Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Kaguya fell into deep thought.

In fact, on the battlefield, when Hiruzen Sarutobi silenced the boiling Konoha army with a wave of his hand, Kaguya wanted to ask how her vessel managed to do that…

So, it turns out that orders can be obeyed without question?

Because back then, even the White Zetsu couldn't figure out how to handle Kaguya, and had to endure their provocative questions.

It can only be said that a thousand years ago, White Zetsu had a strong curiosity about what the urge to defecate felt like, and that curiosity has continued to this day...

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama..."

"I've shown you my pathetic side..."

Despite undergoing hellish training, Obito never complained of being tired, let alone shed a tear, even when facing several Kage and ninja demons at the Mountain Graveyard.

As soon as he returned to the village, his efforts were in vain.

Because genuine concern, like a raging fire, easily burns the souls of the barren spiritual world of the ninja world… Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said with a smile:

"I was just like you when I was young, Obito..."

"Back then I was very thin, so people called me a monkey. Lord Hashirama secretly gave me extra lessons, but I couldn't learn them. When I got home, I was exhausted and anxious, and I even shed tears."

"For a ninja, crying isn't a sin; it's just a way to release inner fatigue."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words seemed to have a magical power, quickly calming Obito down from his sobbing. He hastily wiped his wet eyes and took a deep breath.

So even the Hokage couldn't learn ninjutsu?

I even cried!

But Hiruzen Sarutobi's words did not make Obito feel that the Hokage's divine status in his heart had been shattered.

Hearing these everyday stories actually made me feel like we were one step closer together...

They established a personal relationship.

"Hokage-sama..."

Obito carefully chose his words, his Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan slightly swirling in his eyes: "I was ambushed by the enemy Jonin Higashi Shijin and his gang during a battle with Iwagakure..."

"Kakashi, Rin, and I faced the enemy and were driven into a minefield. I stepped on an explosive tag and almost lost half of my body. Kakashi carried me on his back..."

"Later, Kinkaku, Ginkaku, Ashina, and the Second Raikage came to save us and killed those Iwa ninja. I was then taken to an underground cave."

"That is, the headquarters of the 'Scarlet' organization that has just been revealed..."

At this point, Obito's heart suddenly tightened again.

Because no matter what, the Crimson Organization is openly opposing Konoha.

The standoff between the two sides forced Hiruzen Sarutobi to resurrect Hashirama Senju using the Impure World Reincarnation technique…

Although the ending is good, the motivations and logic behind the process are quite intriguing.

Even Obito himself found it extremely suspicious that a Konoha ninja who had disappeared for over a year had returned to the village with such skill after spending so much time there…

Being subject to censorship is perfectly normal.

These soil samples are acceptable.

However, because Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the current head of the Hokage lineage, genuinely cared for his grand-disciple, Obito developed feelings of insecurity and uncertainty...

What if the two extremes reverse?

Suddenly, Obito understood why the clan leader Madara hadn't forbidden him from returning to the village...

Because once we go back, there are many things that will be difficult to explain.

In particular, Madara and the Uchiha clan are currently deeply intertwined within the village. Once his existence and actions are exposed, many things will become extremely troublesome...

A slight misstep could lead to a chain reaction of collapse.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression remained unchanged, still an encouraging smile, as he nodded slightly to Obito, indicating that he shouldn't worry and could continue speaking normally...

Obito was taken aback. Under the Hokage's gentle gaze, the chaotic emotions in his heart seemed to melt away, and he unconsciously smiled. Right, what was he afraid of?

With the Hokage here, even the most difficult things can be explained clearly…

He's not afraid!

"Over the past year, Uncle Mu and Uncle Gengetsu, as well as the Raikage, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and Uncle Ashina have taught me a lot of combat techniques. I've been training very hard every day..."

"Because half of my body was blown away by the explosive tags, the 'Scarlet' organization filled me with a substance similar to Hashirama's cells..." Obito rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white arms.

That belongs to Ah Fei…

Kaguya listened intently to Obito's confession, then paused slightly in surprise.

She realized she seemed to know absolutely nothing about White Zetsu…

First there was Hashirama Senju, who was extremely similar to a spirit tree, and now there's Obito, a "high-level space-time jutsu White Zetsu"...

