Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 54 Stars Shine

Regarding the arrangement for Minato to stand guard at night, Chiga looked up at Kakashi and saw that Kakashi did not object.

He also said, "Then I'll have to trouble Minato-senpai and Kakashi."

Chiga knew that Minato was looking out for him.

Although it was late, it was only around 8 p.m. Minato and Kakashi each kept watch for four hours. By the time it was Chiga's turn, it was already 4 a.m., and he had slept for at least seven or eight hours.

"In that case, I'll go to sleep now. Please wake me up in four hours, Mr. Minato."

Kakashi ignored Chika and spoke to Minato before walking into the makeshift tent.

"Chika, you should go in and get some rest too!"

Minato spoke softly to Chiga, then sat down by the fire.

Chiga nodded upon hearing this and followed Kakashi into the tent.

All three were men and didn't have any particular hobbies, so they kept things simple and just set up a tent.

Moreover, with Chiga and Kakashi's small bodies, they wouldn't be able to get out of the tent even after rolling around twice.

Lying on Kakashi's other side, Chikashi covered himself with his blanket and was about to close his eyes when he suddenly remembered something and said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, you don't snore, do you? I'm a very light sleeper, and I wake up easily at the slightest noise."

[Negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake, emotion value +10!]

"I won't fight!" Kakashi said in a muffled voice.

Chiga looked satisfied and then said, "Oh, so you don't mind if I snore, do you?"

[Negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake, emotion value +50!]

"If you dare to snore, I'll kill you!"

"Nonsense! I was asleep, how could I control my snoring? Kakashi, you're so unreasonable!"

[Negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake, emotion value +60!]

Sitting in front of the fire, Minato listened as the noise from inside the tent gradually subsided, until only the even breathing of Chika and Kakashi remained, and smiled slightly.

Kakashi has become much more active since Chiga joined the team!

Although Kakashi was his disciple, the two were not the same age and there was still a generation gap between them.

When the two usually talk, he'll talk non-stop while Kakashi listens quietly and rarely interrupts.

But now it seems that Kakashi and Chiga get along surprisingly well!

However, Chiga's personality is really... infuriating!

Minato looked up at the moonlight. The bright moon hung high in the sky, indicating that tomorrow would surely be a clear day, perfect for traveling.

"Wow, those stars are so sparkly!"

Minato suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Under such a bright moon, there is still a star shining!"

At the same time, three intelligence reports about Chiga and his two companions were sent to three different places in the ninja world.

The Land of Wind.

"Kakashi Hatake, the only son of Konoha's White Fang, has come to the Land of Rivers? Hahaha, what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

As an advisor to the Third Kazekage, Chiyo also had her own private office. Looking at the intelligence sent by her subordinates, she was overjoyed.

The deaths of her own son and daughter-in-law remained a thorn in her heart, and she always wanted to take revenge on Hatake Sakumo.

However, Sakumo Hatake was at his peak at this time. Not only could she not deal with him, but even if the Third Kazekage were to take action, the outcome would be uncertain.

He thought he would never have a chance to take revenge in this lifetime, but now he has actually received detailed information about Hatake Sakumo's only son, Hatake Kakashi.

It was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

If you can't handle the old ones, surely you can handle the young ones?

With this in mind, Chiyo's face revealed a cold expression.

"Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, I'll make you taste the pain of losing your son."

Chiyo thought for a moment, then frowned and asked, "How did you receive this information?"

The Sand Village's ANBU replied, "Please rest assured, Lady Chiyo. This information was gathered by one of my Chunin subordinates. He has served the Sand Village for many years and is not a ninja from an enemy country."

Chiyo nodded upon hearing this. The source of the information was reliable, which meant that this was not a scheme by someone with ulterior motives.

"In that case, let's begin arranging the assassination plan. I will make sure Kakashi Hatake dies in the Land of Rivers!"

Just as Chiyo was preparing to arrange for someone to assassinate Kakashi, a young man with bright red hair and a handsome face walked in.

"Grandma Chiyo".

At this time, Sasori had not yet left the Sand Village. At a young age, he was already a Jonin and was known as the most talented puppeteer in the Sand Village. He was also known as Sasori of the Red Sand in the ninja world.

Seeing her grandson walk in, Chiyo's sinister face suddenly turned into a smile, and she said kindly to Sasori, "Sasori, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I heard that Kakashi Hatake is on a mission in the Land of Rivers. I want to personally carry out this assassination mission to avenge my parents," Sasori said softly. "Using the son of my enemy as a puppet would make a very fine work of art for me!"

His poor grandson had been lonely since he lost his parents at a young age, and had no playmates in the entire ninja village.

All of this was caused by Sakumo Hatake.

Perhaps if Sasori were to personally handle Kakashi Hatake, this situation would change.

Chiyo only considered it for a moment before agreeing to Sasori's request.

"In that case, you, Sasori, will lead the team on this assassination mission."

The Land of Earth.

Compared to Chiyo, who was blinded by hatred, the shrewd and calculating Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was much calmer.

The moment he saw the information, he immediately checked its source and authenticity.

However, White Zetsu's methods are not easily discovered, so Onoki did not find anything wrong with this information.

"Mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique isn't easy. Konoha can't afford to produce another figure like the Second Hokage. Assign three demolition squads to bring me back Minato Namikaze's head. I also want to see how that old geezer Hiruzen Sarutobi reacts after seeing his beloved grand-disciple die!"

"Lord Tsuchikage, aren't three demolition squads too many?"

"What do you know? The Flying Thunder God Technique is excellent for escaping. How can you kill someone without bringing a few more people with you?"

"But wasn't the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, one?"

"Shut up, am I the Tsuchikage or are you the Tsuchikage?"

The Land of Water.

As Kirigakure was already under the control of Madara Uchiha, the higher-ups didn't care about the source of their intelligence at all.

"I heard that a small team from Konoha is on a mission in the Land of Rivers. Three of the team members are genius ninjas from Konoha, one of whom even possesses the Sharingan. They're planning to wipe out this team, frame the Sand Village, and disrupt the peaceful relationship between the two countries!"

The Third Mizukage simply made up a pretext to prepare to attack Chiga and the others.

"The Sharingan is a valuable item. Have two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist bring it back to me."
