Chapter 91: Helping Miwa

After yesterday's tree-climbing experience, Tenma and Shinko, who already had experience, quickly mastered the skill of treading water. They only fell into the water about ten times, and they could easily stand on the water surface and run on it.

"Yay, we finally succeeded."

Tenma jumped up happily and landed steadily on the water surface without any signs of sinking.

"Good job."

Satoru praised, clapping his hands and appearing in front of them.

"How about it, Satoru-sensei, we're awesome, right?"

Tenma wiped his nose and said proudly.

"Yes, very good."

"Satoru-sensei, how long did it take you to practice these two things initially?"

Tenma asked.

Hearing this question, Satoru held up a finger.

"It took a day. It seems our talent is much better than the teacher's."

Tenma said excitedly.

Even Itachi was a bit surprised. He had heard that Satoru graduated from the ninja school at the age of five. How could it have taken him so long to learn?

"No, no, no, no."

Satoru waved his finger.

"Not a day, but an instant. Just by looking at it once, I had already learned it."

"What?"

Hearing Satoru's answer, Tenma immediately looked dejected.

"Is the gap between people really that big?"

"Hahaha, okay, don't compare with me. After all, I am a genius among geniuses."

Satoru said modestly.

"Today you have completed your tasks, so rest well for a week. But within this week, you can't slack off on your training. After a week, when we gather again, I will test you. I'll leave you a small homework. In our Konohagakure village, there is a waterfall, and you need to run upstream on the waterfall."

"Yes, Satoru-sensei, we will definitely complete the task."

Tenma said loudly.

Shinko also nodded, while Itachi thought this learning requirement was very simple.

"Of course, if you encounter anything you don't understand, you can come to me at any time."

"Understood."

"Then let's disband."

The next day, Hatake Satoru, who was still in a daze, suddenly heard his door being knocked on, and the knocking was very urgent, as if there was something urgent.

"Hey, someone waiting for you"

Kakashi said to Satoru.

"Okay."

Through Rikugan, Satoru already knew who the visitor was, but he frowned slightly, seeming a bit puzzled as to why the other party would come to him in such a hurry. But Satoru also immediately opened the door.

"What's wrong, Miwa?"

The visitor was Satoru's former teammate, Miwa.

Since the end of the Third Ninja War, Satoru has not been doing tasks with them. His strength has long surpassed Nakajima-sensei, and with his strength, he is no longer suitable to do tasks with them.

But usually, they would still get together. Now Masahiro and Miwa have both become Jonin last year. Although their strength is average, they have finally reached the level of Jonin.

"Satoru, help me."

Miwa's hands directly grasped Satoru's arm, and she said anxiously, with tear stains still in her eyes.

"What happened, tell me slowly."

Satoru's face immediately became serious. Looking at Miwa's current state, he knew that something serious had happened to her, otherwise she wouldn't have come to him for help.

Kakashi also cast a curious look. He was very familiar with his brother's former teammate. They used to call him a lot when their team had dinner together, and they would occasionally meet when Anbu was on a mission.

"My brother has been taken away, Satoru, please help me save him."

"Speak slowly, who took him away?"

Satoru knew that Miwa had a younger brother, a very cute little boy, and his talent as a ninja was also very good. If nothing unexpected happened, he would become a Jonin in the future.

"Anbu, but I feel more like it's Danzo's Root, their way of doing things is not like the Anbu we usually encounter."

Although Miwa was very anxious, she did not lose her sanity and told everything she knew.

"Danzo?"

Hearing this name, Satoru squinted his eyes.

"It should be Root, Anbu wouldn't do such a thing."

At this time, Kakashi appeared next to them and said. As a captain of Anbu, he was very clear about Anbu's way of doing things. They would never attack such a small child.

"Help me, Satoru, you're the only person I can find now."

Neither Nakajima-sensei nor Masahiro had the ability to take people away from Anbu, so only Satoru was left.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, I will definitely bring your brother back intact."

Satoru patted Miwa's hand to comfort her.

"You stay here now, I'll let Kakashi accompany you, I'll go to Root and bring your brother back."

"No, I want to go with you."

Miwa pleaded.

"Don't worry, I promise you, I will definitely bring your brother back, trust me."

Upon hearing this, Miwa was silent for a while, then slowly nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Hearing this, Satoru smiled.

"Kakashi, take good care of her, I'll be back soon."

Just as Satoru was about to leave, Kakashi suddenly grabbed him.

Satoru looked at Kakashi with a puzzled expression.

"Are you really going to do this? Doing so might make you an enemy of Konohagakure."

No matter what, Danzo is the leader of Root and an elder of Konohagakure. If he rashly takes action against Danzo, even the Fourth Hokage would not be able to justify it.

"Don't worry, if he doesn't know what's good for him, I'll secretly deal with him, no one will know."

Hearing Satoru say this, and seeing the murderous look on Satoru's face, Kakashi was momentarily stunned. He suddenly felt that Satoru was a bit strange at this moment, as if he was not the brother he was familiar with.

"Brother, you..."

Just as Kakashi wanted to say something else, Satoru's figure had already disappeared.

"Am I going to get Satoru into trouble?"

At this time, Miwa asked weakly behind Kakashi. Although she knew it was not good to do this, she really couldn't think of anyone else besides Satoru who could save her brother.

"No."

Kakashi shook his head.

"Even if you don't tell him, he will still do it if he knows. After all, he does whatever he wants without any constraints, all depending on his own mood. Maybe now only I am his weakness."

It is because of this that Kakashi wants to strive to become stronger, not only for himself, but also for his brother. He hopes that his brother can become a perfect person, of course, if his personality can be improved, that would be even better.

"A man who is perfect except for his personality."

This is the Fourth Hokage's evaluation of Hatake Satoru, and it is also what the Fourth Hokage said in front of Kakashi.
