"Would you like to pay homage to Minato-sensei?"

Kakashi didn't know what he was thinking, so he murmured.

It is true that following Minato back then was an extremely reassuring time.

The young talent's death is the best interpretation of Minato's life.

It was obviously the most glorious moment in life, but I chose to say goodbye in a way that many people don't want to think about.

"Yes, by the way, I heard that Minato-sensei became the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Is this true?"

Obito remembered something and suddenly asked.

"Are you talking about Naruto? That kid's situation as a Jinchuuriki isn't very good."

Kakashi sighed.

He wanted to raise him, but unfortunately, even Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, could not get the custody rights of Naruto. Instead, he had no choice but to run away from Konoha and go to the outside of the village to avoid the limelight. He was just the captain of the AN department, so what?

What ability made the Third Hokage change his mind?

The Third Hokage has been running Konoha for decades. Even though his prestige has declined as his body ages, he is still the one and only presence in Konoha.

Danzo's root only dares to make some small moves in secret, and cannot compete with the Third Hokage on the table. Once the root has a tendency to show up, it will be suppressed by the ANBU.

The Third Hokage, who controls most of Konoha's ninja resources, can replenish the sacrificed ANBU personnel anytime and anywhere. This is a fundamental gap that is difficult to bridge.

No matter how much pressure the Roots tried to create, the right to adopt the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki was still firmly locked in the hands of the Third Hokage, and Danzo could not get a hold of it.

Not to mention that as the captain of the ANBU, once he made a request to raise the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the day would not be far away when he would be eliminated.

"What does the Third Generation think? I know a little bit about the situation of the Jinchuuriki, but if Naruto's identity as the son of the Hokage is made public, the situation should be much better."

Obito frowned.

Because of the instability of the tailed beast in his body, a jinchuriki would be rejected by the residents of the ninja village. This kind of thing is not a strange thing in the ninja world.

But Uzumaki Naruto is not an ordinary Jinchuuriki. His father is the fourth Hokage of Konoha, and his mother is a member of the Uzumaki clan. A ninja who has made great contributions to Konoha should not be treated so hastily and become a villager.

The target of hatred in the eyes.

"This kind of thing is impossible." Kakashi took out "Intimate Paradise" from his ninja tool bag, leaned his back against the wall, turned to the place where he left off and read it again, while saying to Obito: "Minato-sensei is here

The time is only one year, and there are very few old subordinates under my command, and most of them have been absorbed by the third generation now, including me. Because I saved Jiraiya, I have not been subject to unnecessary suspicion in these years, but the rest

It may not be true for people. Although Nara Shikaku was appointed as the Jonin squad leader, it was only because he relied on the Nara clan. It was an agreement between the Sarutobi clan and the Nara clan. In terms of trust... he is probably already in the third generation.

Watch out for the list.”

"The situation in Konoha is really complicated."

When he was in the Kingdom of Demons, Obito had learned about some of Konoha's situation, but now after listening to Kakashi's words, he realized that the discord within Konoha was far more serious than imagined.

"Without external pressure, the internal rule will naturally shake. After all, the third generation's energy is not as flexible as it used to be. The person who exposed the identity of Naruto's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was Danzo, and he wanted to use this to test the third generation.

The reaction of the third generation. After that, the awareness of root expansion became stronger and stronger, and now it has become one of the main targets of the third generation."

As for the other target to be wary of, Kakashi didn't mention it because it was Obito's mother clan - the Uchiha clan.

Due to the Nine-Tails Incident, the village's senior officials have become deeply wary of Uchiha.

This is something Kakashi only learned about after he became the captain of the ANBU.

Because the person responsible for monitoring Uchiha now is him.

Moreover, the number of internal Uchiha meetings has become more and more frequent recently. If this kind of thing is not stopped, the conflict between the top management of Konoha and the Uchiha clan will sooner or later turn into a head-on conflict.

By that time, the internal situation in Konoha will inevitably be turbulent.

