Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 551 Crazy Gossip and Gossip

It turned out to be the case.

Case solved.

This book originated from Kirigakure, no wonder it's so serious, it shouldn't be like this at all.

Kakashi suddenly realized.

Although Kakashi actually heard the real information about Sukuna from Bai Mo.

That's why Kakashi suddenly changed his tune just now.

But could he hear from Bai Mo that Mizukage Mei Terumi wouldn't do it? Zabuza wouldn't do it? Or anyone else from Kirigakure wouldn't do it?

Therefore, the deduction that this serious novel originated from Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) is not problematic.

With this explanation, everything else makes sense.

In order not to disrupt the current alliance, Kirigakure subtly exonerated the Fourth Mizukage Yagura's blood mist while spreading the novel, indicating that he was being controlled.

This isn't for the villagers to see; it's for those who fled the village because of the blood mist.

That's why this novel wasn't circulated in the ninja world, because there was simply no need to spread it there.

Most of those who fled Kirigakure because of the Blood Mist lived on the islands of the Land of Water; almost none of them went to the mainland.

This is a matter of lifestyle habits.

Furthermore, the two Susanoo not only correspond to Madara being the first Uchiha to absorb his brother's power, and not only correspond to Madara's Susanoo appearance, but also suggest that what controls Yagura is actually two "Madaras".

The real Uchiha Madara at the beginning, and Obito who impersonated him later!

Huh?

Obito?

The name reappeared in Kakashi's mind, making him feel melancholy once again.

On his way here, he observed Obito's current actions in the Tsukuyomi world. He hadn't completed the last beginner's task yet, but Obito's mental state was already somewhat off.

Kakashi could only pray that Obito could be defeated and then rise again.

Now, let's get down to business.

"Grandma Chiyo is right, this is..."

"Alright, since that's how it is, then it's none of your business. Kakashi, you can stay out of here... Oh wait, this is your territory, I'm leaving."

Zabuza interrupted Kakashi, and at the end, he turned and left.

This decisive action left everyone completely bewildered.

Wasn't Zabuza coming in all aggressive mode just now?

Why did you suddenly back down and leave at lightning speed?

"So that's how it is. Zabuza isn't just a pure brute after all. No wonder Bai Mo had him stationed in the Land of Waves."

Kakashi paused for a moment, then quickly smiled knowingly, understanding Zabuza's reason for leaving so decisively.

On the other side, Yekura also figured out the reason.

Since this matter is a political task for Kirigakure, Zabuza, as a rogue ninja whom Kirigakure is not currently pursuing, should not get involved any further.

Zabuza himself did not want to return to Kirigakure, nor did he want to owe Kirigakure anything more.

Most importantly, Yagura should be exonerated, which is something Zabuza would like to see.

"Zabuza is...

Ye Cang was about to tell the three little ones the reason she had come up with, but before she could say anything, the three little ones seemed to have a sudden epiphany and understood it all at once.

"I understand now. Zabuza is actually a tsundere. He came here on purpose to attract Kakashi's attention. He actually has a crush on Kakashi!"

"Yes, I was wondering why Zabuza's arrival was so abrupt. It's true."

"After Granny Chiyo appeared, Zabuza saw clearly the lingering connection between Kakashi and Granny Chiyo. The greatest sorrow is the loss of one's heart. It was supposed to be a movie about three people, but he couldn't even have a name. He should be under the car, not inside it..."

Heartbroken and desperate, Zabuza chose to leave silently.

"..."

Yecang silently set aside her original conjecture and accepted the three little ones' new conclusion.

Yekura discovered that as long as Kakashi is assumed to be a reasonable person, the three children's reasoning would become very logical.

And "Kakashi is a man of principle," that is indeed a fact.

So there's no problem.

"What are you doing!"

Suddenly, a furious shout, tinged with fear, shyness, and terror, came from afar.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to that direction.

Wow, one wave subsides and another rises, how come there's more gossip to eat?

The three gossips were in high spirits at this moment. They looked at each other and nodded as if they knew each other perfectly – sure enough, coming to Kirigakure was the right decision!

The one who spoke was one of the three people sent by Kirigakure to learn Sage Mode.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Kakashi, as the promoter of Sage Mode and the oldest of the three, naturally went over to see what conflicts needed to be resolved.

"..."

Qing, who was wearing a mask, had a livid face underneath.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then hesitated, too embarrassed to speak.

Finally, Kakashi noticed Ao's embarrassment, so he pulled Ao aside and, under the increasingly disappointed gazes of the others, began to talk in hushed tones.

"What can't be said openly and honestly?"

Ye Cang muttered something to himself.

At this point, Ye Cang had gradually been influenced by the gossip trio.

Now she really wants to know what exactly happened.

Why was that masked man from Kirigakure's scream so intense, so full of emotion, as if he had been killed for a thousand years?

"Master, don't rush. Shichi learned a move from Temari-nee—what are we waiting for? Now is the time to use that move!"

Masaki looked anxiously at Matsuri, who was nominally Gaara's disciple.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Matsuri began forming hand seals, unleashing "White Ink Style Temari Style Wind Release Secret Technique: Listen to the Wind's Whisper!"

Don't ask why this name is so long.

This technique was actually something Bai Mo had mentioned to Temari, and Temari developed it herself, then forcibly attributed it to Bai Mo.

As for the effect...

"Nothing happened?"

Yecang was puzzled.

Judging from the name, it's Wind Release. As the Sand Village of the Land of Wind, using Wind Release isn't a problem. But what about Wind Release? Aren't Wind Release techniques all about cutting through the air?

and many more!

Suddenly, Yecang noticed that a sound was coming from the room.

Could it be that……

Listen to the Wind's Whisper, as the name suggests, is a wind-style ninjutsu used to eavesdrop on information!

Yekura didn't delve into that; for now, she wanted to hear the gossip... well, the information was more important.

After all, this thing doesn't have a replay function; once you miss it, it's gone.

Outside the crowd.

Ao complained to Kakashi with a frustrated expression.

He was just preparing to train in Sage Mode and was entering flight mode when, as a sensory ninja who had been on the battlefield, he suddenly and keenly sensed something was wrong.

Upon closer inspection, Ao discovered that the Hyuga clan member in the distance was actually using his Byakugan to spy on him as he entered Sage Mode!

Qing was so frightened that he got goosebumps and even crashed his plane. He also failed to cultivate Sage Mode.

"I'd heard from the Mizukage that Konoha is known for producing ninjas with strong bonds, but I never imagined I'd become a target myself..."

Qing sighed, and as he spoke, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Kakashi is also a Konoha ninja, and he is a confirmed all-around ninja who includes bond-type ninjas.

He wanted to talk to Kakashi alone. Wasn't that like sending a lamb to the slaughter?
