A small disturbance, under the active restraint of Fourth Raikage, was temporarily eliminated. No one among the small countries above Shinobi World realized that a new round of great power collision was about to break out. Only Five Great Nations has learned something about Kirigakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure. Of course, there is no need to say more about the former. They were all contacted by Iwagakure on their own initiative. It's the ghost who didn't know.
The latter two both have investigation systems all over Shinobi World. Even the weak Sunagakure still has its size and background. Any disturbance in Five Great Nations can still be obtained to a certain extent.
Konoha and Sunagakure have different attitudes. Rasa feels very sorry, while Sarutobi Hiruzen feels relieved. This is also because of their different positions and opinions, just like Dodai and As Fourth Raikage A said, Rasa is still thinking of Northern Fortress who is always thinking about retaking his own ninja village. He definitely hopes to see Iwagakure and Kumogakure go to war, and it must be the kind of anger, preferably a full-scale war.
Only in this way can they Sunagakure have a chance to regain Northern Fortress.
For Sarutobi Hiruzen, what he hopes to see is a peaceful situation for Shinobi World, not only for them Konoha, but also for all major countries to remain calm and restrained., because the location of Land of Fire and Konoha is too special. They are located in the country and Ninja Village in the center of the mainland. In many cases, even if they are not the first party to participate in the war, they can still be easily affected!
At this point, in fact, except for Land of Water and Kirigakure, the other three major countries are also in a similar situation. In the last collision of the three countries, wasn't Sunagakure ready to make a move? As long as the war continues for a while, Rasa will lead the Sunagakure Ninja army directly into the war. Don't think this is childish, but war is something that cannot be measured by common sense.
Konoha is located in the middle ground even more so.
Since Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack in 1948, Konoha has not really enjoyed a period of peace and tranquility for a long time. It took about half a year to relax. Sarutobi Hiruzen really does not want to see another disturbance.
After all, they Konoha already have enough troubles here. Yes, it was the statement about 'Uchiha Obito' jointly issued by Iwagakure and Kirigakure before, after two or three months of struggle and consideration.
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made up his mind to use the technique of 'Impure World Reincarnation' to confirm that this high-level meeting was convened again, and Kakashi Hatake was the only one with the authority to participate.
It can be said that when I heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan.
Forget about Kakashi.
Even Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzō were stunned, but this was indeed the best way to confirm. It was also the first time for Kakashi to know that there was such a forbidden technique in the Ninja Village!
We can only talk about the ability to develop forbidden techniques.
Second Hokage——Tobirama Senju is truly unmatched!
There is such a saying that is not very exaggerated. At least one-third, or even half, of the forbidden spells in Konoha's book Scroll of Seals were filled in by Second Hokage!
Although forbidden arts like Impure World Reincarnation are toying with and blaspheming the souls of the dead, Kakashi really wants to know if his best friend is still alive.
Shimura Danzō and others don't even care.
It is naturally very meaningful to confirm the authenticity of this information.
Then in an underground secret room of Konoha, relying on the cells extracted from Sharingan, Kakashi, as a medium, and using a death row inmate in the prison as a sacrifice, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally took the initiative to use Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.
"Bang!"
The result of this spell's failure is clearly displayed.
It was reflected in the eyes of the five people present.
It can be said that, leaving aside how Konoha F4 is feeling, the Kakashi Hatake children's shoe, known as 50-50, is covering his own scarlet Sharingan, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Even though there was a trace of doubt before, when the facts were placed in front of him, the son of White Fang still found it difficult to restrain the turbulent emotions deep in his heart.
'Obito, is it really you? Is it really because of Lin's death? And it became like that? '
Thinking of the previous Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, especially the tragic death of his own wife Minato-sensei, Kakashi's heart completely collapsed at this moment. He could not accept the fact that the best friend he valued most, the one who was the most sunny and kind, had always aimed at Hokage, and valued his companions extremely much, would fall into darkness so simply.
He became a man who killed his master and rebelled against the village.
Kakashi didn't dare and didn't want to believe it, but the fact was right in front of him. Kakashi's clenched lower lip was bitten due to too much force, and traces of blood oozed out, and the pain was transmitted to the nerves.