Kakashi didn't know what the Third Hokage was thinking. He didn't believe that the Third Hokage, who had decades of experience in governing, couldn't see this hidden danger.

But allowing the Uchiha clan to be so indulged, and at the same time allowing the ANBU to intensify their surveillance... This was indeed a top-secret order personally given by the Third Hokage to the ANBU.

The past three generations of Hokage have always adopted a relatively mild policy toward the Uchiha clan, focusing on peaceful negotiations. This is the first time that such an over-the-top behavior of actively monitoring the Uchiha clan has occurred.

This is what Kakashi is puzzled about.

"It's really troublesome. Forget it, this is Konoha's own family matter. I, an outsider, am not qualified to comment on this."

Obito's feelings towards Konoha are very complicated.

In the past, he worked hard to achieve the goal of becoming the Hokage.

But at the moment when Lin died, he truly understood his heart.

The thing I cherish most has never been Naruto.

I just hope to get approval from a certain girl and let her control herself more.

Naruto is just an excuse for him to become stronger and hide his true feelings.

Furthermore, he is now living quite well in the Kingdom of Demons. He has gradually taken root there, and his thoughts of returning to Konoha have faded away.

"Really? You've really changed a lot, Obito."

Kakashi glanced at Obito.

"How to say?"

"I thought you were going to just beat me up."

"Is that what happened at the beginning? In that case, I did have the urge to beat you up. But at that time, you were just following orders, right? The only thing to blame is that the freeloader was too despicable and treated us like monkeys.

Play.”

Having said this, Obito's face was full of resentment.

He did complain to Kakashi for a while at first, but as time went by, this complaint probably disappeared.

And compared to Kakashi, Shiraishi and Uchiha Madara are the driving forces behind everything.

He, Lin, and Kakashi were all just pawns used by Shiraishi and Madara Uchiha to play against each other at that time.

Looking back on this incident, he still felt extremely unhappy.

Kakashi couldn't deny it. He knew the bad qualities of Shiraishi earlier than Obito. After getting used to it, he no longer found him disgusting.

I probably learned it badly too.

At this time, Obito took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, turning his head slightly to the side, deliberately avoiding Kakashi's inquiring eyes.

Obito said to Kakashi: "This is a letter written by Lin to you. Please give it to me personally."

Kakashi smelled a strong smell of vinegar.

Taking the letter from Obito, Kakashi looked at Obito suspiciously and asked, "You didn't open it on the way, did you?"

"How could I do something so tasteless?"

Obito glared at Kakashi.

"Really? I remember that you secretly collected Lin's hairbands in the past..."

"Then, that's all in the past, why are you still bringing this up?"

Obito blushed and defended, but his tone was no longer as confident as before.

"I always feel suspicious...Forget it, I'd better take a look at what Lin wrote in the letter."

Kakashi closed "Intimate Heaven" and put it back into his ninja bag. He opened the envelope and took out Rin's handwritten letter from inside.

Obito stood on his tiptoes and stretched his neck very long. It seemed that he was also very concerned about what Rin wrote in the letter to Kakashi.

However, Kakashi always cleverly adjusted the letter paper to a position where Obito could see it but seemed invisible. He clicked his tongue and nodded repeatedly, as if confirming something, which made Obito feel itchy.

Kakashi, this bastard, what on earth did he see? Obito was impatient.

"Um, Kakashi, what did Lin write to you in the letter?"

Obito couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, do you care, Obito?"

Kakashi looked at Obito.

"No, no, I'm just a little curious."

Obito's eyes flickered back and forth.

"It's not something ulterior. Well, how should I put it? It's something between adults."

"S-It's something between adults!?"

Different from Kakashi's calmness, Obito's body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he froze there, with a dull face.

Seeing Obito's expression as if it was the end of the world, Kakashi narrowed his eyes and seemed to be smiling happily.

"Oh, I'm lying to you. It's actually just a very ordinary greeting. I didn't expect you to take it seriously."

"ah?"

"Take it, don't you want to see it?"

Kakashi handed the letter to Obito generously.
