The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

After making up his mind, Kakashi went home alone.

As for the Third Hokage, since it was too late today, he chose to sleep in the Hokage office building!

In the following few days, Cang Si finally stopped letting the Duke of Darkness show up so frequently. He had to prepare for the appointment with Orochimaru.

As for the Duke of Darkness, although he has not appeared easily recently, the discussion about him in the village still shows no signs of stopping.

One morning, a dark shadow quietly left the house and headed towards the village cemetery.

This person is none other than Hatake Kakashi!

Although many people know that Kakashi often goes to the cemetery.

But he usually went there in the morning and afternoon, never at night, let alone early in the morning like today.

Moreover, when Kakashi usually went to the cemetery, he would always bring two bouquets of flowers, but tonight he unexpectedly brought a shovel!

It's obvious that they are not going to the cemetery to visit their dead friends, but to cause trouble!

After all, who in their right mind would go to a cemetery in the wee hours of the morning?

Not to mention he brought a shovel with him!

It would be more appropriate to say that I was going to dig a grave rather than visiting a friend!

After arriving at the cemetery, Kakashi quickly stood in front of the tombstone of Minato and his wife.

Looking at the familiar photo on the tombstone, Kakashi took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"Teacher, Master's Wife, I'm sorry for offending you. I must get an answer today. I hope you can forgive my disrespect!"

Kakashi bowed to the two tombstones in front of him and whispered solemnly.

Then, Kakashi didn't hesitate any longer and started digging the grave.

After a few "bang bang" sounds, the tomb of the Fourth Hokage Minato was soon dug up by Kakashi.

With a feeling that was half heavy and half excited, Kakashi slowly opened the coffin.

When the coffin lid was opened, Kakashi's pupils instantly shrank.

As expected, but unexpectedly, this is an empty tomb!

Not only that, during the grave digging process, Kakashi clearly discovered that the grave belonging to his teacher, the Fourth Hokage, had been disturbed a long time ago.

Although it is not certain whether it was his teacher who came out of the grave or was dug out by someone, this undoubtedly points to one fact.

His teacher is still alive!

Moreover, Kakashi is now 100% sure that the Duke of Darkness is his teacher.

Although a few days ago, when the Dark Duke unsealed Kakashi's memory, he was already 90% certain that the other party was his teacher.

However, a seal is something that cannot be removed by just the person who puts it down.

Normally, a ninja who is good at sealing techniques must have studied other sealing techniques as well.

In this way, it is not too difficult to understand how to remove the seal cast by others.

Therefore, even though Kakashi had roughly confirmed the identity of the Dark Lord, he still did not choose to reveal this information to the Third Hokage immediately.

The main reason was that he was afraid that his joy would be for nothing.

That's why Kakashi wanted to dig a grave tonight.

When Kakashi saw that his teacher's grave had been disturbed and that his teacher's body was no longer in the coffin, the joy he felt in his heart was indescribable.

"Great, the teacher is still alive! I guess the Duke of Darkness came to help me unlock my sealed memory a few days ago just to tell me this news."

Kakashi was so excited that he even clenched his fists unconsciously.

In this way, Kakashi also resolved the last bit of doubt in his heart about the identity of the Duke of Darkness.

"That's what I said. Since the teacher knew the future history, how could he die like this? I guess he must be hiding in the dark and fighting against unknown enemies, right?"

At this moment, Kakashi himself had already figured out the reason why Minato had deliberately pretended to be dead for so many years.

This has to be said that Cang Si’s strategy was really successful!

This was undoubtedly a very correct statement as it didn't say it explicitly but only gave Kakashi a hint, allowing him to find evidence himself to prove that Minato was still alive.

This not only saves Souji and Minato the trouble of explaining themselves later, but also makes Minato's resurrection seem more reasonable.

It can be said that the smarter a person is, the more likely he or she is to fall into such a misunderstanding.

Give him a clue and he can make up a complete story line for you!

That's what Kakashi is doing now.

And all of this was within Cang Si's expectations.

"Since Minato-sensei is still alive, then where is Master-sensei Kushina?"

After finally accepting the fact that his teacher was still alive, Kakashi immediately thought of another person.

You know, on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, his teacher and his mistress died together!

"Since Mr. Minato knows about the future, given his feelings for his master's wife, I think he will protect her no matter what, right?

If that's the case, then is Master's Wife still alive?"

Thinking of this possibility, Kakashi's heart, which had finally calmed down, immediately became excited again!

Without further hesitation, Kakashi continued his grave digging mission.

Kushina's grave was actually right next to Minato, so it didn't take Kakashi long to dig it up.

During this process, Kakashi also discovered signs that the grave had been disturbed.

It can be said that it is almost exactly the same as the grave of his teacher Minato!

This made Kakashi even more excited!

