Chapter 157 - 157 Shisui's Request
Chapter 157 – 157 Shisui’s Request
"Hey, Hatake Kakashi, are you really doing this?"
Terumi Mei's face become a bit ugly, there is even some resentment.
"This is my mission, and I don't have any other choice. Let's talk about what purpose Kirigakure has this time. You guys can't afford a war against another village right now, so what is your purpose to here."
"Hmph, how do I know, it is not once or twice for Yagura to give some strange order. This time it is somehow letting Ao to lead a small team to Konoha to carry out harassment operations."
Although dissatisfied, Terumi Mei still told Kakashi the truth.
Investigating Yagura's purpose is one of the reasons for Terumi Mei to come here.
She was thinking that if she talks to Kakashi, she may get an answer.
But it looks like the result is not what Terumi Mei imagined.
Hearing this, Kakashi frowned slightly and released murderous aura.
Yondaime Mizukage's orders that even Terumi Mei can't figure out the purpose of.
That order is obviously from Obito.
But why did Obito order such things?
Trying to harass Konoha?
No, it doesn't make sense.
The Strength of this Kirigakure's Shinobi team is far from enough to do anything to Konoha.
Obito should be very clear about this.
So what is his purpose for doing this?
At this time…
Kakashi eyes shines, 'Is Obito went to Konoha?'
So is this Kirigakure's Shinobi team is just a diversion so he can go to Konoha easily?
Seeing Kakashi's expression that seems to realize something, Terumi Mei then asks: "What are you thinking of?"
"Nothing, but there should be no big problem. Tell your people to leave the Land of Fire as soon as possible, otherwise, it is very likely for them to die here."
"What did you say!"
Ao is one of Terumi Mei's important subordinate. If he really die in Konoha, the loss will be too great.
"That's what I just said."
"Ao is not that weak."
"I admit that Ao's strength is not bad, but he will meet someone who has once defeated him."
Terumi Mei was taken aback: "Uchiha…Shisui?"
"Yes, Shisui has already intercepted their team. If they fight seriously, you must be clear what the result is going to be."
"Damn it!"
"I am not trying to make things difficult for you, just take your people out of the Land of Fire, The things in Kirigakure are already messy enough, so don't include Konoha."
Hearing this, Terumi Mei shows a happy expression, and said: "You care about me?"
"Uh…you have to understand. It's not like it is impossible."
Kakashi scratches his hair. 'Why do I feel that this sentence is ambiguous?'
"Hehe, what a lovely man. When we meet again next time, I believe that our relationship will be different." Terumi Mei finished speaking and left.
"Hah, she really is a strange woman. In that case, the matter of Kirigakure is solved now. But Obito, are you really coming to Konoha?"
Kakashi looked in the direction of Konoha and his heart feels a little heavy for a while.
If there is an opportunity, he wants to talk with Obito.
But with Kamui's power, if Obito didn't want to meet him, Kakashi won't be able to do anything at all.
"For him to come back to Konoha, is it because of Itachi? Or because of the Uchiha Clan?"
"Forget it, I should go and meet Shisui first."
After temporarily suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Kakashi decided to complete this mission first.
On the other side, Shisui has met the Shinobi at the mission location.
"Sir, we have found the trail of Kirigakure's team three kilometers ahead."
Shisui nodded and said: "Okay, prepare to ambush them. Let's make Kirigakure go back to where they come from!"
"Yes sir!"
After the others leave, Shisui frowned and starts to think.
'Strange, there are less than ten people at Kirigakure's team. What is their purpose?'
The team is less than ten people, and it is not the terrifying combination of Seven Shinobi Swordsmen of the Mist. For them to come to Konoha is simply suicide.
So Shishui couldn't figure out what is their purpose.
In fact, letting these Kirigakure's Shinobi to come here is not just Obito's whim.
Once this kind of thing happens, with the personality of Sandaime, it is inevitable for him to send someone he trusts to find out the reason.
Kakashi is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Obito wants to go to Konoha to do something, so he pushed Kakashi away.
If it was the original Kakashi, then Obito is naturally not worried about being discovered by Kakashi.
