The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

With his help in the investigation, we should be able to find the guy behind the scenes soon."

Seeing Kakashi's serious expression, Cang Si patted his shoulder comfortingly and said.

Then, before Kakashi could react, Souji's right hand quickly moved up and stroked Kakashi's white hair again.

This made Kakashi, who already had a look of sadness on his face, roll his eyes again.

"Senior, I'm already this old, you're going too far!" Kakashi dodged to the side firmly, allowing Cang Si's action of stroking the white hair to last less than three seconds before it failed again.

This made him feel a pity.

Kakashi is now a young man in his early 20s. It is not easy for Cangsi to stroke Kakashi's white hair as he did in the past.

Today, while Kakashi was worried about other things, I just "naturally" got it again.

Seeing Kakashi's resistance, Cang Si took his hand back without blushing, his heart beating, or panting, without feeling embarrassed or awkward at all.

However, it was precisely because of Souji's interruption that Kakashi felt a lot more relaxed.

Just like what the senior said, if we count the two of them, the daimyo’s surrounding high-end combat power is definitely not few, so I think the daimyo’s personal safety should be guaranteed.

"Ahem, so, let's discuss it first. After we arrive at Daimyo Castle, we will secretly investigate the people around Daimyo. It would be much more appropriate for you to do this." Cang Si pretended to cough, as if to skip the incident of stroking Kakashi's white hair just now.

Kakashi was also helpless. This senior was always so frivolous and he could easily be led astray by him.

Now that there were important matters to discuss, Kakashi no longer dwelled on what had just happened, but discussed the next countermeasures with Cang Si.

"Senior, are you saying that the person who is planning to cause trouble in Daimyo Castle is right next to the Daimyo?" Kakashi, who had originally been relieved, couldn't help but widen his pupils again when he heard this.

This news is a bit too explosive!

"I'm not sure yet, but I think the possibility is very high!" Cang Si nodded and said.

In truth, Souji wasn't really worried that Shisui and Orochimaru would take out the Fire Country Daimyo.

Let’s not talk about Shisui for now. I think Orochimaru would not do such a thankless task. After all, there is still a Hatake Sakumo over there.

Therefore, no matter how great the direct threat is, Cang Si does not believe that anyone can take the life of the Fire Country Daimyo.

However, if that guy in the dark is really someone close to the daimyo, and he is just using the Akatsuki organization to contain Hatake Sakumo and the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

There is a high probability that the other party will take action to kill the Daimyo of the Fire Country himself!

In other words, for the mastermind behind the scenes, the people sent by the Akatsuki organization can

Success or failure doesn’t matter at all, the killer move is not there.

The existence of Shisui and Orochimaru is just to attract everyone's attention.

This also explains why the other party would specifically hire the Akatsuki organization to take action.

That's because the existence of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas and Hatake Sakumo will interfere with the opponent's actions!

Only if you think this way, this matter is reasonable.

After Cang Si told Kakashi all his guesses, Kakashi's heart was no longer at ease.

"Of course, all of this is just my guess. As for the specific situation, we still have to wait until we arrive at the Daimyoji Castle of the Fire Nation before we can make a judgment." Cang Si said with a relaxed smile.

Perhaps influenced by Souji's relaxed expression, Kakashi's nerves were no longer so tense.

"I understand, Senior Cang Si. After we arrive at the Fire Country's Daimyo Castle, I will take the opportunity to conduct an investigation in secret." Kakashi promised solemnly.

As a member of the Anbu, Kakashi is definitely better than Souji when it comes to investigating this kind of thing.

After all, everyone has their own expertise, and Cang Si is not omnipotent.

After dealing with Kakashi, Cang Si's mood also became good.

It would definitely be inappropriate for Cang Si to take action on this matter alone.

If he really did that, he would probably just have to sit around the daimyo and wait for the enemy to take action, which would be too passive.

Firstly, this was just his guess, and he might just be doing useless work and waiting in vain; secondly, the other party might have simply stopped the assassination after Shisui and Orochimaru failed.

In that case, there is a bomb hidden next to the Daimyo of the Fire Country that can explode at any time.

And it is impossible for Cang Si to stay by the Daimyo's side forever. It is possible that the Daimyo would be killed by that guy right after he left.

Therefore, the best option is to find an opportunity to catch the other party and eliminate the trouble forever!

After discussing countermeasures for various situations, Souji and Kakashi quickened their pace and continued to head towards the Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire.

Two days later, Souji and Kakashi entered the Daimyo Castle.

"Kakashi, let's go find your father first. For things like this, we should first inform Senior Sakumo and ask him to cooperate with us in the action." Souji said to Kakashi.

"Yeah." Kaka nodded and agreed.

Then, under the leadership of Kakashi, the two walked forward along the bustling street.

Although Souji had been to the Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire before, that was to save Hatake Sakumo, so he went directly to the Daimyo's mansion and did not wander around the city.

So, I am not very familiar with the environment here.

Although Kakashi seldom comes here, his father is here after all, so he will come here occasionally every once in a while.

Therefore, Kakashi is familiar with the Daimyo Castle in the Land of Fire.

The two turned several streets and soon entered the aristocratic residential area in the city!

Then, Kakashi walked to a tall residential building, stopped, and knocked on the door.

Soon someone came out and took Kakashi and Souji inside.

It can be seen that this person who looks like a butler should know Kakashi.

Finally, after Souji and Kakashi walked into the lobby of this residential complex, they saw a familiar person.

This person is none other than Kakashi's father - Hatake Sakumo!

After more than ten years, Cang Si once again met the Konoha White Fang who once made all the nations tremble in fear!

