Chapter 2522 Original Purpose
Latest website: "Chi!"
"Zizzi...zizi..."
The sound of the tender beef and the fat and lean pork belly sizzling under the iron plate and the sound of oil splashing came from in front of you and from all directions.
The aroma of barbecue fills the air wantonly.
"So, when you come back this time, you won't leave?"
Seeing the sizzling special grilled meat in front of him being picked up and put into the mouth of the white-haired man in front of him, Kakashi gently put down the wine glass and spoke.
After hearing these words, Metkai and the white-haired young man Asuma who were sitting next to Kakashi also put down their wine glasses at the same time and looked at the white-haired young man opposite and next to them.
After having a drink, Kakashi went straight to the point and asked the question that the three people present were most concerned about.
The white-haired young man, Chiba, wants to leave.
"I can't leave like this..."
In response to this, Chiba, who had swallowed the oil with relish and an aftertaste on his face, immediately turned bitter and said.
An expression that says, "Even if I want to leave, I can't."
To be honest, at this moment, he has accepted most of the power belonging to the Hokage. Although the Third Hokage did not say it, he is basically the acting Hokage of Konoha at this stage, and the Third Hokage has always supported him. His plans to take over, and even some plans for him to come back and take over Konoha were revealed through routine information transmission in the past few years.
Now, he has returned to Konoha after more than ten years. The Third Hokage did not observe whether there would be any changes in him during this period, so he eagerly arranged for him to take over the power, and couldn't wait to tell him that he was still alive only because of certain reasons. The news that death could only be declared due to special reasons was informed to all ninja groups.
It was obvious that the Third Hokage would not let him go.
And now, he has no excuse to leave.
Most likely, you have to stay here.
"Yeah……"
And after hearing Qianba’s words,
Seeing the bitterness on his face, the three of them looked at each other, each picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in their mouths, as if to hide something.
"So, what's your secret mission?"
In response, Kakashi looked around, but saw that there were a lot of people around, and everyone's goals were the barbecue iron plate in front of them and their friends opposite, and then he spoke.
"Um……"
In response, Chiba picked up a piece of meat again, nodded, and answered somewhat vaguely.
It seems that he really won't leave.
It doesn’t matter if you can leave or you can’t leave.
It is even very possible that Chiba originally wanted to return to the village. At this time, he was just trying to hide his true purpose, so he pretended that he could not leave.
But no matter what, Chiba will not leave.
At this time, after hearing this, the three of them looked at each other again, and similar thoughts flashed through their minds almost at the same time.
“It’s been such a long time since I thought about it!”
At the same time, Asuma, who reacted the fastest, poured a glass of wine into Chiba's small wine glass, which had been drained just after the toast, and poured another glass into his own wine glass, raised it and said.
"Um."
In response, Chiba, who had already swallowed the meat, subconsciously picked up the wine glass, and the two of them touched it lightly and drank it down.
"Unexpectedly, when we meet again, we will be able to drink."
But at this time, watching the two of them drink all the wine in their glasses, Kakashi seemed to remember something, his face instantly dimmed, and even a bit of indescribable sadness flashed through his eyes. color.
"ah……"
In response, Chiba nodded after drinking all the wine in the glass. Although she did not look at Kakashi's face, from Kakashi's tone, Chiba could imagine Kakashi's lonely look at this time.
At the same time, he also knew very well what Kakashi was talking about.
That was also what happened after a sparring session. That day, they destroyed their cabin and had no choice but to live in Kakashi's house.
At that time, Hirohiko and Yukina were also there.
No!
It should be said that everyone is there.
Hirohiko, Yukina, Nao, Obito, Lin... they are all here.
That night, everyone gathered at Kakashi's house, seemingly to celebrate their move to Kakashi's house. At that time, someone asked for a drink.
However, because they were not old enough to drink at the time, they could only reject the proposal with a regretful sigh from the instigator.
And the person who proposed it was Obito.
Uchiha, Obito.
And obviously, what makes Kakashi sad now is this memory, and the unforgettable grief over Obito's death that this memory brings out.
After all, Kakashi was different from him. After all, he didn't know that Uchiha Obito was still alive and well in the world at this time.
However, when it comes to Obito, Chiba's mood is actually not any different from Kakashi's because Obito survived.
It might even be more painful than Kakashi's.
If Obito dies, then he, like Kakashi, cannot let go of the death of his old friend and cannot forget the pain.
However, the current Obito, even if he is not with Uchiha Nobuhiko, is still standing on the opposite side of the tower. In any case, facing the pain of his old friend's death is not as painful as fighting his old friend to the death.
But facing an old friend who absolutely doesn't want to look back is even more painful than this, a kind of pain that makes people feel deeply helpless.
To be honest, during this period of time, over the past ten years, Chiba has not never met Obito, and even met him alone a few times.
He once advised this close friend to look back, and even revealed to Uchiha Obito that he was only being used by Uchiha Madara without ruining his current plan.
However, Obito seemed not to hear it. He even seemed to have known about it for a long time and remained indifferent.
After several meetings and persuasion, Qianye discovered that Obito had already made up his mind and would not go back even if they met at war.
Unlike the future Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, Obito and him are no longer in a situation where you can take each other away if you win a fight.
It is obviously impossible for Uchiha Obito to come back.
It's not because he was brainwashed or used by Uchiha Madara, but because he actually planned to do so when he defected to Uchiha Madara.
Maybe when he had just defected, this young man who had just witnessed his most beloved girl die in the hands of his best friend, and who had no way to release the resentment and pain in his heart, was probably going to destroy the whole world.
Chiba can understand the pain and resentment of seeing the enemy with his own eyes, but being unable to attack him.
