Konoha Village.

The dazzling sunlight bleached the road, and the noisy cicadas were lingering and endlessly. A gust of hot wind blew, like a sandstorm, making people feel depressed and stuffy.

At the end of June.

It is the hottest and most difficult season of the year again.

You can wear more clothes when it’s cold, but you can’t peel it when it’s hot... Of course, this kind of thing varies from person to person to person. Some people are afraid of heat, so naturally some people are even more afraid of the cold and cannot be beaten to death with one blow.

"The sun is so sunny today, I don't want to go out."

At Ganli Gan Bake Ball Shop, Asma lay on the table with a tired look on his face and sternly rejected Akai's invitation.

"Isn't you really not going? Wearing the scorching sun, sweating on the track, this is youth!" Akai persuaded unwillingly.

However, looking at Akai who was full of vitality, with a bright smile, and her white teeth reflected a dazzling light, Asma felt like she was watching a big stove, which was even hotter. He shook his head vigorously, "No, I'm very tired in training recently, and I really have no strength. By the way, haven't seen you exercise with Kakashi recently?"

He quickly changed the subject so that the overblooded Akaila would not go out and sweat together on the track... The beautiful scene was just shuddering when I thought about it.

When Kakashi was lifted, Akai's smile suddenly faded and he lowered his shoulder listlessly.

"I haven't seen Kakashi in the past two months." His voice sounded aggrieved.

"You said that... I feel like I haven't seen Kakashi for a long time." Asma raised her eyebrows in confusion. Although Kakashi rarely met with old classmates after joining Anbu, she hadn't seen her once every two months, and this time was indeed a bit long.

What task are you performing?

Or......... I was hit hard? I couldn't recover?

The matter of Frost Ninja Village is so big that Asma and the others cannot not know. Until now, the village is still arguing with Yun Ninja. Yun Ninja will refuse to recognize Frost Ninja Village. In short, the relationship between the two major ninja villages is quite tense now.

When Kakashi was hospitalized, Asma and the others also visited Kakashi in the hospital. At that time, Asma still remembered her unprecedented depression. After all, since the Ninja School, Kakashi was the first and the leader. They could only follow Kakashi and eat dust. Akashi was even at the end of a ten thousand-year-old crane.

He really didn't expect Kakashi to become so depressed and lonely.

"I have looked for him many times, but Kakashi is always not at home. When I ask the people from Anbu, I just told me that there is nothing I can tell you and I don't know what I'm busy with! I went to Naruto to apply to join Anbu, but I was kicked out by Naruto. Alas!" Akai sighed deeply, with a look of loss on his face.

Hades?

hehe!

Asma was speechless. He really couldn't imagine what Akai would look like when he joined Anbu. If he were Naruto, he would definitely drive Akai, a stubborn fool.

"Didn't you go to Obito and Lin to ask?"

"I asked, I don't know."

Asma widened her eyes, "Don't Obito and Lin know?"

"Yeah!" Akai nodded, "Obito only knows that Kakashi often goes to the Uchiha family's clan area recently, but he doesn't go to find him. He tried to inquire, as if he was going to find Uchiha Homo and Uchiha Asuka... I'm not familiar with these two people, Asma, do you know each other?"

"Uchiha Asuka and Uchiha Homo?"

Asma frowned and took a sip of the cold mung bean soup to dispel the stuffy feeling in her mind, but she still couldn't figure out what Kakashi asked these two people for.

"Knowing is knowing, but it means knowing the name. I have met several times... These two are very powerful, but what does Kakashi ask them for? Kakashi should have nothing to do with these two!" After all, his son is the previous generation of Hokage. Compared to Akai, who was just a ten thousand-year-old Shinin, his information channels are much more well-informed. Even if the third generation has abdicated, this does not prevent Asma from getting some convenient help in many times.

"Ahhh! I really can't figure it out. What is this guy Kakashi doing? The passion of youth doesn't need to be covered up!"

