Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 664: Naruto fights Ninja Master?
"Is it me and Obito who are going to fight in the end? What a tricky ability."

When Kakashi saw Obito win, he subconsciously thought about how to break the Hollow Kamui.

But no matter how much Kakashi thought about it he couldn't come up with a good solution.

Kamui's ability is so strong that he is the type that is difficult to deal with even if you know the information.

"Obito won. I feel your final battle will be very exciting." Nohara Rin said with a smile, crossing her fingers.

She has seen the efforts of Obito and Kakashi in their daily lives, and no matter who wins, she will be happy for them.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it!" Yamato nodded.

After a few months of schooling, I've gotten used to the fights between the students, and now it's a real pleasure to watch ninjas of Kakashi, Might Guy and others fighting each other.

"Don't expect anything without permission, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if you lose miserably." Kakashi sighed slightly.

"Uh, actually I'm not looking forward to it at all." Yamato immediately changed his tone.

"Not at all? That's so sad. In fact, you don't even have me as your senior in your heart." Kakashi sighed heavily.

Yamato:……

So what should he say.

"What a nice day, it feels perfect for eating ramen. If someone treats me to a bowl of ramen, maybe I'll feel better." Kakashi sighed while looking up at the sky.

"I'll treat you later." Yamato said reluctantly.

Since he is not a ninja, Yamato cannot earn money by completing commissioned missions.

His only income now is the living expenses given by Mu Yue.

Mu Yue actually gave quite a lot, but Yamato didn’t feel comfortable taking it all, so he only took a part of it.

That portion was enough for him to live on, and if he was frugal he could even buy some snacks.

For the sake of your senior’s good mood, don’t eat the snacks.

Kakashi's eyes lit up instantly, and he patted Yamato's shoulder with a smile and said, "As expected, Yamato, you are my cutest junior."

Now it was Yamato's turn to look sad. He just hoped that Kakashi could choose a more ordinary ramen restaurant.

Nohara Lin looked at Yamato with some pity, what an innocent child.

This is probably the cause and effect. The future Yamato bullies Kakashi, Kakashi bullies the present Yamato, and then the grown-up Yamato travels through time and bullies little Kakashi.

Seeing that Mu Yue had finished treating Obito, Nohara Rin walked to Obito's side, bent her legs slightly, smiled and stretched out her hand to Obito, saying:
"Congratulations, you are one step closer to your goal."

At this time, Obito was still immersed in the exciting battle that had just happened. When he heard Nohara Rin's voice, he subconsciously looked up and met Nohara Rin's eyes. He was stunned.

He saw the slightly upturned corners of Nohara Lin's eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings, and her eyes that were shining with lively ripples, like two pools of spring water.

"Obito, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Nohara Rin asked in confusion, shaking her arms.

"It's warm." Obito answered subconsciously.

The sunlight leaking through the treetops hit Nohara Lin, flickering on her shoulders, and her whole body seemed to be glowing, a warm light.

It made Obito feel warm all over, even a little hot.

Seeing the smile on Nohara Rin's face gradually turn into confusion, Obito finally realized what he had said. With a slightly red face, he quickly grabbed Nohara Rin's hand and stood up.

"I said it's okay," Obito corrected.

"Don't be so stubborn. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable." Nohara Lin said seriously.

"Yeah." Obito nodded and quickly walked over to sit next to Kakashi.

"That's all for today. The last match will be tomorrow." Mu Yue said.

Under his protection, none of the disciples were seriously injured, but their energy and spirit were greatly depleted and they needed time to recover.

Anyway, Obito and the others didn't have much to do, so there was no rush to end the ranking battle.

Kakashi and Obito both nodded in agreement.

Obito wanted to defeat Kakashi who was in peak condition, and felt that this would give him a greater sense of accomplishment.

Kakashi wouldn't mind having more time to think about tactics.

The ranking battle is temporarily over, but no one leaves the Southern Forest.

Those who are in good condition have already started practicing, while those who cannot practice are chatting or asking Mu Yue for advice on practice.

It was not until noon that Mu Yue left for something and the disciples also needed to have lunch, so they dispersed.

"Just this one."

Kakashi randomly picked a ramen restaurant that looked decent in the commercial street and walked in with Yamato.

The first thing Yamato looked at when he entered was the menu posted on the wall.

"Vegetable ramen is 65 taels, pork bone ramen is 60 taels..." Yamato breathed a sigh of relief. He could still afford this price.

"Maybe Kakashi-senpai has been to this store before and came here knowing the prices are cheap."

