410 The Shimura Has Ice Release
🕑 Added 2025-11-25 06:04:02 +0000 UTC"Kakashi is too unreliable!"
Returning home, Sasuke recalled what happened today, and his impression of Kakashi dropped even further in his heart.
So, he proposed to Itachi the idea of changing teachers.
"Sasuke, Kakashi-san is already one of the most outstanding ninja in Konoha."
After listening to Sasuke's account, Itachi was also quite helpless.
He hadn't expected that the first person Obito would target after taking office would be his childhood friend, Hatake Kakashi.
Is this the bond between the two?
It really is... quite fragile...
"Moreover, if I remember correctly, your chakra natures should be Fire and Lightning. Speaking of strong Lightning attribute chakra users in the village, the only one I can find for you right now is Kakashi-san."
Itachi tried his best to persuade Sasuke.
"But I heard Takeshi-san is proficient in the five nature transformations, surely he can also use Lightning Release?"
Although Sasuke was persuaded, he still wouldn't give up completely.
Itachi sighed.
He hadn't learned any ninjutsu from the other party himself, and moreover, Takeshi had been gone for a while. Aside from knowing that he was learning Senjutsu, Itachi was unaware of any other information.
"Alright, Konoha has now implemented a ninjutsu point exchange system. Based on mission points, you can exchange for secret techniques from various clans. When the time comes, I will find a suitable Lightning Release ninjutsu for you."
Touching Sasuke's head, Itachi revealed a doting smile.
"Okay, but if there's a chance, I still want Takeshi-san to teach me ninjutsu."
Sasuke buried his head in Itachi's chest, speaking in a muffled voice.
...
"Still not confessing honestly? I tell you, regarding your smuggling route, I have found decisive evidence!"
In the interrogation room of the Police Force, Obito personally went into action, interrogating Kakashi who was before him.
"You guy..."
Kakashi gritted his teeth, looking at Obito in front of him.
This guy, was the first thing he did upon taking office to arrest him?
To think he had even prepared a gift for Obito. Looking at it now, there was no need to give it; he himself had become the biggest gift.
"Still won't speak, Kakashi?"
Obito was very familiar with Kakashi. Even though the other party wore a mask, just relying on the changes between his eyebrows and eyes, Obito could guess Kakashi's current emotions.
Seeing the other party resisting him so much, Obito decided to change his interrogation method.
"Kakashi, you disappoint me too much. You clearly know that eliminating pornography, gambling, and drugs is the policy set down by Takeshi, yet you still violate it in secret. Have you forgotten, we swore long ago to follow Takeshi's footsteps for a lifetime?"
Obito's sudden gentle tone made it hard for Kakashi to adapt for a moment.
However, the parts of his speech concerning Takeshi were indeed his heartfelt words.
Obito in his youth had already given up the dream of becoming Hokage, changing to supporting Takeshi to become Hokage.
Now, he had already become the Captain of the Police Force, yet Kakashi stood on the opposite side of them for the sake of a few little yellow books.
Kakashi was momentarily tongue-tied, silently lowering his head, organizing his language in his heart.
Obito saw Kakashi's dispiritedness and decided to pursue the victory:
"Kakashi, me, you, Takeshi, we three are friends. That lecherous old man is our real enemy.
"I promise you, as long as you provide full information on that smuggling route, I will definitely use my connections to extricate you from the case, and all the guilt will be borne by the lecherous old man."
Obito left the small interrogation table and walked straight in front of Kakashi:
"Kakashi, do you really want to abandon our common ideals for that lecherous old man?"
Kakashi was obviously somewhat shaken, but to have him sell out Jiraiya just like that, he also couldn't do it.
After all, Jiraiya gave too much.
"If you really aren't willing, then I have no choice but to report this matter to Takeshi, and then spread it a bit among our contemporaries, for example, Might Guy and the like..."
"I say, Jiraiya forced me to do all of this."
Kakashi couldn't wait to confess.
...
Jiraiya had absolutely no idea that Kakashi had already sold him out.
He was still feeling melancholy about being... that thing. Facing Tsunade's intense questioning, not knowing what to say, the only thing left for him to do was hide.
Tsunade's curiosity had a time limit. Seeing that Jiraiya had already started hiding from her, her attention gradually shifted to other matters, and the pursuit of Jiraiya became less frequent.
Getting a chance to breathe, Jiraiya found a proper tavern and drank sullen wine alone.
Drinking alone, without anyone to confide in, is a depressing thing.
The more Jiraiya thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Borrowing the strength of the alcohol, he decided to go find Orochimaru to pour out the helplessness in his heart.
No sooner said than done.
Jiraiya threw a stack of banknotes onto the table and left the tavern, his body swaying.
Watching Jiraiya leave, the bartender on the side hurriedly stepped forward, grabbing the banknotes and counting them carefully.
"Truly a generous guest with a lavish hand..."
Taking out enough money to pay the bill separately, the bartender unceremoniously took the excess money as a tip given to him by Jiraiya and stuffed it into his own pocket.
...
In the Research Bureau.
Danzō did not leave a single step, his single eye staring dead at Orochimaru who was registering parameters for the Rinnegan in the laboratory.
Ever since Minato brought the Rinnegan to the Research Bureau, Danzō had forcibly commandeered a room. Every day, the moment he opened his eye, it was to check if the Rinnegan was still there.
Toward this eye fanatic, Orochimaru also had no good solution.
Fight him? The guy has a good son; Chase him away? This guy won't listen to hard or soft tactics.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also had no good solution for this old friend of his, and could only let the other party run wild in the Research Bureau.
Considering that his future research would still need to use Danzō's power, Orochimaru ultimately could only tacitly approve of Danzō's behavior.
"Orochimaru-sama, Jiraiya-sama has barged in."
Just as Orochimaru was inwardly complaining about Danzō's difficulty, a subordinate walked over and whispered this news.
Another one comes?
