Naruto Kakashi

In the blink of an eye, the next day came.

In the darkness, Kakashi woke up from his slumber. The kerosene lamp in the cave was on for half the night and then went out, leaving the stronghold in darkness.

After Ye Cang left last night, Kakashi was a little worried about whether Ye Cang's stronghold would be exposed if he went out.

However, Ye Cang's actions were obviously very careful, and no such situation occurred. Therefore, after being vigilant for a while and finding no movement, Kakashi was relieved.

Then Kakashi studied the map left by Ye Cang, and after the oil lamp went out, he entered a state of sleep and waited for the arrival of daytime.

Although it was dark inside the stronghold, Kakashi woke up on time in the morning driven by his biological clock.

I wonder how Ye Cang acted last night.After waking up, Kakashi immediately thought of Hagura.

But this idea turned around in Kakashi's mind and was thrown out of his mind.

He is not out of danger yet, and this is not the time to worry about others.

It's almost time to go out.Feeling that time was almost up, Kakashi recalled the map that Ye Cang had given him.

Sunagakure's secret stronghold hidden in the stone wall is very large, with passages extending in all directions and many entrances and exits.

It's hard to imagine how Sunagakure completed such a project under Kirigakure's nose.

Kakashi crawled in the passage for several minutes along the route he had set last night, and finally came to an abandoned drainage channel.

According to the mark on the map, above this drainage pipe is an old alley in the southwest corner of Kirigakure Village.

That's right, Kakashi did not use the passage to escape, but instead chose to sneak into Kirigakure Village.

Standing in the drainage channel, Kakashi did not go up immediately, but took out a set of clothes.

This is a set of clothing worn by ordinary Kirigakure residents. Kakashi found it from the stronghold. It was obviously specially prepared by Sunagakure for intelligence work.

After changing his clothes, Kakashi climbed up the ladder and carefully pushed open the manhole cover.

As shown on the map, this is a narrow old alley between two houses. It is dark and damp and exudes a rotten smell.

Finding that no one was there, Kakashi immediately came out of the sewer, put the manhole cover back in place, and then walked out of the old alley and entered the street.

Since this is an old neighborhood, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and Kakashi's appearance did not attract anyone's attention.

After staying in the small stronghold for a night, Kakashi also felt a little bored. Now walking on the spacious streets made him relax both physically and mentally.

But before Kakashi could finish stretching, he suddenly saw a Kirigakure ANBU wearing a mask, walking straight towards him from a short distance away.

Has it been exposed?Kakashi was wary, but not panicked.

Before every dive, Kakashi would be prepared to be exposed.

And this time the preparation he made was based on his strength. Kakashi was confident that even if he was discovered, he could break out with hard power.

Just when Kakashi was hesitant to deal with the approaching Kirigakure ANBU and then left immediately, a familiar voice came from under the mask of the ANBU ninja: "Finally found you."

"Kabuto Yakushi?" Hearing this voice made Kakashi raise his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"You should call me Mizuno." Kabuto walked up to Kakashi, reached out and took off his mask, revealing his handsome face wearing glasses.

"You seem to know I'm here?" Kakashi asked Kabuto with some confusion. It could be heard from his words that Kabuto seemed to be very familiar with this stronghold of Sunagakure.

"I don't just stay in Kirigakure Village." Kabuto did not answer Kakashi's question directly. After replying mysteriously, he straightened his tone and said, "Kakashi-dono, please come with me. Someone wants to meet you."

Seeing Kabuto's serious expression, Kakashi immediately thought of a person, Orochimaru, even though he didn't name him explicitly.

It seems that Orochimaru did not arrive as late as he thought, but came to Kirigakure Village in advance.

Kakashi immediately cheered up and nodded to Kabuto.

Then Kabuto led Kakashi through half the village.

Although they had walked a long distance, the route was obviously carefully planned by Kabuto, and they didn't even meet any Kirigakure ninjas along the way.

In the end, Kabuto and Kakashi successfully arrived at an ordinary house in the east of the village.

