Chapter 288 Night Talk: Runtu Almost Collapsed in Dao Heart
"You've finally arrived, Obito." Kakashi, who was leaning on the railing on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, looking out at the night view of Konoha, suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
Almost at the same moment he spoke, a figure appeared beside him in an instant, looking down at Konoha with a complicated expression. "Kakashi, I need to know the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre."
"You knew? Well, Sasuke wouldn't ignore you as an Uchiha." Kakashi seemed to have expected this, and instead of being surprised, he sighed.
"But I'm sorry, Obito. The so-called truth you're looking for, I don't actually know much about either. All I know is that Uchiha Itachi wiped out the Uchiha clan that night and became Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja."
"Kakashi, do you believe this answer?" Juntu scoffed dismissively at Kakashi's reply.
Indeed, the Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan is very strong! He now deeply understands this; enemies who previously left him helpless can now be easily killed with a single eye technique.
However, even when one person faced an entire clan, no one escaped the massacre that went unpunished by Konoha. Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, it was impossible.
It's impossible to say that no one else was involved in this!
"It seems you've grown too, Obito." Kakashi turned his head slowly, his gaze complex. This Obito was indeed stronger than the hot-blooded idiot he remembered.
At least, the situation he had anticipated—where someone came to cause him trouble and yell at him—did not occur.
Taking a deep breath, Kakashi took out a prepared file from inside his clothes. "This is the village's record of the Uchiha clan massacre, S-class top secret intelligence."
"That's all I can tell you. If you still have doubts, then you'll have to go find the person involved, Uchiha Itachi."
Obito quickly took the file, skimmed through it, and then handed it back with a resolute look in his eyes. "As expected, there were signs of someone else's actions. Uchiha Itachi, I will definitely go find him..."
Although the above statement is ambiguous, all the clues indicate that at least one accomplice was involved!
He needs to investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise the same thing might happen again when he goes back there.
The thought of the kind old men and women who had been kind to him and the underage children who had been brutally murdered filled Runtu with anger.
That's outrageous! Those bastards are absolutely going too far!!
Killing the defenseless elderly, women, and children—what's the difference between that and being an animal?
Uchiha Itachi—the obedient and sensible eldest son of the clan head he remembered was actually such an executioner! Unforgivable!
"You've met all three of them today! So, Obito, do you prefer Sasuke or Naruto?" Seeing that Obito was in a bad mood, Kakashi quickly changed the subject to set the stage.
"Sasuke or Naruto? Why can't I like Sakura??" Junto retorted instinctively, leaving Kakashi speechless.
This guy, everyone knows you like Lin the most.
"Well, I still prefer Naruto to Sasuke. This guy, just like me!" Seeing Kakashi's discomfiture, Junto nodded in satisfaction and spoke frankly.
"Sasuke is also very talented, and he's from the Uchiha clan, but seeing him reminds me of you, Kakashi."
"Really? That's pretty much what I expected!" Kakashi shrugged noncommittally, having anticipated this.
Just as he liked Sasuke, it's perfectly reasonable for Obito to like Naruto, who is more like himself.
"Then, I should also explain Naruto's situation in advance, so you won't be caught off guard later." Suddenly, Kakashi thought of something and his eyes showed determination.
"Naruto?" Runtu turned his head in surprise. Did that kid have something special about him?
Well, the genius who developed that kind of color-based ninjutsu seems to be quite special.
Kakashi ignored Junto's strange look, and sighed with a complicated expression. "Naruto is the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"The Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki!!" Instantly, Junto realized what was happening and his expression changed to one of grave seriousness.
No wonder Kakashi entrusted him with the care of the last Uchiha and Naruto; now I understand.
His Mangekyou Sharingan can not only teach Sasuke but also suppress the Nine-Tailed Fox inside Naruto.
But wasn't the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina's wife?
Naruto is now the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, and he also has the surname Uzumaki. He has blond hair like Minato and the Rasengan without any hand seals.
Hiss! Could it be...?
"Naruto is the teacher's child." Seeing Junto's eyes flicker with hesitation, Kakashi didn't hide anything and revealed the truth directly.
"Really? I think I know what happened..." Runtu paused for a moment, then suppressed the sobs in his heart and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Although Kakashi didn't say it explicitly, he could clearly see some facts based on these clues.
He opened his mouth, wanting to take the opportunity to ask about Lin's situation, but the words stuck in his throat...
He suddenly no longer wants to know the answer that had previously made him so anxious and eager!
He was afraid. He was afraid of receiving an answer that he couldn't bear, and that he would lose the will to live.
So be it!
He still wanted to think about how to go back to that world, back to Lin's side, even if it meant dying together! This world, though real, was ultimately not his world.
"Here's your room key. I've prepared all your necessities. The address is room 210, across from Sasuke's apartment building." Kakashi patted Junto on the shoulder, took out the key, stuffed it into his arms, and turned to leave.
"Remember, bring Naruto and the others to my house for dinner tomorrow night at 7 pm. They know where my house is now."
"A get-together? Is this a welcome dinner for me? This guy..." Runtu took a deep breath and smiled. Although it wasn't the Kakashi he knew, this Kakashi seemed pretty good too.
On the other hand, in front of Kakashi, whom Junto couldn't see, the corners of his mouth under the mask were slightly upturned.
Has Obito noticed this too? That's good, sometimes it's better not to say it at all!
Everyone doesn't need to feel so awkward and uncomfortable...
Night, Ishikawa's house.
"Taro, Jiro, Karin, this is the Book of Sealing Techniques I requested from our teacher. Now, each of you should choose two ninjutsu techniques from it to practice. Let's begin!" Ishikawa said with a faint smile to the three delighted students as he took out the Book of Sealing Techniques he had received that day.
Although their mission was to monitor Gaara and the others, Ishikawa viewed this mission as a paid vacation.
Anyway, with Karin around, as long as Gaara and the others are in Konoha, there's no need to worry about not being able to respond in time to any unexpected events.
As for what reason he would use to convince Kakashi to let him take the Scroll of Seals? Ha! Did he really think all those master-disciple bonds he cultivated were for nothing?
Naturally, the reason for letting Karin and the other two only learn two ninjutsu was to avoid biting off more than they could chew, and to allow them to master and transform these techniques into their own combat power as quickly as possible.
Hmm, it's time to get the cursed seal cheat codes for my two underlings too!
And Nohara Rin, she should be back around tonight too...
