Chapter 292: Manipulating Kakashi!
Chapter 292: Manipulating Kakashi!
"Yewako Rin didn't die!"
This statement instantly stunned Kakashi.
Logic told him that this was impossible, but deep down, he hoped it was true.
"Is it possible that the body you brought back then was a fake?"
Dong Ping reminded him.
At that time, he had rushed to the scene and taken Yewako Rin away, leaving behind a clone.
"..."
Kakashi's mind raced, recalling the scene.
Now that he thought about it, there were indeed some peculiarities and inconsistencies, but back then, he hadn't had the time to consider them.
Upon careful reflection, he was bound to notice something.
A ninja's sensitivity is undoubtedly beyond anyone's imagination, which is why he could discern the difference between a clone (without life) and a real corpse.
"Do you remember now?"
Dong Ping noticed the increasingly bright light in his eyes, understanding that he had indeed recalled the event.
"What do you need me to do?"
Kakashi had already made up his mind, and by asking this, he indicated that he believed Dong Ping's words.
"Rest assured, I won't make you betray Konoha, at least not for now. All I need is for you to gather some intelligence for me from time to time!"
Dong Ping smiled slyly as he made his request.
Yes, he wouldn't make him betray Konoha for now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't in the future.
He was absolutely confident that he could make Kakashi betray Konoha.
Remember when they raided Root and obtained numerous ninjutsu and documents, and they also acquired a special mission scroll?
Yes!
That mission scroll detailed the entire process of the Fangfang incident, from Fangfang spreading rumors within Root, to bribing the Leaf ninjas Fangfang had saved, and subsequent actions... and so on.
It was solid evidence.
With that mission scroll in hand, Dong Ping was never worried about failing to subdue Kakashi.
If Kakashi sought revenge, he would have no choice but to turn to him in the end.
Furthermore, he wasn't concerned about Kakashi being unwilling to seek revenge, as the Fangfang incident was undoubtedly a perpetual pain in Kakashi's heart.
As for why he wouldn't reveal the truth to Kakashi now?
Why should he? Dong Ping wasn't Kakashi's lapdog, and Kakashi had almost sent him to the afterlife under Danzo's orders.
Not taking revenge on him would be more than enough; this was also why he found amusement in Kakashi's predicament—it was his retribution.
He was a time-traveler, not a saint, so he would do as he pleased.
"I can!"
Kakashi agreed.
He thought it was normal for Dong Ping to gather intelligence on the village; it wasn't just him doing this; even the Fire Temple... Guardian Shinobi and various powers in the Fire Country were also collecting information on Konoha.
After all, Konoha was the leading village among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and its every move had a significant impact.
"By the way, have you mastered the Shadow Mirror Transformation Technique I gave you last time?"
Dong Ping suddenly changed the topic.
This secret technique obtained from the Land of Ghosts was something he had given to Kakashi long ago.
"I... I have!"
Kakashi nodded slightly after a brief silence.
The technique wasn't difficult; the key was the materials required when using it.
"If I ask you to use it on a woman in the future, will that be a problem?"
Dong Ping asked with a mischievous smile.
This was somewhat personal grudges.
He also wanted to see how Obito would choose between 'true love' and 'goddess' in the future.
It would surely be a memorable scene, and he would feel satisfied then.
"Okay!"
Kakashi looked deeply into Dong Ping's eyes.
He naturally understood the effect of that secret technique.
It could transform the user's body to perfectly mimic the target, but innate talents and chakra remained unchanged, so there was no need to worry about affecting strength.
Ten minutes later...
"Dream Seal!"
Dong Ping sealed Kakashi's memories of this meeting.
Kakashi also made his own arrangements, ensuring he would follow the instructions left behind.
Dong Ping's sealing technique was similar to Scorpion's Mind-Controlling Sand Technique, capable of sealing specific memories. Once unsealed, it would allow Kakashi to recall this meeting.
However, Scorpion was sealed using a physical method, while he was sealed through a spiritual approach.
In the Shinobi World, this was not an impossible feat, as there were many techniques capable of achieving similar objectives.
After completing the sealing, Dong Ping used Instantaneous Teleportation to leave.
Not long after, Kakashi regained consciousness and found himself alone, standing in the same spot.
But when he saw the hint left on his palm, he immediately turned around and left calmly.
With Kakashi taken care of, Dong Ping had nothing else of importance to do, except to wait for their departure from the village.
He wasn't worried that the village would prevent them from leaving.
Indeed, his assumption proved correct.
A few days later, they obtained permission to leave the village.
"Why is the village letting us go so readily?"
Uchiha Mei looked at Dong Ping beside her with a puzzled expression, unsure why the village was being so accommodating this time.
She had thought that the village wouldn't let them leave until the matter of the Celestial Fortress was resolved.
But she never expected that they would be allowed to leave so soon.
"We're too dangerous!"
Standing outside the Leaf Village, Dong Ping turned back to look at the village behind him and sighed.
Yes, the reason they were allowed to leave wasn't because the village had given up on annexing the Celestial Fortress, but because there was something more important.
The Jinchuriki was about to give birth! Uzumaki Kyuhinane had entered her labor.
During the Jinchuriki's childbirth, the Tailed Beast could easily break free, and the consequences would be unimaginable if someone caused trouble.
And they were considered dangerous individuals.
Even if Kyuhinane wished for Dong Ping and the others to stay and protect her, the others would definitely make them leave the village.
'Sarutobi Namikaze, this is your decision!'
This thought flashed through Dong Ping's mind.
Although he had plans for the Nine-Tails Night, it didn't mean he wouldn't consider Fuyuki Namikaze's suggestion.
As long as he could trust himself, even if it was for Kyuhinane's sake, he could still find a way to save him.
But now, they had the Hokage's permission to leave the village.
Haha!
Without a doubt, it must have been those old fools whispering in his ear; otherwise, with Namikaze's personality, he would never let them leave.
However, since Namikaze chose to trust the Hokage, Dong Ping wouldn't go and grovel before him.
"Jinchuriki... so that's why!"
Everyone had met Kyuhinane, and they immediately understood the reason.
It seemed that their near-violent confrontation had made the village leaders cautious, so they sent them back to the Celestial Fortress first, planning to call them back to the village to continue the discussion after the Jinchuriki's childbirth.
"The village is well-prepared for Kyuhinane's sister!" Hyuga Cangyue exclaimed.
"Who knows...!"
Dong Ping turned away, leaving behind an ambiguous remark.
The three of them looked at each other, each having guessed what was going on.
It seemed that there was a problem with this Jinchuriki's childbirth.
But since Dong Ping didn't say anything, they didn't ask.
The four of them returned to the Celestial Fortress, taking less than a few days, and there were no unexpected incidents.
Currently, the Great Shinobi War had just ended, and the major ninja villages were naturally peaceful.
However, during their absence, the various Daimyos had been increasingly harsh in their criticism of the Celestial Fortress.
Moreover, in the gold exchange, the rewards for Cha no Kuni had increased.
Apparently, these Daimyos weren't just all talk; they had put their money where their mouths were.
They dared not act openly, but when it came to spending money to cause trouble, these Daimyos had the guts and the funds to do so.
At the very least, Dong Ping had received a piece of intelligence halfway back.
Kakudo!
The other party had also set their sights on the reward.
As long as they 'rescued' the Daimyo of Cha no Kuni, they would receive a reward of fifty million ryo.
This price was enough to assassinate a Kage-level powerhouse, let alone rescuing someone.
Therefore, Kakudo was on his way.
The final part of this intelligence asked Dong Ping to let Kakudo off the hook, so Akatsuki could take the opportunity to recruit him.
