A Monstrous Conspiracy Comes to Light?
"No!"
However, what shocked Kakashi even more was yet to come. Uchiha Yoru slowly shook his head with a solemn expression and said, word by word, "At first, I also had that suspicion, but then I gave up on that suspicion."
"Leaving aside the question of whether Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo was truly awakened, Fugaku was more inclined to maintain the status quo than to explore new frontiers. He seemed rigid, but his personality was actually quite hesitant."
When speaking of his clan head, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and sighed with a self-deprecating expression, saying, "Uchiha Fugaku ambitious but lacks wisdom, outwardly fierce but inwardly cowardly, jealous of those he opposes but lacks authority, and internally he is unclear in his division of responsibilities, resulting in inconsistent policies within the clan."
"He's hesitant and indecisive in his actions. He's fine for small matters, but he's incapable of handling big ones." At this moment Uchiha Yoru shook his head and sighed, his face filled with disappointment. "If this person had the guts to manipulate the Nine-Tails, the Uchiha Clan wouldn't be in this state today."
Good heavens, such a comment about his clan leader left Hatake Kakashi extremely embarrassed. In the Shinobi World, the clan leader is the head of the clan, and it's unthinkable for someone to look down on their own clan leader like this.
However, regarding Uchiha Yoru's courage and the evaluation and analysis, although Hatake Kakashi doesn't know if it's true or not, he can't help but admire him. As expected of Yoru, who possesses the demeanor of Hokage, he gives him the feeling of a legendary ninja guiding the Shinobi World with unparalleled heroism.
"Yoru, since he's not the head of the Uchiha Clan, then who is your suspect?"
Hatake Kakashi asked the question that had been bothering him with a solemn expression. There was even a faint killing intent in his heart. The Nine-Tails disaster had caused too many casualties to the village, and his teacher had also perished in this disaster.
"I suspect that the Mangekyou Mangekyo controlling the Nine-Tails is Kagami Uchiha's Sharingan!"
"What!" Under Uchiha Yoru's solemn expression, Hatake Kakashi's usually calm demeanor revealed a rare look of shock; he was moved.
If others were unaware, as a student of the Fourth Hokage and a former member of the Anbu, how could he not know of Kagami Uchiha's existence?
The Second Hokage had six disciples: Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, Torifu Akimichi, Kagami Uchiha.
He was of the same generation and from the same school as the Third Hokage, and he sacrificed himself at a very young age.
Under Hatake Kakashi's shocked gaze, Uchiha Yoru said hoarsely, "Elder Kagami was Shisui's ancestor. I secretly checked the records, and Elder Kagami is the only one who has awakened the Mangekyo in recent decades. Moreover, the cause of Elder Kagami's death has always been a mystery."
Kakashi was so shocked by the news that he swallowed hard, unconsciously touching his left eye, and asked nervously, "Yoru, you mean someone has had Mangekyo transplanted!"
When Hatake Kakashi saw Uchiha Yoru nod, his scalp tingled instantly. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. He felt as if he had fallen into a huge conspiracy, but this was not the end of it.
"Kakashi, there's another piece of information. I don't know if it's true or not, and I can't tell you where I got it from, but I can tell you that the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure in the Land of Water, Karatachi Yagura, has been controlled by the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Boom!
At that moment, Hatake Kakashi's right eye, which was exposed, couldn't help but shrink in pupil. An entire village's shadow had been manipulated? Terrifying! This completely overturned all the conspiracies he knew, and was beyond his imagination.
"Night! What you've said, I!" Hatake Kakashi said in a hoarse voice, shocked. He really couldn't believe that such a terrifying conspiracy had occurred.
"I know you're a bit confused, but there are some secrets I'm afraid I won't have the chance to tell you later." At this moment, Uchiha Yoru was someone who knew a huge secret but was worried that he couldn't protect it, so he chose to pass on this seed.
"Kakashi, I secretly instructed Hizashi Hyuga to use his Byakugan to observe the village's leadership. Our village's leadership is not under control."
Hatake Kakashi was secretly relieved after hearing the news, Uchiha Yoru's words made him turn deathly pale.
"But the Root leader Shimura Danzō the same eyes under his bandages as you!"
One sentence sent chills down Kakashi's spine, making his scalp tingle with tension. "Yoru, you mean Elder Shimura Danzō's eyes are Sharingan!"
When Hatake Kakashi saw Uchiha Yoru nod, his mind went blank for a moment. But as he carefully sorted through the information, he gasped in shock and his face showed horror, because he seemed to have uncovered a terrifying conspiracy.
