The death of the Fourth Kazekage in Sunagakure had not yet faded when more news exploded through the entire Ninja World, and this news came from the Kirigakure.
Kirigakure issued a wanted order for Uchiha Obito.
Not only that, but Kirigakure also announced Uchiha Obitoâs information, including his age and photos, as well as his Mangekyou Sharinganâs ability.
In addition to these, Kirigakure took the matter of Uchiha Obito to the Third Hokage to negotiate with Konohagakure.
Kirigakure believes that Uchiha Obito was following the Konohagakureâs order. After the Third Ninja World War, he controlled the Fourth Mizukage, likely to seize control of the entire Kirigakure.
In Konohagakure, there was a burst of protest.
Sarutobi had no choice but to finally no longer support Kakashi and announced the S-class Wanted Order for Uchiha Obito.
Suddenly, everyone in every Ninja Village around the Ninja World was in danger.
The ninja villages became far more alert after they learned about Obitoâs ability to control the Jinchuriki.
Uchiha Obito had truly become the enemy of the entire ninja world.
White Zetsuâs small hideout.
Obitoâs face was hideous. He had expected that this day would happen for a long time, but he did not expect that this day would come so soon.
Initially, he still wanted to declare war aggressively on the entire Ninja World in the future when everything was under his control, but now he had been unilaterally listed as an enemy of the Ninja World.
âHow did the Kirigakure get this information?â
Obito grabbed his hair, thinking about when he had revealed a flaw, âBlack Zetsu, could it be? Could Kisame have betrayed me?â
After Obito grabbed his hair, he looked at Black Zetsu next to him with cold eyes, âOr⊠have you also betrayed me? Black Zetsu.â
ââŠâ
Black Zetsuâs face was unsightly.
Was it really necessary to keep working with this guy? Suspicious at every turn, he deserved to be an Uchiha.
Uchiha Obito was far worse than Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara had absolute trust in the idea that Black Zetsu was a manifestation of his own will.
But with things getting to this point and Uchiha Obito being so angry, it was normal for him to suspect everyone around him. After all, every wanted order had pictures of him.
One with a mask and one without a mask.
He didnât know which bastard provided these two photos.
âThe issue of tracing the source of the information leak can only be investigated slowlyâŠâ
Black Zetsu sighed, then glanced at Obito and said, âFor the time being, you canât casually move around. You can only help me gather information in the near future.â
âHumph!â
He slammed his fist on the table and said in a deep voice, âThe information came from Kirigakure. Any of the Akatsukiâs three Seven Ninja Swordsmen can be the perpetrator, and we, and we need to kill them!â
âObito, the Akatsuki is no longer yours.â
Black Zetsu shook his head, looking at Obito, who was not in a good mood, and sighed, âThe five big countries are looking for your whereabouts, and your wanted orders are everywhere outside.â
âThey canât catch me.â
âBut it was likely to hinder our plan.â
Black Zetsuâs words held a little dissatisfaction, and he said in a hoarse voice, âObviously, they were targeting you this time, but they may not know of the Eye of the Moon Plan. We must hide and slowly investigate the source, lest all of us become exposed.â
After Black Zetsu scolded Obito, he finally said, âIn case your actions implicate the Akatsuki organization and cause my exposure⊠Obito, donât do anything impulsive that might undermine Uchiha Madaraâs plan. â
âI know.â
Obito nodded gloomily.
After Black Zetsu left, his hand moved little by little to his chest, and the seal in his heart that controlled.
This seal could only make Obito temporarily endure it.
Inside Konohagakure.
In Hokageâs office.
Kakashi was in a worse mood than Obito.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his seat, smoking a pipe in his mouth, and his face was hidden by the smoke, making it difficult to see his expression.
âKakashi, I understand what youâre thinking.â
The Third Hokageâs slightly older voice echoed through the Hokage office, his tone was full of regret, âBut, Obito is on the wrong path now. We canât indulge him anymore.â
âI see, Hokage-sama.â
Kakashi tapped his ninjaâs forehead protector and said softly, âIâve volunteered to track Obito and bring him backâŠâ
âRegarding the investigation of Uchiha Obito, I have delegated it to someone else.â
Sarutobi shook his head and sipped his pipe, âTake a good rest for a while. I have arranged a new mission for you. We can no longer indulge in the past. We must focus on Konohaâs future.â
âIâŠâ
Kakashiâs face hesitated.
