Chapter 265 Being Cheated
Hokage Building
After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's story.
Kakashi murmured in a low voice: "Obito, who did such a thing, is not hopeless..."
"He saved Sasuke, and saved me with his own life. He also lent me the Mangekyō Sharingan, which created a perfect opportunity to defeat the Chakra Progenitor..."
There are merits and there are faults, but can the merits and faults offset each other?
Kakashi's mind flashed with the faces of his teacher and his wife, and he clenched his fists.
This is not a multiple-choice question.
But what he wanted to do most now was to find Obito and ask him clearly.
"Leave the task of finding Obito and convincing him to me, Lord Sandaime."
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, Fugaku walked in.
"There is one important thing I forgot to mention. The reason why Uchiha Obito became like that was because he was used by Madara."
Well, he just forgot to say it, not that he forgot to ask before.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
The ANBU walked over to the desk and handed the intelligence scroll in his hand to Shikaku.
Seeing that Shikaku had a solemn and complicated expression after opening the intelligence scroll, Fugaku was no longer in a hurry to leave.
Shikaku looked at Fugaku with complicated eyes.
Then, when he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his expression became more complicated.
"Danzo is dead."
In the field, only Kakashi was still immersed in Fugaku's words. Whether Danzo was dead or alive had little to do with him.
"Danzo is dead... So Obito did that because he was used by Madara? He... How could he do such a cruel thing? They are the teacher and his wife! "
Sarutobi Hiruzen's brain froze for a moment.
He prepared for a rainy day and sent Danzo to the Ghost Lantern Prison for protection early on, but he didn't expect that Danzo still died.
"How did you die?"
Shikaku said: "The Lord of Gui Lantern City, Wuwei, said that there was only a pile of ashes left in Danzo's cell. He learned from the jailer that before Danzo was burned to ashes, he let out a painful roar, and the roar was... one against seven. When the jailer arrived, the man was already dead."
Even the execution step was skipped and cremation was carried out directly.
It burns so fast.
It is Amaterasu without a doubt.
Fugaku frowned deeply and shouted angrily: "How could Itachi do such a thing? After all, Danzo was once a village elder and a high-ranking official. He is so lawless!"
Hearing his words, Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless.
But he was too lazy to pay attention to Fugaku.
He asked himself in his mind, did he have the right to blame Itachi for killing Danzo?
For the sake of the village's stability, Itachi was able to make up his mind to exterminate his own clan.
However, he wanted to save Danzo's life and ignored the discontent among the Uchiha clan.
The reason why Uchiha's negative emotions towards Danzo have not yet erupted is purely for the sake of Sasuke's future.
After all, anyone can see that Future Sasuke has feelings for the village.
Most of these feelings come from Naruto and his family.
After the third live broadcast ends, Future Sasuke will leave, and what is coming will still come.
The Uchiha clan will definitely find a way to kill Danzo.
Itachi did this for the stability of the village.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that as the Third Hokage of Konoha Village, he had no right to blame Itachi for doing such a thing.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En are criticizing Itachi.
Fugaku nodded seriously, as if what they said was right.
The person is dead anyway.
Only when Fugaku became impatient did he leave the Hokage's office.
Uchiha clan land
Seeing Fugaku returning to the clan once again, the two guards asked in confusion, "Master Fugaku seems very happy?"
It seems that it is more difficult to hide happiness than joy.
……
Time soon came to the next day.
Konoha Village entrance
"Where's Sasuke? Why hasn't Sasuke come out yet?"
"That guy from yesterday hasn't come back yet? Were we being tricked?"
"Damn it! That guy must be a liar! Otherwise he should have come back last night."
"Oh. Never mind. Five thousand taels is five thousand taels. As long as I can see Sasuke today, I will be satisfied."
"I feel so dirty. I haven't even washed my face since I left home and came to Konoha."
noon
Obito's chest was heaving violently and his face looked extremely ugly.
Was he really cheated? Was he cheated out of five thousand taels by a small fry?
At this moment, he suddenly figured out a lot of things.
The fact that Sasuke hasn't come out yet proves that this didn't happen at all. These were all rumors spread in advance by the liar yesterday as part of his plan.
Yes.
Naruto was taken away by him.
How could Konoha and the Uchiha clan let Sasuke take risks?
That is to say, those who left with the scammer yesterday were all agents!
Even if some of them are not hired as agents, they may have met with misfortune or have been bribed with money.
Obito took out the note worth five thousand taels.
In a fit of anger...he got angry.
"Forget it. I'll just take this lesson as a warning. I won't be fooled again."
After saying that, Obito put the receipt away again.
at this time.
Someone shouted in dissatisfaction: "I understand that Naruto and Sasuke can't see me. After all, they don't have the strength to protect themselves yet, but what's wrong with letting Emperor Kai come out to see us? Are you in Konoha Village afraid that something will happen to Emperor Kai?"
Someone rushed directly to the gate of Konoha Village and complained to Izumo and Zitetsu who were guarding the gate inside the barrier: "Did you hear that? Are you Konoha people afraid that something will happen to Emperor Kai? That's Emperor Kai! All of us combined are not even enough to hit him. What on earth are the leaders of your village worried about?!"
Izumo and Zitetsu looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
The village did not restrict Kai's personal freedom.
……
What happened at the gate of Konoha Village was not a big deal.
But from other perspectives, it's not small.
Five thousand taels, one hundred copies, add up to only five hundred thousand taels.
For Konoha Village, 500,000 ryo is just a bounty for an A-level to S-level mission.
But there are some black-hearted scammers who use the fact that Sasuke will go out to meet them as an excuse to commit fraud.
I was happily waiting to meet Sasuke, and I was willing to spend five thousand taels to buy a photo.
The result gave us hope, but what came was disappointment.
Even though it was a liar who used Sasuke's name, this disappointment would affect Sasuke himself, because the object of hope and disappointment was Sasuke, and many people knew this.
Hokage Building
Several people are discussing countermeasures.
Since this concerns Sasuke's reputation, Fugaku also takes it very seriously.
He was a little hesitant, but still suggested: "Why not let Sasuke go out for a while..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected this proposal without a second thought: "No! Facing Obito's space-time ability, even if we guard him strictly, it won't be of much use."
"Yes, the village must protect Sasuke... I think it would be better to let Kai take charge of this matter."
Perhaps it would be best to let Kailai dispel the suppressed dissatisfaction in the hearts of those outside the village.
If he had the ability, the masked man would have kidnapped Kai as well.
Sarutobi Hiruzen called the Anbu and ordered, "Go get Kai."
"Yes. Sandaime-sama!"
