The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

This visit is passive, not active!

That's why Kakashi looked so guilty when he talked about it just now.

Because his real purpose is to "seek refuge"!

Cang Si also realized that there must be some hidden reason why Kakashi came to visit him today. However, since the other party was not prepared to say it, he would not break the casserole to get to the bottom of it.

Seeing that Cang Si had no intention of asking further questions, Kakashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Kakashi, since you came here today, there is something I want to tell you and ask about your wishes." Cang Si's voice suddenly rang in Kakashi's ears.

"Ah? Senior, what's the matter?" Kakashi was obviously stunned by Cang Si's words, and he asked back subconsciously.

“I am planning to go to the Fire Country Daimyo Castle to visit Senior Sakumo in the next few days, so I wanted to ask you if you want to go with me.

I guess you haven't seen your father for a while?

If we have time, we can go there together."

Cang Si had no intention of hiding anything and directly stated his purpose.

"Senior, are you going to Daimyo Castle to visit my father?" What Cang Si said was obviously beyond Kakashi's expectations.

It could even be said that he was already prepared for his senior to play a prank on him, but he didn't expect it to be such a formal thing.

"That's right!" Cang Si confirmed his answer again.

Kakashi thought for a moment and nodded.

Just like Souji said, Kakashi hadn't seen his father for a year or two, and most of the time, the two sides only communicated through letters.

It was fine before Cang Si mentioned this matter, but now that he mentioned it, to be honest, he really missed his father a little.

In addition, he had basically mastered the swordsmanship his father taught him last time, so it was time to start learning new swordsmanship.

That’s right, because Hatake Sakumo is not dead in this life, Kakashi has never given up on swordsmanship!

Therefore, compared to the same period in the original work, Kakashi's current strength is definitely stronger!

If he could make a breakthrough in swordsmanship, he could become a Kage-level warrior at any time.

Moreover, this is without the help of the Sharingan!

If the Sharingan is taken into account, Kakashi can now challenge the Kage-level strongmen and will not be defeated in a short time.

If you encounter a weaker shadow, it is not impossible to defeat the strong with the weak.

Given the characteristics of ninja's high attack and paper defense, there is no saying that a strong person can definitely defeat a weak person, it's just that the probability of failure is smaller.

To use a realm from fantasy novels to evaluate Kakashi today, it is a different kind of enlightenment!

Ahem, but this is just a description.

But in general, Kakashi's current strength is definitely not weak.

“Senior Cang Si, I will talk to the Hokage and ask him to grant me a few more days of vacation, and then we can go to Daimyo Castle together.

So, when are we leaving?"

After Cang Si brought up this matter, Kakashi suddenly became more anxious than Cang Si.

His swordsmanship has now reached a bottleneck. It is time for him to seek guidance from his father and seek a breakthrough.

So, whether it is out of emotional considerations or to improve his own strength, this trip to Daimyo Castle is very important to Kakashi.

, is very necessary.

It just so happened that Souji was willing to go with them, which made Kakashi even more anxious.

"As long as your leave is approved, we can set off at any time." Cang Si said with a smile.

"Senior, are you sure? Aren't you the Minister of Education? Can you just put down your work and leave Konoha with me without asking for leave?" Kakashi raised his question.

Cang Si: “…”

Well, Kakashi’s question can be said to have hit the nail on the head, leaving Cang Si speechless.

He almost forgot that he was considered a quasi-high-ranking official in Konoha, but he couldn't just leave Konoha and go to Daimyo Castle without saying a word.

Besides, Cang Si was actually supposed to go to work today, but he was slacking off.

As the head of the Ministry of Education, Cang Si initially came to school late and left early, but later he would show up once a day and then go home to lie down.

Next, I can go to work occasionally depending on my mood, and I can skip work at any time.

Finally, up to now, as long as the subordinates in the Ministry of Education did not come to ask him for advice, the Third Hokage did not call him back to work, or convene a ministerial meeting, Souji would never go to work.

In response to this situation, I don’t know how many times the directors of other departments have reported it to the Third Hokage.

But unfortunately, with Cang Si in charge, the Ministry of Education not only did not have any trouble, but everything was developing in an orderly manner and thriving. ..

Therefore, the Third Hokage chose to turn a blind eye to Souji's slacking behavior.

The other department heads who have to work diligently every day are extremely envious of this.

Unfortunately, they do not have the ability and mentality of Cang Si, and can only go to work every day, work overtime at night, and struggle for a living.

In fact, as the ministers of various departments, they don’t have to live such a hard life. Many things can be assigned to the people below to complete.

However, some people only have so much ability, and once they are not around, the people under them will cause all kinds of trouble.

Some people enjoy this right and are unwilling to let it go.

Others simply enjoy their work, that's all.

Relatively speaking, people like Cang Si are the outliers among the outliers.

This is also one of the reasons why the Third Hokage felt that Souji was not greedy for power and was very confident in him.

In addition, Cang Si also went out more often under the alias of Mizunotsuki Jin, and each time he did it secretly without asking for leave.

So when it was his turn to take action, he subconsciously forgot that with his current status as a quasi-high-ranking official in Konoha, he could not leave the village so casually.

This is probably the only reason why Cang Si hates being the Minister of Education.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he could actually go out freely without having to worry about the rules of the Hyuga clan's main family.

But now his freedom of movement has been restricted, which makes Cang Si very unhappy.

It’s a good thing that he can use a pseudonym to go out normally, otherwise, Cang Si would have lost his position as Minister of Education long ago!

"Hey, Kakashi, let's go." Standing up helplessly, Cang Si said to Kakashi beside him.

