Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 56 Minato's Shadow, Wanted: Obito! (Please continue reading)

"is that so."

Inside the Hokage's office, both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura had somewhat gloomy expressions.

Beside them, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado also had their brows furrowed. Below them were Hidezawa and the others, as well as Fugaku Uchiha!

In front of everyone, Xiuze made a series of "reasonable deductions," seemingly confirming Obito Uchiha's guilt.

Furthermore, this information was classified, so even if Fugaku Uchiha didn't want to come, he had no choice but to come.

However, after Xiuzawa reiterated his speculations and analysis, the "Four Giants of Konoha" all felt a chill run down their spines.

What surprised them the most was Xiuze's assessment of the Sharingan.

As high-ranking officials in Konoha and disciples of the Second Hokage, they naturally reviewed their teacher's information after gaining real power in Konoha.

Although Hidezawa was an ANBU member, and even came from Root, neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor Danzo Shimura provided him with any information on this matter!

"This kid made such an accurate judgment based on just two different examples?"

Accurate judgment is one aspect, but Xiuze also used these judgments to extrapolate and even guessed Obito Uchiha's current location.

Isn't this level of analytical and judgment ability a bit too outrageous?

"Are you sure?"

Perhaps it was inappropriate to remain silent for too long, so after a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Hokage, this is just a guess."

Upon hearing this, Xiuze shook his head immediately. He was absolutely certain that he could deduce the answer backwards without being too far off.

But he's not stupid; how could he possibly admit to something like that?

"But I don't think there should be a big problem. I think we've all seen Obito's information. Although he wasn't very smart when he was young, he was indeed a kind person."

Moreover, he has a very deep bond with Kakashi and Rin Nohara, but when such a bond is broken, the shock he will suffer will probably be unimaginable.

He has even completely broken down; he can probably no longer be considered the original Uchiha Obito.

Danzo nodded in agreement, glancing at the silent Uchiha Fugaku before speaking with a cold smile.

"Hmph, the more innocent a person's heart, the faster they will fall into depravity and collapse once they encounter stimulation, and the darker and more extreme they will become, especially..."

"Cough cough cough, okay, that's enough!"

Before Danzo could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately interrupted him with a tactical cough, while also glaring at him fiercely.

You can't just say things like that, especially in front of the Uchiha. Do you think things aren't chaotic enough already?

Are you hoping the Uchiha will betray you right now?

"It seems that Xiuze's judgment is highly likely."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, too lazy to waste any more words with Danzo, changed the subject.

"No matter who it is, once hatred and resentment arise, they may do things they shouldn't."

"We should contact Kirigakure and see if we can get any information from them."

Mitomon Yan also spoke up immediately. He knew what his two old friends were thinking, but he could also smooth things over.

"However, Kirigakure seems to be in a state of chaos right now, and it's difficult for any concrete information to leak out of the Land of Water."

"Indeed, but my subordinates have given some brief reports."

Danzo was shameless enough that he didn't care about Hiruzen Sarutobi's dissatisfaction at all, and he did indeed have some information.

"It seems they're continuing the Blood Mist policy over there, and it's showing signs of expanding, but unfortunately, no more detailed information has been released yet."

"This policy is still in effect?"

Xiaochun, who hadn't spoken until now, was a little surprised and shook her head.

"Although it can greatly improve a ninja's skills, this method is too cruel."

Undeniably, the ninjas of Kirigakure have always been of very high quality, but the price they paid to cultivate such quality is unimaginable.

Only one or two students in a class can graduate, and the price of graduation is to defeat everyone, even kill them all!

The cruelty involved is truly unbelievable.

"It seems we need to investigate the situation in Kirigakure more thoroughly."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, but he also had a bit of a headache.

The Hidden Mist Village has completely shut itself off, making it incredibly difficult to obtain information from them, especially since the Hidden Mist Village is already somewhat insane.

During the Third World War, their actions in the Land of Whirlpools only showed that they still looked like humans, but in reality, they were no different from wild beasts.

Conducting an investigation in such a closed and chaotic place is extremely difficult.

But now that things have come to this, Obito Uchiha and his group cannot let it go no matter what, and they must follow up no matter how difficult it is!

"First, issue a full-scale manhunt for Uchiha Obito in the Land of Fire and the surrounding areas, so that he thinks our eyes are on this side, making it easier for us to slowly infiltrate Kirigakure."

With this in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze hardened considerably as he looked at Fugaku Uchiha.

"Clan Chief Fugaku, I hope you can cooperate more during this period. This is not only a matter for Konoha, but also for the Uchiha clan. I'm counting on you."

"The Uchiha will definitely cooperate fully."

The latest novel is first published here!

Fugaku Uchiha did not refuse, because he knew he had no possibility of refusing.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi said, this is a matter for Konoha, and also a matter for the Uchiha!

However, his gaze also subtly drifted towards Xiuze. Not only him, but also the "Four Giants of Konoha" present couldn't help but glance at him out of the corner of their eyes.

This kid not only has fighting talent similar to Minato Namikaze, but his thinking and analytical abilities also bear a resemblance to Minato Namikaze.

"Kakashi-senpai, are you alright?"

Having left the Hokage Building, Hidezawa and his group had temporarily completed their mission.

The current situation is probably not relevant to them for the time being; they will have to wait for progress from Kirigakure before they can mobilize again.

At the very least, they need to be able to go in with peace of mind and have a way out to run back to Konoha.

Of course, there's not much to worry about with Hidetsawa possessing the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he would absolutely not be willing to face Obito alone!

He was in an exceptionally good mood right now. Obito tricked him, and he just retaliated by pulling off Obito's underwear.

If you keep swindling and cheating, I'll make sure you have nothing left!

However, while Shuzawa was in a good mood, Kakashi seemed unusually silent, and Shuzawa couldn't help but ask him a question.

"Sigh, I never expected things to turn out this way."

Kakashi gave a wry smile, touched his covered eye, and sighed.

"But I still feel that this matter needs further investigation and a more thorough understanding. Don't worry, I'm a Konoha ninja; I know what I should do!"

After saying that, Kakashi said no more, but an idea in his heart became more and more firm.

"Obito, you were the one who saved me back then, now it's my turn, and I'm going to save you no matter what!"

Watching Kakashi's retreating figure, Shisui sighed. Tenzo didn't know what to say either, as he knew a little about Kakashi's inner thoughts.

It was Kakashi who influenced him, which led him to refute Danzo and ultimately leave Root.

"Kakashi-senpai, is he alright?"

Yugao couldn't help but ask in a low voice, while Xiuzhe was speechless. That bastard Obito was really messing with people's minds!

Just then, Xiuze's panel suddenly refreshed, and his eyes lit up instantly when he saw the interface!

"But there's no denying that Obito was a really good person."
