Chapter 22 - 22: Kubikiribocho
After the Uchiha Obito disappeared, Hatake Kakashi searched for a long time. With no results, he could only lean on a tree and gradually recovered his calmness.
Hatake Kakashi frowned, he first confirmed that Obito's identity is true because, before his death, Obito said that the Sharingan was a gift to congratulate him on becoming Jonin.
What happened at that time is only known to him, Nohara Rin, and Uchiha Obito. Rin is already dead, so they are the only two left who knows.
As for other things Uchiha Obito said, such as killing Minato-sensei and Kushina-sama, Kakashi's first thought is not to believe it. After all, Minato-sensei and Uzumaki Kushina treated Uchiha Obito kindly.
However, there are indeed many doubts about Kyuubi's rampage that year.
Kakashi gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the tree next to him: "As long as I find Obito, I will be able to find out the truth of what happened that year... If Obito wants to avenge Rin and did not kill me, then he must have gone to water country, or he's been lurking in water country!"
Based on the words Uchiha Obito intentionally left behind, Kakashi quickly interpreted the information he wanted.
Kakashi clenched his fist, his IQ is always been much higher than Obito, and quickly thought that he found Obito's whereabouts.
The Uchiha Obito just now is a little bit sorrowful and indignant. He kept poking their scars without realizing that he had leaked his information.
"Obito, he still the same as usual..."
Kakashi puts on his mask again. He already determined the location of Obito. As long as he heads to the country of water, he will be able to find Obito. At that time, he will be able to know all the dusty truths.
"Senior... shall we go back to the village?"
Yugao Uzuki walked up with a tangled look, she accidentally knows some incredible secrets today, and the purple-haired female ninja is still in a trance.
"Hmm...wait!"
After Kakashi nodded, he looked at Yugao Uzuki and suddenly said, "What happened today, please keep it secret. This may cause turbulence in Konoha. Before I find the truth, it must not be known to others..."
Yugao Uzuki said solemnly: "Senior, among the other people you mentioned, do you also include Hokage-sama?"
"That's right, there are many hidden things with Obito."
Kakashi rubbed his forehead and whispered: "The turmoil of the Uchiha clan's destruction is not over yet. Keep it a secret for the time being. After I find the truth, I will report to him the whole story."
"…Yes."
Yugao Uzuki stared at Kakashi closely, and when she saw his face a little sad, she nodded and agreed to his request.
Fearing that he would encounter uncontrollable dangers when he follows Obito to Kirigakure. Kakashi led Yugao Uzuki hurried back to the Konoha Village to make a simple repair, and then go to Sandaime to request a vacation.
Uehara Naraku didn't know he did a good deed, which directly contributed to Kakashi's withdrawal from Anbu in advance.
At this moment, Uehara rushed to the country of waves.
This little neighbor of the country of fire is really too poor, and he never heard of Gato's name. The rich man Gato did not yet focus on this small country.
Uehara Naraku suddenly lost interest in this country. He walked all the way to the dock of the country of waves then looked at the rows of fishing boats, and asked aloud: "How much will I pay to go to the Country of Water?"
"..."
The boatmen looked left and right, and each shook their heads. One of the leading boatmen replied: "Guest, the water country is a closed country, which Ninja-sama does not allow us to approach."
Uehara Naraku looked at them curiously, and whispered: "Well, how much will I pay before you are willing to take me to the Water Country?"
"No matter how much you give, we will not go!"
"Money can still be earned, but life is only once!"
"How can I lose my life for a sum of money!"
A group of boatmen are more disciplined than Uehara imagined. They were born in a poor country, with low consumption levels and low pressure in life. They will not use their lives for money.
Amidst the noise, a voice suddenly came out: "Boy, how much are you willing to pay, if the price is right, I don't mind taking you for a ride."
"..."
A group of boatmen suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes moved slowly, and saw a small boat on the edge, on which sat a stranger with a bandage on his face. This person is not from their wave country.
But the man who talked looked a bit fierce and hard to provoke, the boatmen from the wave country did not dare to persuade him.
After Uehara Naraku saw the talking man, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and a stack of explosive tags appear on his fingertips: "A hundred exploding tags, is this price enough?"
"..."
The man's eyes widen; it seems that after seeing the exploding tags he was stunned for a while before nodding slowly: "Yes."
In Ninja world, exploding tags vary in price.
In some places, because of war and production problems, the price of exploding tags is as high as tens of thousands Ryo; in some places, because of prosperity, the price of exploding tags can be as low as two thousand Ryo.
Uehara Naraku's shots are not unreasonable. One hundred exploding tags can easily be sold for one million Ryo in places like Water Country.
Of course, only ninjas are willing to accept exploding tags.
Uehara Naraku jumped onto the boat and looked at the bandage man in front of him with a smile on his face. It seemed that he had good luck this time. First, he met Hatake Kakashi and then meet Kakashi's old enemies Momochi Zabuza.
Now Zabuza is still wearing the uniform of Kirigakure and has not yet chosen to defect. Because he does not have that beautiful tool man by his side.
But it cannot be confirmed yet.
When Uehara Naraku lowered his head, he saw a broad ninja sword on the boat, and couldn't help but look at the Kubikiribocho.
Biwa Juzo in the Akatsuki organization died in Kirigakure not long ago, and the Kubikiribocho was also taken by the fourth Mizukage, and then it fell to Momochi Zabuza?
Zabuza noticed his eyes, as if not caring about his peeping, he just started the ship's motor and left the dock of Wave Country.
The boat soon arrived on the empty sea.
Momochi Zabuza looked at Uehara Naraku asked aloud: "Boy, do you know this knife?"
Uehara Naraku nodded, and said softly: "One of the seven ninja swords in Kirigakure, the Kobikiribocho, no matter how broken it is in battle, it can be restored by absorbing the iron in humans blood."
"..."
For Zabuza's case, the more he hears it, the more startled he is, and his eyes gradually become colder: "Little devil, it seems that you know a lot!"
"I just know a little bit more than ordinary people."
Uehara Naraku humbly waved his hand, looked at the Kubikiribocho, and continued with a smile: "Well, let me think about how should call you? One of the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the mist, Demon of the Hidden Mist Momochi Zabuza?"
HMM!
Zabuza suddenly grabbed Kubikiribocho in his hand and point it across Uehara's neck: "Since you recognize my identity, you still dare to go to Water Country with me, kid, what is your purpose?"
