Wait, Did I Also Become a Sharingan Hero?

"This brat."

Inside the underground base, Madara frowned slightly as he looked at the documents in his hands.

These documents were the information White Zetsu had gathered from Konoha regarding Obito and Haori.

Only by deeply understanding a person's information could one discern the desires within their heart and thereby strike from that angle.

Obito was a simple person—so simple that after merely glancing at this information, Madara had already conceived several different plans.

However, the information on Haori made Madara knit his brows, especially when he recalled the conversation between this brat and Namikaze Minato, which left him feeling dazed.

"Complex mind, highly purposeful in his actions, and he doesn't even have a good relationship with Obito."

Madara murmured in a low voice; to be honest, seeing this, he could basically give up on him.

Yet, behind this information, Madara saw something else.

Haori was meticulous, possessed an extraordinary ability to influence others, and had exceptional logic and execution skills.

A person like this could only be described as excellent, even if his performance in the academy had been as difficult to comment on as Obito's.

But such a person, through acquired change, had already displayed the qualities of an elite ninja, which truly left Madara feeling conflicted.

"However, executing my plan still requires someone with a simple mind, even if it is a bit more troublesome."

After a long while, Madara took a deep breath, but just then, White Zetsu suddenly popped out.

"Lord Madara, something has happened."

"What is it?"

Madara asked with a frown; he did not like being interrupted while thinking, but he was accustomed to White Zetsu's frantic nature.

"Iwagakure has dispatched members of the Explosion Corps to intercept them, and the person you are paying attention to has just set off."

"The Explosion Corps?"

Madara had heard of this unit, but to him, they were nothing more than ants; yet, Haori was about to collide with people from this unit.

"Let's take a look."

Although he was already leaning toward Obito, Madara still decided to watch.

He needed to think carefully about how to position these two.

"Why do I keep feeling like Kakashi is looking at me strangely?"

After resting for about a day, Haori and his team were ready to set off again.

Because the trouble Haori's team had caused behind enemy lines was truly significant, it had led to problems on the Iwagakure front.

This not only allowed Konoha to secure a victory on the main battlefield but also allowed them to take a short break behind enemy lines.

The setbacks on the front line forced them to mobilize more reserve troops to fill the gaps.

Moreover, they were also facing pressure from Kumogakure, and Sunagakure, in particular, seemed to be stirring.

Sunagakure was the culprit who incited the Third Shinobi World War; although they had failed, it did not mean they lacked ambition.

While the battle between Iwagakure and Konoha was in full swing, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa actually appeared with troops to intervene!

Konoha might not have reacted to such a move, as Sunagakure was currently an ally of Konoha, but it definitely left Iwagakure terrified.

Iwagakure now had to face pressure from three sides, which left their ninja numbers stretched thin.

However, they would not let the rats behind their lines go, though with Namikaze Minato present, none of this was a problem.

Yet, they still had more important missions to carry out, and they could not afford to slack off just yet.

But as Haori was preparing on the side, his gaze involuntarily drifted toward Kakashi.

Ever since the day Obito 'died', after he had used a relatively 'rough' but deeply resonant method to counsel Kakashi, he noticed that over the following day, Kakashi's emotions were visibly recovering, but he also noticed that this guy would stare at him in a daze from time to time.

Actually, it wasn't just Kakashi; Nohara Rin was the same.

He felt quite good about Rin doing this, but he felt a bit unnatural when it came to Kakashi.

He knew that sometimes, the best way to deal with girls was to take advantage of the situation right after they had suffered a heartbreak.

Even if it didn't lead to immediate results, it would definitely plant a seed in their hearts.

But Kakashi wasn't in that situation, and besides, he was a guy—he wouldn't be that sentimental, would he?

"Haori-kun, stay safe."

When Haori had finished packing everything, Nohara Rin also came to his side.

"And, thank you. If it weren't for you..."

"Alright, don't say these things."

Haori immediately snapped back to reality and flashed a smile.

"Whether it's you or Kakashi, we are classmates, and even more so, friends."

"Now that we are comrades, I naturally don't want to see my comrades give up on themselves."

If we're really talking about staying safe, I think you and Kakashi are the ones who need to be more careful; your mission is far more dangerous than ours.

If you really want to thank me, just execute your mission well, protect yourselves, and throw us a welcome party when you get back.

"We definitely will."

Nohara Rin also smiled, nodding with the utmost sincerity.

Seeing this, Haori simply reached out and ruffled her hair.

I have to say, Nohara Rin's hair quality was quite good, and she didn't object, though Haori was thinking about one thing in his heart.

If Obito saw this, would he turn red with rage again?

Furthermore, Haori was also thinking about how to prevent that tragic event from happening to Nohara Rin.

As for Uchiha Madara's plan or what kind of person Obito would become, Haori didn't care in the slightest.

Not to mention that Haori knew from the very beginning that the Eye of the Moon Plan was a scam, just the fact that the Sage of Six Paths was still lurking in the ninja world meant he couldn't possibly throw his lot in with Madara.

If he really followed him, he would at best become a tool; it wouldn't just be a case of having no future, it would be a dead end.

"Haori-kun, is everything ready?"

Just as Haori was deep in thought, Namikaze Minato walked over.

"You also know that this mission is extremely important. Although I don't want to be this way, I have to entrust the flank to you."

Namikaze Minato looked very humble and didn't have any of the airs of a jonin.

While speaking, he also took out a kunai and handed it to Haori.

"This is my special kunai, marked with my seal.

Once you encounter danger that is difficult to handle, just inject your chakra into it and I will be able to sense it.

When that happens, I will rush over as quickly as I can."

"I understand."

Haori nodded and then put away Namikaze Minato's kunai.

Although Namikaze Minato was the fastest in the ninja world, he was always late, yet Haori still maintained his trust in him.

After all, being late was better than not coming at all; as long as they could hold out, everything would be fine.

"Stay safe."

Kakashi also walked over at this moment and whispered a sentence to Haori.

"Thanks, you too."

Haori gladly accepted the well-wishes.

However, he was also wondering if Kakashi was treating him like another Obito.

Although his heart was filled with strange feelings, Haori didn't have the energy to think too much about it.

After Namikaze Minato and the others departed, and after watching them leave, he also set off with the well-rested Might Guy and Aoba.

"Haori, what are we going to do next?"

Having had a good rest and recovered his strength, Might Guy was exceptionally excited now.

Not just him, Yamashiro Aoba also appeared somewhat pumped up.

Although Namikaze Minato hadn't explicitly stated it, he had tacitly accepted Haori's claim of an 'end-the-war mission.'

For these two youths, this was an unimaginable honor!

"We will proceed carefully and then observe the situation; Iwagakure won't just let it go at that."

Haori was quite calm; although Iwagakure was stretched thin, there would definitely be no shortage of search parties.

It wouldn't even be a surprise if some powerful ninjas appeared.

Iwagakure was truly going all-in!

"But after this mission, will I also become a 'Sharingan Hero'?"

Just then, such a thought suddenly popped into Haori's mind.

However, Aoba suddenly stopped in his tracks and raised his hand.

Seeing this, Might Guy hurriedly asked: "What is it?"

"There are people ahead of us." Aoba spoke up immediately.

Boom, boom, boom—

Before his voice had even faded, a series of violent explosions suddenly erupted all around them.

The flames produced by the explosions instantly engulfed the three of them.

Newbie here, begging for follows; the current follow count determines everything for a book, and letting a book sit in your library too long can easily kill it.

Thank you, everyone! Onz
