This time, Red Bean's pregnancy brought Kobayakawa Kazuma a 0.6-calorie upper limit on his chakra amount, as well as a slight increase in his ninja qualifications.
Now, Kazuma Kobayakawa's ninja qualifications are close to A-level, and his qualifications are extremely close to those of the three ninjas of Konoha.
In addition, he has three bloodline limits: Crystal Release, Sharingan and Byakugan. In terms of actual combat ability, he far exceeds Kakashi Hatake, who is known as the copy ninja.
If the current Kobayakawa Kazuma were to face Uchiha Mikoto, he would be quite confident that he could subdue her.
Moreover, this is far from the upper limit of Kobayakawa Kazuma. By the time the babies of Akatsuki, Tsunade and Red Bean are born, he will be confident that he can reach A-level qualifications.
When the ninja qualification reaches A-level, and he masters the S-level Flying Thunder God Technique, or develops the Rasengan, Kobayakawa Kazuma will master two S-level ninjutsu at the same time. By then, even if he confronts Yagura head-on, he will have considerable confidence.
In the past few years since coming to Konoha, Kazuma Kobayakawa has always been pushing himself to become stronger and has never given up easily.
After the successful sowing, Kobayakawa Kazuma gained a new disciple named Mitarashi Anko. After becoming the disciple, the first thing Kobayakawa Kazuma did was to rest and take care of the baby.
After that, Kazuma Kobayakawa would meet with Mitarai Anko from time to time. After instructing Anko to take good care of her pregnancy, he began to teach her some of the ninjutsu he knew.
On this day, Kobayakawa Ichi was practicing the Shadow Clone Technique in the embassy when the Chunin Kazuki suddenly appeared in front of him with a letter in his hand.
Kazuma Kobayakawa opened the letter, and the handwriting of Hoshigaki Kisame appeared before his eyes.
After reading the contents of the letter, Kobayakawa Kazuma couldn't help but frown. The Uchiha clan's coup was about to begin.
Two months later, the Uchiha clan guards will gather all their strength and march from the Uchiha clan territory to the Hokage building. At that time, Hoshigaki Kisame will also lead the Kirigakure people to attack Konoha Village, and their destination will also be the Hokage building.
As for Kazuma Kobayakawa, his mission was to meet up with Hoshigaki Kisame a week before the coup, and then, using his familiarity with Konoha, secretly help Kisame and his men deal with Konoha's Anbu without revealing his identity.
After reading the letter, Kazuma Kobayakawa burned the paper. He was quite upset.
Time waits for no one. Now, he can no longer wait for the birth of his three children, nor can he wait for the day when he learns S-level ninjutsu. The embassy established by Kirigakure in Konoha is about to lose its due function.
Once the war begins, the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure will once again drop to freezing point.
However, Kobayakawa Kazuma still had a little bit of luck, and he began to look forward to the extermination of the Uchiha clan. Once the Uchiha clan was exterminated in advance, his and Hoshigaki Kisame's mission would lose its meaning, and it would have to end in failure.
In the afternoon, Kobayakawa Kazuma asked Tsunade to come and gamble. Looking at Tsunade's slightly bulging belly, Kobayakawa Kazuma felt much more relaxed.
It seems that Danzo's Kotoamatsukami still works. This time, Tsunade did not choose to abort the child.
Kazuma Kobayakawa had high expectations for this child. His ninja aptitude was B+, while Tsunade's ninja aptitude was A. The child born from the union of the two would most likely inherit both of their aptitudes.
The gambling time passed quickly, and Kazuma Kobayakawa and Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, started a big fight in the bedroom. Because of the presence of the child, his movements seemed a little cautious.
As Anko and Tsunade became pregnant and began to take care of the fetus, Kobayakawa Ichima's life returned to normal again. He had neither the time nor the energy to look for female kunoichi anymore.
During this month or so, he mainly focused on practicing ninjutsu, and mainly practicing the Rasengan.
After more than a month of practice, Kazuma Kobayakawa finally improved the completion rate of the Rasengan from 13% to 20%. When the completion rate of this ninjutsu reached 20%, Kobayakawa made new improvements to this ninjutsu that did not require any hand seals.
The instant Rasengan no longer requires more than ten seconds of chakra condensation and compression. The Rasengan can be completed in just a moment of raising the hand, reaching the peak of power and form.
