Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

"Lord Jiraiya, what would you like to talk to me about?"

Chiba felt that she had nothing to talk about with Jiraiya, nor was she interested in talking to him about anything.

Because Chiba had already guessed that Jiraiya would most likely talk to him about Kakashi.

"Chiyu, is Kakashi's condition a bit off? Should we give him some time off to rest?"

Chiyu said calmly, "Lord Jiraiya, Kakashi is my disciple, and I know his situation best. Kakashi is in good condition now and is fully capable of handling this mission."

Jiraiya said seriously, "Kakashi wasn't always this cold-hearted. He might be having psychological problems. Chiyu, as his master, you need to take this seriously."

Chiyu gazed at Jiraiya and said, "Lord Jiraiya, I'll say it again: I know Kakashi's situation very well. He's just learned a lesson."

Jiraiya frowned and asked, "What's the logic behind that?"

Chiyu said, word by word, "As a ninja, the mission is the most important thing compared to your comrades. As long as the mission is completed, anything else can be abandoned. This is a lesson that Lord Sakumo taught Kakashi with his own life."

Jiraiya's brows furrowed even more.

He completely disagreed with Qianyu's theory.

But now he seems unable to refute it.

The tragedy of Sakumo Hatake confirms Chiba's theory.

"Lord Jiraiya, if there's nothing else, I'll take Kakashi with me on this mission."

Qianyu turned and left.

As they reached the door, Chiba suddenly turned to Jiraiya and said, "Lord Jiraiya, if you have the chance to meet Minato Namikaze, I hope you can pass on a message for me."

"What?"

"His initial theory of prioritizing companions was wrong, and this has now been proven true."

After saying that, Qianyu left the room.

Jiraiya kept his gaze fixed on Chiba until Chiba left.

Jiraiya's expression was grave.

Jiraiya couldn't understand how things had come to this point with Sakumo Hatake's tragedy.

Perhaps Sakumo Hatake was wrong, but his mistake was definitely not that serious.

According to the rules of ninjas, Sakumo Hatake was wrong, but according to the Will of Fire, he was not wrong.

Sakumo Hatake should not be blamed by everyone.

"How could it have turned out like this? It shouldn't have happened, old man..."

What Jiraiya was truly worried about was Kakashi.

If Kakashi becomes Chiba's disciple, he will likely be taught by Chiba to become an emotionally detached person like himself and Orochimaru.

Jiraiya sighed.

He could only offer a reminder; there was nothing else he could do.

...

Chiba and Kakashi began their mission in the Land of Grass.

As time passed day by day, a rumor began to circulate in the Land of Grass.

A demon with blood-red eyes and a white-haired son wearing a mask are slaughtering madly on the battlefield.

The person known as the Blood-Eyed Asura is none other than Qian Yu.

The white-haired son wearing a mask is none other than Kakashi.

Although Chiba and Kakashi were assigned an investigation mission to investigate the situation of Iwagakure.

However, when encountering a team with a small number of Iwa ninja, Chiba and Kakashi would simply slaughter them all.

In the high frequency of battles, Kakashi's strength changes almost every day.

Moreover, Kakashi also picked up Chiba's habits.

The enemy must be beheaded or have their throat slit; in short, the enemy must be killed beyond any hope of survival.

Kakashi's current style is almost exactly the same as Chiba's.

The actions of Chiyu and Kakashi did not have a significant impact on the overall situation.

The Iwa ninja will continue to act as before.

However, even the Iwa ninja couldn't take being killed like that by Chiba and Kakashi.

The Iwa ninja repeatedly formed pursuit teams to hunt down Chiba and Kakashi.

However, due to Chiba and Kakashi's mobility, every attempt by the Iwa ninja to pursue them ended in failure.

Whenever Chiba and Kakashi learned about the situation of the Iwa ninja, they would immediately use their summoning beasts to report it to Jiraiya and Nara Shinsuke.

Thanks to intelligence support, although a counterattack against the Iwa ninja was not possible, the situation has been temporarily stabilized.

The Iwa ninja didn't want their own ninja to be killed by Chiba and Kakashi so easily, so they issued an order.

If a team of seven or fewer Iwa ninjas encounters Chiba and Kakashi, they can retreat without being held responsible.

After all, with fewer than seven people and only one Jonin, they had almost no chance of winning against Chiba and Kakashi, so there was no need to fight Chiba to the death.

In the Land of Hot Springs, Chiba's reputation is somewhat enhanced by the fact that the leader of the Hidden Hot Springs Village is Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

Now in the Land of Grass, Chiba has gradually made a name for himself: Blood-Eyed Asura.

"Blood-Eyed Asura, what an awful nickname."

