Part Time Employee in Konoha (Completed)

Chapter 55: That Uchiha Obito guy…



Sometimes, subordinates have to obey the orders of their superiors.

Hatake Kakashi was very determined to protect Uzumaki Naruto, even at the cost of letting the dangerous Uchiha Obito escape.

Akihara Kagura glanced at his Captain, seemingly having no choice but to reluctantly agree with Hatake Kakashi's orders, yet he stubbornly added, “If Lord Danzo were here, he definitely wouldn't let this guy get away…”

...

Hatake Kakashi just slowly shook his head.

Even if Shimura Danzo were here, he would still be threatened by Uchiha Obito, because Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is far more important than capturing an enemy.

“Letting an enemy escape gives us another chance to catch him.”

Hatake Kakashi took this opportunity to try to correct Akihara Kagura's thinking: “If a comrade in the village dies, they can never be brought back... Kagura, a person who doesn't value their comrades is worse than trash!”

...

A look of confusion flashed across Akihara Kagura's face.

“Hmph!”

Uchiha Obito's expression changed slightly, then quickly became indifferent again. He shook his head slowly, laughing mockingly, “Kakashi, have you also learned to be hypocritical in Konoha? You, who killed Rin, can actually say such a thing…”

...

Hatake Kakashi's face suddenly turned somewhat pale.

“Hmph!”

Uchiha Obito spread his palms, speaking with a sinister face, “It's proven that in this fake world, whatever we say is always wrong!”

Uchiha Obito looked up, expressing his disdain for the world, “In this fake world, ninjas should stop at nothing to achieve their goals!”

“Obito…”

A hint of pain flashed in Hatake Kakashi's eyes.

Because the person who said he cherished his comrades was Uchiha Obito, this once positive and upward-looking friend had completely abandoned his former path...

“Only in the real world does that phrase truly become meaningful.”

Uchiha Obito said coldly, grabbing the black rod stuck in Uzumaki Naruto, his Mangekyō Sharingan flashing a space-time vortex, pulling his body into the space-time vortex and disappearing without a trace.

“Goodbye, Kakashi!”

“Next time we meet, you won't be so lucky!”

“...”

Hatake Kakashi watched his disappearance.

Not until Uchiha Obito left did Hatake Kakashi take a deep breath, slowly lowering his head, “Obito, is it now my turn to save you?”

The resurrection of a former comrade was a big deal for Hatake Kakashi, filling his once empty heart slowly;

The deviation of a former comrade was also a big deal for Hatake Kakashi, letting him know that his life was no longer without purpose.

“Captain Kakashi…”

Akihara Kagura looked at the somewhat dejected Hatake Kakashi, first throwing him an accusation, “Since the enemy was let go by you, why don't we go check on that kid Naruto, after all, I've also had ramen with him…”

“...”

Hatake Kakashi slowly nodded.

In fact.

Uzumaki Naruto's injury was not serious.

Although Uzumaki Naruto's body was pierced, when they wanted to take him to the hospital, the little guy's body had already healed.

Hatake Kakashi seemed to know something about Uzumaki Naruto's situation, murmuring softly, “The healing ability of the Nine-Tails' chakra? Or is it the Uzumaki clan's…”

“What should we do?”

Akihara Kagura looked at Uzumaki Naruto, who was about to wake up, and continued to ask, “Do we still take him to the hospital now? I think this little guy is probably fine, why don't we take him to have a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen first, I remember he didn't have dinner…”

“Ramen!”

Upon hearing the word "ramen," Uzumaki Naruto instantly woke up.

This little guy completely forgot that he was attacked and even had a Nine-Tails chakra outburst, and said with a delighted face, "Is someone treating me to ramen? Kagura, are you going to treat me to ramen?"

"Hmm, let me think..."

Akihara Kagura seemed to be in a good mood. After pondering for a while, he turned to his Captain, "Captain Kakashi, can we have the bill sent to Anbu from Teuchi, the handmade noodle master?"

"Let's wait a bit."

Hatake Kakashi shook his head and explained softly, "First, we need to meet with the Third Hokage and report tonight's events."

Whether it was Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki encountering danger, or the village hero Uchiha Obito coming back to life as a rogue ninja, both were significant events.

Tonight's events couldn't be hidden, and there were many follow-up troubles. Hatake Kakashi must report to the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Additionally...

Hatake Kakashi also wanted to probe a bit.

Who conducted the Wood Release human experiments on Uchiha Obito? Who colluded with Uchiha Obito? This would be key to finding Obito in the future!

"Eating first is also fine."

Akihara Kagura felt a bit hungry and repeated the most crucial issue of the night, "Captain Kakashi, since you let the enemy go, the report can wait, right..."

"I've been hungry for a long time today."

Uzumaki Naruto rubbed his growling stomach, weakly searching his body for something, "Where did you guys throw the mushrooms I picked on the mountain? That was my hard-found dinner..."

"I didn't see them."

Akihara Kagura spread his hands indifferently and said, "They must have been crushed by that guy named Uchiha Obito..."

"I'll treat you to ramen."

A black line appeared on Hatake Kakashi's forehead.

Hatake Kakashi could only take Akihara Kagura and Uzumaki Naruto to the Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant, planning to quietly ask them about Uchiha Obito on the way.

After all…

These two people were the first to discover Uchiha Obito.

Treating them to a bowl of ramen might be nice...

After all, both of them are victims.

Especially Akihara Kagura, this somewhat extreme kid, is likely to cause trouble whenever something displeases him.

As for Uzumaki Naruto...

Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but reach out and stroke the little blond's head. This child probably doesn't understand who the person who wanted to harm him tonight really is, right?

However...

Akihara Kagura understands what Uchiha Obito, who appeared tonight, means to Uzumaki Naruto.

When Akihara Kagura was about to reach the noodle shop, he suddenly said, "Oh, right, Captain Kakashi, I just remembered something..."

"You say..."

Hatake Kakashi nodded.

Akihara Kagura slowly began, "When Uzumaki Naruto saw him, a violent chakra burst forth from his body..."

"Uh-huh..."

Hatake Kakashi signaled him to continue.

Hatake Kakashi knew that the violent chakra that erupted from Uzumaki Naruto was the Nine-Tails' chakra. Has the seal of the Nine-Tails' chakra been broken?

That's a bit troublesome...

However, Akihara Kagura's next words made Hatake Kakashi feel that the leakage of the Nine-Tails' chakra was not much of a problem...

"That guy named Uchiha Obito..."

"The enemy you, Captain Kakashi, decided to let go..."

After emphasizing it once, Akihara Kagura continued, "When Uchiha Obito saw the violent chakra, he admitted that he was the one who created the Nine-Tails' disturbance six years ago…”