Today, Kazuma Kobayakawa has reached the entry level in the development of the Rasengan. The speed at which he can cast the Rasengan is as easy as that of the fourth generation Minato Namikaze.
Soon, the day arrived to reunite with Hoshigaki Kisame.
During the day, Kazuma Kobayakawa was still handling official business in the embassy, and even reported today's intelligence to the Hidden Mist Village.
When it was completely dark, he summoned the only three remaining Chunins in the embassy.
After tonight, the mission of the Kirigakure Embassy will come to an end, and Kazuma Kobayakawa will escape from Konoha.
"Waki, take your brothers to the mountain east of Konoha Village, hide there and wait for me. You have been defending Konoha for more than ten years, and it's time to return home." Looking at the Chunin kneeling in front of him, Kobayakawa Kazuma made a big promise.
Chapter 96: Escape from Konoha
"Yes!" He Xi's heart was quite excited. With this battle achievement and more than ten years of perseverance in Konoha, they could definitely be easily promoted to special jonin.
By then, the treatment and status in the village will undergo earth-shaking changes. After being away from home for more than ten years, returning to the village now is like returning home in glory.
Whether it is your elderly parents or your wife who has been waiting for you for more than ten years, you can be proud of yourself.
Images kept flashing through Hexi's mind. His memories of his parents and wife were already very vague, and he wondered if they felt the same way about him.
When I go home this time, I must make up for the time I have missed over the years.
"Go ahead and follow the route I've given you. In twenty minutes, I'll set fire to the embassy to attract the attention of the Anbu." Kobayakawa Kazuma gave his final order.
Following Kobayakawa Kazuma's order, the three Chunins sneaked into the night of Konoha.
There are still a few ordinary people left in the embassy. Although these people are from Kirigakure, they have neither the ability to escape from Konoha nor know the secrets of Kirigakure.
Naturally, Kazuma Kobayakawa would not think of taking these people with him to escape. As for how they would be treated if they fell into Konoha's hands, that was not something he could control.
Fire escape. Dragon fire technique!
About twenty minutes later, a fire dragon passed through the living room and archive room of the embassy, as well as the lush cherry tree in the courtyard.
A moment later, calls for firefighting began to spread throughout the embassy and the pond was drained to put out the fire.
Kobayakawa Kazuma had already hidden in the night. He came to a street on the edge of Konoha. After observing the surrounding situation with his Byakugan, he sneaked into the shop at the end of the street.
"Father, for the sake of peace in the village, Hiruzen is going to let me order Itachi to exterminate the clan." Danzo appeared from the darkness and explained the situation of the Uchiha clan to Kobayakawa Kazuma.
Kobayakawa Kazuma was slightly startled. The night of the Uchiha clan's extermination was not far away.
He has little interest in the current Uchiha clan, and has no ability to prevent the Uchiha clan from being exterminated.
Being exterminated was a common choice of both the Uchiha clan and Konoha, and it was also a unanimous decision of the Konoha high-level officials. His adopted son Danzo was just a link in the middle.
Even with Danzo's ability, he could not decide what the Konoha high-level officials thought.
"Just continue with your actions next. Take care, my son." Kazuma Kobayakawa patted Danzo's shoulder and brushed the dust off his collar.
"Take care of yourself too, father!" Danzo knelt on one knee in front of Kobayakawa Kazuma, his old eyes filled with tears.
Kobayakawa Kazuma and Danzo parted ways and continued running in the direction away from Konoha.
With his Byakugan activated, he was able to evade the Anbu's pursuit and easily find an escape route.
A ball of chakra fire suddenly appeared in his sight. Kobayakawa Kazuma frowned, and he sent out a shadow clone to meet Itachi, while his real body suddenly changed its route and ran out of the village.
With the help of the god-level observation ability of the Byakugan, Kazuma Kobayakawa is able to avoid most dangers in advance.
The shadow clone rushed forward and finally met Uchiha Itachi at the intersection out of the village.
"Are you waiting for me? I don't remember having such a relationship with you." The shadow clone stopped in front of Uchiha Itachi, his voice quite cold.
"Kazuma Kobayakawa, are you escaping from Konoha this time to help the Uchiha coup?" Uchiha Itachi asked coldly.
While patrolling tonight, he discovered a fire in the Kirigakure Embassy and concluded that Kobayakawa Kazuma was about to leave Konoha.
Afterwards, he easily guessed Kobayakawa Kazuma's escape route based on the Anbu's shift schedule tonight.