It's definitely enough to make a boy who is already full of film-chasing genes have the idea of destroying the whole world.
However, after hearing Uchiha Madara's thoughts later, the two people with similar resentment and pain came to an agreement.
In other words, fulfilling Uchiha Madara's last wish was not something that was forcefully instilled in him by Uchiha Madara. Rather, he intended to do so.
And Obito is by no means the kind of guy who gave up on the plan of more than ten years after being talked to by his former friends a few times.
Out of fear of Uchiha Nobuhiko, Chiba could not tell Obito everything. After all, this matter was irreversible.
Even if he told the truth, it might not be effective judging from Obito's appearance.
In the end, he could only sigh and silently made plans for Uchiha Obito to disrupt the situation.
Of course, now, it is impossible for him to tell Kakashi about this matter. From a rational level, this is something that Kakashi should not know.
From an emotional point of view, after so many years, for more than ten years, Kakashi has not escaped from the shadow of Obito and Lin's death. Although he has cheered up again because of the relationship between his disciples, if he is told Obito is already on the opposite side, and if it is impossible to reverse it, Chiba cannot guarantee how much of a blow it will be to Kakashi this time.
It's better to do this kind of thing when facing old friends by yourself.
Even though, in the original work, Kakashi was finally able to face Obito, but that was just the original work, and the current original character is not as simple as the original character.
At least, if it were according to the original story, Kakashi, Asuma and Metkai wouldn't be sitting here drinking together now.
In the original work, they were not so close as to drink together at a barbecue restaurant. In the original work, what they showed was just the level of their relationship as colleagues. They may have had several experiences of working together and had a certain tacit understanding, but their personal relationship would never be that close.
This is one of the reasons why Chiba believes that the future can be changed. In the past ten years, he has not doubted his theory of future variability time and time again, but he has also been observing constantly. However, from observing Konoha to observing the entire The extent of the ninja world.
Of course, he continued to observe Konoha.
According to observation, he was convinced again and again that the future could be changed, and information about the success of his plan was added to him in disguise.
Yes, after more than ten years of observation, Chiba has become convinced that the future can be changed.
Absolutely absolutely definitely changed.
Moreover, the three people drinking together intimately in front of them is the best proof.
However, this change did not meet his expectations.
But that was enough for him then and now.
"Ahem... So, do you really have to get me drunk before you tell me your true purpose? You specially pestered me for a sparring session today, isn't it to test my or your own strength? It's not for that either. Let your disciples watch a high-level battle to improve their horizons, right?"
At this time, after a series of thoughts passed through his mind, Qianye coughed lightly, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said.
Well……
But this sudden sentence swept away the depression that surged in Kakashi's heart. When he raised his head, he was stunned on the spot.
Not only him, but after seeing the atmosphere gradually getting worse, Asuma and Metkai, who had already begun to think about how to smooth things over, were also stunned and looked at Chiba blankly.
"What's wrong? Am I right?"
In response, Qianye picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for the three of them one by one. After filling another glass for himself, his smile seemed to be even brighter and he said this.
"cough!"
Seeing Chiba's actions and a smile that said "I guessed it right", the three of them coughed awkwardly and politely, hiding the embarrassment on their faces.
Chiba is right.
They are indeed more than just sparring.
It's not as simple as letting their disciples watch a high-level battle, they have a deeper purpose.
Otherwise, he would not have known that after Kakashi invited Chiba alone without telling him, he rushed there with his disciples in a hurry.
On the one hand, they had vaguely learned that Kakashi had a way to contact Chiba during this period. Maybe they had been in contact for more than ten years. They were already quite dissatisfied.
Although Chiba left the village because of the secret mission of the village and pretended to be dead, if no one knew about it, then it would just be the case. There is nothing to say. However, as they are close friends, this matter The thing is, Kakashi knows that he can still talk to Chiba, which makes them very unbalanced.
On the other hand, Kakashi summoning Chiba is already very suspicious, and it is also in such a remote place. The Hokage Rock Statue is inaccessible. Unless there is a new Hokage Rock Statue that needs sculpture, workers will go there. Except, almost no one does it.
This in itself is quite suspicious.
Then, he also brought his disciples with him, which was a bit like Sima Zhao, and everyone on the street knew it.
And they also have disciples, and Kakashi is not the only one who loves his disciples.
Their current disciple is also their most promising young ninja.
On weekdays, it’s okay for Kakashi to always be in the limelight. It’s okay to take a disciple and complete a B-level mission to be in the limelight.
At this time, Qianye came back and let him take the lead. How could they sit still and wait for death when he was still secretly hiding it from them.
Naturally, he took his disciples with him.
It's a good thing, but Kakashi won't be able to take it easy this time.
And this good thing is undoubtedly to let Qianye give guidance to his disciples.
Yes, although they don't know what Kakashi is thinking, what is certain is that Chiba, as the strongest person in the village, is back. It is impossible for Kakashi who is near the water tower not to let Chiba point out his disciples.
Chiba's strength far exceeds his own. Even a little advice is enough to save his disciples from training for a few years. This time, two of Kakashi's disciples entered the final test and showed his face again. There was a moment of brilliance.
If there is Chiba's guidance, then how can his own class catch up with Kakashi's seventh class?
Moreover, judging from the observation just now, Class 7's reaction is obviously faster than that of its own class.
Undoubtedly tempered by B-level missions.
It’s a good thing, but we can’t let Kakashi take all of it!
"So, what do you think?"
Thinking of this, the three of them stopped being secretive. Since Qianye had already guessed it, there was no need to play coy and spoke straightforwardly.