Kakashi But he still seemed unaware. What he could feel more clearly was the heartbreaking pain coming from deep in his heart, which seemed to be nerves that had become extremely unstable.
Also at this moment.
Kakashi Sharingan Tomoe in the left pupil also slowly rotated, and the shape of a large triangular windmill loomed at this moment.
These eyes belong to Obito. Originally, a few years ago, when Rin Nohara died, along with the opening of Obito's eyes, he had already advanced to the level of Mangekyō Sharingan, but Kakashi had never noticed it before.
But now, when the mentality is severely impacted.
Emotions that become extremely sensitive and intense.
Let this Sharingan of Kakashi finally show his highest form!
"Is it really Uchiha Obito!?"
"It seems that at least based on this information, Uchiha Clan is not lying!"
Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, Shimura Danzō and others on one side did not notice the strangeness of Kakashi at the first time. They all looked at the failed scene of Impure World Reincarnation in front of them, and each showed a different degree of gloomy expressions.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.
As a performer, he certainly knew that there was no problem with his technique and that all the preparation procedures were correct. In other words, the technique itself was successful, but the result was a failure.
what does that mean.
Sarutobi Hiruzen Couldn't be clearer.
Although it was said before that there is no essential difference in whether the identity of the person behind the scenes is 'Uchiha Obito', but it is more of a self-comfort, because the biggest difference between the two is whether Uchiha Clan lied!
This is very important.
When I think of the past of my village and Uchiha Clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is also really rare to show a hint of regret.
'It seems that I really did something wrong in the past? '
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a very complicated expression on his old face, and his hands that looked extremely withered clenched slightly at this moment.
"Hmph, even if this is confirmed, it doesn't really explain the problem. It's very likely that Uchiha Clan is directing and acting on his own, isn't it? I still have the same opinion as before, it doesn't matter whether Obito is Obito, the most important thing is It's Uchiha Clan itself, as well as the possible alliance between Iwagakure and Kirigakure. The news in the past few days has also confirmed this from the side. Hiruzen Sarutobi, we must prepare for it in advance!"
Danzo said with a cold snort.
This statement does sound very promising at first glance, but there are also things that cannot stand up to scrutiny. For example, Uchiha Clan directed and acted. Not to mention that in the past Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, some of the Uchiha Clan's actions already had a strong sense of disobedience, and there were many unexplainable contradictions.
Now another Uchiha Obito appears.
If Uchiha Clan was really leading all this, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack could not have ended so easily. There were four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan in his family. In addition, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were from a foreign race and could not really understand the power level of the Uchiha Clan, the combination of both eyes would definitely be stronger than a single eye. Even a fool could understand this.
Will Uchiha Clan tolerate Obito's eyes still being on Kakashi?
That's Mangekyō Sharingan!
Therefore, when Danzo spoke about the Uchiha Clan incident this time, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were also the rare ones who did not speak up to agree with Danzo.
"Iwagakure and Kirigakure do need to be vigilant. You are still responsible for that, Danzo. However, how to do it depends on further information. As for other aspects, Danzo, don't act arbitrarily without my order!"
After Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, he also looked at Danzo with burning eyes and said, of course the two major ninja villages must be vigilant when they unite, but judging from the current situation, the two major ninja villages have to deal with it. The enemy seems to be Kumogakure, and they Konoha have no need to take the initiative to get involved, and now it also involves the issue of the Uchiha Clan and Uchiha Obito!
In the past, if it was really determined that it was Uchiha Clan's problem, even if it was difficult, it would still be understandable and acceptable. But now the situation is obviously completely different. Sarutobi Hiruzen must seriously consider the difference, especially Uchiha Obito, who obviously has great malice towards Konohagakure!
Although they are both Uchiha, there are still differences between Uchiha and Uchiha!
Another point that needs to be understood is whether Uchiha Obito is alone or if there is another force behind it!? As Hokage of Konohagakure, Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks this is the most important!
Before this information is truly understood.
Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want to see the situation get into a worse or worse situation.
In addition, Sarutobi Hiruzen also plans to handle the issues of Obito and Kakashi more carefully, even if it involves another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.
