The information in Itachi's mind flashed by, and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he temporarily suppressed it.

The three of them didn't say much, they quickly left the place and found a place to rest.

Nothing happened in the night, and the next day, the three of them rushed all the way back to Konoha.

Konoha, Hokage building, Meeting Room.

Kakashi and Itachi stood side by side, acting as guards of the door to the meeting room.

There was a problem between the Land of Fire and the Land of Forest, so Sandaime and Danzo are discussing about it.

"Itachi, are you used to Anbu's life now?"

"It's okay, but it's not as expected."

"Oh? Are you talking about the missions?"

"Yes, originally I thought that Anbu's missions would be full of blood."

"Well, you have to know that right now is not the war period, so there is not much assassination missions."

"I see."

"Protecting Sandaime-sama is also one of Anbu's missions."

Just then, the door to the meeting room opened.

Sandaime then walk out of the meeting room.

"Kakashi, for the peace negotiations with the Land of Forest, I have sent a team to go there, but Danzo thinks that the Land of Forest has some ulterior motives, so he wants to send another team for backup."

Kakashi pondered for a moment and said: "So this is not your intention?"

Sandaime sighed and said, "Listen to what Danzo says."

After that, Sandaime leave the meeting room.

At this time, Danzo's gloomy voice came from the meeting room.

"Although it seems that we and the Land of Forest are going to do peace negotiations to exchange information on the border, I don't think it is so simple. It is probably their trap. On this point, Sandaime also agreed."

Kakashi stood at the door without looking back, thinking in his heart.

'Land of Forest has not been very happy with Konoha recently, and the general public in the Land of Forest is also a shinobi group with great strength. For them to send such shinobi for the exchange information, I'm afraid that they really have ulterior motive.

Moreover, this time the one Konoha sent to the peace negotiations is Guy.

If something unexpected happened to Guy, I am afraid…'

"Kakashi, you're going to be the backup this time, if they tried to do something…" Danzo said, opening his left eye, and the cold light flickered: "You will annihilate them all. Konoha does not allow anyone to betray us."

"Understood, I will go with Itachi as a two-person team."

"Okay."

"Then, good bye."

Kakashi finished speaking, and starting to leave.

But at this time, Danzo suddenly said: "Kakashi, I appreciate your Ability, I hope you can come to the Root."

Kakashi was slightly surprised and then whispered: "Thank you for your kindness Danzo-sama, but I already am satisfied to be at the Anbu. You overestimate me."

"No, your Ability is definitely more suitable for the Root, whether it is the mind or the darkness in your heart. I believe that you will grow better at the Root."

Kakashi did not answer, he just turned and left.

Itachi was little surprised, but he still followed after Kakashi.

Danzo took his eyes back and his face was low.

"Humph, Hatake Kakashi, let me see how much stronger you are now. Damn Uchiha, getting in the way."

At the gate of Konoha, Kakashi and Itachi are standing at the top of the Konoha Gate.

Below them are Guy and his team who have accepted the mission and are preparing to set off.

At this moment, Guy is already a Jōnin, so he is the one leading in this mission.

It's just that Guy is too spirited, and in many cases it is not good if he performs missions alone.

It's not that Guy's IQ is not enough, but that he will directly ignore many small details.

Speaking of it, Kakashi hasn't practiced with Guy for a long time, and he doesn't know how far Guy's progress at the Eight Gates Technique right now.

Originally, Kakashi thought that he would be able to open the seventh gate after all his training, but he did not expect that the bottleneck from the sixth to seventh gate was so large.

This time, it is no longer a problem with the quality of his physique. It is more about talent, the talent for Taijutsu.

What Kakashi has to admit is that on Taijutsu, his talent is really not comparable to Guy's.

"Yosh! Let the flame of youth burn, let's set off together!"

Guy yelled, then rushed forward, leaving his team as he disappeared to the distance

Seeing this, the remaining three people were taken aback and shouted, "Captain Guy! Wait!"

It is estimated that the three of them did not expect to meet such a captain, and in desperation, they hurriedly followed after Guy.

"Senpai, they don't seem to know the real purpose of exchanging information this time."

"Ah, this kind of thing is only known to Konoha's top council, and we who have accepted the mission. Itachi, politics is very troublesome. If you don't want to get into trouble, it is better to not ask such a thing. It's better to have enough strength before you involve yourself in the vortex of politics. If not, it will be hard for you."

After hearing this, Itachi is thinking about it, but there was a bit of bitterness in his heart.

'Even if I don't want to get involved in this kind of politics, I'm afraid I'm also involved now.'

The village and the Uchiha Clan didn't want to give up.

The war is too terrifying, and I will never let the village fall into war again.

When he is still small, Itachi had witnessed the cruelty of war with his own eyes, so he had an instinctive rejection of war.

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes! Senpai."

Inside the forest.

Above the bonfire, there was a big iron pot, and the contents were full of aroma.

"Ah! It's so delicious, Husuke, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Haha, eat more if you like."

The one called Husuke is a silver-haired old man with a very kind face. It is said that he has performed missions with Sandaime in the past, but he has always been a Genin, which is why he was called Eternal Genin.

But everyone who has worked with him knows that this old man is not only strong, but also very good in other aspects, such as cooking.

Sandaime also know Husuke's ability, otherwise, he would never send a Genin to this kind of mission.

At this time, another shinobi asked: "Captain, I think it is not good. This bonfire is too big, what if it is discovered by the enemy and we are attacked?"

Kay suppressed his usual expression and said seriously, "It would be great if they attack us. Our mission this time is probably not as simple as exchanging information. It should be more about checking about whether the Land of Forest is hostile or not. ""

The three of them were taken aback when they heard Guy's words, and said: "Captain, What do you mean by this?"

"Hahaha, it doesn't mean anything, everyone hurry up and eat."

Seeing Guy didn't say anything, the three of them didn't ask much.

Above the big trees not far away, Kakashi and Itachi are secretly protecting Guy and his team.

Hearing Guy's words, Itachi was a little surprised and said: "Senpai, I didn't expect that man could guess the about that even though he didn't know the real purpose of this mission."

"Well, Guy may seem to be very simple, but he is not stupid. Otherwise, Sandaime-sama will not send him to execute this mission."

Kakashi is a good friend of Guy for many years, naturally knows that although this person looks very stupid, he is smart. Absolutely better than ordinary people.

His simplicity is just his attitude in life, and if people think that Guy is a fool, they are wrong.

If he was a fool, how could he become a Jōnin?

It should be known that to become a Jōnin, they need more than strength.

Even Naruto whose power is the strongest in the Shinobi world after the end of the war must increase his knowledge first if he wants to become a Jōnin.

In the world of shinobi, Strength is important, but if their IQ is not enough, it will be easy for them to be fooled by others.

Just like Nagato, Obito, and Uchiha Madara!
