Chapter 19: A Bit Disrespectful to Others
After Minato Namikaze left Kamishiro's tent, he headed to the tent where Kakashi was.
Kakashi's wounds had already been bandaged, but Rin was still checking him for other injuries.
Obito said with a disgruntled look, "Rin, even Kakashi himself said there are no other injuries. Why are you checking him so carefully?"
Rin said seriously, "We still need to be careful because the blades of the puppet controlled by Kamishiro seem to be coated with poison, so we're mainly checking if Kakashi is poisoned."
Obito frowned and sized up Kakashi. "This guy doesn't look like he's been poisoned at all."
Kakashi also said, "Yeah, Rin, I don't feel uncomfortable..."
Suddenly, Kakashi felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Obito quickly held Kakashi up. "Hey, Kakashi, don't tell me you're really poisoned?"
Kakashi still tried to be stubborn. "I'm not poisoned. I just feel a bit tired. It's all because of you, Obito. You've been chattering in my ear and making me even more tired!"
Obito said in disbelief, "Huh? You're blaming me for this?"
"Okay, Kakashi, stop talking. I've found the wound!"
Rin found a tiny wound on Kakashi's ankle, and the wound was slightly black.
Rin immediately treated the tiny wound on Kakashi's ankle.
Obito looked at the wound on Kakashi's ankle curiously. "This wound... How did you get it, Kakashi?"
Kakashi was also a bit confused. He had no idea when he got this injury. It seemed his ankle never had a chance to be hit.
"This should be the wound Kakashi sustained when he attempted to use Earth Release · Splitting Fang to sneak - attack Kamishiro during The Battle. When he failed the sneak - attack and retreated, he was scratched by the puppet's blade," Minato Namikaze entered the tent and guessed how Kakashi got injured.
Minato Namikaze asked, "So, Rin, how's it going? Can you cure Kakashi's poison? If it's troublesome, I'll go find the medical ninjas in the camp."
Rin shook her head. "Don't trouble them. This poison isn't very troublesome. Normally, this kind of poison takes effect very quickly, but fortunately, Kakashi only suffered a minor scratch and wasn't poisoned deeply, so the poison has just taken effect. We just need to inject an ordinary antidote into Kakashi, and he'll be fine soon."
As she was speaking, Rin had already injected an antidote into Kakashi's body.
After a while, Kakashi gradually recovered.
Kakashi asked, "Sensei, has that Kamishiro been brought back?"
Minato Namikaze nodded. "Yeah, he's been brought back. And after dawn, we'll take him back to Konoha."
"
Kakashi frowned and said sternly, "Sensei, Korega Kamishiro is hiding his strength. He didn't leave Konoha's camp when he had the chance. It's obvious that he has Mondai and is after Konoha. Is it really okay for us to take him back to Konoha?"
Minato Namikaze said with a smile, "It's perfectly fine. Moreover, it's already confirmed that he is an undercover agent sent by Sunagakure Village."
Obito said, shocked and confused, "Ah? It's confirmed that he is an undercover agent, and it's still okay?"
Minato Namikaze explained, "Because he can directly contact the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village through his ninja hawk."
Obito asked doubtfully, "So what?"
Kakashi already understood what Minato Namikaze meant and grumbled to Obito, "Dumbass, haven't you realized it yet? His ninja hawk can directly contact the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village. This means we can get information about Sunagakure Village through him or give false information to Sunagakure Village through him."
Obito suddenly got it, but annoyed at being called a dumbass by Kakashi, he said unhappily, "I already knew that."
Kakashi couldn't be bothered with Obito's stubbornness.
Minato Namikaze then said, "Just now, I intercepted the Scroll he sent to the Kazekage. It was all about his desire to return to Sunagakure Village. Nevertheless, I destroyed that Scroll and forged a new one stating that he has been very successful in his undercover mission here. Therefore, now we need him to stay with us."
As long as he's here, as Kakashi just said, we can give false information to Sunagakure Village, which will give Konoha an advantage in dealing with Sunagakure Village.
Moreover, he is not a voluntary undercover agent, and his undercover skills and experience are extremely poor. When you interact with him, don't let him realize that we've already discovered his undercover identity."
Actually, Minato Namikaze didn't want to tell Kakashi and the others about Kamishiro being an undercover agent at first.
But Kamishiro's undercover identity might fool Obito, but it's too hard to deceive Kakashi, and it's even difficult to deceive Rin Nohara.
It can be said that Minato Namikaze has never seen such a bad - at - his - job undercover agent. He might as well have written 'I'm not normal' on his face.
No, it's not that his professional level is bad; it's that he has no professional level at all.
So it's better to give Kakashi and the others a heads - up in advance.
...
After the sky began to brighten slightly, Minato Namikaze led Kakashi and the other two to Kamishiro's tent.
Kamishiro was lying sprawled out on the futon on the ground, sound asleep.
This sleeping posture made Minato Namikaze and the other three twitch at the corners of their eyes.
He was sleeping so soundly that he didn't even wake up when they walked in. How bold can he get?
Minato Namikaze squatted beside Kamishiro and patted his shoulder, "Kamishiro, wake up. It's time to set off."
Kamishiro was really sleepy. After being in a state of mental tension for so long, he had finally managed to fall asleep, and he had just fallen asleep for a short time.
So when Minato Namikaze patted Kamishiro, Kamishiro, who was sleeping soundly, didn't wake up.
Minato Namikaze patted Kamishiro again, using a bit more strength this time, and only then did he wake Kamishiro up.
Kamishiro sat up groggily and rubbed his eyes.
Because he rubbed his eyes, his vision became blurry, and he didn't clearly see Minato Namikaze in front of him. Moreover, his mind was extremely chaotic, and he was in a half - awake, half - asleep state.
"Uncle Kuidou, I'll be a good undercover agent. Please don't really lock me up in prison..."
Minato Namikaze, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara looked at Kamishiro with black lines on their foreheads.
Hey! Come on now! You're on an undercover mission right now. Is it really okay to say that right in front of them?
Isn't that a bit disrespectful to them?
Kamishiro's mind gradually cleared up. He saw Minato Namikaze, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara clearly in front of him and froze instantly.
What did he just blurt out?
In Kamishiro's dream, while he was in Sunagakure Village, he flatly refused to go on an undercover mission. Then the Third Kazekage said he'd lock him up in prison, and then he'd pleaded for mercy...
Could it be... that he'd said it out loud?
Kamishiro's expression gradually became panicked and flustered.
Minato Namikaze coughed dryly and said, "Kamishiro, what did you just say? Your voice was too soft. I didn't hear it. Did you guys hear it, Kakashi?"
"We didn't hear a thing."
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara all turned their heads aside, avoiding looking at Kamishiro because they were really struggling not to burst out laughing.