Danzo also frowned when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words. As a companion of decades, he still couldn't hear the deep meaning in the words of his close friend. At that moment, he showed a look of dissatisfaction.
Even though this Shadow of Konoha already had his own plan, he still couldn't contain his anger at this moment, especially when it came to Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan. Danzo had no intention of retreating, so he subconsciously blurted out the words.
"Okay, today's affairs must be kept highly confidential and no leaks are allowed. Let's get here first today!"
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly waved his hand to block it. This Third Hokage also looked at Kakashi who was still looking dazed and shocked, and said so in a very solemn and serious tone.
The words that were stuck in my throat couldn't go down or come out.
Danzo's expression became increasingly gloomy.
"Hmph!"
After just snorting coldly, he immediately threw up his sleeves and turned away.
But before he left, he also took a deep look at Kakashi at the side. At this moment, a trace of uncontrollable greed emerged from the depths of his single pupil.
Although this tiny movement was very secretive, even Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu who were very close did not notice it, but it did not escape Sarutobi Hiruzen's sight. Looking at Danzo's leaving back, Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows became more and more frowned.
"Yan, I asked you to contact Sunagakure more quickly. Even if you pay a little more, it doesn't matter. You must win over Sunagakure. It is impossible for Shinobi World to be truly peaceful in the future, and we must make some preparations in advance!"
"Well, don't worry, Hiruzen Sarutobi, I understand!"
Mitokado Homura also nodded very solemnly. As Hokage Advisor, he is also very aware that the current Shinobi World situation is no less tense than during the previous wars. It is not surprising that Fourth Shinobi World War may break out directly one day.
In the previous three-village collision, if Kumogakure couldn't help but be lonely and marched southward, and Sunagakure also participated in the war, it would be properly declared that Fourth Shinobi World War had broken out, but even if the troops were temporarily suspended, It is just maintaining the superficial peace, which can be seen from the small actions of Kumogakure and Iwagakure. Without a real fight, it is impossible for this Shinobi World to truly be at peace.
Therefore, they Konohagakure must also prepare in advance.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building!
"In addition, there is Danzo, Koharu. I'm still worried that he might do something a little outrageous, so I would like you to follow up a little bit. Even if some things are unavoidable, we still have to be as restrained as possible and control the situation to the minimum!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Utatane Koharu on the right, and said so in a very solemn tone. At the end, he deliberately glanced at Kakashi on the side as if he was pointing something.
They didn't see it at first, but later they noticed the changes in Kakashi's pupils. Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu naturally understood the unfinished meaning of Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.
This is indeed not a pointless worry.
But Danzo really has a criminal record.
"Yeah, I know!"
Utatane Koharu also nodded heavily, solemnly Responded.
Followed by.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also left one after another.
"Kakashi."
When only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kakashi were left in this secret room, Third Hokage's slightly low words fell silent again.
"Ah? Yes? Lord Third, I'm very sorry. Please forgive me for being rude."
Kakashi looked as if he had just come back to his senses. The twisted figure, the bitterness and pain on his face, and the extremely obvious confusion in the depths of his pupils all proved that Kakashi was in an extremely messed up heart at this moment.
However, no matter how chaotic his heart is, Kakashi can still clearly realize what kind of situation he needs to face. No matter how cruel this fact is, Kakashi must clearly know that his best friend has become the enemy of the village!
"Since the survival of Obito can be confirmed, the news released by the Uchiha Clan is worthy of belief. Although it is not clear what the reason was in the past, Uchiha Obito is indeed very likely to want to take advantage of you. I hope you can understand this and get back his eyes. He is completely different from your memory. I hope you can understand this. Before Obito's whereabouts are truly determined, you should not leave the village alone in the next period of time. Do you understand?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kakashi, especially the extremely scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan, and said in a deep voice.
When considering the issue of combat power and the relationship between Kakashi and Obito, the safest way is of course to let Kakashi take off his eyes and give them to the village for safekeeping.
