Nothing could go to waste.
Akihara Kagura lived frugally.
Even before Obito Uchiha left, he had to use a Wood Style Ninjutsu to clear Kagura of suspicion for killing Aburame Ryoma in front of Kakashi Hatake.
Obito Uchiha had not considered any of that.
At that moment, he only wanted to leave Konoha as quickly as possible.

As a genius ninja who had taken part in war since childhood, Kakashi Hatake's Shurikenjutsu had long since
