Hearing the ninja's report, Minato Namikaze's eyes narrowed slightly.
After a moment's pause, Minato Namikaze made a decision. "Kamiishi Ooyama, disguise yourself as a ninja from Iwagakure. Pretend to take him away. If he refuses to go with you, attack him, but don't kill him."
Kamidai felt his pocket and found nothing but the Scroll containing Kanna.
"If I had known, I would have brought a few Military Rations Pills. I'm starving... Am I considered a captive now or something else? Minato Namikaze seems to have a good attitude. He shouldn't refuse to give me something to eat, right..."
Kamidai was extremely hungry, so he thought about asking Minato Namikaze for food.
"He was calling out 'Is there anyone?' It seems he's looking for someone, so we reported to Lord Minato Namikaze immediately as we dared not act rashly."
...
Inside Minato Namikaze's tent.
Kamiishi Ooyama received the order and left the tent to carry out the mission.
"Lord Minato Namikaze, that captive left the tent, but his behavior is very strange!"
Minato Namikaze immediately asked, "What strange behavior did he exhibit?"
Minato Namikaze said to Kakashi and the other two, "Come with me. Make sure to hide yourselves well!"
"Yes, Teacher Minato Namikaze!"
...
The ninja who had been ordered by Minato Namikaze to observe Kamidai in the dark came to Minato Namikaze's tent.
Kamidai planned to summon a ninja hawk to negotiate with the Third Kazekage to see if he could change his role as an undercover agent.
If he had to be an undercover agent and fight simultaneously, it would be better for Kamidai to go back to Sunagakure.
Moreover, Kamidai didn't know how to make Minato Namikaze trust him so that he could enter Konoha.
The pressure was too great. Kamidai felt that he had lost a lot of hair.
Kamidai doesn't wanna go bald while he's still young.
Just as Kamidai was about to walk a little farther and was halfway there, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
At first, Kamidai thought it was a Konoha ninja who had heard his call and come over.
But when Kamidai saw clearly the person in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank.
This guy in front of him was wearing the Forehead Protector of Iwagakure.
Kamiishi Ooyama had wrapped his face tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Since his mouth was covered by the cloth, Kamiishi Ooyama spoke in a muffled voice. "You're the bloodline ninja that Sunagakure traded to us. Come with me right now."
Kamidai looked at the ninja in front of him in disbelief.
What the hell! Is Iwagakure out of their minds? Sending a ninja to Konoha's camp to find him? They're nuts! Minato Namikaze is right here!
Suddenly, Kamidai looked to the left. "Hey? Lord Minato Namikaze, you're here!"
Kamiishi Ooyama instinctively looked to the left.
However, there was no one there. When Kamiishi Ooyama turned back, Kamidai had already run towards the Konoha camp.
Kakashi, who was hiding in the dark, saw Kamidai running towards the Konoha camp and confirmed, "It seems the teacher was right. There's a good chance his target is our Konoha."
Obito stared blankly and asked, "Huh? Just like that, it's confirmed?"
Kakashi analyzed, "First of all, no one was guarding him. When he left the tent, he called out for our ninja. Now when 'Iwa-nin' come to take him away, instead of leaving with the 'Iwa-nin', he runs towards the Konoha camp.
This shows that he doesn't want to leave and go back to Sunagakure, nor does he want to go to Iwagakure. So his only goal can be Konoha."
Obito guessed, "But... maybe he really turned over a new leaf?"
Kakashi rolled his eyes at Obito, "You're so naive. Turn over a new leaf? Think about it. He was brought back by us just yesterday. How could he turn over a new leaf so quickly? And if it were you, would you, in an unfamiliar place and at the Konoha camp, which doesn't have a good relationship with his village, shout and look for someone like him?"
Obito thought for a while and then shook his head, "No."
Minato Namikaze agreed, "Kakashi's analysis is correct. It seems that this kid's goal is to get close to our Konoha. Next, we'll have to see his strength. According to the memories Peering saw, this kid is a genius."
Kamiishi Ooyama noticed that Kamidai was running towards the Konoha camp and immediately realized that Kamidai wanted to call for backup.
But... isn't it a bit too much for Kamidai, a ninja from Sunagakure, to call on Konoha ninja to deal with him?
[Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall]!"
Kamiishi Ooyama formed hand seals and pressed his hands on the ground, creating an earthen wall that stood in front of Kamidai's path, blocking his way.
[Earth Release: Earth Splitting Palm]!"
Kamiishi Ooyama concentrated his Chakra in his palm and struck the Daichi, causing the Daichi to crack and attacking Kamidai.
However, Kamidai just kept dodging and showed no intention of counter - attacking.
Kamiishi Ooyama kept attacking Kamidai, and Kamidai just kept running.
Since he wasn't familiar with the Konoha camp, as he ran, Kamidai gradually moved away from the Konoha camp and entered a forest.
Kamiishi Ooyama continued to chase Kamidai relentlessly.
Minato Namikaze led Kakashi and the other two to follow and observe the battle.
Obito saw that Kamidai was just blindly dodging and felt confident again, "That's it? Minato Namikaze, you must have made a wrong judgment. That guy only knows how to run. His strength must be very weak!"
Minato Namikaze seriously denied it, "No. Kamiishi Ooyama is an elite Chunin. If he were weak, do you think he could keep running under Kamiishi Ooyama's relentless pursuit?"
Kakashi also looked solemn, "Yes, although his movements are chaotic and he looks panicked, he can always avoid the attacks. But... why doesn't he counter - attack? There's no one around except us. If he wants to hide his strength, there's no need to hide here."
Minato Namikaze stared at Kamidai, who was constantly using the trees as cover to avoid the attacks in the forest, and said, "According to the memories Peering saw, he's very afraid of fighting."
Indeed, Kamidai was really scared now. He didn't dare to risk his life. As long as it was a fight, there would be risks.
So Kamidai tried to escape whenever he could. There was no need to take risks.
But now...
Kamidai was surrounded by several earthen walls and had nowhere to escape.
Shouldn't it be that hard to trust him so soon?
"Forget it. Let's put this Mondai aside for now."
Kamidai shouted outside the tent for quite a while, but no one showed up.
Kamidai frowned deeply. "No way! Something's off. Isn't this the Konoha camp? The guards shouldn't be this slack, right?"
Kamidai was sleeping in the tent, but he woke up in less than half an hour.
Although they might be suspicious of me and worried that I'd spy on the Konoha camp's ninja, so they arranged for me to stay on the edge of the camp. But I was captured here. They should at least assign one or two guard ninja outside my tent as a formality, right?
Is this so disrespectful? Or... have they already accepted me as one of their own, so they didn't make any arrangements?
Kamidai was a bit confused.
Kamidai stood up and stepped out of the tent. "Huh? Why is there nobody here? Where is everyone? The guards are really slacking off!"
