Chapter 9: Kakashi (Part-3)
Bait?
What does a kid like him even know about baiting?
Kan fell silent, he was thinking about the specific feasibility of all this, and at this time Kakashi had put the Minato's Kunai in the hands of Kan
"Sensei said to use it when there is no other way out, then, I will leave Rin to you", Kakashi's voice was calm and silent, "Don't let Rin get hurt, please, I beg you"
Kan just blinks at him unable to process what is going on with Kakashi's head.
"Kakashi! Don't!" Rin cried out hysterically.
"Sorry, Rin, I have to do it... I want to do it", Kakashi looked at Rin calmly, "I may not be able to protect you, but you must live on, this is my last hope"
He ran out just like that
...
"Why did you let him go?", Mikoto asked angrily
"Didn't you hear? He is going to be a bait. This is his choice. He volunteered"
"Are you stupid or am I stupid?" Mikoto Uchiha looked at Kan with a sneer, "We can come up with a plan, but what about Iwa? Don't think Iwa ninja's current strategy is stupid... Bait? Kakashi is just going in on an ambush"
Kan shrugged, "He volunteered"
She stared at him, "Don't forget that he is the personal disciple of Minato"
Kan nodded, "I did not forget it, But I think you are forgetting that I am not responsible for him. Minato won't make me the scapegoat to sacrifice for his student's death like your clan. Besides, I am the lowest rank here, If anything, you are responsible for this"
"Captain, Please save him", This time Rin came to him
"Sigh... Rin. Listen, girl, I know you care about him and all. But please know that making me the leader of this little group does not make me any good. Literally, everyone here is higher level than me. I am just a Genin. A fodder army material"
"..."
"Besides, I am not the type to save anyone by risking my life. I am the type that will kill my comrades if it means to save my life"
"Do you need me to kill you now then? You have only two choices now, one is to be obedient, and the second is to die", Mikoto said soundly
Uchiha Mikoto's tone was sharp and she didn't mean this as a joke at all, even her eyes had turned red unknowingly, and three tomoe rotate slightly in her eyes.
Rin was completely stunned when she saw this scene. This Killing Intent is way too pressurized that alone says a lot about her skills and it is real, this Killing Intent is very real. Mikoto Uchiha will definitely kill him if he says something to annoy her.
What made Rin feel even more incredible is that Kan just rolled his eyes. He is not afraid of this Killing Intent of hers.
"Why should I go in there, risk my life and save him from an obvious ambush, He is arrogant, Fight over his head, Does not think before acting, and obviously won't take orders from anyone else than Minato, Maybe Hokage, but that's it... and more than anything else, I think he wants to die"
"..."
"We do not need such a sole player like him"
Mikoto takes out a map, "According to my scouting, and the information we have. The place with the least amount of people is actually an encirclement. After Kakashi enters, people from other places can support it at full speed", Mikoto started
"So?", Kan looked at the map calmly
"But don't forget, once we choose a place to break through, they can completely support the return, and compared to other places, here, it is even more difficult to conquer. We are just too few", Uchiha said in a cold voice.
"Mikoto san, Aren't you supposed to motivate him to help Kakashi? You are doing the exact opposite", Rin said
Kan keeps looking at the map, "Rin, my girl, You are too young and inexperienced dear"
"Huh?"
That's right, even though Kan looked at the map for a long time and couldn't find any hidden content in her talk, he could think of a lot of things based on the map, and Mikoto's intelligence.
He sighed and looked at her, "There are way too many variables in this. If we follow this, we will be taking a huge risk"
"I know, But risk and rewards come in hand", Mikoto said
Rin was still confused. Looking at her Kan sighed, "Here, Read this map and keep in mind what she told just now"
Rin nodded while staring at the map
"According to this map, this place is quite easy to breakthrough. The normal thing to do is putting more guards in here. But they did not. Why?", Kan asked Rin
"I... don't know", She said
"Iwa is not stupid. Putting so few people in a place that is relatively easy to break through, then it can be said that this is definitely deliberate. It can be said that this is a trap. And this is where Kakashi is going, that's why she knows that this is an ambush. Understand this part?"
Rin nodded
"The situation there is likely that a group of powerful ninjas guarding the nearby areas, and they are ready to support other places at any time, or waiting for the Konoha ninjas who want to sneak up on them, and just crush them with strategy"
"..."
"Under normal circumstances, ninjas may see this situation and they would put a bait as they raid other places. It would be a hasty decision and an example of bad leadership, there is no way to beat this... What she meant before is that we entirely bypass this place", Kan explains
"Bypass this place?"
"Although there is a strong risk, once we succeeded, we will reach the bridge directly", Mikoto joins in the conversation
"But Kakashi is already on his way there", Rin said
"I can help with that", Kan said
Kan is a veteran of wars on the battlefield. What didn't he see in his career? How could he not know what to do?
"But my plan has too many variables; Once we reach there we have to corporate with each other at all cost and under any circumstance. Do not fall behind in your part, Do not rush ahead in your part. Keep the synchronization at all times. And complete your part even with surprises. Don't try to be a hero either. If any one of us fail to do any of the things, we all will be dead under their hand"
Mikoto and Rin nodded
"Now, Here is the plan"
The night is bleak, and three figures of Kan, Mikoto, and Rin are constantly shuttling through the woods one after another...
