The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

One of her ninjas even went so far as to claim that the information provided by Konoha was false.

This made the previously friendly relationship between the two sides somewhat awkward.

Do you think we need to have a comprehensive and detailed intelligence exchange with Kirigakure?

After Tsunade finished explaining the general situation, she asked seriously, "This matter is quite important. If it's not handled properly, the relationship with Kirigakure might change."

"Since both sides have problems, why not communicate and see if we can find the blind spots? As for the ninjas of Kirigakure, I believe the Mizukage is not stupid."

Hongzhi spoke calmly. He had originally intended to guide the conversation there gradually, but since there was such a coincidence in Kirigakure, it would be a good starting point.

If they're lucky, they might be able to take Kakashi to the place where Obito Uchiha was buried, and perhaps discover the secret passage left by Madara Uchiha, thus directly finding that guy's base.

I wonder if there's any chance of encountering Black Zetsu. I still want to study that dark thing, after all, it's the will of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

In the ninja world, willpower is somewhat related to the soul. If we could study it, we might be able to find a way to remove willpower.

In that case, the soul might be changed as a result.

"Of course, you are the Hokage, so you can take what I'm saying as me talking nonsense."

Just as Tsunade's expression finally softened a bit, Hiroji casually added a comment, then moved to a sunnier spot and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Tsunade's expression turned grim again, but it was good that he was back. The most pressing matter now was the situation in Kirigakure.

Otherwise, if the situation is allowed to continue to escalate, the atmosphere in Konoha might become even more bizarre.

A few hours later, in the same conference room, Mei Terumi looked at Tsunade in front of her and Kakashi, whose expression was somewhat unnatural, and then looked helplessly at the ninja beside her.

This guy was forbidden from leaving the hotel, but who would have thought he'd be idle and talking nonsense inside, ultimately leading to this situation?

When Mei Terumi chose her bodyguard while she was in the hospital, she never imagined that he would turn out to be such a troublemaker.

However, it wasn't a big problem. This guy was just complaining when Konoha ninjas overheard him, and they didn't say anything else.

Otherwise, she would be on the run right now, provided she can successfully escape the pursuit of the Flying Thunder God; otherwise, it would all be for nothing.

"Regarding the details of that battle, you can directly ask the people involved. Of course, for better communication between the two sides, we hope that Kirigakure can share the investigation results of that battle..."

Tsunade spoke calmly, saying that for Konoha and Kirigakure, it was a battle in which both sides suffered heavy losses, but for Kakashi personally, it was a moment of pain and despair.

Fortunately, that incident is now in the past. When Kakashi recalls it now, although it is still painful, he is not as confused as he was back then.

The exchange lasted for a long time, and after all the information was confirmed, something unexpected happened.

The fact that the ninjas from Kirigakure did not die at the hands of Konoha ninjas raises the biggest question: who killed them?

Chapter 293 is in a very suitable position, isn't it?

When Kakashi left the Hokage Building, his head was buzzing. After that incident, he thought that the Konoha ninja had arrived in time to save him.

When they wanted to express their gratitude later, the ninjas who had provided support had all died on the battlefield. If it weren't for the scroll that Lady Tsunade had taken out, which clearly recorded the squad leader's confusion at the time...

This matter remains unsolved. There is no reason for Kirigakure to lie, since the mysterious deaths were all committed by their ninjas.

At that time, he possessed Obito's Sharingan, so bringing him back would have been highly beneficial, making it impossible for Kirigakure to be lying.

So who was the person who dealt with the Hidden Mist Village ninja but then let him go, or did something special happen?

Kakashi was unaware of this. He walked blankly toward the Konoha Cemetery and eventually stood indifferently in front of Rin's grave.

She was the one who noticed the abnormality in his body back then, and when he tried to fight desperately, she crashed directly into his Raikiri.

This is the final result. As for what happened in between, Kirigakure is also in a daze. According to the records, the plan seemed to have suddenly appeared and been implemented.

This led both sides to suspect that someone had deliberately orchestrated all of this, but there were no clues whatsoever.

While Kakashi was still in silence, reminiscing, Koji slowly appeared at the cemetery.

Now that the discussions over there have ended, Kakashi should recall what happened back then. In that case, the simplest evidence left to reveal Obito Uchiha's identity will be presented to everyone.

That way, we can naturally bring up Madara Uchiha's affair, and Konoha and Kirigakure shouldn't make any rash moves.

"Elder?!"

Startled awake, Kakashi stared in astonishment at Hiroji, who appeared not far from him. He was still somewhat bewildered, having no idea why this elder, who had recently had some minor friction with the Hokage, would be here.

Could his comrades or companions also be buried here?

"This spot is perfect!"

Hongzhi continued talking to himself, then walked to a flower bush not far away, where there was absolutely no problem hiding a person.

After entering, Hongzhi squatted down and calmly looked at Kakashi.

"This is?!"

Kakashi didn't know what the elder wanted to do, but he was still a little surprised to see the elder looking at him. What did this mean?

"You squat here and try it."

Hongzhi stepped aside and spoke to Kakashi. Kakashi was taken aback but ultimately did not refuse. Although he was not required to obey the elders' orders in terms of status, this was not a mission, so there seemed to be no problem with just observing.

