Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Sai, oblivious to Danzo's actions, continued speaking.

"Please grant my permission, Lord Danzo!"

Danzo then confirmed that Sai was not under control, so Sai's abnormal behavior could only be explained by one reason: he had ulterior motives!

Danzo's usual approach to subordinates with disloyal intentions was to execute them directly, but Sai now had other uses for him.

He looked down at Sai, who was kneeling before him, and said coldly,

"Are you trying to break away from your roots? Don't you want to live anymore?"

Sai didn't speak; in fact, he had already prepared to die before he came to see Danzo.

There's a saying on Earth that goes like this:

"I can endure darkness, provided I have never seen the light."

Naruto was Sai's light; he could no longer tolerate life in Root.

Danzo sneered and said,

"It seems you've made your choice, so you may leave now!"

Sai looked up in surprise, staring at Danzo with disbelief.

Danzo turned around and said calmly,

"I'll let you go, but you have to do one last thing for me. Has Uchiha Chika returned? As a member of Team 7, you must have a chance to get close to him. Help me find out what his Mangekyou Sharingan is, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Sai instinctively wanted to resist, but before he could say anything, Danzo directly activated the Tongue Disaster Removal Seal that he had planted on Sai.

Sai felt a wave of numbness wash over him and collapsed to the ground in agony.

Danzo then walked into the shadows, leaving behind a message.

"This is your last chance, think it over carefully!"

......

On the streets of Konoha,

Chiga walked in front, with Sakura and Naruto following closely behind him, but their expressions looked a little strange.

Naruto, carrying the still unconscious Sasuke, suddenly moved close to Chiga, covered his mouth, and whispered something.

"Senior Chiga, those two old men at the gate are alright, aren't they?"

Qianhe glanced at him sideways and said calmly,

"What? You want to demand an explanation from me on their behalf?"

"No, no, no, I'm just afraid that Senior Chiga might go too far and cause someone to die..."

"Alright, they're fine, they just fainted."

Chiga waved his hand and walked forward on his own.

Just now, when I entered Konoha, two Chunin who were standing guard at the entrance blocked Chiga's way.

Because Chiga's face was completely unfamiliar to them, and she had long, snow-white hair, she didn't look like an ordinary person at all.

Seeing this, Yamato hurriedly tried to step forward to explain, but it was too late.

A red light flashed in Chiga's eyes, and the two Konoha Chunin rolled their eyes and fainted on the ground.

After taking down the two Chunin guarding the gate, Chiga stepped over their bodies and led the way into Konoha.

Yamato was quite frightened by this scene and, in order to prevent things from escalating, he ran to report to Tsunade.

People on the street couldn't help but sized up Chiga, who was leading the group, and some nosy individuals had already started gossiping.

"Look at that person, the pattern on his back looks so familiar!"

"Are you stupid?! Isn't that the Uchiha clan crest?!"

"Uchiha? Weren't they wiped out? And where did Sasuke Uchiha go?!"

"Who knows? But their clan crest wouldn't be used as a decoration. Maybe that person really is from the Uchiha clan."

Several young female ninjas have already become infatuated with him.

"He's definitely from the Uchiha clan! Look at his face! He's so handsome!"

"Yeah, yeah! I saw Sasuke at school when I was little. He was already very handsome, but that person was much more handsome than Sasuke!"

"Wait, isn't that Naruto? Who's that person he's carrying? I think it looks like Sasuke..."

Chapter 303 Kakashi

Chiga walked very fast, and Naruto and Sakura could only jog to keep up.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the gate of Konoha Hospital.

Chiga knew that Kakashi was still lying in this hospital because he had used Kamui.

Naruto asked, puzzled.

"Senior Chiga, aren't you going to check on the Uchiha clan's headquarters?"

Qianhe shook his head and said calmly,

"There's nothing to see there. Isn't Kakashi still in this hospital? Let's go see him first."

