Chapter 58: People are mourning, but Kagura and Obito are conspiring
Behind the Konoha Village.
As a hero of the Konoha, Uchiha Obito had his own grave.
Since Hatake Kakashi couldn't find the body initially, he erected a cenotaph for Uchiha Obito in the village, right beside the grave of another companion, Nohara Rin.
"I'll go and pay respects to Rin myself."
When Hatake Kakashi arrived at the graveyard, he stopped Akihara Kagura's steps, seemingly afraid that Akihara Kagura might dig up Uchiha Obito's cenotaph.
This kid is not bad, but he is too extreme in his actions. Digging up Uchiha Obito's grave is something Hatake Kakashi felt Akihara Kagura really might do.
"Alright then."
Akihara Kagura could only stop at the edge of the forest.
The moonlight in the sky was bright.
Hatake Kakashi stood in front of two tombstones.
One was Nohara Rin's, and the other was Uchiha Obito's.
"Rin, Obito has been alive all this time."
Hatake Kakashi lowered his head, gazing at Nohara Rin's tombstone, and spoke softly about tonight's events: "Perhaps he has also visited you. Before, it was he who saved me, and this time, it should be my turn to save him"
At the edge of the forest.
Akihara Kagura, feeling something, quietly retreated under a tree, hiding his figure in the darkness.
"Why are you here?"
A dark figure stood under the tree, glanced at Akihara Kagura who approached, then looked back at Hatake Kakashi who came to pay respects.
"Of course, to dig up your grave"
Akihara Kagura's face revealed a light smile, saying, "Worthy of being the boss I've just sided with, such courage. I thought you had escaped"
This dark figure was Uchiha Obito.
Nobody expected that after just revealing his identity and causing such chaos in the Konoha, he didn't flee but instead hid again in the Konoha Village.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
This time, Uchiha Obito had intended to speak in front of Rin's tombstone, as tonight he finally took off his mask.
However
Hatake Kakashi, that guy, has also arrived.
Akihara Kagura, this kid, followed too, and even had the audacity to meet with me almost right under Hatake Kakashi's nose!
"You kid"
Uchiha Obito's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure. He didn't like this kid much, but had to admit that the kid had guts.
This scene...
Inevitably it felt a bit eerie.
If Hatake Kakashi ever found out that Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Obito were conspiring together at this moment, it's hard to imagine what his expression would be...
"I should leave now."
Uchiha Obito's figure quietly entered a space-time vortex, coldly saying, "When I need you to do something, I will contact you. You'd better become a rogue ninja soon, and I will tell you the plans that interest you."
"Alright."
Akihara Kagura nonchalantly nodded.
This new boss wasn't much either, not only failing to discuss salary and treatment with him, but also lacking a work plan, and even expecting him to defect from Konoha.
This wasn't very good
Konoha is indeed a wonderful place!
I must find a way to let Uchiha Obito know the immense help a spy in Konoha could offer him, even if it means creating some trouble for Uchiha Obito!
After a while.
Hatake Kakashi came over, seemingly having adjusted his mindset after talking in front of his companion's tombstone.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It wasn't long."
Akihara Kagura's attitude became friendlier, and he even proactively offered some information: "While I was thinking here, I suddenly remembered something. Aburame Tatsuma was killed by Uchiha Obito, his last mission was in the Mist Village..."
"Is there a possibility that..."
"Uchiha Obito is hiding in the Mist Village?"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi's expression suddenly changed.
This news instantly reminded Hatake Kakashi of something.
If Uchiha Obito has been seeking revenge on Konoha for Nohara Rin's death, then he must also be targeting the Mist Village!
The Mist Village was the source of Rin's sacrifice!
Back then, the Mist Village implanted the Three-Tails into Nohara Rin, turning her into an uncontrollable and highly dangerous Jinchriki. This forced Rin to ask Kakashi to kill her, to prevent the Three-Tails from causing chaos in Konoha.
"Thank you."
Hatake Kakashi sincerely thanked Akihara Kagura, then continued, "If there are no records about Obito in Konoha's archives, then we'll infiltrate the Mist Village!"
"You're welcome."
Akihara Kagura smiled, leisurely adding, "Anyway, I'm your subordinate. It's only right that I help you. Consider it a thank you for the ramen you treated me to tonight."
