Chapter 94: So verbose even the Trantor got irritated Tranting


    Bordend Inn.


    Uchiha Itachi never mentioned his assessment tasks.


    This future double agent for the Uchiha n and the higher-ups of Konoha only ryed to Hatake Kakashi the intelligence about Uchiha Obito provided by the members of the intelligence department.


    "Obito wasn''t caught?"


    Hatake Kakashi bowed his head in contemtion.


    The purpose of this squad''s visit to the Land of Earth was to trace the whereabouts of Uchiha Obito and, incidentally, to disrupt any other schemes he had in the Rock Vige.


    With Obito''s miraculous space-time ninjutsu, he could indeed easily escape capture by the Rock Vige. So, where would he go next?


    Did he leave?


    Or is he still hiding within the Rock Vige?


    Such matters couldn''t possibly be investigated with the help of the intelligence department members.


    The entire Rock Vige was locked down for a week, and tens of thousands of ninjas couldn''t find Uchiha Obito''s whereabouts. Could the members of the Konoha''s intelligence department manage to find him?


    And most importantly...


    Was Uchiha Obito''s assassination of the Third Tsuchikage, noki, with the power of the Five-Tails Jinchriki meant to take control of the Rock Vige, or was there another plot?


    To investigate Obito''s ns and gather more information about him, it was essential to find a way to contact the Five-Tails Jinchriki in the Rock Vige...


    Only the Five-Tails Jinchriki had been in contact with Uchiha Obito, and just like the Three-Tails Jinchriki, Yagura, he must know something...


    "What about the information on the Five-Tails Jinchriki?"


    Hatake Kakashi proposed a very risky infiltration n: "I''ll find a way to infiltrate the Rock Vige, I must meet with that Five-Tails Jinchriki..."


    Of course.


    There''s a problem.


    Even if he could meet the Five-Tails Jinchriki, there''s no guarantee he could learn anything about Uchiha Obito from him, and there''s a high chance he could be captured...


    This operation''s risk is immense, akin to a nine deaths and one life situation.


    The slim chance of survival hinges on whether they can persuade the Five-Tails Jinchriki to willingly provide information and help capture Uchiha Obito, who controls him.


    However, for ninjas, this is precisely what they are trained for in school. Every infiltration to steal intelligence involves the risk of being captured by the enemy or even losing their lives.


    The most painful part is...


    Before obtaining a piece of intelligence, the ninjas who sacrifice themselves for these intelligence-gathering infiltrations do not know whether the intelligence will be useful.


    Ninjas seem to always pay a high price toplete missions that may not be cost-effective, risking a life for information about Uchiha Obito.


    This is normal.


    The threat posed by Uchiha Obito is too great, yet information about him is too scarce.


    Akihara Kagura feels that the cost-effectiveness of such infiltration ns is too low because he has a wealth of information about Uchiha Obito, even affecting Obito''s thinking...


    "I feel like the first step of this infiltration idea is unreliable..."


    Akihara Kagura looked at Hatake Kakashi''s white hair, shaking his head: "Captain Kakashi, are you sure... no one in the Rock Vige recognizes you?"


    "..."


    Hatake Kakashi couldn''t be sure of that.


    Not to mention anything else, the number of Rock ninjas who died by his hand during the war period is not small. In addition, over these years, the Rock ninjas he killed while on missions...


    If Hatake Kakashi were to announce his presence here, this Inn would immediately be filled with Hatake Kakashi''s enemies, and there might even be a line outside...


    "Let me do it."


    Akihara Kagura took the initiative to take on this task, saying nonchntly, "I suppose no one from the Rock Vige recognizes me, so I can boldly infiltrate..."


    "This is even more dangerous for you..."


    Hatake Kakashi shook his head, looking at Akihara Kagura and said, "Kagura, you are the future of the Konoha, you cannot be lost here."


    Moreover, this guy has not receivedplete infiltration training; it''s likely that he might be discovered by the people of the Rock Vige before he even sees the Five Tails Jinchuriki!


    The Wood Release of Akihara Kagura will be like the First Hokage Hashirama, bing a powerful deterrent for the Konoha against major viges in the future.


