* Kakashi is ordered to leave his current missions and to take on a very special one. As ANBU member, Kakashi is to guard Minato’s wife Kushina. She is pregnant with Naruto. We all know what happened to Minato trying to save his village and sealing part of Nine Tails’ chakra into Naruto’s body. The next Naruto episode is entitled “Minato’s Death”. Watch Naruto Shippuden 350 with us right here at TailedFox and see us in the forum for a chat.
Minato, the newly appointed Hokage of the Hidden Leaf village, is fully determined to maintain peace. New mission assigned to ANBU Black Ops is to be vigilant and secure the peace for the village. The watchmen spot five Shinobi from Hidden Stone approaching fast. No alarms were raised since the Leaf had a standing peace treaty with the Stone village. The watchmen were nevertheless vigilant and nervous about foreign ninjas approaching so quickly. Their misgivings were soon answered when these Stone guys attacked with full might. No time to think, Leaf’s Shinobi must fight back.
Encounter lasted only few seconds. Stone attackers withdrew upon realising that Black Ops reinforcements were closing in. ANBU shinobi investigated the scene and found few Shuriken close by. The stars were not of Hidden Stone however. Whoever attacked must have intended to break the peace treaty Minato fought so hard to deliver. Kakashi, now a full member of Black Ops, jumped to go after them. Using his Chidori, he eliminated all five opponents and was later praised to Hokage by a fellow ANBU fighter.
Kushina found out she was pregnant and Minato assigned Kakashi as her bodyguard. Minato wanted to be sure that nothing happens to his girl and unborn child, but he was also concerned about the energy that Jinchuriki would transfer to the fetus, making Nine Tails’ seal weak.
Kakashi has changed since joining ANBU and Guy, his best pal and rival, fought for his attention. There was a strange chill in the air that night. Both Kakashi and Itachi holding a baby of his little brother Sasuke, felt this unease in the air. Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, who was now temporarily in charge of Hidden Leaf, also felt that something was terribly wrong. In the shadows of the night, Obito crept up and signed a Summoning Jutsu.
The rampage, the Nine Tails caused, was enormous. Young Shinobi, like Kakashi, or Guy, were asked to stay away. “There is no reason to risk your lives” Kurenai’s father said.
The scene rolls straight to Minato and Kushina dying. Lord Hiruzen, holding a newly born baby, listens to Kushina telling him about the baby. “We named him Naruto, after Jiraiya’s hero from his novel.” Kushina said in her last words. Lord Third, promised to Kushina, that he would take good care of Naruto.At the funeral, Hiruzen recognised that both Kushina and Minato gave their lives to protecting the Hidden Leaf village and its people.
Hokage’s seat needed to be filled and despite Danzo’s protests, Third Hokage stepped in once more, at least until another Hokage was found. Later, Danzo approached Kakashi to ask him if he could work under him. Danzo claimed, that it was after all Lord Third’s ambitions that prolonged the war and also his fault that Rin and Obito were dead. Danzo also suggested, that it was because of Hiruzen’s orders for Kakashi to stay behind and thus miss a chance to save Minato and Kushina from Nine Tails.
Talking to ANBU fighters, Third Hokage introduced a plan to go to his prefecture. Scroll with the plan was delivered to Danzo by Kakashi. When nearing the compound, Kakashi was met with Wood Style Jutsu user, who attacked him. This surprised Kakashi, since so far as Kakashi knew, First Hokage Hashirama, was the only one being able to control this jutsu. Danzo had called off the guard and welcomed Kakashi. He opened the scroll and said, “the time has come”. Time for what? What was Danzo planning to do?The next Naruto episode will be entitled “Hashirama cells”. We’ll see why Wood Style was labelled as the ‘Forbidden Jutsu’. Mysterious disappearances of newborn babies and Shinobi all around Konoha suggested that someone was pursuing the research into this dangerous jutsu. If implanting of Hashirama cells into babies were successful 10 years, then there would be users of this jutsu and they would be about 10 years old.
