Naruto: Konoha Silver Wolf - Chapter 28
Kakashi already plans to save Kushina after the Nine-Tails are extracted. It’s a difficult one, but he is determined to carry it out no matter what.
“Everything depends on my strength,” he murmured resolutely. “Thinking about it now is pointless. Improving my skills comes first.”
With a determined look, Kakashi focused on moving quickly. If he couldn’t find Tsunade to solve the issue with his left Sharingan, everything else would be moot.
In the Uchiha clan, a subordinate respectfully informed Uchiha Fugaku, “Clan leader, we have confirmed that Kakashi has left the village.”
“He’s alone, right?” Fugaku’s eyes flashed with a cold glint as he asked.
“Yes, clan leader.”
“Good! You may leave,” Fugaku said with a satisfied laugh, waving the subordinate away.
As the Uchiha member left, Fugaku clapped his hands. Soon, three figures appeared before him.
“The target has left Konoha. Pursue and kill him. Our Uchiha clan’s Sharingan must not fall into the hands of outsiders,” Fugaku ordered coldly, his eyes gleaming with evil intent.
Having been forced to acknowledge Kakashi’s possession of the Sharingan due to the Third Hokage, Minato, and the two advisors, Fugaku was now taking matters into his own hands. He had been monitoring Kakashi closely.
Even though he knew Kakashi had joined the ANBU, he had refrained from acting within Konoha. But now, with Kakashi alone outside the village, Fugaku seized the opportunity to reclaim the Sharingan.
“Yes, clan leader!”
“We will complete the mission!”
“We will not let the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan fall into the hands of outsiders!”
The three members vowed in unison, their eyes filled with determination.
“Good. You are all elite members of the Uchiha clan. Be discreet. We can’t let the higher-ups of Konoha know it was us.”
“Yes, clan leader!”
“Go now, follow Kakashi, and strike when the opportunity arises. Do not fail.”
“Yes, clan leader!”
With a final nod, the three disappeared into the night, leaving Fugaku with a cold smile. “Konoha’s White Fang’s son, you sought your death by taking what you shouldn’t have.”
As Kakashi sped along the path, he quickly sensed he was being followed. His brow furrowed with concern. Not knowing the number or strength of his pursuers, he decided not to confront them.
“There’s a town up ahead—Shakuchido. I’ll go there first.”
Kakashi increased his speed by deciding it was best to lose his pursuers in a crowded area. Within half an hour, he reached the bustling town of Shakuchido.
Not long after Kakashi entered the town, three figures appeared at the gate—Fugaku’s elite sent to reclaim the Sharingan.
They had changed out of their Uchiha clan attire and wore generic ninja outfits, their Konoha headbands absent, making them look like wandering ninjas.
“He noticed us and entered the town. What should we do now?”
“With so many people around, it will be hard to find him.”
The first member frowned, but the leader smirked confidently. “Relax. He can’t escape us if he carries our clan’s Sharingan. We might not find him in the crowd, but we can wait until he leaves.”
“Right. Almost forgot about your Sharingan’s ability to sense others.”
With renewed confidence, the three waited, knowing that Kakashi couldn’t stay hidden for long.
Inside Shakuchido, Kakashi remained vigilant, aware that his pursuers wouldn’t give up easily. He needed to gather information about Tsunade quickly while avoiding a confrontation.
He moved through the bustling streets, blending in with the crowd. He knew he had to stay alert and plan his next move carefully.
