Naruto: Senmei Asahi

"The Third Kazekage went missing?" Shinohara heard this and immediately exclaimed, "Unbelievable…!"

For ninjas, the Kage of a village was a god-like existence, and was supported by all villagers and ninjas. And the Kage was not only very prestigious in the village, but also the strongest shinobi of the village. The Third Kazekage going missing, was definitely big news for the ninja world. 

"What are you talking so loudly for, do you want the villagers to know?" Ueno scolded. 

Shinohara shrank back and whispered, "The Third Kazekage has been missing for a few months. Why haven't we heard this news?" 

"Idiot! About the Third Kazekage's unknown disappearance, Sunagakure must have blocked the news." Keita was smarter than Shinohara, and said lightly with a snort, "And the ninjas of Sunagakure must have looked for their Kazekage everywhere they could several times by now, if The Third Kazekage really had been missing for a few months, he must have died outside the village." 

"But why did Sunagakure wants to blame us Konoha?" Shinohara asked. 

Ueno explained, "It's been said that when the Third Kazekage disappeared, it was happened to be the time when our delegation went to Sunagakure to negotiate, so they suspect that it was done by Konoha's ninja." 

"If everyone in Sunagakure thinks it was Konoha who assassinated the Third Kazekage, then it looks like we will soon be fighting against Sunagakure." Asahi analyzed. 

Ueno hearing this, nodded and said, "Yes, in a couple of days, the village will send ninjas to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind just in case that Sunagakure tries to launch a sneak attack. If nothing happens, our team will also be sent to the border to perform missions." 

"Very good, if I can achieve some things in the battlefield, maybe I will become a Jonin." Shinohara was excited when he heard that he was going to participate in war against Sunagakure. 

"Shut up!" Ueno hearing this immediately scolded, "Do you even know what war is, not even mentioning you're a still a kid, the first person to die in a battlefield could be you." 

Although it seemed a little unexpected that they would be suddenly sent to the frontline, it was reasonable if you think about it carefully. 

Ueno is a Jonin of Konoha. If there's a war, he must be sent to the frontline. 

Keita was part of the Hyuga clan, and Byakugan's reconnaissance ability was essential in times of war. The most important thing was that Keita is a member of the branch house. Even if he were to die in war, the Hyuga clan would not care too much. 

Among the numerous teams, there were few ninjas who could use medical ninjutsu, Asahi and Shinohara were included among those few. 

If such a team were to be excluded from these frontline missions, it could only be said that Konoha's high level officials were too blind. In times of war, no one was special. In the most critical moment, even the Hokage must sometimes appear in person. 

But one thing surprised Asahi. 

Although it was said in the original anime, that the Third Kazekage was killed by Sasori of the Red Sand, and he also made him into a human puppet. However, the Third Kazekage was hailed as the Strongest Kazekage. His Magnet Style Kekkei Genkai completely restrains puppet masters. Why and how Sasori of the Red Sand did kill the Third-Kazekage?

(T.L Note: My guess is poison. That dude made even better poison than Chiyo and he was a highly valued personnel in Sunagakure. So it must be easy to poison the Kazekage)

"Was the killer found?" Asahi frowned asked.

(T.L Note: If the murderer was found, why would they fight against Konoha… Of course they couldn't find the murderer) 

Ueno shook his head, and said, "It's exactly because the murderer wasn't found, so their village is very restless and excited. Now that Sunagakure is so excited, it's ready to fight with us."

It stands to reason that if Sasori of the Red Sand killed the Third Kazekage, then he should defect immediately.

And Sasori of the Red Sand was a genius puppet master of Sunagakure and the only grandson of Chiyo. If such a person were to defect, the entire Sunagakure would probably find out. Combining that with the disappearance of the Third Kazekage during the same period of time, it's unlikely that no one would associate it with Sasori of the Red Sand. 

'Could it be that Chiyo suppressed the news of defection of her grandson?' 

'If so, it will be fun.'

Asahi slightly smiled, if he could find evidence that Sasori of the Red Sand killed the Third Kazekage, and this matter was brought out, Chiyo's prestige in Sunagakure would definitely be hit. 

That old lady Chiyo hated Konoha since a long time ago. If she lost her right to speak in Sunagakure, the war between Konoha and Sunagakure would probably soon end. 

In the end, if Asahi could really make such a difference in this war, maybe the village would reward him with some powerful ninjutsu, which was what he wanted most. 

With Asahi's current strength, if he wanted to make a contribution to the war, it was as difficult as climbing to the heavens. 

But things regarding the Third Kazekage were different. This belonged to the information aspect and was beneficial for the village to deal with Chiyo. If he could get such information, and let the ninjas of Sunagakure know that their Kazekage was actually killed by Sasori of the Red Sand. He wondered if the angry Sunagakure would tear up that old Chiyo. 

This was the importance of knowing the plot of the original anime. 

Asahi believed that in the entire ninja world this information would not be known by more than three people except himself. 

Sasori of the Red Sand knows it naturally. Old Chiyo and her younger brother Ebizo might know, but they won't tell anyone about it. 

So now for Asahi, the most important thing right now was how to explain that he got this information and make his explanation rational and clearly structured. 

"Asahi, what are you thinking?" Shinohara asked, curiously looking at Asahi. 

"Nothing." Asahi shaking his head and said, "I just thought that I could contribute to the village very soon, and got a little excited." 

"You kid, do you even know how war is spelled?" Ueno hearing this, almost vomited blood, pointing at Asahi's nose and scolding, "Don't think that when you're in the battlefield, the enemy will let you go because you're still a kid. After all, kids like you, die the most on the battlefield. " 

"Relax sensei, I will be careful." Asahi said. 

"Now we are just on a reconnaissance mission, and won't be in combat against the enemy. If the war really starts, you three must be careful. Even if I am not with you at that time, don't separate too much, and take care of each other on the battlefield, that way you guys can live a little longer." Ueno said with a concerned voice.

"Understood, sensei!" The group of kids said in unison. 

"Okay, go back to rest early tonight. I will tell you the exact assembly time."

The barbecue was almost finished, Ueno looked at the time, and told his team, "These last few days don't train too hard, especially Asahi, adjust your state, especially since medical-nin like you will be very busy during war." 

"Understood!" Asahi said, "Then we'll leave first, Ueno-sensei." 

"Okay! Be careful on the road." Ueno looked at this three students leave, sighed, and thought 'I don't know how many of these three children can survive the war.' 

"..." 

"F*ck! Didn't the three of you invited me this meal? Why did you all run away without paying!"
