Kamidai was lying in bed, snoring loudly. Suddenly, the door was flung open.
The mechanism in the room was triggered. A large number of Poison Senbon shot towards the doorway, and Kamidai was also awakened from his sleep.
Kamidai was furious and stuffed five sushi into his mouth to vent his rage.
"Damn it! This is too much! I've been trying to help Yekura get through the future crisis, and this is how she treats me? I'm so smart. What if I get stupid after being hit?"
When Kamidai came to his senses, Yekura had already disappeared without a trace.
One night half a month later.
"So boring... By the way, there are TVs in the ninja world, aren't there? It's a shame that Sunagakure Village is so poor that there are no TVs on sale. If there were, I'd definitely make a few Puppets to earn some cash and buy one. It's useless to have money here. There's absolutely no entertainment around here."
Kamidai lay down for a bit and then got up and sat on the chair, starting to tinker with the parts on the table.
"Who's there!"
As the days passed.
Yekura hasn't been back since that day. She must be out on a mission. Otherwise, if Yekura was in the village, she would come to see him every day.
Kamidai had already attached his chakra threads to the Puppet Kannazuki. Kannazuki, which had its eyes closed before, had opened its eyes.
When he clearly saw the person standing at the door, Kamidai immediately removed the chakra threads and put on an obsequious smile.
"Oh, it's Uncle Kuidou. Why have you come?"
...
The Third Kazekage sat across from Kamidai and said seriously, "Kamidai, it's time to make contributions to Sunagakure Village!"
Hearing what the Third Kazekage said, Kamidai's eyelids twitched violently. He immediately realized that something was terribly wrong. The next thing the Third Kazekage was going to say must be extremely troublesome.
Kamidai immediately said, "Uncle Kuidou, I also think it's time to make contributions to Sunagakure Village. I'll work overtime to make Puppets to strengthen the power of the puppet - masters in our village!"
What Kamidai was thinking now was how to fob it off.
However, the Third Kazekage waved his hand and said, "No need. You don't need to make Puppets in the future. I plan to send you to Konoha as an undercover agent!"
Kamidai's head buzzed. It almost fried his brain.
Send him undercover? Undercover for what purpose?
Go to Konoha, find a bridge, and then hole up under it?
After Kamidai came to his senses, he hurriedly stood up and said excitedly, "U-uncle Kuidou, I have no idea how to go undercover. Moreover, I'm so used to my own bed that I can't sleep a wink in a strange place. And I'm not used to the local environment. If I go to Konoha, I'll definitely end up with diarrhea and vomiting. I just can't be an undercover agent. You know, Uncle Kuidou, I'm so weak that even a genin... no, even a ninja - school student can wipe the floor with me. If I go as an undercover agent, won't I just harm the village? No, no, absolutely not!"
The Third Kazekage said in a deep voice, "Kamidai, you can't refuse this time. You're a ninja from Sunagakure Village and my junior. Now Sunagakure Village needs you to be an undercover agent in Konoha, so you have to go. And you don't need to fight. You just need to successfully infiltrate Konoha as an undercover agent."
Kamidai was almost in tears. "No, Uncle Kuidou, I can't do it. I don't even know how to tell lies. I'll be discovered soon if I go undercover. Can you find someone else? Please."
Although Kamidai did have a bit of yearning for Konoha, it was just a little.
Going undercover in Konoha at this time was like seeking death.
Now that Konoha and Kumogakure Village were already in conflict in some areas, how could they possibly allow a stranger to enter Konoha?
Even if he managed to go undercover in Konoha, since the Third Ninja World War hadn't fully broken out yet, once it did, prosperous Konoha would definitely be targeted.
By then, when Konoha was short of manpower, they might just conscript people to the front line. And someone with an unknown identity like him would surely be chosen.
He couldn't go. Absolutely not.
The Third Kazekage suddenly slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Kamidai, do you know what you're saying? As a ninja, you're evading your duty. This can be considered desertion!"
Kamidai said aggrievedly, "But I never wanted to be a ninja in the first place. It was you, Uncle Kuidou, who thrust a genin identity upon me."
A flash of embarrassment crossed the Third Kazekage's face.
He had given Kamidai the genin identity because he saw that Kamidai had great talent in making Puppets and thought he had other talents as well, so he directly gave him the genin status.
Normally, to become a ninja, one had to study at the ninja school for several years and pass the assessment to obtain the ninja identity.
But the Third Kazekage didn't expect that Kamidai only had talent in making Puppets and was lacking in other aspects.
However, this momentary embarrassment quickly disappeared. The Third Kazekage said with a straight face, "This ain't no negotiation. It's an order! Even if you're not a ninja, you're still a part of Sunagakure Village. Moreover, you're of the same clan as me and my junior as the Third Kazekage. So, even if Sunagakure Village needs you to make a sacrifice, you must do so. This is your responsibility!"
Kamidai looked at the Third Kazekage in disbelief. Was he using the greater good to pressure him?
But... they were just relatives. Wasn't this a bit too much?
He had also made contributions to Sunagakure Village. The two Puppets he made, although they were just quickly made, if the puppet - masters could understand the techniques in them, their strength would definitely increase by several levels.
Kamidai still wanted to argue and struggle, but the Third Kazekage didn't give him any chance to argue.
The Third Kazekage said sternly, "I've said it. This is an order. You have no choice. Look, if you really wanna choose, you either go undercover in Konoha or get locked up in the high - security prison for desertion for good!"
Was he going to be asked to fight again?
With a nervous heart, Kamidai got out of bed and sat on the chair in front of the table.
The Third Kazekage stood at the door, with a black look on his face, looking at the Senbon on the ground and asked, "Why do you set up Booby Traps in your own home?"
Kamidai forced a smile and said, "This is just to take precautions. You know, Uncle Kuidou, I'm weak and don't have many skills. I might die accidentally, so I need to be careful. But... why did you come to see me so late at night? Is there something wrong?"
After Yekura gave Kamidai a good slap, she just bolted, leaving Kamidai standing there in a daze for a long time.
The Third Kazekage walked into the room and said to Kamidai, "Get up first. There's something extremely important for you to do this time."
Kamidai's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
He's just a weakling. What important thing could they possibly want him to do? What could it be?
It's no use for Kamidai to be angry. There's absolutely no way he'll go out to take revenge on Yekura.
After Kamidai finished off the remaining sushi, he lay on the bed, crossed his legs, and let his thoughts wander.
