The Third Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, the root leader, one of the Three Ninjas... are not easy to get along with, and everyone is stronger than him.

However, becoming an ANBU was not without its benefits for Kakashi, that is, Minato used the power of the Hokage to open up some important ninjutsu information to him for him to read, allowing him to quickly become stronger.

The ninjutsu information compiled by Konoha over the years was of great help to Kakashi.

Although it is not a more mysterious magic system, the use of pure chakra is not simple to use.

After completing the ANBU mission, Kakashi, as the leader of the four-man ANBU team, will come to the Hokage Building to report on the mission.

The mission this time was very simple. We needed to deal with a spy from the enemy's ninja village who had infiltrated Konoha. After stealing secrets from Konoha, this enemy spy fled to the border of the Land of Fire and was caught up and eliminated by the ANBU team led by Kakashi.

The stolen secret scroll was successfully recovered. The body of the spy ninja was also recovered and handed over to the interrogation department to identify which country's ninja force it belonged to.

Putting the stolen secret scroll in his ninja tool bag, Kakashi, who had changed into ANBU costume and animal mask, walked towards the Hokage's office, preparing to hand the scroll to the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato to confirm its authenticity.

Before arriving at the office, a ninja walked out of the front room. The ninja held a large box filled with documents and carried it toward the corridor. He also held a toothpick-like Senbon in his mouth.

Seeing Kakashi in ANBU costume, he smiled and said, "Kakashi, are you here to find the Hokage?"

"Hey, Genma, don't call ANBU ninjas by their names casually."

It should be common sense among ninjas that the identities of ANBU ninjas need to be kept secret.

Kakashi looked helplessly at the Konoha ninja in front of him.

Wearing the uniform of Konoha Chuunin, he is about the same age as himself, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and his name is Shiranui Genma.

He is one of the three former subordinates of the defected ninja Uchiha Ruri, and is now transferred to work here in the Hokage Building. He is also a member of the Shadow Guard of Hokage Minato.

"Haha." The man laughed and said helplessly: "I can't help it. Your silver hair and the short sword behind you are so iconic that everyone can recognize you."

"What are these documents?"

Kakashi looked at the contents of the box.

"It's a file that has been discarded. I'll go and deal with it. Sorry, I'm going to take a step ahead."

"It's okay, just go about your business."

Kakashi watched the other party leave with the box in his arms, sighing that there was really no one under Minato's command.

It's not that he looked down on Genma who became a chuunin, but that the members of the Hokage's Shadow Guards were actually served by ninjas who had just become chunin. They were more like people who came here to do chores than the guards of the Shadow Guards.

As for the other two ninjas who were members of the Minato Kage Guards like Genma, they were also the new generation who had just become chunin.

Can we only select close friends from the new generation of ninjas? Kakashi felt a little pity for Minato's experience.

I came to Minato's office, knocked on the door and got permission to enter, and found that there were three other people there.

Nara Shikaku, Yamazaka Haiichi, Autumn Road Dingzao.

Three Konoha Jonin who went on a mission together two years ago.

Although they are jounin, the importance the three of them hold in the village cannot be underestimated.

They were respectively from the Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan and the Akimichi clan.

The three families formed an indestructible alliance during the Warring States Period, advancing and retreating together, inheriting secret techniques with special abilities, and occupying a pivotal position in Konoha.

The most important thing is that these three families have always been friends with the Sarutobi clan, where the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen belongs, for generations.

What did the Third Hokage mean when the three of them came here? Kakashi was confused.

The internal disputes in Konoha are far more intense than outsiders imagine.

And Kakashi felt that he was at the center of such a fierce storm.

After Kakashi arrived, Shikaku and the other three also glanced at him. Even though Kakashi was wearing a mask, others could identify him at first glance.

With silver hair, a short sword with white teeth, and a small body exuding an unparalleled sharp aura, in this office, only Minato could treat him calmly.

"Then, I'll trouble you about the things I just mentioned."

