"Kakashi, what... what are you doing?" At this moment, Might Guy saw Kakashi do something that baffled him.
Because Kakashi was taking off the Konohagakure headband wrapped around his head.
Kakashi, who had taken off the Konohagakure headband, stared at the headband in his hand.
In response to Guy's confusion, Kakashi replied, "Why do I need the village when the village doesn't need me? Maybe that's life, I've lost my purpose."
A simple two sentences left Guy frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
He hurriedly grabbed Kakashi's shoulders with both hands, shook Kakashi vigorously, trying to wake Kakashi up.
Guy hurriedly shouted, "Kakashi! Cheer up! Don't commit suicide! If you... if you want to commit suicide, I can only go with you!"
"Although the village's treatment of you is indeed very excessive, you can't end your life in this way!"
It must be said that Guy is indeed Kakashi's best friend.
"Idiot! Stop it! You're going to make me dizzy!" Kakashi couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, "When did I say I wanted to commit suicide?"
"Huh? Didn't you say you lost your purpose?" Guy was stunned, he scratched his head awkwardly.
Kakashi sighed, "What I mean is... 'Konohagakure Anbu Jonin Hatake Kakashi' should no longer exist in this world. You need to understand, he and 'Hatake Kakashi' are different."
Guy was confused.
Because Kakashi's words were too hard to understand.
"Anyway, I don't want to be a Konohagakure ninja anymore." Kakashi made a shocking statement, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and he forcefully broke the metal-made Konohagakure headband in half.
Guy: "!!!"
Don't want to be a Konohagakure ninja?
Looking at the damaged headband in Kakashi's hand, Guy hurriedly wanted to say something.
But he was interrupted by Kakashi in advance, "Guy, this is a decision I made after careful consideration. Let me give you an example, if you are a samurai, you haven't done anything wrong, but the Daimyo you are loyal to wants to kill you."
"In this situation, are you still going to be loyal to that Daimyo? Maybe there are such blindly loyal people in the ninja world, but obviously, I am not one of them."
Guy fell silent.
He also felt that the village was very excessive, although he didn't know whether this matter had anything to do with the Third Hokage, but at least he could be sure that it was related to the Konohagakure root.
The Konohagakure root involves two of the four higher-ups in Konohagakure, namely Mitokado Homura and Shimura Danzo.
Is there a difference between involving two Konohagakure higher-ups and involving the Third Hokage?
The four higher-ups of Konohagakure are all in the same boat.
As Kisame said, even if they go to them for an explanation...
I'm afraid they won't be able to get any explanation.
The last person who was framed by the higher-ups was Uchiha Shisui.
Now, has Shimura Danzo, who framed Uchiha Shisui, received real punishment?
No!
The Third Hokage just raised the big board high, and then gently put it down.
Guy is indeed very straightforward.
But it doesn't mean he is a fool.
"Kakashi, you know the village's rules." Guy said, "As a Konohagakure Jonin, if you choose not to be a Konohagakure ninja like this, you will be judged as a rogue ninja."
"Guy, if I become a rogue ninja from Konohagakure, would you capture me or even kill me for Konohagakure?" Kakashi suddenly asked.
A soulful question left Guy silent once again.
Would he kill a friend who didn't want to be a ninja for Konohagakure?
Guy immediately came up with an answer.
He earnestly said to Kakashi, "I will only do what's right. As long as you haven't done anything wrong, I definitely won't sever our friendship."
"When that time comes, even the command of Hokage-sama won't be able to sever our bond! Because you haven't done anything wrong, those who are not guilty of death should not die!"
"Moreover..."
Guy slapped Kakashi's shoulder hard, his face serious but tears streaming down, "I will never stand by and watch you fall into darkness, even if you don't want to be a ninja! The passion surging within me will never allow me to watch a friend be corrupted by darkness!"
"But..."
Guy quickly thought of a problem, "If you don't want to be a ninja from Konohagakure, what do you want to do?"
"...I don't know." Kakashi shook his head, "Take one step at a time!"
After the anchor of the "Will of Fire" dissipated in Kakashi's heart, the will to protect Konohagakure also disappeared from Kakashi.
He didn't know why, but he felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted off him.
Kakashi, who had made his decision, would not turn back.
Although Kakashi had feelings for Konohagakure...
It doesn't mean he's stupid.
Konohagakure's higher-ups wanted to take his life. Knowing that he was helpless against them, if he still stayed in Konohagakure, his father's suicide would have taught him nothing.
Kakashi didn't want to find the Third Hokage, let alone Shimura Danzo or Mitokado Homura, to ask for clarity.
Because there's no need, even if he asked for clarity, what could he do?
Could he make the Third Hokage harden his heart and kill any one of Mitokado Homura or Shimura Danzo?
If it's related to the Third Hokage, could he make the Third Hokage harden his heart and commit suicide?
What a joke!
Having followed Sarutobi Hiruzen for many years, Kakashi knew Sarutobi Hiruzen's character very well.
