Kamishiro followed Kakashi and the other two to a tent.
This tent was next to Kakashi's.
Kakashi explained to Kamishiro, "This tent will be your residence from now on. There are many ninjas guarding Konoha's camp, and there are many areas you can't enter casually. So don't wander around when you're free. If you need anything, you can come to me, Obito, or Rin."
"Later, if there's a mission, we'll come to inform you. You should always be prepared. Once a mission is assigned, you must set off immediately. Since you're going to act with us now, you'll definitely have to go."
Kamishiro asked with a long face, "Minato Namikaze's enemies must be very powerful. You guys, Kakashi, are so strong that you definitely won't hold Minato Namikaze back. But I'm extremely weak. If I follow you, I'll surely be the one holding you back. How about you tell Minato Namikaze to let me stay here and do logistics?
Don't look at me like this. I'm really good at doing logistics. I can do laundry and cook. And if someone is tired, I can give massages. My techniques are absolutely professional!"
Kakashi tried his best to refrain from rolling his eyes.
Behind Kakashi, Obito and Rin Nohara couldn't hold it in and rolled their eyes.
How thick - skinned must Kamishiro be to say that he wanted to stay here to do laundry, cook, and give massages?!
If they didn't know that Kamishiro was actually very powerful, they might really have been...
No! Even if they didn't know, they wouldn't be deceived.
Kamishiro was a typical coward!
After calming down, Kakashi said to Kamishiro, "Teacher's enemies are indeed very powerful, so we won't be acting with Teacher. Our missions are usually investigation missions, and there won't be many The Battle missions.
At the same time, there are enough logistics personnel in the camp. We don't need you to do logistics, let alone give massages. Moreover, if you want to join Konoha, you need to make contributions now. Doing those things won't count as merits for you."
Kamishiro sighed helplessly and then immediately started flattering Kakashi and the other two, "Kakashi, Obito, Rin, although we're not very familiar with each other yet, you're so strong and amazing. I've never seen anyone as amazing as you three at this age.
I can say for sure! At your age, you three are invincible! So if there's any danger later, you must protect weak little me!"
Since it was impossible to change the fact that he was going to go on missions with Kakashi and the others, and Minato Namikaze wouldn't be with them, then he had to flatter Kakashi and the others now.
If a The Battle broke out, he'd let Kakashi and the others charge forward while he hid behind and cheer them on.
Anyway, Kakashi and the other two definitely wouldn't get into trouble now, so using them as shields should be safe.
Kakashi and Rin Nohara were left dumbfounded. They had never encountered such a brazen person as Kamishiro.
However, Obito was taken in by Kamishiro's act.
Obito scratched his head and said shyly, "I'm not as great as you said. Don't worry. If there's any danger, I'll definitely safeguard you!"
Kakashi and Rin Nohara both rolled their eyes.
Does he really think that guy needs his safeguarding?
Obito Uchiha... is hopeless.
Minato Namikaze came to Kamishiro's tent and said to Kamishiro and the three of Kakashi, "Kamishiro, from now on, you'll act with Kakashi and the others. Don't worry. The missions you'll carry out usually won't involve The Battle. There's hardly any danger."
Minato Namikaze deliberately reminded Kamishiro, fearing that he would run away if he felt in danger.
Then Minato Namikaze continued, "Kakashi, Obito, Rin, I'll emphasize again. From now on, Kamishiro is our comrade. We're a whole. As comrades, we should help and support each other in the days to come. Do you understand?
Kamishiro, I know you're afraid of The Battle. However, constantly resisting The Battle will wear away your fighting spirit. Sometimes, fighting spirit is very important. If you encounter a situation where you can't escape in the future, without the will to fight, you won't have any chance of winning.
The Battle is indeed dangerous, but each of us should have the courage and faith to fight for what's important in our hearts, rather than just living for the sake of living."
Kamishiro looked at Minato Namikaze with a strange expression.
To be honest, Kamishiro simply let Minato Namikaze's words slip in one ear and out the other.
Because Kamishiro at this moment simply couldn't understand what Minato Namikaze was saying.
In Kamishiro's heart, only by ensuring his own survival first could he have a good life.
If he died, he'd have nothing.
However, Kamishiro still nodded obediently and said, "I understand, Lord Minato. I'll definitely take your words as my motto, engrave them in my mind, and resolutely follow your instructions!"
Minato Namikaze gave a twitch at the corner of his mouth. Although Kamishiro agreed readily, it was just that - readily. Just by looking at Kamishiro's expression, one could tell that he hadn't listened.
But Minato Namikaze didn't expect Kamishiro to take his words to heart right away. It would take time to make Kamishiro acknowledge Konoha and consider himself a part of it.
Minato Namikaze and the three of Kakashi left Kamishiro's tent.
Obito and Rin Nohara went back to their own tents, while Minato Namikaze kept Kakashi behind.
Minato Namikaze took Kakashi to his own tent.
Minato Namikaze said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, I'm going to carry out a mission soon. From now on, you'll have to act on your own. You'll still be in charge of all the operations. There are also some things I need to tell you."
Kakashi nodded seriously.
Without a doubt, what Minato Namikaze was about to say next must be related to Kamishiro.
Minato Namikaze instructed Kakashi, "Your main task from now on is to keep an eye on Kamishiro. I put a mark on Kamishiro's ninja hawk. I'll teach you how to sense this mark later. As long as the ninja hawk gets within a certain range of you, you'll be able to detect it.
Once you sense the ninja hawk, check if it's carrying a letter sent by the undercover agent (Kamishiro) or a reply. Then knock the hawk out and examine the letter. Then, depending on the situation, imitate the handwriting and make some modifications.
Let the Kazekage know that the undercover agent (Kamishiro) is having a smooth undercover operation here. And make Kamishiro believe he can't go back and has to stay in Konoha.
If Kamishiro tries to report some information to the Kazekage, Kakashi, you make your own judgment. If the information isn't important, you don't need to modify it. But I don't think Kamishiro can get hold of any important information anyway.
And Kakashi, the Third Hokage and I both think that Kamishiro is someone we can recruit. That's why I've kept him by our side, and it's also serious when I ask you to treat Kamishiro as a real comrade."
Kakashi looked at Minato Namikaze in surprise.
Originally, Kakashi thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze had some special arrangements for Kamishiro, which was why they brought him along. He never expected that they really wanted to recruit Kamishiro.
