Chapter 109 Hidden crisis!
On the other side, the Konoha Ninja Village looked lively and celebrating.
After twenty days of negotiations, Kirigakure finally backed down and no longer demanded the return of the tailed beasts, but only demanded the return of the seven ninja swords.
So Konoha returned all the ninja swords except the decapitating sword and the thunder sword fan.
As for the decapitating sword and thunder sword fang, Kakashi insisted that he had never seen them and did not know.
In the end, Kirigakure had no choice but to let it go.
After the Iwagakure and Kirigakure villages retreated one after another, the Fourth Raikage, who failed to benefit from Orochimaru and Rasa, could only retreat reluctantly.
However, before leaving, they retrieved the body of the Third Raikage.
So, ten days ago, the Konoha ninja troops returned victorious like heroes.
The third generation first held a memorial service and led the whole village to mourn all the ninjas who died heroically on the battlefield.
Then the commendation meeting started, and major commendations were given to the representatives who made great contributions in the war!
Then began a celebration that lasted for half a month to dilute the pain of the villagers' relatives passing away and celebrate this hard-won peace!
Speaking of which, during the commendation meeting, as the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku's achievements were passed by in passing, while Obito's achievements were fully publicized.
In the process of commending Obito, the third generation did not forget to mention many times that it was Minato who taught him well.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was building momentum for Minato.
As for Minato's own achievements, they were even talked about by the third generation.
For a moment, everyone present's admiration for Minato reached a climax!
Of course, when Danzo heard this, his face was as gloomy as water and he clenched his teeth.
Especially when the third generation announced that he would abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, and recommended Minato Namikaze to the Fire Nation's daimyo to succeed him as Hokage, Danzo's face turned dark!
If this ceremony had not been of great significance, he might have thrown up his sleeves and left on the spot!
"So, Minato-sensei, are you going to become Hokage soon?"
At Minato's house, Obito confirmed again and again.
Since the third Hokage announced this in public nine days ago.
Obito, who had the dream of being Hokage, was completely excited. He ran to Minato's house and pestered Minato about becoming Hokage.
"Obito, you've asked me this eight hundred times!"
Kakashi on the side was speechless.
It's not like you are Hokage, why are you so excited?
"Aren't I afraid that the cooked duck will fly!"
"Everyone says that becoming Hokage requires the consent of the daimyo and a vote by all jounin!"
Obito replied immediately.
Good guy!
Unexpectedly, Kenji Uchiha, who was famous in the ninja school, immediately became more intelligent and learned to use proverbs when encountering things related to Naruto.
Sure enough, interest is the best teacher.
"Well, just based on Minato-sensei's reputation, he will definitely be elected with a high vote, so just be rest assured!"
Kakashi said helplessly, and then he immediately changed the subject.
"By the way, has your security department investigated the inexplicable death of Elder Setsuna Uchiha, his wife, and two daughters-in-law seven days ago?"
"not yet!"
When Obito heard this, his expression became serious.
Since his return, Fugaku has used his powers as minister and clan leader to directly promote Obito to deputy minister of the security department and deputy clan leader of the Uchiha.
Although it is only an honorary position, he has no real power and does not need to be in charge.
But after all, it was a major event involving the murder of a clan elder, and Obito was particularly concerned about it.
"I also watched the scene. It was strange. Elder Setsuna and his wife showed no signs of resistance. It was as if they were willing to be killed by the other party."
"As for his two daughters-in-law, they seemed ready to resist, but they were fatally struck by the other party."
Are you willing to be killed?
Could it be that an acquaintance committed the crime?
Kakashi was moved. This was the first time he heard the details of the case.
"Obito, what about his two sons? Since he has a daughter-in-law, he must have sons, right?"
Kakashi then asked.
"Hey, there are no more."
"Elder Setsuna's two sons were ambushed while fighting Kirigakure. They are still alive and dead."
"Kirigakure also flatly denied capturing him, so he has been judged as a sacrifice by the village."
When Obito said this, he felt a little sad.
The good family of six was just gone.
"Obito, send Minato-sensei and I into the Kamui space. I suspect there is something wrong with this."
Kakashi said quietly.
"okay."
Seeing that Minato-sensei had no objection, Obito immediately activated his divine power.
Ever since Obito possessed Kamui, whenever Kakashi wanted to talk about some confidential topic, he would ask Obito to send them in, so Obito had developed a habit.
"Kakashi, you want to say that Elder Setsuna's death is related to his two sons, right?"
In the Kamui space, before Kakashi could speak, Minato was the first to point out what was on his mind.
As expected of Minato-sensei, he is always so sharp!
Kakashi sighed inwardly.
"Yes, Mr. Minato, I suspect that the disappearance of those two people was arranged by Uchiha Madara."
"what?!"
Obito on the side heard this and immediately exclaimed!
He would always remember Uchiha Madara's trick on him.
Now that I heard that the other party actually has a back-up plan, how could we not be surprised!
"Yes, I have the same guess as you."
Minato nodded slightly and analyzed calmly.
"Whether it's the timing of the disappearance or the mysterious deaths of Elder Setsuna's family, they all point to a clear purpose."
At this point, Minato and Kakashi looked at each other.
"To activate, the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"This, this, this, how is this possible!"
Obito was shocked when he heard this.
He was kind-hearted and could not understand that someone could take the initiative to kill his parents and lover in order to turn on the kaleidoscope!
That is the person closest to me!
If everyone is dead, what's the point of turning on the kaleidoscope?
"Uchiha Setsuna...Why does this name sound so familiar?"
At this moment, Kakashi groaned in a low voice.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and asked quickly:
"Obito, what is Elder Setsuna's attitude towards the village?"
"Elder Setsuna is a hardliner in the village. He was imprisoned by the security department for following Madara's footsteps and inciting the tribe to rebel!"
Since being promoted by Fugaku, Obito has also learned a lot of secrets within the clan.
Following in Madara's footsteps?
That’s right!
Kakashi figured everything out in an instant.
Elder Setsuna's thoughts must have affected his sons, and when his two sons see the real Uchiha Madara, they will probably become fanatical followers on the spot!
After all, Madara's level of brainwashing is among the best in the ninja world!
"Minato-sensei, it seems we are destined to fight for the ones we love!"
Kakashi looked at Minato-sensei seriously.
"Well, I understand what you mean."
"However, if soldiers come to block it, water will come to cover it. If the other party really dares to attack, I will take the lead and repel it!"
Minato-sensei was firm in his commitment.
How could he not know about Madara's plan?
Once the opponent attacks, they will definitely target Kushina and Lin!
"Then you must count me in!"
At this moment, Obito, who finally figured everything out, spoke quickly.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