He knew with his butt that he was just the second Uchiha Shisui.
Putting everything on the table and tearing off the face, there's no use.
It would only make everything stiff.
"But, Kakashi... if you're not a ninja from Konohagakure, wouldn't you be unable to go back to the Jonin single apartment?" Guy scratched his head.
"Well, I'll go back to my real home!" Kakashi shook his head, "Although it hasn't been cleaned up for several years, I'll have to hire a few people to clean it up."
Just then, Kisame next to him suddenly showed a smile, "Kakashi, I have a good place here."
Kakashi was stunned.
"Kakashi, this is not the first time I've invited you to join the Whitebeard Pirates," Kisame said, his smile seemingly friendly, but combined with his sharp teeth and bloodshot eyes, it looked rather ferocious.
Kisame continued, "Pops really likes you, Kakashi! I remember Pops has invited you no less than ten times, right?"
"You've almost always refused Pops on the grounds that you're a 'Konohagakure ninja', this time... do you have any other reasons to refuse?"
Kisame's smile grew wider, "You don't want to be a Konohagakure ninja, do you want to be a free and easy pirate?"
"The most important point is... pirates who are free and easy on the sea won't harm their subordinates for no reason!"
Kisame said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, you've been with Pops for a longer time... maybe even longer than me, right?"
"What kind of person is Pops, I think you might understand better than me? Pops likes you so much, maybe he's been keeping a position of a division commander in the Whitebeard Pirates for you, Kakashi!"
Kisame's words left Kakashi standing in place.
Because the Whitebeard Pirates is not a bad place to be.
As Kisame said, Kakashi knows Whitebeard very well, and understands the Whitebeard Pirates even better.
Although he is not Whitebeard's son, Kakashi has witnessed the family atmosphere of the Whitebeard Pirates.
It's an atmosphere that even he envies.
However, if he joins the Whitebeard Pirates, does that mean he's officially a "Konohagakure rogue ninja"?
But on second thought, even if he is, so what?
Would Konohagakure dare to attack a member of the Whitebeard Pirates?
Even Kakashi had to admit that in terms of leadership ability and personal charm... Whitebeard is hundreds of times stronger than the Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu.
If the Hokage of Konohagakure was Whitebeard.
Could the root still jump around?
Kakashi was silent for a long time, and finally, he responded softly, "Let me think about it..."
Kisame's smile grew even brighter.
Because in the past, Kakashi would directly and decisively refuse.
But now, Kakashi actually said he wanted to think about it.
This already shows that Kakashi is actually moved.
It's just that there's a little bit of pride in Kakashi's heart.
But that's okay.
Kisame believes that Pops' personal charm and the family atmosphere of the Whitebeard Pirates will eventually win over Hatake Kakashi.
Even, Kisame dares to say - ninety percent of the people in the ninja world can't resist Pops' personal charm.
Kisame believes that Kakashi is one of those people in the ninety percent!
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Kisame felt something was not quite right.
His reaction was also seen by Guy and Kakashi.
"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked.
Kisame replied, "It seems... someone is watching us from a distance. Probably in the east direction, don't look over there, they will discover us."
Guy was shocked, "Someone is watching us? Could it be those root people, they still won't give up?"
Guy gritted his teeth and was furious, "Do those guys really want to kill Kakashi?"
Kisame shook his head, "It's not necessarily the people from Konohagakure root. But... we can quietly go over and see who the rat in the sewer is."
Kisame laughed menacingly, "Just now, those few Root ninjas didn't even let me have a good time, and another 'enemy' has come!"
"Tsk, Konohagakure, it really is a good place!"
Kisame, Guy, and Kakashi quickly exchanged glances.
Their hands hidden from the prying eyes of the observer.
Each of them clapped their hands.
"Clone Jutsu!"
...
"Well, well, well... 'Madara-sama', it seems that the Root of Konohagakure has failed!"
In the distance, Tobi held a telescope from who knows where, and said to Obito in a strange tone, "Seven Root ninjas were all killed by Hoshigaki Kisame, Hatake Kakashi, and Might Guy. They couldn't even hold on for ten minutes!"
"But I don't know what they're saying. But if we send a White Zetsu to eavesdrop on them, they'll probably discover it in a minute, after all, they're very powerful!" Tobi lamented.
"Hmph! Shimura Danzo is as useless as trash! The Root of Konohagakure is as useless as trash! It's better if I do it myself!" Obito's expression under the mask was not very good.
He gave out a Sharingan as a deposit, and perhaps promised a reward of ten Sharingans.
As a result, is this how that old thing Danzo does business?
Is this how he cooperates?
"It's strange!" Tobi said, "I saw Hatake Kakashi take off and break the Konohagakure forehead protector, and Might Guy seemed to have a big reaction, and Hoshigaki Kisame seemed to say something to Kakashi."
"But the distance is too far, I can't even read their lip language. 'Madara-sama', the telescope you bought, its quality is not very good!"
