"Kakashi, don't you Anbu hide your identities?"
Kakashi sighed at this. He used to hide his identity, but with his iconic silver hair and one Sharingan, who wouldn't recognize him? What was the point of hiding his identity then?
Afterward, Uchiha En and Kakashi went to the Hokage Office together.
Upon entering, Uchiha En saw a somewhat familiar Hidden Sand Ninja talking to Minato Namikaze.
"Baki, En is here. You can explain the situation to him yourself."
Hearing Minato Namikaze call the man's name, Uchiha En turned to look at the Hidden Sand Ninja again.
Uchiha En then confirmed that this Hidden Sand Ninja was likely Baki, the Elite Jonin from the Hidden Sand Village who would later kill Gekkō Hayate with Kabuto during the Konoha Crush Plan.
"Lord En, our Hidden Sand Village's Ichibi Jinchuriki, Bunpuku, is gravely ill and doesn't have long to live. So, the Kazekage-sama wishes for Konoha's assistance in sealing the Ichibi."
"Sealing the Ichibi? Hokage-sama, you want me to go?" Uchiha En asked Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze nodded and said, "En, didn't I give you the Sealing Jutsu scroll before? So much time has passed, you should have mastered it by now, right? This will be a good test!
If the test results are good, I'll ask Kushina to teach you some more Uzumaki Clan Sealing Jutsu."
"Are these Sealing Jutsu mission rewards?"
"Of course not, these are just personal rewards. Furthermore, the Hidden Sand Village has another piece of intelligence for us, which is also very valuable to the Village."
"Intelligence? What intelligence?" Uchiha En asked with interest.
"Baki, you tell En yourself!"
Baki nodded and said, "Lord En, a few days ago we received intelligence that Kumogakure and Kirigakure have recently sent people to the Land of Waves. Chiyo-sama felt something was amiss and sent people to track them. We then discovered that the Three-Tails had appeared in the Land of Waves."
"Three-Tails!" Uchiha En's eyes lit up. He already had the Ichibi's Chakra and wasn't interested in assisting with its sealing, but the Three-Tails was different; he didn't have the Three-Tails' Chakra.
"En, after assisting with the Ichibi's sealing this time, I also want you to make a detour to the Land of Waves to check it out. We don't need to interfere with their struggle for the Tailed Beast, just determine who ultimately gets the Tailed Beast."
After hearing Minato Namikaze, Uchiha En nodded and said, "Alright! I'll go then. Do you have any detailed information about the Ichibi?"
Baki immediately respectfully handed Uchiha En a scroll. Uchiha En opened the scroll, browsed through it, and then said, "I understand. Wait for me at the Village gate; we'll meet in an hour."
"Kakashi, you go with him too! Seeing the power of a Tailed Beast will also benefit your future," Minato Namikaze said.
Kakashi immediately nodded in agreement.
Uchiha En teleported outside the Village, formed hand seals, and summoned Lightning, asking Lightning to deliver a message to Asana, requesting her to wait for him in the Land of Waves.
Both Kumogakure and Kirigakure were interested in the Three-Tails, so the people they sent would certainly not be weak. It was possible they might even deploy other Jinchuriki.
If the Six-Tails Jinchuriki was also there, Uchiha En would need Asana's cooperation to conveniently acquire the Six-Tails' Chakra as well.
Even if the Six-Tails Jinchuriki didn't come, with Asana present, the two of them could directly confront Kumogakure and Kirigakure's people, even if it was the Fourth Raikage.
After arranging everything, Uchiha En teleported back to the Third Squad's office.
Then, as usual, he handed over the Third Squad's affairs to Uchiha Aya, and also reminded Yamanaka Teruzuki to assist Uchiha Aya, before turning and leaving.
Happy Lantern Festival, everyone.
