Kitazawa said with a smile, "Besides, my strength is really not bad. Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in Lady Tsunade."
Kakashi Hatake hesitated.
"The Fourth Shinobi World War is long over, and Iwagakure won't be that vigilant."
Kitazawa offered his solution: "We can simply find a caravan and infiltrate it."
All five villages have sensory barriers in place.
Forcibly breaking in would be easily discovered.
But there wasn't one at the main gate.
"Well."
Kakashi Hatake eventually agreed.
Just as Kitazawa said, he believed in Tsunade.
The two discussed their plan and immediately put it into action.
Although Wuda Village is called a village, it is actually a fairly large town.
In addition, ninjas have considerable spending power, so many merchants travel between the five villages to do business.
Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake quickly found a sizable caravan, knocked two of the caravan members unconscious, and then used their transformation jutsu to sneak in.
The caravan was stopped at the entrance of Iwagakure Village.
However, they only made a registration and did not conduct a detailed inspection.
As expected, it's not that strict during peacetime.
Kitazawa suddenly thought of a ninja named Karin from the original work, who is also translated as Ari.
She was a spy from the village of Kasugai, and easily infiltrated Konoha Village by posing as a wandering singer.
Kitazawa was impressed by her because she had some connection with Kakashi Hatake.
Kakashi Hatake saved her, and she admires him.
But because of differing stances, nothing came of it.
In addition, Karin also has the ability to form hand seals with her eyes.
After entering Iwagakure Village, the two took the opportunity to break away from the caravan.
"We need to be fast."
Kakashi Hatake said with a serious expression, "After a while, the caravan will definitely notice that two people are missing."
"Come with me."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
Kabuto Yakushi entered Iwagakure as a spy.
In order to better steal intelligence, he became a ninja in Iwagakure under the arrangement of Root.
The scroll given by Tsunade indicated the location where Kabuto Yakushi currently resides.
A simple map was also included.
It can only be said that the secret service is indeed very thorough in its work, saving them a lot of time.
"It's that two-story wooden house."
Kitazawa stopped and said.
"Wait."
After Kakashi Hatake finished speaking, he formed hand seals and spread his senses, "There are no Jonin from Iwagakure around."
"Let's just knock on the door."
Upon hearing this, Kitazawa stepped forward.
Soon, the door opened, and a boy appeared in front of them.
Although it was Kitazawa's first time meeting Kabuto Yakushi, he still recognized him.
After all, he, like Kakashi Hatake, also had white hair.
Kabuto Yakushi did not disguise himself while working as a spy in Iwagakure; he used his true identity.
the reason is simple.
Disguise, such as transformation techniques, can be detected.
Furthermore, Kabuto Yakushi was trained as a spy from a young age, and even few ninjas in Konoha Village had ever seen his true face.
Who are you?
"I am wary," Yakushi Kabuto asked cautiously.
"We are ninjas from Konoha Village. We are here to bring you back to Konoha Village on the orders of Lady Tsunade and Senior Nonou."
Kitazawa said quickly.
"What did you say?"
Kabuto was stunned by the sheer amount of information conveyed in that single sentence and stood there speechless.
"We need to hurry, because the Root ninjas could make a move at any moment."
Kitazawa said in a deep voice.
Why should I believe you?
After organizing his thoughts, Kabuto asked.
He knew Yakushi Nonou and knew that she had always wanted to get rid of Root and Shimura Danzo.
With Tsunade's help, it is indeed possible.
However, Yakushi Kabuto is more cautious.
What if Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake were sent by Danzo Shimura to test his loyalty?
Such things do happen even at the root.
"Your glasses and name were gifts from Nono-senpai."
Kitazawa added, "If you still don't believe me, you can leave a shadow clone behind. In less than half an hour, someone will come to kill you."
Kabuto's expression changed slightly.
Although he often wears glasses, few people know that they were a gift from Yakushi Nonou.
I'll believe you for now.
Kabuto thought for a moment, then formed hand seals and created a shadow clone.
"Walk."
Kakashi Hatake advised, "Let's get out of the village first, lest we get trapped in Iwagakure."
Although he had closed his heart and buried his love, he had plenty of experience as a ninja.
After all, he was a super genius who graduated at five, became a Chunin at six, and a Jonin at twelve.
The three had barely left the village when Yakushi Kabuto suddenly trembled and stopped.
"Did something happen to the shadow clone?"
Kitazawa asked, guessing.
"Ah."
Kabuto nodded and said, "But it wasn't the Root that made the move, but the ninjas from Iwagakure."
"It's a case of using someone else to do the dirty work."
Kitazawa immediately understood, "Shimura Danzo sold your information to Iwagakure."
"how many people?"
Kakashi Hatake asked in a deep voice.
"Three Jonin and three Chunin."
The pharmacist frowned slightly and said.
"It seems we're in quite a bit of trouble."
Kakashi Hatake glanced around, not believing that Kitazawa and Kabuto could take on two opponents at once.
“We have the advantage of being able to get ahead, and if we’re lucky, they won’t be able to catch up with us.”
Kitazawa breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that 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 many ninjas who are extremely skilled at tracking."
After he finished speaking, he bit his thumb and slapped it on the ground.
A ninja dog appeared from the smoke.
"Parker".
Kakashi Hatake instructed, "Lead the way, and let us know if there are any enemies nearby."
"Ok."
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Parker didn't ask any more questions and turned to run.
Kitazawa looked at it curiously.
Parker has a significant role in the original comics.
It is one of Kakashi Hatake's summoning beasts, with a keen sense of smell, strong perception, and a talent for tracking.
In the original work, it achieved numerous victories.
It tracked down Gaara, Zabuza Momochi, Sasori, Sasuke Uchiha, and many other ninjas.
He also said a famous line to Sakura Haruno: "You use the same shampoo as me, but my fur is still much softer."
The three followed Puck toward the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.
Thanks to Parker's keen sense of smell, no battles occurred along the way.
But just when the three thought they could reach the Land of Fire smoothly, something unexpected happened.
The ground cracked open, and the soil transformed into dense spears that pierced towards the three of them.
"He's an Earth Release ninja."
Parker quickly said, "He's underground, I can't smell him."
Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
Kakashi Hatake forms hand seals.
Before him, the ground rose up, and a thick wall appeared.
There are also three dog heads on the wall.
The dense array of spears crashed into the earthen wall and immediately became embedded within it.
However, the earthen wall also developed cracks from this attack.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Kitazawa leaped up, landed on the wall, and spat out a gigantic fireball at the Earth Release ninja.
Temperatures soared, and the distorted air currents looked terrifying amidst the flames.
With a loud bang!
The fireball crashed to the ground, leaving it charred black.
The Earth Release ninja narrowly avoided the fireball's range at the last second.
Just then, a whooshing sound rang out.
