Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 554 Watching the Tsukuyomi Engraving

"That's it, absolutely right, that's it!"

"No, no, absolutely not!"

After hearing the final analysis from Matsuri, Chojuro was anxious to argue, but even if he racked his brains, he couldn't think of any way to refute it.

And so, the story of Ao and Kakashi's entangled love and hate was defined.

"I see!"

Suddenly, the yukata raised her hand.

Chojuro listlessly raised his head and looked over.

—No, ladies, what have you figured out?

"There's another possibility: Kirigakure's hobby is Konan Ryo. Could it be that Ao met Kakashi when he was still a boy, and because Kakashi was wearing a mask, Ao mistook Kakashi for the tomboy Konan Ryo, and Kakashi became Ao's ideal man?"

"...?"

"No, 'tomboy' refers to a girl who looks like a boy, while 'Xiao Nanliang' refers to a boy who looks like a girl. How can these be used interchangeably?"

So, in Ao-senpai's eyes, is Kakashi a boy or a girl?

Chojuro couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted Yukata, loudly retorting.

Uh……

Everyone present fell silent.

Chojuro's words make a lot of sense.

The problem now is that Chojuro has always acted very naive and shy.

Why do they know these definitions so well?

Good grief, another repressed pervert like Kakashi!

The way everyone looked at Chojuro gradually took on a hint of contempt.

"Why can't it be both male and female? Your ninja sword grilled salted fish can be broken in two, can't it?"

Maybe that guy named Qing was a lesbian. Back then, Kakashi was both a tomboy and a bit like Xiao Nanliang, which immediately piqued his dual interest.

Seeing that her disciples were speechless because of Chojuro's words, Yecang became somewhat dissatisfied. As their elder, Yecang finally launched her first gossip attack.

Sorry, the Hyuga clan's Eight Trigrams Palm is still too weak; the Eight Trigrams Mouth is the real secret technique.

"Naruto Uzumaki, and Konohamaru, what do you guys think? You're Konoha ninjas, what do you think of Kakashi?"

After Yekura finished speaking, she changed the subject and looked at Naruto and Konohamaru, who had been eavesdropping from the outside.

"Huh? Us? Actually, we also thought Kakashi-sensei was weird at first, like he was acting strangely."

"Kakashi-sensei is definitely a repressed pervert, just like Ebisu-sensei!"

Naruto and Konohamaru each gave their answers.

"Look at that Chojuro guy, he should learn from him. Konoha readily admitted to their own freakish ninja, but you're still trying to argue here. Can't you have some responsibility and magnanimity?"

Yekura's gaze returned to Chojuro.

Chojuro felt like he was about to cry when his older sister looked at him with such disdain.

Finally, Chojuro steeled his resolve, gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and stomped his foot:

"That's right, Senior Qing likes both the tomboy and Nan Liang, and he also considers Kakashi his white moonlight!"

Now that he's witnessed Kakashi being confessed to by Zabuza and Chiyo coming to his door, the sense of crisis makes him unable to suppress his feelings any longer, and he has no choice but to seize the opportunity to confess!

Chojuro not only helped Ao admit to what happened before, but also expanded on the topic.

Now that's good, with testimonies from fellow villagers of Kirigakure, Ao's evidence is now irrefutable.

After forcing himself to finish this passage, Chojuro felt inexplicably relaxed and refreshed, and his spirits improved considerably.

"Oh right, Konohamaru and I were just bored, so we asked Kakashi-sensei for this and looked at it for a while. It seems like that uncle's name appears in it."

Naruto suddenly remembered something, ran back, picked up something, and took it.

This is the very display screen that Kakashi used to monitor Obito while he was engraving Tsukuyomi.

Naruto and Konohamaru had nothing to do, so they asked Kakashi for the script and watched it like a short drama.

"What's this? A new movie?"

The others looked at the scene inside and asked Naruto in confusion.

"It's not a movie. Kakashi-sensei said it's...it's...anyway, it's real, the person in it is real."

Naruto struggled to say "this" for a long time without actually getting it right.

"This is something called the Marked Tsukuyomi, a new thing developed in Amegakure. The person inside is real; he was thrown in to experiment with the Marked Tsukuyomi. We don't know the specifics."

Kakashi-sensei used this to monitor the person inside.

Konohamaru provided an explanation.

The others looked at the two strangely after hearing their answers.

Very strange.

It seems like Naruto and Konohamaru's ages are reversed.

Never mind that for now.

"You mean, the name 'Blue' appeared here? The Imprinted Tsukuyomi... Could it be something like the Limited Tsukuyomi? Let's take a look quickly; maybe we can find the truth from back then!"

Several people surrounded Naruto and placed the monitor in the center, and everyone gathered around to watch the content.

—Since the limited Tsukuyomi corresponds to real-world events, and many hidden information can be deduced from it, this thing called the Imprinted Tsukuyomi might also be able to do so.

And it might even be more suitable than the limited-time monthly reading.

After all, the people in the limited Tsukuyomi were a bit too much.

"Oh right, everyone, the one named Obito here is Kakashi-sensei. Kakashi is actually the Uchiha Obito who was thrown in for the experiment."

Konohamaru reminded everyone that there might be a barrier to entry for watching later.

"..."

It's a mess.

But everyone understood.

In short, just look at their appearance.

The names have been swapped, but the appearance is still the same.

For example, right now, a guy named Uchiha Obito, who is actually Kakashi, is fighting against the people of Kirigakure.

Whether it was due to a major historical change or not, Kakashi, who was now known as Obito Uchiha, was assigned to Shisui Uchiha's subordinates and went to Kirigakure as a member of the Uchiha clan.

Our true Obito discovered that the Third Hokage was deliberately separating them, who were already at odds, but he still chose to secretly follow them.

Because one of Obito's plans required an accomplice.

Whether it's Kirigakure or Madara Uchiha, who might be currently near Kirigakure.

So, Obito, hiding in the shadows, followed the main force and saw Kakashi face off against Ao.

"Huh? Why is Senior Ao using a ninja sword and sewing needles??"

Chojuro exclaimed in surprise.

Because in the video footage, Qing is holding a long, thin knife.

It was Sewing Needle, one of the Seven Ninja Swords.

Has history truly undergone a dramatic change?

Or did Senior Qing really use stitches back then?

It's really hard to judge Chojuro, who hasn't experienced the Third World War.

"Senior Ao, the enemy is an Uchiha clan unit? What should we do?"

In the scene, one of Qing's subordinates asks him a question.
