Since they were not familiar with Kusagakure Village, Kakashi first took his team members to scout various places in the main urban area of Kusagakure Village to facilitate route planning for later actions.
Kakashi did not have the same idea as Mu Yue. First, it was difficult to find the Anbu base, and second, Kakashi felt that there was an easier way to find evidence.
In order to be more concealed, Kakashi asked Obito and the others to use transformation techniques to disguise themselves. Now they are all adult men from the Land of Grass who can be seen everywhere on the streets.
"Kakashi, are you okay? Why does it feel like we wasted so much time but gained nothing?" Obito questioned.
He felt like he wasn't on an undercover investigation mission, he was just walking around.
"Talk less and do more, I am the team leader." Kakashi replied indifferently without explaining.
In order to make Obito understand, he had to explain the cause and effect details in detail. Normally, Kakashi might have some spare time for this, but during the mission he was too lazy to waste time like this.
Obito expressed his displeasure with an angry look, but he really didn't say anything else.
Because Obito felt that if a quarrel really broke out, he, as a team member, would definitely not be in the right, and if Nohara Rin spoke for Kakashi, he would be heartbroken.
Kakashi led the team into a tavern that looked quite lively. Kakashi scanned the entire tavern as if he was choosing a seat, but in fact he was looking for any Kusagakure ninjas in the tavern.
After discovering a group of Grass Ninjas drinking, Kakashi took Obito and the others to sit at the table nearby.
At this time, the Grass Ninjas were already drunk and their faces were red.
Kakashi ordered three bottles of sake and a few side dishes like an ordinary customer.
"Hey, Kakashi, do you really want to drink? This is forbidden." Obito couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Although they can receive missions to kill people after graduating and becoming ninjas and passing the protection period of Genin, Konoha strictly prohibits minors from drinking alcohol, and it is illegal to sell alcohol to minors.
So drinking is very exciting for Obito, and it is almost testing the edge of Konoha's laws.
Kakashi rolled his eyes at Obito, thinking it was too suspicious to come to the tavern without ordering any drinks.
"Just pretend, don't really drink it." Kakashi replied softly.
Although you are on a mission, you cannot do anything illegal.
Moreover, as ninjas, it is not difficult for them to pretend to be drunk to deceive ordinary people and drunken ninjas.
Obito nodded with some regret, he had an urge to try it.
Because many adult ninjas like to drink, Obito thinks that alcohol may be a very delicious drink, but some of its ingredients are harmful to minors, so minors are not allowed to drink.
Kakashi pretended to ask everyone to pour the wine into the glasses to further disguise himself.
"What a strange taste, will it really taste good?" Obito sniffed the wine glass curiously and found that it was a little different from what he imagined.
In Obito's impression, delicious drinks don't smell too bad, and correspondingly, most of the drinks that don't smell good don't taste good either.
Bang!
"Damn Konoha and Iwagakure, why don't they fight in their own country but insist on fighting on our land."
The Kusanagi drank the sake in the cup in one gulp, the blush on her cheeks deepened a little, and she slammed the cup on the table, accusing the two major ninja villages that were fighting a war on the territory of the Land of Grass.
"Hasn't this always been the case with these big countries?" The Grass Ninja next to him sneered.
"Relying on its strong military strength, it has never taken small countries like us seriously."
Because it borders the two big countries, the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire, the Grass Ninjas have often been affected by the open and secret struggles between these two major ninja villages, so most of the Grass Ninjas really have no good feelings towards these two major ninja villages.
In other words, they can't win because the gap in strength is too big, otherwise the Grass Ninja would definitely fight with one of them.
"There are wars everywhere now. In fact, it's the same everywhere. Besides, wars do have some benefits. Recently, a lot of high-quality new teas have arrived." A bearded grass ninja laughed.
The rest of the Grass Ninjas all looked at the Bearded Grass Ninja with contempt. Everyone is concerned about national affairs, why are you so lame when it comes to you?
"Which company does the new tea come from? Have you tried it?" the slightly drunk Kusanagi asked in a low voice.
Even though you may despise it, you still have to taste the good tea.
"I just went to have a drink after I came back from a mission yesterday. I heard that each family has a lot of new tea. After all, the current environment is not easy. There have been a lot of refugees coming recently." The bearded grass ninja shared his information.
"You are such a energetic guy. You still have this thought in mind despite the recent high intensity of the mission."
