Chapter 57: Settle Scores for Both Enmities and Grudges
Jiraiya finished reading the letter that Minato Namikaze had written in Kamishiro's handwriting.
Jiraiya stroked his chin and thought, "Well, with Ōnoki's personality, after causing trouble for Konoha, he'll definitely drag Sunagakure into it. That guy won't fight a battle he's not sure of winning."
So when Ōnoki announces an attack on Konoha, he'll surely involve Sunagakure. However, if his invitation to Sunagakure goes unanswered, he won't act rashly, and this whole thing will probably end up fizzling out.
Minato Namikaze asked, "So, do we need to add anything else? If there are no Mondai, I'll tie it to Kamishiro's ninja hawk and send it off."
Jiraiya nodded and said, "No need to add anything. Sometimes, being too detailed isn't a good thing. It'll make the other side suspicious. Leaving them some room for imagination is better. Tie it on, Minato."
After Minato Namikaze tied the letter to the unconscious ninja hawk, Minato Namikaze and the other four instantly disappeared from the spot.
Five minutes later, the ninja hawk slowly came to.
After being dazed for 30 seconds, the ninja hawk preened the feathers on its wings with its beak and then took off.
It's used to it. It doesn't give a damn.
It just hoped that Kamishiro would go down soon.
The five of them, Minato Namikaze and the others, hiding in the shadows, all let out a sigh of relief when they saw the ninja hawk take off.
Minato Namikaze prayed, "I hope Kamishiro's ninja hawk has a smooth journey and can deliver the letter to the Third Kazekage safely."
Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the other two nodded in agreement. They also hoped that Kamishiro's ninja hawk would deliver the letter successfully.
After taking a deep breath, Jiraiya said, "The fake - intelligence matter is settled. Now, it's time to deal with that brat. Raise your hands if you want to join."
Obito Uchiha was the first to raise his hand, followed closely by Kakashi and Rin Nohara.
Minato Namikaze was still a bit hesitant. After all, he had just used Kamishiro's ninja hawk, and it made him feel like he was kicking someone down after using them.
Obito Uchiha snorted and said, "That bastard Kamishiro called you a sissy, Teacher Minato."
Rin Nohara chimed in, "Yeah, Teacher Minato. He also said you're always hanging out with female ninja!"
Kakashi also said in a strange tone, "That guy even said you go to the toilet and take baths with female ninja."
A vein popped on Minato Namikaze's forehead, and he slowly raised his hand.
Kamishiro really went too far with those rumors!
Where on earth does he look like a sissy!
Led by Jiraiya, they discussed for a while and quickly reached a consensus on the action against Kamishiro.
...
Three days passed in a flash.
These three days had been nerve - wracking for Kamishiro. Although he knew the ninja hawk definitely hadn't reached Sunagakure yet and might not even be halfway there, he still couldn't help wondering if it had arrived.
For the past three days, Kamishiro had been staying in his tent and didn't go anywhere.
There were only twelve days left, and in these twelve days, he would have to join the Suicide Corps in Iwagakure.
Kamishiro wracked his brains, thinking about what to do if the Third Kazekage refused to end his undercover agent mission.
If he just abandoned his undercover agent mission and fled back to Sunagakure, he might end up locked in that terrible prison.
The Third Kazekage was definitely capable of such a thing.
Should he flee to some other place?
But Kamishiro had no idea where to go.
"Sigh~"
Kamishiro let out a deep sigh.
His stomach growled.
No one had come to visit him in the past few days, and he'd been relying on the medical ninja to bring him food when she came to check on his health.
Although Kamishiro was socially awkward around strangers, he was a very sociable person around people he knew. He had a sweet tongue.
The medical ninja came to his tent every day to check on him. It was hard not to get to know her.
So when Kamishiro asked her, she readily agreed, perhaps because she thought he was good - looking.
But today, the medical ninja was late in coming to check on him. Kamishiro was extremely hungry.
"Forget it. I'll go find something to eat myself."
Kamishiro got up from his bed, left the tent, and headed towards the logistics area to see if there was anything to eat.
"Tsk, this kid finally came out! He's really good at staying put. He didn't step out of the tent even once in three whole days."
On a tree trunk, Jiraiya and Obito Uchiha were standing.
As for Kakashi, Rin Nohara, and Minato Namikaze, they weren't that free. They had their own business to attend to.
So the mission of keeping an eye on Kamishiro was assigned to Obito Uchiha and Jiraiya, who had nothing better to do.
Obito Uchiha guessed, "I think today, no one brought him food, and he was so hungry that he had to come out. Otherwise, he could have stayed in the tent for a month."
Jiraiya suddenly whipped his head around and stared at Obito Uchiha. "What did you say?"
Obito Uchiha didn't understand why Jiraiya was so suddenly excited. So he repeated what he'd just said.
Jiraiya looked at Obito Uchiha with a complicated expression. "Why didn't you say so earlier? We could have just stopped people from bringing him food. Then he would have come out on his own. We've wasted so many days waiting!"
Obito Uchiha thought about it. Jiraiya seemed to be right. He forced a smile and said, "Sorry, Lord Jiraiya. I didn't think of that."
Jiraiya sighed. Then, with a determined look in his eyes, he said, "Forget it. You go find Minato Namikaze and the others right away. I don't want to miss this chance. He's had three days of comfort. This time, it's payback time!"
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
Obito Uchiha ran off excitedly to find Minato Namikaze and the others.
Before long, Obito Uchiha brought Minato Namikaze, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara to join Jiraiya.
Obito squinted his eyes, looking at Kamishiro, who was holding food not far away and about to go back to the tent. "Lord Jiraiya, sorry to trouble you."
Jiraiya curled his lips into a 'merciless' smile. "It's no trouble. On the contrary, I'm more than happy to do it. Don't make a sound later."
Jiraiya used the Transformation Technique to turn into a stranger, then used the Body Flicker Technique and appeared in front of Kamishiro.
Kamishiro looked blankly at the 'stranger' in front of him. "Who are you?"
Jiraiya quickly made Hand seals with both hands.
The next second, the light in Kamishiro's eyes completely disappeared, as if he was in a dark world like a black silk cloth had descended.
Jiraiya cast the Genjutsu: Darkness Realm Technique on Kamishiro.
Once the jutsu was cast, it would create a dark environment to block the opponent's vision. In the dark environment, only the jutsu - user and teammates could see the things inside.
That is to say, now Kamishiro was as good as blind, and only Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi could see.
Looking at Kamishiro shouting in panic, Jiraiya and Obito showed seemingly kind smiles.
Although Kakashi, Rin Nohara, and Minato Namikaze were not as exaggerated, they all curled their lips into a smile.
Next, it's time for some fun!
