Chapter 45: Hiruzen's Guess
Although he had seen some vague words on the clan's stone tablet, when Fugaku really got the exact answer from Zhang Miao, he inevitably fell into shock and contemplation.
"So the conditions of obtaining Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan are so cruel..."
If the awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan was stimulated by the loss of an important people, then awakening the Eternal Mangekyo meant encouraging families to kill each other!
As an experienced person, Fugaku was knew very well that for the sake of power, many people could do anything!
This also made him more worried about the future of the Uchiha clan.
"Is this clan really a cursed? Then, how can I save the Uchiha clan?"
When Fugaku was worried about his clan, Hiruzen, who had just returned to Konoha, also frowned after hearing Fukuro's report.
"What? You said that Ryunosuke is now with the Uchiha clan?"
"Yes, Sandaime-sama!"
Facing Hiruzen, Fukuro did not dare to hide anything and answered honestly.
"Ryunosuke has a good relationship with Uchiha Fugaku's eldest son, Itachi. Since a few days ago, he went to Fugaku's mansion every afternoon and only came back in the evening!"
"Every afternoon?" "Apart from the Fugaku family, who else is in contact with Ryunosuke?" Hiruzen frowned.
"Uh..."
Hearing Hiruzen's question, Fukuro suddenly thought for a moment and then spoke again.
"There's this ninja called Might Wuy. It is said that he is the younger brother of Might Duy, but there is no information about him at the archives. Also, when I first saw him, I heard him address Ryunosuke as his "Master"."
"Oh? Addressing Ryunosuke as his Master?"
Hiruzen also realized that this "Master" title was not simple. He frowned, then picked up his pipe and took a deep breath, spitting out a long string of smoke.
"How is this person's strength?"
Fukuro did not hesitate about this question, especially when it came to Wuy's heavy kick that could knock him out in an instant. He still remembered it deeply.
Therefore, as soon as Hiruzen finished speaking, he immediately gave an answer.
"In terms of taijutsu alone, his strength is not inferior to the captain of our Anbu team!"
As an elite of the Anbu, Fukuro was quite confident in his own strength. He believed that other than the captain of the Anbu, no one else could kill him in a few seconds.
After hearing Fukuro's words, Hiruzen's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled deeper, and he secretly pondered in his heart.
"Now that the Third War has just ended, there's this really strong ninja, but there is no information about him at the archives. Then he should not be from the five major countries, but he is calls Ryunosuke his master... Is this person also something left behind by Minato?"
In Hiruzen's view, as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, it was not difficult for Minato to leave some backups for his son.
Especially after sealing the Kyubi, the bodies of Minato and Kushina suddenly disappeared, which also proved that Minato did have a backup plan.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen looked at Fukuro again.
"After he came to Konoha, who else has he come into contact with other than Ryunosuke? What does he usually do?"
At this time, Hiruzen was basically sure that this person was the backup left behind by Minato. Now he asked this question just to prove his own judgment.
Hearing Hiruzen's question, Fukuro thought for a moment and answered again.
"Except for Ryunosuke and Naruto,"
This Wuy had the most contact with a young man called Guy. Every day, apart from protecting Ryunosuke, he would take Guy to the training ground outside the village to train. Other than that, he had no contact with anyone else!
Fukuro's words undoubtedly proved Hiruzen's guess, so his expression eased a little, and then he nodded to Fukuro.
"Well, I understand. You continue to monitor this matter of Wuy. Go and call Kakashi over!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Fukuro quickly agreed and then left. Not long after, there was another knock on the door.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!"
As soon as Hiruzen finished speaking, Kakashi, who was dressed in the Anbu equipment, came in from outside the door.
"Hokage-sama, are you looking for me?"
"Yeah!"
Looking at Kakashi entering the door, Hiruzen nodded with his pipe and slowly opened his mouth.
"Kakashi, you and Ryunosuke are the closest. I want to know if he has told you something special, such as his parents or family."
"About that..." Hearing Hiruzen's words, Kakashi hesitated, but in the end, he shook his head. "No! He didn't tell me anything!"
Seeing Kakashi deny it, the expression on Hiruzen's face immediately softened a bit. He stood up from his seat first, and then slowly walked in front of Kakashi.
"Kakashi, actually, I know the background of Ryunosuke and Naruto. Moreover, I also promised their mother that I would take good care of them. The reason why I called you here is to find out one thing. Is Ryunosuke already aware of his background?"
In Hiruzen's opinion, if this Wuy was a backup left behind by Minato, then Zhang Miao must know his identity.
And as a disciple of Minato himself, Kakashi was so close to Zhang Miao that he must know something.
However, looking at Kakashi's normal look, Hiruzen also knew that if he did not take out some "dry goods", there was no way to make this suspicious boy speak.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen suddenly held a pipe in one hand and patted Kakashi on the shoulder with the other.
"Ryunosuke and Naruto are the sons of the Fourth Hokage. You should know this, right? Kakashi!"
"Uh..."
Hearing Hiruzen directly reveal Zhang Miao's identity, Kakashi immediately raised his head and looked at Hiruzen, his eyes full of surprise.
Looking at him like this, Hiruzen already had an answer in his heart, and he immediately nodded.
"Well, I already know. Go and call Ryunosuke. Tell him that I want to see him!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Kakashi immediately agreed and left.
However, when he walked to the door, he seemed to think of something and immediately turned to Hiruzen.
Seeing Kakashi's actions, Hiruzen immediately raised his head in confusion.
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes!" Kakashi immediately nodded, then took out a handful of Kunai from his bosom and handed it to Hiruzen, "This is Minato sensei's Flying Thunder God Kunai. It was Ryunosuke who gave it to me!"
Looking at the three-pronged Kunai on Kakashi's hand that had the words "Sword of Shinobi's Love" written on its handle, Hiruzen's eyes immediately revealed a bit of surprise, but he immediately recovered and then nodded to Kakashi.
"Well, I know. Since this is your teacher's thing and Ryunosuke gave it to you, you can keep it. Well, continue your mission!"
"Yes!"
Kakashi agreed and turned to leave the office. After he left, Hiruzen suddenly showed a helpless smile.
"Is this kid reminding me not to forget the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage for the village? What a suspicious and emotional boy!"