This is what Danzo wanted to say before, but was directly interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot let Naruto be cultivated by Danzo, Kakashi has Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even want to ask Danzo to handle it. With Sarutobi Hiruzen's character, he wouldn't let Kakashi take it off. From Sarutobi Hiruzen's perspective, Kakashi was the best among the younger generation in the village and the person he trusted the most.
Not to mention more, Sarutobi Hiruzen in Original Work can let Kakashi lead Sasuke and Naruto, which is proof of Chi Guoguo's trust. You must know that the identities of Naruto and Sasuke are very special and sensitive!
To put it mildly, Sarutobi Hiruzen did have the intention to train Kakashi as the next generation Hokage when he felt that there was a high probability that his two remaining disciples would not be able to inherit Hokage Position and his own son was still far behind.
Kakashi is a character from the Hokage series who has a good foundation and can no longer be pure.
Not to mention that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as dark as Danzo. Even if we really want to consider it from a "dark perspective", Kakashi's age is indeed very suitable to be Sarutobi Hiruzen's successor!
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen has sufficient reason to trust Kakashi. Even if something like Obito happened, this trust will not be shaken at all.
After hearing the words of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Kakashi also twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded silently with a wry smile and responded Responded: "Yes, Lord Third, I understand."
At this moment, he realized that his Sharingan was not Tomoe Sharingan, but Mangekyō Sharingan. How could he not understand the worry in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.
Intertwined sense and emotion.
It also made Kakashi appear on his face with a very tangled and hesitant look. After all these years, Obito has not come to him to take back the eye that should belong to him. It still makes Kakashi feel a little bit fanciful, but the death of Fourth Hokage couple makes this fantasy look so fragile, as if it will be blown to pieces by a breeze at any time.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is also old and has become a spirit. How could he not see what Kakashi was thinking in his heart? Although Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt that the reason why Obito had been there for a few years before his identity was exposed. They have never come to Kakashi to take back their own eyes. It is most likely because they miss their old feelings. But now and then, it is impossible to deduce the present without mentioning the past. Just the reality that Obito's own identity has been completely exposed.
It is very likely to cause him to change his mind.
So no matter what, now Obito has entered the highest sequence in Sarutobi Hiruzen's blacklist!
He doesn't want the outstanding young people he values to go astray.
"Kakashi, you must remember, Uchiha Obito is now a traitor to the village, and even more so, a murderer of teachers. Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack has only been less than four years, Minato, Kushina, and hundreds of companions died because of Uchiha Obito. This is an unchangeable reality. You can no longer have any illusions. This is not a matter for you alone, but involves the safety of the entire village. Do you understand?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely said this to Kakashi in a very stern tone.
Kakashi, who was still considered an immature version during this period, was also excited. His pupils that seemed to have no focus before gradually regained their vitality at this moment. At this moment, reason really overcame emotion and gained the upper hand.
'Yes, Obito is no longer the Obito of the past. '
Kakashi also completely realized at this moment that Obito was no longer his best friend, but his enemy. Even if he did let down Obito first, he still had to bear the unshirkable responsibility for Lin's death.
But Kakashi can accept, or is willing to see, Obito come to him for revenge. In that case, Kakashi is willing to die to atone for his sins!
But now it involves the entire village of Konoha.
Thinking of the dead teacher and his wife, those companions, and the companions who are still alive, especially considering that Naruto and Obito obviously regard the entire Konoha as the object of revenge, then they will definitely continue to attack Konoha in the future, and Naruto, the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
This is something Kakashi cannot accept.
"Yes, Lord Third!"
Different from the previous answer, this time Kakashi took a deep breath, and his pupils showed a firm color again, Responded.
"Yeah!"
Seeing Kakashi finally woke up.
Third Hokage also nodded lightly with a look of relief on his face, which meant that his efforts were not in vain.
Otherwise, Sarutobi Hiruzen really has to consider what Danzo does. The interests and safety of the village must come first after all.
If you can't have both.
Sarutobi Hiruzen must still put the interests of the village first.
'Uchiha Obito, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, the situation will only become more and more complicated! '
Many figures and thoughts flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, and he sighed softly, which was soon replaced by a ray of determination. No matter how difficult the future was, he must protect the village passed down to him by Master First and Second!
