Naruto: The Strongest Force

But he was still very concerned about Naruto.

The third generation took a puff of cigarette. Since Uchiha Natsuki appeared, the entire Uchiha clan has changed drastically.

The talents of the Hokage line are somewhat withered. His ineffective son is full of bad bones and can never be trained well.

The one with higher talent now is Hatake Kakashi.

The Third Hokage plans to train Kakashi more so that Kakashi can grow up quickly and be able to share some of the pressure with him in the future.

If only then, alas...

Sandai sighed inwardly.

Then he said to Kakashi: "Orochimaru has defected for a while, but he also left many research bases in Konoha."

"Anbu discovered an Orochimaru research base yesterday. Go check it out and see if you find anything."

"Yes!"

……

Outside Konoha Ninja School.

Sasuke walked in front with his pocket in his pocket, followed by Sakura, followed by Naruto and Hinata.

Naruto put his head in his hands and walked behind Sakura.

In this world, Naruto is much healthier physically and mentally, and he no longer has any admiration for Sakura, and they just have a normal relationship with each other.

On the contrary, Hinata who was following him was much closer to him.

"Sasuke, you are number one again, you are so awesome." Sakura praised Sasuke with a look of infatuation on her face.

Sasuke was very disgusted with this kind of girl, and he would hang around her like a fly every day.

No matter which route he took, girls would follow him. At first, there was a group of them, causing quite a commotion.

Later on, I don’t know whether they had discussed it or not, but they took different paths and became different girls.

Sasuke was very cold and didn't reply. He turned around and saw Naruto holding his head with his hands:

"Hey! Naruto, if you don't work harder, you're going to be the last one."

Naruto put down his arm: "You bastard Sasuke, this time it was just an accident. I will definitely do better than you in the exam next time."

Sasuke snorted arrogantly: "That's impossible, Uchiha is the strongest."

"Naruto, stop bragging. You're not even as good as Choji, so how can you be better than Sasuke?"

Hinata stood behind Naruto and whispered: "I believe in Naruto, he will definitely do well in the exam next time."

Naruto laughed happily after hearing this: "Look, Sakura, there are still people who believe in me."

Then he gave Hinata a thumbs up: "Hinata is the most discerning."

Hinata's face turned visibly red.

"Hey? Hinata, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red. Do you have a fever?"

Naruto approached Hinata carelessly and put his hand on Hinata's forehead.

Naruto is so close, what should I do, what should I do?

Hinata was shaking nervously and was about to faint.

"Stupid Naruto!" Sakura pulled Naruto over and stood next to Hinata.

If Naruto reaches out his hand, Hinata will faint. After all, this is not the first time.

"Ah, I'm not an idiot!" Naruto said dissatisfied.

A few people quickly got into a fuss.

What a youth, Natsuki sighed while standing on the tree, but saw Kakashi appear in his sight.

"Hey, Naruto, you're here." Kakashi was fully armed and seemed to be going on a mission.

It's really hard work to come over and say hello to make your presence felt like this.

"Brother Kakashi, are you going on a mission?" Naruto waved happily. He had very few friends, and besides, he took the initiative to get to know him.

So I have a good impression of Kakashi.

"Ah, I have a mission. I have to go and do some work. I'll treat you to ramen another day." After saying that, Kakashi left in a hurry.

"That person seems to be Kakashi." Sakura said with a surprised look on her face.

"Naruto, how do you know him?" Sakura said in disbelief.

"Huh?" Naruto looked confused.

"You mean Brother Kakashi."

Naruto said doubtfully:

"I met him at Ichiraku Ramen. We became close after running into each other a few times. He even said he wanted to be friends with me."

"Do you know what Kakashi represents?" Sakura pulled Naruto's clothes and shook them.

"No, I don't know."

Seeing Naruto still had an innocent look on his face.

Sakura said in the direction where Kakashi disappeared:

"That's Hatake Kakashi, a super genius. He graduated from the Ninja School when Kakashi-senpai was only 5 years old."