In any case, the power of the White Zetsu and the Divine Tree, when utilized in this way, is indeed far more powerful than the White Zetsu army she created solely through sheer numbers…

Did I really make a mistake back then?

Kaguya had only been in Konoha for a short time when she accomplished something the Sage of Six Paths had failed to do for a thousand years…

This prompted the progenitor of chakra to reflect on his actions!

In particular, when Kaguya looked closely, she realized that all those ninjas who had been transplanted with Hashirama's cells could actually be seen as White Zetsu, which was exactly the same thing she had done back then.

Although if the Sage of Six Paths and Hiruzen Sarutobi knew, they would definitely ask her where she was.

But that doesn't stop Kaguya from projecting herself onto the character now...

"Oh? It's been filled with cells similar to those of Lord Hashirama?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled, then grasped Obito's arm, sensing the life force within it.

There is indeed such a claim!

It possesses a vitality almost identical to that of the original Hashirama cells, but is far more orderly…

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment:

"Obito, find some time to have Orochimaru examine your body. Our village is making progress in the development of Hashirama's cells."

"First, we want to check if you have any hidden illnesses. Second, we want to test whether these special cells in your body can be helpful for the village's research." Obito nodded naturally: "I understand, Hokage-sama!"

In truth, Obito was somewhat uneasy about half of his body being replaced by Tobi, after all, it was the work of the Asura of the ninja world. Based on Obito's understanding of Madara…

It's unlikely that he would use a sneak attack, but it's also quite possible that he didn't have a backup plan.

The clan leader is just that awkward...

He's constantly shifting between being a mastermind behind the scenes and possessing immense power; it's hard to say what form he'll inevitably encounter...

"The Crimson Organization's stated goal appears to be to pursue peace..."

"But their methods are strange. These previous Kage of the Impure World are all special puppet bodies. Not only is everyone's vision interconnected, but they also each have a strange ability."

"The Human Realm, the Asura Realm, the Heavenly Realm, the Hell Realm, the Animal Realm, the Hungry Ghost Realm..."

Obito rattled off all six abilities of the Rinnegan, not using the bizarre method of carving words on a toad's back, but instead rattling off a whole bunch of examples in a flustered manner...

After all, he usually trained with these old men.

When these old ninja from the Warring States period sometimes discussed the discord in the ninja world, they would also fight each other, using their abilities enhanced by Madara. Obito, having watched this for a long time, naturally understood what was going on.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened quietly.

If Konoha had encountered just these few Kage ten years ago, they would probably have faced annihilation; they might have been wiped out in one fell swoop…

Especially with Ashina Uzumaki's combination of gravitational repulsion and sealing techniques, it can be described as a "mini-Hiruzen" fighting style...

Ordinary ninjas, even many Konoha committee members, couldn't do much against him.

However, in present-day Konoha, while these Sengoku-era oddballs from the Crimson Organization are still troublesome, the other ninjas in the village are no less formidable...

There are many monsters in Konoha too.

"My eyes are..."

Obito hesitated for a moment: "I was tricked into opening my Sharingan. They lied and said you were dead. I became very emotional at the time and was hit by the Naraku-sight Jutsu that was planted in my body..."

"I saw that you, Kakashi, and Rin were all dead, so I activated these Mangekyou Sharingan. The name of the eye technique is Kamui, and its ability is to teleport through space."

As he spoke, Obito, fearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't understand his strange eye technique, stretched out his ethereal arm and waved it around on the desk... He then used Kamui to absorb the teacup on the desk, took it out of his storage space, and put it back.

This Hiruzen Sarutobi combo is hilarious.

Kamui's power is undeniable, but Obito's clumsy yet earnest demonstration gave the Hokage the feeling of watching a magic trick... "One ball on the left, two balls on the right... Transform! Guess how many balls are in the bowl now?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no doubt that Obito would genuinely use the Mangekyou Sharingan to amuse children…

"Is it about utilizing spatial overlap?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered the mechanism of Kamui and couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

This is a spatial ability even more advanced than the Flying Thunder God Technique…

Blurring is just too unreasonable!

This completely disregards the traditional ninja's strategic thinking, making it almost an uncounterable ability, since the Flying Thunder God Technique also requires clear coordinates.

Kamui doesn't need these.

