vrcanaries Chapter 197 Shameful
Chapter 197 Shameful
While the dying Madara was training Obito, the Anbu of the Mist Ninja were lurking around Konoha under the control of Black Zetsu.
Due to the war, Konoha's current security work can be said to be a piece of shit.
The Konoha Guard is an organization whose existence is more important than its function. They can hardly catch any spies by guarding the gate, and Konoha's anti-infiltration is almost entirely done by the Anbu.
During the war, a large number of Uchiha were deployed to the front line of River Country, and a small number were dispersed to the Land of Fire to capture the enemy ninjas who had infiltrated. The guard team was almost empty.
So after the Mist Ninja lurked around Konoha, they were in the dark. The Konoha ninjas outside who were trying to capture them could not find them, and Konoha's vigilance could not prevent them.
"Captain, why do we want to arrest a girl named Lin?"
"It is said that the girl and the three-tailed beast have a strong compatibility."
"But we in the Mist Village also have ninjas who can match the Three-Tails?"
"Asshole, why are you asking so many questions! If you are compatible with the Three-Tails, would you be willing to become a Jinchūriki?"
"Understood......"
When the Jinchūriki's skills are not stable enough, the Jinchūriki is a human nuclear bomb, a moving natural disaster. No one knows whether he will suddenly explode. Therefore, becoming a Jinchūriki means an unlimited gap. When others look at you, it is no different from looking at a monster.
Many ninjas have discarded unnecessary emotions, but that doesn't mean they have no emotions. On the contrary, because they have discarded so many things, the remaining emotions are more abundant.
If this most important emotion is taken away because of becoming a Jinchūriki, probably no one would be willing to do that.
Two months later, the tense situation on the front finally forced Konoha to send another group of ninjas out of the village. Minato was also fighting fires on the front lines. Apart from the regular Anbu and the major families who stayed behind, there was almost no security force left in Konoha.
The Mist Ninja Anbu followed the intelligence clues they had learned in advance and found Lin, who was secretly heartbroken but working hard to practice medical ninjutsu, and knocked her down with a neck knife.
"We got it, retreat!"
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. The Mist Ninja brought Lin back to the Mist Village quietly.
It wasn't until Kakashi remembered to look for Lin one day that he realized something bad had happened.
What happened to a little girl like me? She just disappeared like that? I promised Obito I'd protect Rin, but he didn't even know she'd been missing for days!
"Sichuan-Tibet!"
"Well~ What's wrong Kakashi? You're so anxious. Could it be that your wife has been taken away by someone? You don't have a wife, do you?"
Kakashi didn't bother to argue and get angry with Kawazo.
"Rin is missing! Help me! I promised Obito to protect Rin!"
"None of my business...Okay, okay~"
Seeing Kakashi's unfriendly eyes, Kawazo swallowed his words.
"For your sake, let's go to Lin's house and see if there are any clues. First, we need to know how long Lin has been missing, why she disappeared, where she disappeared to, and whether she is dead or alive, right? Don't be impatient."
While comforting Kakashi, Kawazo came to Lin's residence under Kakashi's guidance.
The room where Lin lived was small, but it looked very cozy. It was filled with medical manuals, blade training tools, and some medicines that were being prepared.
There was a photo frame on the small table, with a photo of Minato's team in the middle. Kakashi and Obito looked at each other with disdain, while Rin happily pulled the two people on her left and right, while Minato stood behind the three of them with a smile, his arms around Kakashi and Obito's shoulders.
Not far behind the four people, there was a Sichuan-Zang who was lying on a tree trunk bored.
The photo was a little wrinkled, as if it had been soaked in water, but it had been dry for a long time.
This was taken by Jiraiya. His photography skills can be said to be extremely poor, at least that's what Chuan Zang thinks.
You should have told me in advance that the photo was going to be taken. His posture was really not very elegant, but he still managed to fit into the photo. The layout of the whole photo looked very awkward, and the center point was no longer on Rin, but on Kakashi from the side.
While appraising photos in Sichuan, Kakashi was already exhausted from searching for clues.
"Chuan Zang! What are you doing? Help me find clues! What's so good about that photo? The people are missing!"
Kakashi was a little angry and grabbed the collar of Kawazo's vest.
But Kawazo didn't agree with Kakashi, but curled his lips at the photo.
"Here, that's the photo. I've found the clue."
"What!?"
Kakashi was stunned and immediately looked at the photo.
Apart from the five people, there is nothing special about it. No matter how you turn it over, it is just an ordinary photo frame.
"Where are the clues?"
"Look, Kakashi, are there wrinkles in that photo?"
"Um......"
"So, it can be confirmed that it is the Mist Ninja."
"..."
Kakashi nearly choked himself to death. What kind of bizarre conclusion was this? Could this be called a clue? This was also considered intelligence!?
Couldn't the wrinkles on the photo be the marks left by Lin crying? And it's not only the Mist Ninja who can use water jutsu, even Kakashi himself can do some simple water jutsu!
"Trust me Kakashi, I have a special way to judge~"
Kakashi was speechless, but thinking of Mr. Gu Zang, Kakashi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, then what are you going to do next? Judging from the traces in the house, Lin has been missing for at least a week. During this time... I'm afraid she's already pregnant."
Kakashi looked at Kawazo with his eyes wide open. Is this a time for jokes?
"You know what I mean Kakashi, Rin isn't some special ninja, is she? If she wasn't special, why would the enemy go to all the trouble to come to Konoha to capture Rin?"
"So there are two possibilities. One is that they arrested the wrong person. Lin was either disposed of or tortured to the point of being disposed of. The cruelty is even more tragic than having a child."
"Another possibility is that the enemy is heading for Lin. Then the target is not Lin, but you, or Brother Minato, or... me."
Kakashi's head was covered in cold sweat. He had never thought so much about it. Now that he thought about it, what Chuan Zang said made perfect sense.
If I just rush out to find Lin, I will fall into the enemy's trap.
He thought about what would Minato do if he, Lin and Kawaki fell into the hands of the enemy, what would the Sandaime do, and what about Konoha?
He thought of the Third Raikage and the even earlier Second Hokage. Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, could Minato take them away?
If the Flying Thunder God Technique was truly invincible, Konoha would have won the Second and Third Wars long ago, and there might not be any wars in the future.
"So, Kakashi, instead of looking for it, why not wait?"
"wait?"
“That’s right, if Lin is not dead yet, then the enemy will definitely surface again and use Lin to exchange for their target.
After all, Lin is useless, but your role and value are very high."
"And you..."
Kakashi's mood also sank. Compared to himself, what Kawazo did in the Land of Rain was what truly shocked the ninja world.
Even with the reappearance of Wood Release, which is as powerful as the First Hokage's, Kawazo's popularity in Konoha is not even lower than Minato's.