Finally, it was time to open the coffin.

"Click"

As the coffin lid was lifted, Kakashi held his breath.

As a result, there was no difference between Kushina's coffin and Minato's. Not to mention the stench of corpse, there was not even a shadow of a person!

"Sure enough! Hahaha! That's great! The teacher and his wife are still alive!"

Even Kakashi, who was usually calm, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

With his head raised, the tears at the corners of his eyes were clearly visible.

However, it can be seen that Kakashi was obviously too excited and that led to tears.

Of course, it is normal for Kakashi to behave like this.

Before Minato and Kushina passed away, they basically took care of Kakashi like their own child.

During the time when Kakashi was confused, Minato and Kushina would often invite Kakashi to their home for dinner.

Kakashi had thought that two such important people in his life were dead, but now he suddenly knew that they were still alive.

Isn't it because I was too happy and too excited that I shed tears?

If Souji's grandfather Hyuga Kumokawa suddenly came back to life intact, do you think Souji would perform much better than Kakashi?

This is human nature!

Just like that, perhaps because he was too excited, Kakashi actually stayed alone at the grave of Minato and Kushina for an entire night.

It was not until the next morning that he cleaned up all traces and left.

In already

After confirming that the teacher and his wife were still alive, Kakashi now had only one thing to do!

That is to notify the Third Hokage!

Given the uncertainty at the beginning, he was afraid that his excitement would be in vain.

Although we still don’t know where Master Kushina is, there is no doubt that the Duke of Darkness is his teacher, the Fourth Hokage!

For Kakashi, such an important matter must be notified to the Third Hokage first.

After all, the first thing to do is to make the Third Hokage completely give up the idea of ​​considering the Duke of Darkness as an enemy.

Secondly, since the Duke of Darkness has implicitly revealed his identity to him, the Third Hokage must be prepared for his teacher's return.

Without any hesitation, Kakashi stayed up all night and went directly from Konoha's cemetery to the Hokage's office building the next day.

After the notification, Kakashi successfully met the Third Hokage.

"Sandaime-sama!"

Kakashi respectfully called out to the Third Hokage who had already started processing various documents early in the morning.

"Kakashi, how are you doing? You've been a mentor for four years. Are you used to it?"

After taking a look at Kakashi, the Third Hokage asked with a little concern.

The Third Hokage was very satisfied with Kakashi!

Especially a few days ago, Kakashi made a breakthrough in swordsmanship and his strength reached the Kage level, which made the Third Hokage even happier.

Kakashi is different from his father, Hatake Sakumo, in that he is a true Hokage.

After all, Kakashi's teacher is his own grand-disciple.

The Third Hokage would of course be happy to see the Hokage faction grow in strength.

Even the Third Hokage is now considering whether to let Kakashi inherit the position of the Fifth Hokage!

Although Kakashi is still young, his strength is undoubtedly up to standard.

Of course, the first and fifth candidate for Hokage in the mind of the Third Hokage is still one of his two disciples, Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Kakashi is his third choice!

It can be said that the Third Hokage treated Kakashi as his own.

Therefore, it is normal for the Third Hokage to show concern for Kakashi's affairs.

"Hmm~, well, it's okay. I just hope that this year there will be a team of students who can complete my test. Otherwise, I will have almost another year of idleness."

Facing the greeting from the Third Hokage, Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then answered awkwardly.

"Hey, I know what you're thinking. I won't interfere too much. I just hope you can find a student that suits your taste.

I won’t say much about the rest.

Well, tell me, what brings you to me so early in the morning? "

The Third Hokage looked at Kakashi's stubbornness, sighed at first, then changed the subject and asked about the main matter.

Generally speaking, at this time, only the Anbu would send him a bunch of information, or there would be documents in the village that needed him to process. Few people would come to him at this time.

Therefore, Kakashi's arrival still made the Third Hokage very curious.

Hearing the question from the Third Hokage, Kakashi's expression became serious.

"Sir, I do have a top-secret matter that I need to discuss with you. Could you please ask the Anbu around to withdraw first?"

Kakashi said solemnly after glancing at several hidden corners of the room.

"Ok?"

Hearing what Kakashi said, the Third Hokage was stunned for a moment.

"Is it so important?" The Third Hokage asked hesitantly.

Kakashi didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Okay, I understand." After a moment's silence, the Third Hokage made a gesture.

In an instant, Kakashi felt that the several gazes that were originally hidden around the Hokage's office had completely disappeared.

It was obvious that the gesture made by the Third Hokage just now was to notify the Anbu to leave.

"Okay, there is no one else around now, Kakashi, just tell me what you want to say." The expression on the Third Hokage's face was extremely solemn at this moment.

Kakashi is so cautious

The appearance of Tsubasa really made the Third Hokage curious.