Not only is it extremely authoritative in combat, but it also comes with a secret base…

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat tempted by what he heard.

After all, which man hasn't fantasized about having his own little space when he was a child?

A kaleidoscope eye technique that can excel in both combat and daily life...

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be called the most unreasonable Uchiha and the most outrageous eye of the mind!

"I think I understand now, Obito..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out and naturally placed his palm above Obito's Hollowfied arm.

Then, something happened that made Obito's eyes widen in surprise.

His ethereal arm was actually caught by the Hokage!

"what?"

Obito stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi in astonishment, momentarily bewildered.

This naturally left him speechless...

No, this is the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique!

"Sealing technique, kid."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled:

"A long time ago, when I was just an ordinary Jonin, I wondered what I would do if the enemy mastered Lord Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Spatial abilities that are almost impossible to counter are too domineering."

"I can't hope that the enemy will never master spatial abilities, but my talent in spatial matters is too ordinary. Fortunately, I am relatively well-suited for sealing techniques."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was targeting Tobirama…

No, this is a "space seal" developed with the help of Mito, in response to the possibility that the enemy might possess spatial techniques.

However, Tobirama himself has not yet experienced this feeling; instead, Obito, Aozumi's younger brother, has been the first to experience it.

Obito clearly sensed that the instant Hiruzen Sarutobi approached his intangible arm, space seemed to be sealed off by a powerful gravitational force, forcibly pulling him out of his intangible state in an instant…

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, still dissatisfied with his performance.

His current level is such that he can make it difficult for enemies to escape in close combat, but it's a different story at a distance... In Hiruzen Sarutobi's vision, it would be best to combine the "eye technique release" of Spirit Release with sealing techniques, or to forge himself into a self-propelled barrier.

Within this domain, illegal spatial movement can be prevented!

Hiruzen Sarutobi has already decided on his sparring partners for the next round.

Tobirama, Minato, Jiraiya who can use reverse summoning, and of course, Obito who wields Kamui, accompany him to analyze the mysteries of this space... Obito feels somewhat complicated.

He thought he had truly become someone the ninja world could not control…

Even the Hokage might be the same.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took in Obito's expression and smiled slightly.

Extraordinary power can affect a person's mindset.

The saying goes, "He who possesses a sharp blade will naturally harbor murderous intent." When one acquires unstoppable martial power, especially the kind gained in an instant, chaos can easily ensue without a corresponding mental fortitude...

In a sense, this is also why the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan users always caused trouble during the Warring States period.

But as long as someone can control it, the disease will generally heal quickly.

This is why, when Madara and Izuna were around, the Uchiha clans didn't turn on each other because of Izanagi...

As for Obito...

Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that Obito's Will of Fire would not cause him to lose his composure.

But preventing the space-time jutsu from becoming unbalanced was Obito's job; restraining the overly powerful space-time jutsu was the Hokage's job...

As Hokage, his job is to become as strong as possible, consider various factors, and minimize the chances and ideas that other ninjas might make mistakes...

Everyone is trying their best to live.

"Is that so?"

Obito couldn't help but look at his idol with admiration.

The title of "Doctor of Ninjutsu" is truly well-deserved!

Obito simply couldn't fathom how the Hokage, without the Uchiha or Senju bloodline, had endured so much hardship and pain to slowly cultivate to his current strength...

They must be suffering much more than I am!

"Lord Hokage, there's one more thing..."

Obito became a little hesitant again, and the conversation finally reached its climax.

That was Uchiha Madara!

Clearly, after the Crimson Organization's appearance, the question of who is behind this mysterious organization that has gathered the former Kage of various villages has sparked discussion throughout the ninja world...

Spatial teleportation techniques, forbidden techniques involving repulsion and attraction, the Impure World Reincarnation, a ruthless and insidious style…

Now, Wood Release has been added as a distraction.

These elements intersect, and it seems there's only one ninja who meets all these criteria...

That was Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage of Konoha!

But unfortunately, Obito knew that many of the things the Scarlet Organization did were done by Madara Uchiha…

The problem is that Madara Uchiha used the bond between grandfather and grandson to bind Obito, who was particularly sensitive to emotions, so much so that Obito, who hadn't reacted much when Kamui was broken, suddenly turned red in the face.

How should we face the Hokage?

