Sand Hidden City

Kakashi glanced at the vigilant Sand Shinobi behind him, tightened his white robes, and walked into a hotel.

As the brand-new external elevator slowly ascended, Kakashi's gaze swept through the glass across the Kazekage Building, and after reaching the top floor, he opened the door to the bed, his fingers picking up the satin curtain to reveal a gap, squinting his eyes and observing secretly.

As the minutes ticked by, Kakashi remained in this position, as if he were a sculpture.

Finally, the familiar figure appeared from the Kazekage Building, and Kakashi pulled out the photo to reconfirm it, and the figure disappeared.

Thanks to the help of the previous stepping point, Kakashi smoothly approached Nohara Rin, and just as he was about to approach the other party, Nohara Rin, who entered the shopping street, was overwhelmed by the crowd, Kakashi frowned, but after hesitating for a moment, he chose to follow again.

In the crowd, Kakashi pinpointed Nohara Rin's location, and just as he was about to stop the other party, he keenly noticed the looming gaze of the dark part of the other party's side.

Just as Kakashi pondered how to bypass the shadows, his footsteps unconsciously hit the chest of the person in front of him.

"Sorry"

Kakashi hurriedly bowed slightly in apology, and at this time, his eyes looked at the man in front of him who was wearing the traditional costume of the Land of Wind, his face was also wrapped in a veil, and his body had a bloody aura unique to ninjas.

Kakashi was instantly alert, and with a confession, he hid in the crowd.

"Scorpion, do you know anyone?"

The scorpion's mother turned back and saw that her son was not following, so she turned her head to look at her son, and found that he was looking motionlessly somewhere, so she asked with concern.

"Nothing."

The scorpion shook his head and replied.

Although the tone is still flat, unlike facing other people, this flatness is not indifference, but a slight sense of happiness in life.

The scorpion took one last look at the vanished figure, glanced at the shadows not far away, and walked over to its mother.

Although it is important to catch suspicious elements, it is obviously not as good as spending time with your mother.

The shadow nodded, weaving through the crowd like quicksand, keeping up with Kakashi's pace.

Kakashi followed Nohara Rin to a food stall and secretly observed Nohara Rin while eating meatballs.

Nohara Rin must be dead.

As the executioner who pierced the other man's chest, no one knew this better than him.

But if Nohara Rin is dead, who is in front of him?

Appearance can be faked, voice can be faked, but those little habits can't be faked.

Or who would put such a lot of effort into stealing the identity of a middle ninja?

She is not the daughter of a big family, nor is she a genius with a special bloodline, and no one will waste so much energy on her.

Kakashi recalled what the Akatsuki member had told him, if Hoshino Maki had mastered the ninjutsu of resurrection from the dead, why would he tell himself?

There were so many doubts that Kakashi couldn't help frowning, and his eyes unconsciously stared at Nohara Rin.

This kind of obvious gaze, Nohara Lin is a ninja after all, and this naked gaze naturally arouses her vigilance.

Suddenly, looking back, the four eyes met, and a familiar feeling instantly made her brain go blank.

Even though her body was shrouded in a white robe, even if the veil covered most of the other party's face, her eyes alone made her recognize the other party's identity.

She was just about to say something, but she saw a thick figure blocking in front of her.

The obscured gaze also brought Kakashi to his momentary distraction, and a quick glance of his gaze made him realize that he had fallen into the encirclement of the other party.

Kakashi's muscles were tense all over his body, these shadows were not his opponents, the key was that this was Sand Hidden City, and it would be difficult for him to escape if he was really entangled.

Kakashi took one last deep look in Nohara's direction, and a smoke grenade landed at his feet, and the sudden rise of smoke sent the crowd near the food stall into a panic, and the screams and the rush of people became Kakashi's best cover.

As soon as those shadows wanted to chase out, they heard a clear shout from behind them: "Don't chase!" ”

The shadows paused, and their eyes invariably looked at the captain, who was the one who stood in front of Nohara Lin, he waved his hand, signaling them to continue the pursuit, and he turned around and looked at Nohara Lin lightly.

"Maybe you'd like to talk to Kazekage-sama."

Nohara Rin gritted her teeth, put the money at the bottom of the bowl, got up and walked briskly towards the Kazekage Mansion.

Kazekage's Mansion, even though the temperature outside has reached below zero, the study is still as warm and pleasant as spring, and Hoshino Maki is wearing pajamas while flipping through the papers, and casually forking a piece of fruit into his mouth with a fork.

