Chapter 474: Kakashi's Knowledge of the Truth (Saki!)
Chapter 474: Kakashi's Knowledge of the Truth (Saki!)
Sky Terrace of the Heavenly Defense Pavilion Hospital!
Two figures stood facing each other on the rooftop.
"It's been a while, Kakashi... Saki!"
Hanyu Rin looked at her tall and slender friend, with short white hair and an alluring presence even behind a mask. She hesitated for a moment before calling out her name.
Rin was already aware of her friend's situation, knowing that she had become a 'sister,' which made her hesitate in addressing her.
But her ninja training kicked in, and she quickly calmed down, realizing that her friend becoming a sister wasn't a big deal.
"Yes, it has been a while, Rin!"
Kakashi... Saki's gaze softened.
The fact that her friend had died at her hands was a constant nightmare for her.
It was only after learning from Dong Ping that her friend was still alive that she began to feel relieved.
However, since she hadn't seen her friend in person, she still felt a bit uneasy, even though she knew her friend wouldn't deceive her.
But now, Kakashi finally felt at ease.
Regarding her own transformation, she didn't feel any different, except for the occasional inconvenience; everything else remained the same.
Well, that was a good thing.
After all, in the original storyline, Kakashi was a single dog, and the gender change didn't affect that.
However, in the past, the Byakugan Wolf had to guard the Mist Ninja, leaving no time to visit Kakashi. If she were to meet Kakashi in the future, she wasn't sure if things would change.
After all, compared to Rin's admiration, their bond was deeper.
In the Shinobi World, love truly couldn't compare to 'bonds.'
For example, Senju Tsunade and Uchiha Sasuke were a typical case; in their hearts, they might even forget their wives and children but would never forget each other.
This demonstrates the significance of bonds in the Shinobi World!
It was unclear if the Byakugan Wolf's bond would 'change.'
In any case, Dong Ping was genuinely curious and wanted to uncover some inside information for entertainment.
"You still haven't forgotten about Danzo?"
Hanyu Rin sighed softly, a hint of pain appearing on her delicate face.
She was unaware that the Byakugan Wolf was still alive, as Dong Ping wasn't one to gossip; he only shared information when necessary.
After all, in the Shinobi World, with prophecies, divination, the White Death, and various secret techniques, information couldn't be shared carelessly.
"Danzo..." Kakashi's eyes first darkened, then she gathered herself and said, "At least I can still see the world through his eyes, right?"
If Rin hadn't died, then she hadn't broken her promise to Danzo, which was her greatest worry.
Therefore, Kakashi was currently in a state of unprecedented well-being.
Of course, she didn't know that the Sharingan in her eyes didn't come from Danzo; the real Danzo's eyes were in Dong Ping's possession.
"Is that so? That's wonderful!"
Hanyu Rin specifically arranged to meet Kakashi to help her resolve her inner conflict.
After all, her friend had previously been like a 'walking corpse,' and she cherished their friendship since they had grown up together.
"Hmm, but Rin, how have you been at the Heavenly Defense Pavilion?"
Kakashi began chatting about daily life.
It wasn't about gathering information but rather wanting to know if her friend was truly happy.
The answer she received naturally delighted her, as her friend was doing even better than she had imagined.
After chatting for a while, both of them turned their gaze towards the rooftop entrance.
The door had been opened.
Usually, no one would come up to the rooftop to enjoy the breeze.
However, upon seeing the visitor, both of them reacted differently.
Hanyu Rin felt like a child caught doing something wrong by her parents, while Kakashi remained calm, showing no surprise at all.
Well, Hanyu Rin felt guilty because Dong Ping had told her that if they were to meet, he would make the arrangements to avoid being discovered.
After all, she was a 'dead person.'
Especially during a time when spies were rampant, unexpected incidents could easily occur.
But Dong Ping wasn't truly angry.
The reason was simple; the current 'Hanyu Rin' was completely different from her previous self.
She had died shortly after graduating, and now she had grown into an adult, naturally undergoing significant changes.