Deceiving the Hokage?

That's impossible, of course.

But betraying my great-grandfather and the clan chief?

This doesn't seem quite right either...

"The leader of the Scarlet Organization..."

Obito was experiencing a fierce internal struggle, and unconsciously lowered his head, muttering softly:

"Obito, lift your head."

Observing Obito's reaction, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood and said softly, "Is it because he didn't want you to talk? Not only that, he used to be someone with a very high status in Konoha..."

Obito was startled, looked up and met Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, his Mangekyou Sharingan filled with tension and anticipation.

Could it really be as Ah Huo said...?

Does the Hokage actually know everything?

"Let me think..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled out his pipe, pretending to ponder, while Obito quickly stood up and skillfully lit it for his master using his Fire Release techniques. Although he was Minato's student, generally speaking, those separated by two or more generations are all referred to as "masters"...

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Obito with a hint of surprise.

You studied under Ban for over a year, and your emotional intelligence has improved quite quickly, hasn't it?

It seems like she's done a lot of serving people...

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly became more interested in Obito. His intuition told him that Obito, given his personality, shouldn't be able to grasp such a deep strategy as playing the emotional card with Madara.

It seems like he has a mentor guiding him!

Amidst swirling clouds and mist, Obito waited anxiously for the Hokage to speak.

Kaguya felt a strange sense of anticipation.

Although Kaguya's mental abilities weren't quite up to par, she surprisingly enjoyed listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's reasoning and decryption, which made her feel as if she could analyze many things herself...

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi was her vessel!

"You said your kaleidoscope was a setup to open your eyes..."

"And this person possesses so many forbidden techniques and materials that only Tobirama-sensei knew, so most people in the ninja world believe that the leader of the Scarlet Organization is my teacher."

"This speculation is reasonable because it matches both in terms of style and objective technique. However, they overlooked one issue: the Will of Fire and bonds of Konoha."

"The more he resembles Tobirama-sensei, the less likely he is to be the leader of the Scarlet Organization to me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a chuckle.

This left Obito somewhat confused.

Why is it that the more similar something is, the less it is actually the same?

"Obito, even after you awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and even though you stayed in the Scarlet Organization for over a year and had many suspicious points about you, you still trusted me and came to the Hokage's office alone..."

"It's because the Will of Fire resonates between us; the bond of Konoha transcends any doubts."

"You trust me, so I trust you too."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly.

Obito blushed deeply and unconsciously puffed out his chest: "Yes, Hokage-sama!"

"In private, you can call him Grandmaster."

"Yes, Master!" Obito immediately shouted.

"And this trust is inherited from one generation, just like the bond between me and Tobirama-sensei."

"If it were Tobirama-sensei, even if he resurrected the previous Kage and had different views on the Will of Fire and the village's development, and he really didn't die back then but is still alive to set up the trials..."

"He won't just not come looking for me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly, "Just as I trust you, my grand-disciple, and you trust me, your grandmaster, I also trust my teacher..." "If the real Tobirama were to make a move, he would, on one hand, inform Konoha to prepare for the test, making it clear that the village is ready, but in essence, it's a coordinated invasion of the ninja world from within..."

"On the other hand, he would never let so many people think it was him. Instead, he would find a representative figure to impersonate him, after all, Tobirama-sensei still has his pride..."

"If it really were Tobirama-sensei, I think he'd probably try to impersonate 'Uchiha Madara'..."

Obito was startled, his eyes widening instantly.

no…

Is it really possible to deduce the answer so quickly and easily?

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled as he watched Obito's reaction: "You really are suited to wearing a mask. You'd better learn to keep your expression under control in the future, or you'll suffer for it sooner or later..."

Obito exclaimed and waved his hands repeatedly, "I didn't say anything, Master!"

Whether you say it or not is not important; this is how things are, and the logic is there.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head:

"If Tobirama-sensei will choose to play Madara, then who will choose to play Tobirama-sensei?"

"In reality, the strong playing the weak has lingering effects; the one who holds the initiative often indicates a far superior skill level." "A strong Warring States period feel, an understanding of the Uchiha clan..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the mountain-stabilizing stone on the Hokage's desk, the Sage Stone Tablet passed down through the Uchiha clan:

"Can you see the words on this? Obito..."