Kakashi moved to the spot where Hiroji had just been and slowly squatted down. At first, he didn't feel anything was wrong, but when Hiroji stood in front of Rin's tombstone, Kakashi suddenly felt uneasy.

This location is absolutely perfect; it's a masterpiece centered around the tombstone and the elder. But the question is, what's the point?

Could it be that the old man is also an artist?

Kakashi slowly walked out of the bushes, thinking to himself. This was really strange. Could it be that someone was actually squatting there, staring at the tombstone in the center, with nothing better to do?

"The location is perfect, isn't it? When there are people, the center is a person and a tombstone; when there are no people, the center is just a tombstone, or rather, that female ninja named Lin."

Hongzhi spoke casually, then prepared to leave. Kakashi, unless he was an idiot, would definitely follow.

"How did the elder discover that location?"

Although somewhat confused, Kakashi didn't think too much about it at the moment. Could it be that this elder had some special hobby?

"I didn't discover that; it was discovered by a mysterious person. Although there were no signs of intrusion, there were definitely traces of strangers' activities and chakra reactions."

Hongzhi spoke calmly, and then prepared to go to the Uchiha clan's territory. Hongzhi had extracted Obito Uchiha's memories and could clearly know where he had been, so there would naturally be no problem.

Kakashi, who was initially confused, was completely stunned. This was the location where the mysterious person had appeared...

Thinking of this, Kakashi felt his brain freeze. He focused on Rin's tombstone, and he was the only one who came to visit Rin from time to time.

If we continue this line of reasoning, then the mysterious person is very likely to be Obito, who is already dead—no, wait, his body hasn't been found…

"The elder has doubts?!"

Kakashi unconsciously quickened his pace to catch up with Hiroji; he was now somewhat flustered.

Is Obito Uchiha still alive? And is he the culprit behind all the tragedies?

This information made Kakashi instinctively unwilling to believe it; Obito was a gentle and kind Uchiha clansman!

"Make bold assumptions, verify them carefully, do you want to come along?"

Hiroji didn't give the answer right away, letting Kakashi find it step by step, which would have been more interesting.

"Um... okay!"

Kakashi wanted to say something, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to speak. Although he felt that Obito Uchiha couldn't possibly be that kind of person, it seemed that no one else would care about that spot except him!

The Uchiha clan's territory, having been abandoned for a long time, is not yet dilapidated, but it still looks somewhat old.

Hongzhi walked into a small courtyard on his own, while Kakashi, who followed behind, had a somewhat stiff expression.

Isn't this the courtyard where Obito Uchiha and his grandmother lived in my memory?

Thinking of this, Kakashi slowly entered. At this moment, Hiroji was quietly watching the cherry blossom tree in the center of the courtyard, where withered leaves were falling.

"Chakra reactions have been detected here before. Judging from your expression, this place is probably closely related to that Uchiha Obito, or perhaps this is his home..."

Hongzhi didn't continue speaking, but patted Kakashi on the shoulder and walked forward on his own. Obito Uchiha had been visiting Konoha quite frequently during that period.

Hongzhi can select a few important locations and have Kakashi confirm this matter.

This time, the location was a forest, which, according to Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha's memories, was the place where they first met in the village.

As for outside the village, that should be the time when Obito Uchiha slaughtered Itachi Uchiha's teammates, allowing Itachi to successfully awaken his Sharingan.

"This is where Obito usually trains..."

Kakashi looked around at the scene, and memories of the past slowly surfaced, but behind these memories lay an unimaginable abyss.

Darkness, oppression, and pain are slowly devouring past memories. If it had just begun, it might have been a coincidence, but how can this be explained? This is already the third place!

Chapter 294 Danzo the Traitor

The next few locations have little to do with Obito Uchiha, including the place where Naruto Uzumaki was born.

Kakashi didn't seem to know the exact location. After arriving, he looked around with some curiosity.

"This is where the Fourth Hokage's wife gave birth, and it was also the prelude to the Nine-Tails' rampage."

Hongzhi casually explained that he came here simply because he was bored, and at the same time, he wanted to see if he could find anything useful.

Kushina Uzumaki is still very strong. If she could be resurrected using Edo Tensei, that would be quite good.

However, Konoha handled the situation very meticulously, leaving no clues behind.

As Hongzhi prepared to leave, Kakashi remained standing in place, when he suddenly remembered something fatal.

After the mission to protect his teacher's wife Kushina ended, he learned that Naruto was about to be born. The first thing he did was go to the cemetery to tell Rin and Obito, whose name was engraved on the memorial stone.

If the mysterious person really is Obito, then where did he get the information from?

Although I really don't want to admit it, if Obito Uchiha had been nearby at that time, he definitely wouldn't have been able to detect me because of his space-time abilities.

That means he was the one who caused all this tragedy!

"Let's go, Kakashi. The investigation here is over. We want to..."

Just as Hongzhi was about to say something, he suddenly noticed Kakashi staring intently at the dark stone beside him.

Dark stones?

Hongzhi took a closer look and didn't find anything wrong at first, but after careful observation, he realized that there was likely blood splattered on it.

As for whose blood it is, it is not yet certain, but it is certain that it is from those people back then.

We can try it later and see if we can resurrect a ninja using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
