest.
First, he executed tasks in Minato's team, experienced the ninja war, and then joined Anbu after Minato succeeded Hokage. The tasks in Anbu can be said to be more busy, almost no holidays.
"Hatake Satoru, Hokage-sama has a task for you."
Just then, an Anbu suddenly appeared and spoke to Hatake Satoru.
"I know, you go down first."
"Yes."
Before this Anbu left, he also nodded at Kakashi and greeted him. After all, as his former boss, even if he is not now, the respect that should be expressed still needs to be expressed.
"It seems that your teacher really troubles us brothers. He just let you out, and now it's my turn to be the tired one."
Satoru said with a sigh.
"You'll be fine."
Kakashi directly rolled his eyes.
"Now, in the entire Konohagakure village, which Jonin doesn't know that you are the only one who can disobey the Hokage's orders? You do the tasks you want to do and don't do the ones you don't want to do."
"Haha, really? Have I become such a person?"
Satoru touched the back of his head, speaking with a somewhat embarrassed tone.
"Alright, you should go. Maybe the teacher has some urgent task for you?"
Seeing Satoru still chatting with him here, Kakashi couldn't help but urge him.
"Sure enough, Kakashi, you are no longer the cute little brother I used to know. Now you even want to drive me away."
Seeing Hatake Satoru's dramatic demeanor, Kakashi's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. The desire to scold someone can't be hidden, just like Kakashi's gaze now.
"Because I really don't want to see you now."
Kakashi's words were like a sharp blade, directly piercing Hatake Satoru's heart, and it was the kind that drew blood.
"You really hurt my heart."
Hatake Satoru covered his heart with both hands and fell straight down.
And Kakashi didn't seem to want to continue bickering with Hatake Satoru, so he just turned around and left. Kakashi knew that if he continued to deal with him, Hatake Satoru would definitely not leave.
"Ah, what an unlovable little brother."
Watching Kakashi's retreating figure as he went inside to rest, Hatake Satoru sighed, and then also used Body Flicker Jutsu to leave.
The next second, he appeared directly in the Hokage office, in front of Minato.
"Ah, I was just having a heart-to-heart with my cute little brother, but I didn't expect you to call me over all of a sudden. I really am a hard-working person."
Sitting on the sofa, tapping his legs, he picked up an apple from the table and spoke as he tossed it.
And Minato's face showed the same expression as Kakashi's just now.
"Because of this task, now in Konohagakure village, besides you, only Kakashi can do it. I guess you don't want Kakashi to go on a mission just after he has rested, right?"
"Oh? What task?"
Satoru's face showed a hint of emotion. Only he and Kakashi could do it? You know, Kakashi's strength in Konohagakure village is now enough to rank in the top five.
This means that this task may be quite difficult and possibly very interesting.
"A task related to God."
When he said this, Minato's face instantly became serious, and his tone also became serious.
"God? Is it the Fire God again?"
Satoru's tone fluctuated a bit, because now only God can arouse his interest.
"No, it is said to be the Water God."
Since the incident of the Fire God last time, Minato has been paying attention to the possible appearance of gods everywhere. According to Hatake Satoru's report, every god is very powerful. If a god really appears, it will definitely be an unprecedented crisis for the ninja world.
"First the Fire God, then the Water God, how many gods are there in this world?"
Hatake Satoru muttered to himself, which is also Namikaze Minato's inner doubt.
"I don't know, but I feel that they won't have too many Ninjutsu, otherwise, wouldn't this world fall back into a life ruled by gods?"
Minato also expressed his guess.
Satoru also knew why this task could only be done by him and Kakashi in the village now, because among the ninjas in the village, only Kakashi mastered Senjutsu.
Although Minato is also Hokage, he cannot leave Konohagakure village.
And besides Kakashi in the village, Satoru is the second person who can hurt God.
"Then I'll take this task."
"But the accuracy of this task is not very high, it's just that a person suspected to be the Water God has appeared, but whether it's true or not, we still don't know."
"It's okay, just consider it as going on a trip, after all, it's been a long time since I left the village."
"After this task is over, you don't have to return to the village, you can continue to investigate the gods that may appear in the ninja world, as for where you want to investigate, it's up to you."
Hearing Minato say this, Hatake Satoru was silent for a while.
"Thank you."
In the end, Hatake Satoru slowly said these two words.
What Minato did can be said to have given Hatake Satoru full freedom. He knew that Satoru had always been worried about his disciple, Itachi. Although he admitted that Itachi was indeed very outstanding, in Satoru's eyes, he was still a child.
He did this also to facilitate Satoru to meet Itachi.
"After the Akatsuki organization's matter is resolved, I will revoke the warrant for Itachi and let him return to the village."
"Then I'll thank you for Itachi here first."
The matter of revoking the warrant for a rogue ninja has never happened before, and in the future, there may not be many people who can enjoy this treatment. After all, not everyone has the courage to bear humiliation and burden.
