Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 95 Response

"First, we need to investigate who leaked the information..."

A murderous glint flashed in Minato's eyes, and his tone, devoid of its usual sunny and gentle manner, was filled with a cold and ruthless aura!

The production time and location of Kushina are top secrets of Konoha, and very few people know about them. How could an outsider possibly know?

Either there's a spy lurking inside, or there's a traitor!

"We should investigate this thoroughly, even tonight!"

"If we act quickly enough, we might be able to follow the clues and gather more information, then set up an ambush to wipe out those with ill intentions!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a chilling tone.

"On my way here, I already arranged for my secret agents to interrogate those who had inside information."

"The Dark Division alone is not enough; add the Torture Division as well."

"this……"

"This is a matter of great importance; do not be soft-hearted!"

"All right."

The addition of the interrogation department means it's no longer just a routine investigation; it also involves using interrogation techniques to investigate whether suspects are lying...

Torture ninjutsu is no fun. Although the ninjas in the torture department are careful with their methods, it is still torture for suspects.

"We need to investigate not only the medical ninja who examined Kushina, but also the people Kushina interacts with daily."

"But these people don't know Kushina's due date, let alone where she will give birth..."

That being said, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

"The interrogation department's ninjas don't need to get involved with them; let the ANBU conduct a routine investigation."

"That would be acceptable."

"Third Hokage, I plan to send more ANBU ninjas to protect Kushina on the day she gives birth, and to change the birthing location."

No one can control the date of Naruto's birth; it's up to fate to decide when he wants to be born. However, the place of birth can be controlled.

"This is only to be expected."

"Furthermore, I would like to ask Lord Sandai to come with me."

"This...isn't it a bit inconvenient?"

"You're an elder, and you're staying outside; what's inconvenient about it?"

"With you here, I can not only better protect Kushina and Lady Sarutobi, but also help me subdue and kill the enemy!"

"If the intelligence is true, then the enemy's capabilities are quite troublesome."

"Oh well."

"In that case, I'll head back now."

"Um."

The next moment, Minato's figure disappeared from the room, instantly returning to his home using the Flying Thunder God seal.

Kushina, who had been waiting, came forward and asked Minato a question.

To ease Kushina's mind, Minato explained his plan and asked about the people Kushina usually associated with.

For her own sake, for her child's sake, and for the safety of Konoha, Kushina spoke without reservation.

Because Kakashi and Mikoto Uchiha were involved, Minato personally went out again.

As for Kakashi, Minato plans to handle it personally.

It was just a formality; Minato wouldn't believe Kakashi was a spy or a traitor.

In the original story, Kakashi recounted Kushina's impending childbirth at the memorial stone, while Obito watched from the side.

However, judging from the pictures or animations, the distance is quite far. Unless Obito has a ninjutsu similar to the ability to hear the wind, it would be impossible for him to hear what Kakashi is saying.

It's impossible to get information through lip reading. Even if Obito knew how to read lips, which is a highly technical skill, he still wouldn't be able to get information.

Because Obito was on Kakashi's side, not in front, only the side profile of his face could be seen.

As for Mikoto Uchiha, Minato Namikaze planned to send his student Shisui Uchiha, as it would be inappropriate for other Anbu members to go.

It wasn't just because Uchiha Mikoto was the wife of the Uchiha clan leader, but also because Uchiha Mikoto was his wife's best friend and his best female friend.

Mikoto Uchiha did know that Kushina Uzumaki was about to give birth, but she didn't know the exact time or the location of the birth.

In fact, Obito was able to learn the specific details of Kushina's production entirely thanks to White Zetsu.

Not only are there a considerable number of White Zetsu, but their mobility, stealth, and transformation abilities are also quite formidable, making them top-tier tools for stealing intelligence!

After taking care of everything, Minato went home to rest.

Although his heart was heavy, Minato Namikaze, who had spent many years in war, fell asleep soon after.

Meanwhile, the ANBU ninjas and the interrogation ninjas have taken control of a considerable number of people and are screening them overnight.

After receiving the summons late at night, Uchiha Shisui suppressed his shock and went to visit his clan head's family that very night.

Zhi Shui's late-night visit woke up the whole family, and the idiot Er Lengzi, who was awakened, burst into tears...

Fugaku wasn't good at comforting children, and Mikoto didn't have time to do it, so the task of comforting the children fell to Itachi.

Itachi was quite adept at soothing children, and Sasuke soon stopped crying and fell asleep peacefully.

The review process was not complicated; it was just that Shisui, on behalf of the Hokage, asked a few questions, mainly because Uchiha Mikoto was not a suspect.

In this world, there is no such thing as "beware of fire, theft, and best friends." If they are truly good friends, you don't have to worry about them being sold off.

Furthermore, the Uchiha clan had no reason to betray Konoha.

Even if it really was Madara Uchiha, when Madara Uchiha left Konoha, not a single member of the Uchiha clan followed him, which already meant they had severed ties with Madara Uchiha.

Now that the Uchiha clan has a Hokage disciple, the gap between them and the village is gradually decreasing, and their future is bright. Only a fool would get involved with someone who harbors ill intentions towards Konoha...

After asking the questions and confirming that there were no problems, Shisui left.

Although they knew there must be some hidden story, Fugaku and Mikoto wisely refrained from asking further questions.

The next day at work, Minato Namikaze inquired about the review results.

The results showed that neither the informed medical ninjas nor Kushina's acquaintances exhibited any abnormalities.

This left Minato utterly puzzled.

There were no abnormalities, so how was the intelligence leaked?

Unable to figure it out after thinking for a long time, Minato had no choice but to put it aside and focus on dealing with the mountain of tasks piling up.

On the evening of October 10th, deep in the forest near the Konoha Memorial Monument, Obito, dressed in a black hooded robe and wearing a white mask with black patterns, sat casually on a tree trunk with one leg dangling.

The next moment, a white Zetsu emerged halfway up the tree trunk where Obito was standing.

"Obito, the situation has changed."

"Oh?" Obito tilted his head slightly.

"According to the information transmitted by his clones, the Fourth Hokage suddenly went out last night to look for the Third Hokage."

"That same night, a medical ninja who knew the time of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's birth was taken away for investigation. In addition, people who had a good relationship with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were also questioned."

"I spent a whole day investigating and found that the birthplace of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has changed."

"The number of ANBU ninjas guarding the site has increased several times, and the Third Hokage is also personally guarding the production site."

"Although I hate to admit it, your plan seems to have been exposed..."

"Hahaha……"

After laughing loudly, Obito said, word by word, "No~ possible, absolutely~ impossible!"

"Besides myself, only you and Black Zetsu know about my plan. How could it possibly have been leaked?"

"Um?"

Suddenly remembering something, Obito let out a soft snort, then stared intently at White Zetsu.

"Could it be that you told your clone, and then your clone ran into trouble?"

"How could I possibly tell those idiots?"

Bai Jue shook his head and said, "In addition, all my clones are intact, and no one has discovered their existence."

"Um?"

"That's strange."

Obito rubbed his chin, his slightly ferocious face beneath the mask filled with confusion.

"Didn't you send your clone to find out why those people were being investigated?"
