He remained silent with a cold expression, but gripped his cane even tighter.
With so little information at the moment, all speculations lack basis, and no matter how forceful he is, he cannot deny it.
Konoha is likely on the eve of a massive storm.
The office fell silent once again.
After a moment, Kakashi moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
He hesitated whether to reveal the identity of the mysterious masked man.
However, reason prevailed and he managed to suppress his impulse.
Revealing Obito's identity now would not benefit Konoha's current crisis.
On the contrary, Obito's Uchiha clan identity might cause Danzo to target Sasuke.
Thinking of this, Kakashi silently shut his mouth.
It seems I'll have to find another suitable opportunity, at least when Danzo isn't around, to make an explanation...
Just then, the little toad on the table spoke again, its voice resounding powerfully in the quiet office:
"Naruto's training is almost complete. In two days, I will take him back to Konoha."
"I also found out Tsunade's whereabouts this time. After sending Naruto back to Konoha, I will go and bring Tsunade back! With her there, our chances of winning will be much better."
After he finished speaking, no one in the office said another word.
Chapter 122 So, why do you all look down on Orochimaru?
A day passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, night fell...
Inside the VIP box of the Dream Theater.
Obito suddenly opened his eyes and then let out a hysterical burst of laughter that echoed wildly in the private room: "Hahaha... I made it! I finally got in! And this time I'm not even an audience member!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Because the environment here is completely different from the dark theater audience seats we had just been in.
The surrounding area is no longer filled with rows of cold seats; instead, there are large leather sofas, sandalwood coffee tables, and other furniture, arranged like a luxurious and spacious lounge.
He was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly.
He came in, and he wasn't in the audience!
Thinking of this, Obito could no longer contain himself. He threw his head back and laughed loudly, shouting, "Rin, I'm here—!"
However, before he could finish speaking, his laughter abruptly stopped, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water: "Wait a minute... something's not right!"
Obito looked down and found that his body had not shrunk and he still looked like an adult.
His smile froze instantly.
Where am I? What happened?
Just then, the huge screen in front of the private room suddenly lit up, and the dazzling white light made Obito involuntarily squint.
Upon closer inspection, the figure appearing on the screen was none other than Kakashi!
"Kakashi, you deserve to die!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
……
On the screen, Kakashi slowly opened his eyes.
What came into view was an unfamiliar room.
He sat properly in a chair, with a table in front of him, on which several pieces of medical equipment were neatly arranged.
here……
It looks a bit like a clinic in Konoha Hospital?
The room was quiet, and the air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant, which made him almost certain that this was a hospital.
Before he could think it through, he felt someone standing behind him, gently unwrapping the bandages wrapped around his head.
Kakashi's back stiffened, and he dared not make any rash moves. He could only maintain his original sitting posture and let the other party do as he pleased.
Before long, the thick bandages were finally removed.
Kakashi felt a lightness on his forehead and just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a series of light footsteps.
Someone is coming this way.
A figure was seen walking along, taking a sip from a cup.
The man went straight to the table.
Kakashi looked up, and in that one glance, he froze completely.
The person who walked to the table was a young blonde woman.
She wore a light green coat, had a tall and hot figure, and a faint purple diamond-shaped mark was faintly visible on the center of her forehead.
Under the bright lights, her pretty face exuded a touch of heroism and majesty.
Kakashi was somewhat surprised: "Lady Tsunade?!"
Princess Tsunade?!
Didn't they leave Konoha Village more than ten years ago?
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Tsunade ignored Kakashi's shocked reaction.
She bent down and carefully examined the injury around Kakashi's left eye before nodding in satisfaction, a relieved smile appearing on her lips.
She said approvingly, "Well done, Karin! Your bandaging and disassembly techniques are very meticulous and standard. Kushina was right, you really do have the talent of a medical ninja."
The red-haired girl standing behind Kakashi bowed slightly upon hearing this, a shy and flattered expression on her face: "It's all thanks to Lady Tsunade's excellent teaching!"
Tsunade smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this and gently patted Karin on the shoulder.
Karin straightened up, her face showing a mixture of surprise and joy, her eyes filled with admiration.
Kakashi then realized it.
The person who had been helping me remove the bandages from behind was none other than Karin Uzumaki!
Judging from Tsunade's words, it seems that Kushina-senpai introduced Karin to her as her disciple?
Thinking of the special ability that Karin possesses.
Kakashi nodded secretly: He is indeed very suitable to be a medical ninja.
Meanwhile, in the dim light of the audience seats.
Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Naruto all stared wide-eyed at the scene that suddenly appeared on the screen, their expressions incredulous.
"Tsunade is in Konoha?!" Jiraiya rubbed his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief.
[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
"It's Karin!" Naruto jumped up from his seat, his eyes wide as he pointed at the screen and shouted, "Karin is a medical ninja at Konoha Hospital now?"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +100!]
Jiraiya stared at Karin on the screen and clicked his tongue in admiration: "That little girl is quite lucky. She actually managed to become Tsunade's apprentice."
"Is that auntie named Tsunade really that amazing?" Naruto looked up at Jiraiya, his eyes full of curiosity.
Jiraiya couldn't help but chuckle to himself upon hearing this.
If Tsunade, that woman, heard someone call her "Auntie," she would definitely teach that brat a lesson.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his beard and chuckled, "Of course! Tsunade is an extremely powerful ninja!"
Jiraiya chuckled and added with a touch of pride, "That's right, her strength is on par with mine; we're both renowned masters in the ninja world!"
"Tch—someone on the same level as you and Orochimaru can hardly be considered a master!"
Naruto, upon hearing this, pouted, rolled his eyes, and muttered, "What a waste of excitement."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked on in astonishment upon hearing this.
In the eyes of these new generation, how come even the legendary Sannin are not considered top-tier powerhouses?
Times have really changed... He smiled bitterly to himself.
Jiraiya couldn't hold back any longer and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, you guys seem to look down on Orochimaru?"
It seems like it happened last time too. These kids lost all enthusiasm for him as soon as they heard he was on par with Orochimaru.
Naruto curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Orochimaru was defeated by Sasuke in one move, he's so lame!"
"Varied--?!"
Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Sasuke's brother..."
"Instantly kill Orochimaru?"
"impossible?!"
……
Inside the VIP room.
Obito slumped helplessly onto the soft sofa, staring at the ceiling, a feeling of powerlessness welling up inside him.
"Not only did I not enter that dream, but I couldn't even see Lin—what's the difference between that and not entering at all?!"
He gritted his teeth and growled angrily.
Obito turned his gaze back to the screen, where he saw that the silver-haired figure that made him grit his teeth was still there.
He was instantly filled with rage, clenched his fist, and roared at the screen, "Kakashi, you bastard! Why didn't you just go completely blind?"
