Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 95 Lin and I will always watch over his life from the Pure Land.

A small hotel near the border.

Itachi Uchiha never mentioned his assessment mission.

This future double agent, a member of the Uchiha clan and a high-ranking official in Konoha, merely relayed to Kakashi Hatake information about Obito Uchiha given to him by members of the intelligence department.

"Wasn't Obito caught?"

Kakashi Hatake lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

The purpose of this small team coming to the Land of Earth is to track down Obito Uchiha and, incidentally, thwart his other conspiracies in Iwagakure.

With his amazing space-time eye technique, Obito Uchiha was indeed able to easily escape the capture of Iwagakure. So where will he go next?

Have they left?

Or will they remain hidden within Iwagakure?

It's impossible to ask members of the intelligence department to investigate something like this.

The entire Hidden Stone Village was sealed off for a week, and tens of thousands of ninjas couldn't find Obito Uchiha's whereabouts. How could members of the Hidden Leaf Village's intelligence department possibly find out?

And most importantly…

Did Obito Uchiha control Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, to assassinate the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, in order to seize power in Iwagakure? Or was there some other conspiracy?

If we want to investigate Obito Uchiha's plans and learn more about the information he has revealed, we must find a way to contact Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure...

Only Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, had contact with Obito Uchiha, just like Yagura, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, so he must know something...

"What about Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Kakashi Hatake proposed a rather dangerous infiltration plan: "I need to find a way to infiltrate Iwagakure and meet the Five-Tails Jinchuriki..."

of course.

This is a problem.

Even if you manage to meet the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, you might not get any information about Obito Uchiha from him, and there's a high chance he'll capture you...

This operation was extremely risky, with a near-certain death rate.

The only chance of survival lies in whether they can persuade Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, to be willing to provide intelligence and assist in capturing and controlling Obito Uchiha.

However, for ninjas, this is actually the infiltration plan they learned in school. Every time they infiltrate to steal intelligence, they risk being captured by the enemy or even losing their lives.

The most painful thing is...

Before they managed to steal a piece of intelligence, the ninjas who sacrificed their lives in the process had no idea whether that intelligence would be of any use.

Ninjas always seem to pay a high price to complete missions that are not worth the effort. For example, someone had to give up their life for information about Obito Uchiha.

That's normal.

Obito Uchiha posed too great a threat, yet there was too little information about him.

Akihara Kagura felt that this infiltration plan was too inefficient because he possessed a large amount of information about Uchiha Obito, and could even influence Obito's thinking...

"I feel like this infiltration idea is flawed from the very first step..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Hatake Kakashi's white hair and shook her head, saying, "Captain Kakashi, are you sure... no one in Iwagakure knows you?"

"..."

Kakashi Hatake really couldn't guarantee it.

Putting aside everything else, he killed quite a few Iwa ninja during the war, not to mention the Iwa ninja he has killed in missions over the years…

If Kakashi Hatake were to announce his presence here, this small inn would immediately be overflowing with his enemies, and there would even be a queue outside…

"Let me do it."

Akihara Kagura volunteered for the task, casually saying, "No one in Iwagakure should know me, so I can infiltrate without hesitation..."

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

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

Moreover, this guy hasn't received any complete infiltration training. He might be discovered by the people of Iwagakure before he even meets the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!

The Wood Release technique possessed by Akihara Kagura will resemble that of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, becoming a powerful tool for Konoha to deter major powers in the future.

The main reason for bringing Akihara Kagura along to the Land of Earth this time was because Akihara Kagura had experience fighting Uchiha Obito, and secondly because this guy's fighting strength is formidable; he could even fight his way out if surrounded by a large number of enemies...

of course.

It's unrealistic to expect Akihara Kagura to fight her way out of Iwagakure...

"rest assured."

Kagura Akihara, seeing Kakashi Hatake's firm opposition, added, "I'm a ninja from Root, I'll devise a complete infiltration plan right away."

"Tell me your plan first..."

Kakashi Hatake still felt it was somewhat unreliable, and he wanted to hear Akihara Kagura's plan to see if it could provide him with some ideas.

Kagura Akihara extended her palm and confidently stated her plan: "I'll first infiltrate Iwagakure, then capture the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and then extract the location of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki from him..."

"Calm down!"

Kakashi Hatake sighed and rubbed his forehead. He shouldn't have had any expectations of Kagura Akihara's plan: "Don't assume that all village Kage are like the Mizukage. The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, is incredibly powerful..."

"For example?"

Akihara Kagura asked him to give an example.

"..."

Kakashi Hatake simply couldn't come up with any examples.

The name of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, is mostly known among the older generation of ninjas. After all, this Tsuchikage was almost seventy years old, and his old arms and legs were trying to stay still as much as possible...

Kakashi Hatake can only briefly explain based on past information: "The Third Tsuchikage, whose full name is Onoki of the Scales, possesses Dust Release, a technique combining the nature transformations of wind, earth, and fire chakra. It is a Kekkei Tota, a Kekkei Genkai that is even more powerful than a Kekkei Genkai..."

"That sounds even stronger than Wood Release..."

Akihara Kagura seemed somewhat wistful.

"It should be... inferior to Wood Release."

Kakashi Hatake didn't know much about this kind of thing either.

Although the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's Dust Release and the First Hokage Hashirama Senju's Wood Release never clashed, Onoki's strength was definitely inferior to Hashirama Senju's.

"Let me do it."

Itachi Uchiha volunteered and earnestly explained his plan: "I can first ask members of the intelligence department to secretly find out the location of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, then infiltrate Iwagakure and secretly meet with him..."

"A brilliant plan, but still too dangerous..."

Kakashi Hatake genuinely praised it, but he didn't quite agree with it.

