Kannazuki was in the tent, calculating exactly how to ruin that old hag Chiyo's reputation.
The simplest way to ruin Chiyo's reputation was to spread rumors.
But since he was spreading rumors anyway, why not include Rasa and Ebizo?
The sly Kannazuki thought of a whole package of plans in his mind.
"Tsk, I don't have Shadow Clone. As for Sand Iron Clone, the risk is a bit high."
Kannazuki thought of using Shadow Clone to spread rumors.
If something unexpected happened while a Shadow Clone was spreading rumors, for example, if it was discovered, the Shadow Clone could turn into a puff of smoke and vanish completely.
However, if it was a Sand Iron Clone, the Sand Iron would be left behind when the clone dispersed, making it easy to discover that he was the one who did it.
"I need to plan this carefully."
The next day, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara returned.
When they submitted their mission report, they learned that Kannazuki had already arrived at the outpost and would join their team for future missions.
The three of them immediately asked for Kannazuki's tent location, then rushed into Kannazuki's tent.
"Kannazuki, you finally made it!"
Obito yelled loudly as soon as he entered the tent.
Because he had stayed up late planning yesterday, Kannazuki was still sleeping. Obito's loud voice startled him so much that he sprang up with a carp leap.
"Obito, are you sick? Why are you always so jumpy? Do you believe I'll kill you?!"
Kannazuki glared at Obito through gritted teeth, looking as if he wanted to devour Obito alive.
Obito wasn't scared at all; in fact, he felt excited.
Although Kakashi was outwardly reserved, he usually maintained a very serious demeanor.
As for Rin Nohara, the gentle Rin Nohara was usually quiet and calm.
Only Kannazuki would bicker and argue with him like this, which felt great.
Kakashi asked, "Kannazuki, when did you arrive?"
Kannazuki jumped off the bed, picked up a kettle, took a sip of water, and said, "Yesterday."
Rin Nohara asked, puzzled, "But, everyone here is a Sand Ninja, Kannazuki, you…"
Kannazuki scoffed, "Sand Ninja? I'm here to fight Sand Ninja! Especially that Chiyo who's commanding the Sand Ninja. I'm telling you, I, Kannazuki, and that old hag are sworn enemies!"
Obito stroked his chin, examining Kannazuki, "Eh, why do I feel like Kannazuki, you seem… Oh right, you mentioned 'going dark' before! Why do you seem to have gone dark?"
Kannazuki rolled his Byakugan, "Gone dark my foot, I haven't gone dark. I'm telling you three, from now on, you three better be polite to me and serve me like a dog!"
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara thought Kannazuki was acting up again, and simultaneously exclaimed, "You're sick!"
Kannazuki put his hands on his hips and shouted at the three of them, "You three really don't know what's good for you! You have no idea what I'm about to do for you three. If you don't treat me well, can your conscience live with it?"
Obito picked his nose and asked casually, "Then tell us, what are you going to do for us?"
Kannazuki pouted, "I do good deeds without leaving a name, so I won't tell you! Alright, you just returned from a mission, so you probably won't be going on another one so soon, right?"
Kakashi, who had already seen through him, smiled subtly, "Heh, your plan to be lazy is ruined. We just submitted our mission, and the Ninja who gave us the mission said that after you join us, we've already been assigned another mission."
Kannazuki puffed out his chest, "Tsk, lazy? I'm full of energy right now! You'll get to see the power of the new generation Kannazuki then. So, when do we depart?"
Kakashi replied, "We depart in three hours. The mission is to intercept a team of Sand Ninja transporting supplies."
Kannazuki raised an eyebrow, "Tsk tsk, we were intercepted when we transported supplies before, and now it's our turn to intercept others' supplies. Alright, see you in three hours. I'm going back to sleep. I slept very late yesterday and I'm still very sleepy."
Kannazuki burrowed back into his covers, showing Obito and the others the back of his head.
Obito and the others looked at Kannazuki with black lines on their foreheads. They were about to depart for a mission in three hours, and he was still going back to sleep?!
However, having just returned, they also wanted to rest well. Even an extra hour of rest would be good.
Three hours later, at the outpost entrance.
"Awwwooo~ This nap was really good."
Kannazuki, carrying a small backpack, yawned and stretched leisurely.
Kakashi looked at the mission scroll in his hand and said, "Let's depart quickly. According to the intel on the scroll, the Sand Ninja transporting supplies will reach the designated location in seven hours. Our journey there will take about two hours."
Led by Kakashi, Obito, Rin Nohara, and Kannazuki set off towards the target location.
Two hours later, Kannazuki and the others had arrived at the designated location.
Kakashi originally intended to set up traps, but Kannazuki stopped him, "Hey, no need to set up traps. Just wait and watch my performance!"
Kakashi narrowed his eyes, looking at Kannazuki, "After more than two months, you seem to have become much more arrogant, haven't you?"
Kannazuki retorted, "Arrogant? That's called being confident, alright! Later, I'll show you what a true weapon of mass destruction is. Also, I need to confirm something."
Rin Nohara asked, puzzled, "Confirm something?"
"Mm."
Kannazuki's voice showed no emotion. Obito wanted to ask further, but Kakashi stopped him, "Since Kannazuki wants to perform, then we'll just watch him perform."
Five hours later.
The Sand Ninja transporting supplies had arrived. There were five Sand Ninja in total.
Kannazuki turned to look at Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara behind him, extended two fingers to point at his own eyes, and then pointed at Obito and their eyes, meaning for them to open their eyes wide and watch his performance.
Kannazuki removed his Konoha forehead protector and used an Instantaneous Body Technique, appearing directly in front of the five Sand Ninja.
Seeing Kannazuki suddenly appear, the leader of the Sand Ninja squad immediately shouted, "Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"
The five Sand Ninja immediately tried to form hand signs to attack Kannazuki. Kannazuki extended his palm, "Wait!"
The five Sand Ninja unanimously stopped their movements.
Obito asked Kakashi blankly, "Kakashi, why did those Sand Ninja really stop when Kannazuki said 'wait'?"
"Uh… who knows?"
Not only was Obito confused, Kakashi was also very confused.
Kannazuki unrolled a scroll and summoned a large amount of Sand Iron. The Sand Iron formed into Kannazuki before everyone's eyes.
The Sand Ninja captain's expression changed when he saw Kannazuki's jutsu, "Magnet Release? Puppet? You're that traitor!"
Kannazuki looked at the five Sand Ninja in front of him expressionlessly, "Traitor? So what? What are you going to do?"
The five Sand Ninja all looked at Kannazuki with hatred, "Of course, we'll kill you, you traitor who betrayed the Village!"
Hearing their reply, Kannazuki smiled, a very happy smile.
"Now I can truly cut off all lingering thoughts. So, there's nothing to be ashamed of anymore."
