Madara, let's change the world together!

"From now on, we must strengthen our surveillance of the Uchiha clan and prevent them from having any possibility of harming the village!"

Danzo Shimura spoke with absolute certainty, his voice drowning out Hiruzen Sarutobi's attempt to refute him.

"Put them under 24-hour surveillance."

"This will only provoke even stronger resistance!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to be even more cautious.

"Let the secret agents carry it out in secret, just more meticulously than before."

"Yes, it's better to be careful."

This time, both Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu expressed their opinions and sided with Danzo.

Seeing that the other three supported the surveillance, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up anxiously.

"Wait! We're not even sure it was the Uchiha who did it!"

"That's precisely why we have to do it!"

"If no abnormalities are found, it will actually prove the Uchiha's innocence."

Danzo Shimura asserted this matter with great force and demanded that Root resume its surveillance of the Uchiha clan.

time does not wait.

Since Minato Namikaze didn't die this time because Kurama escaped, he must seize the time to regain power!

Ideally, Minato Namikaze could lie there forever!

"The Third and Fourth Hokage's conditions are far more serious than we anticipated!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in the Hokage uniform, came to Konoha Hospital to check on Minato Namikaze's condition, only to find it was worse than he had anticipated.

"The Fourth Hokage's physical strength has not recovered yet, and he remains in a state of weakness, unable to even fully regain consciousness."

"We've tried many methods, but none of them have worked."

The female medical ninja said sadly.

Is there really no other way?

"Perhaps, maybe the Fourth Hokage can recover over time."

"None of us medical ninjas can cure this condition. No, if it were Lady Tsunade, she might be able to."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback. Indeed, Tsunade, whose medical ninjutsu was the most outstanding, might actually be able to cure him.

In that case, those three people are very suitable for this task.

Just then, when Hiruzen Sarutobi walked out of the ward, he saw three people who had come to visit Minato Namikaze.

It was Kakashi Hatake, Rin Nohara, and Obito Uchiha, who had just returned to the village this morning.

"Kakashi, Rin, Obito, come to the Hokage's office after your visit."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said this to the three of them, and then returned to his office, which he somewhat missed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi touched the Hokage hat on his head, his feelings were quite complicated.

After learning that Minato Namikaze would need to recuperate for a long time, he announced that he would continue to do the work of Hokage until Minato recovered.

Although he was tired from doing the cleanup work these past two days, he found it enjoyable.

He once again felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, as if he had all the affairs of the entire village under his control.

He's burning himself out to serve the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of the child who had just become the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki.

The other party is a Root ninja, a subordinate directly under Shimura Danzo. He needs an opportunity to recruit him.

It's far too dangerous for Danzo to have Jinchuriki in his hands!

Coincidentally, the secret technique Danzo used to suppress tailed beasts also needs to be investigated.

This old friend really did prepare a lot of things without making a sound.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips curled up slightly.

Not long after, Kakashi and his two companions arrived at the Hokage's office. As expected, they were given an S-rank mission by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He led the Fourth Hokage to Sunrise Castle, found Tsunade, and healed Minato.

Until the treatment is completed, unless they are urgently found, they must stay by Minato's side at all times.

Having accepted the mission, the three walked down the street in silence.

They are already quite mature, around fifteen years old.

Nohara Rin looked worried, after all, her older sister Kushina had passed away.

Kakashi, on the other hand, was secretly observing Obito.

Because he discovered that when he told Obito about Minato, Obito acted as if he was just putting on an act, and Obito didn't seem surprised or sad at all.

If it were anyone else, it would be one thing, but knowing Obito's goofy nature, he was certain that Obito knew something!

Perhaps we could ask.

Meanwhile, Kiyoi Gen was browsing the information provided by Aino, feeling much more at ease.

Everything is going according to his plan.

Guoying really helped this time, saving him a lot of trouble.

Just like in the original story, Konoha, beset by internal and external troubles, was more in his interest.

Chapter 254 Konoha's Internal and External Troubles

The next morning, Kakashi, Rin, and Obito moved the sleeping Minato Namikaze into the caravan's wagon.

"Misaka-neechan, we're leaving."

Mikoto Uchiha watched them leave, her expression gradually turning cold.

She sensed the gazes of some people.

It seems that Danzo Shimura's men have started monitoring the Uchiha clan.

The conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan will likely intensify further.

Along the way, Kakashi and Obito circled the caravan, keeping watch and observing.

Seeing Obito acting as carefree as ever, Kakashi frowned deeply.

"Obito".

"Ok?"

Obito instinctively turned around, but Kakashi's question immediately made his expression freeze.

"Do you know the inside story of the Nine-Tailed Fox incident?"

"Huh? Me? How could I possibly know?"

Kakashi was now certain that Obito was hiding something from him.

Obito wasn't there that night either, but he wasn't carrying out the mission assigned by the Hokage; instead, he was doing the work that his uncle, Genji, had given him.

Although it's not nice to say it like this, Kakashi always felt that Uncle Gen's power was definitely not simple, and that Uncle Gen was a little too concerned about Konoha.

"Obito, if you don't tell me, I'll tell Rin about the photo of you kissing her."

!!!

"Kakashi!"

Obito suddenly grabbed Kakashi's shoulder, his three-tomoe Sharingan activated in his haste.

"No! I beg you!"

Kakashi's shoulder twitched, but the twitch didn't come off.

So he put his right hand to his mouth, making a shouting motion.

"Snapped!"

Obito made a swift and decisive move, covering Kakashi's mouth.

"I can only say that you'll know once we get to Sunrise City!"

really!

Kakashi began to speculate further.

Since this incident is related to Uncle Yuan, Obito doesn't seem sad at all.

Maybe Kushina and the others didn't actually die; they were just pretending.

camouflage?

Kakashi frowned, puzzled, as the image of his uncle, Zaraki, flashed through his mind.

The elder who often accompanied him in practicing swordsmanship had already returned to Chu Ri City.

Could it be?

A sense of unease welled up inside me.

It was as if some kind of switch had been flipped, and Kakashi's mind was in complete chaos.

"Kakashi?"

"No, it's nothing."

The next second, both of their expressions turned serious.

"I'll go."

After saying that, Obito's eyes transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan, allowing him to clearly sense the six Root ninjas.

It's time to test his abilities.
