"You can't be the legendary copy ninja Kakashi Hachiki, right?"

"It's just a name, please take a seat."

Kakashi gestured to his seat.

The other sat down.

Tianten, Kasa, and Chiba stood behind Kakashi, quietly looking at the middle-aged man dressed as a samurai.

Judging from the muscle condition, this guy's physical skills are not weak.

As for the knife technique, it is a matter of opinion, Chiba is not easy to judge, but the other party's behavior is full of weirdness.

He couldn't help frowning slightly.

"In Shimokiyota Shin, your name is extremely loud even in the Land of Iron, since it was you who made the move, I think that Yuichi's rebellion will be caught soon."

Kiyota Shin bowed slightly.

Kakashi waved his hand and said, "I'm carrying three oil bottles now, even if I shoot, I may not be sure of nine out of ten, first of all, what is the strength of the other party?" ”

"Yes, I'll tell you everything I know."

Kiyota Shin said, taking out a stack of papers.

Chiba glanced at it.

It's full of enemy conditions.

The defected samurai is called Yuichi, a civilian in the Land of Iron, whose strength is probably at the level of ninja among the elites, but he is very good at hiding and escaping, and is also good at slashing in Ii.

In addition, it is marked that this person stole the sword of the Kiyota clan.

Chiba's eyes sank slightly.

Kakashi didn't change his face, nodded lightly and said, "I see, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, why don't you ask your own country for help, but ask for a commission?" ”

"This ...... It's not that I can't say that the knife was created and given to the adults above, and I can't say specifically, in short, I can recover it myself or hope to recover it quietly. ”

"What's more, he fled to the Land of Fire, and we were supposed to negotiate with you first, so it's better to skip some time."

Nobu Kiyota explained.

Kakashi put the paper away and sent it back, nodded and said, "Let's leave early, the information you've gathered may be invalid after a long time." ”

"Great, with your shot, that guy from Yuichi will definitely not be able to escape!"

Kiyota Shin looked relieved.

Kakashi got up, Kiyota Shin followed, and the three Chiba protected him in the middle.

Getting out of the village was very smooth.

After registration, it is basically released.

Kiyota Shin himself is also a samurai, so his speed is not slow, and halfway through the run, Chiba is already "out of breath", panting while running.

Kakashi frowned.

"Chiba, are you okay?"

"No, it's okay, Kakashi-sensei, I'll take the Soldier Food Pill and continue."

Chiba pulled out a soldier food pill.

This is the defective product that was sent to Tian Tian and Sha before, and he kept one himself, and the effect of this one's hunger filling and supplementing chakra is very average, and he is about to use it for acting.

Kakashi sighed lightly, "Well, after all, we're on a mission, and we can't stop to take care of you." ”

"Yes, don't worry about me."

Chiba nodded.

Every day, Kazusha did not speak.

Although they didn't know what Chiba was thinking, they each had some guesses.

If what Kiyota Shin said is true, the other party is just a samurai equivalent to the elite shinobi, and Kakashi can completely handle it alone.

In case the Kiyota clan has a ghost in their hearts, Chiba can also take it by surprise with one hand.

Chiba did think so.

In addition, the three of them are weak, and they can force Kiyoda Shinya to join the battle.

This kind of thing......

It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not.

The best choice is definitely not to take orders, but Chiba is very interested in the swordsmanship of Iron Country, and he also wants to know what the Kiyota clan is doing.

The greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

It's still possible to take a risk once in a while.

Chiba touched the thick pile of rune paper and detonation talisman in his arms, and felt a little more secure in his heart.

Every day、And yarn is not a pig teammate。

They actively cooperate with Chiba, pretending that Chiba is usually frail.

During the break, Kiyota Shin couldn't help it and found Kakashi and asked in a low voice.

"Kakashi-sama, who is this?"

"My disciple Yanagi Chiba has a very good talent, and he created a lot of ninjutsu at a young age, but unfortunately ......"

Kakashi sighed.

Kiyota Shin's expression was complicated, and he was speechless for a while.

Kakashi smiled and said, "Don't worry, although this disciple of mine is poor in physical skills, he is very strong in ninjutsu and is very trustworthy in battle." ”

"It turned out to be a ninja who is good at ninjutsu, no wonder, but as a ninja, you can't fall behind, you still have to supervise more."

Kiyota said.

"Hahaha, he is now my subordinate, I will definitely supervise you and bother you."

Kakashi laughed.

Make eye contact with Chiba every day.

She suspected that Chiba had guessed wrong, and Chiba decided to continue acting with the idea that guessing wrong would only be one more drama and not much loss.

To observe swordsmanship, it is enough to bring a pair of eyes.

Chiba made up her mind.

According to Kiyota Shin's information, Yuichi's previous location was in a small town in the northern part of the Fire Country near the Iron Country, and it was not too far from Konoha to that side.

They went all the way, and Chiba could clearly feel-

The samurai gentleman was watching them in the dark.

As an employer, assessing the strength of the team seems to be a more reasonable motivation, but combined with the many suspicious places before, Chiba feels more and more that this guy is not so simple.

While gathering information in the town, Chiba found an opportunity to communicate secretly with Kakashi.

Kakashi agreed with him and gave him a "don't worry" look.

There is a deployment at the beginning of the fifth five-year period, and the problem should be stabilized.

Chiba has no worries behind him, otherwise he will choose to take advantage of the current situation and control the other party.

"Mr. Kiyota, if expected, the other party may have left here, do you have any further clues?"

After the communication, Kakashi turned around and asked.

With all your brains clear, how could a samurai who was proficient in concealment wait in place?

"Well, that guy used to be an Orion, so he might run into the mountains, and you know, I went to Konoha to find your help, so ......"

Kiyota Nobu scratched his head, his expression very embarrassed.

"Isn't there anyone else in your Kiyota family to help? Although the opponent is just a samurai comparable to the elite shinobi, if he wants to run, you can't stop it alone. ”

Chiba said.

Kiyota Shin bowed his head, his expression was a little ashamed: "That's right, it turned out to be three people, but the other party knows the forest very well, and injured my other two partners with traps, poison and knife skills, and I can't chase it alone, so ......"

"So that's the case, so the other party still knows how to set traps and configure poisons?"

Kakashi's face was solemn.

"Yes, that guy doesn't understand the spirit of bushido at all, and he doesn't deserve to be a real samurai!"

Kiyota Nobu was indignant.

Kakashi was silent for a few seconds, he had serious doubts about the information of the "Elite Shinobi", and the other party was likely to be an existence comparable to the Shinobi, like that......

What does Kiyota Shin mean when he asks for help?

Personal or familial?

He wasn't sure.

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi said, "Mr. Kiyota, do you have something for the target person, preferably something close to you. ”

"Yes."

Nobu Kiyota takes out the bloodstained fragments of his clothes.