The village's higher-ups weren't under control, but Elder Shimura Danzō possessed a Sharingan. Did the higher-ups know about it? Whose Sharingan was it? Was it Kagami-senpai's Mangekyou Mangekyo?
If that's the case, then the Nine-Tails was manipulated by the Mangekyo! All of this was to kill the Fourth Hokage; it wasn't just the Third Hokage's conspiracy, but the entire upper echelon's.
After all, the existence of the Fourth Hokage would only gradually cause the original Hokage to lose their power, so they created all of this in order to regain their power.
It's terrifying to think about!
Danzo Shimura, the leader of Root, the dark Root of the Shinobi World, manipulated the Nine-Tails Mangekyo his Shimura Danzō. On the Nine-Tails Night, Root directly mobilized and ordered the Uchiha Clan not to participate, completely preventing any accidents from occurring.
Subsequently, the Fourth Hokage died, and the Third Hokage naturally returned to power. At the same time, the high-ranking officials of the Third Hokage's era all gained real power, once again firmly grasping the power of Konoha in their hands.
The manipulation of the Fourth Mizukage, the Bloody Mist Policy, and the Root are so similar; only the timeline of Kagami Uchiha Mangekyō Sharingan up.
Then, the front lines were ordered to open war, and disobedient forces within the weakened villages, such as Lord Orochimaru's old guard and the Uchiha Clan, were sent to the front lines to be worn down.
No wonder the Mist Ninja surprised everyone in the Shinobi World by insisting on fighting Konoha to the death in the Land of Whirlpools. There were even rumors circulating in the Shinobi World that this could potentially spark the Fourth Great Ninja War.
But no one knew that the skirmishes between Konoha and Mist Ninja were actually a huge conspiracy, manipulated by someone, and could not possibly have triggered Shinobi World War.
"Me! This!" Although Hatake Kakashi would become the Sixth Hokage in the future, he was still very young and inexperienced. This terrifying thought left him momentarily stunned and at a loss for words.
Seeing Kakashi's shock, Uchiha Yoru seemed to have revealed a secret he had kept hidden for a long time. He shook his head and sighed, "Kakashi, this information is kept to yourself. Just as you think, neither of us has the power to get involved in this conspiracy."
"So, if something happens to me, remember this: you are Konoha's last hope. So abandon me! Sell me out to the Third Hokage and his superiors, and keep yourself useful. Perhaps you are Konoha's last hope!"
The circumstances surrounding Uchiha Yoru's last words immediately sent turmoil through Hatake Kakashi's mind. He even suspected that Lord Orochimaru had known about this secret, which was probably why the incident had occurred. Damn it!
What a madman! He's gone to such lengths for power, manipulating the Kage of an entire village. If this goes wrong, if this conspiracy is exposed, Konoha will face condemnation from the entire Shinobi World. He's a complete madman!
Seeing the shock and lingering fear in Kakashi's eyes, he fell silent, but inwardly sighed, "Kakashi, I didn't lie to you."
Shimura Danzō's Sharingan are real. As for whether it's the Mangekyo, I don't know, but it's definitely the Sharingan, and he also has one arm with it.
It's true that the Konoha High Command wasn't controlled, and it's also true that the Nine-Tails was manipulated by the Sharingan. As for the real culprit, was it Uchiha Obito?
Who would believe that? Even if he hadn't died, Obito was only 14 years old on the Nine-Tails Night' death. If you told anyone, no one in the Shinobi World would believe you.
It's also true that the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure was controlled by the Sharingan. Everything he said is true, except he concealed one thing—no, it should be said that he didn't know this. It's because Obito hid it so well that this situation has occurred.
So everything I'm saying is true. I'm not afraid of you investigating; I'm only afraid you won't investigate. The truth is never afraid of being investigated.
"Night! This, I! Let me calm down." Hatake Kakashi, who was known for his composure, was deeply shocked and thrown into disarray for the first time. This conspiracy was simply too terrifying.
However, Uchiha Yoru looked at Kakashi and shook his head with a wry smile, sighing, "Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma has been chosen as Twelve Guardian Shinobi to protect the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."
Seeing Kakashi's shocked expression, after all, he had just mentioned a conspiracy and then brought up this matter, it was obvious that they were connected, otherwise a mere Guardian Ninja wouldn't have moved him.
"Asuma was dispatched to the Daimyo's Mansion at this crucial time. It's not that I want to view all of this as a conspiracy, but reality simply forces me to think this way."
At this point, Uchiha Yoru said in a hoarse voice, "The Daimyo's Mansion has always been wary of Konoha's strength, especially the Third Hokage Sarutobi Clan, who have grown from an ordinary clan to what they are today. Konoha's existence is the Daimyo's strength, but he doesn't want this tool to be in the hands of only one person."