"Eh? Senpai Chiga even knows this? What's your relationship with Kakashi-sensei?"

"He used to be my subordinate."

After saying that, Chiga walked into the hospital. Naruto and Sakura exchanged a glance and then followed him inside.

In the hospital ward,

Kakashi was engrossed in reading a small book when the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open. He quickly stuffed the book under the covers and looked towards the door with his dead fish eyes.

When Kakashi saw the person's face clearly, his eyes widened, almost as if he wanted to pull off his mask and use his Sharingan to see them.

Chiga smiled and said,

"Kakashi, what's with that look in your eyes? Don't you recognize me?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Kakashi swallowed hard and slowly said,

"Captain Chika... Captain Chika!"

"Not bad, looks like you haven't forgotten me, your captain!"

Chiga smiled and shook his head, then walked over and sat down beside Kakashi's bed.

After a while, Naruto and Sakura arrived at Kakashi's hospital room. They called out "Kakashi-sensei" at the door, but no one responded after a while.

The two had no choice but to peek into the ward, where they saw Chika sitting with her arms crossed by Kakashi's bedside, while Kakashi had his head drooping, looking like a student who had made a mistake.

Chiga ignored Naru and Sakura at the door and scolded them with a stern face.

"Kakashi, what have you been doing all these years? Don't you know what Naruto's life was like before?"

Naruto was surprised that Chika was scolding Kakashi because of him, and his heart warmed.

Kakashi, upon hearing this, felt aggrieved and whispered,

"At the time, I didn't know that Naruto's father was Minato-sensei. The Third Hokage and the others kept the news under wraps, and I only found out after I took over Team 7..."

"Heh, is it the Third Hokage again? No, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado are all involved as well."

Upon hearing the names uttered by Chiga, Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat.

Chika's eyes were unusually cold as he continued,

"And there's the matter of my Uchiha clan being wiped out; I can't pretend I don't know about that..."

Kakashi grew increasingly frightened as he listened. From what Chiga was saying, it seemed that he had returned to settle scores with the higher-ups in Konoha.

Although the Third Hokage is dead, the rest are still alive and well!

Kakashi wanted to speak up and dissuade him, because he felt that if Chiga went to cause trouble for the Konoha higher-ups, it would be no different from suicide.

Before he could even speak, Asuma suddenly arrived with Team 10; they had come to visit Kakashi.

Asuma glanced at Naruto and Sakura, who were leaning against the doorframe, and said...

"What are you two doing here? Hey? Isn't that Sasuke?! What's going on here?"

Ino and the others were also surprised to see Sasuke on Naruto's back. They looked at Naruto and Sakura, wanting to know what had happened.

Naruto paused for a moment, then said,

"Asuma-sensei, it's a long story, you'll find out when you go inside..."

"Hmm? Could this be related to Kakashi?"

Kakashi felt a headache coming on when he heard Asuma's voice at the door. After Asuma came in, he frantically gestured with his eyes for Asuma to leave immediately.

Asuma didn't understand Kakashi's meaning; he thought Kakashi was greeting him.

That's true. With Kakashi's face having only one eye, who among normal people could understand what he meant?

Asuma noticed Chiga sitting by Kakashi's bedside. He saw Chiga's profile, but she still looked somewhat familiar.

Ino, who was behind him, lit up when she saw Chiga. She nudged Sakura's arm and whispered, "..."

"Sakura, who's that handsome guy?"

"That's Senpai Chika, he's also from the Uchiha clan!"

"What? Are there other survivors from the Uchiha clan? No wonder, he really does look like an Uchiha!"

Ino wanted to go up and talk to Chiga, but Sakura saw what she meant and grabbed her.

Under Ino's questioning gaze, Sakura lowered her voice and said,

"You'd better not have any ideas about Senpai Chiga, he's dangerous!"

"What does it mean?"

"You'll find out later."

Asuma also heard Sakura's words. He paused for a moment, thinking to himself,
