Chapter 59: Without a Conscience
Inside the tent.
Kamishiro didn't know how long he had been unconscious before he gradually woke up.
But when he opened his eyes, he could only see a little.
Because his eyes were swollen and he could only open them a tiny bit.
"Kamishiro, you're finally awake!"
Kamishiro turned his head with difficulty and found Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara sitting on the chairs beside his bed.
Kamishiro tried to get up, but his body ached so badly that he let out a pained groan.
Rin Nohara said "concernedly", "Kamishiro, don't move around. Your whole body is swollen. It'll hurt a lot if you move. Just have a good rest. Tell us if you want to eat or drink anything. If you need to go to the toilet, Kakashi and Obito Uchiha will help you."
Kamishiro said with a bit of a slurred speech, "I was beaten up... like being pinned to the ground without any chance to fight back. Do you know that?"
Obito Uchiha replied, "Of course we do."
Kamishiro widened his eyes as much as he could and stared directly at Obito Uchiha, grinding his teeth and asking, "You guys did it, right? I had a feeling at that time that you must have been one of those guys!"
Obito Uchiha, who was extremely guilty, quickly waved his hand and said, "No no no, it wasn't us. Just listen to me first!"
Afraid that Obito Uchiha would give it away, Kakashi took over and said, "Yeah, Kamishiro, it wasn't Obito Uchiha. You were almost dead. It was Teacher Minato who saved you."
Kamishiro wondered, "Teacher Minato saved me? But those damned bastards at that time just simply beat me up. They didn't seem to want to kill me."
Hearing Kamishiro call them "damned bastards", a vein popped up on the foreheads of Kakashi and the other two.
Kakashi tried to make his tone gentle and said, "Some Cloud ninjas secretly sneaked into the camp before. They wanted to kidnap a ninja from Konoha who knew some secret techniques, but it seems they got the wrong person and kidnapped you. In a fit of anger, they beat you up to vent their anger. Finally, when the Cloud ninjas wanted to kill you, Teacher Minato arrived in time and saved you."
Kamishiro was a bit puzzled. "Really?"
Kakashi said firmly, "Of course it's true. Otherwise, who do you think did it? Can Obito Uchiha beat you?"
Kamishiro agreed. "That's true."
Just as Obito Uchiha was about to retort, Rin Nohara pressed on Obito Uchiha's Sukune, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
Obito Uchiha's face instantly turned bright red.
'Rin's hand is on my leg! I won't wash these pants for a month!'
But Kamishiro still wasn't fully convinced because he always felt that it was someone from his own side who did it. "Obito Uchiha is no match for me, but there was more than one person at that time. If you all launched a Sneak Attack on me..."
Rin Nohara looked seriously into Kamishiro's eyes and said, "Kamishiro, you're our comrade. How could we beat you?"
"
Kakashi echoed, "Yeah, Kamishiro. And think it over. Did you do anything to reveal your identity before, which made the Cloud ninjas realize they had grabbed the wrong person?"
Kamishiro thought for a while and suddenly recalled that he seemed to have said he was a captive from Konoha rather than a ninja from Konoha before.
Had he really misjudged them?
Kakashi said seriously, with a straight face, "If you don't believe us, we can call Teacher Minato here. You don't trust us, but you must trust Teacher Minato, right?"
Kakashi got up and pretended to go and call Minato Namikaze.
Kamishiro quickly stopped Kakashi, "There's no need to call Lord Minato. I believe you. I trust you guys the most. I believe every word you say."
However, Kamishiro still felt something was off inside. This strange feeling was psychological, just an intuition.
His intuition told him that the three guys in front of him were all involved in his getting beaten up.
But they had brought up Minato Namikaze.
Would Minato Namikaze beat him up? Kamishiro wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Speak of the devil, and Minato Namikaze arrived.
Minato Namikaze entered the tent. Seeing that Kamishiro was awake, he smiled gently and asked, "You're awake, Kamishiro. How are you feeling?"
Kamishiro said somewhat aggrievedly, "Not good at all. I'm in pain all over."
Minato Namikaze apologized to Kamishiro against his conscience for the first time, "Sorry, Kamishiro. If I could have arrived earlier, you wouldn't have gotten hurt."
Hearing Minato Namikaze say this, Kamishiro's doubts were dispelled.
These three guys in front of him or that scoundrel Jiraiya might deceive him, but Minato Namikaze would never.
Minato Namikaze continued, "By the way, I have another piece of news for you. Kakashi and the others came to you before and said they were going to attack the Iwagakure ninja troops in the Land of Earth. This mission has been cancelled because it's too risky."
"Really... Ow! It hurts!"
Kamishiro was so overjoyed that he accidentally tugged at his wounds.
But even though it hurt now, he was still happy!
He didn't have to go and risk his life. It was just great.
"Alright, Kamishiro, you have a good rest. Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin, take good care of Kamishiro. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Minato Namikaze now felt a twinge of guilt in his conscience and quickly left the tent.
Now that Kamishiro was in a good state of mind, his stomach started to growl with hunger.
He had left the tent before to look for food. He didn't get to eat anything and instead got beaten up badly. Now his stomach was still empty.
Rin Nohara heard Kamishiro's stomach growling and stood up, "You're hungry, Kamishiro. I'll go and get you some food."
Kamishiro didn't refuse. He was really hungry now, "Okay, thank you, Rin."
Kamishiro squinted at Kakashi and Obito Uchiha, "I need to pee. You two help me go to pee."
Both Kakashi and Obito Uchiha twitched the corners of their mouths, looking a bit helpless.
What could they do? They could only help him up.
Kakashi and Obito Uchiha helped Kamishiro up from the sickbed, one on each side.
Kamishiro's elbow accidentally bumped into Obito Uchiha's abdomen.
Obito Uchiha gasped in pain immediately.
Due to Kamishiro's Headbutt, Obito Uchiha's abdomen was all bruised.
Kamishiro disdained and said, "Why are you so weak, Obito Uchiha? It's just that my arm accidentally touched your stomach. Do you have to make that face? Are you indulging in self-pleasure every night?
How old are you now? Around 10, right? You're not even old enough to have grown body hair yet. Take my advice and indulge in self-pleasure less. Look at how weak you are. Your face is as white as a sheet."
Obito Uchiha rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Wasn't his pale face all thanks to Kamishiro?
Because of Kamishiro's Headbutt, Obito Uchiha almost thought his intestines were smashed at that time.
He only felt relieved after Rin Nohara checked and said he was fine.
...
Now, Kamishiro, who was injured again, started living a reclusive life in the Konoha camp.
A few days later, Kamishiro's ninja hawk finally arrived at Sunagakure and delivered the letter to the Third Kazekage.
After the Third Kazekage untied and read the letter carried by the ninja hawk, his face changed instantly. He told the ninja behind him to immediately invite Ebizo and Chiyo over for a discussion.
