Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 341 People Change

It was the same roadside stall, and it was still Kakashi, Obito, and Rin.

Okay, this time there's also a little blond guy.

"I say, Minato-sensei..." Obito looked at Minato Namikaze with his deadpan eyes, "Why are you, a dignified elite Jonin, following us kids?"

Minato Namikaze coughed, "Um, I was just passing by... Um, boss! Two bowls of fish ball noodles, please!"

"Okay~"

Obito glanced at Minato Namikaze, then snorted and looked at Kakashi and Rin: "Kakashi, Rin, let's go, let's get out of here! Sensei, you said you were just passing by, you can't possibly follow us now, can you?"

Minato Namikaze immediately backed down: "No, no, no, Obito, sit down, sit down. Well, teacher was really curious about what you wanted to talk about, that's why I came."

"Okay, this meal is on the teacher! How about that?"

Obito looked at Minato Namikaze suspiciously, but when he heard Minato say he would treat him, Obito's eyes lit up.

"Okay! Teacher, you can't go back on your word! Boss, two bowls of 'Family Reunion' soup noodles, please!"

Lin timidly raised her hand: "I, I only need one bowl."

Kakashi glanced at the two of them sideways and sighed.

After that, Obito looked at Kakashi and asked, "How's it going with the Anbu? Are you having a good time?"

Kakashi shook his head.

Obito immediately panicked: "Unhappy? If you're unhappy, then what are you still doing there?!"

Kakashi thought for a moment and then asked Obito, "Were you told to come and ask me this, or did you ask it yourself?"

Obito was taken aback for a moment, then said matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's something I want to know myself."

Kakashi: "..."

Okay, I really shouldn't have expected an idiot like you to know even a little bit about politics.

Kakashi looked at Obito and said, "You should know that my trip to the Anbu won't last long, right?"

Obito was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "What?! Why?! Didn't you leave? How come you can come back?"

After saying that, Obito looked at Rin and shook his head, saying, "I could have spent some time alone with Rin."

Rin Nohara smiled, completely unfazed by Obito's teasing.

Yes, often the truth is actually spoken in this joking tone.

Obito didn't know when he fell in love with Rin.

But anyway, now he's fallen in love with it.

It just goes to show that love is a truly wondrous thing; you don't need any reason to fall in love with someone.

Kakashi ignored Obito's antics—what he assumed—and continued, "The Hokage hasn't sent any replacements to our team, doesn't that mean I won't be gone for long?"

Obito was taken aback: "Is that so?"

After thinking for a moment, Obito added, "Is it possible that there isn't a suitable candidate available at the moment?"

Kakashi: "..."

You fucking really want me to leave our team?!

Minato Namikaze glanced at Kakashi and sighed inwardly.

It's astonishing that the son has such political acumen.

But why doesn't the father have one?

Yes, Kakashi was right. Yua had no intention of letting Kakashi leave for too long.

They weren't planning to strip Sakumo Hatake of his entire career.

Why did Hatake Sakumo tell Uchiha Kagami about the location of the new power plant that Yuya already had a registration for?

Because Uchiha Kagami asked him for help.

Why did he give it to Uchiha Kagami when Kagami asked him for it?

Well, the reason is more complicated.

When Hatake Sakumo first joined the Anbu, he went directly to work under Uchiha Kagami.

He had done wrong things and had been punished by Yuya, but Uchiha Kagami had always been teaching him.

Once, he abandoned a mission for his comrades. Although Yua did not blame him, and no ninja reprimanded him, Yua had long said that life is the most important thing, and the first priority when going out to do any mission is to protect yourself.

Since Hatake Sakumo rescued the person, he naturally won't be blamed.

However, Sakumo Hatake himself got stuck in a rut.

It was only after Uchiha Kagami personally went over and gave Sakumo Hatake some advice that he was able to cheer up.

It is no exaggeration to say that Uchiha Kagami was Sakumo Hatake's mentor.

So Sakumo Hatake helped Kagami Uchiha with this favor.

He genuinely didn't think about the political aspects of this incident.

Even if you say he's really stupid, he could never have really held onto his position as head of the secret service.

But faced with Uchiha Kagami's request...

It is a fact that he did not refuse.

……

While Sakumo Hatake was lounging at home, an unexpected person came to his house.

Nara deer.

Simply put, the Nara deer were also sent on Yua's orders.

Youya's meaning was simple: if you apologize this time, I can save face, and we can let this matter go.

Sakumo Hatake looked at Shikaya Nara with a bewildered expression: "What did I do wrong that I need to apologize for?"

Nara Shikaya: "..."

It's beyond saving, just bury it.

And so, the Nara deer also left.

You Ya sighed. There were some things he really didn't want to say too explicitly, but...

It's definitely not okay not to make it very clear.

Therefore, Yuya wanted Tsunade to take action.

Tsunade said, "I'm sure I can handle this. I was the one who saved Sakumo Hatake's wife back then!"

However, what was unexpected was that Sakumo Hatake himself realized what was happening...

……

In the evening, Kakashi went home; he didn't really have anything to do at the Anbu.

The Anbu of today is not the Anbu in the manga where even a child is exploited as labor.

Each department of the Anbu now has its own responsibilities. Kakashi was thrown here by Yua without being assigned to a specific department, and these Anbu guys understood that.

This is just a short stay; we'll be leaving after that.

As a result, no one paid any attention to Kakashi.

Kakashi was feeling down. Being ignored for a week and having to sit there unable to move around freely would be unpleasant for anyone.

So Kakashi went to his father and said, "Dad, go apologize to the Hokage."

Sakumo Hatake was even more confused: "I haven't done anything wrong, so why do they all want me to apologize?"

Kakashi was speechless, but still asked, "Dad, you gave him that information this time because you listened to Grandpa Kagami, right?"

Sakumo Hatake nodded.

"Was it with the Hokage's permission?"

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Hatake Sakumo.

Ok……

He realized where he went wrong...

Sakumo Hatake slapped his forehead: "So this is where it is."

The main reason is that in the past, Sakumo Hatake never needed to go through Yua when accepting missions from Kagami Uchiha.

That's how he got used to it.

But this time...

Uchiha Kagami has been removed from his position as department head by Yua. He is now the department head and only needs to report to Yua.

Then things can't go on like they used to...

Once you understand something, it becomes simple.

Then it's easy to win them back.

the next day.

Looking at Sakumo Hatake kneeling at the foot of the Hokage's office building, Yua's lips curled up, but he said, "No one is allowed to help him up!"

Let him think carefully about what he did wrong!

Tsk, as expected, people eventually become the kind of person they hate...