Knock Knock –

"Please come in"

Hoshino Mu looked at Nohara Rin, who walked in with a generous posture to the death, and looked at the dark part behind the other party with a puzzled look.

After listening to the report of the dark department, Hoshino Mu touched his chin, thought for a moment, and motioned for the other party to leave.

When the door closed, Hoshino Maki spoke, "Kakashi? ”

Under the other party's slightly surprised gaze, Hoshino Maki nodded: "It seems that it is really Kakashi"

At this point in time, Hoshino Maki really didn't know Kakashi's purpose.

If it was to inquire about intelligence, Kakashi obviously didn't need to follow Nohara Rin, who was obviously heavily guarded; If not, Kakashi, who has always been loyal to Konoha, would appear alone in Sand Hidden Castle?

Hoshino Makki suddenly thought of Yakushi's pocket being put back by Kakashi, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

In his cognition, the members of the protagonist group must be loyal to Konoha characters, so most of the targets of his strategy are people who know that they will rebel, or have irresolvable conflicts with Konoha and have never considered Kakashi.

After all, the two sides still have the White Fang thing in the way, and it seems that it can only be a hostile relationship, but the Yakushidou incident last time, coupled with Kakashi's unexpected move, made Hoshino Maki feel that this matter can be tried.

But obviously, he alone is not enough.

Hoshino Mu looked at Nohara Lin and said in a regretful tone: "I'm sorry, if it's an ordinary Konoha ninja, for your sake, I can detain him and use it to negotiate with Konoha." But Kakashi's words, you have also come into contact with information about him in the Secretariat, the dark department, the elite Shinobi, and the disciple of the fourth generation, the information in his hands is too valuable to us. ”

When Nohara Lin heard this, her mood sank to the bottom.

She was confident in Kakashi's strength, but she knew more about how terrifying the sand shinobi were.

Over the years, with the improvement of treatment and the investment of a lot of resources in Hoshino Makii, the number of new ninjas in the sand ninja is more than in the past three years, and there are even a few elite shinobi who stand out.

Not to mention the middle ninja, which is an intermediate force, is already almost the same as Konoha before the war.

Although there is still a slight gap in the strength of personnel, with excellent forbearance equipment and the rationing of inhuman detonation charms in the trenches, these gaps can be bridged.

Although she can't interfere in the defense of Sand Hidden City, with her understanding of Hoshino Maki and the other party's death-fearing character, there must be many powerful ninjas in the city, and no matter how strong Kakashi is, he will be defeated with two fists and four hands.

Combined with the recent situation, this approaching war may be the battle that will determine the situation in the ninja world for decades to come, and it seems that Hoshino Maki does not plan to keep Kakashi anymore, but wants to use the ninjutsu of stealing information to drain the information in the opponent's mind.

"Hoshi, Kazekage-sama, Kakashi is a rare genius in Konoha in the past ten years, if he can help Shinobi do things, it will definitely make the future war a lot easier."

Hoshino Mu nodded, then spread his hand and said helplessly: "I naturally understand this, but Kakashi is the son of White Fang, he has an irresolvable hatred with Sand Shinobi, plus he is a banner of the new generation of Konoha , how can he help Sand Shinobi do things?" True Red, that old-timer, old-timer, still refuses to bow his head, will Kakashi, who is deeply affected by the Will of Fire, betray Konoha? Don't turn against him when the time comes, it's better to squeeze the value out of his insurance now. ”

"How could it be, White Fang was forced to death by the villagers of Konoha, what does it have to do with Sand Shinobi? If you really want to say that it has a relationship, Sand Ninja is also the bottom brick of White Fang's honor, and for White Fang, Sand Ninja is his merit book. So if you really want to talk about enemies, Konoha is obviously Kakashi's enemy. ”

"As for the Will of Fire." Nohara Lin paused, was silent for a while, and said with a complicated expression: "Maybe it's not so indestructible." ”

When people look back at the past at each stage, there will always be something worth laughing at.

Nohara Rin had seen some of the dirty tricks and tricks of the Sand Hidden Castle, and she had been rewarded handsomely by listening to the merchants boast of their close ties to Konoha adults at the izakaya in the Land of Fire.

Some are fake, some are true, and most are half-truths.

But combined with her own memory, the words of these businessmen can explain a lot of things, and teach her a good lesson.