"According to my intelligence, the Daimyo's Mansion is secretly accumulating power, and the village's higher-ups seem to be plotting something in secret."
Was the power of a daimyo weak? He had powerful Samurai loyal to him, as well as mysterious Onmyoji. On the surface, there were temples like the Fire Temple that trained ninjas for the daimyo, and secretly, the Daimyo's Mansion trained its own ninjas.
It can be said that ninja villages only have ninjas, while Daimyo's Mansion are a collection of products from various eras. Perhaps the number is not large, but the quality is definitely considerable, after all, they have a lot of resources, and Daimyo's Mansion govern the economy of the Land of Fire.
A daimyo is equivalent to a feudal lord, while a ninja village is equivalent to the strongest force under the daimyo's control.
In this world, the genes that are ingrained in people's bones mean that ordinary people respect daimyo, and the number of ordinary people far exceeds that of ninjas. Moreover, daimyo also have their own armed forces.
The daimyo is essentially a feudal lord of the Land of Fire, controlling the entire country's economy and ordinary people. In other words, politics are entirely under the daimyo's control, and the daimyo also possesses a considerable military force. While the ninja villages are powerful, their equally powerful forces have terrifying supply consumption, all of which depends on the Daimyo's Mansion.
The ninja village is the strongest military force of the daimyo. Without the daimyo, the ninja village will lose the support of the country, just like an army without the support of the country. In the end, the ninja village will collapse and become Rogue Ninja, seeking new protection.
"Yoru, do you suspect that the higher-ups are planning to overthrow the millennia-old ruling tradition? They're planning to overthrow the Daimyo's rule!" At this moment, Hatake Kakashi was already somewhat at a loss, shocked by Uchiha Yoru's words today, so much so that he didn't know what to do.
"These are just my suspicions, of course, but we'll have to see how things develop in Daimyo Daimyo's Mansion. If unrest occurs!" At this point, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Kakashi, you don't think it's just a coincidence, do you? Asuma arrived in the Daimyo's Mansion, and then Daimyo's Mansion broke out there?"
Kakashi fell silent. Uchiha Yoru couldn't possibly foresee the future; at most, he could only make deductions. For example, his current deduction was that if there was turmoil in the Daimyo's Mansion, it was probably really related to the power behind Asuma. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so peaceful for so many years, but something happened just because Asuma went there.
Isn't the power behind Sarutobi Asuma the Konoha leadership?
Secretly controlling the Fourth Mizukage and trying to incite unrest in the Daimyo's Mansion's territory—what is the village trying to do? They're insane! If the Four Great Ninja Villages attack together, they might have a chance to survive, but if they really attack the Daimyo, then the entire Shinobi World will unite to destroy Konoha.
Even all forces within the Land of Fire would turn against them, and ordinary people in the village, as well as countless ninjas, would fall into division.
Damn it! This is a recipe for destruction.
"Kakashi! These things are buried deep in my heart."
Under Uchiha Yoru's solemn admonition, Hatake Kakashi was already horrified by these conspiracy theories. This wasn't ambition at all; it was clearly a mad descent into destruction.
"Night! What are you planning to do?"
Hatake Kakashi was unaware that he was caught in such a massive conspiracy. In his confusion, he began to search for his leader. For the first time, he, who was usually very decisive, started to panic. It's not surprising, after all, this conspiracy was too big, so big that it could cause the sky to collapse and the earth to crumble.
"Me?" Uchiha Yoru chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I can barely protect myself now. I can only do my best to accumulate strength and unite everyone I can. Perhaps I can stop the village's corruption and madness. The village's ambitions are too great now, so great that it simply doesn't have the strength to match them. Once something goes wrong, all I can think of is endless destruction."
Wearily rubbing his temples, as if utterly powerless against such ambition, Uchiha Yoru revealed all the secrets, fearing that if anything happened to him, these conspiracies would remain unknown.
"Alright, Kakashi, maybe all of this is just an illusion?"
Seeing Hatake Kakashi's somber expression, Uchiha Yoru immediately feigned a relaxed demeanor and laughed, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, stop overthinking. Let's discuss how, before the village changes hands, while I'm still in charge here, we can figure out how to cooperate with the Mist Ninja to make a killing."
"This is probably the last time. After this one round of profiting, we should all stop now. These funds may become the key to our future development and rise."
Uchiha Yoru casually changed the subject, a scene that Hatake Kakashi unable to help but smile wryly. As expected of the person he had chosen, his character far surpassed his own.
