"As for their strength, they are extremely powerful. The ones who fought me used what appeared to be Ice Release, but both their power and range far surpassed ordinary Ice Release. Although it was just a simple exchange, the strength they displayed completely exceeded that of ordinary Kage Level opponents. They are very powerful opponents," Kōki said to the crowd, deliberately putting on a serious expression.
How could he not know who he was fighting?
However, he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only portray the enemy as very powerful and troublesome to deal with, in order to dissuade Konoha from wanting to get to the bottom of things.
Of course, he wasn't lying; Setsugetsu's strength was indeed formidable, and given Konoha's overall strength, only Jiraiya was likely capable of dealing with her.
At the same time, Kōki some regret. He should have destroyed all traces of the battlefield after the initial encounter. Now, he was forced to let Konoha find a clue.
The surrounding ninjas widened their eyes in surprise upon hearing Kōki's words.
" Kōki, are you sure?"
"Are people with that kind of strength really just appearing out of nowhere?"
They must have heard correctly. Kōki actually said that the enemy had strength surpassing that of an ordinary Kage Level. This was no small matter.
While everyone around him was talking about it, Jiraiya noticed something different.
"Wait, Kōki, are you saying that the 'them' you were fighting weren't the same person?"
Jiraiya was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that Kōki had connections with more than one person.
"No, I only fought one person, but behind that person were two companions. Judging from the aura they exuded, they were both quite strong. Moreover, they were wearing matching uniforms, so they should belong to the same organization."
"Belonging to the same organization? When did such a terrifying organization appear in the Shinobi World? Do you know what this organization is called?" A hint of seriousness flashed in Jiraiya's eyes. He was worried about this mysterious organization that had suddenly appeared in front of Kōki.
Such a powerful organization is hidden in the Shinobi World, never revealing its strength, so it's hard to say whether there's some conspiracy involved.
And then there's the prophecy spoken by the Great Toad Sage... could it be...?
The surrounding ninjas also realized the power of the mysterious organization; such an organization was definitely not simple.
"They only referred to themselves as the Light Organization."
" Light Organization?"
Those present looked thoughtful after hearing what Kōki said.
They had never even heard of the Light Organization before.
Is this organization newly formed? Or is it something with grand ambitions, hiding in the shadows and never showing itself?
Little did they know that Kōki's mention of the Light Organization was just something he made up on the spot.
If Jiraiya hadn't asked, he would have needed to discuss with Aizen and the others for a while before they could actually come up with the organization's name.
Aizen probably never imagined that while he was still carefully planning what to name the organization, Kōki, had already decided on the name.
"Alright, now that the organization's name has been confirmed, I will pass this information on to Elder Sarutobi, and have the village send people to monitor this organization's movements. Let's see what their purpose is."
"Next, we'll continue..."
After the strategic meeting ended, Kōki prepared to return to his quarters to rest.
Throughout the journey, the ninjas in the camp continued to look at him with respect, making him quite uncomfortable.
Just as he was about to quicken his pace to leave, a silly shout rang out from behind him, making him stop in his tracks.
" Kōki, you've come to this battlefield too."
A spiky-haired boy wearing goggles and a blue jacket waved excitedly at Kōki. Beside him were a girl with face paint and a silver-haired, expressionless man in a mask.
These three were the three members of Minato Namikaze's team: Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, and Kakashi Hatake. They had also arrived at the Iwagakure battlefield under Minato's leadership.
They were originally planning to go eat, but Obito, true to his Uchiha Clan roots, had incredibly sharp eyes and spotted Kōki heading towards the rest area immediately. He quickly waved to Kōki.
However, his carefree behavior made the already eye-catching Kōki even more attractive.
Fortunately, Kakashi and Rin Nohara were reliable. Knowing that their behavior was impolite, they quickly led Kōki and Obito away from the spot and headed towards a less crowded area.
"Idiot Kakashi, why are you pulling me? Didn't you see me greeting Kōki?" Obito was very unhappy with Kakashi dragging him and scolded Kakashi.
Upon hearing Obito's insults, Kakashi's cold expression instantly crumbled, several "#" marks appearing on his forehead. He roared at Obito, "You idiot! Don't you know your behavior is troubling Kōki? Don't you have any common sense? Are you a fake Uchiha?"
"Huh? You idiot Kakashi, what did you say? How dare you insult the honor of the Uchiha Clan! I'll teach you a lesson!" Hearing Kakashi's curse, Obito so angry he almost jumped out of his skin. He immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight Kakashi.
Kakashi, not to be outdone, immediately joined the fray, engaging Obito in a Obito battle. The scene was incredibly chaotic, leaving Kōki, standing beside them, speechless.
"Is this how they are every day?" Kōki asked Rin Nohara beside him, looking at Obito and Kakashi's love-hate relationship.
Although he knew from the original story that Obito and Kakashi were a pair with a love-hate relationship, he never expected them to fight right in front of him. Didn't they even need to check if anyone else was around?
Upon hearing Kōki's question, Rin Nohara could only give an awkward smile. She had no idea what to say. She wanted to explain, but lacked the confidence. Not wanting to explain seemed like an admission of guilt.
In any case, it was Team Minato that lost face. In the end, all they could do was give Kōki a gentle yet polite smile.
When Kōki saw Rin Nohara, who was just smiling but not saying anything, he immediately nodded in understanding.
It seems that, just as he thought, Kakashi and Obito are indeed locked in a love-hate relationship.
No wonder Obito activated his Mangekyō in a fit of rage after witnessing his best friend tear open the heart of his beloved.
It would be a shame not to use Mangekyō to capture the gay vibe I've been exuding today.
However, Kōki didn't have time to watch the love-hate relationship between Obito and Kakashi; he had other things to do. So, without waiting for Kakashi and Obito to stop on their own, Kōki stopped them.
Suddenly, two saplings appeared beneath Obito and Kakashi's feet, growing into two towering trees before they could react, and then firmly binding the two to the trees.
"Alright, both of you, calm down. I'd like to ask what you need me for?"
Although he claimed to be familiar with Obito and the others, he had only met Obito a few times and had a meal with him once. Their relationship wasn't particularly close; they were merely acquaintances.
Kōki thought that way, but Obito didn't. His kind-hearted nature meant his thought process was different from that of ordinary ninjas.
He thought that since they had only met once and exchanged names, they were friends, and it was only natural for friends to greet each other when they met.
So Obito was tied to the tree, said with a grin, "It's nothing important, we just happened to run into you and wanted to ask if you'd like to have dinner with us."
Upon hearing Obito's words, Kōki's forehead was covered in black lines. He hadn't expected that Obito's personality at this moment would be comparable to Naruto Uzumaki, both being so overly familiar.
Then he checked the time and realized it was indeed lunchtime, so he nodded. Although research was important, he still needed to eat. Therefore, he accepted Obito's invitation.
