Chapter 778 Traces of the Past

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Sakura froze for a moment when she heard this, ‘That’s right, that seems to be the real problem.

They know too little about Kakashi.

They didn't know Kakashi’s story before he became their instructor.

And after Kakashi became their instructor, they also didn't fully know his story.

For them, Kakashi seems to have always played a guiding role.

He put a lot of effort into them, but he himself is like a fog.

The only thing they knew is only ordinary information.

For example, Kakashi graduated from the academy when he is five-years-old, became a Chunin when he is six, and a Jōnin when he is twelve.

However, they even do not know about these in detail.

They also only know that Kakashi is a legend in the Anbu, and even more famous in the Shinobi World.

There is also Kakashi's rarely mentioned father and never mentioned mother.

They don't even know what Kakashi likes to eat.

They only know that Kakashi is always holding a book of Icha-Icha. As for whether he is reading them again or not, they don't know.

After all, the thin book has been in Kakashi's hands for too long.

There is also his true face under the mask.

This is what bothers them the most.

What kind of face is hidden under the mask?

They don't know all of this.

Naruto also slowly came back at this time.

"Sakura! You're hitting me too hard. My jaw is about to be dislocated," Naruto complained.

"Who told you to always come up with some bad ideas!" Sakura coldly snorted and said.

"What do you mean by bad idea? I feel that it’s a very good idea."

"It's a bad idea!"

Naruto and Sakura started arguing, but Sasuke suddenly said, "I thought of it."

“What do you think of?” Naruto and Sakura asked in unison.

“If we want to know what kind of gift is suitable for Kakashi-sensei, we need to know more about Kakashi-sensei.”

“Well, that makes a lot of sense.” Naruto nodded in agreement.

"Then, what are we going to do?" Sakura asked.

"Investigate! Investigate everything in Kakashi-sensei's past, and we will definitely get the answer." Sasuke muttered.

"But how will we investigate? Kakashi-sensei's information is not something easily available to read. The only person with this authority is probably Shisou," Sakura said.

"We naturally can’t take that path. We also don't need to think about Anbu's information. Even if we succeed in stealing the information, it will be a huge crime. Although Kakashi-sensei wouldn't necessarily blame us, it will still make it difficult for Kakashi-sensei." Sasuke said.

"Then, what should we do?" Naruto asked in confusion.

A gleam of light flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and then he said: “Of course, we’re going to ask other people. Shisui-nii, Nii-san, Yamato-taichou, and Guy-sensei are all very familiar with Kakashi-sensei. They must know something we don’t know. Also, Kakashi-sensei will leave the village tomorrow and go to the City of Fire with Godaime-sama. By the time, there will be no one in his house, so we can go in and investigate."

"So it’s like that! Sasuke-kun, you are so smart!" Sakura said happily.

Naruto stood up straight and said excitedly: "Yosh! Then let’s get started!"

"So, who is the first person should we find?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Shisui-nii and nii-san should all be on mission right now. Let's find Guy-sensei. His body has not fully recovered yet, so he should be resting at home right now," Sasuke said.

"It makes sense. Then let's go to Gekimayu-sensei’s house!"

"Okay!"

Guy’s house is in the Jōnin apartment.

After becoming a Jōnin, Konoha prepares a dormitory for the Shinobi.

The dormitory is not big, but it is enough to live alone.

Of course, the place will be reserved for them even if they don't need it.

As for the house or something, they need to buy it themselves.

Kakashi also has a room in the Jōnin apartment, but he has lived in his house for a long time, so he has only lived here for a few times.

Only when there is occasional mission demand will he come to live here.

And for some of the big clan’s Jōnin, this is just their their private storage room.

After all, once they become a Jōnin, the clan will naturally prepare a house for them.

The clan is still very generous to Jōnin.

So the one who lived in the Jōnin apartment are only some civilians Jōnin.

Only they would need such a room.

And once they are married and have children, they will naturally have to change their residence.

Therefore, there are not many people living in this Jōnin apartment.

Guy is one of them.

After all, he has no wife and no family, so living here is the most suitable.

And today, Guy is indeed in the Jōnin apartment.

Because the news that Kakashi is going to become the Hokage has not yet reached his ears.

And Lee, Neji and Tenten have just come in to visit him.

"Guy-sensei! I heard a big news!" Lee said excitedly.

"Lee! What is it!"

"Kakashi-sensei is going to become the Rokudaime Hokage!"

"What! That’s amazing! This is youth! As expected of my eternal rival! No, I'm going to stand upside down and run 500 laps around Konoha to celebrate it!"

Guy said as he stood on the ground and ready to set off.

Neji was feeling helpless when he saw this. This time, they came to visit the sick. If Guy just left right now, they would come for nothing.

So Neji poked Guy's body with his finger.

Tenketsu Strike!

"Aahh! Neji! What are you doing!"

Guy’s movement was sealed by Neji so he fell directly onto the bed.

"Guy-sensei! Are you alright!" Lee shouted.

“Guy-sensei, Tsunade-sama said that you have to rest more, so Neji is doing this for your own good,” Tenten said.

“If Guy-sensei wants to celebrate Kakashi-sensei’s promotion, you should hurry up and recover from your injury, and go to the Hokage’s succession ceremony with full health,” Neji said.

At this time, Neji's strength was already similar to Guy without using the Eight Gates Technique, or even superior a bit, so the injured Guy is not Neji's opponent.

Therefore, Guy was unable to block Neji’s Tenketsu Strike.

"Ah! It's so touching! I didn't expect my students to have grown to this point. It seems that my training is not enough. I have decided. I must train harder!"

"Guy-sensei! I will definitely train hard with you! Neji! Then you have to accept my challenge!"

"Lee! This is youth!"

"Guy-sensei!"

The two cried and Neji and Tenten felt helpless when they saw this.

"Guy-sensei, we’ve come to visit you."

Naruto’s group came in at this time and was stunned at once when they saw this strange scene.

‘It seems we’ve come at a strange time’

"Naruto? Why are you guys here?" Neji asked in doubts.

"Well, we actually have something to ask Guy-sensei about," Naruto said.

"Kakashi's students want to ask me something? Hahaha, just ask, I will definitely answer it for you!" Guy said excitedly.

Immediately after, Sakura told Guy about the reason why they came here.

Guy nodded after hearing this.

"I see, so you want to know more about Kakashi and then decide what gift to give him. What a good student! I'm so moved! This is youth!"

"Guy-sensei! I'm sorry! We never had such an idea, I'm so sorry!"

Lee bowed his head and cried.

"Lee, you guys are excellent. You don't need to do something like that!" Guy said while hugging Lee his arms.

"Guy-sensei!"

The remaining five people had black lines all over their heads.

At this moment, Naruto’s group feels that they should not have come here.

"That, Sasuke, why don't we go? It doesn't seem like there will be any important clues here." Naruto said with disgust.

"I agree." Sakura rarely agreed Naruto's suggestion.

Sasuke also nodded in agreement.

It is really difficult for them to see Guy’s style.

At the same time, Sasuke gave Neji a sympathetic look.

Neji felt this, and showed a forced smile in response.

At this time, Guy said: "Since you have come to ask me, then I will tell you a story."

This sentence made Naruto’s group stop.

"Sasuke, you should know that Raikiri is the evolution of the Chidori. But, do you know why it is called this name?" (T/N: Raikiri meant Lightning Cutter)

Sasuke shook his head.

A flash of nostalgia flashed in Guy’s eyes, and then he said: “Because Kakashi used this technique to cut off the lightning in the sky!”