    This timeing to the Land of Earth, bringing Akihara Kagura along was mainly because of his experience fighting with Uchiha Obito, and secondly because of his formidablebat ability, capable of breaking through if surrounded by arge number of enemies...


    Of course.


    It''s not very realistic for Akihara Kagura to fight his way out of the Rock Vige...


    "Don''t worry."


    Akihara Kagura, facing Hatake Kakashi''s firm opposition, added, "I am a ninja born from the Root; I will immediately devise aplete infiltration n."


    "First, tell me the n''s approach..."


    Hatake Kakashi still felt somewhat unreliable, but he wanted to hear Akihara Kagura''s n, to see if it could provide some insights for himself.


    Akihara Kagura extended his palm confidently and revealed his n: "I''ll first infiltrate the Rock Vige, then capture the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, and torture the information about the Five Tails Jinchuriki''s location out of him..."


    "Calm down a bit!"


    Hatake Kakashi helplessly touched his forehead, regretting expecting anything from Akihara Kagura''s n: "Don''t think that all vige leaders are like Lord Mizukage; the Third Tsuchikage Onoki''s strength is terrifying..."


    "Give me an example?"


    Akihara Kagura asked for an example.


    "..."


    Hatake Kakashi really couldn''t give one.


    The reputation of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki mostly spread among the older generation of ninjas, after all, this Tsuchikage is almost seventy years old, trying not to move his old arms and legs...


    Hatake Kakashi could only exin briefly with past information: "The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki the Fence-Sitter, possesses Dust Release, which is abination of wind, earth, and fire chakra natures. It''s a Kekkei Tota, a power stronger than a normal Kekkei Genkai..."


    "It sounds stronger than Wood Release..."


    Akihara Kagura seemed somewhat wistfully longing.


    "It should... be not as good as Wood Release."


    Hatake Kakashi is also not very familiar with this matter.


    Although the Third Tsuchikage Onoki''s Dust Release and the First Hokage Hashirama''s Wood Release have never fought against each other, it''s certain that Onoki''s strength cannotpare to Hashirama''s.


    "Let me do it."


    Uchiha Itachi volunteered, seriously proposing his n: "I can first ask the members of the intelligence department to secretly find out the location of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, then sneak into Rock Vige, and secretly meet with that Five-Tails Jinchuriki..."


    "An excellent n, but still too dangerous..."


    Hatake Kakashi sincerely praised, but also somewhat disagreed.


    This n could give him some ideas, mainly that the intelligence department''s members could help secretly find out the Five-Tails Jinchuriki''s location, to avoid getting lost in Rock Vige.


    The n proposed by Akihara Kagura to "capture the Tsuchikage and interrogate for information" was too outrageous, making Itachi''s otherwise ordinary infiltration n seem outstanding.


    "That..."


    Karin carefully interjected from the side: "Since sneaking in is so dangerous, why not think of a way to reduce their guard personnel?"


    ...


    Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi fell into silence.


    Akihara Kaguraughed, messing up Karin''s hair: "We release the information that Uchiha Obito is outside, which should attract a lot of people, right?"


    Uchiha Itachi nodded, seriously continuing: "Create a piece of information at a certain location that attracts Rock Vige''s attention. Even if it doesn''t lure people out, just drawing more stationed Rock ninjas out would significantly reduce the risk of infiltration..."


    "This is easy to handle."


    Akihara Kagura immediately proposed a n that would definitely be opposed by Hatake Kakashi: "I''ll disguise myself as Uchiha Obito and then kill all the people in a city, intentionally letting a few escape to report back to Rock Vige..."


    "This n is already excessively extreme..."


    Hatake Kakashi expressed his opposition with a helpless look: "Killing an entire city''s people is too bloody, and if it''s discovered in the future, it could bring great trouble to Konoha..."


    Akihara Kagura immediately proposed his second n: "Then I''ll kill the people of a small town, which seems less bloody..."


    "Still no good!"


    Hatake Kakashi exined seriously: "It''s not about how many people you kill, but the act of killing itself. We cannot harm innocent civilians..."


    "Then can I go kill a few Rock ninjas?"


    Akihara Kagura seemed somewhat resigned, but this statement seemed to inspire him, giving him an instant idea for an even more perfect n!


