"Danzo?! He's here too!"
Guy's expression darkened.
The man was notorious for stirring up trouble.
His presence here wasn't necessarily a good thing.
The four entered the room and paid their respects. Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi approached them warmly.
His gaze swept over all four.
It lingered a moment longer on Obito and Rin in particular.

The three looked considerably more relieved.
Being forced to become a jinchuriki was something even Kakashi felt uncertain about.

Guy turned toward him and said calmly, "That's exactly what happened."
Danzo looked contemptuous.
"You two? What
