Is this really true?!
Jiraiya, looked at Haruma with a serious and puzzled expression.
If the news is true, then why did you so easily leak it to Konoha?
Moreover, it was a top-secret mission involving infiltrating spies.
" Haruma Boy is currently an elder of the Uchiha Clan and a high-ranking member of Kirigakure."
Mikoto began her introduction.
Elders? High-ranking officials?
Naruto stared at Haruma in astonishment. They were about the same age, yet Qing Tian was not only stronger but also held such a high position!
Kakashi and Jiraiya remained relatively calm, after all, Zabuza's attitude towards this person had already revealed a lot of information.
" Haruma..."
Jiraiya looked at the leisurely young man and asked directly, "Why did you voluntarily tell Konoha such a secret?"
"You were the ones who asked the question, and then you didn't believe my answer."
"Besides..."
Haruma casually toyed with the teacup in his hand and said, " Kirigakure is a loyal ally of Konoha."
Not to mention Jiraiya and Kakashi, even the usually thick-skinned Naruto didn't believe this lame reason.
The village's S-level secret mission isn't something we can just casually tell outsiders.
"First, the Kirigakure squad joined Akatsuki and infiltrated your Konoha. Then, just as they were about to arrive in Kirigakure, they were attacked by the Akatsuki."
Haruma raised her eyes and said seriously, "It was precisely because of the friendly relationship between Kirigakure and Konoha that, after I argued with the Mizukage, he agreed to let me tell the truth to avoid unnecessary suspicion and misunderstanding."
"I'm not sure if Akatsuki is the leader of Obito."
"But Obito Uchiha indeed still alive, and he is a member of the Akatsuki."
Facing the suspicious looks from the group, Haruma calmly sipped her hot tea and continued, " Obito Uchiha disappeared during the Fourth Shinobi World War."
More than ten years have passed since the Uchiha Clan left Konoha.
"So you don't need to have too many doubts about his relationship with the Uchiha Clan."
Jiraiya frowned, his gaze towards Haruma growing even more serious.
This was because they had guessed his suspicions and explained the reason in advance.
"Then how did you confirm that Obito was alive and still act as an Akatsuki member?"
Jiraiya asked with a serious expression.
Is this a trap?
Haruma Asahi Jiraiya an innocent smile, "It wasn't me, but information from our village and clan has been confirmed."
"Itachi has seen Obito in person and even fought him."
Kakashi's expression was complicated, and he quickly stepped forward to ask, "You mean, the information about Obito was personally relayed back by Itachi?!"
"That's right."
Haruma nodded and chuckled, " Uchiha Itachi's defection was a spy mission assigned by the Third Hokage."
Before Jiraiya ask, Haruma continued, "Besides the Third, the only others who know this secret are two advisors from Konoha and our clan leader."
Seeing the questioning look in Kakashi's eyes, Jiraiya shook his head. "I haven't heard Tsunade mention that."
Haruma shrugged. "Then you can go back and ask your advisor. If the clan leader weren't Itachi's father, I doubt he would even know this secret."
Jiraiya lowered his head in thought. If Itachi really was a spy sent by the Third Hokage... then this brat's words might not necessarily be a lie.
At least according to Jiraiya's analysis of the story told by Haruma, there were no logical flaws.
After a while
Jiraiya and asked, " Zabuza, Sasuke, and the others? If they all join Akatsuki, won't that arouse Obito's suspicion?"
Whether you have doubts or not, it doesn't really matter.
Haruma chuckled and replied, "Within the Akatsuki, as long as you complete the mission assigned by the leader, even if you are a spy from another country, they won't act rashly as long as you don't expose yourself."
"Just like Itachi, Obito never trusted him from the day he joined."
"And then there's Orochimaru, who joined us back then. First, he coveted the Rinnegan against Pain, and then he set his sights on Itachi's Mangekyou Mangekyō."
"Even someone as talented as that wasn't actively dismissed by Akatsuki; in the end, Orochimaru was the one who voluntarily defected from Akatsuki."
"Right now, they're just a few Kirigakure missing-nin from Kirigakure; their addition won't attract Obito's excessive attention."
As he spoke, Haruma Tian gave the group a sympathetic look, "Didn't you see those kids were sent to Konoha on a mission as soon as they joined?"
"I heard they haven't made a move yet; they're just watching from the sidelines."
Jiraiya's face darkened. Konoha's history of being brutally beaten by the founder and extorted for protection money was somewhat shameful.
To further enhance the story's realism, Haruma added, "Not only Itachi, but there was also a spy sent by Kirigakure within the Akatsuki."
"It was this spy who helped invite Zabuza and the others to join."
"If you still don't believe me, I can have this person come back and explain things to you in person."
Seeing Haruma's confident expression, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the others fell silent.
If the level of trust in his words before he even entered the room was one point...
The credibility of the evidence presented in succession has already risen to seven or eight out of ten.
Whether it's returning to Konoha to verify Itachi's information with the two advisors, or having him bring out the spies sent by Kirigakure to Akatsuki for a face-to-face confrontation.
This person has so blatantly laid bare this lie, which is extremely easy to expose, suggesting that it is very likely true!
Seeing the others deep in thought, Haruma remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was secretly amused.
No matter how they try to verify it, the only answer they can come up with is that I made it up!
Who told those key witnesses to all be on our side?
The heat dissipated, and the warm tea gradually cooled.
It wasn't until Mikoto got up to make tea that Jiraiya and Kakashi, who were deep in thought, were awakened.
After much thought, the two still couldn't find any flaws in Haruma's statement.
Obito disappeared during the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Konoha relocated...
It was indeed related to the special treatment given to them by the Third Hokage and the village's higher-ups, a fact both of them were well aware of.
Furthermore, the Uchiha Clan did not harm Konoha or any of the village's ninjas when they withdrew.
For various reasons, the credibility of Haruma's words has only increased.
Looking at Haruma, who was drinking hot tea again, Kakashi pondered for a moment and asked about the Sharingan and the stinging sensation in his left eye that had occurred on the bridge.
Kakashi was already somewhat shaken by the news that Obito was still alive...
The stinging sensation in his left eye, did it mean that Obito was still watching him closely...?
"Oh~"
Haruma's eyes lit up; evidence delivered right to her doorstep?
Under the watchful eyes of Kakashi and the others, Haruma's black pupils slowly transformed into crimson Mitsudomoe.
Just when the group thought that Haruma was about to explain the unique connection between the Sharingan Kekkei Genkai and the Sharingan,
An unexpected and terrifying situation has occurred!
"Pfft!"
Then, Haruma simply ripped her left eye out of its socket!