"I just drink tea when I'm tired."
Kakashi frowned. This was not the information he wanted.
"But the Kusagakure ninjas seem to have quite a few complaints against the Iwagakure. Is there no cooperation between them?" Kakashi extracted a slightly useful piece of information from the numerous junk messages just now.
Kakashi shook his head slightly in his heart. It was impossible to make a correct judgment with such little information.
Ninja villages will not turn against each other over a little dissatisfaction, and they will usually cooperate if it is profitable.
Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, Kakashi gave his team members a look and led them out of the tavern.
"It was really a waste of time just now. Those guys were talking about tea the whole time and didn't say anything useful." Obito complained after walking to a place with fewer people.
Just now he had been observing the Kusagakure ninjas out of the corner of his eye. Obito really couldn't imagine why a group of people would be discussing drinking tea so enthusiastically. Could it be that Kusagakure ninja village was a ninja village with a tea drinking culture?
Looking at Obito's clear and innocent eyes, Kakashi finally did not tell Obito the truth. It's better to be a little simple.
"Let's go check out some other places." Kakashi prepared to explore outside the main city area.
This was an S-rank war mission after all, and Kakashi had already expected nothing to be gained on the first day.
Normally, it is normal for a task of this level to take one or two months.
Several people continued to explore the Kusagakure Village and gradually walked to the place where the Kusagakure Village processed refugees.
Kakashi and the others saw a crowd gathering over there from a distance, and then a ninja wearing a Kusanagi forehead protector shouted loudly to maintain order.
"If you want to have food to eat, then register honestly and write down what specialties you have and what skills you have mastered. Ninjas can register first, and if you perform well, you can become a ninja of the Kusagakure Village." The Kusagakure ninja who maintained order shouted loudly.
The Kusagakure Village itself is not very wealthy, so it is certainly impossible for them to support those war refugees for free. Those who are useful can be kept to work, and the useless ones can be driven out.
As for what will happen to those who were driven out in the future, that is none of their business. After all, some of these people are not even from the Grass Kingdom.
Kakashi fell into deep thought as he watched the seven Grass Ninjas controlling thousands of refugees.
Although there is no problem in maintaining public order with the superhuman strength of ninjas, in terms of work efficiency, with so many people, it would take at least a dozen ninjas to be efficient.
"The mission is of high intensity and there are few ninjas..." Kakashi vaguely caught a hint of inspiration.
Then Kakashi shook his head again. There was still too little known information to jump to conclusion.
"Xiao Lin, look, there's a person with red hair over there." Obito looked around and suddenly found a rare hair color, and quickly told Nohara Lin.
There are many people with hair of different colors in the ninja world. Among the people Obito has seen, black hair is the most common, and red hair is the rarest. The only person Obito has seen with natural red hair is Kushina.
"Yeah, and the color is a bit similar to Sister Kushina's." Nohara Lin nodded.
Hearing this, Kakashi also turned his attention to the red-haired figure that Obito was talking about.
"Could it be a survivor of the Uzumaki clan?" Kakashi thought subconsciously.
Red hair is a major feature of the Uzumaki clan. If one's hair is red and he or she has strong chakra, then he or she is most likely a member of the Uzumaki clan.
Kakashi moved closer calmly and opened the transparent world.
With the blessing of the transparent world, the red-haired figure's body changed in Kakashi's eyes, and a large amount of chakra in his body was exposed to Kakashi's eyes.
Kakashi looked surprised.
All members of the Uzumaki clan have red hair, but this does not mean that all red-haired people are members of the Uzumaki clan. There are also ordinary people who are born with red hair.
But when coupled with powerful chakra, it's basically a solid proof.
"Tell me your name, age, and specialty quickly. If you don't want to, stand to the left." The registrar Kusanagi said impatiently.
Even if it is a job you like, you will get bored if you keep doing it, let alone repeating the same steps in a boring way. If it wasn't for the fact that this was a task issued by the Grass Ninja leader, the Grass Ninja would have started slacking off long ago.
"Hualing, twenty, can sewing be considered a specialty?" Uzumaki Hualing asked carefully.
"Stand on the left." The registered grass ninja did not answer Uzumaki Karin's question, but spoke in a commanding tone.
It is obvious that with this little skill, he cannot make a living in the Kusagakure Village today. He even thinks Hua Ling doesn't have enough strength to carry bricks.
