Kakashi didn't expect that Minato Namikaze really wanted to recruit Kamishiro instead of having some special plan.
Minato Namikaze continued to tell Kakashi, "Kakashi, if you have any problems (Mondai), turn to Jiraiya-sensei." He added, "Jiraiya-sensei already knows about Kamishiro, and I've also briefed him on the situation."
"Since I'm going deep into enemy territory for the next operation, I may not be back for a long time. You guys be careful."
Kakashi nodded and replied, "I got it, Minato-sensei!"
Minato Namikaze smiled gently, "Kakashi, then I'll leave it to you. Now, I'll teach you how to sense the mark."
After Minato Namikaze taught Kakashi how to sense the mark, Kakashi left the tent.
Minato Namikaze immediately gathered with a team of jounin and left Konoha's camp to carry out the mission.
Now, Minato Namikaze had to let the Cloud Ninjas know that the Yellow Flash was back!
...
Kamishiro stayed at Konoha's camp for three days.
During these three days, except when Kakashi and the others called him out of the tent for meals, Kamishiro didn't leave the tent.
However, in these three days, Obito and Kamishiro had become quite good friends.
At this moment, Obito was sitting opposite Kamishiro, curiously watching Kamishiro fiddling with Kanna.
Obito asked, "Kamishiro, this Puppet looks so real. Did you make it?"
Kamishiro proudly puffed out his chest, "Of course! I made Kanna all by myself! I'm not bragging. Among those who make Puppets in Sunagakure Village, if I say I'm second, no one dares to say they're first!"
Obito exclaimed, "Wow, Kamishiro, you're so amazing!"
Then Obito looked at Kanna's face and curiously asked, "Kamishiro, the face of your Puppet looks so much like you."
Kamishiro said proudly, "How could it not look alike? After all, this face was modeled after me. Isn't it super beautiful?"
Obito instantly lost interest.
It originally seemed quite beautiful, but after hearing that it was modeled after Kamishiro, it just seemed average.
Obito rolled his eyes and whispered, "Kamishiro, can you make a Puppet for me? Not a Puppet for The Battle, just a Puppet like a doll."
Kamishiro looked at Obito with a strange expression, "Obito, don't tell me you want me to make a Puppet modeled after Rin for you?"
Obito's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's butt, "No no no, it's not like that. I didn't say that. I was just joking, just a random joke."
Kamishiro told Obito seriously, "Obito!"
I have my principles, you know. I'd never make that kind of puppet. My puppets are proper battle The Battle puppets, not something to satisfy your desires!"
Obito pouted and lowered his head dejectedly. "Okay, I got it."
Just at that moment, a tall figure strode into the tent.
It turned out to be Jiraiya!
The moment Jiraiya saw Kanna, he showed a downright lecherous look. "Wow! What a hot puppet!"
Jiraiya looked at Kamishiro and asked, "Kamishiro, did you make this puppet?"
"Lord Jiraiya, I'm useless at everything except making puppets, which is just a hobby of mine. Unfortunately, no matter how well I craft them, my puppets can't be used in The Battle because I'm so bad at fighting."
Kamishiro was also startled when he saw Jiraiya. He never expected such a big shot like Jiraiya would come to his tent in person.
Caught by Jiraiya while fiddling with Kanna, Kamishiro quickly started to spin a story, emphasizing how useless he was.
Hearing what Kamishiro said, Jiraiya looked at him with a subtle expression.
Just as Minato Namikaze had said.
Jiraiya smiled at Kamishiro and said, "I've heard about this from Minato. But having low combat power isn't a big deal. As long as you're willing to work hard, even with little talent, you can become a capable ninjas."
Suddenly, Jiraiya flashed to Kamishiro's side, hooked his right arm around Kamishiro's neck, and asked slyly, "Hey, Kamishiro, can you do custom orders?"
Kamishiro immediately understood what Jiraiya meant and flashed a lecherous grin on his face. "Of course, Lord Jiraiya. I can make whatever you want. It'll have a great figure and a beautiful face. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Jiraiya let out a chuckle. "Seems like we share the same interests. I'll think carefully about my requirements, and you make one for me. It doesn't need to be a The Battle puppet. I just need one to soothe my soul on lonely nights."
Kamishiro patted his chest and promised, "I'll definitely handle it perfectly for you, Lord Jiraiya! It'll surely soothe your lonely soul!"
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Obito, who had been watching in disbelief, interrupted the interaction between Kamishiro and Jiraiya.
Obito looked at Kamishiro and pointed at Jiraiya. "Kamishiro, the puppet Lord Jiraiya wants you to make is the same as the one I asked you to make just now, right?"
Kamishiro nodded. "Yeah, that's right."
Obito asked in disbelief, "Then why did you say you had principles and would never make that kind of puppet for me, but you're okay with making one for Lord Jiraiya? What about your principles?!"
Kamishiro waved his hand nonchalantly. "Well, principles can be flexible. Lord Jiraiya works so hard for Konoha every day. What's wrong with me making a puppet for him?"
If I make a Puppet for Lord Jiraiya, he'll be in a good mood. When he's in a good mood, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Then Lord Jiraiya can contribute more to Konoha.
And I, the one who makes Lord Jiraiya happy, am also contributing to Konoha. So, I'm doing this for Konoha!"
Obito was stunned by what Kamishiro said.
Not only Obito, but Jiraiya was also taken aback.
How did this suddenly become something for the sake of Konoha?
Well... it does make sense!
Obito quickly said, "If that's the case, then making one for me is also contributing to Konoha!"
Kamishiro rolled his eyes at Obito. "Obito, you're so full of yourself. It's so presumptuous of you. How can you compare with Lord Jiraiya? Lord Jiraiya is one of the Sannin of Konoha, a powerful ninja who has made outstanding contributions to Konoha. He's a true ninja among all ninjas. He's my idol. And what about you?"
Obito stared blankly at Kamishiro. "But... isn't your idol the Hokage?"
Kamishiro shrugged. "There's no rule that I can only have one idol. I admire the Hokage, Lord Minato, and Lord Jiraiya. They're all my idols. So what?"
Jiraiya clapped his hands vigorously and looked at Kamishiro with admiration.
"Kamishiro, you're really something! I have high hopes for you!"
