Was this some kind of joke?
Even though Obito was still alive and had not returned to Konoha, conduct that already made him a rogue ninja, and even though he wanted to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, in Kakashi's heart, Obito was still the kind ninja he had once been.
Even if Obito's actions now were aimed at destroying the world, that was only because others had deceived him.
But what Jiraiya had just said truly cast Obito into the abyss.
Attacking Konoha, indirectly causing the Fourth's death, and even directly killing the Fourth's wife, Kushina Uzumaki-these were unforgivable crimes!
Whatever their reasons, whoever had done those things could not be forgiven!
Kakashi wanted to help clear Obito of suspicion, because Obito seemingly had absolutely no reason to do any of those things!
But he found that he simply could not...
So he could only look at Su Yu expectantly, hoping to hear him deny it.
But reality was cruel.
Under his dazed, anguished gaze, Su Yu nodded, confirming Jiraiya's conjecture:
"You're right. The person who forcibly broke the Nine-Tails' seal while Kushina Uzumaki was weakened by childbirth, then controlled the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha, was Obito Uchiha."
"Is that so..."
Then Jiraiya fell silent. His expression was as still as water, but anyone could sense his anger.
Kakashi, too, was stunned by this sudden truth. Dazed, he muttered to himself:
"H-how... how could... how could Obito do something like that..."
"Obito... had no reason at all..."
At that moment, Jiraiya suddenly spoke beside him. "People change! Kakashi! What we need to do now is make sure Obito receives the punishment he deserves!"
Those were harsh words, but they also made Jiraiya's anger very clear.
After all, how many people had died in the Nine-Tails Incident!
And
