68Repent, Uchiha Obito!AI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 68 Repent, Uchiha Obito!
"Oh my goodness, this, this, this~"
Might Guy felt his tongue tying itself in knots.
The scene before them brought an unparalleled shock.
Kakashi silently watched the scene, a subtle sense of collapse forming within him.
What did they see?
By the gate of Konoha Village, a statue had been erected at some unknown time.
The content of the statue was simple and unadorned.
It was a couple holding a child.
The father was high-spirited, the mother gentle, and the child, seemingly just born, was crying loudly, looking incredibly lifelike.
In front of them, a person knelt on the ground, head bowed, deeply repenting.
This was not the key.
The key was that these statues looked very familiar.
Wasn't that Minato and his wife holding Uzumaki Naruto, and the person kneeling on the ground, head bowed, was recognizable at a glance?
It was Uchiha Obito.
Kakashi's expression darkened.
This scene had a great impact on him.
Might Guy glanced at Kakashi, took a deep breath, and solemnly said, "The Fourth Hokage certainly wouldn't act without reason. Let's go take a look first, then we can go find the Fourth Hokage."
"Alright!"
Might Guy was startled by the sudden voice.
He turned to look at Kakashi and found that his single eye was slightly red, and his voice was hoarse.
Clearly, this scene had a great impact on him.
As the two walked over, just as they were about to say something, they saw a person walk by, spit on the ground with a "Pah!" sound, and look at the kneeling statue with disgust.
Then, he respectfully bowed to Minato and his wife, and left gracefully.
Kakashi: "…"
Might Guy: "…"
What did they miss? Why did it feel like Uchiha Obito was now universally reviled?
"Yo, Kakashi, Might Guy, you're back."
Izumo, guarding the gate, greeted them and said with emotion, "Fortunately, you were out on a mission and not in the Village. What happened last time really scared me to death."
"What exactly is going on?"
Kakashi pointed at the statue.
Izumo looked at Kakashi with pity and whispered, "What else could it be? The Nine-Tailed Fox's attack was caused by that bastard Uchiha Obito."
"He also killed the Fourth Hokage and his wife. Oh, no, the Fourth Hokage is back now, but we still won't forgive him."
"Pah, trash."
"No, trash can still be recycled. He doesn't deserve it."
Hearing such words again, Kakashi felt a bit melancholic.
What had his persistence all these years amounted to?
Rubbing his eyes wearily, Kakashi gave a bitter smile, "Let's go, let's go see Sensei."
"Mm!"
Might Guy silently guarded Kakashi's side.
When the two arrived at the Hokage Office, the Daimyo had not yet left.
"Daimyo."
"Sensei!"
Naruto looked strangely at the two returning together, deep in thought, "I think you two can get married right here."
"Sensei!"
Kakashi scrutinized Naruto, his heart stirring.
He was not Sensei.
Who was he?
Kakashi subtly observed the person in front of him, but did not voice his thoughts.
There was no point in saying anything now.
He would investigate slowly.
Might Guy had no such worries. He looked at the Daimyo, then at Naruto, and subtly pulled Kakashiaway.
He also handed in their mission report.
"Might Guy, a fierce tiger in the heart, yet sniffing a rose delicately."
Huh!
Naruto pondered, and suddenly thought of someone.
"Wait, Might Guy, there's a mission I need you to complete."
"What mission?"
"Konoha Village caught someone last time. Go persuade him and see if you can get him to join us."
"Who?"
"Kisame Hoshigaki."
Might Guy looked bewildered, "Who is that?"
Kakashi: "…"
Goodness.
He's a Hidden Mist Village rogue ninja, isn't he? Is it really okay for you to openly recruit him like this?
Aren't you afraid of causing a war between the two countries?
Naruto smiled meaningfully.
Kisame Hoshigaki and Might Guy could be considered fated rivals, couldn't they?
Moreover, no matter what, Kisame Hoshigaki's willingness to sacrifice his life to complete the mission of delivering intelligence to the Akatsuki Organization was truly moving.
Such a person, once loyal, would definitely be a very good subordinate.
It would naturally be great if he could be subdued.
The reason he sent Might Guy was to see if the two of them would spark a different kind of fire.
"Kakashi, come over after I'm done."
"Okay."
The Daimyo looked at Naruto, waved the folding fan in his hand, and chuckled, "Then I'll be leaving too. As for Konoha Village's financial issues, just leave them to me."
The Daimyo secretly calculated in his heart.
He used to withhold funds from Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he certainly couldn't do that now.
The person in front of him was a ruthless individual. It was better to stabilize him first.
Mere money was not worth mentioning.
He was perfectly skilled at adapting his approach to different people.
"Then I'm very grateful to you."
Naruto and the Daimyo shook hands.
"Old fox!"
"Little fox!"
When the Daimyo walked out of the Hokage Office, these thoughts almost simultaneously surfaced in both their minds.
The Daimyo glanced behind him and shook his head.
The future, perhaps, belonged to this person.
In a short time, he had seen through Naruto. This was a lazy yet ambitious person.
Contradictory?
Not contradictory!
As long as he became overwhelmingly strong, people would naturally gather around him.
Furthermore, his attitude towards Nara Shikakumade it clear that this Minato Namikaze definitely had enough incentives to bind them together.
"Alas, the future will be difficult."
The Daimyo walked away gracefully, hands clasped behind his back.
… …
"Bastard, bastard, ah ah ah~ I'm so angry."
Land of Rain,
Uchiha Obito directly collapsed upon receiving the news brought back by Zetsu.
Even Nagato and Konan trembled, their expressions shocked by Naruto's maneuver.
Killing the heart.
This was to thoroughly nail Uchiha Obito to the pillar of historical shame, from which he could never rise again.
He personally harmed and killed his own Sensei and his Sensei's wife.
All for the sake of Rin Nohara, as he claimed. When a person dies, it's like a lamp extinguishing. What did he want to do?
For a dead person, he killed the people who loved him the most.
Where was his mind?
How could he think that way?
This was the reaction of everyone who learned the news.
At the same time, they were as silent as cicadas in winter.
This was also a madman, a complete and utter madman.
"That person who impersonated Minato Namikaze, I will definitely kill him. I will grind him to dust."
Uchiha Obito roared to the sky, venting the rage in his heart.
Orochimaru, hiding in the shadows, shook his head.
"It seems I can't stay in this Akatsuki Organization. It's better to leave as soon as possible."
"That person who impersonated the Fourth Hokage is quite interesting. Should I go take a look?"
Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Obito coldly.
Although he had thought about the Konoha Crush, he mostly did not want his Sensei to die like a worm in a dark ditch, decaying and withering away.
As for the person in front of him, heh~
He was ashamed to be associated with him.
"Ah ah, how dare he, how dare he… "
Obito was still roaring madly.
He was broken.
One sentence, and he was completely broken.
Looking at the intelligence in his hand, that last glaring sentence, Obito's expression was pained
