Chapter 567 Four Shadows(2/3)
Generally speaking, through the simple test just now, he was very satisfied with the level of the two of them, and it was enough to test them to this point.
If you continue to test the remaining things, you may not be able to contain them, and you can only rely on real actual combat to test them.
"Is this the end? B-level missions are too simple."
After Naruto was stunned for a moment, he stopped and did not continue to attack Tenzo.
However, in his opinion, this B-level mission was too simple. It was even less difficult than the drill battle a year ago when Team 7 was not established.
At least that time, the three of them failed to get any benefits from Kakashi, and it could even be said that they ended up in a very miserable situation.
Tenzo knew Naruto's thoughts and smiled and replied: "Of course, because compared with when you first became genin, your strength has grown significantly after a year of actual combat. Especially you, Naruto,
Give you a little more time, maybe even I won't be your opponent."
This is no joke.
From his point of view, Naruto's growth rate was very abnormal.
At best, it only takes one year to graduate. If he is given another year or even two years, if he doesn't deal with it carefully, he may be in danger of overturning.
Besides, B-level missions are actually not difficult in a strict sense.
Under Ninja are considered C-level and D-level missions.
The B-level mission involves fighting ninjas. As for the ninja-level mission, even if you encounter genin during the process, it will be considered a B-level mission.
The truly difficult missions start with A and S levels, and are basically direct battles with ninjas with Jonin strength.
"is that so?"
Naruto chuckled and started scratching his head, as if he was a little embarrassed to be praised like this by the Jonin.
"Naruto, I'm not joking, I'm saying this seriously... It seems that the shadow clone training method taught to you by Kakashi-senpai is indeed very effective, allowing you to develop your potential to the greatest extent.
"
Tenzo is very aware of how poor Naruto's foundation was in the past, and Taijutsu is a field that is hard to master. Without a cheating device like the Sharingan, it is difficult to quickly learn from others.
During these days, Naruto only followed Jiraiya to learn Taijutsu for two or three months, and he already had quite a lot of skills... This kind of rapid and steady growth made Tenzo not know what to say.
"Kakashi...senpai?"
When Tenzo said this, both Naruto and Sakura were startled, and looked at Tenzo in unison.
Tianzang smiled helplessly.
"As you can imagine, I was born in ANBU, and my direct boss in ANBU in the past was Kakashi Hatake."
His current position in ANBU is at the deputy minister level, and he also holds the position of squad leader part-time.
As for the position of the minister, it has not been decided yet.
On the one hand, this is because a suitable candidate has not yet emerged, and on the other hand, there are other forces that are obstructing it.
"That's it..."
It can be seen that when Kakashi was mentioned, both of them looked very lonely, and their shoulders dropped weakly.
Tenzo didn't give any clues. He knew Kakashi's status in the hearts of the two of them. This can be seen from the fact that they only called themselves 'Captain Yamato' instead of 'Yamato-sensei'.
In their minds, the only teacher of Class 7 is Kakashi.
Tenzo also felt puzzled and regretful about Kakashi's betrayal.
But he is an adult and will not indulge in boring emotions.
Over the years he has lived in ANBU, he has become accustomed to loss and betrayal, and his character has been tempered to be perseverant.
"So, Captain Yamato, do you know why Mr. Kakashi killed the third generation grandfather and why he betrayed the village? I asked Granny Tsunade, but she didn't tell me anything. Later I asked the lustful immortal too
Same."
At this time, Naruto raised his head and looked at Tenzo with firm eyes.
Since the other party is Kakashi's subordinate, he must know a lot about Kakashi.
After hearing Naruto's question, Sakura looked at Tenzo after being stunned, with longing in her eyes.
Obviously, she also wanted to know the reason why Kakashi betrayed Konoha on the charge of assassinating Hokage.
She didn't believe that the man in her impression, who was a bit lazy but always concerned about the safety of the students, could be a cold-blooded betrayer.
Seeing the anticipation in their eyes, Tianzang felt a little embarrassed.
