Chapter 172 The Shadow in the Dark
"Does the mission have a prerequisite?" Kakashi asked with a little confusion.
"Yeah! Some of them are secret missions that we don't want too many people to know about, so we will give a pre-task first! After the mission team arrives, we will give the final task!" The cat-faced Anbu ninja explained quickly.
"That's great! Isn't this mission very challenging?" Obito asked as he put his face close to the cat-faced Anbu in front of him.
"This is the kind of mission my great master Obito should accept!! Wahahahaha!"
"What is the final mission? Take it out quickly!" Uchiha Obito kept circling around the cat-faced Anbu.
The cat-faced ANBU took out a scroll from the ninja tool bag behind him.
"This is the final mission scroll!!"
Swish!
Before the cat-faced ANBU could finish his words, Uchiha Obito reached out to snatch the scroll.
The cat-faced Anbu moved quickly and dodged Uchiha Obito's movements.
"I'm sorry, but you're not the highest ranking on this team. I need to give the scroll to your captain." The cat-faced ANBU turned his face towards Kakashi.
Because he couldn't see the face under the mask, Kakashi didn't know what the other person's expression was.
"Kakashi, is this true?" Nohara Lin whispered into Kakashi's ear.
Nohara Rin was just a ninja of civilian origin, and her contact with the Anbu was limited to a few words in books when she was in ninja school.
Uchiha Obito had no doubts in this regard, because the Uchiha clan had always been the village's garrison and was aware of the existence of the Anbu.
"Yes!!" Kakashi nodded, indicating that the village did have the position of Anbu.
But what puzzled Kakashi was that he had never heard of any secret mission that required a prerequisite task.
Even his late father, the former mission master of Konoha, had never heard of the existence of such a mission from him.
"This is a secret mission from Lord Hokage. The team that has accepted the C-level mission to drive out the wild boars must accept it!" added the cat-faced Anbu!
Then he took out an identity card with an Anbu logo from his ninja tool bag and revealed his identity to Kakashi, Obito and others.
Kakashi looked at the other party's Anbu and confirmed that it was indeed from the village.
Although everything about this Anbu was normal, Kakashi always felt that something was wrong.
"I want to know what the mission is?" Kakashi was still full of doubts!
"This is the mission scroll! This mission is not difficult, but it requires absolute confidentiality!!" The cat-faced Anbu handed the mission scroll to Kakashi.
"Open it quickly! Kakashi! Quick! Quick! Quick!" When Obito saw Kakashi got the scroll, he kept jumping up and down beside Kakashi, and he was so excited that he couldn't stop.
This kind of mission involving secrets undoubtedly touched a certain point in his mind!!
Kakashi ignored Obito and slowly opened the scroll.
The task on the scroll was simple. All he had to do was to safely deliver the items in the backpack to a small town near the port of the Fire Nation.
"Is this the mission?" Kakashi asked in confusion.
Is it worth going through so much trouble for such a simple task of just delivering an item?
The cat-faced Anbu shook his head and said, "I don't know the content of the mission. I just handed the mission scroll and other things to the team carrying out the mission!!"
"Since you have accepted the mission, let's go now!!" The cat-faced Anbu took off the backpack behind him and handed it to Kakashi.
Kakashi looked at the other person with confusion and was reluctant to take the backpack!
"Kakashi, you have to know that once the mission scroll is opened, it means you have accepted the mission?" The cat-faced Anbu's tone gradually became colder.
The air around them also became tense.
"Obito, Rin, let's go!!!" Kakashi took the backpack handed over by the cat-faced Anbu.
After looking at the map in the scroll and finding the right direction, several people ran quickly.
Standing at the edge of the farmland, the cat-faced Anbu watched Kakashi and his companions leave.
唰
Disappeared instantly.
blah blah blah!
The sound of crisp footsteps was heard, and in the dark underground passage, the flickering candlelight kept swaying in the flow of air.
The swaying flames distorted the advancing figure beyond recognition.
"Chief, he has been sent out!!" Under the dim light, it was the cat-faced Anbu who had just given Kakashi and the others the task.
The cat-faced ANBU knelt on one knee in the dim room and spoke in a humble tone.
"Ok?"
"Do they have any doubts?" A figure stood facing the wall, and the other person looked particularly tall in the candlelight.
"Except Kakashi, no one else has any doubts!" The cat-faced Anbu still lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
"Hmm! Does anyone else know about this besides you?"
"Reporting to the leader, there is no more!! "The cat-faced Anbu didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Then I understand!" Then he walked out.
The cat-faced ANBU saw this and stood up to follow the leader.
"You don't have to come out!" After saying this, the mysterious leader gently closed the door of the room.
The expression under the cat-faced dark mask suddenly became very ugly!
"Earth escape, split..." The cat-faced Anbu made seals with both hands!
“Ho, ho, ho…!!” The cat-faced Anbu loosened his hands that were forming seals, knelt on the ground, and uncontrollably strangled his own neck with his hands!
Constantly rolling and struggling on the ground!
Not a moment!
The cat-faced Anbu stopped struggling!
"Go clean it up!" As the mysterious leader was about to walk to the door along the secret passage, he turned his head slightly and said to the empty side!
"Yes!" A transparent figure emerged from the wall and nodded in agreement!
Then he slowly disappeared!
"Sarutobi, what should you do now if you claim to be neutral? Hehehehe!" After saying that, he strode out of the underground passage!
In the Fire Kingdom, in the forest!
Kakashi pulled Obito up from the ground!
"Obito, you have to be careful until the mission is completed!" Nohara Rin looked at Uchiha Obito, whose half face was swollen, and a hint of green appeared on her hands!
Medical Ninjutsu Healing Technique!
Ever since returning from the battlefield in River Country, Nohara Lin has begun training her medical skills!
Under the effect of healing ninjutsu, Obito's face gradually became less swollen!
Looking at Obito who was still slightly swollen, Nohara Rin said apologetically: "My medical ninjutsu is too poor. If Doujie was here, he should be able to heal your injury easily!"
"No, Rin, you are the best!" Obito immediately comforted!
"Let's get on our way!" Kakashi said to Obito who had recovered a little!
Kakashi always felt that something was wrong with this mission!
What would you do if it were you?
The white figure appeared in Kakashi's mind!
