Starting as a part-time worker from Naruto

Because Team 7 will always belong to him, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura, he doesn't want anyone else to join in and replace Sasuke's position!

"..."

Haruno Sakura looked at Tsunade with worry in her eyes.

"I also declined his proposal."

Tsunade understood Uzumaki Naruto's thoughts very well.

Because her disciple Haruno Sakura thought the same.

of course.

If the person proposed by Akihara Kagura was Karin, Tsunade would not disagree, but the person proposed by Akihara Kagura was just an ordinary ninja. Tsunade immediately rejected this idea. She was worried that Akihara Kagura wanted to use this to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

but……

Akihara Kagura did not choose to give up.

Akihara Kagura wanted to send a Root ninja to monitor Uzumaki Naruto in the name of being worried that something might happen to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Tsunade had no way of refusing this because it was approved at the Five Kage meeting in Konoha Village.

This Five Kage Council...

Specifically refers to the five Hokage of Konoha Village.

Over the years, when Jiraiya was training with Uzumaki Naruto, he seemed to intend to let Uzumaki Naruto release the Nine-Tails' chakra, and many dangers occurred in the process.

In any case, Tsunade refused Akihara Kagura's suggestion to place people in Team 7, but it was also difficult for her to refuse Akihara Kagura's request to send someone to monitor Uzumaki Naruto in order to avoid any accidents.

"never mind."

Tsunade glanced at Shizune beside her and said softly, "Let me check your results first! I have specially selected an opponent for you. In order to wait for Naruto to come back, I deliberately did not let him go on the mission..."

"Who?"

Uzumaki Naruto was still a little curious.

"Ahem...I'll be here in the afternoon."

Tsunade coughed a few times before speaking: "The opponent I prepared for you is Kakashi, but he has been transferred by the Hokage's assistant to help the Root test another person first..."

This is a must.

Because Akihara Kagura wanted to send out a Root ninja to monitor Team 7, Akihara Kagura and Team 7's captain Kakashi Hatake are old friends, so she must get the approval of Team 7's captain Kakashi Hatake.

and so……

Hatake Kakashi accepted Akihara Kagura's invitation and went to check the strength of the Root Ninja first to see how powerful the Root Ninja was and what kind of person he was.

The exclusive training ground for the roots.

When Hatake Kakashi came here, he still felt a little disgusted with what Akihara Kagura did. When he saw Akihara Kagura, he wanted to complain: "Hey, you don't need to send people to monitor us..."

"This is also for your safety."

Akihara Kagura looked at Hatake Kakashi and said softly, "In the past few years, Naruto and Jiraiya-sensei have caused a lot of trouble during their training. It's always better to be careful... I originally wanted to place someone in Team 7, but was rejected by Lady Tsunade. However, in order to prevent Naruto from getting into any accidents, I'd better send someone to monitor him!"

"You're becoming more and more like Danzo..."

Hatake Kakashi thought of the previous generation of Root leaders.

"First, take a look at the people I have chosen..."

Akihara Kagura patted Hatake Kakashi on the shoulder and said in a friendly manner: "If you think his ability is okay, I will let him monitor Team 7. If you think his ability is not good enough, then I will replace him with someone else..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi shook his head and remained silent.

The instructor of Team 7 had made up his mind that no matter who Akihara Kagura would send out later, he would not agree to Akihara Kagura's proposal.

of course.

Unless Akihara Kagura sends out Karin.

"Come out."

Akihara Kagura clapped his hands and looked behind a big tree in the training ground: "Let your old superior test your strength to decide whether you are qualified to accept the next mission I assign to you..."

"..."

A hooded figure stepped out from behind the tree.

The figure gently took off his hood, revealing a face that was familiar to Hatake Kakashi: "Teacher Kakashi, long time no see..."

It was Uchiha Sasuke who had just returned to Konoha.

"..."

Hatake Kakashi was stunned.

Hatake Kakashi was stunned on the spot.

Kakashi Hatake was a little confused.

"you……"

Hatake Kakashi looked at the grown-up Uchiha Sasuke in disbelief. His eyes were frozen in their sockets and could not move: "Is it Sasuke? What on earth is going on?"

“It’s a long story.”

Akihara Kagura stood beside Hatake Kakashi and said slowly: "Back then, Orochimaru had always been greedy for Sasuke's body..."

"In order to kill Orochimaru, I took a fancy to Sasuke's talent and took him into the Root. I asked him to carry out a secret mission, and deliberately let Orochimaru take him away and defected, in order to explore the secrets of Orochimaru, and kept passing on news about Orochimaru to the village..."

"at last……"

"Sasuke succeeded in killing Orochimaru."

"Now that his mission is complete, I will naturally let him return to Konoha."

When Akihara Kagura said this, her face seemed a little helpless: "I originally wanted to let Sasuke return to Team 7 and return to your command to prevent the Nine-Tails in Naruto from getting out of control, but Lady Tsunade rejected this proposal. I can only let Sasuke monitor Team 7..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi's brain was a little confused. He could only rub his brows and gesture to Akihara Kagura: "Wait, let me slow down..."