Huh!? Sasuke's eyes were immediately drawn to it.

At this age, they have just started school, while others have already graduated.

"Hey!?" Naruto was shocked!

"Is Brother Kakashi so strong!?"

"He never said that!" Naruto was also surprised.

Sakura rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.

……

Chapter 41 Rescue

Kakashi moved forward and soon arrived at a secret place in the Konoha Forest.

There is a burrow here that is very difficult to detect.

Kakashi looked around and jumped down.

After a moment, another person dressed as an ANBU wearing a cat mask jumped down. He was not tall and very young.

Soon there was a rumbling sound below.

Xia Mu walked to the entrance of the cave and touched his chin.

The person who just went down seems to be Yamato? Oh, he seems to be called A now.

Did Danzo still send him out to dig out Kakashi's eyes?

I really don’t know if Danzo is confident or if his brain is not working well.

Or are you superstitious about Yamato Wood Release?

Suddenly, Xia Mu noticed something and jumped onto the tree.

Swish swish, the three roots reached the hole.

Two of them hid themselves and the other jumped.

No wonder, Danzo still has backup, surveillance, and substitutes. If A fails to complete the task, there will be others.

……

"The mission is not everything. If the mission is to kill your companions, this mission is wrong."

"Kakashi who killed his companions deserves to be called that, but ah, I don't... don't want to kill Rin at all!

"I failed to protect my companions, so Lin died. I failed to protect her with this Chidori, failed to protect her..."

"A, please give up your mission."

"People with roots seem to be indoctrinated into giving up all emotions."

"It's not just feelings, give up names, past and future, and live just to complete the task."

"I'm your enemy. Even if you don't save me, it's natural."

……

Xia Mu waited for a while, and the members of the root army who were following A came out first, pretending to be waiting for him at the door.

After a while, A jumped out.

A took out an eyeball soaked in a jar, and the two of them communicated with each other.

Xia Mu was very familiar with this plot, and Kakashi had already conquered Jia.

Jia forged a fake Sharingan and went back to report to Danzo.

Afterwards, Kakashi and the Third Hokage entered the Root and forcefully took out Kabuto, changing his name to Tenzo.

Later, after the battle to recapture the Kazekage, "Yamato" was used as the code name for the mission, and everyone got used to calling him Yamato.

"How dare you lie!"

A loud shout brought Xia Mu back from his thoughts. How come it was found to be fake here?

"Do it!" The other three roots jumped out.

"Sure enough, Danzo-sama doesn't trust me." Kaoru murmured.

A did not resist at all and allowed one of the men to tie him up.

The other three jumped into the cave, probably to look for Kakashi.

"A, why did you lie?"

A's dead eyes showed no emotion, he just asked in a depressed tone:

"Yi, I am increasingly confused about the meaning of this mission to kill my companions, so I gave up the mission."

B was furious: "Danzo-sama, who is in charge of the roots, has the mission of everything!"

"Brother Kakashi is also a Konoha ninja and a companion of Konoha. Is it really okay to kill his companion?"

B pushed A to the ground and said:

"Remember this, the only people you can consider as your companions are us, fellow members of the Root Organization!"

A gritted his teeth and said:

"Isn't the Root on Konoha's side?"

B's expression is as if he is on a pilgrimage:

"The roots are invisible underground, silently supporting the great tree of Konoha. Just like a great tree is divided into the above-ground and underground parts, the roots exist independently."

"The so-called root ninja is nameless, emotionless, without past or future, and only has tasks in his eyes."

A suddenly struggled violently:

"No! I am a ninja of Konoha! I don't just belong to the root, I am a ninja of the entire Konoha, with branches and leaves! All Konoha ninjas are my companions!"

B looked at A with cold eyes:

"Who on earth has bewitched you? I'm going to take you back and let Lord Danzo brainwash you again!"

"Oh, of course Danzo confused him!"

A long voice came over.

"Who!" B broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't even know someone was approaching him.

"Uh!..." Before B could turn around, he felt a pain in his head and instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Get up."