Akai pounded his head against the table.

"Oh, Asma, Akai, what are you two doing?" Uchiha Shimizu opened the curtain and walked in. She saw Akai who was "snatching the table with her head" at a glance. She became confused for a moment. What is this live treasure doing?

Akai is not big or small in the village and is also a celebrity.

To be precise, he used to be a celebrity, and it would be fine if he had a father of the ten thousand years of Shinin. There were many ninjas in the village who had been stuck at the Shinin level for life, but like Akai's father, he practiced physical skills all his life, wore a signature watermelon head, and liked to wear green tights... This unique dress is definitely a beautiful scenery in the village.

Later, when Akai graduated from Ninja School, the countless sweat and tears he put into physical skills were finally rewarded. He actually caught up with Asma and his group of leaders of the same period, and could even compete with Kakashi, the leader...

The big guys in the village basically know that there is such a hard-working boy who only relies on physical skills to become a Shangren.

Uchiha Shimizu is not a big shot, but as the confidant of Minato, he not only knows Akai, but also because of Obito's introduction, he and Akai and Asma are quite familiar with each other.

Uchiha Shimizu walked into the store and ordered three-color meatballs and mung bean soup.

Then at Asma, Akai sat down at this table.

When he saw Uchiha Shimizu, Asma's heart moved. When Shimizu sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Shimizu, do you know what Kakashi is doing recently?"

"Kakashi? Are you discussing Kakashi's affairs?"

Shimizu looked suddenly, no wonder Akai would 'grab the table with his head'. He has always heard of Akai's persistence with Kakashi, but... "Is Kakashi? Sorry, I haven't paid much attention recently. I'm so busy with the matter in the Frost Ninja Village that I'm so hard that I can't take time to eat some desserts and supplement my nutrition today."

Konoha and Yunnin have been quarreling for the incident in Frost Ninja Village for a while. As Minato's confidant, Shimizu is naturally busy and doesn't have much time to care about Kakashi. Although Kakashi is a key figure in the incident in Frost Ninja Village, things have developed to this point, Kakashi is no longer important. Now the competition is the courage and strength of the two major ninja villages.

Yun Ren was already at a disadvantage. If nothing unexpected happens, he would be able to cut Yun Ren again this time.

"Brother Zhishui, you don't know either!"

Akai lowered his head in disappointment again.

At this time, the waitress brought a stack of three-color meatballs and a bowl of mung bean soup.

The plate is white with beautiful patterns of light green on it. Six strings of three-color meatballs are placed on the plate. The bowl of mung bean soup is black pottery with dark red patterns. It is black and white with the plate, which looks very interesting and looks very stylish.

Seeing the three-color meatballs that I hadn't tasted for a long time, Shishui's index finger moved, and immediately picked up a string of three-color meatballs and feasted. The light of happiness appeared in the slits of his eyes.

"Akai heard Obito that Kakashi has been looking for Uchiha Asuka and Uchiha Homo, Brother Shimizu, do you know them?" Asma asked without discouragement.

"Birds and flames?"

Shimizu was stunned when she heard this, swallowed the meatballs in her mouth hard, and looked at Asma and Akai in confusion, "Kakashi should be unfamiliar with Asuka, Hanami and the others, right? Why did they... Did he see Obito wrongly?"

"That's right, I heard Obitu say with my own ears." Akai said confidently.

Zhishui frowned.

He slowly chewed the meatballs in his mouth, and the originally sweet meatballs suddenly felt much lighter.

Uchiha Asuka and Uchiha Homo... Why are they related to these two guys? Shimizu couldn't control her thoughts on Uchiha Naruto, but he couldn't understand why Kakashi wanted to find Uchiha Naruto. Maybe... Maybe he was thinking too much.

"I don't know much about this, wait for me to check it!"

Zhishui used a vague answer to make excuses.

