The moment the yellow spiral mask and single Sharingan appeared before everyone, the identity of the mysterious thief who had stolen the Scroll of Seals became obvious.
He was Tobi, the Masked Man who had appeared on the battlefield alongside the man claiming to be Madara Uchiha.
"Hello~!"
He spread his arms, shouted his greeting, then twisted his body around in a bizarre dance.
"Well? Bet you didn't expect me, did you? Surprised? Shocked?"
"Tobi!"
With Gamabunta's help, Jiraiya had also brought Tsunade and Orochimaru outside the village.
"What exactly are you trying to do?! Why did you steal Konoha's Scroll of Seals?"
"Why? For fun, of course! And to give Konoha a warning while I'm at it. Withdraw your remaining troops from the Land of Rain soon, or you'll regret it."
As he spoke, Tetsuya gave Tsunade a meaningful look.
He had already warned them to pull Konoha's people out of the Land of Rain as soon as possible, but some of them had never withdrawn, and Dan Katō was among them.
Judging by the timing, Tsunade's first boyfriend was nearing his death.
As for why he kept reminding them to withdraw, it wasn't because he was overflowing with compassion and wanted to save more people.
He simply wanted to see whether Dan Katō and Tsunade would end up together if Dan returned alive.
If Tsunade became a married woman, would Jiraiya still love her? Or would he love her even more?
Married Tsunade... tsk, tsk, tsk. That sounds like a bonus, hahahaha.
"That Sharingan... you're a member of the Uchiha Clan too, aren't you?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tetsuya as he asked.
"The Uchiha Clan is part of this village too. Why would you do this?! Don't you know your actions will bring criticism down on your clansmen