Obito squinted as he slowly read the words:

"By uniting Yin and Yang, one can obtain the power of all things in the universe..."

"The so-called power of all things in the universe can be a combination of Yin and Yang techniques, or it can be the Yin and Yang derived from the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements," Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly.

"In the Warring States period, the ultimate Yang power was represented by the First Hokage, Hashirama, while the ultimate Yin power was naturally represented by Madara Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan."

"So the combination of these two is pure yin and yang in harmony, and the Rinnegan represents the myriad phenomena of the universe, signifying a brand new power." "So things are quite simple."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reveals the truth, his eyes shining brightly even through the smoke:

"Uchiha Madara did not die after his battle with Lord Hashirama. He obtained Lord Hashirama's cells through some means and hid them to cultivate the power of the myriad phenomena."

"He didn't open his eyes until he was old, which is the period when he started to become active..."

"Based on my understanding of the obsessions of Sengoku ninjas and the Uchiha clan, I suspect he may have found a way to resolve the conflicts in the ninja world, but he has shelved it."

"The reason for the delay is naturally because he saw that Konoha is developing quite well now, getting closer and closer to the village in his heart..." "But he doesn't want to give up his method of solving the problem with pure power using the Rinnegan. However, Konoha is the village that he and Lord Hashirama built together. Under the influence of these conflicts, things have turned out this way..."

"Madara was reluctant to give up his method, but he also had some respect for Konoha. So he kept testing Konoha while causing them trouble, constantly escalating the challenges in an attempt to prove himself right or wrong."

"Am I right, Obito...?"

Obito and Kaguya listened to Hiruzen Sarutobi's analysis, both of them dumbfounded.

Kaguya was unaware of the inside story; she simply thought it was impressive that Hiruzen Sarutobi could say so much at once and string together so much logic!

Isn't this even more difficult than releasing the Ash Bones of the Common Killer?

Obito, on the other hand, felt that the Hokage's eyes were even sharper than the clan leader's Rinnegan!

The clan leader saw right through him...

It was as if he was holding a script, reading out his experiences word by word.

Obito couldn't help but think that if his master had already figured out the secret of the clan leader who always considered himself mysterious...

Wouldn't they be so anxious that they wouldn't even be able to eat barbecue anymore, and it would be completely overcooked?

However, Obito's perspective was too narrow; he underestimated the complex bond between Madara and his successor, the man of his youthful will. Long ago, Madara felt he was engaging in a game of chess with Hiruzen Sarutobi from afar, though neither had explicitly stated it. In Hiruzen's view, Madara's decision to bring Obito back to the village was, in a sense, a way for Madara to further reveal his identity to him… to test his attitude as Hokage!

After all, with Hiruzen Sarutobi countering every move, Madara's recognition of Konoha is probably gradually increasing.

Furthermore, Madara received considerable respect in the bulletin boards of the Ninja Academy and the village...

The Uchiha clan is also doing well, and with Izuna inside Tobirama, there's now Hashirama as well.

There are various factors at play here.

But this person has an extremely difficult personality; he can't just come back without a legitimate reason, can he? However, the things he's done are difficult to explain from a public perspective…

The only one we can handle is Hiruzen Sarutobi.

So rather than saying that Obito was released, it would be more accurate to say that Madara took a step back: "Hiruzen, I still need to test you. The battle between Infinite Tsukuyomi and the Will of Fire is not over yet!"

"But you've done alright now, so I'm sending you back a Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha, along with six Kage and the promising talents I've nurtured for you..." "Think about it, if you win in the end, how am I supposed to get back to Konoha?"

This request is somewhat demanding, but it's quite a ninja-like situation.

Even for Hiruzen Sarutobi, this logic and requirement made it difficult for him to help Madara with Madoka, but ever since Kaguya reminded him that Madara seemed to be possessed by another entity, these matters now have the perfect solution…

The False Darkness of the Ninja World, the King of the Pot: Tobirama and Danzo.

The one who truly bears everything: The anomaly in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, Isshiki Otsutsuki!

"You knew, you really did know!"

Obito was utterly at a loss for words to express his admiration for Hiruzen Sarutobi: "You guessed everything! Your analytical skills are even stronger than Tomie's Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Just as the clan chief said…

People who know how to use their brains are always invincible!