"How much did it cost? Were you cheated by the peddler?"
Tobi talked incessantly.
And he was very annoying.
"...Shut up!" Obito couldn't help but blush.
He turned the topic back to Kakashi, "Kakashi, this guy can't just break the Konohagakure forehead protector at will, what's the deep meaning behind this?"
No matter how Obito thought about it, he couldn't figure out that Kakashi had completely lost hope in Konohagakure village.
Flap flap--
Suddenly, a crow flying over from a distance caught the attention of Obito and Tobi.
The two of them looked up at the same time.
They found that the sudden crow was looking down at them with its head down.
Obito's pupils shrank under the mask, "Something's wrong!"
Bang!
Suddenly, a puff of white smoke came out of the crow on the top of the head, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a human shape.
The bloodthirsty voice of Kisame, full of killing intent, rang out, "Tsk tsk, the application range of Observation Haki is really wide! There really are two gutter rats!"
Kisame descended from the sky and landed in front of Obito and Tobi.
The distance between the two sides was less than five meters.
Kisame, carrying the big sword Samehada, looked at the two people in front of him with interest, "Red cloud and black robe... Is it the Akatsuki again?"
Kisame's eyes were filled with blood, "You guys, you really are like a ghost!"
"The proud Green Beast of Konohagakure! Make a dazzling appearance! Hahaha!" A figure leaped high into the air, also descending from the sky, and slammed heavily onto the roof.
Obito and Tobi turned around.
They found a thick-browed ninja blocking their way.
"That familiar mask, is it you again, the guy who calls himself 'Uchiha Madara'?" With a "whoosh", Kakashi also appeared here.
He also blocked a path for Obito and Tobi.
Obito's signature outfit is no longer a secret in many people's eyes.
Especially his mask, it's too recognizable.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly, "What are you two guys doing here watching us? What is your connection with Konohagakure's root?"
"Ah? Damn it!"
Tobi scratched the back of his head and said to Obito next to him, "'Madara-sama', we can be discovered by them from so far away, their perception ability is amazing!"
"Eh?" Tobi realized belatedly, "Doesn't that mean that the three people in the alley are actually clones?"
"'Madara-sama', it's bad! We've been played! Oh no, my poop is about to be scared out by them. Oh! I don't have poop, so it's okay."
Tobi's weird words made Kisame, Kakashi, and Guy all frown.
They always felt that this guy was a bit mentally ill.
"Shut up! Idiot! You're going to make me lose face!" Obito scolded Tobi with a dark face.
Then, one eye wandered around the three people who surrounded him.
Being discovered by Kakashi and them, and being directly approached.
This was something Obito didn't expect.
One second ago, he still wanted to analyze what Kakashi and them were saying, but the next second he was surrounded.
"If I remember correctly, on the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination... it was you who cooperated with Uchiha Itachi, right?"
Kakashi squinted his eyes, "I heard that that night, many of the Sharingan of the deceased of the Uchiha clan were missing."
Wait!
Kakashi reacted, he suddenly connected everything together.
The Sharingan of the deceased of the Uchiha clan are all missing.
Several root ninjas want to kill him, Kakashi, to take the Sharingan.
Is there some connection during this period?
Now this guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara suddenly appears, is he cooperating with the root to take his eyes?
Just like a while ago when he took a large number of Sharingan from Uchiha?
Kakashi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
His two eyes and Obito's one eye looked at each other.
Kakashi asked the other party a soul question, "The person who wants to take my eyes is not a root ninja, but you 'Uchiha Madara', right? Just like when you and Uchiha Itachi cooperated to forcibly take so many Sharingan?"
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
Obito, who was surrounded by three people, had no panic on his face, but instead clapped his hands with interest.
Obito's slightly hoarse voice let out a sigh of admiration, "Interesting, as expected of the son of White Fang! I thought you were an incurable fool who only reads erotic novel all day, but I didn't expect that you are quite smart."
"Hehe." Obito chuckled softly, "Hatake Kakashi, your eyes are very special, more special than many of the eyes of the Uchiha clan, I am indeed very interested in your eyes."
Facing Kakashi, Obito's expression was somewhat complicated.
But all the complicated expressions were hidden under his mask.
At this time, Guy's angry voice rang out, "Damn it! So you are the mastermind who wants to kill Kakashi!"
Guy felt that the masked man in front of him was the culprit who made Kakashi not want to be a ninja!
And this guy wants to kill Kakashi!
How can he not be angry?
Kisame said, "Kakashi, Guy, there's no need to waste words with him. Capture him and interrogate him, then everything will be clear."
Kisame smirked, "I heard Pops say, a member of the Akatsuki who calls himself 'Uchiha Madara', his strange 'intangibility' ability, has a big flaw."
When Kisame's words fell, Obito's face suddenly changed.
"This flaw is - when 'Uchiha Madara' wants to attack, his 'intangibility' ability will fail."
Kisame, in front of everyone,
Spoke out Obito's weakness.
