Chapter 107: Father, Save Me, Fish Me Out!
At the Wind-Fire Border.
Inside the vast forest at the rear.
At this moment, a Konoha squad was moving through the trees.
Perhaps they were tired.
The three of them landed from the trees together and leaned against a large tree to rest.
Watching their captain sit cross-legged on the ground eating dry rations, one couldn't help but ask.
"Captain! Do we need to rush so much? Did Hokage-sama say we must arrive today?"
Hearing the teammate's words, the captain, who was eating dry rations, swallowed the food in his mouth and then spoke.
"I just don't want to disappoint my father."
The questioning teammate: "..."
[Fine~, since you put it that way, what else can I say.]
After a round of flattery towards his captain, the man who asked also sat on the ground and began to rest.
About ten minutes later.
"How is everyone's rest? Let's set off!"
[Fine! You're the boss! Fortunately, there's only about half an hour's journey left.]
---
Half an hour later.
The three finally crossed the forest and saw the camp in the distance.
Only, when they saw it, all three were a bit stunned.
Because the camp ahead was brightly lit at this moment; everyone was standing outside the camp, and there even seemed to be people dancing in the middle.
Moreover, there were quite a lot of people.
Looking at the lively scene in the camp, the man who had asked earlier spoke again.
"Captain, is life in the camp this comfortable? They even invited a dance troupe to throw a party late at night!"
The other two: "..."
---
Inside the Wind-Fire Camp.
"Is the sound system tuned?"
"Reporting to Kazekage-sama, tuning complete!"
"Very good!"
"Is the barbecue ready?"
"Reporting to Kazekage-sama, it's almost all grilled!"
"Very good!"
At this moment, Saito was standing in the Konoha camp, arranging the matters for tonight's party.
They won a battle today, what's wrong with celebrating?
Anyway, they aren't drinking alcohol!
After confirming everything was ready.
Saito also walked onto the high platform built with Ninjutsu.
Holding a carbonated drink newly developed by Hidden Sand Village in his hand—sabi.
"Family! Tonight~ drink until you drop!"
[Just kidding, you can't get drunk at all!]
"Awoooo~" * N
As Saito's voice fell, the music also started to play.
Followed by the screams and shouts of the Hidden Sand Village crowd.
As for the original owners of this place.
Saito expressed that sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone.
So of course, they should participate together.
Not far away, two thousand Konoha Ninja wearing miniskirts were standing in a dejected group.
Looking completely out of place at the party.
"Commander, are we really going to go on stage and dance in a bit?"
"Otherwise? Do you want your 'little head' cut off?"
Hearing the commander's words, the Ninja who spoke seemed to think of something, shuddered violently, and then shook his head desperately.
Darkness! Too dark!
To make them wear miniskirts, the people of Hidden Sand Village... they held knives against everyone's 'little head' and said.
[Do you want to wear it just this once? Or wear it for the rest of your life?]
Listen to that!
Is that even a multiple-choice question?
In the end, everyone put on miniskirts.
Not for anything else.
But because they couldn't bear to see the pain of brothers being separated.
Seeing the man who asked shaking his head desperately, the leading commander also sighed helplessly.
His head shaking... he understood!
And wearing a skirt is just wearing a skirt.
It's better than losing one's life.
Heaven knows what he went through today!
First, the Ninja responsible for reconnaissance in front lost contact one by one, and then after realizing something was wrong, he quickly gathered the remaining Ninja.
Thinking of seeing what on earth it was.
As a result, he saw an entire Hidden Sand Village legion rushing over.
Just as he was about to order them to rely on the camp to resist the enemy.
Dense gold dust had already appeared beneath their feet, and then they were encased.
When he thought his life was over.
The Hidden Sand Village people rescued them again.
It's just that the rescue method was a bit... how should I put it, like smashing golden eggs.
In short... the defeat was miserable.
The Third Kazekage is truly too strong.
But fortunately, he doesn't want our lives, he just wants to exchange us for the Hidden Sand Village Ninja in Konoha.
"Next, please welcome the Konoha Song and Dance Troupe to bring us a dance!"
While the commander was still reminiscing about what happened during the day, the announcement to take the stage sounded on the broadcast.
"Brothers! Today we lost, and we have nothing to say.
And exchanging a dance for our lives! It's not a loss!"
After shouting to the Konoha Ninja behind him.
The commander also took the lead in stepping onto the center of the stage.
Hearing their general captain's words, the other Konoha Ninja also looked at each other.
Yeah, at least they are still alive and haven't suffered any abuse. At worst, they'll make Hidden Sand Village dance back in the future.
Thinking of this, the others also walked onto the center of the stage one after another.