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly.

He guessed it by sheer luck, using techniques like controlling variables and quantitative analysis…

"Obito, you might be wondering why I was so lenient with Madara Uchiha, even letting him take Tobirama's place, when I was Tobirama's student..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned serious, and he pointed to the stone tablet:

"This stone tablet was passed down by the immortals. Some of its contents can only be seen after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, while others can only be discovered after reaching a certain level of understanding of chakra."

Actually, there was no mention of Yishi on the stone tablet of the Sage of Six Paths.

But Black Zetsu can change the content, so why can't Naruto?

He said if he can see it, he can see it; after all, it's something displayed in his office…

Obito listened seriously to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

He seemed to sense that the big one was coming...

"The reason Madara broke with Hashirama and was so obsessive is because he was possessed by some evil sage and became a vessel for reincarnation." "Sages do exist."

"The so-called Sage will use chakra to imbue Madara Uchiha's mind with his own, and eventually it is very likely that he will transform it into his own image, thereby achieving the resurrection of a mutant."

"Similar to the 'Reincarnation of the Undead' technique recorded in the Book of Seals."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice."

These words sent a shiver down Kaguya's spine.

It's one thing that the various White Zetsu developed by the ninja world have surpassed her army...

How come they even managed to replicate the core mechanism of the Otsutsuki clan, the "Karma"?

Regardless of whether it's a youth version or not, the very concept of it is terrifying...

Is she the progenitor of chakra in this ninja world, or is it this group of ninjas who don't understand the true meaning of chakra?

Why does she seem so outdated...?

"My vessel wouldn't know that I can actually possess him, would it?"

"No, it seems unlikely that I could possess him. His constitution is too strange. My wisp of consciousness and chakra within him is almost the same as being inside the rebellious son's Six Paths Planetary Devastation..."

"It's simply impossible to utilize its full potential."

Kaguya sadly discovered that she seemed to have mistakenly entered one seal from another.

The good news is that she can at least communicate with Hiruzen Sarutobi, trying to use her extraordinary wisdom and strategy to see if she can win over an ally…

"Wouldn't the clan leader be in great danger?"

Obito said excitedly, "Hokage-sama, we have to save him! We have to tell him!"

"Obito, the first thing you need to do is stay calm."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Obito a stern look, his tone harsh.

Obito immediately quieted down and nodded obediently, "I'm sorry, Master..."

"Given Madara Uchiha's personality, if you tell him that his mind is being controlled, he will see it as an insult to his dignity and will definitely be extremely angry..."

"Such intense emotional fluctuations will actually give the 'sage' hidden within him an opportunity to further accelerate the process of possession." "Besides, the 'sage' isn't someone to be trifled with; he won't be so easily detected. Words are not enough; we need real evidence," Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said.

"Grandmaster, how did you know? Was it from this stone tablet?"

Obito asked with great curiosity.

"I have my own intelligence network. You'll understand when you become Hokage," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, waving his hand and raising an eyebrow. Obito obediently said "Oh," and didn't ask any more questions.

Obito was aware that the Hokage's secret codes were indeed off-limits to him.

However, Obito was still very curious about just how terrifying his master's intelligence network was...

Even the sages and immortals in the distant mountain graveyards can be detected!

Obito couldn't help but think that even if someone told him now that the Sage of Six Paths was also part of his master's intelligence network, he might believe it... His master was too mysterious; even the Mangekyou Sharingan couldn't see through him.

It was enough that Obito's heart could feel the temperature of the Hokage's Will of Fire.

and…

Obito astutely grasped a key point…

Hiruzen Sarutobi just said that he might become Hokage in the future!

I know about your situation.

"I will give you a Root token. From now on, you will be my direct subordinate in the Shadow Guard, Obito."

"After you return to the village, people will definitely ask you about everything that has happened over the past year. These matters must be kept strictly confidential and absolutely cannot be leaked." "You only need to tell them that you reported to me. Everything is directly under my control. I will specially sign my name on the token at the root, do you understand what I mean?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly.

Obito nodded repeatedly, but his thoughts quickly drifted far away.

I go!

A token personally signed by the Grandmaster? And from the Root!

It has a bit of a "Naruto-themed, no-holds-barred" feel to it...

Or a shadow guard!