Yamato felt a little touched and smiled.

"Give me a big bowl of miso pork special ramen." Kakashi shouted to the boss.

Yamato's expression became stiff. This bowl of noodles was the most expensive in the store, costing eighty taels per portion.

"By the way, give me another egg," Kakashi added.

The little touch of emotion in Yamato's heart began to crack, as an extra egg would cost five taels.

"Yamato, what are you eating?" Kakashi turned to Yamato and asked.

Yamato took one look at the rice that only cost 15 taels, and finally replied, "I'll have one serving of fried noodles."

It is a bit strange to eat only white rice in the middle of the day. Although fried noodles are twenty-five taels more expensive than rice, they are still suitable as lunch.

After finishing the meal, Yamato shakily took out 125 ryo from his small wallet and handed it to the ramen shop owner.

His monthly living expenses were two thousand taels, and this meal cost him one hundred and twenty-five taels, which was really heartbreaking.

Looking at Yamato with a conflicted look on his face, Kakashi raised the corner of his mouth slightly. There would be a price to pay for hitting him on the head.

"Are you busy next?" Kakashi asked Yamato.

"Not busy." Yamato said honestly.

In order to watch the civil war among his predecessors, he rejected all invitations from his classmates and friends.

"Then come with me to the ninja tool shop, I need to replenish some ninja tools." Kakashi continued.

Yamato subconsciously protected the small wallet behind his back.

"You don't need to buy any ninja tools. What kind of ninja tools can you buy with your little money?"

Yamato finally let go of his worries.

"Senior Kakashi, do you want to buy ninja tools for me?"

Yamato nodded expectantly and went to the ninja tool shop with Kakashi.

Twenty minutes later, Yamato came out of the Ninja Tool Shop with a frown on his face, carrying a large bag. It turned out that he was asked to help carry the things.

After Yamato delivered the things to Kakashi's house, he said goodbye with a straight face: "Kakashi-senpai, I'm going back."

"Here, it's your reward for helping me carry the things." Kakashi took out 250 ryo and handed it to Yamato. How could he really spend the money of a child who had no earning power? He was just teasing Yamato.

Yamato showed a look of surprise, then turned it into a smile.

Senior Kakashi really took special care of him!
……

After leaving the Southern Forest, Mu Yue went to the conference room of the Hokage Building to attend a high-level meeting.

"The attitude of the Ninja Clan is very strange now. They are very tough. Even with the addition of the Rain Village, they can barely gather two thousand ninjas at most." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Since the failure of Orochimaru's negotiation mission, Sarutobi Hiruzen has mobilized a large number of intelligence forces to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Ninja Clan.

He not only investigated the Land of Rain, but also small countries like the Land of Birds where Shinobi from the Shinobi Clan were active.

The more Sarutobi Hiruzen investigated, the more he felt that the Ninja Clan was using a strategy of confusing the enemy, because he had no idea where the Ninja Clan's confidence came from.

We can't just rely on Sosuke.

Sosuke is definitely capable and can defeat Hanzo using Fire Release.

But a strong man alone cannot change the situation of a battle, unless that strong man is called Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha.

When Konoha went to war with the Ninja Clan, the best outcome for Sosuke was to escape alone relying on his own strength.

Konoha was not afraid of retaliation from Sosuke who had escaped.

This is the foundation of the Great Ninja Village. There are too many secret techniques in Konoha.

If Sosuke dares to take revenge, Sarutobi Hiruzen will be able to gather an elite team to surround and kill Sosuke.

"Maybe they are betting that we will play it safe and not start a war at this time," Mitomon Yan analyzed.

Mizuto Kado En had to admit that the Ninja Clan made the right bet. He didn't know what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, but Mizuto Kado En really didn't want to start another war.

If you want to safely eliminate the Ninja Clan, you must assemble a ninja force of at least 1,500 people.

During this period, it would be difficult to conceal such a major move from the other four major ninja villages.

"Could it be that the Iwagakure Village is still determined to do evil and is secretly supporting the Ninja Clan?" said Utane Koharu.

She remembered that Iwagakure had cooperation with the Shinobi Clan. Perhaps the Shinobi Clan was specifically supported by Iwagakure to disgust Konoha.

"That shouldn't be the case. If the Shinobi Clan and Iwagakure are on the same front, there's no reason why the Shinobi Clan wouldn't come to the final battle of the Grass Country."

When Mu Yue saw that Utatane Koharu started to talk about conspiracy, she stood up and spoke for herself.

