Chapter 128: It's Okay Even at Six Years Old
Kamishiro, Kakashi, and the other two had been on missions for over a month, mostly carrying out sneak attacks.
There were only four of them in Kamishiro's team, so it was impossible for them to engage in a frontal The Battle with the Sunagakure Village ninjas in a squad mission.
Moreover, the Sunagakure Village ninjas wouldn't fight Konoha head - on either. They would attack when they saw a small number of enemies and retreat when there were too many. After all, the Sunagakure Village ninjas are currently in a complete chaos with Konoha ninjas and Mist ninja in the border area, and they are outnumbered.
Konoha, Sunagakure Village, and Kirigakure are now in a complete mess on the border.
For example, when the Sunagakure Village ninjas are fighting with Konoha ninjas, a group of Mist ninja might suddenly charge out and join The Battle.
After Kamishiro and the other three completed a mission and killed three Sunagakure Village ninjas, they returned to the camp. They planned to submit the completed mission, take a rest, and then take on another one.
However, just after submitting the mission, Kamishiro overheard the conversation of the ninjas beside him.
"Have you heard? There's a Sunagakure Village ninja who's proficient in using Fire Release. He's been in a fierce The Battle with the Mist ninja and has killed a lot of them. The Mist ninja hate this ninja to the core."
"What Fire Release? I heard it's the legendary Kekkei Genkai, which seems to be Scorch Release."
"Oh, right. It seems to be called..."
Kamishiro rushed in front of the chatting ninjas and anxiously asked, "Is it Pakura who can use Scorch Release?!"
"Ah, yes! That's the right name!"
After getting a definite answer, Kamishiro stood still on the spot.
Kakashi and the other two walked to Kamishiro's side. Kakashi asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Kamishiro? Do you know this person?"
Kamishiro came to his senses and nodded. "Yeah, she was my only friend when I was in Sunagakure Village."
Hearing what Kamishiro said, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara fell silent.
His only friend had now become an enemy. Kamishiro must be feeling bad.
Kakashi thought to himself that when taking on the next mission, they should avoid this Pakura.
However, Kamishiro suddenly said seriously to Kakashi, "Kakashi, take on a mission that can get me close to Pakura."
Kakashi looked at Kamishiro in confusion. "Why?"
Kamishiro explained, "I haven't seen her for a long time. I want to see her. I still have something to say to her."
Obito attempted to persuade Kamishiro. "Kamishiro, you're on opposite sides now. If you meet, there might be a The Battle. Why not wait until the war is over? It should be all right to meet her then."
Kamishiro shook his head. "No, I need to ask for her help. If it's her, she should be able to do it!"
"Ah? Are you out of your mind?"
Obito couldn't hold back. He was extremely incredulous that Kamishiro wanted to ask an enemy for help.
Kakashi and Rin Nohara also thought Kamishiro had gone crazy, and quite badly at that.
Kamishiro twitched the corner of his mouth. "I'm perfectly sober and not sick. I really need her help. It would be very difficult for me to do that alone, but if Yagura helps, it can be done!"
Rin Nohara asked curiously, "What kind of help do you need from her, Kamishiro?"
Kamishiro briefly explained The Plan.
Obito and the other two were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
"Hey, this is so dirty of you!"
"Yeah, it's a really underhanded move!"
"If she gets discovered, she won't be able to stay in Sunagakure Village anymore. How could she help you?"
Kamishiro snorted. "Is it not dirty when they spread rumors about me? I'm just paying them back in their own coin! And... forget it. Whether Yagura will help me or not, I won't know until I see her."
Anyway, Yagura will be betrayed later. The harder she fights against the Mist ninja now, the more severely she will be backstabbed by Sunagakure Village later.
So, he's just helping Yagura earn a little interest for now.
But Kamishiro wasn't sure if Yagura would help him.
Even Kamishiro, who thought he had little affection for Sunagakure Village, had given the village several chances.
And now Yagura loved Sunagakure Village deeply.
Kakashi frowned tightly, pondering whether they should do as Kamishiro said.
As the team leader now, he was responsible for the whole team, so he needed to think carefully.
Kamishiro said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, if Yagura is willing to help me, then that old hag Chiyo definitely won't have the nerve to stay and give orders. This will be of great help to Konoha.
Moreover, even if Yagura really wants to fight us, we can just run away. As long as there isn't a crazy ninja like Lord Minato to stop us, it'll be quite easy for us to escape."
Obito also sided with Kamishiro at this time. "Come on, Kakashi. It's obvious that Kamishiro is serious this time."
Rin Nohara echoed, "Yeah, Yagura is Kamishiro's only friend. He must miss her a lot."
Obito and Rin Nohara started to daydream.
Obito said with a sigh, "I can feel how eager Kamishiro is to see that girl named Yagura. I know this feeling very well."
Obito glanced at Rin Nohara out of the corner of his eye.
Rin Nohara didn't notice Obito's look and sighed, "Yeah, Kamishiro must really like that girl. Otherwise, Kamishiro, who is afraid of danger, wouldn't take such a big risk to see her."
Obito sighed and slowly shook his head. "I hope there won't be a tragedy where two people who like each other have to fight each other because of their different stances."
At first, Kamishiro was quite happy to hear Obito and Rin Nohara speaking up for him.
How does it sound more and more off - track?!
Kamishiro looked at Obito and Rin Nohara with a strange expression: "You two are the ones with crazy ideas. I have a pure friendship with Pakura. She is six years older than me and is almost eighteen already. Although I regard her as a good friend, she sees me as her little brother!"
Obito and Rin Nohara's expressions immediately turned awkward.
So they had been overthinking.
But Obito immediately got his mind in the gutter again: "A six - year age difference isn't such a big deal. When you're 18, Pakura will only be 24. Doesn't that sound much better? It's just a six - year difference, not sixty. So..."
Kamishiro unceremoniously slapped Obito on the head: "Rein in your love - struck brain! Do you think everyone is like you?!"
Kamishiro looked at Kakashi, who was still deep in thought, and asked, "Kakashi, have you made up your mind?"
After a moment of hesitation, Kakashi said, "A six - year age difference... Oh no. Well then, okay. I'll take a mission that allows me to get close to Pakura."
Kamishiro's face turned as black as coal. This taciturn and flirtatious Kakashi. He had thought Kakashi was considering whether to accept the mission, but it turned out he had the same wrong ideas as Obito and Rin Nohara.