"I don't have such noble sentiments. What does your Uchiha clan and Konoha's family affairs have to do with me, Kobayakawa Kazuma?" Kobayakawa Kazuma spread his hands and said speechlessly.
In the past few years in Konoha, he had already handled everything he was supposed to do, both openly and secretly. To be honest, he didn't really want to do the task of helping the Uchiha with the coup.
After all, this shit is meaningless to him.
"I will stop the Uchiha coup, and your plan of Kirigakure will not succeed." Uchiha Itachi opened his Sharingan. He did not choose to attack Kobayakawa Kazuma, but just whispered: "Take good care of my mother and brother, otherwise, one day in the future, I will kill you."
The illusion unfolded, and the shadow clone's one magatama was not enough to fight against Tsukuyomi. In the world of illusion, the shadow clone repeatedly listened to Itachi's threats and advice.
Of course, it was already late at night when Kobayakawa Kazuma found out about Itachi's words.
All the way to the foot of the mountain far away from Konoha, Kobayakawa Kazuma successfully met up with his three men at the agreed location.
After meeting, the four of them, led by Kazuma Kobayakawa, headed towards the place where Hoshigaki Kisame was stationed.
At daybreak, Kazuma Kobayakawa finally met Hoshigaki Kisame and his companions from the Kirigakure in the depths of the forest.
Because the mission had to be kept secret, these people did not wear Mist Headguards. They had been surviving in the wild for several months without making a fire.
"This is the first time I'm carrying out a mission with you, Kazuma Kobayakawa." Seeing Kazuma Kobayakawa appear with his men, Hoshigaki Kisame shook hands with Kazuma Kobayakawa.
The two have known each other for many years, but they have never had the experience of completing a mission together. Even when they escorted the Uchiha clan to escape a few months ago, it was only Kobayakawa Kazuma's shadow clone that was dispatched.
Kobayakawa Ichima sighed softly and asked, "Mr. Kisame, when the coup d'état comes, will we be able to invade Konoha with just these people?"
He did not feel pity for these ninjas, but simply felt that there was no need to let them die.
No matter what, these people are also Kirigakure ninjas, and can be said to be the backbone of Kirigakure.
The Hidden Mist Village is in urgent need of people right now, and it would not be worth it to let these talented people die because of such a trivial matter.
"Of course! The Uchiha clan will tie down most of Konoha's high-end forces, including the Hokage, and we will go straight into the heart of Konoha to relieve the pressure on the battlefield for the Uchiha clan." Hoshigaki Kisame explained the battle plan in a torrent of words. In his eyes, no matter whether the mission is outrageous or not, carrying out the mission is the ninja's duty.
As for what Kobayakawa Kazuma said, it was contrary to the ninja way of the Kirigakure ninja.
Seeing that he couldn't convince Hoshigaki Kisame, Kobayakawa Kazuma didn't know what to say, so he had to call his three subordinates together.
After living in Konoha for several years, Kobayakawa Kazuma could not bear to watch these ninjas who had always followed him go to their deaths.
Chapter 97 The Betrayed
"When the battle begins, Kirigakure's orders will of course come first. However, it is also necessary to protect yourself appropriately without disobeying orders."
Kazuma Kobayakawa instructed several of his subordinates that these three were not orphans like Tomoko, and they all had relatives in the Hidden Mist Village.
After working hard for Kirigakure for more than ten years, it would be totally unworthy if I ended up dying for this idiotic mission.
Of course, Kobayakawa Kazuma didn't think this mission was necessary because the Uchiha clan, who were the main force in the war, had probably been exterminated before their mission began.
The main force has been wiped out, what’s the point of doing this mission?
The three of them nodded in agreement. Facing this final mission, they did not intend to complete it with all their strength. No matter Konoha or Uchiha, they were both enemies in the eyes of the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village. Whose life or death was important?
Perhaps, the mission of helping the Uchiha clan to launch a coup is for the better development of Kirigakure, but this vague strategic goal does not mean much to individuals.
It’s just that the ninja’s duty is to obey orders, so even if it doesn’t make any sense, they will sacrifice their lives without hesitation.
Kazuma Kobayakawa quietly waited for the order to carry out the mission. He swallowed the Bingliang Pills with cold water to restore his strength and chakra.
Having been used to a good life of luxury in Konoha, he now feels a little uncomfortable returning to the ordinary life of a ninja.