As for this place, it is the home of Hatake Sakumo in the Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire.

It can be seen that, whether due to the former friendship between the two sides or other relationships, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire attaches great importance to Hatake Sakumo.

This can be seen from the residence of Hatake Sakumo and the busy servants in the house that Souji saw along the way.

From this we can see that Hatake Sakumo should have been living a very good life since he left Konoha and came to the Daimyo Castle in the Land of Fire!

This is totally the treatment of nobility!

In addition, when Cang Si looked at Hatake Sakumo, the other party's energy and spirit were still at its peak.

There is absolutely no sign of a downward trend due to age.

The look in his eyes was as sharp as a sword, emitting a hint of coldness.

And this may be the change brought about by Hatake Sakumo's long-term swordsmanship practice.

He looks like a sword drawn from its sheath!

Chapter 628 Coincidence and Nightmare

Hatake Sakumo's imposing aura was instantly retracted when Souji and Kakashi walked into the lobby.

This made Cang Si doubt for a moment whether everything he had just seen was true or false.

"Soji, Kakashi, why did you two come to Daimyo Castle to find me today? I was very surprised when the servant came to report it." Hatake Sakumo said with a smile.

There was nothing false in what Hatake Sakumo said on this point.

Because usually, when Kakashi came to see him, he would write a letter in advance to inform him.

He was a little surprised that she came here quietly this time, not to mention that she brought Cang Si with her.

"Senior Shumao, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm really sorry that I haven't come to visit you. But now it seems that you should be living well here." While speaking, Cang Si also looked around.

"This is all thanks to you, Souji." Hatake Sakumo shook his head and laughed, but did not deny it.

To be honest, staying in the Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire is indeed much more comfortable than staying in Konoha.

In fact, over the years, whether it was the Third Hokage or Minato when he was Hokage, there were letters hoping that he would return to Konoha.

However, they were all rejected by Hatake Sakumo.

The Fire Nation Daimyo was really good to him. Not only was there no restriction on him, but the arrangements made for him were also completely in line with those made by the top nobles in the city.

Hatake Sakumo was not used to this arrangement at first, but after a long time, he gradually adapted to it.

The only bad thing about being here is that I can't meet my former friends from Konoha and my son often.

Therefore, over the years, they only communicated with each other through letters.

Most of the time, when former friends from Konoha passed by the Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire, they would come back to sit with Hatake Sakumo.

But it must be said that in terms of life, Hatake Sakumo still lives a very comfortable life.

In addition, as the leader of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas formed by the daimyo, Hatake Sakumo has never given up his swordsmanship.

He would occasionally take some people with him to clear out wandering ninjas and thief gangs within the Fire Country.

Therefore, he never stopped practicing for a single day.

Even though Hatake Sakumo is already over 50 years old and a few years older than the three ninjas of Konoha, judging from his appearance, he looks like a middle-aged man in his s and does not show any signs of old age.

Normally, with him in charge here, the Fire Country Daimyo is very safe.

But the premise of all this is that there is no traitor inside!

Afterwards, Souji and Hatake Sakumo started chatting about some family matters, leaving Kakashi alone.

This made Kakashi feel helpless.

It seems like he is not treated as a biological son today!

After Souji and Hatake Sakumo finally finished talking about a topic again, Kakashi finally found an opportunity to interrupt their conversation.

"Father, Senior Cang Si and I came here this time to remind you of something very important!" Kakashi said concisely.

Hearing that Kakashi was about to get down to business, Cang Si stopped talking.

With Kakashi beside him, it was not his turn to explain.

"Oh? Kakashi, are you here with a mission this time?" There was a hint of curiosity on Hatake Sakumo's face.

"It's not really a mission. Senior Cang Si got a piece of news, so we thought of coming here." Kakashi glanced at Cang Si and explained after getting an affirmative look.

"Could it be that someone wants to harm the Daimyo?" Hatake Sakumo asked half-jokingly.

However, as soon as he said this, Cang Si and Kakashi both widened their eyes.

"Fuck, is the guess so accurate?" Cang Si complained madly in his mind.

Kakashi, on the other hand, quickly reacted and asked seriously, "Father, how did you know that?"

Hearing what Kakashi said, the smile on Hatake Sakumo's face finally disappeared, and he became as serious as when Souji first saw him.

At this moment, Cang Si was certain that what he had just seen was definitely not an illusion!

Just before Cang Si entered the lobby, he clearly saw that there was a solemnity and a hint of worry on Hatake Sakumo's face.

It’s just that the other person’s expression changed very quickly, so Cang Si was not sure.

But now it seems that before he and Kakashi arrived at the Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire, Hatake Sakumo must have been troubled by something.

"It seems that what happened in the past few days was not a coincidence. Someone is indeed targeting the daimyo in secret." Hatake Sakumo pinched his chin with his right hand and said after a moment of silence.

"Father, what on earth happened?" Kakashi was a little confused now.

Afterwards, Hatake Sakumo did not hide anything and told Souji and Kakashi everything that had happened recently.

However, as Hatake Sakumo spoke, the two became more and more frightened.

Because, according to Hatake Sakumo, accidents often happen around the daimyo recently!

The first accident happened about half a month ago.

At that time, Hatake Sakumo, as usual, took several members of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas to the vicinity of Daimyo Castle to clear out possible bandit groups and wandering ninjas.

However, not long after he left, something bad happened to the daimyo in the city!

Someone actually poisoned the daimyo's food!

But fortunately, a cat raised by the daimyo's daughter suddenly jumped out and ate the food that was originally prepared for the daimyo, and died instead of the daimyo.
