When everything returned to calm, Obito didn't even look at Kakashi who was lying on the ground. He walked straight over his body, hugged Lin who was covered in blood, and murmured to himself, "Is this hell... Lin, I want to... create a world with you again."
At this moment, there was darkness behind Obito, and the remaining Mangekyō was filled with determination. "I want to cut off the cause and effect in this world."
When Minato arrived, only the bloody and unconscious Kakashi was left on the ground. All the corpses of Mist Ninja around were missing. Only some traces on the ground revealed that there had been a fierce battle here.
Minato stepped forward and picked up Kakashi. After confirming that he was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. He could not find any trace of Lin. He suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He pressed one hand on the ground and his powerful perception radiated out.
The feedback I received was empty, lifeless, and without a soul. It was as if the place had been cleansed by something. It was terrifyingly empty.
What happened? Minato clearly felt something unusual and a conspiracy aura. Unfortunately, the clues he had received so far were too limited, and he had no clue at all for a while.
Where did Lin go? Was she taken away? But she was just an ordinary medical ninja in Konoha Village. Who would spend so much energy doing such a thing?
Minato, who couldn't get the result, sighed secretly, picked up Kakashi and disappeared.
When Kakashi woke up from his dream, he was already in Konoha. He sat up from the bed covered in sweat. He turned around and saw two people standing beside the bed, namely Minato and Anyo.
"You're awake, how do you feel?" Minato asked gently.
"Teacher, I'm fine." Kakashi looked at Minato excitedly, and then his eyes immediately dimmed. He looked straight at the hand that penetrated Lin's chest. He felt that the blood on it was right before his eyes. His body was shaking non-stop, and his face was full of fear and uneasiness.
Anyo stepped forward and pressed his head, injected green Chakra into his body and said, "Don't think too much, everything is over. Now that you have returned to the village, take a good rest."
This time Kakashi was different from the past. Facing Anyo's comfort, he felt warm in his heart and nodded. "Thank you."
Minato asked the thing he wanted to know most, "Where is Lin? Why aren't you together?"
Kakashi, who had just calmed down, trembled all over, tears blurred his eyes involuntarily, and said in a difficult voice, "Lin, she... died, died on... my... Chidori."
"What?"
Minato and Anyo shouted at the same time.
After Kakashi finished telling what had happened, Minato's blue eyes were full of sadness, and he sighed, "Kakashi, I can't blame you, Lin, she is too kind."
Anyo clenched her teeth, and her eyes were full of knives. This was a plan against Obito. Lin just suffered an unexpected disaster. Three-Tails was forcibly injected into her body, and Sealing Tag was planted in her heart. can't let himself hurt himself. Madara Uchiha must have figured out the three people's characters thoroughly before using this plan to make Obito his chess piece. It's perfect.
It's just a Three-Tails, so what if it reaches Konoha, Anyo can make it surrender as soon as she opens her eyes, but in Lin's eyes, she can't tolerate leading the enemy to Konoha to cause destruction, so she chooses to die at the hands of Kakashi. Just like what Minato said, Lin is so kind.
Such an angelic girl is gone...
Kakashi, who was mentally exhausted, fell asleep again.
Minato and Anyo walked out of the room.
Minato was the first to ask, "Do you know something? That's why you asked me to look for them in the direction of Kirigakure."
Anyo did not deny it. "No one is here anymore, so what's the use of knowing more?"
When Minato wanted to ask more questions, a Anbu came to the two of them and said, "Lord Hokage wants to see you."
It's finally here, Anyo is not surprised at all. During the Third Shinobi World War period, the promise given by Hiruzen Sarutobi should be fulfilled. I can intervene in the secret experiments openly, just to see what kind of power Senju Clan contains.
Arriving at Hokage Office, Anyo walked in first, while Minato was waiting outside the door.
The two met, and after a second of silence, Sarutobi laughed, "I should have met you a long time ago."
Anyo: "It's not too late now."
Sarutobi's heart sank. The person in front of him was indeed different. Or rather, he was too well hidden before.
"Are you complaining that I gave you such an almost certain death mission?" Sarutobi made it clear.
Anyo was very calm. "As Hokage, you did the right thing, I can understand."
So easy to talk to? Sarutobi glanced at Anyo in surprise, then got to the point and said in a deep voice, "Is it time to tell me the details of Battle of Kikyo Pass? How did Ninja of Konoha outpost and more than 20,000 Allied Forces die?"
"The war is over. It doesn't matter whether the truth is true or not. I'm here just to ask Lord Hokage to fulfill his previous promise."
As you can see from the picture, Anyo's words directly hit Sarutobi's soul.
A trace of anger flashed across Sarutobi's face, and the atmosphere in the room became solemn and fell into a strange calm. After a long time, Sarutobi sighed and said, "Can I believe you?"
"Compared to words, actions speak volumes. Facing more than 20,000 Allied Forces, the fact that I did not give up on the mission is the best proof."
"Do you still remember the reply you gave me?" Sarutobi had a wrinkled Scroll in his hand. It seems that this Scroll should be taken out and read by him from time to time.
Anyo laughed dumbly and said, "I'm under a lot of pressure. Just write a few sentences to show off your temper. Lord Hokage probably won't take it to heart."
Sarutobi didn't expect Anyo to give such an answer. He froze for a moment. Now he couldn't understand Anyo at all. He didn't even know which of his words were true and which of them was false, let alone what kind of methods he hid behind his back.
After silently putting Scroll in the drawer, Sarutobi took out the appointment that had been prepared and handed it to Anyo.
Seeing how cheerful he was, Anyo was surprised and took it over. He opened it and saw that it was Appointment Letter from Anbu Chief.
It seems that Hokage, who has been a Hokage for so long, still has the courage. Anyo put away Appointment Letter. There was not much joy on his face, and he just said plainly, "Can I give the first order about Anbu?"
"Of course." Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and relaxed, with a rather expectant expression on his face. "Tell me about it."
"I want all members of my Anbu team to quit Anbu."
"Why?"
"After fighting for so long, it's time for them to return to normal life."
This is the most reassuring sentence Sarutobi has heard today. It seems that Anyo is not as dark as he imagined, and he still has warmth in his heart.
Sarutobi smiled heartily and said, "Okay, as long as they agree, I have no objection."