The plan could give him some ideas; it would probably involve having members of the intelligence department secretly investigate the location of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki to avoid getting lost in Iwagakure.

Kagura Akihara's plan to capture the Tsuchikage and interrogate him for information was too outrageous, while Itachi Uchiha's infiltration plan, which was actually quite ordinary, seemed so outstanding.

"that…"

Karin cautiously interjected, "Since infiltrating is so dangerous, why not try to reduce their guard personnel?"

"..."

Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha fell silent.

Akihara Kagura laughed and ruffled Karin's hair: "If we release information about Obito Uchiha being outside, won't that attract a lot of people out?"

Itachi Uchiha nodded and continued earnestly, "Create a location that attracts the attention of Iwagakure. Even if it doesn't draw anyone out, just attracting more of the Iwagakure ninja stationed there will greatly reduce the risk of infiltration..."

"This is easy to handle."

Akihara Kagura immediately proposed a plan that would definitely be opposed by Hatake Kakashi: "I will disguise myself as Uchiha Obito, then slaughter everyone in a city, and deliberately let a few people escape to Iwagakure to report the news..."

"This plan is far too extreme..."

Kakashi Hatake objected with a helpless expression, "Killing an entire city is too bloody. If it gets discovered in the future, it will cause a lot of trouble for Konoha..."

Akihara Kagura immediately proposed her second plan: "Then I'll kill everyone in a small town, and it won't seem so bloody..."

"It still doesn't work!"

Kakashi Hatake explained earnestly, "This isn't about how many people you kill, it's about killing. We can't harm innocent civilians..."

"Then can I go and kill a few Iwagakure ninja?"

Akihara Kagura seemed to have given up entirely, but those words seemed to give him inspiration, instantly giving him a more perfect plan!

Kagura Akihara immediately proposed her third plan: "I'll first impersonate a ninja from Kumogakure and kill the ninjas at the border outposts of Iwagakure, which will incite a war between them..."

"us…"

Kakashi Hatake seemed about to interrupt him.

"Don't rush, let me finish."

A confident smile appeared on Akihara Kagura's face as she continued, "Once the war breaks out, I'll go around killing people on the battlefield, escalating the conflict between them, and drawing all the garrisoned ninjas from Iwagakure out..."

After speaking, Akihara Kagura looked at Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi, anticipating their feedback: "In this way, Iwagakure will be completely undefended, and we can safely infiltrate the village. Even Captain Kakashi can get in..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake broke out in a sweat.

This is a good plan, but Itachi Uchiha doesn't need to infiltrate Iwagakure anymore. Everyone can just pack up and return to Konoha to prepare for the Fourth Shinobi World War...

"A mere infiltration plan... is that too much to ask?"

Kakashi Hatake rubbed his temples. "We just wanted to infiltrate Iwagakure. This method is too extreme. You'll be hanged by the Five Great Nations for starting a war..."

"Then I'll impersonate Obito Uchiha..."

Akihara Kagura quickly adopted Hatake Kakashi's suggestion.

"This isn't about impersonating anyone..."

Kakashi Hatake felt that this kid couldn't grasp the important points.

Compared to Akihara Kagura's plan to instigate a ninja world war, those plans to wipe out a city or a town actually seem somewhat plausible...

wrong…

Those are unreliable too.

I'm starting to get my thinking skewed by this guy.

"This plan has taken too long, and more unexpected things could happen at any time."

Itachi Uchiha, recalling his assessment mission, suggested, "We could try kidnapping an important figure from the Land of Earth, or creating chaos in a place far from Iwagakure..."

"That's fine."

Kagura Akihara immediately added to Itachi Uchiha's plan: "I will impersonate Obito Uchiha and kidnap the daimyo of the Land of Earth. If we're lucky, we might even get a ransom."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake felt that his subordinates had a problem with their thinking. Why did they always want to go down the path of crime? Kidnapping a daimyo is a serious crime!

and also…

Can this guy please stop impersonating Obito all the time?!

Given Akihara Kagura's outrageous actions, if she were to bring Obito back to Konoha in the future, other major powers might force Konoha to cut off Obito's head...

"Don't do anything unnecessary..."

"I've already decided that I'll infiltrate Iwagakure myself."

Kakashi Hatake decided to take the blame again. With his hands on his lap, he earnestly expressed his true feelings: "I've long thought about what price I'm willing to pay to bring Obito back, even if it means giving my life. Obito saved my life, and now I want to save his life..."

"Don't stop me."

Kakashi Hatake interrupted their attempt to persuade him, continuing, "Bringing Obito back and starting over is my responsibility alone, it has nothing to do with the two of you. You are the future of Konoha, and you absolutely cannot sacrifice yourselves in a place like this."

"Now I'm relaying the final order from the squad leader of Anbu Team Six: If I'm killed by the people of Iwagakure while I'm infiltrating to scout, you two take Karin and immediately return to Konoha to report what happened to the Hokage."

After Kakashi Hatake finished speaking, he looked at Kagura Akihara, as if he wanted to leave his last words: "Kagura, the person I worry about the most is you."

"You are a kind person with your own love and bonds, but you have been corrupted by the darkness at the root for too long and like to solve problems in extreme ways."

"This is wrong. Extremism will constantly breed darkness, and darkness will spread hatred. In the future, when you encounter problems, don't always think that killing can solve everything. There are always some problems in the world that killing cannot solve."

"You are a true genius, more talented than anyone I have ever seen. If there is anyone in this world who can stop Obito from harming the ninja world in the future, then that person must be you."

"besides."

Kakashi Hatake spoke his final wish, his eyes as calm as still water: "When you meet Obito again, please tell him one thing for me..."

"Lin and I will always watch over his life from the Pure Land."

First update!

The people of Konoha are a bit crazy in their pursuit of bonds...