However, he could not hide from Asman's sharp gaze and Akai's intuition that was comparable to a beast. I won't say much about Akai's intuition. This thing is too mysterious, but Asman's intelligence level is indeed the highest among all the graduates of their class. After all, he may be a strong man who can play chess with a genius like Shikamaru with an iQ of more than 200 - although basically all of them lost.

"Brother Zhishui, is there anything inconvenient to say?" Asma Youyou asked.

Akai also stared at it.

Zhishui couldn't swallow it anymore. He bit the bamboo stick and grinded his teeth. "It's not easy to say. It's all my personal guess. I can't do it accurately. I need to investigate... I'll tell you after I've investigated it clearly." He thought about it, but admitted calmly that lying is not something he is good at.

When Asma heard Shishui admit it, her expression suddenly became serious.

It is impossible for Shisui to have a special intention to investigate. It seems that Kakashi and Uchiha Asuka and Uchiha Homo come into contact with are not trivial matters...

I hope not to make a big deal, that guy Kakashi should not do anything illegal and disciplined! Asma was praying in her heart.

Akai scratched his watermelon head hard. This stubborn and passionate muscle maniac was very troubled. Although he was not as smart as Asma, his intuition told him that the "eternal opponent" might be in trouble, and it was quite a bit of trouble.

———

Just when Shimizu ate sweets at the Kamiri Kamabashi restaurant and started to investigate Kakashi because of Asma and Akai, Kakashi came to the private shrine of the Uchiha clan, Minaka Shrine.

The red Torii looked brand new, and the white "一"-shaped paper tape tied to the thick tucked rope fell down and swayed gently in the hot air.

The long bluestone paved temple road of the same size was clean and there was not even a single fallen leaf.

The two rows of stone lanterns on the left and right sides of the Hallo do also wiped spotlessly.

The tall flat cypress fell down large areas of shade.

At the end of last year, under the leadership of the patriarch Uchiha Fuga, the Uchiha clan mobilized all the clan members, supervised by the elders, and all the young and strong clan members worked together to renovate the Nanga Shrine from head to toe. Speaking of which, at first, Naruto was talking in front of Fuga that it was time to repair the shrine.

However, when Fugao promoted the renovation of the Nanga Shrine, Nagarjuna was no longer in the village.

Kakashi slowly walked to the highest level of the steps, came to the platform in front of the hall, stood in front of Torii and stopped, not breaking into the "Divine Realm".

He stood there, looking at the family shrine of the Uchiha family that was not open to the public. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have appeared here. Fortunately, since Minato and Fugao jointly promoted the reform of the Uchiha clan, some ancient rules are slowly changing.

For example, although the Minamiga Shrine is still not open to the public, it is not only Uchiha's tribe who can enter here.

At the beginning of this year, Uchiha Fuga invited Minato as the first guest of the New Year to visit the new Nanga Shrine after the repair, and worshiped at the Six Paths of Sages.

Afterwards, outsiders gradually invited the Uchiha family members to visit the Nanga Shrine.

Obito once invited Lin and Kakashi, but Kakashi had a task at that time but failed to complete it, Obito only took Lin to visit the shrine.

"You are really indomitable!"

Like a ghost, Uchiha Asuka quietly appeared on the head of the rooster stone statue on the right side of the temple, standing on it, looking down at Kakashi standing outside Torii with annoyance.

"Can you give me a reply?"

Kakashi ignored Asuka's ridicule, and was like a wooden man, just asking the answer he cared about.

“·······”

Uchiha Asuto was frustrated. No matter how sarcastic she was, Kakashi was always like this, without any reaction, and didn't seem to care about her sarcasm and sarcasm at all. In the end, she was so angry that she was depressed. She asked back unhappily: "Why are you looking for Nagarjuna? And I have told you many times that I have nothing to do with that rebel. How many times do you have to find me before you believe it?"

"I will trust you when you tell me how to contact Uchiha Naruto, or help me contact Uchiha Naruto."

Kakashi's answer almost made the girl's nose crooked.
