—————————————————————————————————————————
In the afternoon, the main force returning to Konoha began to support the Iwa ninjas battlefield. They marched towards the Grass Country in a mighty way.
The situation this time was different from last time.
This time, as soon as Satoru Hyūga showed up, he caught countless eyes, with shock and an indescribable look in them.
"Is that... Satoru Hyūga, the one who defeated Rasa? He looks so young..."
"The first one in the Hyūga clan with double Kekkei Genkai, the second Kekkei Genkai that surpasses ordinary Magnet Release, I heard it's called... Male - type Magnet Release?"
"It's just that his taste is a bit..."
Some ninjas suddenly thought of Chiyo's miserable state and shivered. The way they looked at Satoru Hyūga also carried a hint of awe.
"Satoru! Are you late again?"
"Do I have a habit of arriving early?"
Satoru Hyūga rolled his eyes and looked at Uchiha Rin who was standing in front of him with her arms crossed.
It's not that he likes being late. Basically, he uses any free time he has to gain experience points.
After all, lv4 Electromagnetic Force isn't invincible yet.
However, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to obtain experience points.
During the war, it's naturally impossible to use multiple shadow clones on a large scale, as it would make him weak for several days.
The results are slow.
But every little bit counts. Satoru Hyūga always maintains the image of a thrifty and good - tempered guy.
His eyes shifted, and a smile curled up on Satoru Hyūga's lips.
He saw an old acquaintance.
Shibi Aburame was complimenting Minato Namikaze, and vice versa.
In this way, this was the first reunion of Team 3 since they separated last time.
"Minato, the members of your Team 7 are all outstanding geniuses. Especially Kakashi, it seems he's about to become a Jonin, right?"
"You're overpraising me. The real geniuses are in your Team 3!"
Minato smiled.
Shibi Aburame was a bit older than Minato. They were in the same period and were both well - known ninjas in Konoha.
When they met by chance in the troop, it was inevitable that they would give each other some polite compliments.
As if recalling something, Minato's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly,
"Especially Satoru. His move, Armstrong Cyclone Jet Space - based Ultra - Electromagnetic Force //Misaka Mikoto// Invincible Armstrong CannonMisaka Mikoto Invincible Armstrong Cannon[/b], is simply amazing, especially the name!"
"Ar... "
What was it again?
He couldn't remember!
Did Satoru Hyūga have such a unique taste in naming?
How come I don't know?
Shibi Aburame's face looked strange.
"It's the Armstrong Cyclone Jet..."
Minato repeated it again happily.
"I didn't expect Satoru to have such good taste in naming. It's almost as good as my Magnet Release Light Wheel Gale Thunderbolt Arrow Zero - Style."
"Shibi, your teaching is really amazing!"
The surrounding ninjas cast strange looks at them.
Shibi Aburame was so embarrassed that he could have dug a three - bedroom apartment with his toes.
He kept questioning himself in his heart why he had brought up this topic with Minato.
He already has a mild case of social anxiety. Being stared at so weirdly by so many people, he suddenly feels like he's been stripped naked.
In the back, Satoru Hyūga swallowed hard.
Is this what social death feels like?
Aniki, I was just spouting nonsense. Did you really write it down word for word?
I was even planning to go up and say hello to Teacher Shibi...
Satoru Hyūga quietly stepped back, afraid of being noticed by the other person.
"Wow, Satoru, it's so long!"
Uchiha Rin looked at Satoru Hyūga with a hint of shock.
"What's so long?"
"Your name!"
"Did you really come up with it?"
Satoru Hyūga felt a shiver down his spine and quickly changed the subject.
"Rin, did anything happen when you went back to the clan this time?"
"Anything happen..." Uchiha Rin thought for a moment. "Well, actually, there was."
She hesitated a bit.
"But the elders told me not to tell you."
Huh?
"What happened?"
Satoru Hyūga's heart skipped a beat.
Uchiha Rin glanced at Satoru Hyūga, her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she lowered her head slightly.
"Elder Setsuna said I could try to get closer to you."
"Elder Setsuna?"
"Yeah."
Satoru Hyūga fell silent.
Seemed like he was that well - known hawkish elder who had survived since Madara's time and was always trying to push for an Uchiha Hokage...
