"Nine-Tails Rampage..." Kakashi secretly noted down everything Yamato had said, preparing to look up related materials later.
He knew a bit about the Tailed Beasts; they were the weapons of war for the Five Great Countries, and each Great Ninja Village had one or two Tailed Beasts. However, Kakashi was truly not familiar with the concept of a Tailed Beast rampaging.
"Senior Asuma died in battle not long after we traveled through time. In our era, there was a ninja organization called the Akatsuki. All members of the Akatsuki were S-Class Traitorous Ninjas from various Ninja Villages. They were stealing Tailed Beasts from the Great Ninja Villages, and Senior Asuma was killed by a ninja from the Akatsuki."
Recalling Asuma's death, Yamato couldn't help but think back to the times they shared at the izakaya, confiding in each other. The thought of never being able to go to an izakaya with Asuma again made Yamato's eyes dim a bit.
Since even the Fourth Hokage mentioned it, Yamato decided to tell everything about Asuma anyway. After all, Kakashi and the others wanted to change history, and if they could alter Asuma's fate, it would be a great joy for everyone.
"A ninja organization formed by S-Class Traitorous Ninjas." Kakashi thought for a moment, then simply took out a pen and scroll, writing down everything Yamato had said.
Since Asuma's death occurred shortly before Uzumaki Naruto and the others traveled through time, it was still far away, so to prevent forgetting, Kakashi chose to record it.
Kakashi etched the name "Akatsuki" into his mind, thinking it would be easier to eliminate them before they could fully grow.
A ninja organization cannot be established overnight. According to Yamato's description, the Akatsuki of their time was already terrifyingly powerful, completely unconcerned about offending the Great Ninja Villages.
Kakashi boldly speculated that the Akatsuki of the future might already exist in the Ninja World but were still gathering power.
"Could the Nine-Tails Rampage that caused Teacher Minato's death be related to the Akatsuki?" Kakashi's mind suddenly flashed, linking the Nine-Tails Rampage with the Akatsuki.
The Akatsuki's goal was the Tailed Beasts, so naturally, Konoha's Nine-Tails would also be one of their targets. However, Konoha was too strong, so their plot didn't succeed, only causing Konoha some losses.
Kakashi slightly shook his head, pushing down the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He needed to obtain more information about the Tailed Beasts to continue thinking about it, or else it would just be baseless speculation.
"Let me confirm again, you really don't know anything about Teacher Mokgetsu, Obito, and Rin?" Kakashi asked Yamato, looking into his eyes.
Although Yamato had said before that he didn't know about Mokgetsu and the others, at that time, Yamato hadn't decided to help change history, so there was the possibility of lying.
"I also really want to help, but I really don't know," Yamato said helplessly.
Having decided to change history, Yamato certainly wouldn't hide anything, but he really didn't know about Mokgetsu and the others.
"However, I can confirm that Teacher Mokgetsu probably passed away before the Fourth Hokage, most likely during the Third Shinobi World War," Yamato thought for a moment and shared his speculation.
For an outstanding ninja like Mokgetsu, only dying too early could have led to such obscurity in later generations.
If Mokgetsu had died after the war, with his abilities and charisma, Yamato would have definitely heard of him.
Kakashi's eyes flickered; Yamato's speculation indeed made sense. War was exceedingly dangerous; even a strong ninja like Mokgetsu couldn't escape unscathed from being besieged by ninja squads.
"Damn war, I will definitely end this war!" Obito gritted his teeth and said.
He never liked war, and his dream was to end it and become Hokage. Knowing now that Mokgetsu might die in war made Obito hate war even more.
The same was true for Nohara Rin; her biggest dream was to make war disappear. At this moment, she was very dissatisfied with her own weakness. If she could become stronger, Kakashi and Obito wouldn't have to deliberately protect her during battles.
"As for Rin and Obito, I can't be certain. It might be due to the Third Shinobi World War, Nine-Tails Rampage, or the subsequent wars with Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud," Yamato continued.
Compared to the powerful Mokgetsu, Nohara Rin and Obito were still young, so Yamato found it difficult to judge their time of death.
After the Third Shinobi World War, the entire Ninja World was not entirely peaceful. In reality, Konoha continued to have conflicts with Hidden Cloud for several years before signing a peace treaty, and there was also a conflict with Hidden Rock in between.
However, the intensity of these wars couldn't compare to the Third Shinobi World War, and a strong ninja like Mokgetsu would not fall in such conflicts.
Moreover, Yamato wasn't very young at that time, and if Mokgetsu had lived until that time, he would have definitely heard of him.
"Please share the details of the Third Shinobi World War," Kakashi said unceremoniously.
He was someone who always prepared for the worst. Since Obito and Nohara Rin might also die in war, he assumed by default that unless something unexpected happened, the Mokgetsu Squad would be reduced to only him during the Third Shinobi World War.
In such a situation, Kakashi needed to obtain more war-related intelligence to analyze when exactly they would encounter trouble during the war.
"I don't know much about it, just the general idea," Yamato said somewhat awkwardly.