"Ah Shui is on a mission again." A grandmother who lived next door saw the two of them and greeted Kabuto cordially.

"Yeah." Kabuto responded with the same smile.

"Well, things have been weird in the village recently. I always feel like something is about to happen, especially last night when I heard several explosions. Ah Shui, you should be more careful when performing your mission." Grandma obviously likes Kabuto.

"It's okay, grandma. It's okay. Even if something happens, the village will handle it." Kabuto comforted patiently, "Grandma, let's go back to the house first."

"Yeah, I won't disturb your mission, just go in quickly."

After saying goodbye to grandma, the two opened the door and entered the house.

Entering the house, the bright smile on Kabuto's face immediately disappeared, and even his temperament changed accordingly, which made Kakashi, who had been observing Kabuto, couldn't help but secretly admire him.

"Please follow me." Kabuto, with a solemn expression, nodded to Kakashi, and then led Kakashi to a room deep in the house.

Slowly opening the door, a familiar figure appeared in Kakashi's field of vision.

"We meet again, Kakashi." Orochimaru turned around slowly, with an uncomfortable smile on his pale face.

……

Kirigakure Village, Mizukage Building, Mizukage Office.

The weather today is a bit bad, the clouds are heavy and it looks like rain, which makes the room a bit gloomy.

However, compared to the weather, the atmosphere in Mizukage's office was more depressing.

In the office, apart from Gui Deng Man Yue who was still lying in the hospital, the three people from Loquat Juuzang who participated in the ambush of Ye Cang last night were all standing in the room with reserved expressions.

The condition of the three of them was not good, their faces were tired, and there were still traces of yesterday's battle on their bodies. Especially the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost, who had long hair and turned into a buzz cut, looked very miserable.

Last night, after Ye Cang and the two disappeared under the sea, the three of them did not choose to report it immediately. Instead, they tried their best to search, intending to save the failed mission.

So when they heard the news that Ye Cang suddenly appeared in Yuwu Town and made a big fuss with the Sunagakure Mission, the three of them rushed to the scene immediately.

But when they arrived at Yuwu Town, the three of them only saw Ye Cang's leaving figure.

The three of them continued to chase without giving up, but after chasing for a whole night, Ye Cang finally ran away.

Only then did the three of them, Loquat Juzo, have to admit that the mission failed, and then immediately rushed back to the village to inform Mizukage of the matter.

And it was already the next morning.

The report has been completed for a long time, but there has been no reply from Lord Mizukage.

The three of them looked at Mizukage behind the desk cautiously, as if they wanted to find some comfort from Mizukage's face.

However, due to the weather, the lighting was very poor, and Mizukage's entire body was shrouded in shadow, and only a blurry figure could be seen.

"Forget it, let Ye Cang leave. Anyway, Ye Cang won't return to Sunagakure after this incident."

"Ye Cang is still alive, and the one who has the biggest headache should be Kazekage Luosha."

After a long silence, the Yondaime Mizukage's voice came out in the darkness. There was no blame in the words, but the tone was so calm that no one could hear the emotion or anger.

Hearing such a voice, Loquat Juzo felt very uneasy, but he still had to bite the bullet and continued to report: "Lord Mizukage, after the Sunagakure mission in Ye Cang made a big fuss and took away two people, the remaining Sunagakure ninjas He immediately left by boat.”

Gotachibana Yagura didn't seem to be interested in this information.

After all, he and Kazekage Rasa had already negotiated the reconciliation between the two villages, and the mission was just a cover to trick Ye Cang into coming to Kirigakure.

Now that its role has been achieved, there is no use staying here anymore. Now that the plan has changed, it is natural to leave as soon as possible and spread the news of Ye Cang's survival back to Sunagakure Village.

"Well, I understand. You go back and have a good rest. We will need you again in two days." Yagura waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

"Yes." The three people responded immediately, then quickly turned around and left the office.

And not long after they left, a scarlet eye slowly appeared in the shadow behind Mizukage.