If this matter is not handled properly, will there be some estrangement in the team?
What a troublesome problem. Tianzang sighed helplessly.
"In that case, let me briefly talk to you. However, please do not say this to outsiders, because it involves some privacy in the past."
"Don't worry, we won't talk nonsense. Tell us the truth quickly, Captain Yamato."
Naruto assured as he patted his chest.
Tianzang nodded, and after a pause, he said, "Before we talk about this matter, do you know Kakashi-senpai's father?"
Naruto was stunned, and Sakura thought of something and replied: "I know a little bit. I heard that Kakashi-sensei's father is also a great Konoha ninja. He seems to be called Konoha White Fang. However, it is said that
That White Fang passed away a long time ago."
"Then do you know the reason for his death?"
Naruto and Sakura shook their heads in confusion.
Tianzang took a deep breath, and it was obvious that the content that followed made him feel even more stressed.
However, if they continue to struggle, this part of the truth will be revealed sooner or later.
If this incident can solve the doubts in their hearts, it can be considered a good thing.
"Kakashi-senpai's father is called Hatake Sakumo. He was an extremely shining star in Konoha more than 20 years ago. In terms of prestige, he was not weaker than the Sannin at that time, and White Fang was his intimidator.
The title given to the enemy. Kakashi-senpai’s sword skills were passed down from White Fang.”
"Then how did such a ninja die? On the battlefield..."
"No, White Fang...Hatake Sakumo died of suicide."
suicide!
When Naruto and Sakura heard this, they both held their breath and looked at Tenzo with wide eyes.
"Because during a major mission, he gave up the mission midway in order to save his seriously injured teammates. After he came back, he was criticized by many people. Even the teammates he rescued also accused him of his fault.
, thinking that he should not choose to give up the mission and cause the village to suffer losses for the sake of his companions. Amidst such rapid rumors, he chose to commit suicide."
As Tenzo recounted this past event in a heavy tone, Naruto and Sakura also looked solemn.
I never thought that a hero who fought for the village would end his life in this way.
"So, this matter and the third generation grandfather..."
"Probably Kakashi-senpai thinks this is the result of the Third Generation's deliberate actions. After all, the more confidential the mission, the less likely it is to be disseminated to the outside world, let alone to ordinary villagers. Unless someone deliberately takes advantage of this, I think
There is no other reason for destroying White Fang's reputation."
Serving in the ANBU, Tenzo is very aware of this.
It is impossible to disclose any major confidential tasks to the outside world.
Regardless of success or failure, it means that this part of the secret must be sealed forever or written off from the village's archives.
Without the tacit approval of ANBU, such news would not be spread to the outside world.
"Of course, this is just speculation. After all, White Fang committed suicide twenty years ago. No one knows the specific story. There are also many people who believe that Danzo did it."
Tianzang said this.
"Danzo?"
A gloomy and terrifying old man's face suddenly appeared in Naruto and Sakura's minds, and they both shuddered.
"Yes, that's him. He is the dark side of Konoha. Many people regard him as the darkness behind the sun. Assassination and spreading rumors are his specialties. At that time, he did have such motives and the ability to do it.
To this point.”
Tenzo knew that by saying this, it would be impossible to completely clear away the stains on the Third Hokage, but at least Danzo could help share some of it.
After all, Danzo was really involved in that incident, and he was also the specific implementer.
As Hokage, the Third Hokage will not do this kind of thing personally, he will only let the root do it for him.
"I heard that the elder Danzo is now in jail because he was suspected of attacking the Hokage, trying to control the Third Generation, and seizing the position of the Hokage. Is this true?"
Sakura asked.
"Yes, Danzo has been under strict supervision in the torture chamber and can only retire in a cell for the rest of his life."
Tenzo nodded.
This is true according to the procedural rules, but that Danzo elder has the power to break the rules in Konoha.
However, there is no need to be honest with Naruto and Sakura about these things, just reveal a little information.
To be continued...
