Chapter 13 Kakashi's Test
"Welcome." Roy pointed to the price list on the wall. "What kind of membership card would you like?"
Kakashi didn't look at the price list; his gaze swept across the store.
The floor has been replaced with brand new marble, and the bloodstains and cracks left yesterday have disappeared without a trace.
The ten high-tech metal cockpits were neatly arranged, and several Hyuga clan ninjas were lying inside.
"Supreme VIP"
Kakashi withdrew his gaze, his tone indifferent.
"I need the highest level of access."
Roy raised an eyebrow.
"Black Gold Card?"
Roy tapped on the table.
"That's an astronomical price. An S-rank forbidden technique, or a bloodline limit factor. Do you have one?"
Kakashi is a poor bastard.
Roy was well aware of this.
He spent all his money on ninja tools and "Make-Out Paradise," and he had to use the rest to help Puck and the others.
I don't have any money.
Kakashi took his hand out of his pocket.
He raised his right hand and placed it on his forehead protector.
"But I have this."
The headband was pushed up.
The left eye, which had been closed, slowly opened.
Within its scarlet pupils, three black tomoe slowly rotated.
Sharingan.
"A clone of Kakashi the Ninja," Roy laughed. "You're trying to pay off your debt with the ninjutsu you copied?"
"A thousand kinds."
Kakashi's words were flat.
"This contains the mainstream ninjutsu of the five great nations. It ranges from C-rank to A-rank, and even includes a few incomplete S-rank techniques."
Is that enough?
Roy was so excited he could hardly contain himself.
That's enough, more than enough.
This isn't just paying off a debt; it's like receiving a mobile library! It's like a living bodhisattva!
With these thousand ninjutsu, the system's database will be filled instantly.
From now on, Roy will be able to provide the most comprehensive skill support for whoever enters the dungeon.
"make a deal."
Roy pulled a black metal card from under the counter.
"Place your hand here, then channel chakra, and the system will access your memory bank."
Kakashi did not hesitate.
He placed his hand on a sensor ball on the counter.
The Sharingan spun wildly.
A massive flow of data surged into the system along with the chakra.
[Including... Raikiri (S-rank)]
[Currently adding... Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet (Rank B)]
[Currently adding... Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique (Rank B)]
[Including... Multiple Shadow Clone Technique (Rank A)]
The data in the background was flooding the screen.
As Roy watched the names of the ninjutsu that kept popping up, his smile grew increasingly genuine.
Three minutes later.
Kakashi withdrew his hand.
His face paled, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
Even Kakashi struggled to withstand this intense memory reading, as it placed a significant mental burden on him.
"Take it."
Roy pushed the black card over.
"Now, you are our store's most valued VIP."
"You can choose any copy. The past, the future, or a parallel world."
Kakashi took the card.
The cool touch brought him back to his senses.
He looked at the row of cabins.
The Third Hokage's mission was to investigate the details of this place, but he had his own selfish motives.
What happened to Danzo last night reminded him of many long-forgotten memories.
The man who always carries a short sword is known as the hero of Konoha's White Fang.
On a rainy night, the father knelt at home cleaning a short knife before committing suicide.
Everyone said that the father was wrong.
He abandoned his mission to save his comrades, causing significant damage to the village.
Even his rescued companions blamed him.
Kakashi has always firmly believed this.
So he became a believer in the rules, a cold-blooded tool.
But if...
What if there was a possibility that everything that happened before was also a lie?
Kakashi clenched the black gold card in his hand.
"I want to look back."
Kakashi walked up to an empty cockpit.
"Which part?" Roy asked knowingly.
"Konoha Year 38".
Kakashi lay down inside.
"The truth behind Sakumo Hatake's suicide."
The hatch closed.
Roy tapped his finger on the console.
[Duplicate generation in progress...]
[Target: Konoha Year 38 - The Fall of White Fang.]
[Mode: Third-person observation.]
"Look closely, Kakashi." Roy stared at the progress bar on the screen. "Let's see who's the culprit who turned you into this."
Copy space.
When Kakashi opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by a dense forest.
It's still raining.
He looked down at himself.
Its body was transparent.
He couldn't touch anything; he could only see and hear.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from ahead, and Kakashi floated over.
He saw that familiar figure from behind.
She has long white hair and carries a chakra dagger that emits white light on her back.
Hatake Sakumo.
White Fang of Konoha at the peak of his life, a man whose strength surpassed that of the Sannin.
At this time, Sakumo was engaged in a fierce battle.
His teammate, an unknown Chunin, was surrounded by ninjas from an enemy country.
The mission scroll is about 100 meters ahead.
If Sakumo rushes over, he can get the scroll and complete the mission, but his teammates will die.
Shuo Mao stopped in his tracks.
He glanced back at his teammate, who was pinned to a tree with a kunai and was on the verge of death.
Without any hesitation, Sakumo pointed his sword at the enemy and finally defeated him.
The teammates were rescued, but the mission failed.
Kakashi witnessed this scene clearly with his own eyes.
As a child, he questioned his father countless times in his dreams: Why didn't you choose a mission? Shouldn't a ninja prioritize missions?
But now, from the perspective of an observer.
He saw the light in Sakumo's eyes.
It is a respect for life and a cherishing of companions.
"Thank you... thank you, Lord Sakumo!"
The rescued Chunin knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.
Sakumo simply smiled gently and patted the other person on the shoulder: "It's good that you're alive. Go back to the village."
The scene changes, and Shuomao returns to the village.
He didn't bring back the mission scroll, but he brought back his comrades alive.
At first, nothing much happened.
Mission failures are common.
The rumors started the very next day.
Kakashi floated down the street.
He saw several ninjas in civilian clothes mingling in the crowd, talking loudly.
"Have you heard? Lord White Fang abandoned an S-class top-secret mission to save someone!"
"What? That's a mission that's crucial to the outcome of the battle on the front lines!"
"How selfish! They're putting the village's interests above their own!"
"This kind of person doesn't deserve to be called a hero! He's utterly useless!"
Kakashi recognized those who spread rumors.
Although their masks were removed, their sinister aura remained undeniable.
It is the root.
The perspective is elevated.
Kakashi followed the Root ninjas to an underground base.
Danzo Shimura sat in a chair.
He is listening to a report.
"Have the rumors already spread?" Danzo asked.
"Yes, Lord Danzo. The villagers' emotions have been stirred up."
"very good."
Danzo sneered.
"Hiruzen is still hesitating about who will be the next Hokage. Sakumo's reputation is too high. If he is not eliminated, the next Hokage will not be Hiruzen's faction, let alone me."
"hero?"
"Konoha doesn't need uncontrollable heroes."
Danzo stood up and walked into the shadows.
"Go find that Chunin who was rescued. Tell him that if he doesn't want to be made a scapegoat for the mission's failure, he should shift all the blame to Sakumo."
"Let him accuse Sakumo. Only when the victim speaks out will Sakumo be completely disgraced."