She never thought that the Nara family would suppress the medicinal herb merchants who entered Konoha in an all-round way, so that the other party would not even be able to gain a foothold in the Fire Country;

She never thought that the common ninja equipment in the village turned out to be so cheap, but it was so expensive to go to the weapon store that made people gasp, behind it was several families who monopolized the ninja industry in the village, among which there was even the ape flying clan behind the amiable Hokage grandfather.

There are many more things like this, and Nohara Rin has become numb, she now has no faith in the so-called will of fire as close to faith as it used to be, but as an inspiring slogan, and the most emotion in her heart for Konoha is only the love of her hometown, she doesn't want the village where she grew up to be affected by the war, or even burned.

She's working for Konoha Ninja Village, not for Konoha.

Hoshino Mu looked at Nohara Rin's face with a sense of vicissitudes that did not fit his age, and pursed his lips: "Lin, although I know that you have some nostalgia for Konoha in your heart, and even some of your behaviors do not meet the requirements of a Kazekage secretary, but."

Hoshino Maki's words changed: "I'm still willing to give you a chance, Kakashi, but only once, do you understand?" ”

Nohara Rin's heart was about to sink to the bottom when she heard the first half of the sentence, but the latter words made her breathe a sigh of relief, and she quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, repeatedly promising that she could persuade Kakashi to turn back.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang, Hoshino Mu took the phone, nodded, and then said to Nohara Rin, "Ten minutes ago, Kakashi crashed into Raksha's hand and has been sent to prison, you can take my hand and go over." ”

Hoshino Mu looked at the back of Nohara Lin leaving, and his face was a little strange.

Let Nohara Rin persuade Kakashi to surrender, this picture is too beautiful for him to look at.

Thinking of this, Hoshino got up and took his coat.

If you don't dare to watch it, you have to watch it, and it's a pity if you miss this scene.

——

The night in Sand Hidden City was already cold, and the prison combined with the occasional moans of pain and the dried blood stains on the torture equipment made the temperature drop by a few degrees.

Nohara Rin walked on the cold, uneven rocky ground, and couldn't help but tighten her coat.

She had expected Kakashi to have a comfortable environment like True Red or Old Purple before, but she didn't expect it to be in an ordinary cell this time.

This also talks about the attitude of star Yemu from the side, he is really not ready to raise idlers.

With a worried face, Nohara followed the jailer to a cell, and the jailer opened the door, saluted respectfully, and said, "My lord, I'm going to wait outside, and you can tell me at any time." ”

Nohara Rin nodded, and walked into the room, only to see Kakashi hanging his head on a wooden shelf, his clothes in tatters, scarred all over, his hands and feet still wearing special chakra shackles, and the blood marks on his face had not yet scabbed, apparently not following any humanitarian principles in the process of law enforcement.

"Kakashi"

Nohara Rin looked at Kakashi for a long time and shouted softly.

Kakashi raised his head in a trance, looking at the familiar appearance in his memory that coincided with the person in front of him, and his blood-stained lips opened slightly: "Rin is really you~"

Nohara Rin pursed her lips and stepped forward, the pale blue chakra in her hand lit up, and she quickly treated Kakashi's injuries.

After a few minutes, Kakashi's state was much better, and he looked up at Nohara Rin, looking at each other, and neither of them knew what to say for a moment.

He was not a fool, and after the excitement of the first meeting, some obvious questions naturally came to his mind.

Ordinary people don't have the protection of the shadows, and it's still six, and Nohara Rin's every move doesn't look like it's forced.

When all possibilities were ruled out, and the only one left could only be true, even if he didn't want to believe it anymore, Kakashi was a little overwhelmed by all of this.

Should she be called a traitor?

Or do you persuade her to get lost?

Unable to make a decision, Kakashi could only remain silent.

Similarly, when Nohara Rin stood in front of Kakashi again, no matter how beautiful she said in front of Kazekage, she still couldn't open her mouth when it came time to implement it.

After all, no matter what she thought in her heart, the next thing she was going to do was hurt Konoha.

"Kakashi, you're still as handsome as ever."

Nohara Rin narrowed her eyes and opened the topic with a smile.

Kakashi blinked, was silent for a moment, and said, "Thank you. Your medical ninjutsu is also better than before. ”

Nohara Rin looked at Kakashi, pursed her lips, lowered him from the wooden frame, and said softly, "You know what I'm here for, right?" ”

Kakashi looked up, looking at Nohara Rin with the same eyes that had been lonely since the death of White Fang, and said word by word, "Yes." But, Konoha, there are no traitors. ”
