"I see!" Hearing Danzo's words, everyone nodded repeatedly, somewhat convinced.
"Explain more clearly!" Hiruzen asked further, his face darkened.
"The evidence is, didn't you dig three feet underground back then and still not find Uchiha Fugaku?" Danzo said: "It's simple. You were looking for Uchiha Fugaku. But what if Uchiha Fugaku was no longer Uchiha Fugaku?"
"For example, his Dojutsu is one that completely distorts his appearance!"
Danzo looked at Obito, his eyes filled with fanaticism.
"Look, he only has his right eye visible, but his left eye isn't shown at all."
"But you've all tried seeing with one eye… the field of vision with one eye always has blind spots! This is especially true for Ninjas!"
"Yet he'd rather only show one eye than reveal more. This is precisely because he cannot reveal more!"
"In other words, his left eye used such a Dojutsu and is now blind, or unusable!"
Danzo spoke rapidly: "If I put it this way, you should understand, right?"
"So that's it! Indeed, it's possible!" After hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen nodded.
After all, according to Danzo's logic, the other party is Fugaku, but completely different from Fugaku because he used a Dojutsu.
And this also aligns with the image of him only revealing one eye.
Completely dominated by Danzo's logic, Hiruzen's expression turned serious.
"Uchiha Fugaku, you killed the Fourth Hokage, and you dare return? Do you think Konoha's blade is not sharp enough?"
"Today, even if it costs me my last breath, I will kill you here!"
As he spoke, Hiruzen tore off his Hokage Robe, revealing the armor beneath.
Seeing Hiruzen's armor, everyone was very shocked: "Hiruzen, you even prepared this? Did you know something would happen today?"
"Heh!" Hearing everyone's words, Hiruzen smiled smugly.
Then, he shook his head: "Of course not."
Hiruzen explained: "It's just that with Konoha's current situation, a crisis could erupt at any time. So I've always worn this armor under my robes, just to guard against situations like today!"
"For Konoha, I remain vigilant at all times!" Hiruzen's words were full of righteous authority.
Hearing Hiruzen's words, everyone was genuinely somewhat moved.
"Saru!" Koharu's eyes were glistening, clearly moved by Hiruzen.
Hadn't she remained unmarried all these years precisely because of Hiruzen's dashing qualities?
Seeing Hiruzen show off again, Danzo was very displeased.
'Just say you have no sense of security, why show off? Everyone here knows what you're really like!'
'Ah, Koharu doesn't know? Well, never mind then...'
Danzo's desire to complain was rising.
But currently, it was undoubtedly Hiruzen's turn. Under his 'great, glorious, and correct' aura, the situation leaned towards praising Hiruzen.
However, Hiruzen's act disgusted Obito.
Originally, he had some small resistance to returning to contact Konoha on Madara's orders.
But upon careful thought, being able to return to Konoha and show off wasn't so bad.
But who would have thought these Konoha's higher-ups wouldn't give him a chance to show off at all.
And if it were a normal denial, that would be one thing, but being denied in this way was just disgusting.
Thus, Obito could no longer contain himself.
He ripped off his spiral mask and roared: "Open your dog eyes wide and look properly! Who am I really?"
Subsequently, a somewhat scarred face appeared before everyone.
However, these scars were far less severe than in the original work, so everyone could recognize him very clearly.
"You are... Obito?" Looking at Obito's face, Hiruzen was utterly dumbfounded.
He thought it was Fugaku, but who knew it was Obito?
But the problem was...
"Obito, didn't you die in the war?" Hiruzen asked.
Simultaneously, also remembering something, Hiruzen said: "By the way, Obito, did you know something happened to the Uchiha after you left?"
As he spoke, he subtly began making hand signals behind his back.
To be honest, he still felt some regret about slaughtering the entire Uchiha Clan, given how powerful a clan they were.
But now that this lone survivor was before him, and combined with his impression of Obito from the past, Hiruzen decided to manipulate him!
He had already thought of what to say next. No matter what Obito believed, he just needed to leverage his belief in the village a little bit and mold him to his will!
However, Obito remained completely unmoved.
He laughed contemptuously: "Enough. I know more about the Uchiha's situation than you do!"
"And my arrival today isn't for the Uchiha, but on the orders of Uchiha Madara!"
"Huh? What!!!?" Hearing Obito's words, everyone was shocked.
They were just about to try and manipulate Obito.
But who would have thought they'd hear the name Uchiha Madara? That changed everything!
After all, it very likely meant that Madara wasn't dead!
