"Is that so."
Inside the Hokage Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō both wore rather grim expressions.
Beside them, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were also frowning deeply. Below them stood Hidezawa and the others, along with Fugaku Uchiha!
In front of everyone, Hidezawa laid out a series of "reasonable deductions," seemingly conclusively establishing Obito Uchiha's guilt.
Moreover, this information involved classified matters. Even if Fugaku Uchiha had not wanted to come, he had no choice but to do so.
Yet after Hidezawa recounted his speculations and analysis once more, each of the "Four Elders of Konohagakure" felt their scalps tingle.
Among them, what they found most unbelievable was Hidezawa's judgment regarding the Sharingan.
As Konohagakure's higher-ups and disciples of the Second Hokage, they had naturally read their teacher's records after gaining real authority within Konohagakure.
Hidezawa might have been an Anbu—and one who had come from Root, at that—but neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor Shimura Danzō had given him any materials on that subject!
"This kid made such an accurate judgment from just two different examples?"
The precision of his judgment was one thing, but based on those conclusions, Hidezawa had even extrapolated Obito Uchiha's current location?
Was that kind of analytical and deductive ability not a little too outrageous?
"Can you be certain?"
Perhaps the silence had gone on for too long and become somewhat inappropriate. After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not help but ask.
"Lord Hokage, this is only a conjecture."
Hidezawa immediately shook his head. He could be one hundred percent certain—working backward from the answer, he could not possibly be too far off.
But he was not stupid. How could he possibly admit something like that?
"However, I believe there should not be much of a problem. I imagine we have all read Obito's records.
