Konoha camp in the Country of Grass.
Kamishiro was arranging things inside the tent.
Due to the tense situation here, it was impossible to sleep in a bed like he did in the Land of Hot Water.
Kamishiro got only a set of bedding from the logistics department, so he had to sleep on the floor.
Kamishiro couldn't stand this.
What if some snakes, insects, rats, or ants crawled on him?
What if he rolled over and fell off the 'bed' while sleeping?
Kamishiro's ninja way is 'Never let yourself suffer, no matter who else does!'
What? Isn't Kamishiro's ninja way 'Only by enduring what ordinary people can't, can you obtain what ordinary people can't!'?
The ninja way is static, but people are alive. One has to learn to be flexible.
So, using the materials given by Jiraiya, Kamishiro made a bed with his own hands.
It was stable. After laying the bedding on it and lying down, it was extremely comfortable, just like being on vacation.
Kamishiro took out a pen and paper. But this time, he wasn't writing a letter. Since he couldn't send it out anyway, he was drawing instead.
As a puppeteer, Kamishiro's drawing skills were top - notch.
Kamishiro drew three extremely abstract paintings.
Each one depicted a fat - faced figure, pushing abstract art to the extreme.
These three paintings corresponded to Rasa, Chiyo, and Ebizo respectively.
Mainly because Kamishiro had never seen the three of them before, so he drew based on the memories in his mind.
The purpose of these three paintings was to spur himself. These three culprits had made him become a traitor for no reason.
"Damn it, I'm not pretending anymore!"
Kamishiro punched through the three newly - drawn paintings with three blows.
What spur! It was just for venting anger!
"It's not satisfying. I'll make three puppets to vent my anger when I'm free. That's the good thing about being a puppeteer. If you want to vent, you can just make them yourself."
Kamishiro let out a sigh. Although it still wasn't entirely satisfying, he felt a bit better.
"Kamishiro, I'm coming to visit! Hey, how come you have a bed?"
Obito Uchiha came into Kamishiro's tent. Seeing the bed inside, he was very surprised.
Kamishiro rolled his eyes: "Why don't you just go and get one for yourself?"
"Really? Did I miss getting a bed just now? Then I'll go get one now!"
Obito Uchiha rushed in and then rushed out in a hurry.
Kamishiro shook his head: "Stupid humans, huh~"
Half an hour later, Obito Uchiha came back angrily: "Kamishiro, you tricked me! There aren't any beds at all!"
Kamishiro was lying on the bed, crossing his legs and looking at the scroll with scientific knowledge in his hand. Then he said nonchalantly: "I didn't say you could get a bed from the logistics department either!"
Obito Uchiha's face flushed red: "You clearly told me to get one! Do you know how embarrassed I was? A bunch of people looked at me like I was an idiot! I've lost all my face!"
Kamishiro shot a sidelong glance at Obito Uchiha, whose face was red with anger, and calmly said, "I told you to get one, but I didn't say you had to go to the logistics department for it."
Obito gritted his teeth loudly as he glared at Kamishiro.
Finally, Obito did something unexpected to Kamishiro.
Obito leaped and landed directly on Kamishiro's bed.
Now Kamishiro got anxious. "What are you doing, Obito!"
Obito said cheekily, "What am I doing? I'm staying right here! Unless you get me a bed!"
"There's no bed. I made this one! Get off now!"
Kamishiro pushed Obito, but Obito clung tightly to the edge of the bed and refused to let go.
"I don't care! Whether you make it or get it, since you said so, you have to do it for me!"
Now it was Kamishiro's turn to turn red in the face. "Hey! I'll make one for you, okay? Get off first!"
Looking at the red - faced Kamishiro, Obito felt extremely satisfied.
However, Obito didn't fall for it. "Make it first, and then I'll get off. Otherwise, this bed is mine!"
Kamishiro looked at Obito in disbelief. How could he suddenly become so smart?
Originally, Kamishiro wanted to trick Obito off the bed, but unexpectedly, he failed this time.
Kamishiro pushed Obito two more times, but Obito held on tightly. Kamishiro gave in.
He should have known better than to tease Obito.
Anyway, it wouldn't take much effort to make a bed. So be it.
Soon, the bed for Obito was done.
Kamishiro said to Obito, who was still on his bed, in a bad mood, "It's done. Get off my bed right now!"
"Sure thing!"
Obito made a carp's leap from the bed, walked around the newly - made bed, and his face beamed with joy.
"I forgive you!"
After saying that, Obito picked up the bed and ran off.
Kamishiro was stunned. Obito didn't even say thank you and had the nerve to say he forgave him. Who could stand this!
However, Obito was already out of sight. Kamishiro was so angry but had no one to vent his anger on.
Kamishiro grumbled and went back to his bed to continue reading.
The next day.
While Kamishiro was still sleeping, Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze had already gone to the combat command room to see Shikaku Nara.
Shikaku Nara said seriously, "Lord Jiraiya, Minato, I'm going to assign you a mission!"
Jiraiya and Minato also nodded seriously. "Just tell us, Shikaku!"
Shikaku Nara said in a deep voice, "From now on, you two will form a team to carry out independent operations. The mission's end time is unknown, which means you'll be on long - term solo missions outside, potentially lasting for a month or several months, and you'll have to survive on your own."
Your mission is to penetrate deep behind enemy lines and act independently. Whether it's cutting off their supply lines or launching Sneak Attacks on their troops, it's entirely up to you. I need you to put enough pressure on them.
This mission can only be accomplished by you, Minato, because of your high mobility. Lord Jiraiya, please assist Minato. If you can obtain any intelligence, please transmit it to us immediately.
Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze took on the mission and replied in unison, "Got it!"
Minato Namikaze told Shikaku Nara, "Shikaku, there's a rather special guy in my squad named Kamishiro. He's the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai ninja. He's going to act with Kakashi and the others. Please take a bit more care of them."
Shikaku Nara gasped in surprise, "So the Magnet Release ninja is with you, Minato. Can we trust him?"
Minato Namikaze nodded and replied, "Yeah, and Kakashi and the others will watch over Kamishiro."
Shikaku Nara promised Minato Namikaze, "Roger that. I'll look after your students and the Magnet Release ninja. Then, Minato, Lord Jiraiya, get ready and you can set off at any time."
After leaving the combat command room, Minato Namikaze told Jiraiya, "Teacher Jiraiya, once I've packed up, I'll go see Kakashi and the others and give them a few pointers. Then I'll come to you."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the camp entrance later."
Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze parted ways. Minato Namikaze didn't really have much to pack since he'd only arrived at the camp yesterday. He just grabbed the essential combat gear.
After getting ready, Minato Namikaze made his way to the tent where Kamishiro, Kakashi, and the other two were.