"Ah? Senior Cang Si, where are you going?" Kakashi hadn't yet reacted to what Cang Si was going to do.

"Is there any need to ask? Of course we should go to the Hokage's office building! It just so happens that we can go together to ask the Hokage for a few days off." As he said this, Cang Si rolled his eyes.

Kakashi reminded him that he had to ask for leave if he wanted to go out, which reminded Souji of the sad things.

"Um, how about, Senior, should we wait a little longer?" Kakashi said a little hesitantly.

He has just arrived at his senior's house not long ago, and he doesn't know if he will meet that energetic guy Might Guy when he goes out.

If you encounter it, you will inevitably be pestered into a competition.

In this regard, at least today, Kakashi refused!

Cang Si thought about it and felt that it was indeed very rude to ask Kakashi to leave with him after just a short visit.

So, he sat down again and asked Kakashi to chat with him.

Chapter 627: Meeting Hatake Sakumo Again

It wasn't until about an hour later that Souji and Kakashi walked out of the house and headed towards the Hokage's office building.

Interestingly, when Kakashi just left Souji's house, he looked around carefully along the way.

If you didn’t know him, you would think Kakashi was trying to steal something from him!

Regarding this, Cang Si had a lot of question marks on his head.

However, he also realized that Kakashi was probably avoiding something.

"It turns out that Kakashi treats my house as a refuge!" Cang Si thought speechlessly in his heart.

What made Kakashi feel lucky was that after he stayed in Souji's house for so long, he did not see Might Guy, the idiot obsessed with youth, again after he came out.

This also made him relieved.

Afterwards, the two of them walked all the way to the Hokage's office building. Nothing unexpected happened, and Might Guy, who Kakashi was worried about, did not suddenly run out.

Souji and Kakashi's request for leave went quite smoothly, and the Third Hokage did not make things difficult for them.

Anyway, whether Souji is in the village or not, he is just slacking off. Even if he is not in Konoha in the short term, there will be no trouble in the Education Department.

As for Kakashi, after he joined the Anbu, the Third Hokage saw how desperate he was.

It's rare for people to ask for leave now, so why wouldn't we approve it?

Besides, both Soji and Kakashi clearly stated the reason for their leave, which was to go to Daimyo Castle to visit Hatake Sakumo. The Third Hokage had no reason to refuse.

The Third Hokage actually always felt quite sorry for Hatake Sakumo.

Although the rumors were initially spread by Danzo behind the scenes, he did not stop them and even took a tacit attitude.

This eventually led to Hatake Sakumo becoming disillusioned with the village, so he left Konoha and stayed in Daimyo Castle, never to return.

Therefore, generally speaking, as long as it was related to Hatake Sakumo, the Third Hokage would give the green light all the way out of his guilt as long as it was not too excessive.

If Souji had just said that he was going to Daimyo Castle to find Hatake Sakumo, the Third Hokage might have asked him the reason.

But with Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo's biological son, there will be no problem at all.

It can be said that Kakashi's visit to his house today to avoid trouble was also a good reason for Souji to go to the Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire openly.

This is really like giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy!

What Kakashi didn't know was that at this moment, he had been used as a tool by Souji...

After asking for leave, Souji just went to the Ministry of Education to explain some things, then left Konoha with Kakashi and set out on the journey to the Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire.

For a moment, Souji and Kakashi were walking towards Daimyo Castle together, while Shisui and Orochimaru on the other side were also heading for Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire!

In the near future, it is estimated that the Daimyo Castle in the Fire Country will be very "lively"!

"Senior, why did you suddenly want to meet my father?" Kakashi asked puzzledly on the way.

For some reason, he always felt that his senior's actions today were too sudden!

He even once suspected that Might Guy was arranged by his senior in order to force him into his senior's home.

This doubt arises because when Souji asked for leave from the Third Hokage just now, he almost used Kakashi as an excuse.

And Kakashi is not a fool. Although he didn't point it out at the time, he still felt that there was a problem after thinking about it later.

So I asked at this time.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Cang Si smiled and asked jokingly.

"Need I say more?" Kakashi rolled his eyes out of habit.

"The lie is that it's too boring to stay in the village. I want to go out for a walk." When Cang Si said this, it was almost as if the words 'I want to slack off' were written on his face!

It just so happened that Kakashi during his Anbu period was an absolute workaholic, and Souji's attitude of slacking off made him speechless.

"What about the truth?" Kakashi sighed and opened his mouth again.

Mouth asked.

"The truth is, I received news that there will be a big disturbance in Daimyo Castle in the near future. Just in case, we have to protect the Daimyo's safety." Cang Si directly revealed some of the information to Kakashi.

Sure enough, after hearing what Cang Si said, Kakashi's originally dead fish eyes suddenly shrank.

"Senior Cang Si, are you serious?" Kakashi asked in shock.

"Who knows? It's because I'm not sure that I want to go there in person." Cang Si shrugged with a relaxed look on his face.

Here, Cang Si did not tell the truth, mainly because it involved Orochimaru and Shisui, and Cang Si did not want to let others get involved.

Kakashi did not doubt what Soji said. Although he knew that his senior was usually unreliable and liked to play tricks on the juniors, he never failed to deliver on his promises when it came to crucial matters.

So, after hearing what Cang Si said, a look of worry appeared on his face.

"Don't worry. Don't forget that your father is still in the Fire Country's Daimyo Castle. With the two of us, those who want to make small moves won't be able to make any waves.

Oh, and by the way, isn’t one of your good friends, the Hokage’s son, Asuma Sarutobi, also serving as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas beside the Daimyo?
