Kabuto Yakushi was finally able to leave.
When Kabuto Yakushi escaped from the alley, he realized that the sweat flowing from his body had already soaked his clothes.
"We must return to Iwagakure Village immediately!"
Kabuto Yakushi's face was extremely pale, with almost no blood visible: "We can no longer wait for the opportunity, we must find Dean Nonou immediately!"
While Yakushi Kabuto was hurriedly planning to rush back to Iwagakure Village to continue looking for the dean, he opened the red scroll to see what mission it had given him.
【March 16, night】
[Tuhe Canyon, assassinate a rebellious intelligence officer. 】
This task is quite simple for Kabuto Yakushi.
Although Yakushi Kabuto himself is a medical ninja, he has been practicing hard while working as a spy, and his assassination methods are no less than those of ANBU members.
However…
This task made Kabuto the pharmacist feel cold all over.
Normally, Yakushi Kabuto wouldn't care about this kind of mission, but at this point in time, a combatant of Akihara Kagura's level appeared here, so why did he need an intelligence officer like him to risk an assassination mission?
even…
Why can this mission be specifically written with a fixed time and place? Could it be that the assassinated member will definitely appear there at that time?
besides…
What about the photos of the targets you need to assassinate?
Why can I be sure that the person who appears there must be the person I need to assassinate!
unless…
The person who was assassinated was also arranged...
This time, this place, and the sudden appearance of Akihara Kagura...
All this information tells Yakushi Kabuto that the person requested to be assassinated in this mission scroll is most likely the Yakushi Kabuto he has been looking for.
If Kabuto Yakushi had not received any intelligence information from Akihara Kagura, he might not have thought of this problem; however, Kabuto Yakushi was particularly careful at this time, not wanting to cause any trouble that might lead to the death of him and Yakushi Nonou .
"There's still time."
Medicine Master Kabuto gritted his teeth and destroyed the red scroll: "If you haven't found the dean by then, go there and see if the dean will appear there..."
Kabuto Yakushi still had expectations for the future in his heart: "As long as we tell the dean clearly about Danzo Shimura's conspiracy, we won't kill each other..."
the other side.
In the alley of a border town.
Uchiha Itachi was a little helpless with Akihara Kagura: "Kagura-kun, please do not violate the regulations and rules of the Intelligence Department. This will put them in danger..."
"I'm a danger to them."
Akihara Kagura spread out her hands, seemingly even more helpless than Uchiha Itachi: "I will kill them sooner or later, do you really want to protect their safety?"
"I must protect the safety of my companions."
Uchiha Itachi's face immediately became serious: "Kagura-kun, I know that you were once a ninja of the roots, and maybe you still retain the style of the roots..."
Uchiha Itachi had already seen the behavior of the roots.
Uchiha Itachi also understood why Akihara Kagura was so unscrupulous.
All along, only the roots of Konoha would do things to kill their companions, and they didn't even need the Hokage's approval and only followed the orders of Shimura Danzo to kill.
"The root can kill companions, so I want to return to the root..."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, as if he didn't care about Uchiha Itachi's words at all: "If you think I'm wrong, just report it to Danzo-sama. Do you think that just by making a small report or something, you can secure your position?" The position of future leader?”
"I never thought about the position of the root leader."
Uchiha Itachi rubbed his forehead and continued: "Kagura-kun, can you stop following me? I have to find the next member of the Intelligence Department to convey Danzo-sama's order."
"It's against the regulations anyway..."
Akihara Kagura shrugged, but didn't care anymore: "One more time, one less time, it doesn't make any difference to me. Let's go, let me see who the next person is..."
Uchiha Itachi tried to persuade Akihara Kagura to understand a truth: "Unless permission is given, Konoha ninjas cannot casually know the identities of members of the Intelligence Department..."
"It would jeopardize their safety."
Akihara Kagura finished what Uchiha Itachi wanted to say, then took out his ears and said, "I was originally here to endanger their safety. Do you think I am the one who protects them?"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi felt trapped in an endless loop.
However, Uchiha Itachi was not helpless. He simply returned to the hotel where they lived, took Akihara Kagura back, and then sneaked out on his own.
Uchiha Itachi believed that the anti-tracking technology could definitely get rid of Akihara Kagura, so he confidently tried to contact the next member of the intelligence department based on the contact password.
Inside the hotel.
