Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 59 The Fourth Hokage's Remains
After the village's Jonin squad received the mission, because they needed to assemble temporarily, the Anbu who delivered the message waited for 20 minutes before seeing that the Jonin squad had less than people gathered.

There was no way around it. Although the village's jonin squad always had about 150 jonin, excluding those on missions outside and those from the Ino-Shika-Chou, Aburame, and Inuzuka clans, there were only about 60 people left. Except for Utane, Mitomon, and the Sarutobi clan, most of these 60 people were from small ninja clans in the village, such as the Gekkou clan.

All those who were willing to be present at the moment were ninjas from the Utatane, Mitomon, and Sarutobi clans, while those small ninja clans and civilian ninjas were dragging their feet and did not report. After all, the reasons were ready-made - the village was under martial law and people could not go out.

"It doesn't matter if the others haven't come. Let's set off." said a senior ninja from the Sarutobi clan.

The others all nodded and walked towards the village together.

However, as soon as they went out, they were stopped by a team of nearly a hundred ninjas.

The leader stood at the front of the team, looking a bit ruffian, with the thousand-book cigarette in his mouth flashing coldly under the street light.

"Shiranui Genma?" Because Nara Shikaku's promotion had left his replacement, the jonin squad leader, unavailable, Sarutobi Kōji, a jonin from the Sarutobi clan, temporarily took over command. Upon seeing the newcomer, his brow furrowed, but he managed to speak patiently, "You've arrived just in time. We're shorthanded right now. Come with us and quell the rebellion in the security department."

"Really?" Shiranui Genma raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "But why did I hear that the Security Department was suppressing thugs who spread rumors and slandered the village heroes and tried to force the Security Department to step down through violence? Are you, the jonin, going to help those thugs?"

"Genma Shiranui! Watch your attitude when you speak! You are just a special jonin!" In the jonin team, Mitomon clan's jonin Mitomon Tsuki said angrily.

"Haha, Lord Mitomon has such great authority." Shiranui Genma suddenly spat out the Senbon in his mouth. The Senbon shot out like a bullet and hit the feet of several people almost in an instant. The Senbon pierced into the ground several inches and was still shaking slightly. Seeing this, the faces of the people in the Jonin squad suddenly darkened.

At this time, beside Shiranui Genjian, a man with a scarred face sneered disdainfully: "Genjian, if we had known that the jonin had such great authority, we would have missed out on not taking the assessment for so many years."

"Do you want to join the Uchiha in rebellion?" Utane Kuwamu from the Jonin class shouted.

"Don't give me that. All I know is that there is martial law in the village tonight and no one is allowed to run around." Shiranui Genma said expressionlessly.

"This is the order of Lord Hokage!" Sarutobi Koji said angrily in a low voice.

"Hokage-sama's order?" Shiranui Genjian's eyes also turned cold. "If the Yondaime hadn't died, how could you, a worthless person who hadn't done anything, be able to put pressure on us under the banner of Hokage?"

"The Fourth Hokage..." Sarutobi Koji carefully looked at the opposing team and found that some of them were either the Fourth Hokage's former direct subordinates or people who had received favors from the Fourth Hokage during the Third Shinobi World War.

"Xuanjian, stop talking to them. If you want to fight, then fight. We won't let them pass today even if it costs our lives. The Fourth Hokage has only one disciple, and we can't let him be bullied like this anymore." Bingzu Leitong, who had a bad temper, drew his weapon directly.

"You're courting death." Utane Kuwagi's face was extremely grim, and he drew his weapon, ready for battle. Shiranui Genma took a deep breath, knowing that this was the time to fight to the death. While his side had more men, aside from a few of them who had served directly under the Yondaime, none of them were strong enough to reach the rank of jonin. If they wanted to hold the enemy back here, they would naturally have to pay a heavy price.

The two groups of people were about to fight, but at this moment, a sound like the singing of thousands of birds broke the silence, a dazzling flash of lightning passed by, and a white-haired hand holding lightning instantly appeared in the middle of the two groups, stopping the fighting. Moreover, a melon-headed man in a green tights also arrived soon after.

"Kakashi?" When Sarutobi Koji saw the person coming, his face instantly turned very ugly. If it was just Genma Shiranui and a few others, the thirty or so jonin present would still be confident of defeating the other party, but after Kakashi and Might Guy joined, the situation was instantly reversed. Kakashi and Might Guy's strength can be said to be the elite jonin in the village. With the assistance of nearly a hundred special jonin, they are fully capable of annihilating them.

And when Genma Shiranui saw Kakashi, with whom he had not formally communicated for several years, he also smiled.

"You've finally decided to show up?" Shiranui Genma said with a smile, "I thought you were going to be a coward for the rest of your life."

"Thank you very much." Kakashi turned around and looked at his former teacher's subordinates behind him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"How's life lately, kid?" Bingzu Leitong asked.

"He's fine, but he's getting a bit naughty due to his age." Kakashi smiled, "If you have time in the future, you can come and see me."

Kakashi understood that it was probably his act of adopting Naruto some time ago that made them determined to stand up and support him at this moment.

"Don't say so much for now, Kakashi. Since you are here, we are left to you. Just give the orders for whatever you want to do." Shiranui Genma said with a smile.

Kakashi nodded, then looked at the jonin squad. Without his mask, Kakashi's face was actually a little difficult to tell whether he was male or female, but at this moment, he had begun to exude some of the majesty of a superior. "Everyone in the jonin squad, this matter ends here. I will go and explain to the Sandaime-sama. How is that?"

"Kakashi, you..." Sarutobi Koji wanted to deny it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, lightning began to flash on Kakashi's hand.

Sarutobi Koji's face turned very ugly in an instant. Although he and Kakashi were both Jonin in rank, over the years, the number of Jonin-level ninjas who died from Kakashi's S-level self-created ninjutsu was probably almost three digits. He didn't want to try the power of Raikiri himself.

"Then you go and explain to the Sandaime yourself." Sarutobi Koji snorted coldly, turned around and left. Seeing this, the other ninjas in the senior ninja team could only return the same way.

"Gai, please stay here for me. I'm going to the Hokage Building." After seeing the other party leave, Kakashi extinguished the Raikiri in his hand and said to Might Guy.

"Okay, leave it to me!" Might Guy raised his thumb and grinned. Although he was a bit nervous and still hadn't figured out what had happened, he knew one thing, that is, someone helped Kakashi clear his grievances tonight. As Kakashi's lifelong friend, he naturally had to help.