And the Hidden Sand Village crowd thoroughly cheered after seeing the Konoha Ninja take the stage.
"Woo Awooo"
...---
Outside the camp.
The Konoha trio was also standing in the distance watching.
"Captain, they're having so much fun! Let's hurry over too!"
"..."
No, how brainless are you!
The other teammate standing on the side, after hearing this, could no longer hold back and spoke up.
He was afraid that if he didn't speak now, he really wouldn't be able to speak later.
"Captain! Something's wrong. How about... we retreat a bit first and observe?"
"Hmm, you have a point."
Hearing a reliable suggestion finally appear, a certain captain also agreed without hesitation.
He then turned around to face his two teammates.
"This situation is indeed special. Let's retreat first. Wait for me to send a message about the situation here to Hokage-sama and see what Hokage-sama says.
Then we'll make further plans."
"Hmm?"
"Why aren't you guys talking?"
"Why are you all looking at me with such wide eyes?"
After finishing his arrangements and not hearing a response for a long time, the captain first asked in confusion.
Then he saw the two of them staring at him with wide eyes.
Hmm... not right!
They weren't looking at him!
They were looking behind him.
Just as a certain captain was about to turn around and check.
A large hand pressed on his shoulder, making him unable to move.
"Hehe! Since you're already here! Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
...Half an hour later.
"Let us welcome our friends who have come from afar from Konoha to perform on stage!!!"
...[Wuwuwu... Father, I've disappointed you again!]
---
Konoha Village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was squatting outside the Intelligence Department smoking.
He was also holding a scroll, which had already been opened.
This was something he had just taken out from the Intelligence Department.
Just as he arrived at the Intelligence Department, intelligence from the Wind-Fire Camp happened to be transmitted.
The content was no different from during the day.
[Father, save me, fish me out!]
...Hatake Clan grounds.
Except for a few Chinoike Clan Ninja still on duty, everyone else had fallen asleep.
You really have to say.
Sleeping on water for the first time felt pretty good.
At this time, a small old man appeared outside the barrier.
"Miya Clan Head, let's talk!"
...---
The next day.
"Miya Clan Head, can we set off?"
Nara Shikaku, with dark circles under his eyes, said to Miya Jomon.
"Alright, alright!
It's been hard on you, Nara Clan Head, being busy from late at night until now."
[Hehe, as long as you know.]
Nara Shikaku, who was woken up by the Anbu in the early hours and had been busy drafting the Hatake Clan's Village withdrawal agreement and the Wind-Fire prisoner exchange agreement, cursed everyone in his heart.
Then he looked at Miya Jomon, who hadn't slept all night but was still energetic.
Hearing him say they could set off, he didn't bother with any more pleasantries.
He only wanted to set off early and catch up on some rest on the way.
Otherwise... as the person in charge of the prisoner exchange here.
If something went wrong in the final exchange, it would be a big problem... Under the hateful gazes of the villagers, the Chinoike Clan and the Hatake Clan walked out of the prosperous Konoha streets.
They arrived at the main gate of Konoha.
"Kakashi!" * 2.
Just as everyone was about to step out of the Konoha gate.
Two children's voices, one male and one female, came from behind the group.
Kakashi, walking next to Miya Kiko, naturally heard the voices.
But Kakashi didn't pay any attention.
After experiencing his father's death and the cold eyes of the villagers.
The little white-haired boy had grown a lot and become much colder.
Perhaps the opening of his eyes was also a factor.
"Go say goodbye to them."
"Hmm? Mother."
"Go say goodbye to them; after all, they are the only two who came to find you."
Hearing his Mother's words, Kakashi thought for a moment and finally turned back.
"Kakashi, are you really leaving?"
"Kakashi, you bastard, how can you just leave like this!"
After running up to Kakashi, Obito and Rin Nohara's voices rang out simultaneously.
"Yeah."
Hearing their questions, Kakashi's reaction was very flat.
And the impatient Obito, hearing Kakashi's flat answer, became angry.
"Bastard Kakashi, are you just going to leave like this? Have you forgotten the Will of Fire? And this great one hasn't defeated you yet!"
"Don't be stupid, Obito!"
Seeming to hear some provocative words, after Obito finished speaking, Kakashi's expression became agitated.
"What Will of Fire? It's all fake!"
"What! Bastard Kakashi, do you know what you're saying!
Where the leaves fly, the fire shall live on. The light of the fire will illuminate the Village..."
"Trees won't exist forever! And there aren't just leaves on the tree!"
Obito was still reciting the Will of Fire he had been learning since school to Kakashi, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Kakashi's words.
Listening to what Kakashi said.
"What did you say?"