âKakashi.â
Sarutobi interrupted Kakashiâs words and whispered, âI have put you on the list of ninja instructors for next yearâs graduating class, donât let me down.â
ââŠI know.â
Kakashi stood up helplessly and left the Hokage office. Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and said, âSandaime-sama, if your students donât meet my standardsâŠâ
Sarutobi raised his head and looked at him, and said, âKakashi, you are their ninja instructor, and you have the power to decide whether they graduate and become qualified ninjas.â
When Kakashi left the Hokage office, he ran into a bandaged one-eyed old man, causing Kakashiâs mood to drop even further.
Since Shimura Danzoâs confinement ended, he started to become active in Konoha again. According to Kakashiâs understanding, Danzo should have been appointed by Sarutobi to investigate Obito.
When Danzo and Kakashi passed by each other, he suddenly called to him, âKakashi, donât feel regret over your old friendâs situation. Heâs a traitor to the village. Itâs not worth wasting a Joninâs time over.â
âWhat do you mean, Danzo-sama?â
Danzo turned around slowly, looking at Kakashiâs back, and said, âI hope you donât have anything to do with what Uchiha Obito did before.â
ââŠâ
Kakashi was silent for a while and left the Hokage Tower without answering Danzoâs words. He needed to find a place to think.
Kakashi had reason to suspect that Danzo might use Obito to frame him in the future and try to seize his Sharingan.
A new age of darkness was about to come.
The Ninja World had not been at peace for long, and now it would fall into chaos again, and no one could escape this whirlpool.
Konoha Memorial Stone.
When Kakashi walked here, he happened to see a few people digging up Obitoâs grave and removing his tombstone.
Since he was not one of Konohaâs heroes, he was naturally not qualified to be in the memorial stone.
Kakashi sighed inwardly, placed a bunch of flowers in front of Nohara Rinâs tombstone, squatted down, and said, âRin⊠what should I do now?â
Kakashi just wanted to quietly stay here for a while when a loud noise interrupted his thinking. It sounded like people arguing.
âHey!â
âThatâs too much!â
âHey!â
âTheyâre already dead!â
He didnât know when a little boy with yellow hair suddenly appeared to watch the excitement. He must have been playing around the memorial stone, unafraid of the environment here.
Itâs a pity that the ninjas responsible for digging the earthen graves didnât care about him. They pushed the little boy away while cursing.
âGo away!â
âHey, how could you do this!â
The little yellow-haired boy waved his arm vigorously and said a little angrily, âHow could you dig up someone elseâs grave!â
âHey!â
The grave digger ignores him.
But someone couldnât help but push the yellow-haired boy to the ground.
Kakashi frowned, walked to the little boyâs side, and he stopped the dispute between them, and the situation finally calmed down.
The little yellow-haired boy sat beside Kakashi and mumbled, a little dissatisfied, âHow could they dig up the graves of the dead!â
Kakashi did not answer but looked at the little boy with yellow hair and said, âShouldnât little kids of your age attend classes at the ninja school?â
âI skipped class! Today Iruka-senseiâs class was very boring!â
The little yellow-haired boy seemed to be quite proud of skipping classes and didnât realize the seriousness of the situation.
Kakashi choked, patted his forehead, and helplessly said, âYou managed to escape from Irukaâs class⊠you are really amazing!â
This little devil, apart from his appearance, was nothing like his father. The yellow-haired little devilâs father was known as a perfect ninja.
âYou think I am amazing too!â
The yellow-haired boy turned his head to look at Kakashi with a smile on his face and said, âSenpai, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, whatâs your name!â
ââŠYou will know later.â
âOh.â
The young Uzumaki suddenly became a little embarrassed. He just watched intently at those people smashing the tombstone of Obito and couldnât help but feel a little dissatisfied, âSenpai, why were they digging it up!â
Kakashi touched the little boyâs yellow hair, took a deep breath, and said, âBecause that person doesnât deserve to be here.â