Seeing this, Uzumaki Karin had no choice but to stand obediently in the left team, feeling a little confused.
The team on the left will be driven out of the Kusagakure Village. Several waves have already been driven out before them.
But she couldn't stay in the Kusagakure Village, so where else could she go? The war had made the Land of Grass chaotic and dangerous, and the Kusagakure Village was already one of the safest and richest places in the entire Land of Grass.
Another place that is equally safe and prosperous is the capital of the Land of Grass, but it is impossible to survive there without money. In a sense, it is even more difficult to survive than in the Grass Village.
In fact, there is a way for Uzumaki Karin to be accepted by the Kusagakure Village, because her greatest talent is not sewing, but her special Uzumaki physique.
But Uzumaki Karin did not dare to reveal it, because she knew that the entire ninja world now had deep malice towards the Uzumaki clan. Uzumaki Karin never dared to tell her last name in public.
Uzumaki Karin wants a stable and peaceful life. If she exposes her abilities, she will not be able to enjoy a peaceful and stable life. This contradiction makes Uzumaki Karin finally choose to hide it.
"Let's try our luck outside." Uzumaki Karin sighed in her heart.
She didn't have any great ideals of restoring the Uzumaki clan in her heart. She just wanted to live a peaceful life until she died of old age. Even such a simple wish was a luxury in today's ninja world.
"Take them out." Seeing that the team on the left had almost gathered, the leading Grass Ninja ordered the Grass Ninja next to him.
Kakashi began to retreat, preparing to create a shadow clone so that it could follow.
Although this unknown Uzumaki clan has nothing to do with the current mission, the Uzumaki clan is after all Konoha's closest ally. If the other party is in trouble, Kakashi is willing to help a little.
"Wait, what's going on?" Tsutomu Yokogawa, who came to inspect, asked casually when he saw a group of people walking towards the village entrance.
He was worried that his men were not doing their job well and would be discovered by the people of Flower of Grass, so he came to take a look.
"Chief, they are people who cannot contribute to the Kusagakure Village, and we are sending them out of the village." The Kusagakure explained with respect.
Yokogawa Tsutomu nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Hey, that red-haired guy stopped." Yokogawa Tsutomu, who was about to go back, showed an interested expression.
As the leader of the Grass Ninja, Yokogawa Tsutomu is not as ignorant as ordinary Grass Ninja.
When Uzumaki Karin heard Yokogawa Tsutomu's voice, her brain suddenly froze and she realized that someone might have noticed something.
However, as someone who had not practiced ninja skills, she definitely had no way of escaping among several ninjas, so Uzumaki Karin stopped obediently.
Feeling the envious and jealous eyes around her, Uzumaki Karin sighed in her heart. This was not a good thing.
Uzumaki Karin had to try her best to control her facial expression and pray in her heart that her identity would not be discovered.
Tsutomu Yokogawa walked in front of Uzumaki Karin, condensed his chakra and used a secret method to sense the other party's chakra.
His secret perception technique has a short range and is of little use in battle, but it can be used to detect chakra normally.
"You can stay." Sensing the chakra in Uzumaki Karin's body, Yokogawa Tsutomu smiled. He didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.
With the characteristics of the Uzumaki clan members, Uzumaki Karin was sacrificed to the Box of Paradise, and one of them is worth a hundred ordinary ninjas.
After saying that, Yokogawa Tsutomu gave the Kusashi some instructions and left.
The next batch of corpses was about to arrive, and he planned to dispose of Uzumaki Karin along with the ninja corpses when the time came.
The arrival of Yokogawa Tsutomu disrupted Kakashi's plan. In order not to affect the mission, Kakashi did not act rashly.
He planned to report the information to Mu Yue and let Mu Yue decide whether to contact the survivor of the Uzumaki clan.
In the evening, Kakashi's team returned to the hotel after completing a day's investigation.
"We did nothing today except walking around. We must be the group that gained the least. Kakashi, as the team leader, you are responsible." Obito tried to put the blame on Kakashi.
Kakashi looked at Obito speechlessly, "If you talk less, others won't think that our team has not collected any information."
Whenever he wanted to look up to Obito, Obito would speak.
"Okay, Teacher Mu Yue and the others seem to have returned. Let's go over there quickly." Nohara Lin smiled helplessly and acted as a peacemaker.
Seeing Nohara Rin speak, Obito ignored Kakashi's ridicule and followed him into the room.
