Chapter 322
Kitazawa said with a smile: "Besides, my strength is really not bad; if Itachi don't believe me, Itachi have to believe Lady Tsunade."
Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but fall into hesitation.
"The Ninja World War has long passed, the Hidden Stone Village won't be that vigilant."
Kitazawa gave his own method: "We can completely find a merchant caravan and mix in."
All five major villages have sensory barriers.
Forcing entry would easily lead to discovery.
But at the main gate, there are none.
"Alright then."
Kakashi Hatake finally agreed.
Just as Kitazawa said, he trusts Tsunade.
The two discussed the method and immediately took action.
The five major villages are called villages, but in reality, they are not small towns.
Plus, ninja have strong spending power, so many merchants come and go to the five major villages to do business.
Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake quickly found a fairly large merchant caravan, knocked out two people, and used the Transformation Jutsu to mix in.
After the caravan arrived at the gate of the Hidden Stone Village, it was stopped.
But it was only a registration, there was no detailed inspection.
Sure enough, it's not that strict during non-war periods.
Kitazawa suddenly thought of a ninja in the original story named Hanare, also translated as Ali.
She was a spy from the Lock Village, and she easily mixed into the Hidden Leaf Village using the identity of a wandering singer.
The reason Kitazawa has a deep impression of her is because she has a bit of a relationship with Kakashi Hatake.
Kakashi Hatake saved her, and she admired Kakashi Hatake.
But because their positions were different, naturally there was no result.
Besides that, Hanare also has the ability to perform hand seals with her eyes.
After the two entered the Hidden Stone Village, they found an opportunity to leave the caravan.
"Speed is essential."
Kakashi Hatake said with a serious expression: "After a while, the caravan will definitely discover that two people are missing."
"Follow me."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
Kabuto Yakushi entered the Hidden Stone Village as a spy.
In order to better steal intelligence, under the arrangement of the Root, he became a ninja of the Hidden Stone Village.
The scroll given by Tsunade marked the location where Kabuto Yakushi currently lives.
It also included a simple map.
It can only be said that the Anbu's work is indeed comprehensive, saving them a lot of time.
"That's the two-story wooden house."
Kitazawa stopped and said.
"Wait."
After Kakashi Hatake finished speaking, he performed hand seals, and his perception spread: "There are no Hidden Stone Village jonin around."
"Let's go knock on the door directly."
Kitazawa walked forward upon hearing this.
Soon, the door was opened, and a young man appeared in front of them.
Although it was Kitazawa's first time seeing Kabuto Yakushi, he still recognized him.
After all, like Kakashi Hatake, he also has white hair.
Kabuto Yakushi did not disguise himself while acting as a spy in the Hidden Stone Village; he used his original appearance.
The reason is simple.
Disguises, such as the Transformation Jutsu, all have the possibility of being seen through.
Furthermore, Kabuto Yakushi had been trained as a spy since he was a child, and even in the Hidden Leaf Village, few ninja had seen his true face.
"Who are Itachi?"
Kabuto Yakushi asked with vigilance in his heart.
"We are ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village, ordered by Lady Tsunade and Senior Nonou to bring Itachi back to the Hidden Leaf Village."
Kitazawa said quickly.
"What did Itachi say?"
Kabuto Yakushi was shocked by the huge amount of information in one sentence and stood frozen on the spot.
"We must hurry, because the Root ninja could strike at any time."
Kitazawa said in a deep voice.
"Why should I believe Itachi?"
Kabuto Yakushi organized his thoughts and asked.
He understands Nonou Yakushi and knows that she has always wanted to get rid of the Root and Danzo Shimura.
If there is Tsunade's help, it can indeed be achieved.
But Kabuto Yakushi is more cautious.
What if Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake were sent by Danzo Shimura to test his loyalty?
Such things are not unheard of in the Root.
"Your glasses and name were given to Itachi by Senior Nonou."
Kitazawa added: "If Itachi still don't believe me, Itachi can leave a Shadow Clone behind; within half an hour, someone will come to kill Itachi."
Kabuto Yakushi's expression changed slightly.
Although he often wears glasses, few people know that the glasses were a gift from Nonou Yakushi.
"I'll believe Itachi for now."
Kabuto Yakushi thought for a moment, performed hand seals, and created a Shadow Clone.
"Let's go."
Kakashi Hatake reminded: "Get out of the village first, so we don't get locked inside the Hidden Stone Village."
Although he has sealed his heart and buried his love, his experience as a ninja is very sufficient.
After all, he is a super genius who graduated at five, became a chunin at six, and a jonin at twelve.
Not long after the three left the village, Kabuto Yakushi suddenly trembled and stopped.
"Did something happen to the Shadow Clone?"
Kitazawa guessed and asked.
"Yes."
Kabuto Yakushi nodded and said: "But it wasn't the Root that did it, but Hidden Stone Village ninja."
"It's borrowing a knife to kill."
Kitazawa understood immediately: "Danzo Shimura sold your intelligence to the Hidden Stone Village."
"How many people?"
Kakashi Hatake asked in a deep voice.
"Three jonin, three chunin."
Kabuto Yakushi frowned slightly and said.
"It seems we have quite a bit of trouble."
Kakashi Hatake looked left and right, not thinking that Kitazawa and Kabuto Yakushi could fight two-on-one.
"We have the upper hand; if we are lucky, they won't be able to catch up to us."
Kitazawa was actually relieved to hear there were three jonin and three chunin.
Although it's a bit difficult, it's still within an acceptable range.
"It's not that easy."
Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said: "Every ninja village has quite a few ninja who are extremely good at tracking."
After he finished speaking, he bit his thumb and slammed it onto the ground.
Amidst the smoke, a ninja dog appeared.
"Pakkun."
Kakashi Hatake ordered: "Lead the way, and if there are enemies nearby, tell us."
"Okay."
Pakkun saw the urgency and didn't ask any more questions, turned around, and ran.
Kitazawa looked at it curiously for a moment.
Pakkun has quite a lot of screen time in the original story.
It is one of Kakashi Hatake's summoning animals, with a keen sense of smell, strong sensory ability, and is good at tracking.
In the original story, it can be said to have achieved many results.
It has tracked Gaara, Zabuza Momochi, Sasori, Sasuke Uchiha, and many other ninja.
It also said a famous quote to Sakura Haruno: "Itachi use the same shampoo as me, but my fur is still softer."
The three followed Pakkun toward the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.
Along the way, thanks to Pakkun's keen sense of smell, no battles occurred.
But just when the three thought they could successfully reach the Land of Fire, a change occurred.
The ground cracked, and the soil turned into dense spears, stabbing toward the three of them.
"It's an Earth Style ninja."
Pakkun said hurriedly: "He is underground, I didn't smell his scent."
Earth Style: Earth Wall!
Kakashi Hatake performed hand seals.
The ground in front of him bulged, and a thick wall rose up.
There were also three dog heads on the wall.
The dense spears hit the earth wall and immediately sank into it.
But the earth wall also showed cracks from this attack.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!
Kitazawa leaped up, stepped on the wall, and spat a huge fireball at the Earth Style ninja.
The temperature climbed, and the distorted heat waves in the flames looked terrifying.
With a boom!
The fireball hit the ground, leaving a patch of charred black.
The Earth Style ninja dodged the fireball's range at the last moment.
Just then, the sound of breaking air rang out.