"What if there aren't just leaves on the tree?"
Without waiting for Obito's reply, Kakashi spoke the next words.
"There are not only leaves on the tree, but also bugs!"
"Then eliminate them!"
"No! The tree cannot eliminate the bugs; it only makes the bugs fatter!"
"And the best way to eliminate the bugs is to burn the tree down with a fire!"
After saying that, he activated his Blood Dragon Eye and stared straight at Uchiha Obito.
"Kakashi, you... you..."
Just as Uchiha Obito was still in shock.
The world in front of Obito suddenly changed.
The originally clear sky was gone, replaced by a crimson expanse.
Above the sky, there was a pair of crimson eyes.
Different from the bright red of the Sharingan, the eyes in the sky at this moment were a dark red, like coagulated blood.
Deep and oppressive.
Then Uchiha Obito personally experienced everything Kakashi had endured these past few days.
As well as... his father's blood.
"No!!! Kill you! I'm going to kill you!!!"
With a heart-wrenching roar, Obito woke up from the Genjutsu.
At the same time, a flash of red light awakened in his eyes.
"Huff Huff"
Followed by heavy panting.
"Obito! Obito, are you okay?"
Rin Nohara's calls sounded beside Obito.
"I'm fine, Rin! Where's Kakashi?"
"He... he's already gone."
"...Gone? That's fine! Then did he say anything?"
"Yeah, he said he's waiting for your challenge, idiot!"
Obito: "..."
[Actually, Rin, you didn't have to say those last two words.]
---
Wind-Fire Station.
After two days of travel.
Nara Shikaku also arrived at the station.
"Haha, welcome, welcome! Welcome to our Konoha friends visiting the station. Don't be polite, just make yourselves at home."
Nara Shikaku: "..."
Looking at the enthusiastic Kazekage in front of him, Nara Shikaku didn't know how to complain.
What do you mean make ourselves at home? This was originally Konoha's!
Shameless!
"Hehe, Kazekage-sama is truly enthusiastic. Kazekage-sama must also know..."
"Eh~"
Before Nara Shikaku could finish, Saito interrupted him.
"The envoy has come from afar. Let's eat first and talk after eating."
"Uh... alright then."
After eating.
"Kazekage-sama, I wonder if I can see how the Konoha Ninja are doing now?"
"Of course, come, I'll take you to see them. It'll help with digestion."
Hearing what Saito said, Nara Shikaku finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally!
Finally liberated.
Just a bit more, just a little bit more, just now at the dinner table... this old man almost betrayed Konoha.
Saito simply gave too much!
Of course, that was only one part.
The other part was finally breathing a sigh of relief for the Konoha Ninja.
Since the Kazekage-sama agreed so easily to go see the Konoha Ninja.
At least it meant... they hadn't suffered any abuse!
"Mr. Shikaku! I'm telling you, our Hidden Sand Village is famous for treating prisoners well. On the very first night, we even invited the Konoha Ninja to join the party for moving into the station. I'm telling you, they danced so happily!"
Nara Shikaku: "???"
What?
"Kazekage-sama, you mean on the first day you moved in, not only were the Konoha Ninja not held under guard, but you also invited them to a party and they danced happily at the party?"
"That's right! What? Mr. Shikaku, you don't believe it?"
"I believe it! Of course I believe it! How could I not believe what Kazekage-sama says!"
[Believe? I don't believe it one bit! What! Are the people of Konoha really that cheap?!]
"Hehe! It seems Mr. Shikaku doesn't believe it. Then I'll take Mr. Shikaku to secretly see how the Konoha Ninja are living now."
Nara Shikaku: "???"
About ten minutes later.
Saito secretly brought Nara Shikaku to where the Konoha Ninja were.
Before they even got close, they heard voices coming from inside.
"Hahaha, let me tell you, that night Kitagawa's dancing was wild!"
"Bah! Weren't you the same? Your skirt was almost flapping in my face, why don't you talk about that!"
"I, I, I... that was blown by the wind!"
Everyone in the room laughed loudly at the speaker's clumsy explanation.
Nara Shikaku: "???"
[No! They really danced! And wore skirts?]
Before Nara Shikaku could digest the news he had heard, even more explosive news came out.
"But I think the most impressive one was still the Hokage-sama's son."
Nara Shikaku: "??!"
"Haha, exactly, exactly. Hokage-sama is indeed a master at handling a staff. Who would have thought Hokage-sama's son is also a top-notch expert! He just grabbed a pole and started dancing."
"Of course! Look whose son he is! Let me tell you, in the end, this dance was even named by the Kazekage.
It's called... Pole Dancing!"
Nara Shikaku: "!!!"