    Akihara Kagura immediately proposed his third n: "I will first disguise myself as a ninja from Cloud Vige and kill the border outpost ninjas of Rock Vige, which should trigger a war between them"


    "We"


    Hatake Kakashi seemed about to interrupt him.


    "Don''t rush, let me finish."


    A confident smile appeared on Akihara Kagura''s face as he continued, "Once the war breaks out, I will go around killing people on the battlefield, escting the war between them, and drawing out all the stationed ninjas of the Rock Vige"


    After finishing, Akihara Kagura looked at Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi, awaiting their feedback: "This way, the Rock Vige will inevitably be left vulnerable, allowing us to infiltrate it safely, even Captain Kakashi could get in"


    ""


    Hatake Kakashi broke out in a sweat upon hearing this.


    While the n was indeed good, there was no need for Uchiha Itachi to infiltrate the Rock Vige. Everyone could just pack up and head back to Konoha to prepare for the Great Ninja War


    "An infiltration n, is that necessary?"


    Hatake Kakashi massaged his temples: "We just want to infiltrate the Rock Vige, but this method is too extreme. You could be executed by the five great vige for starting a war"


    "Then I''ll disguise myself as Uchiha Madara"


    Akihara Kagura quickly adopted Hatake Kakashi''s suggestion.


    "It''s not about who you''re disguising as"


    Hatake Kakashi felt this kid was missing the point.


    Compared to Akihara Kagura''s n of starting a great ninja war, those ns of killing a city or a small town seemed somewhat reasonable


    No


    They were not reasonable either.


    He was being led astray by this guy.


    "This n takes too long, and too many idents could happen."


    Recalling his own assessment task timeline, Uchiha Itachi suggested, "We could try kidnapping an important person from the Land of Earth, or create some chaos in a location far from the Rock Vige"


    "This could work."


    Akihara Kagura immediately supplemented Uchiha Itachi''s n: "I''ll impersonate Uchiha Obito and kidnap the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, and if we''re lucky, we might even get a ransom."


    "..."


    Hatake Kakashi felt there was something wrong with his subordinate''s thinking. Why did they always want to sprint down the path of crime? Kidnapping a country''s Daimyo is a serious crime too!


    And...


    Can this guy stop impersonating Obito all the time? ording to Akihara Kagura''s outrageous actions, if he brings Obito back to Konoha in the future, other major countries might also force Konoha to decapitate Obito...


    "Don''t do unnecessary things..."


    "I''ve already decided, I will infiltrate Rock Vige myself."


    Hatake Kakashi decided to take the matter back into his own hands, cing his hands on his knees, seriously expressing his thoughts: "I''ve thought about it long ago, what price I am willing to pay to bring Obito back, even if it costs my life, I am willing to do so. This life was saved by Obito in the first ce, now it''s my turn to save his life..."


    "Don''t stop me now."


    Hatake Kakashi interrupted their attempts to persuade him, continuing: "Bringing Obito back, starting over, it was my responsibility alone, it has nothing to do with the two of you. You are the future of Konoha, you absolutely cannot sacrifice yourselves here."


    "Now, conveying thestmand of the captain of the Anbu Sixth Squad, if I get killed by someone from Rock Vige during the infiltration, the two of you, take Karin and immediately return to Konoha, report what happened to Lord Hokage."


    After Hatake Kakashi said all this, he then looked towards Akihara Kagura, as if wanting to leave hisst words: "Kagura, the person I''m most worried about is you."


    "You are a kind person, with your own love and bonds, just too long corrupted by the darkness of the Root, liking to solve problems with extreme methods."


    "This is wrong, extremism will continuously breed darkness, darkness will let hatred spread. In the future, when you encounter problems, don''t always think that killing can solve everything, there are always troubles in the world that killing cannot solve."


    "You are a true genius, more talented than anyone I''ve met. If there''s anyone in this world who can stop Obito from harming the ninja world in the future, then it must be you."


    "And..."


    Hatake Kakashi, stating hisst will, his gaze as calm as still water: "When you meet Obito again, help me pass him a message..."


    "Rin and I will be watching over his life from the Pure Land."
