"Although the power between the two was vastly different, for some political considerations, the Third Hokage did not carry out a purge of Shimura Danzo's faction, but chose to let it go."
"As things stand, Danzo Shimura's forces have grown increasingly powerful, and they have never given up their ambition for the Hokage position, making internal strife inevitable..."
"Under these circumstances, the Third Hokage chose me to be a candidate for the next Hokage, in order to divert Danzo Shimura's attention."
"As long as I am safe and sound, Danzo Shimura's attention will only be on me, and he will temporarily give up his infighting against other people in Konoha, so as to minimize the losses from Konoha's internal strife."
Sakumo Hatake's words made Kakashi Hatake suddenly realize something, and his eyes lost their former brilliance, replaced by deep disappointment.
He once thought that Konoha, under the guidance of the Will of Fire, would unite as one and fight for a better tomorrow.
But reality dealt Kakashi a harsh blow, showing him that even towering trees have shade, and that in places where the sun doesn't reach, there is not only shadow but also darkness.
Chapter 9 gave Kakashi Hatake another shot of adrenaline.
As the moon rose above the branches, two small figures sat on the roof of the Hatake residence.
They are the brothers Akira Hatake and Kakashi Hatake.
One person looked up at the full moon, while another hugged his knees and gazed into the distance.
Such a harmonious scene is only missing a jar of wine.
Unfortunately, the two are still just kids, and the three ninja rules firmly bind them. If they want to further explore the adult world, they'll have to wait another 12 years.
“Ming, after understanding the darkness hidden deep within, why can you still…” Kakashi carefully chose his words, “So… um… indifferent?”
Because I've already seen the ending!
Of course, Akira Hatake could only think about it in his heart; he couldn't tell the truth. He could only adopt a roundabout strategy.
“It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that I think thinking too much is just worrying unnecessarily.” Akira Hatake withdrew his gaze from the moon. “Until you reach that position, thinking too much won’t help.”
"Can……"
"No buts, Kakashi." Akira Hatake put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder and squeezed it hard. "What you need to think about now is how to protect yourself when you carry out missions later, and how to continuously improve your strength."
"I will... but I'm a little confused." Kakashi looked at Akira Hatake with a serious expression, wanting an answer from his brother. "Why am I working so hard to carry out and complete missions?"
Looking down at his hands, Kakashi Hatake had never hated them so much; his hands were stained with too much blood that didn't belong to someone his age.
“Ming, I now find the profession of ninja disgusting. It turns people into mindless tools, directly or indirectly taking lives at will for the selfish interests of others…”
Akira Hatake expressed his understanding of Kakashi's disappointment, but this did not mean that he would completely reject a profession.
“You are very much like some of the people I remember…” Akira Hatake recalled his past life, “as unlikable as a saint.”
"The Holy Mother?" Kakashi asked, puzzled. "What does that mean?"
"What the Holy Mother means is that she is selfless and devoted to good deeds regardless of the specific circumstances." Akira Hatake shrugged. "It's one thing for the Holy Mother to die herself, but she always rambles on before she dies, and she also drags her teammates down with her to sacrifice."
"This..." Kakashi Hatake was speechless. "I was just lamenting that the Holy Mother and all that have absolutely nothing to do with me!"
“What you just said showed signs of being a saint.” Hatake Akira’s tone became slightly harsher. “A ninja is just a profession. Even if most of them become tools for missions, you can’t completely deny the profession because of its dark side.”
"But Father has already said that Konoha... is starting to fall ill..."
“But Father hasn’t given up his identity as a ninja, and he’s already trying to find a way to resolve the current predicament.” Akira Hatake smiled. “Don’t worry, Kakashi. Father has prepared for many things, and I’ve also given him a trump card that will be enough for him to handle the upcoming crisis.”
"A trump card?" Kakashi Hatake rolled his dead fish eyes. "You're hiding something from me, aren't you?!"
"It's just a tiny bit..." Akira Hatake smiled and casually made a hand gesture in front of Kakashi's eyes.
"Don't think too much right now. Just focus on improving your strength and completing your missions." He reached out and ruffled Kakashi's silver hair. "Your future is basically paved for you. You just need to work a little harder, and you can become the savior of Konoha!"
"A savior?" Kakashi looked up at the moon, then looked straight ahead towards the Hokage Rock of Konoha. "He really is an irresistible target!"
"And what about you, Akira?" Kakashi glanced at Akira. "I won't refuse your and Father's arrangements, but you should at least tell me a little about your future plans, right?"
"Me? It's simple..."
With a casual wave of his hand, Akira Hatake attached a purplish-red chakra chain to Kakashi Hatake's back, ignoring Kakashi's clothes and disappearing into Kakashi's body without causing any pain or discomfort.
"This is..." Kakashi Hatake clenched his fist, "I feel a power surging within me... Is it... the true ability you've been hiding all this time?!"
“Yes!” Akira Hatake nodded, then stretched out his palm. “As long as this dog leash stays with you, it can increase your total chakra reserves, chakra control, body speed, body reaction, and even the release of taijutsu and ninjutsu will have a considerable boost.”
"Akira, I feel like you're including me in your mind." Kakashi Hatake stared at Akira Hatake with his deadpan eyes. "A dog leash... shouldn't that be a word to describe this kind of ability?!"
"Who cares? All you need to know is that I'll be there for you from now on. You'll not only be able to defeat enemies of higher levels, but you'll also be able to easily break through your own limits."
Akira Hatake withdrew his hand, the purplish-red chakra chain disappeared, and a look of disappointment appeared on Kakashi Hatake's face.
