Chapter 73 Hiruzen Sarutobi: I understand, the masked man is Kagami Uchiha!
The moment the yellow swirling mask and the single Sharingan appeared before everyone, the identity of this mysterious person who stole the Book of Seals became very clear.
He was Tobi, the masked man who appeared on the battlefield with the man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara.
Hello~!
He then opened his arms wide, shouted "Hello," and began to twist his body in a bizarre manner.
"How about that? Didn't expect it to be me, did you? Surprised? Unexpected, right?"
"hooligan!"
With Bunta's help, Jiraiya, along with Tsunade and Orochimaru, arrived outside the village.
"What exactly do you want to do! Why did you steal the Book of Seals from Konoha?"
"For what? For fun, of course! And to give your Konoha a warning: you'd better withdraw your troops still in the Land of Rain as soon as possible, or you'll regret it."
As he spoke, Tetsuya gave Tsunade a meaningful look.
He had warned them before to evacuate the people of Konoha from the Land of Rain as soon as possible, but some people from Konoha did not evacuate, and Kato Dan was among them.
Judging by the timeline, Tsunade's first love is also nearing his death.
As for why he repeatedly reminded them to withdraw their troops, it wasn't because he was overflowing with compassion and wanted to save more people.
He just wanted to see if he and Tsunade would end up together if Kato Dan came back alive.
If Tsunade became a married woman, would Jiraiya still like her? Or would he like her even more?
Tsunade, a married woman, tsk tsk tsk, seems like a plus, hahaha.
"Sharingan, you're also from the Uchiha clan, aren't you!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tetsuya and asked.
"Your Uchiha clan are also part of the village, why did you do this! Do you know that doing this will cause your clan members to be criticized in the village!"
"Hehe, monkey, are you trying to morally blackmail me?"
Tetsuya dropped his joking tone, and a dangerous red light emanated from one of his Sharingan eyes.
"You've changed, haven't you? Have you been Hokage for too long and turned from a ninja into a politician? That's disgusting."
The current Hiruzen Sarutobi is completely different from the Hiruzen Sarutobi I saw in the noodle shop back then, or the Hiruzen Sarutobi when he first became Hokage.
He used to think Hiruzen Sarutobi was a decent person, but now he gives off an uncomfortable vibe.
Is this the change that power brings? It makes a passionate person arrogant and unpleasant.
"I didn't mean that. I was just reminding you that you also have the Sharingan, and you're an Uchiha, aren't you!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned; just a moment ago, many thoughts had flashed through his mind.
He calls himself a monkey, which means that this person knew him before, and the relationship between him and the person who calls himself a monkey is generally quite good.
He also said that he had changed, that after being Hokage for so long, he had transformed from a ninja into a politician, so this person was very likely someone he knew before he became Hokage.
Moreover, a Sharingan in one eye, Uchiha...
Could it be that...?
"Mirror! Is that you, Uchiha Mirror!"
"what!"
The three Sannin above Bunta's head all looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
This mysterious Tobi is actually Uchiha Kagami, who's the same generation as the old man?!
But, isn't Uchiha Kagami already dead? He didn't even make it back from the first battle!
Tetsuya paused upon hearing this.
Wait, what's with this Hiruzen Sarutobi? Does he think he's Kagami Uchiha?
In what way do I resemble Uchiha Kagami?
Wait, it seems like I can use this alias myself too.
Wait a minute, let me think about it.
Uchiha Kagami, Shimura Danzo, and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
I see!
In just a moment, Tetsuya had already come up with the script.
Sorry, Obi-kun, your script is mine now.
While Tetsuya was pondering, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing Tetsuya standing there without reacting, immediately felt that he must have guessed correctly, because only if he had guessed correctly would the other party react this way.
Just as he was about to say something, Tetsuya took a deep breath and replied.
"Uchiha Kagami is dead! He died on the battlefield, you chose him!"
Tetsuya practically shouted the last sentence.
As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"There's no such thing as Uchiha Kagami anymore. My name is Tobi! My name is Tobi, do you understand?"
As he spoke, he quickly formed a hand seal.
"Lightning Release: Chaotic Lightning Technique!"
In an instant, a chaotic barrage of lightning struck down from the sky.
"Everyone be careful!"
Jiraiya immediately used ninjutsu to cover everyone.
"Old man!"
After the ninjutsu was activated, Jiraiya discovered that his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, showed no intention of defending himself.
Thunder roared wildly, explosions erupted everywhere, and smoke billowed.
But the violent thunder soon subsided.
"Alright, Jiraiya, he's already gone."
"Old man, what exactly is going on?"
The three Sannin, seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's complicated expression, were all curious about what was going on.
"Let's go back, we'll talk about it when we get back."
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt very tired.
At first, his teacher told him that Uchiha Izuna, whom he had killed with his own hands, had been resurrected. Although he trusted his teacher completely and remembered his words, how could the dead be resurrected? Although there was a forbidden technique left by his teacher that could achieve this, it wasn't a true resurrection.
Then, his disciple encountered the resurrected Uchiha Madara on the battlefield of the Land of Rain. Although his teacher had a previous experience with him, and his disciple spoke with great conviction, he was somewhat inclined to believe in the resurrection of the dead. However, he had not witnessed it with his own eyes.
But today was different. He actually saw Uchiha Kagami, who had already sacrificed himself on the battlefield. Although he was wearing a mask, his aura had changed.
Based on all the clues, there's no mistake, that masked man is Uchiha Kagami.
The dead are coming back to life one after another, and they are all Uchiha. There is probably a big problem behind these things.
Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, all the Konoha ninjas returned to the village to begin repairing the village walls and streets damaged in the battle, while also increasing patrols around the village.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned several of his old comrades for an emergency meeting.
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner unnoticed by anyone, one of the three teams from Kumogakure successfully kidnapped Kushina Uzumaki and smuggled her out of Konoha.
"Haha, this is really great, I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly."
"That's right. I didn't expect to encounter someone invading Konoha. With such a big commotion, the people of Konoha are probably all busy dealing with the invaders."
"We were already very discreet, so now no one will notice that Konoha is missing a kid."
All three of them were very happy, feeling that today was their lucky day.