But now it's different, Kakashi's strength has made Obito somewhat wary.
So, to be on the safe side, Obito chose to do things when Kakashi was not in Konoha.
On the other side, Ao led several Kirigakure's Shinobi to move carefully.
Suddenly, several shurikens fly toward them!
What! Argh!
With two screams, two Kirigakure's Shinobi have been killed by the shuriken.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Ao quickly called.
Looking around, it is clear that the whereabouts of his team have been exposed.
"Byakugan! "
Chakra starts to move toward his right eye, and then his vision changes to become black and white.
"This is…"
In the distance, a figure with green Chakra filled Ao with fear.
"Retreat!"
"Captain Ao?"
"Retreat, the one in front of us is Shunshin no Shisui. We are not opponents at all. Moving on will only increase our casualties."
"But Mizukage-sama's Quest…"
"I will be the one to explain to Mizukage-sama about this. Do you want to make such a meaningless sacrifice?"
"No…."
"Let's go."
After Qing finished speaking, he left with the Kirigakure's Shinobi.
In the distance, Shisui was even more puzzled when he saw this. It feels too anticlimactic. 'Could it be that these Kirigakure's Shinobi are coming here to travel?'
He didn't understand at all, so Shishui gave up and stop thinking about it.
At this time, a figure rushed over from the rear.
"Shisui, how is the situation?"
"The Kirigakure's Shinobi has retreated and should not come back again in a short time."
"That's good, let's go back then."
"Okay."
On the other side, Terumi Mei also meets Ao's group.
"Mei-sama."
"Ao, what is the situation."
"I met Shunshin no Shisui, so we retreated."
"A very wise decision," Terumi Mei praises.
"Mei-sama, have you finished your business?"
"Almost, it seems that we are going to kill Yakura. Let's be prepared."
Terumi Mei said with a heavy heart.
Hearing this, Ao just stay silent. 'Is there no other choice except this?'
Hokage office.
"Oh? So, Kirigakure is only doing a small-scale intrusion this time?"
"Yes, it should be like that. Whether it is the number of Shinobi or their combat power, it is very weak. If they rely on these people to attack, it is really stupid."
Sandaime feels that this matter does not seem to be simple, but for now, he can conclude it like that.
"Sandaime-sama, there is something I need your help for."
Shisui suddenly said at this time.
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
"I hope that the conflict between the village and the Uchiha Clan can be resolved."
"Shisui, I am working hard on this issue as well, but there is no progress."
"I want to rebuild the trust between the Uchiha Clan and the village."
"How do you want to do it?"
"I hope I can do this in your name."
Sandaime pondered for a moment, and then said: "Yes, I agree to this matter, but you need to do it in secret. If there is any problem, you can come to me and I will let Kakashi help you."
Hearing this, Kakashi who is on the side then said: "Yes, Sandaime-sama."
"Thank you, Sandaime-sama."
Sandaime showed a smile and said: "Shisui, if all of the Uchiha Clan is like you, maybe there won't be a problem like this."
"Thank you for your praise, Sandaime-sama."
"No, I should be the one to thank you. You remind me of an old friend."
After confessing some matters, Kakashi and Shisui left the Hokage office.
"Shisui, what are you going to do?"
"I can only do it from the Uchiha Clan's side first."
"You want to convince Uchiha Fugaku?"
"Yes."
"You should know that even if you manage to convince Uchiha Fugaku, other clan members will not settle down."
"I know, but if the head of the clan can try his best to stop the coup, he will buy more time for me."
"Do you want to use Kotoamatsukami at Uchiha Fugaku?"
Shisui shook his head and said, "No, I will only do that if there is no other choice left."
Kakashi patted Shisui's shoulder and said, "Shisui, be careful, if there is any problem, remember to inform me."
"No problem."
Kakashi took out a three-pronged kunai from his ninja bag, and said, "Take this. I will get to your location as soon as possible if anything happens."
Shisui didn't reject Kakashi's goodwill and put the kunai in his own pocket.
"Thank you, Kakashi."
Kakashi is taken aback. This is the first time Shisui did not call him Senpai.