Sitting on the seat that not long ago belonged to the Third Hokage, Minato smiled and said to Shikaku and the others.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to us, Hokage-sama, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Shikaku responded with a smile, took Haiyi and Dingza away, and closed the door.

After the three people left, Kakashi took out the stolen secret scroll from his ninja tool bag and placed it on the table in front of Minato.

"Hokage-sama, the mission has been completed."

This is understandable, as soon as he enters work, the teacher-student relationship between him and Minato will cease to exist. Here there is only the relationship between superior and subordinate, Hokage and ANBU.

Minato picked up the scroll and opened it. After confirming the contents, he rolled it up again and put it away in the drawer.

"Thank you for your hard work. There is no problem with the scroll. Fortunately, it was solved before it caused any trouble."

Minato breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kakashi with an appreciative tone.

"Nothing, this is what I should do."

"There is an important task for you next, no problem, Kakashi. After completing this task, I will give you a few days of vacation to rest."

"It's my pleasure, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi replied seriously.

Minato asked him to complete tasks one after another, mainly because there was no one around.

Even the members of the Shadow Guard are all chunin, and there are very few jounin who can be completely trusted.

"This is the content of this mission. Take a look."

Minato handed the new mission scroll to Kakashi.

Kakashi opened it and confirmed the content of this mission.

"The Land of Rain?"

The face under Kakashi's mask raised an eyebrow.

The mission location was in the Land of Rain, which surprised Kakashi.

To be honest, Kakashi feels that there are many extremely dangerous places in the ninja world now.

Apart from the Kingdom of Ghosts, the only one left is the Kingdom of Rain.

This country, which seems to be in ruins and has even lost its sovereignty, is actually full of undercurrents.

"Yes, I'm asking you to do this. Be careful, I think things are not simple. If you find something is wrong, there is no problem in giving up the mission."

Minato said to Kakashi seriously.

Kakashi could only nodded.

Of course he knew that the Country of Rain was dangerous, and if he encountered the Samsara Eye, he would have no choice but to run away at the risk of his life.

He didn't want to die so early and young.

Therefore, you need to prepare more detonating symbols.

"In the end, is it Yellow Flash who will inherit the position of the Fourth Hokage?"

In a secret room in the cave, Nagato finished his training and was resting in the room when he heard such information from Bai Zetsu.

"Yes, everyone is surprised. That Orochimaru was completely defeated."

Bai Jue chuckled.

"Speaking of which, Nagato-sama is also a sect member of Yellow Flash, and both are disciples of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas."

Hei Jue also said on the side.

"Let's put aside Mr. Jiraiya's matters. We cannot take things lightly about Konoha. Of course, the same goes for those three people. Do you have any information about them?"

Nagato looked at Black Zetsu.

Hei Jue knows who the "three people" in the long doorway refer to.

"Not yet. It's really strange. We have searched almost every corner of the ninja world and can't find their whereabouts. It's like they have disappeared."

Shiro absolutely disapproved and said with a smile: "What's weird about this? When Madara-sama was still here, he suffered a lot from them. Their ability to hide themselves is indeed superb. But next, Konoha should be able to free up his hands.

Come, let’s deal with those three people.”

Hei Jue also nodded in agreement.

"No, now is not the time to deal with those three people."

Nagato said a different view, which surprised Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

Nagato looked at the half-burned candle on the candlestick, stared at the candlelight and said: "Compared to those three people, Konoha is the biggest problem. I need to take back the sovereignty of the Rain Country, and I must first let Konoha

Or maybe the Fire Nation will have a chance when it becomes chaotic, and then we can deal with those three people."

"But……"

Nagato stood up from his seat and interrupted Black Zetsu's speech:

"It's nothing. Konoha... the power of the Fire Nation is too strong. The more powerful the Fire Nation is, the more we have to rely on it to survive. Konoha and the Fire Nation are our number one enemies. The most important thing is
