Chapter 427 Ishikawa's First Appearance: He Brings His Sister Along
"Is today the right time?" After squeezing through the bustling, noisy street, young Kakashi looked up, following the gazes of the crowd.
"Obito, I never thought that your dream of becoming Hokage would be fulfilled by Minato-sensei!"
"But given your personality, you shouldn't be discouraged. At this point, you'll probably say something like you want to inherit Minato-sensei's will and become the Fifth Hokage..."
"If you had the Mangekyou Sharingan, you might have a chance to become the Fifth Hokage. But please, you absolutely mustn't die—"
Just as young Kakashi was muttering to himself, only adding to his sorrow, a clear voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Hehehe... Maybe the Fifth Hokage isn't Obito, but you? Kakashi."
Kakashi instinctively turned around and saw Nohara Rin, dressed in ANBU attire, appear before him. She took off her mask and revealed a smiling face, accompanied by an ANBU boy of similar age.
"Rin, your joke just now wasn't funny at all. I don't dream of becoming Hokage. I just couldn't help grumbling when I saw that Minato-sensei wanted to become Hokage and thought of that idiot..." Kakashi chuckled lightly, then turned his gaze to the Anbu members next to Rin.
"Who is this person?"
As far as he knew, the surveillance on Lin seemed to have not yet been lifted.
What's the deal with this newly appeared dark area?
Is it an ANBU unit monitoring Rin? No, you could also say it's protecting her. After all, Rin is now the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails!
"Kakashi Hatake, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, I've heard rumors about you. You should know that my Anbu identity needs to be kept secret, but perhaps you can call me by my codename, Tanuki." Looking at the slightly childish-looking Kakashi opposite him, Ishikawa greeted him with a smile and introduced himself.
Although his current tanuki identity is just a facade, it will appear in the Anbu archives of Konoha during the Third Shinobi World War after he meets the Fourth Hokage.
Yes, that's right.
With such an interesting story about Ishikawa taking his sister as Hokage, how could he not come and join in the fun?
"A tanuki?" Kakashi looked at the other party suspiciously, but after seeing Rin tacitly acknowledge the other party's identity, he didn't ask any more questions.
He's not some clueless newbie; he wouldn't go around asking about the Dark Guard and asking for trouble!
"Well, let's begin..."
Seeing Kakashi remain silent, Ishikawa didn't continue with pleasantries or trying to build rapport. His left eye, hidden beneath his mask, flashed crimson as he looked towards the Hokage Building.
Meanwhile, on the roof of the Hokage Building.
"Minato, I've always believed you're an exceptionally talented successor to the Will of Fire, without a doubt! In you, I feel like I can see the future of Konoha..."
"That's why I put pressure on you and strongly recommended you to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to become the fourth generation, hoping that you can lead everyone out of the shadow of war as soon as possible, turn the situation around and restore the village's prosperity."
"Now, I entrust the future of Konoha to you!"
Are you mentally prepared?
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood at the head of the crowd, holding his Hokage hat and looking solemnly at Minato Namikaze, who was wearing a Kage robe.
Behind him stood Konoha's high-ranking officials, including Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, while behind them were Konoha's younger generation, represented by elite ninjas such as Fugaku, Kushina, Shikaku, Choza, and Inoichi.
"Of course, I was already prepared! I would protect the village and everyone else, even if it meant sacrificing myself."
Minato Namikaze met the Third Hokage's gaze without any humility, his divine robe billowing in the wind, the five large characters "Fourth Hokage" clearly visible on the back.
He had already roughly realized this after summarizing and analyzing the information about Sasuke and Rin!
Moreover, he also discerned other things from Sasuke's words and subtle expressions...
Knowing full well that there are tigers in the mountains, they still venture into the tiger's den, risking their lives to protect something.
Therefore, this profound realization truly bears the name of the Shadow!
"Yes, I believe you can protect Konoha, Fourth Hokage..." The Third Hokage nodded solemnly, and with a heavy look in his eyes, handed over the straw hat.
The next instant, Minato Namikaze smoothly took the Hokage hat, put it on his head, and stood in front of the fence, facing the wind.
"From this day forward, I am the Fourth Hokage of Konoha! I stake my name, the Yellow Flash, on protecting everyone and this village with my life..."
With Minato Namikaze's loud announcement, the onlookers below immediately erupted into a frenzy, as if they had been injected with adrenaline!
"The Fourth Hokage..."
"The Yellow Flash, the Fourth Hokage..."
"The Fourth Hokage! The Fourth Hokage!!"
In an instant, the clamor and excitement of the crowd seemed to pierce the sky and soar into the clouds...
[The Eternal Girl has finally appeared! Well, I guess I've witnessed the plot.] In the crowd, Ishikawa looked at the spirited Fourth Minato through his red eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go, let's not keep the Fourth Hokage waiting any longer!" Ishikawa called out to Rin as the people above gradually dispersed.
"You're going to see Minato-sama—no, I should call him the Fourth Hokage now." Young Kakashi was slightly taken aback, then quickly stepped forward. "I'll go too. I applied to join the Anbu before but was rejected by the Third Hokage. I hope the Fourth Hokage won't reject me this time."
"Join the Anbu? Damn it, Kakashi, you're already so strong, yet you still leave me to work hard and secretly improve on your own. No way, if you join the Anbu, I'm going too!" Almost the instant Kakashi finished speaking, before Ishikawa and Rin could reply, a passionate voice rang out.
The next instant, Ishikawa saw the young Might Guy rush up with burning eyes and put his arm around Kakashi's shoulder.
"Kai? Uh, it seems like you really can't do it." Kakashi glanced at the other person's loud and boisterous manner and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
Why would the Anbu want someone with that kind of personality? Are you kidding me?!
"Hmph, Kakashi, don't underestimate me. Although you are an elite Jonin, I'm not a Genin anymore, but a Chunin of Konoha. Joining the Anbu shouldn't be a problem," Might Guy retorted angrily, not to be outdone.
Damn it, he won't lose to Kakashi!
Having inherited his father's forbidden technique, he will surely surpass Kakashi and make him look at him with new eyes.
“Kai, I’m not talking about your status or strength, I’m talking about…”
"What did you say? You've already acknowledged that my strength and identity are not in question, that's enough! Let's go, maybe we'll even become teammates, Captain Kakashi."
"Uh, no, I mean..."
[A good opportunity.]
Seeing Kakashi being entangled by Guy, Ishikawa immediately gave Rin a look and vanished in an instant.
Their subsequent conversation involved many confidential matters, including the fact that, due to the Fifth Generation Kakashi, they could not bring the young Kakashi along on their mission.
Lin understood immediately, fastened her mask, pouted slightly, and activated the Leaf Village Body Flicker Technique...