Obito couldn't help but imagine a scene: Kakashi leaning in and asking him what he'd been doing for the past year, Obito coldly unfolding the token: "Kid, don't ask questions you shouldn't..."

This is so incredibly fun!

It can only be said that even though he had awakened Kamui and possessed extraordinary skills, Obito still focused all his energy on Kakashi, wanting to see the cold-faced kid look at him with shock...

This is my favorite.

"As for Madara Uchiha's side..."

"You can go back and visit him from time to time, bring him some local specialties from Konoha, or tell him some unimportant information. If you're unsure about this, you can tell me..."

"The key is to stabilize Madara's emotions and prevent his self-awareness from being severely conflicted. As for the Sage within him, I will find a way to deal with it, Obito."

Give me time.

"Madara founded Konoha and sealed the evil Sage with his own body. He is a hero of Konoha and even the ninja world. I will personally bring him back to the village..." "Even if it means breaking his arms and destroying the Sage inside him, I will do it."

"In the name of the Will of Fire."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice."

Obito was startled by what he heard.

He discovered that, in terms of intense emotions, his grandmaster seemed to be no less impressive than the great clan leader…

It is intense yet stable.

Obito nodded vigorously: "I understand, Master!"

"Oh, right..."

"The fact that Madara let you go means that your relationship with him seems to be quite harmonious..."

"But knowing you as I do, with Madara's temper and personality, how could you actually do that? Did one of the previous Kage from the Scarlet Organization guide you?"

"I asked Sarutobi Hiruzen curiously."

Obito's eyes widened; he felt as if his master had seen through everything about him!

Even when Obito met Madara's Rinnegan, he never felt this way...

Is this what Naruto is like?

Kaguya watched as Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly dissected Obito's secrets one by one with logic, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper as she wondered how he managed to do it.

Is this some kind of technique?

Damn it, I really want to learn...

Kaguya couldn't help but think how satisfying it would be if she had Hiruzen Sarutobi's logic and eloquence, and could have easily defeated the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura, those two rebellious sons, and given them a thorough critique...

It's a pity she's really bad at talking; she can't even manage a sentence longer than fifteen words...

"Uh, I really forgot!"

Obito then remembered that Mr. Hiruzen had asked him if he could mention his existence to Hiruzen Sarutobi if he had the chance, paving the way for Hiruzen's transfer to Konoha...

"There is a White Zetsu..."

"His name is Ah Huo, and he's a very capable person!"

"It has read Lord Hiruko's biography, Lord Hizashi's notes, and has also studied many of your articles and the contents of Konoha's system in depth. Now it has all the authority over White Zetsu..."

"Mr. Ah-Hua is very fond of Konoha. It was on his advice that I got along so well with the clan leader. He has always been very protective of me..." Obito kept praising Ah-Hua in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"It really wants to become a Konoha ninja!"

Now it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's turn to be surprised.

If he's not mistaken, White Zetsu are probably some kind of immature Hashirama clone...

Could he possibly become Obito's strategist step by step through learning?

It sounds like they even gained Madara Uchiha's trust and did a lot of work for him!

Are there any other special White Zetsu?

Hiruzen Sarutobi pressed for an answer.

"Anything else? Tobi is quite special; he's known as the Child of the Divine Tree, and he knows powerful Wood Release, so I can use it too..." Obito pondered seriously:

"There's another black Zetsu that looks very special. It seems to be a creation of some kind of Yin-Yang Release technique. I heard from other White Zetsu that it used to be the steward of the clan leader, but was later replaced by Ah-Huo..."

Kaguya was taken aback. This sounded like her third son, Black Zetsu!

no…

Black Zetsu couldn't even compete with a regular White Zetsu?

Does the Will of Fire also have the effect of enlightening the mind?

At this moment, Kaguya couldn't help but develop a strong interest in the Will of Fire...

What kind of magical thing is this?

Able to turn the rotten into the miraculous…

As for what to do with Black Zetsu, Kaguya also wanted to contact it, but it seemed there wasn't a good solution at the moment, so she could only take it one step at a time... "Ah-Huo? Is that the name it gave itself?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

"Yes, Grandmaster."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, and said thoughtfully:

"Obito, from now on you will be the secret communication bridge between Konoha and Madara. If there is any situation involving Madara and the Scarlet Organization, you must report to me immediately..." "I understand about this Ah-Hai matter."

