Chapter 169: Providing Work
🕑 Added 2024-09-25 14:09:50 +0000 UTCShino saw a figure he recognized. Shino squinted, sharpening his focus on Shini.
"That person..." Shino murmured to herself, recognizing the individual, but Shino still couldn't fully trust what she was seeing.
Shino moved quickly towards the remote area, her footsteps almost silent in the quiet night. Shino made sure there were no eyes watching before pausing for a moment, carefully sensing the surroundings.
After Shino was sure that no one could see him, Shini's body began to change slowly. Shino's face and figure shifted, transforming into someone very familiar: Kakashi. With Kakashi's perfect appearance, he smiled slightly behind his mask, feeling satisfied with the disguise.
Without wasting any time, Kakashi quickly rushed to the location where he had previously seen something suspicious. Upon arriving at his destination, Kakashi stopped on the rooftop, looking down. Two figures in black cloaks stand in the midst of shadows, surrounded by an unspoken aura of mystery.
One of those figures made Kakashi feel irritated, even though he kept his face expressionless behind the mask. That woman, Arin Fauski, is someone Kakashi could never forget. Arin is the person who stabbed Obito. A dark shadow from the past presses to resurface in Kakashi's mind.
Next to Arin, there was another figure—a teenage girl. The girl's face resembled Arin's, but younger, with a different hairstyle. Their differences are striking, although there are similarities in the lines of their faces.
A thought crossed Kakashi's mind.
"Are they siblings?" Kakashi's suspicion made Kakashi smile widely, but behind that mask, the smile contained many mysteries.
With a swift and graceful leap, Kakashi landed right in front of them, startling the two cloaked women. Arin quickly responded with caution, her sharp eyes watching his every move. The girl next to her looked confused, but remained silent in her place.
"Yo!" Kakashi said in a relaxed voice, although beneath the tone of his voice lay a simmering tension. A friendly smile appeared on Kakashi's face, even though it was hidden behind his mask.
"You!" Arin exclaimed. Arin's eyes widened for a moment, but quickly returned to a state of high alert. Arin recognized the person in front of him, even though Kakashi's appearance and demeanor seemed too calm for the situation.
"What do you want?" Arin asked firmly, her face clearly showing displeasure. Although Arin's demeanor was tense, she did not make any sudden movements, but her younger sister began to show signs of restlessness.
Kakashi raised both of his hands slightly, as if to show that he wasn't there to cause trouble.
"Don't worry, there's nothing for you to be concerned about. I have no reason to take anything from you," said Kakashi in a flat voice, but his words were quick and full of confidence.
Arin looked at Kakashi with great doubt. The smile visible behind that mask did not give Arin any sense of security at all.
"What I want from you... is just a simple job, it's easy, I promise. You just need to go to the Dark Market and find out some little information," Kakashi continued in a lighter tone.
"Work? What information?" Arin asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.
"Find out if there is a group of people planning to attack the City Academy. Is it just a simple rumor or something bigger—strange suspicious activities, whatever it may be. Listen, investigate, and report back to me." Kakashi stepped forward, his voice softer.
Arin then raised both of his eyebrows, surprised by the task assigned by Kakashi.
"Why do I have to do that? Are they really crazy? Who is foolish enough to attack the City Academy?" Arin's voice held disbelief, while her mind processed the information. The Academy of Fort City 085 is known as an untouched place—a symbol of strength and influence.