This old guy should know how to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Is he trying to offer me up to the gods?
"Rin, since he told you not to tell me, why did you still say it?"
"Who does he think he is? Who gave him the right to tell me what to do?"
Uchiha Rin crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at him in the way Satoru Hyūga was used to.
Well...
Okay! This is so Rin.
Satoru Hyūga stopped talking.
Suddenly, an excited voice came from the crowd.
"Hey, it's Satoru! Why didn't you come and say hello when you're so close?"
Minato Namikaze waved cheerfully at Satoru Hyūga.
Satoru Hyūga noticed the resentful look in Shibi Aburame's eyes beside him and felt so embarrassed that he felt like he could dig a hole in the ground big enough for a beach - front mansion.
Sigh!
Where was the heart - warming reunion scene of Team 3 that he had imagined?
In the Grass Country.
At the Konoha camp.
The large support force had arrived, and many ninja came out of the camp to greet them.
Satoru Hyūga saw Team 7 led by Minato.
Obito stood at the front, waving continuously and shouting excitedly.
"Teacher Minato, over here! Over here!"
Since Minato Namikaze was sent to the Sand ninja battlefield to fight with Satoru Hyūga against the Sand ninja, Team 7, which was in the Iwa ninjas battlefield, had been left on their own.
Satoru Hyūga saw Kakashi standing in the back, slightly turned sideways, looking out of place with the surroundings.
Even Obito's excited shouts didn't make him react at all.
It was as if he was in a different world from the other ninja who had come to greet them.
Satoru Hyūga noticed that Kakashi was staring at him.
It wasn't a casual glance but a deliberate, continuous stare.
He looked into Kakashi's eyes, and the two locked gazes.
"Just as Neji Hyūga said, Kakashi has really changed a lot!"
Satoru Hyūga sighed silently to himself.
It seems that his own participation has brought about some unexpected changes in him.
Well, in the original work, after the suicide of Kakashi's father, Lord White Fang, Kakashi seemed to have turned dark. He broke all the records of Konoha's geniuses effortlessly.
It wasn't until he got involved with Obito and Neji Hyūga that he gradually turned back to the good side.
But now, he has lost the title of the number one in the new generation.
He was defeated by Satoru Hyūga in public.
Moreover, due to his later crying, some strange rumors have been spreading in the village.
Satoru Hyūga didn't know which direction Kakashi was heading towards.
It seemed like he had changed from one kind of dark side to another?
When he returned to the assigned tent and hadn't been there for long, he heard a knock on the door.
Satoru Hyūga opened the door.
Sure enough, it was Kakashi.
"You don't seem surprised," Kakashi said in a tone devoid of any emotion.
No, or rather, he was like a machine without emotions.
Even... emotions.
"I guessed it, so I'm not surprised," Satoru Hyūga replied.
"Come in!"
Satoru Hyūga motioned for Kakashi to sit down.
He paused for a moment.
"Actually, I'm a bit curious. You never seem to have clarified those absurd rumors in the village?"
It seemed that the title of the son of Lord White Fang brought Kakashi a huge amount of attention. Since he was defeated by Satoru Hyūga in public last time, some absurd rumors have been spreading in the village.
The relatively mild rumors were like...
"Shocking! The son of Lord White Fang was defeated by Satoru Hyūga and even did that in public?"
"Did Kakashi kneel down and beg for mercy? Is the son of Lord White Fang just a false reputation?"
The more absurd rumors were...
"Kakashi cried in public! 100 things that must be said between him and Satoru Hyūga!"
"The son of Lord White Fang and the Byakugan genius, who let down whom?"
It's ridiculously absurd...
Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"I guess you don't care about those boring rumors," Kakashi sneered.
It's just the self - entertainment of those gossiping losers.
Those boring rumors... Does he have to shout in public, 'I, Kakashi, never knelt down!'?
"I'm here to ask you something," Kakashi said, his gaze suddenly turning serious as he stared straight at Satoru Hyūga.
"You said that my father died to interpret his will. What exactly was his will?"
Kakashi just stared straight at Satoru Hyūga.
It seemed that he was extremely eager for an answer.
"So, you've been thinking about this Mondai," Satoru Hyūga said with a sudden chuckle.