While Kakashi Hatake was teaching Akagi to refine chakra, he said to Akihara Kagura: "Kagura, don't disturb Itachi's work, although I know you really want to see Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Dean Nonou, But we cannot have casual access to members of the Intelligence Department."
"Fragrant phosphorus."
Akihara Kagura ignored Hatake Kakashi and turned to look at Karin: "Help me see where Uchiha Itachi is."
"Don't help him."
Hatake Kakashi shook his head.
"But…"
Xiao Xianglan glanced at Akihara Kagura uneasily, then looked at Hatake Kakashi, and said sheepishly: "That is Kagura-sama's request, I cannot refuse."
After saying that, Xiao Xianglian closed her eyes, but opened them suddenly in an instant. The entire border town was within her range of perception!
"I'm here to find... Uchiha Itachi's chakra..."
Xiao Xianglan locked the target in an instant and pointed out the direction for Akihara Kagura: "In the alley in the northwest, Uchiha Itachi is there!"
"keep it up."
Akihara Kagura patted her little head.
In the northwest alley of the border town.
Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto had exactly the same idea.
After the incident in which Uchiha Obito controlled the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki and Iwagakure blocked the entire village for a week, Konoha would definitely send people to ask for information from intelligence personnel.
After Yakushi Noonoyu saw his own connection code, he quickly contacted Uchiha Itachi and reported on the recent major events in Iwagakure Village.
Compared to Yakushi Kabuto, Yakushi Nonou obviously had more contact and even received clear information that Uchiha Obito was not captured in Iwagakure Village.
"This is your new mission."
Itachi Uchiha handed Yakushi Nonou a blue scroll: "Senior Yakushi Nonou, Danzo-sama asked me to tell you that this is the last mission."
"Thanks."
Pharmacist No Naiyu said his thanks seriously.
In so many years of spy career, pharmacist Nonoyu has never seen such a polite junior, and it even made her feel a little uncomfortable.
certainly.
Most importantly, he brought good news.
The last mission!
Pharmacist Nonoyu doesn't care at all about the tasks in the blue scroll. She is more concerned about what happens after the last task is completed...
Just complete this task...
This will free Yakushi Kabuto from the roots!
This is the agreement between Yakushi Nonou and Shimura Danzo.
When they last contacted her, Danzo Shimura promised her that as long as she did one last mission, she would let Kabuto Yakushi leave his roots and never have to live this precarious spy life again!
"move."
Uchiha Itachi did not intend to continue communicating with her.
In order to protect the identity of the spy, Uchiha Itachi shortened the communication time as much as possible, mainly because he was a little worried about Akihara Kagura's sudden appearance.
This task is really difficult...
Generally speaking, don’t spy contacts only need to be careful about being discovered by the enemy? Why should I be wary of being discovered by my own people?
However…
Still a little late.
Because when the pharmacist Nonoyu was about to leave, a figure quietly landed in front of her, which instantly aroused her vigilance!
"who!"
Yakushi Noonoyu thought that someone had noticed his connection with Uchiha Itachi, so a kunai quickly appeared in his sleeve and he drew it in the direction of the person!
This is a teenager.
A boy whom the pharmacist Nonoyu doesn’t recognize!
However, regardless of the boy's skill or the timing of his appearance here, it is unlikely that he is one of his own, he can only be the enemy of Iwagakure Village!
The boy raised his hand to stop Kunai!
Medicine Master Nonou's kunai directly scratched his arm, leaving a long wound, and the blood instantly dyed the boy's arm red!
"Don't do anything..."
Uchiha Itachi had already recognized Akihara Kagura's appearance, and quickly spoke to stop him: "This is the ninja in the village...Senior Yakushi Nonou..."
Uchiha Itachi remembered that Hatake Kakashi mentioned Akihara Kagura and Yakushi Nonou, and asked in surprise: "You...should know each other, right?"
"Long time no see, Dean Nonoyu."
Akihara Kagura had already seen the photo of pharmacist Nonou, and casually wiped the blood on her arm: "The dean probably doesn't know me, or even remembers me..."
"..."
A flash of doubt flashed in the mind of pharmacist Nonoyu.
Is this young man someone I know? Or a child who grew up in an orphanage? Otherwise, why would you call yourself dean?
Since agreeing to Danzo Shimura to serve as a spy again, Yakushi Nonou has not been back to the Konoha Orphanage for a long time. Is this child a child who grew up in an orphanage?
