Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Is it really okay to give a book like this to a 5-year-old?

Jiraiya, you're courting death.

Aren't you afraid that Sakumo will come back and find out about this and kill you?

......

Chapter 94 System Mission Arrives

Kagura opened her mouth as she looked at the gift Jiraiya had given her, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

He watched as the naive Kakashi solemnly put away the book, then glanced at Kakashi's mother, who was still completely unaware of what was happening.

After thinking for a while, Kagura decided not to remind these people.

After all, if Kagura were to reveal the truth on the spot, this seemingly weak mother would probably lash out and teach Jiraiya, that unreliable guy, a lesson.

Just then, Kagura spotted a striking green figure in the crowd.

Upon closer inspection, two conspicuous watermelon-shaped heads came into view.

He paused for a moment, then exchanged a few pleasantries with the crowd before walking over there.

These two almost identical father and son, dressed in green bodysuits and sporting watermelon-shaped haircuts, are none other than Might Day and Might Kay.

Might Guy was standing in a corner of the school, looking at Kakashi not far away with some envy.

In fact, Might Guy and Kakashi have been friends since childhood.

Unlike Kakashi, who was hailed as a genius, Guy at this time was just an ordinary person who was looked down upon, just like his father.

Seeing Kakashi, who was about the same age as him, successfully graduate from school, while he was still studying in school, Guy felt a sense of envy and loneliness.

Just as Kagura approached with Chiyu in her arms, she overheard Might Day encouraging his son:

Don't be discouraged!

Keep up the good work, my child!

As your father, I believe you can create your own miracle!

"Hey!

Father!

I will keep working hard!

"Very good, let's begin now."

Today we're going to run 50 laps around Konoha Village!

"Yes, Father!"

Ah~~~~

I feel like my youth is about to ignite!

In this passionate atmosphere, the father and son encouraged each other and headed out of Konoha Village.

Kagura, who had just approached to strike up a conversation, twitched her lips but ultimately lowered her outstretched right hand, watching the father and son, who seemed to be burning with flames, walk away.

Speaking of which, Might Guy, who used to be his classmate, is still a genin.

After failing the Chunin Exams multiple times, Might Guy gave up on the idea of ​​becoming a Chunin.

But this does not mean that he gave up his dream of becoming a ninja.

Not only did he not give up honing his physical skills, he even passed on this willpower to his children.

Although many people in Konoha Village look down on this "perennial genin", Kagura is definitely not one of them.

Kagura knew very well how powerful these two somewhat strange father and son were in the original story.

If it weren't for his appearance, the one who would have truly wiped out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in the original story was the "eternal genin" Might Guy.

As Kagura watched the father and son leave with a heavy heart, just as she was about to turn back to look for Jiraiya, a sound suddenly rang in her mind.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Kagura froze on the spot, for it was the voice of the system quest that hadn't appeared for a long time.

Just as he was about to check the system tasks in his mind, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Kagura frowned slightly upon seeing the somewhat familiar mask on the person's face.

You should know that every time they need to use the secret service to find you, it means it's not an easy task.

Before Kagura could speak, the ANBU member spoke up:

"Lord Kagura, the Hokage has ordered you to go to the Hokage Building immediately."

After saying that, he disappeared from Kagura's sight again without waiting for her response.

Upon seeing this, Kagura couldn't help but frown.

Without much thought, he immediately found Jiraiya, entrusted Chiyu to him, and then rushed towards the Hokage Building.

While traveling, Kagura explored her mind.

Upon seeing the task in his mind, his expression changed.

The task at hand was something he hadn't anticipated.

"Mission objective: Rescue Sakumo Hatake, bring him safely back to Konoha Village, and prevent him from committing suicide."

Task Reward: Allows you to increase the progress of one of your own attributes by 30%.

Kagura never expected that the incident involving Sakumo Hatake would appear so suddenly.

But in my memory, shouldn't the mission that influenced Sakumo Hatake and led to his suicide have happened in Konoha 45?

But it's only Konoha year 43 now?

However, Kagura understood after a short while.

It seems that because of my existence as a butterfly, the mission that led to Sakumo Hatake's suicide was brought forward.

But...

Thinking about this, Kagura felt a sense of unease.

Yes, something's not right.

It's important to understand that many things in this world are still happening according to the inertia of the original timeline.

But based on Kagura's experience over the years, it's more about relationships between people than about any particular event.

Simply put, just like Jiraiya and Yahiko, even though Kagura changed the fate of the Land of Rain a lot, Yahiko would still become Jiraiya's disciple.

For example, the relationship between Minato and Kushina.

However, events can be easily changed.

Although the original storyline did not explain the specifics of the mission that led to Sakumo's suicide, Kagura could understand it if it happened in Konoha 45.

But now it has happened ahead of schedule in Konoha 43, so it is very likely that it is not the same mission as in the original story.

Does this mean that Shuo Mao was destined to encounter this calamity?

But is this really a coincidence arranged by fate?

Thinking of this, Kagura's face darkened, and the unease in her heart grew stronger.

Regardless, his most important task now is to get to the Hokage Building as soon as possible to see Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Kagura had a premonition that the reason Sarutobi was summoning her so urgently was probably because of Sakumo Hatake.

Without being stopped by anyone, Kagura rushed into the Hokage Building and arrived at the Hokage's office.

Gently pushing open the door, three familiar figures appeared before Kagura.

When Kagura saw that besides Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were also present, her heart sank.

As high-ranking officials in Konoha and the administrators of the entire village, these three rarely appear together on ordinary days.

The fact that they are all here together now also illustrates the seriousness of the matter.

Without much preamble, after Kagura had learned the basics, Hiruzen Sarutobi handed him a scroll and said:

"Take a look first, and then we'll talk."

Kagura opened the scroll directly and silently examined the information on it.

As she watched, Kagura's face darkened completely.

After a few minutes, Kagura closed the scroll and took a deep breath.

He then looked at the three people in front of him with a hint of anger and said in a low voice:

"I think you should explain this to me first?"

Chapter 95 A Qualified Hokage

Just as Kagura had guessed, the scroll described the mission that Sakumo Hatake was carrying out.

Kagura only glanced at it briefly before noticing the problem.

Sakumo Hatake, the "White Fang" of Konoha, is a man with half a Hokage's sleeve.

Although Kagura is undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation in Konoha, if it were to be said who is the second in Konoha, the ninjas of Konoha would definitely say the name of Hatake Sakumo.

In fact, if it weren't for Kagura, Sakumo Hatake would have been the most dazzling ninja of Konoha in this era.

Leaving aside the possibility of his mission failing, such a being...

However, in Kagura's opinion, unless he encountered someone like Madara Uchiha, Sakumo wouldn't have fallen so low as to need someone to rescue him just to carry out a mission.

After reading the contents of the scroll, Kagura finally understood the reason.

This is because these Konoha high-ranking officials deliberately concealed some information about the mission when assigning Sakumo to carry it out!

Of course, this truth was not written down accurately on that scroll.

However, based on Kagura's understanding of Sakumo's personality, and looking at the records on the scroll about his leadership of this operation...

Kagura could easily deduce that Sakumo had no idea how dangerous the mission was before it began.