Qianyu curled her lips in disdain.

Chiba and Kakashi simultaneously pulled their ninja swords and short blades from the necks of the two Iwa ninjas.

Kakashi wiped the short blade in his hand and complained, "Chiba-sensei, your title is already very good, okay? I'm being called the White-Haired Son, it's unbearable! If my teacher's wife knew, she would definitely laugh at me."

Every time Kushina Uzumaki replies to a letter, she inquires about Kakashi's situation. Therefore, Kakashi now writes a separate letter and sends it to Kushina Uzumaki along with Chiba's letter.

In the letter, Kushina Uzumaki enjoyed teasing Kakashi.

So when Kakashi first learned that he was called the White-Haired Child, his first reaction was that Kushina Uzumaki would definitely laugh at him if she found out.

After sheathing her ninja sword, Chiba said, "There's nothing I can do. You're just a kid now. It's already good enough that you're not called 'white-haired child.' If you were really called that, I wouldn't even need Kushina; I'd be the first to laugh at you."

Kakashi's throat tightened. If he were really called "White-Haired Child," he would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Kakashi asked, "Chiba-sensei, where should we look next?"

Qianyu held the map, which was covered with countless crosses.

Chiba scratched her head in frustration: "I don't know either. I've searched everywhere I could think of, but I still can't find her. She's probably not in the Land of Grass after all..."

Kakashi thought for a moment and then said, "Chiba-sensei, why don't we go to Kusagakure and look for them? After all, Kusagakure has the largest population of people in the Land of Grass right now, doesn't it?"

Chiyu shook her head and said, "Kushina's clansmen are definitely living in seclusion now. Why would they go to a place like Kusagakure, which is now overcrowded?"

Kakashi frowned and said, "But sometimes it's easier to hide when there are more people around, isn't it?"

Chapter 112 Find the target

Kakashi's words, "Sometimes it's easier to hide when there are many people around," stunned Chiyu.

Chiba had always held the belief that Karin's mother, who was in seclusion, would definitely choose to live in a place with few people.

However, Chiba overlooked the current situation in the Land of Grass.

The Land of Grass has become a battleground between Konoha and Iwagakure. It can be said that no place in the entire country is safe except for Kusagakure, and battles could break out at any time.

Because Kusagakure is currently in a neutral state, the Konoha and Iwa ninjas will not attack Kusagakure for no reason.

Therefore, the entire Kusagakure Village is the safest place.

Most of the people of the Land of Grass have now gone to the Hidden Grass Village to seek refuge.

Although red hair is rare, there are many strange hair colors in the ninja world.

Kakashi's gray-white hair, Minato Namikaze's yellow hair, and Pain's orange-yellow hair.

Even in the future, Gaara, who has absolutely no connection to the Uzumaki clan, still has red hair.

After Kakashi's reminder, Chiba seemed to understand.

Originally, it was thought that Kusagakure was the least likely place for Karin's mother to go, but now, Kusagakure is actually the most likely place for Karin's mother to go.

Chiyu happily ruffled Kakashi's hair: "Kakashi, you're simply a genius!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes at Chiba and smoothed his hair, which Chiba had ruffled.

After Kakashi retrieved the ninja tools from the bag of the defeated Iwa ninja, he followed Chiba to Kusagakure.

Since Chiba and Kakashi left the Konoha base after accepting their mission, they haven't been back for a long time, so they rely on these Iwa ninjas for their ninja tool supplies.

Chiyu and Kakashi were not far from Kusagakure, and they arrived near the village a day later.

Looking at the fully armed Kusagakure ninjas near the village, Kakashi clicked his tongue and said, "The defenses are really tight."

Chiyu explained, "There's no other way. Kusagakure is currently surviving in the cracks. They don't dare to offend either Konoha or Iwagakure, so they simply don't dare to let Konoha ninjas or Iwagakure ninjas in."

Konoha ninjas and Iwa ninjas are definitely strictly prohibited from entering Kusagakure; otherwise, it would be easy for the opposing ninjas to find a loophole, and then they would have a reason to attack Kusagakure.

So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's use the transformation technique.

Chiba and Kakashi used a transformation technique to disguise themselves as other people.

Kakashi asked, "Chiba-sensei, shall we just go in through the main gate like this?"

Chiyu shook her head: "No, the Kusagakure village's screening process is probably very strict now. It will definitely be a hassle to get in, so we'll go in from somewhere else."

Kakashi asked in confusion, "But with such tight security, how are we going to get in?"

Kakashi suddenly realized: "Chiba-sensei, you're going to use genjutsu to go in, right?"

Qianyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Smart, come with me."

Chiyu led Kakashi to the weakest point in the defenses of Kusagakure.
