Uchiha Itachi once again ignored Akihara Kagura's advice.
Just like most people of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi also has a stubborn and paranoid side and will not listen to Akihara Kagura's advice at all.
This small team set off towards the Kingdom of Earth.
Shortly after they left, the Kaguya (Taketori) clan sneaked into the forest and found that the defense line of the Country of Grass had disappeared without a trace. This group of crazy ninjas did not care whether it was a trap and headed straight towards the Kusanagi Village.
Attack and simply occupy the empty Kusakuin Village.
many years ago.
Because a guy named Uchiha Madara was too powerful, the Uchiha clan led by him was more warlike than the Kaguya clan, and drove the Kaguya clan directly to the Kingdom of Water.
The Kaguya clan has been trying hard to find a settlement, but due to their bellicose nature, they are not accepted by other ninja villages. They even discussed attacking Kirigakure Village. This time they attacked the Land of Grass as mercenaries, so they may not have returned to the ninja continent.
the meaning of.
Now the Kaguya clan finally has its own place to stay.
Although this foothold was only a small country, it was also a place for them to stay, so they immediately sent people to fetch the people from the Kingdom of Water.
Konoha, Hokage Tower.
The changes in the Kingdom of Grass attracted Konoha's attention.
The entire ninja world knows that the Kaguya clan is full of warlike genes, and it is inevitable that they are worried that these guys will overestimate their capabilities and attack Konoha crazily.
"Let Rizu go on an envoy trip."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very familiar with the family history of the Warring States Period: "I remember, aren't the Hyuga clan distant relatives of the Kaguya clan?"
Just like the relationship between the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan, the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan are also related, and the two clans even occasionally maintain Sengoku aristocratic contacts.
"snort…"
Shimura Danzo always liked to hold opposing views on Sarutobi Hiruzen's normal views: "The Kaguya clan will cause trouble sooner or later, so let me find a chance to deal with them..."
"Danzo, you are a little extreme."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and continued: "Many things, if done properly, will actually bring greater benefits to Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out his pipe and blew out a puff of smoke: "Did you talk to Itachi last time? Is he willing to help us intervene in the Uchiha clan's attitude towards Konoha?"
"We'll find out when that little guy comes back from Iwagakure."
Shimura Danzo squinted his eyes, satisfied with his assessment of Uchiha Itachi: "If he is willing to be our eyes and ears, the Uchiha clan's affairs will be much easier to handle."
The land of earth.
The entire geographical environment is rocky and mountainous.
On the one hand, this geographical environment makes it difficult for Iwagakure Village to communicate with the outside world; on the other hand, this geographical environment also greatly reduces the possibility of the Earth Kingdom being invaded.
Iwagakure Village only needs to defend on narrow roads. Unless it is invaded from the coastline, it will be difficult for other villages to invade the Earth Kingdom from the land. Even if they go deep, there is a risk of annihilation of the entire army.
The location of Iwagakure Village is famous for its strong defense. It is surrounded by dense fortress rocks, making it extremely difficult to sneak into it.
Other than that.
The number of ninjas in Iwagakure Village should be the largest among the five major ninja villages.
During the Third Ninja World War, Iwagakure Village fought on multiple fronts at the same time. On the one hand, it sent troops to attack the Land of Fire and almost broke through the Fire Country's defense line; on the other hand, it sent tens of thousands of troops to besiege the ninja troops of Kumogakure Village. If it weren't for Kumogakure Village,
After the Third Raikage risked his life, the entire elite force of Kumogakure Village was at risk of being annihilated.
same.
Most of the ninjas in Iwagakure Village have a hard time recognizing their own ninjas, and the ninjas need to perform commissioned tasks to maintain their lives. Many Iwagakure ninjas rarely have the opportunity to meet a companion who they have met once in their lifetime.
After Yakushi Kabuto sneaked into Iwagakure Village, he has been trying every means to find the Yakushi Master Nonou who is also lurking in Iwagakure Village. He hopes to meet with his own dean and inform him of the conspiracy of Danzo Shimura.
And Akihara Kagura, who was forgotten by the dean.
Unfortunately, the time is too short.
Kabuto Yakushi doesn't know Yakushi Nonou's code name either.
If Yakushi Noono no longer lurks in Iwagakure Village as a walking shrine maiden, and he rashly inquires about it, he may reveal the identity of the dean. In order not to reveal his identity, Yakushi Kabuto will have to live as a normal ninja.
result…
Another chaos occurred in Iwagakure Village when Obito Uchiha controlled the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki to assassinate the Third Tsuchikage Onoki. The entire Iwagakure Village was sealed off for a week.
This made Kabuto Yakushi's actions even more difficult.
Fortunately, the blockade of Iwagakure Village was finally lifted.
Kabuto Yakushi was afraid of attracting attention and did not dare to take any further actions. He could only continue to do the commissioned tasks in Iwagakure Village.
During the recent period, Kabuto Yakushi has been performing escort commissions in the border town of Earth Country, because he believes that Dean Yakushi Nonou may appear here, and Konoha will most likely ask them for Iwagakure Village and Uchiha
Obito's information.
as expected.
Kabuto Yakushi discovered that the contact code left for him by Konoha's intelligence personnel appeared in the border town, so he could only rush over to meet him.
result…
Kabuto Yakushi met a black-haired boy at the meeting place.
"Uchiha Itachi..."
Kabuto the pharmacist felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, it was Uchiha Itachi who came at this time and not Akihara Kagura.
After Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Kakashi and their group arrived in Earth Country, they asked them to find a place to stay first, and then they tried to contact the intelligence department personnel of Earth Country.
Good luck.
There happens to be a spy here.
Kabuto Yakushi walked towards Uchiha Itachi as if nothing had happened, walked up to the little guy, suddenly pulled his body over, and dragged the boy into an alley!