The power he just experienced made Kakashi Hatake feel like he could easily defeat his previous self. This way of instantly boosting one's strength was too tempting and too addictive to resist.
Kakashi Hatake never stopped pursuing power.
He used to aspire to be a great ninja like Sakumo Hatake, but later he added the attribute of protecting Akira Hatake to his original intention. After learning about the infighting within Konoha, he now has some other motivations.
He will use the short sword in his hand to cut down those conspirators who are wantonly eroding the Will of Fire, and restore Konoha to its former vitality!
To achieve this, one's own strength is crucial, and Akira Hatake's special abilities are an indispensable part of it.
At this moment, Kakashi Hatake was somewhat impatient.
“Akira…no, brother! You should apply for graduation!” He reached out and grabbed Akira Hatake’s wrist. “If the two of us brothers work together, we can accumulate experience by carrying out missions and prepare for the future.”
"Getting envious?" Akira Hatake's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. "No way! I haven't had enough fun yet!"
"elder brother!"
"I'm telling you, it won't work!" Hatake Akira remained unmoved. "You little brat, what makes you think I'd chain you up with a dog leash?" There was a hint of disdain in his eyes. "If I'm going to chain you up, it should be someone of Jonin level or higher, right? Like my father, one of the Legendary Sannin, or the recently rising star Minato Namikaze."
"You...don't look down on me!" Kakashi Hatake's face flushed red. "I'm no worse than them!"
"You're not worse than them, but you're only a Chunin now..."
Akira Hatake was somewhat smug; he had already avenged the "damage" Kakashi had given him that morning by giving him a shot of adrenaline, and it hadn't even been overnight.
"So, you need to work hard." He patted Kakashi's shoulder hard. "Become a Jonin as soon as possible, then let me keep you by my side, and we'll make a name for ourselves in the ninja world together! And while we're at it, let's clean up the bad habits in Konoha."
"Just you wait, brother." Kakashi Hatake jumped off the roof. "I'll become a Jonin as fast as I can!"
"Where are you going so late?" Hatake asked knowingly.
"train!"
"Hahaha……"
A hearty laugh came from behind, and Kakashi Hatake gritted his teeth and vanished from the spot using a Body Flicker Technique.
Meanwhile, Akira Hatake lay leisurely on the roof, looking at the full moon above him, and couldn't help but cross his legs, feeling very comfortable!
You can win effortlessly while playing games; this kind of life is truly like that of a god.
Chapter 10: A Brand New Way to Skip Class.
The next morning, Akira Hatake yawned as he pushed open the door of the Hatake residence.
He didn't fall asleep until 1 a.m. last night, and if it weren't for Sakumo Hatake urging him, he would have skipped class again today.
Unfortunately, the allure of the purplish-red chain is simply too great; no main DPS player who wants to dominate the battlefield can resist it.
Although Kakashi Hatake is still in his developmental stage, he can't resist his desire to carry and show off, so he dragged Akira Hatake along as his sparring partner.
Of course, Akira Hatake only used a purplish-red chain to tether Kakashi Hatake; he didn't even consider any other sparring options.
Furthermore, Akira Hatake also showed Kakashi the golden chain that enhanced all-around defense, but the effect was far from ideal, and it even drew Kakashi's disdain at one point.
This infuriated Akira Hatake, who thought to himself that the ninjas in the Naruto world deserved to be a bunch of fragile assassins, easily killed with a single strike!
"elder brother."
Kakashi Hatake had no missions today, so after getting up early and finishing his morning exercise, he waited at the door for Akira Hatake, intending to take his older brother to school.
"Don't call me brother!" Akira Hatake rolled his eyes. "I get annoyed just looking at you."
"No, Akira!" Kakashi Hatake fawned over him, "I feel my strength is improving, and before long, we'll be able to join forces and make the Hatake family's name known far and wide!"
"Don't try to fool me, I'm not buying it." Akira Hatake still had a problem with Kakashi, but then he had a bad idea.
"If you promise me one thing... I can reluctantly agree to train with you for a while."
"Brother, you say it, I'll definitely agree!" Upon hearing Akira Hatake's words, Kakashi's dead fish eyes instantly lit up, and he pounded his chest with a thunderous sound.
"Take off your mask."
As soon as Akira finished speaking, Kakashi Hatake froze on the spot, scratching his head, somewhat at a loss.
"Brother, this...I..."
"Just tell me if you agree or not!" Akira Hatake glanced at him sideways. "If you don't agree, I'm leaving."
After saying that, Akira Hatake made a move to leave. After taking four or five steps, Kakashi Hatake's slightly unsure voice rang out behind him.
"I... I promise my brother."
what!
Although Akira Hatake didn't turn around, the corners of his mouth were already curled up wildly. Once he tasted the sweetness of the purple-red chain, he wouldn't be able to give it up easily!
"Come here, come here." Akira Hatake turned around and beckoned to Kakashi.
The latter felt uneasy upon hearing this. He saw a malicious look in Hatake Akira's eyes, which stirred up some memories that Kakashi didn't want to recall.
Whenever Akira Hatake shows this expression, it signifies the official start of "Kakashi's Ordeal".
Sure enough, when Kakashi approached, Akira Hatake ripped off his mask and, with a wicked grin, began to style Kakashi's hair.
A short knife on his back?
Pick them!
Ninja tool kit?
Confiscated! Confiscated!
coat?
Never mind, the two brothers are wearing the same thing...
In less than five minutes, all of Kakashi Hatake's equipment was transferred to Akira Hatake, and even the mask was put on Akira Hatake's face.
"Kakashi, doesn't it look like him?!" Akira Hatake asked happily, striking a few poses.