This is a bit of a lot of information.

Kakashi Hatake had regretted countless times that his companions and disciples had all defected from Konoha. He had never expected that his companions were still stirring up trouble in the ninja world, and that his disciples had actually defected in a false way, with the real purpose of executing the mission of killing Orochimaru...

just now……

Mission accomplished.

Sasuke has returned.

Kakashi Hatake looked up at the sky, feeling that he needed some compensation for the regrets and remorse he had felt over the past few years, but he couldn't blame Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Sasuke.

after all……

Assassinating Orochimaru must be an S-rank mission.

This kind of mission is definitely not something that an ordinary Konoha Jonin like him could know.

but……

For the sake of friends...

Can't you at least reveal a little information to comfort me?

Kakashi Hatake remembered that when he and Kagura Akihara went to eat barbecue and ramen, he occasionally mentioned the matter of Uchiha Sasuke's defection. Kagura Akihara always smiled and said nothing, drinking pear juice with a smile, as if he didn't care about these things at all.

however……

Now all crises have been resolved.

The story about Uchiha Sasuke's defection is also fake.

Hatake Kakashi didn't feel too bad, he just sighed and said: "You, you should have told me when you wanted to recruit my students..."

"I'm sorry, Kakashi-sensei."

Uchiha Sasuke stood up and apologized solemnly: "In the beginning, I took the initiative to ask to join the Root in order to gain power..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi didn't look at him.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Akihara Kagura frowned, as if feeling a little strange: "Didn't you want to join the Root in the beginning? It's normal for Sasuke to want to join the Root, right?"

"Now I don't want to join."

Hatake Kakashi took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "The reputation of the Root in the village is now the same as that of the Uchiha clan's former police force..."

After saying this, Kakashi Hatake felt that he had said the wrong thing, and this sentence might irritate Uchiha Sasuke next to him.

after all……

The original Uchiha clan has already perished.

However, when Uchiha Sasuke heard what Hatake Kakashi said, he seemed not to care about it. He even nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood something.

"All right."

When Hatake Kakashi saw Uchiha Sasuke, he didn't want to test him anymore, and he didn't even think about letting Uchiha Sasuke monitor him. He just waved at Uchiha Sasuke and said, "Let's go. I'll assign you to Team 7 again..."

"Lady Tsunade has already refused."

Akihara Kagura interrupted Hatake Kakashi.

"You didn't tell Lady Tsunade the truth?"

Hatake Kakashi looked at Akihara Kagura helplessly.

"The identity of the Root ninja is top secret."

Akihara Kagura shook her head and said in a cold voice: "The Hokage cannot interfere in the affairs of the Root, and the Hokage Assistant will not interfere in the affairs of the Konoha Hospital. This is the rule set by the five Hokage... The two of us are friends, so I let you come to meet Sasuke."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake felt that these rules were a mess.

What kind of rule is this?

Why do the Hokage and the Hokage's assistant have different focuses? Normally, shouldn't the Hokage's assistant be unable to interfere in the affairs of the Anbu?

but……

The Fifth Hokage Tsunade is a medical ninja. Doesn't this seem incomprehensible?

"Kakashi-sensei."

Uchiha Sasuke took a step forward and took the initiative to reject Hatake Kakashi's proposal: "I haven't killed Uchiha Itachi yet, I can't go back now..."

On the one hand, he also needs revenge.

On the other hand, he also needs to compete with Karin for the position of Root leader.

Although Uchiha Sasuke knew that he could enjoy a brief period of warmth by returning to Team 7, he also knew that the position of the future leader of the Root was the top priority.

For Uchiha Sasuke, the position of the leader of the Root is very important, which means that in the future, when that idiot Uzumaki Naruto really becomes the Hokage, the two of them can still fight side by side;

There is one most important thing. The current Root is the base camp of the surviving Uchiha. If Uchiha Sasuke wants to revitalize Uchiha in the future, he must defeat Karin and become the leader of the Root!

“I will continue to stay at the root.”

Uchiha Sasuke has a deep affection for the Root, and also for Team 7: "In the future, I will also be able to protect Team 7 in secret..."

"Let's test this little guy's strength."

Akihara Kagura patted the shoulder of his old friend Hatake Kakashi, sighed and said: "I have also advised him, but he is unwilling, so let him stay in the Root for now!"

"..."

Hatake Kakashi fell silent.

The 7th team's instructor thought for a while before nodding: "I agree, but Naruto and Sakura will definitely be disappointed..."

"Kakashi-sensei, it's better not to tell them the truth yet."

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head, a sneer of contempt appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was still the proud Uchiha when he grew up: "If that idiot Naruto knew, it would definitely delay my work. I will tell that idiot after I kill Uchiha Itachi..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi knew that Uchiha Sasuke was right.
