"Yo, Kakashi!" "Kakashi-sensei." Both Guy and Takemi saw Kakashi, and they both waved at him. "You're here." Kakashi walked over, holding his little orange book, glanced at Lee in the distance, and then smiled. "Not bad, this kid is very much like you." "Of course!" Guy gave a thumbs-up, then he beckoned the curious Lee over and pointed at Kakashi, laughing heartily. "Lee, this is my eternal rival, Kakashi, and also Takemi's sensei. He's an amazing guy!" "Kakashi-sensei, hello!" Lee was full of energy. He immediately bowed to Kakashi, looking very serious. Then, he secretly glanced at Takemi. After all, Takemi was practically a campus legend. And not with a good reputation. But his sensei seemed very familiar with Takemi? "Hello." Kakashi smiled and nodded. Especially seeing Lee and Guy's similar attire, he sincerely congratulated him. "Congratulations, Guy. You finally got your application approved and found a suitable disciple. Clearly, he's more suitable for you than Takemi." "..." Lee blinked in confusion, and Guy pursed his lips, but he quickly patted Lee's shoulder and laughed. "Of course, Lee and I are both geniuses of effort! Takemi is like you back then, a true genius, but I believe Lee will work hard to catch up, just like me!" "I will definitely not disappoint sensei!" Hearing Guy's affirmation, Lee was instantly thrilled, looking at Guy with tears in his eyes. And Guy was also infected by the power of youth, equally teary-eyed. "Lee!" "Guy-sensei!" As they spoke, the two actually hugged each other. "..." Takemi and Kakashi immediately shivered. They didn't know if it was because the two had too strong an aura, but both Takemi and Kakashi felt like they were under a Genjutsu. They both seemed to see sunshine, beaches, and the sea... "Hiss!" Takemi subconsciously took a step back, looking at Kakashi with a suspicious expression. "Guy-sensei... Was he always like this?" "...Why do I feel like you're thinking something impolite?" Kakashi looked at Takemi with his signature nonchalant eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't seen this before. You've trained with him for a long time, right?" "I have, but I always avoided it." Takemi chuckled mischievously. Kakashi suddenly spoke, "Putting that aside, you need to get ready. We might have another mission." "New mission?" Takemi was a little confused. Kakashi nodded and said, "There's new intelligence. Traces of the Akatsuki have been found in the Land of Wind. Now, Hokage-sama is consulting with the Kazekage. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be departing in a few days." "Is that so?" Takemi raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect that old guy Danzo to be so efficient. And hearing the news about the Land of Wind, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised himself. The Land of Wind is a good place! [Obtained a new side mission] Just as Takemi was thinking, his system suddenly popped up. [We All Have a Bright Future] [Go to the Land of Wind to assist Kakashi and Guy in completing the mission] [Accept?] Seeing this mission, he was stunned for a moment. It seemed this operation was going to be interesting again. "Yes, just be prepared anyway." Kakashi didn't know what Takemi was thinking. He smiled and said, "The tentative personnel are me, you, and we also plan to temporarily transfer Guy to join us." "Guy-sensei?" Takemi turned to look at Guy, who was currently hugging Lee, raising an eyebrow. He asked, "Isn't Guy-sensei supposed to be taking students? Where are Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama?" Kakashi explained in a low voice, "Jiraiya-sama has other matters to attend to, and Tsunade-sama needs to familiarize herself with the current medical department." "As for Guy, the student matter can wait a bit. After all, Guy encountered those Akatsuki members with us. Having him there is best." "Is that so?" Takemi nodded. Indeed, Guy was a god-like figure who could inexplicably handle Hidan. With him there, it shouldn't be a big problem. "Alright, don't worry." Kakashi patted Takemi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Whatever problems there are, we can solve them. Besides, ever since you joined us, our luck has been pretty good, hasn't it?" Kakashi was certain that his luck had changed. Every time he thought of his relatives and close friends leaving him before his eyes, and his helplessness, his heart was always filled with immense sadness. But ever since he took on Takemi everything had changed. It was highly likely that he himself would end up in the hospital for various reasons. But at least, he didn't have to face that kind of painful separation. If he could trade, he would rather enter the hospital several more times. After chatting for a few minutes, Kakashi and Takemi said goodbye to Guy, and then they left. "Guy-sensei, you're going on a mission?" After Takemi and Kakashi left, Lee finally asked curiously. "Yeah." Guy nodded and showed Lee his white teeth. "Although it's a bit unexpected, it's no big deal. I'll be back soon." "Can't you take us?" Lee was a little hopeful. Unfortunately, Guy shook his head and said, "Sorry, this mission was designated by Hokage-sama. I'm afraid I can't take you." Lee asked, "Then why can Takemi-senpai participate?" "Takemi..." Hearing Lee's question, Guy paused for a moment, and finally smiled and shook his head. It wasn't that Takemi's matters couldn't be discussed, but he didn't want to tell Lee now. After all, Takemi's history since becoming a ninja, for a newly graduated Genin like Lee, was simply too much of a shock. — — — "Konoha has taken action?" Inside the Amegakure base, Pain looked at Obito and Zetsu before him, frowning and saying in a deep voice. "Is that Takemi part of the action team?" "He naturally is. After all, he has never missed any mission of this kind." Obito nodded, his voice also turning cold. Speaking of Takemi, his heart felt heavy. After all, he hated that annoying brat. "Is that so?" Pain nodded and pondered for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Who is there this time? If the personnel aren't enough, I want to go to the Land of Wind." As he spoke, a cold aura permeated the air, clearly showing that he also hated Takemi deeply. Yahiko's body was shattered, something he couldn't accept. If he had the chance, he wanted to go. However, he also gave Obito some face. At least he and that half-white, half-black face brought Yahiko's body back, so saying something was definitely the right thing to do. "Still quite calm." Black Zetsu felt relieved when he heard this. If it were before, Nagato probably wouldn't have spoken at all. But he didn't want Nagato to act recklessly, so he immediately spoke, "I think it's best if neither of you takes action." "How so?" Nagato, hidden behind the scenes, frowned. Black Zetsu continued, "This time, we lured Takemi and the others out by using Danzo. That guy is the one who has been constantly probing our intelligence." "And, I believe you shouldn't be unfamiliar with him, right?" Pain didn't speak, but the killing intent in his eyes suddenly surged. How could he be unfamiliar with this person? "But to deal with him, we would need to enter Konoha. It's not that we can't do it, but it would cause great trouble, since he is a high-ranking Konoha official." Black Zetsu continued to make things up, but what he said was basically the truth. "To deal with him, first he needs to believe that the intelligence we provide is true. This way, we can slowly use false intelligence to lure him out." "This operation is actually primarily orchestrated by him. We absolutely cannot expose ourselves here." Black Zetsu's words made both Nagato and Obito fall silent.
