Chapter 55: Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya's Troubles
Four more days had passed.
During these days, Minato Namikaze had tried various methods many times to make Kamishiro summon a ninja hawk, but all of them failed without exception.
This left Minato Namikaze extremely puzzled and he even suspected that Kamishiro had long known the intelligence was false.
However, seeing the naive innocence in Kamishiro's eyes, Minato was certain that Kamishiro definitely didn't know the intelligence was false.
Then why didn't Kamishiro try to send the intelligence back to Sunagakure?
Now, the person beside Minato Namikaze had been repced by Jiraiya.
Actually, it had been repced by Jiraiya three days ago.
Because Tsunade thought Kamishiro was pying tricks on them and almost rushed in to beat him up.
Thankfully, Minato Namikaze stopped her in time. To prevent Tsunade from beating Kamishiro, Minato found Jiraiya, who was already able to walk, to help.
However, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya also tried several times, but Kamishiro remained unmoved, which almost drove Minato crazy with frustration.
Jiraiya squinted at Kamishiro's tent not far away and said seriously to Minato Namikaze, "Minato, give that kid Kamishiro a shock."
Minato Namikaze asked, "What kind of shock?"
"Just cooperate with me and talk. Follow me!"
The familiar location and the familiar people.
Jiraiya exaggeratedly said to Minato, "Minato, I've received some confidential intelligence. Kirigakure is pnning something big. I heard they're going to unch a sneak attack on Sunagakure, probably in about half a month."
Minato Namikaze pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? If Sunagakure isn't on guard, won't they be severely hit?"
Jiraiya sighed and said, "Yeah, if Sunagakure doesn't know this intelligence, they're doomed."
Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze took turns saying how dangerous Sunagakure's situation was.
Inside the tent, Kamishiro covered his mouth, looking in great pain.
However, this pain was from holding back his ughter.
Kirigakure is going to attack Sunagakure?
Is the Third Mizukage out of his mind? Why would he attack a god - forsaken pce like Sunagakure?
For a mouthful of sand, seriously?
Everyone in the ninja world knows how poor Sunagakure is.
So what if the sneak attack is successful?
It can be said that only Sunagakure causes trouble for others, not the other way around.
Because there's really no benefit.
Man, these days have been so comfy. Lying in bed every day and having the medical ninja bring him meals.
Although his injuries were just superficial and had already healed, he could have left long ago. But Kamishiro stubbornly refused to leave, ciming he had internal injuries. The medical ninja was also helpless against this stubborn Kamishiro.
And in these days, Kamishiro finally could read some books in peace.
Moreover, every day here, one could hear Minato Namikaze, or Tsunade or Jiraiya, talking about the Baji of Sunagakure. It was truly interesting.
Kamishiro sighed to himself, thinking he'd really love to spend the rest of his life in this tent and never leave.
As expected, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya failed again.
It was already the sixth day, which meant they only had one day left.
If Kamishiro still couldn't summon the ninja hawk tomorrow, even if he managed to do so ter, there might not be enough time.
Jiraiya was really puzzled now. "What's up with that brat? I've id it on thick, practically said Sunagakure's gonna get wiped out. Doesn't he care about Sunagakure at all?"
Minato Namikaze said helplessly, "According to the memories of Kamishiro that Xiangyi explored, Kamishiro hardly ever went out in Sunagakure and basically didn't communicate with anyone. So he might not have much affection for Sunagakure."
Minato Namikaze sighed. "Now it's a problem. How can we make Kamishiro summon the ninja hawk?"
After thinking for a while, Jiraiya suggested, "How about asking your three students? They've spent more time with Kamishiro than you. So they must know him better than you. Maybe they have a way."
Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up and he agreed very much. "That makes a lot of sense!"
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya immediately gathered Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.
Minato Namikaze briefly told the whole thing to Kakashi and the other two.
Then Minato Namikaze asked, "Kakashi, Obito, Rin, do you three have any good ideas to make Kamishiro summon the ninja hawk?"
Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara gnced at each other and said in unison, "This is very easy."
Minato Namikaze looked at the confident Kakashi and the others and reminded them, "I also thought it was easy at first, but then I failed."
Obito adjusted his sungsses and said coolly, "Teacher, the method is wrong."
Kakashi compined to Obito, "Stop being so cool. Hurry up and help Teacher Minato solve the problem!"
Then Kakashi said to Minato Namikaze, "Teacher Minato, leave this matter to us. Obito, Rin, let's go."
The three of Kakashi headed straight for Kamishiro's tent.
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya wanted to see how the three of Kakashi were going to solve the problem of Kamishiro that had been bothering them for six days.
The three of Kakashi arrived at Kamishiro's tent.
Seeing the three of Kakashi, Kamishiro greeted them happily, "Yo, you guys came to see me!"
Kakashi said seriously, "Kamishiro, there's a mission."
Seeing Kakashi's serious expression, Kamishiro became vigint. "Mission? What mission? I'm still injured now!"
Obito continued to act cool and said, "It'll do us both good."
Kamishiro rolled his eyes at Obito Uchiha and said, "What a good job, my ass!"
Kakashi said seriously, "The four of us must take on this mission. It's a tough one. In 15 days, the four of us will head to the Land of Earth to unch a Sneak Attack on the Iwagakure ninja troops [Transporting Supplies]."
Kamishiro was stunned and stared bnkly at Kakashi. "The four of us? [Sneak Attack] the Iwagakure ninja troops? What about Lord Minato?"
Kakashi replied, "Teacher Minato and the others will draw the enemy's fire up front. This [Sneak Attack] mission is just for the four of us!"
Kamishiro jumped right off the bed, his voice getting shrill. "Are we four really going to [Sneak Attack] the Iwagakure ninja troops? Isn't that just suicide?"
Kakashi looked like he was ready to face death. "Indeed, this mission is very risky. But it's all for Konoha. There's no room for discussion. Get ready, Kamishiro. We'll move in 15 days!"
Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara left Kamishiro's tent right away, not giving Kamishiro a chance to say a word.
Kamishiro was completely numb now.
How could the four of us possibly succeed in [Sneak Attack]ing the Iwagakure ninja troops? Among the four of them, only he and Kakashi were a bit more powerful.
It was the Iwagakure ninja troops, not just an Iwagakure ninja squad.
A troop consisted of at least ten ninjas.
Kamishiro paced back and forth anxiously in the tent.
The Land of Earth seems quite close to the Land of Wind...
Should he just run away?
Leaving aside whether he can escape or not, even if he did, wouldn't the Third Kazekage punish him severely when he went back?
No. First, he'd write a letter to see if he could get the Third Kazekage to agree to end his undercover agent career. If the Third Kazekage agrees, that would be great. If not, he'll think of other ways then.
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya stared at Kamishiro with their mouths slightly open as he sneaked out of the tent not long after the three of Kakashi left.
Was it really that easy?