The transformation in her appearance and demeanor made it impossible for anyone to recognize her, except for those with an incredibly strong impression of her former self.
Her name is now 'Rin', without the surname 'Hanyu', eliminating any concerns of being recognized.
Dong Ping's previous instructions were merely precautionary, not an indication of a significant risk.
The biggest risk was only the 'Byakugan Wolf'.
Once they discovered Rin, things would become troublesome.
Fortunately, the chess pieces deployed by the opponent were all under control, with dedicated personnel in charge, alleviating most worries.
"I told you, Rin is indeed alive!"
Dong Ping reached out and greeted Kakashi... Saki.
Seeing the opponent's transformation, the past grudges between them dissipated in his heart.
After all, the opponent still had to face a 'Betrayal Bond' Byakugan Wolf, and this entertainment was enough to compensate for their mutual grudges.
"..."
Kakashi didn't speak, but the gratitude in his eyes said it all.
"Oh, right!" Dong Ping, as if remembering something, took out a scroll from his chest and threw it over.
Slap!
Kakashi caught the mission log scroll, unsure of its meaning.
"There's a 'surprise' inside!"
Dong Ping walked over to Hanyu Rin's side, radiating a sense of dog food.
Compared to the two girls who were at odds with each other and filled the air with danger, Hanyu Rin was safer.
At the very least, there was no worry of being stabbed in the back, nor the concern of the other one turning dark and destroying the world.
Kakashi took the mission log scroll and read through its contents, his eyes turning icy cold.
This mission scroll was a valuable item obtained when Dong Ping and his team infiltrated under the guise of the 'Shell Organization'.
If it weren't for Kakashi's current miserable state, having transformed into 'Kakashi-Saki' and working for him, he would never have taken it out.
It was also to let him further understand the darkness of the Konoha upper echelons.
Although the opponent was already aware of the upper echelons' operations, this was merely to deepen his 'impression' of them.
After such a combo move, Dong Ping truly believed that the opponent would no longer be as devoted to the Konoha upper echelons as in the original plot.
In the original story, the opponent's decision to lie low and do nothing might have been an inevitable choice due to the inability to avenge the Byakugan.
After all, while it seemed that Tan Tsang and Root Division were responsible, the village's upper echelons were not entirely blameless.
It was their indulgence that led to the Byakugan's despair and suicide.
Squeak!
The mission log scroll was crumpled, and Kakashi exuded a formidable killing intent.
This was the real Kakashi, the super genius who overshadowed his Konoha peers.
To be honest, Kakashi was the true genius.
Not only was he proficient in all attributes, but his combat IQ was also exceptionally high, and he had a natural talent for developing ninjutsu. If he had grown up smoothly, he would have started at the Shadow Rank and had the potential to become a powerful Kage.
In the original plot, the Mangekyou Sharingan was an absolute weakening for him, not an enhancement; otherwise, how could he have only been an elite Jonin?
But this time was different. With Dong Ping's intervention, the Mangekyou Sharingan was directly replaced with an ordinary Trigram Sharingan.
As a result, Kakashi's talent was no longer suppressed, and the only limitation was himself.
Now, with the nightmare of killing Rin lifted and the truth of his father's suicide revealed,
Rage!
Infinite anger fueled Kakashi, causing him to emanate a dense killing intent and demonstrate his true power.
However, this state quickly subsided as he turned to Dong Ping and asked,
"How can I make the Konoha upper echelons pay the price?"
His desire for revenge wasn't limited to Tan Tsang; he needed external assistance.
"Just stay in Konoha, but I guarantee I'll give you a chance to get your revenge and make the Konoha upper echelons pay, though it may take some time!"
Dong Ping shook his head.
He indeed had few tasks for the opponent, only activating this chess piece at critical moments.
"I've already waited a long time, so I don't mind waiting a little longer!"
Kakashi's tone was gentle, yet it carried an air of determination.
"Deal!"
Dong Ping knew that from this moment on, Kakashi would become like the Sky Terrace of the Heavenly Defense, never to return.