"I am Kabuto Yakushi, a member of the Intelligence Department."
Kabuto Yakushi silenced Uchiha Itachi with just one word.
"..."
Itachi Uchiha heard Kabuto Yakushi's name, but he didn't believe it directly. He still seriously exchanged the password of the Konoha Intelligence Department that belonged to Kabuto Yakushi.
"Docking successful."
Uchiha Itachi's face relaxed and he asked: "I'm here to ask for the assistance of the intelligence personnel to help us investigate the information about Uchiha Obito's control of the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Do you have the whereabouts of Uchiha Obito?"
"I know something."
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said softly: "When the five-tailed jinchuriki assassinated the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, he was subdued by Onoki on the spot. Onoki discovered that the five-tailed jinchuriki was controlled by the Sharingan. Uchiha Obito suddenly appeared.
body…"
"The third Tsuchikage Onoki tried to capture Uchiha Obito but failed. Uchiha Obito escaped and claimed that Iwagakure Village would be completely destroyed next time, which aroused Onoki's anger..."
"The entire Iwagakure Village has been sealed off for a week, and everyone is searching for the whereabouts of Uchiha Obito. So far, I have not found the results of this arrest operation..."
"Maybe I caught it... maybe I didn't catch it..."
"This is a secret that only the top management of Iwagakure Village knows. I, a genin, can't find any specific information. It's best to give me a little more time."
"Can."
Uchiha Itachi nodded.
This kind of thing is not something that is easy to find out.
Hearing that the person sent by his superior was willing to give him a little longer, Yakushi Kabuto felt a little more relaxed. As long as Konoha still needed his information, the crisis between himself and Yakushi Principal Noonoyu would probably come later.
It's time.
"correct."
Uchiha Itachi took out a red scroll and handed it to Yakushi Kabuto: "This is the latest mission given to you by Danzo-sama."
"I see."
Yakushi Kabuto reached out and took the red scroll, as if he remembered something, and suddenly asked: "By the way, I want to ask someone, how is Akihara Kagura doing at the root? I remember that you and him were both
He is a candidate for the Chuunin Exam, did he pass the exam?"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi hesitated.
The information about the members of this spy is too late!
At this time, Uchiha Itachi didn't know whether he should say anything more. He knew that Kabuto Yakushi and Akihara Kagura were very close, but once it was revealed that Akihara Kagura was also there, would it be a breach of contract if these two people contacted each other in private?
The rules of the Konoha Intelligence Department?
However…
Uchiha Itachi won't have to worry about this problem soon.
"Kabuto Yakushi, your question is so rude."
Akihara Kagura quietly appeared next to Yakushi Kabuto, and said somewhat casually: "The Uchiha Itachi standing in front of you will take over the position of root leader from Danzo-sama in the future, and ask him
Regarding the endurance test, isn’t this just poking his scars?”
"Akihara Kagura!"
Kabuto Yakushi's expression suddenly became a little panicked.
Although I have always been concerned about the news about Akihara Kagura, I definitely don’t want to see him here, especially at this time and place!
"Kagura-kun!"
Uchiha Itachi stood up and warned Akihara Kagura that he had violated Konoha's rules: "Unless permitted, private contact with members of the Intelligence Department is prohibited. Is this a violation of Konoha's regulations?"
Itachi Uchiha looked at Kabuto Yakushi, who was trembling a little, and said softly: "Kabuto Yakushi, you can go."
"yes."
Kabuto Yakushi immediately wanted to leave here. He couldn't waste any more time here. He had to find the dean as soon as possible!
Kabuto Yakushi knew that Akihara Kagura was lawless at the core. He didn’t think Akihara Kagura would abide by any rules, nor did he think Akihara Kagura wouldn’t dare to kill him and the dean!
but…
Kabuto the pharmacist was a little curious...
How could that Uchiha Itachi become the successor of Shimura Danzo? Is that guy Shimura Danzo about to die? What is the identity of Akihara Kagura?
"Don't leave in a hurry..."
Akihara Kagura watched Kabuto Yakushi stop with great interest, and said with a smile: "Kabuto Yakushi, you should know what it means for me to appear here, right?"
"I know…"
Kabuto Yakushi slowly lowered his head.
"That's good."
Akihara Kagura nodded with satisfaction and glanced at the red scroll in his hand: "It seems that you have a new mission, go and complete your mission first!"
"As for our business..."
"Don't worry about it for a while."
Akihara Kagura looked at the somewhat uneasy Kabuto Yakushi with a playful smile in his eyes.
"..."
Drops of cold sweat slowly slid down Yakushi Kabuto's forehead.
Akihara Kagura looked at Yakushi Kabuto, his smile getting stronger and stronger: "They are here, people who should be seen must be seen, and people who should be killed must be killed..."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi felt that things might not be as simple as he thought.
Is the relationship between Akihara Kagura and Yakushi Kabuto really as good as Hatake Kakashi said?
Why does Akihara Kagura speak with sarcasm, and why is Kabuto Yakushi so scared when he sees Akihara Kagura appear here?
"Yakushi Kabuto, please leave first."
Itachi Uchiha stopped in front of Akihara Kagura with a firm gaze and motioned for Kabuto Yakushi to leave first.
"..."
Yakushi Kabuto stood where he was, not daring to move.
Compared to Itachi Uchiha, Kabuto Yakushi was more worried about Akihara Kagura's attitude.
"Yakushi Kabuto, you can leave."
What Akihara Kagura said made Yakushi Kabuto grant amnesty.
Just when Kabuto Yakushi was about to leave, Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Itachi, as if talking to Uchiha Itachi: "Whether anyone can stop me from killing people in the future depends on your luck..."
Third update!
In the evening, there will be an extra chapter from yesterday’s first order!
