Chapter 377 Preparing to Resurrect Shuo Mao
Kakashi and Shikaku walked into Haneda's office one after another.
Haneda, who was sitting in the front Hokage chair, stared at Kakashi and Shikaku with a smile on his face.
Before this, Shisui had already told Kakashi what he and Shikaku had talked about.
"Hokage-sama." Shikaku felt a little nervous when he was looked at. He walked in and greeted him, then sat at the desk and prepared to work.
Kakashi and Haneda looked at each other for about a second or two, then walked to Haneda's side.
He had just moved a chair and sat down next to him when he heard Haneda say.
"You've already told Shikaku about the Rinnegan, right?"
Kakashi rolled his eyes at Haneda and said, "I'm not going to hide it from you."
Haneda whispered, "Kakashi, I don't really want to tell Shikaku about this. Have you ever thought that Pein also has the Samsara Eye, which is similar to me, but also different."
"Similar, different..." Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly realized something and said in a low voice,
"Haneda, do you mean that Pain's Rinnegan doesn't belong to him?"
"Yes. I had guessed this before, and it was confirmed later."
Haneda paused, looked in the direction of Itachi and Shisui who were hiding, and said,
"Itachi and Shisui also figured it out and told me this morning."
Kakashi probed, "Madara's?"
"Yes." Haneda nodded, "Once Shikaku calms down, he will realize this too."
"But it doesn't matter. After the awakening of the Samsara Eye, I am not afraid of some rats in the stinking ditch."
"It's better to tell Shikaku. This will help him calm down and not worry too much."
Kakashi knew what Haneda meant by the second half, so he felt relieved and asked with a smile:
"By the way, what did you call me for? A mission? Or do you want to go to the Shenwei Space to take a look?"
Haneda said, "Let's go to the Rain Country and catch some White Zetsu."
"What's the point of arresting Bai Zetsu? Will it alert the enemy?"
Kakashi knew that Haneda knew about the existence of White Zetsu, but Haneda rarely took the initiative to contact them.
Not to mention catching him.
"Let's talk about it somewhere else, the old place."
Haneda's expression changed, and he smiled as he created several shadow clones, carrying all the official business on his desk that needed to be handled to Shikaku.
Just when Shikaku was frowning, Haneda said:
"Shikaku, I'll leave you alone today. Kakashi and I have to go out for something."
"Okay." Lu Jiu agreed with a dark face.
Looking at the scene that couldn't be more familiar, he remembered himself a few years ago accepting the position of elder appointed by Haneda with a grin on his face.
Sure enough, after he agreed, Haneda and Kakashi instantly performed Flying Thunder God and disappeared on the spot.
Only Lu Jiu was left sitting alone in the office, facing the complicated official duties and sighing to himself.
…………
The third training ground.
Last night, a big hole was blown here by the Shinra Tensei cast by Haneda, which was then filled up and trees were planted.
But there are still obvious signs of destruction here.
Of course, this is limited to people who are familiar with this place.
Haneda and Kakashi were teleported to the third training ground almost at the same time, and they continued their previous conversation.
"Remember the resurrection technique I told you last time? I want to resurrect one person first." Haneda said.
"Who?" Kakashi already had the answer in his mind, but still asked.
"Your father, my teacher, Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo."
Haneda continued:
"During the Third War, Uncle Sakumo stayed alone to cover my retreat, and his body was left in Iwagakure."
"Later, due to the victory in the war, the Sandaime exchanged corpses with Iwagakure in order to appease the Hatake clan and Uncle Sakumo's former subordinates."
"Orochimaru has confirmed that the body at the memorial is not Uncle Sakumo's. The Sandaime was deceived by Iwagakure."
Kakashi knew that Orochimaru knew the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, and his father, as a well-known strong man in the ninja world, must have been studied privately by Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was sure of this, he had no doubt, but he felt very uncomfortable.
The Sandaime, Ōnoki, and Orochimaru have all defiled their father's heroic spirit.
Haneda noticed Kakashi's clenched fists and knew what he was thinking.
He had been equally angry before, but this was the cruel reality.
In the words of Orochimaru:
Life has no meaning. Whether alive or dead, we are being exploited by others.
Haneda said: "I have sent someone to bring Uncle Sakumo back. He is under the memorial stone, the hometown he has always protected."
Kakashi remained silent, and Haneda stood beside him, not saying a word, waiting quietly.
After a long moment, Kakashi said, "Haneda, do you think it's true that resurrecting dead people is right?"
"Actually, I am very hesitant. I want to revive my father, but I don't know if it is right. I also don't know how to face him."
"Me too." Haneda said softly.
He didn't know how to face Uncle Sakumo.
In the world of ninja, desecrating the dead is immoral.
"How about this, Kakashi, let's capture two White Zetsu, let Orochimaru use the Impure World Resurrection to resurrect Uncle Sakumo, and ask him what he thinks. We really shouldn't interfere with the will of the dead." Haneda said again.
"Let's do it this way for now." Kakashi nodded. He had no objection to the resurrected expendable White Zetsu.
He had already heard from Haneda that White Zetsu was not a human in a sense.
It just looks like a human.
"Let's go to the Land of Rain. That's where the Akatsuki organization is located. The probability of encountering White Zetsu there is the highest."
As Haneda spoke, a space-time channel appeared behind him and behind Kakashi at the same time.
The two figures disappeared along the passage, and when they appeared again, they had already arrived in the Land of Rain.
The heavy rain splashed on their heads, clothes, and shoes. In just a few seconds, Haneda and Kakashi were soaked.
But the two didn't care about these. Haneda simply used a little fire chakra to dry the wet hair and clothes, and then used a little wind chakra to isolate his head from the rain.
Kakashi was not as meticulous as Haneda. He just dried his underwear, isolated himself from the air for a short while, changed into a raincoat, and then let the rain continue to cry as if it would never stop.
"You've already fused the cells of the first generation, yet you're still saving chakra, Kakashi." Haneda teased with a smile as he watched Kakashi change his coat.
"I'm used to it." Unlike Haneda who squandered chakra, Kakashi tended to be frugal with his chakra.
Even with an immortal body, it remains the same.
"Should we go straight to find White Zetsu, or should we wander around the Rain Country first?" Kakashi asked.
Haneda opened Kagura's mind eye, and after Obito, also known as Afei, visited Konoha, he remembered White Zetsu's chakra.
Karin's Kagura Mind's Eye can determine the location and movement of known specific chakra within a radius of tens of kilometers.
Haneda is much stronger than Karin, and the range of his Kagura Mind's Eye exceeds a radius of one hundred kilometers!