"Here's what we'll do: I have a few copies of my daily government directives here. I'll have the secret service make copies later. Since Ah Huo is interested, let him take a look and give me some feedback and suggestions."

"Tell it that if it's interested, it can come and talk to me. I'd love to see it."

Obito laughed from the bottom of his heart.

I'm happy for Ah Huo...

Has he finally been recognized by the Hokage?

But I also wanted to see Ah Huo's expression, since he was the only one whose true feelings had been exposed, and it was a bit complicated for him...

Obito didn't even mention it, but his master actually brought it up!

Obito couldn't wait to join Hiruzen in praising Hiruzen Sarutobi's power...

Regarding fan gatherings.

"Um…"

"Recently, several geniuses have arrived at the Ninja Academy, namely Yamato, who was raised by Lord Mito, Itachi, Fugaku's eldest son, and Kabuto, Orochimaru's apprentice. They are all very outstanding talents."

"Minato's son Naruto and Fugaku's second son Sasuke have both displayed talents beyond their years..."

"Obito, you must take up Minato's mantle. After all, you're his student..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled as he drew his sword, Teruhime: "We need to put a little pressure on these geniuses to motivate them to strive for excellence, but don't overdo it..."

Obito's eyes lit up.

oops…

The day has finally come!

The evil blond-haired man has now gone to the Konoha Committee (this is a reference to a political figure) to cultivate...

As his apprentice, it is indeed reasonable for Dong to take over this mantle!

Obito couldn't resist the urge to use his dual Kamui abilities to play around with these ninja academy geniuses. Just thinking about the pressure he once felt on the faces of the new generation of ninja academy elites made him want to laugh...

All I can say is that if Madara Tomoshiki and Obito had shown this much mediocrity after they awakened their Sharingan, they would probably have fainted from anger.

The Dual Kamui is for you to show off to Kakashi, use as a storage room, and for the Ninja Academy students to use, right?

Even if we don't talk about Infinite Tsukuyomi, we should at least have some high aspirations!

But this is the happiest thing Obito could imagine...

Hiruzen Sarutobi chatted with Obito for a while longer, and after he left, the Hokage stretched.

I sighed and tried to compose myself for a while.

He then picked up the various reports.

Some were about post-war compensation, others about the construction of the supply belt between the Mist and Leaf regions, and still others about further instructions and funding applications for puppetry and dragon vein research in the Loulan region.

Hiruzen Sarutobi patiently reviewed each document.

"The pace of information technology implementation is even more rapid than I expected..."

"Is this already a basic prototype?"

"However, this dragon vein actually has obvious spatiotemporal characteristics, and there are even unusual phenomena?" Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his brows and made a bold comment on the key fishing spot in the Loulan region.

We require special attention and focused efforts on addressing the root causes of pollution…

Kaguya silently watched as Hiruzen Sarutobi handled government affairs.

After a long pause, he couldn't help but ask Shi, "Why? Why are you so insistent on taking care of these trivial matters? How can they possibly help you?"

The document in Sarutobi Hitachi's Tokugawa clan naturally answered the question:

"Most of them really didn't help me much, but I don't expect them to make outstanding contributions. I just want them to do what they're supposed to do and live their lives earnestly."

"If everyone does this, we can create a relaxed, pleasant, and positive atmosphere in Konoha."

"This atmosphere is like fertile soil, which will quickly transform ordinary ninjas into extraordinary figures, inspiring their creativity and their will to protect the ninja world..."

Have you ever planted a tree?

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought, based on Kaguya's past strange remarks, to offer a down-to-earth analogy:

"The ninjas are the saplings, and I am the gardener."

"It takes time for a seed to grow into a big tree. What I need to do is nurture these saplings so they can grow up. Once they're grown, I can relax and enjoy the shade under their trees..."

"I believe they will become very strong, so while I can still do something, I will do my best to protect this precious nursery..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

Kaguya listened in silence.

She felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi had already said all her lines...

Tree planting, nurseries...

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had claimed to be an Otsutsuki, Kaguya might have already believed him!

In the past, Kaguya looked down on the ninja world, thinking that the ninjas didn't know how to use chakra.