"Let me help you with treatment first..."
Pharmacist Noonoyu looked at the blood flowing on Akihara Kagura's arm, and a ball of light green chakra quickly appeared in her palm.
"There is no need."
Akihara Kagura shook her head and slowly raised her arm. The wound on it was healing rapidly. This was the healing power brought by Hashirama's cells.
"Who are you…"
Pharmacist Nonoyu racked his brains and thought about the group of children in the orphanage. Which child has this magical healing ability?
like…
not a single one.
If it's not a child in the orphanage, it should be a child in the village. Which child in Konoha has this magical ability to recover?
Pharmacist Nonoyu felt a little ashamed and felt that she still couldn't remember. Her spy career over the years had really taken a lot of effort from her...
"I'm so sorry!"
A gentle smile appeared on the face of the pharmacist Nonoyu, as if this gentle and loving smile like a mother's glance could heal the pain in people's hearts: "I haven't been back to the village for a long time, and I can't remember it at all. Maybe it's because you have grown up." He has turned into a handsome boy..."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Akihara Kagura nodded, with a strange smile on her lips: "Dean Nonoyu has not changed much, he is still as gentle as before..."
"Kagura-kun..."
Uchiha Itachi stood nearby and felt that their atmosphere was a bit strange, so he softly persuaded: "It's time for us to leave, and it's time for Senior Yakushi Nonou to leave, so as not to be noticed by the enemy..."
"Yes, this is enemy territory."
Pharmacist Nonoyu nodded quickly, realizing that this was not a place to reminisce about old times, and said: "I have been away for too long, and I must rendezvous with my teammates here immediately, lest they doubt my identity!"
For Yakushi Nonou, the most important thing now is her last mission, because rescuing Yakushi Kabuto from the root has been her inner demon for the past five years!
"goodbye."
Akihara Kagura politely moved out of the way.
"goodbye!"
Pharmacist Nonoyu left quickly.
After Yakushi Nonou left the alley, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask the name of the boy who came after him. However, this was just a small rude thing. The most important thing was Yakushi Kabuto!
Inside this cyan scroll is the last mission!
Pharmacist Nonoyu hurriedly found a safe place, opened the cyan scroll, and saw a combat mission that was a bit difficult for her.
【March 16, night】
[Tuhe Canyon, assassinate a rebellious intelligence officer. 】
Pharmacist Nonoyu saw a photo of a target to be assassinated printed in the scroll. On the photo was a young man wearing glasses whom she did not recognize.
"There should be no problem..."
"It seems that the target is not very old..."
"Although I am not good at fighting, the target's combat experience should not be particularly rich, and his strength should not be too strong..."
the other side.
Akihara Kagura stood at the entrance of the alley, watching with dark eyes the pharmacist Nonou's figure completely disappeared, and then slowly withdrew his gaze.
"..."
Uchiha Itachi has been paying attention to Akihara Kagura's eyes.
When this teammate looked at Yakushi Nonou, he seemed to be a completely different person. There was a calmness and serenity about him that was not in line with his character. Obviously Yakushi Nonou was a very important person to Akihara Kagura.
It is not easy to delve into this matter.
Uchiha Itachi calculated his purpose of coming to Iwagakure Village. The two tasks of contacting members of the Intelligence Department have been completed, and only the last task is left.
Uchiha Itachi recalled the blue scroll that Danzo Shimura finally gave him. On that blue scroll was written his last mission.
That task is also my own assessment.
As long as he completes that assessment, he will become a spy placed by the high-level officials of Konoha in the Uchiha clan, and will also become a pawn placed by the Uchiha clan in the Anbu.
【March 16, night】
[According to information from members of the Intelligence Department lurking in Iwagakure Village, there are two Intelligence Department personnel in Konoha who are about to defect, hiding in the Tuhe Canyon. They must be killed to prevent Konoha's secrets from being leaked. 】
Fourth update!
The update is completed!
Kabuto Yakushi and Nonou Yakushi are just test tools, Danzo's real test is Itachi Uchiha...
In the original work, Shimura Danzo first betrayed Yakushi Kabuto's information and asked Iwagakure Village to hunt Yakushi Kabuto, and then asked Yakushi Noonou to follow him to hunt down Yakushi Kabuto whom she did not know...
