The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"He's no match for Kakashi at all."

"Just a genius who was hyped up because of his Zanpakuto."

"Ringo Ameyuri is the same."

"It's the Zanpakuto that's strong, not them."

"Unlike the geniuses of our Konoha, whose strength lies in themselves."

These words stung Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Die!"

"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!"

Kisame Hoshigaki leaped into the air, his massive chakra gathering in his throat. In the next instant, a torrent of water erupted, engulfing the Konoha ninja opposite him.

A small lake appeared.

"Water Dragon Possession, Slay!"

The pufferfish demon's form appeared.

He directly used the water created by Kisame Hoshigaki's Water Release technique, condensed it into the shape of a sharp blade, and slaughtered the Konoha ninja.

In an instant, dozens of people fell to the ground.

"Wind escape, vacuum jade!"

Danzo appeared just in time and forced the pufferfish demon to retreat.

"Kisame, let's go."

The pufferfish demon noticed that Kisame Hoshigaki had reached his limit, so he quickly reached out, grabbed Kisame by the back of his neck, and with a flash, the two of them retreated at an extremely fast speed.

Danzo watched the departing pufferfish demon and Kisame Hoshigaki with a flickering gaze.

But they didn't pursue it.

A gaze fell upon Danzo.

Much later, Kakashi found Danzo alone.

"Lord Danzo."

"Kakashi, what's the matter?"

"Lord Danzo, I would like to ask, was the operation of sealing the Three-Tails into Rin's body and sending her to Konoha really arranged by Konoha?"

Kakashi looked up at Danzo.

"Was this really a scheme used by Konoha to obtain the Three-Tails?"

"Was it our stupidity that caused the village's plan to fail?"

To be honest, Danzo had wondered before whether this was Konoha's plan.

From Kirigakure's perspective, such an arrangement is unreasonable.

However, Danzo thought about it and realized it was impossible.

Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's personality, he would never do such a thing.

Within Konoha, only he himself would make such a plan.

Danzo knew very well that he had not made such a plan.

Danzo originally wanted to deny it outright.

However, when Danzo looked at Kakashi, a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Danzo had seen Kakashi's talent and abilities.

Danzo tried more than once to get Kakashi to join his Root and become his subordinate.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi just wouldn't agree.

He dismissed Danzo with the simple statement, "I am the Hokage."

"If Kakashi were to fall into even deeper darkness, would Hiruzen still be able to control him? At that point, Kakashi would become one of my most valuable pawns."

“I have a hundred ways to control a Kakashi who has fallen into darkness.”

However, Danzo did not admit it.

"I don't know anything about this."

"Kakashi, did you hear those rumors spread by the Hidden Mist ninja?"

Kakashi nodded.

"Yes."

Danzo said, "I've heard those rumors too. What they say isn't entirely unreasonable. But it's not impossible that the Third Mizukage really was that stupid."

Kakashi fell silent.

"Kakashi, is there anything else?"

"No."

"Then let's go down."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

But what neither of them noticed was...

Not far away, a vortex was slowly rotating.

A figure appeared.

Obito Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's said that Konoha used Uchiha genjutsu to influence the Third Mizukage, which led to what happened to Rin. Konoha was the mastermind, and Kirigakure was just a victim. The fools were Rin and Kakashi."

"If I hadn't used genjutsu on those three Mizukage, I might have actually believed that story."

"But even my Mangekyou Sharingan-level genjutsu is ineffective against the Third Mizukage. Who in Konoha has genjutsu that surpasses mine? Impossible, there isn't a single one."

"I think to myself with confidence."

"This only proves that the Third Mizukage and Kirigakure are truly both stupid and wicked."

Obito Uchiha withdrew his gaze.

"However, I didn't expect that the Taketori Neko would choose to attack Kisame Hoshigaki and steal Kiriichimonji."

"Could it be that the Kaguya Neko (Tankori Neko) has really betrayed Kirigakure?"

Obito Uchiha was unaware that the ninja swords forged by Osamu Uehara varied in quality.

In Obito Uchiha's view, Kirito's words were of great significance.

Kisame Hoshigaki is the number one young person in Kirigakure.

Kiri Ichimonji is the first Zanpakuto of Kirigakure.

Obito Uchiha felt that if he were the Kaguya-no-Kage and still had feelings for Kirigakure, he would never attack Kirito Ichimonji, even if he wanted to gain people's trust.

Instead, they would choose other Zanpakuto.

That way, the negative impact on Kirigakure wouldn't be so great.

"Looking at it this way, we can give Taketori Neko a little more trust."

"However, that's a matter for later."

"Now I'm here for something more important: to take back the eye that belongs to me."

"The Third Mizukage's attack had a great impact on my eye power."

"I must get that eye back in order to better carry out the next plan."

Kakashi sensed something unusual and instinctively turned around.

"who?"

However, it's too late.

Obito Uchiha's attack had already landed.

Kakashi was completely suppressed and couldn't even see Obito Uchiha's appearance clearly.

"Pfft!"

With a single, effortless movement, Obito Uchiha removed Kakashi's Sharingan from its socket.

With a casual strike, he knocked Kakashi down.

Kakashi groaned and passed out.

Obito Uchiha looked at Kakashi, his feelings slightly complicated.

"The genius Kakashi was defeated by me so easily."

"So weak!"

Chapter 151 Danzo was definitely killed by the Uchiha.

"However, the main reason is probably that I've become too strong."

"Ninjas, how boring."

"I used to work incredibly hard to become stronger and better."

"Target Kakashi."

"But now, I have gained strength far exceeding Kakashi's."

"But I lost Lin."

"This kind of world is really boring."

Obito Uchiha became somewhat disheartened.

He sat down on the spot, not far in front of the fallen Kakashi, looked up at the sky, and drifted off into thought.
