In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 111 The Shock of Class 8

P.S.: Title is incorrect, it should be "The Shock of Class 8".

"To be honest, they really caused me a lot of trouble this time. Well... none of that matters anymore."

At this point, Kakashi narrowed his exposed right eye, looked at Kurenai with a serious expression, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still remember Fujiwara Chiya?"

The crimson-haired woman clutched her chest, her head bowed in despair, her beautiful eyes filled with bewilderment and sorrow. "What's the use of telling me all this now? He's dead."

"No, he's still alive," Kakashi interrupted her.

"How is this possible? You clearly..." Kurenai Yuhi exclaimed in horror, her jade-like hand clutching her chest tightening as she grasped the ring that Chiyo had left behind.

A long-forgotten memory suddenly surfaced in her mind.

In a daze, she saw Qianye.

That night, before he left, he left himself this ring.

So, he really was alive.

But why did he leave without saying goodbye in the first place?

Kakashi had no idea that his words would dispel the genjutsu that Chiya had placed in Kurenai's mind.

He continued, "Although I don't know how he did it, this time, I really, truly saw him in person."

Furthermore, he used the same trick again to deceive me, making me mistakenly believe that I had killed the ice-style ninja next to Zabuza.

In reality, it was merely a shadow clone created by his illusion magic.

"Why doesn't Chiya go back to the village?" Kurenai asked the same question she had asked Kakashi back then.

She still refuses to believe that Chiya is the murderer who slaughtered the Sarutobi and Shimura clans.

Kakashi sighed softly, "I've asked him the same question before. But his answer might be beyond your imagination or even your comprehension, because it involves too many people and things, and I can't tell you directly."

"However, I can tell you directly and with certainty that Chiyo has become a rogue ninja, and he himself has admitted to personally annihilating the Sarutobi and Shimura clans."

"Furthermore, he also harbors considerable resentment towards Konoha, or more precisely, towards the Konoha leadership, to the point that he wishes he could kill them."

"He is no longer the Qianye he once was, or perhaps this is who he always was, and we have never truly seen through him."

"Of course, that's not the worst part. After all, there are many people who want to overthrow Konoha, but they just can't do it."

"But Chiya is different. With his current strength, he certainly has the qualifications to overthrow Konoha. And he also seems to have joined some mysterious organization."

"Such a person is far too dangerous for Konoha right now. I hope that if you see him again next time, you will be mentally prepared."

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi fell silent.

Now she is facing a difficult choice: on one hand, there is Konoha, which she grew up with and vowed to protect.

On the other hand, there was her student whom she cherished deeply, whom she once thought was dead, and with whom she developed a relationship that went beyond that of teacher and student.

Just as Kurenai was struggling with her decision, three people walked in from outside the shop.

They all looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, two boys and one girl.

No, to be precise, it was two men, one woman, and one dog.

Standing in the center position was a young man wearing a gray and white fur coat even in the middle of summer.

A small white dog is perched on its head.

Black vertical pupils, protruding canine teeth, and red stripes on his face give him a wild look.

Behind him on his left was the only woman among the three.

She had short, light purple hair that reached her ears, pure white eyes, and a beautiful face. Her clothing was very conservative. She avoided eye contact, giving off the impression of a shy girl next door.

As for the last person, he was rather ordinary; he was the least noticeable of the three.

His attire was even more extravagant than the previous two, almost entirely covered by a robe. Even his eyes were obscured by sunglasses, giving him an air of aloofness.

These three people and one dog are the current members of Team 8, the genin of Konoha: Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka's ninja beast, Akamaru.

"Oh, teacher! Kakashi-sensei is here too. I just heard you guys talking about Chiyo-ya. Who is he?" Kiba Inuzuka led Hinata and Chino into the dango shop in a carefree manner.

Akamaru, seemingly curious as well, barked a few times, "Woof woof woof."

Before Kurenai and Kakashi could speak, Shino Aburame, who was the least noticeable among them, answered: "Chiya, full name Fujiwara Chiya, was an excellent student during his time at the Ninja Academy. He graduated from the Ninja Academy a year early in 1954 and was later promoted to Genin. He joined the team that Kurenai-sensei was in at the time, which is the First Hokage's Team 8."

"Konoha year 54, isn't that the year we first entered the academy?" Kiba looked at Shino with some surprise.

Hinata lowered her head, a fleeting hint of melancholy passing through her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.

Shino nodded and continued, "Then, in less than a year, he passed the special exam set by the Hokage, skipping the Chunin and Special Jonin levels, and became the first ninja in Konoha's history to be promoted to Jonin before he was even twelve years old."

"How is it possible for a Jonin to be under twelve years old?" Kiba stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kakashi's eyes as he looked at Shino with some astonishment and asked, "So besides these, what else do you know?"

"A year after becoming a Jonin, he became an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha for allegedly murdering the Sarutobi and Shimura clans." Shino's words were astonishing.

"An S-rank rogue ninja, thirteen years old, who massacred the Sarutobi and Shimura clans. He was about the same age as us back then. How did he manage to do that?" Hearing Shino's words, Kiba, who was always fearless, felt fear for the first time in his life.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Chiyo's ruthlessness. After all, who among the ninjas hasn't killed a few people?

What he feared was Qianye's strength and talent.

Regardless of whether it's true or not that the other party massacred the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, the fact that he was promoted to Jonin at less than twelve years old is astonishing enough.

This caused Kiba, who was always very confident in his strength and extremely arrogant, and who aspired to become Hokage, to experience a great sense of disappointment.

He suddenly began to doubt his life. Even someone like him couldn't become Hokage, so could he really do it?

Kakashi ignored Kiba's surprise, narrowed his eyes, and continued to ask Shino, "This isn't something a genin should know. Where did you hear this from?"

"Through observation, there's also this."

Shino took out a ninja manual from his pocket, which listed a series of Konoha or non-Konoha rogue ninjas.

The range is from D to S.

Kiba snatched the manual from Shino's hand, flipped through it, and exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many powerful guys in here! Huh, Uchiha... there's even a member of Sasuke's clan, and he's an S-rank rogue ninja too!"