It doesn’t really matter whether you say it or not, the main thing is you’re just sitting around doing nothing anyway.

"Mu Yue is right. The Ninja Clan is generally a neutral force." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed.

This is also one of the reasons why he just wants Sosuke to die.

Sarutobi Hiruzen actually didn't hate the Ninja Clan. If Sosuke had killed someone other than Danzo Shimura but just a Jonin, he would have let it go.

Unfortunately, there is no "if" in reality. Whether for the sake of Konoha's reputation or out of personal grudges, this matter cannot be easily covered up.

"Otherwise, we can throw the matter of 'Uchiha Madara' out there and say that we have found new clues and started a new investigation. We can deal with this matter when the time is right." Mitomon En said after thinking for a while.

This would save Konoha's reputation and would also make it easier to take action later.

"I think it's okay to remain silent and ignore it for now. After all these years of war, no one in the ninja world doesn't know the strength of Konoha." said Utane Koharu.

The number of commissions from Konoha has increased dramatically recently, and commissions from various countries in the ninja world are pouring into Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment and then said: "This matter is serious and must be resolved as soon as possible."

"Change the negotiation conditions to a battle. After the battle, no matter what the result is, Konoha will not hold the Ninja Clan responsible."

"Appoint a fight to kill Sosuke? He is quite strong, who should we send?" Mizuto Kado En asked with a slight frown.

Sosuke's reputation is well known, and even if the three ninjas are dispatched, the probability of completing the mission is very small.

"I." Sarutobi Hiruzen said lightly.

Given Sosuke's battle record, none of the three ninjas are suitable, it can only be him or Mu Yue.

Mitokado En and Utane Koharu were both stunned.

"Hruzen, don't be impulsive. You are the Hokage and a single move could affect the entire body. How can you leave the village to fight for something like this?" Mito Kado En hurriedly advised.

He didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he was actually ready to do it himself.

"I understand what you're thinking. I also want to avenge Danzo, but we can't be impulsive in revenge. How about we gather the ninja troops to attack the Ninja Clan?" Utane Koharu followed.

Instead of having Sarutobi Hiruzen personally fight Sosuke, Utane Koharu thinks it is not a bad idea to gather the ninja troops.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Why worry so much? Is there any ninja in the ninja world who dares to say that he can definitely beat me?"

In fact, he was not as impulsive as the two advisors thought. This was a solution that Sarutobi Hiruzen came up with after careful consideration.

He doesn't need to assemble troops to start a war, and he can perfectly utilize his own strength to avenge Shimura Danzo personally.

Of course, as a Hokage, such behavior is indeed a bit willful.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen was very grateful to Mu Yue, because it was Mu Yue who gave him the capital to be willful.

With Mu Yue around, Konoha's rise is inevitable and will not change because of any accident that happens to anyone.

Finally, he is confident in his own strength. He is a ninjutsu professor who has mastered thousands of ninjutsu secrets. He has defeated countless geniuses in his life.

"Third generation, this is a bit inappropriate." Mu Yue also advised.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen really wanted to challenge him, he would only end up in disgrace.

Although there are many reasons why Sarutobi Hiruzen is so good to him, good is good, and Mu Yue doesn't want to trouble Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You don't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

He still remembers the last words that Danzo Shimura left for Mu Yue, and the appearance of Danzo Shimura.

Although Danzo Shimura did a lot of wrong things, his ultimate goal was to protect Konoha.

He didn't want to let Sosuke, who killed Danzo Shimura, go, nor did he want to affect Konoha's development plan, so taking action himself became the best option.

"Huruzen, you can't act on your own." Mitomon En was a little anxious.

"Yes, if you are not satisfied, we can continue to discuss it. There is no need to be so radical. How about letting Mu Yue go?" Tsutomu Koharu followed.

"As the Hokage, my power is unlimited! There is no need to discuss this matter further." Sarutobi Hiruzen said domineeringly.

He held this meeting to inform Mitomon Yan and the others, not to have a real discussion.

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the conference room and returned to the Hokage's office.

Sitting in his office chair, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

He is so willful now that even he himself is unfamiliar with it. He was not so impulsive even when he was eighteen years old.

Perhaps it was the bright future of Konoha that was visible to the naked eye that gave him the confidence.

dong dong.

The wooden door of the Hokage's office rang, and the consultant knocked on the door and entered the office, continuing to persuade earnestly: "Huruzen you..."

It may also be because Konoha has forever lost an assistant who entered the Hokage's office without knocking.
