MTL - The Life of a Villain Starting From Naruto

Chapter 204 Hiding someone with a borrowed knife

Kakashi Hatake knocked on the door and pushed in after receiving permission.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the pungent smell of smoke.

The Hokage's office was covered in clouds and fog, and a layer of soot was already spread on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.

Kakashi was stunned. Ever since he was sensible, he had never seen the Third Hokage smoking so many cigarettes in a row. Even after Lord Biwako passed away, no one could "discipline" the Third Hokage, and this smoking method was indeed a bit exaggerated.

 “Kakashi, sit down.” Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his pipe and sighed softly:

 “Let me see your Sharingan.”

"Yes." Although Kakashi was confused, he still obeyed the order and exposed his eyes. Three magatama were embedded in the eyes, mysterious and beautiful.

 "Sharingan, Uchiha..." The Third Hokage murmured softly, smiling bitterly:

"I have an old friend named Uchiha Kagami. He is an outstanding ninja recognized by even second-generation adults. He has jumped out of the shackles of the clan and put the overall interests of the village above everything else. That day... Alas, I am getting old. I forgot what year it was, but I just remember him saying to me, "If you become Hokage in the future, please be sure to keep an eye on my family. No one understands love better than Uchiha, and no one understands love better than Uchiha." Understand Hate].”

 The old man sighed and blew out a pale smoke ring:

“The village found Hinata Yuuto, and the harvest was unexpected... He told who the Uchiha was who controlled the Nine-Tails that night.”

“If Madara is standing behind Obito, it’s not like there is no shortcut.”

Kakashi was stunned:

“It’s a very clever strategy, because once the village learns about Obito’s identity and type of pupil technique, they will definitely take action.”

“How could Obito have the power to control the Nine-Tails four years ago?”

"Because, he doesn't have to lie." Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly:

“…Who?” The face of a dead person suddenly popped into Kakashi’s mind.

 “Uchiha…Obito.”

“Hyuga Yuto betrayed the village because of the caged bird. Although I cannot forgive what he did, I must admit that his betrayal is logical to a certain extent.”

 “Why should we believe a traitor’s words?”

“Hyuga Yuuto told the village.”

"Hokage-sama, the source of this information..."

“It can’t be him!” Nineteen-year-old Kakashi stood up, ignoring etiquette and slamming his hand on the table:

“Uchiha Madara, the man who founded the village together with the first Hokage.”

 “Madara?”

"If all the information is true, Obito's Sharingan possesses the space-time pupil technique. Although Hyuga Yuuto is powerful, if Obito hides and hides, no one can do anything about him. It is indeed difficult to kill him."

“According to Shisui’s narration, Orochimaru and I have already discussed it, and we agree that Hinata Yuuto’s idea is to kill with a borrowed knife...Use our Konoha to kill Uchiha Obito!”

"But what about Obito? What reason did he have to sneak attack the master's wife on the night she gave birth? Both Minato and Kushina treat him as their own son... I can't think of anything else except hatred that is deeply engraved in their hearts."

“Has the pupil technique of time and space, has a deep hatred for Konoha that comes from nowhere, has some kind of close connection with Madara, and grows very fast... Uchiha Obito must be killed as soon as possible!”

Kakashi clenched his fists and tried to wash away the injustice done to his friend:

"But Hokage-sama, why should Konoha ask us to take action against a difficult enemy that even Hyuga Yuuto can't handle?" "Because we have a bait that Obito can't refuse."

Kakashi was stunned and subconsciously touched his left eye lightly.

 Obito...is it really you?

How is that possible? You are a ninja who died in the name of a hero...

 …

Looking at Kakashi’s dejected back, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed:

“White Fang, your son is as good as you, and he values ​​his companions just as much…”

With a bang, the wall next to him opened, and Orochimaru walked out of the secret passage. His golden vertical pupils looked at the closed wooden door indifferently:

 “When will we do it?”

“The sooner the better, let’s wait until Kakashi cheers up a little.”

"Okay...Teacher, let's talk about another thing." Orochimaru glanced at the official letter on his desk:

“Teacher, why do you think the leader of the Akatsuki organization suddenly visited our village?”

"Either it was a whim, or it was an action instructed by Hyuga Yuuto... But in this case, the latter is more likely." Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his brows tiredly:

“I was wondering, besides Konan, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, who else would follow?”

The master and apprentice looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

—Is it possible that Hyuga Yuuto will be hiding in the team in Amegakure Village?

Deadly silence appeared in the office. Hiruzen Sarutobi was old and mature, and Orochimaru was thoughtful, but both of them admitted that they were by no means a match for Yuuto Hyuga.

That shot of [Ama No Sugaun] four years ago had already made the ninjas of Konoha sigh, "This is a ninjutsu that belongs to the gods." After such a long time, it is impossible for a man like Hyuga Yuuto to make no progress at all. .

 “The overall combat power of Konoha is weaker than that of Hyuga Yuuto”, this is something with a high probability.

So a difficult problem was posed in front of Konoha - should people from Amegakure Village be allowed to visit Konoha? Do we need to monitor them more closely than necessary?

 It is almost impossible to reject Yugakure's request out of hand.

  After all, Konoha and Amegakure signed a peace contract back then, and the words "good neighborly and friendly relations" were clearly written on it. Now that the top leader of the friendly countries has officially applied to visit Konoha, it is really unjustifiable to reject it without justifiable reasons.

Even if Konoha can pull off that face, what if Hinata Yuuto is really in that Amegakure mission and becomes angry after being rejected?

—Okay, shameless, right? It seems that I didn’t kill enough people back then. Today I will add another beautiful memory to you...

 But it doesn’t seem safe to let the visiting delegation from Yuyin Village come in.

 The Third Hokage and Orochimaru only felt that they were in a dilemma, and no matter what choice they made, they would have uncontrollable consequences.

In the final analysis, Hyuga Yuto's combat power is still too strong. He is the strongest in the contemporary ninja world when he starts to attack. Konoha has just recovered. If the scarlet night happens again, Sarutobi Hiruzen can only go down and give him a blow. The previous Hokage kowtowed and apologized.

 “Just pretend you don’t know anything.” In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a decision:

"The leader of the Akatsuki organization can come whenever he wants. We in Konoha will receive her with standard etiquette. As for who is in the team, we don't care at all... As long as Hyuga Yuuto doesn't show up ostentatiously, if he really shows his face... then Just fight him no matter what, Orochimaru, I allow you to use any forbidden technique at that time."

 “Okay.” Orochimaru sighed softly:

 “Then teacher, let’s discuss the third thing now.”

 “Can I really enjoy my old age in peace in this life...” Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly:

 “There’s no need to discuss it, let’s go, let’s go find Fugaku and talk to him face to face.”
