Chapter 141: Chapter 141
Kaito's plan was not simply ruthless, it was practically soul-crushing!
The six of them, clan leaders weathered by countless storms, found their blood pressure rising at the news.
Although Kaito lacked concrete evidence, equally, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't prove that it wasn't true.
Most crucially, from an outsider's perspective, it all seemed so plausible.
If they shared this news with Kakashi, it was easy to imagine what he might become.
The relationship between the Fourth Hokage and Kakashi was truly special, after all, the charisma of the Fourth Hokage was undeniable.
The others may not know what Naruto's life is really like, but as leaders of their clans, departments, and teams, wouldn't they know?
Not to mention, Kakashi probably knew all this already, so if you add this news into the mix, the likelihood of turning Kakashi increases exponentially!
Once Kakashi fully aligns with them, and presents the so-called evidence from Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be utterly hopeless.
At this moment, everyone was exhilarated because they saw hope.
Kaito's plan was quite thorough. Although there were some deficiencies, it was enough to give them confidence!
"So, does everyone agree?"
Inside the Uchiha clan shrine, Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Sō, and Uchiha Takechi were all looking intently at Kaito.
Shisui was surprised, but relatively calm, as he believed that Kaito couldn't possibly make a mistake.
But Shisui was recalling Kaito's relayed words from Fugaku, was the Fourth Hokage truly murdered by the Third Hokage?
Shisui was pondering, but Fugaku and the others were different. They couldn't control their emotions.
They didn't expect things to move so quickly, nor did they anticipate that Kaito could masterfully pacify all the clans without causing a fuss!
With so many clans united and so much combined evidence, there was absolutely no chance for Sarutobi Hiruzen to turn things around!
"Yes, they all agreed."
Kaito smiled and nodded, then picked up his tea and took a sip before continuing.
"But we have a lot of work ahead. Impeaching the Hokage is not a simple matter. We have a lot of preparations to make."
Overthrowing the Hokage was indeed troublesome. The first point was that Kaito needed to perfect the evidence chain, which was something only he could do.
After all, only he had so much evidence at his disposal and only he could find a way to contact Naruto, thereby drawing Kakashi in.
Moreover, only he had previously contacted Kakashi and Orochimaru, so he was best suited to handle this task.
Of course, while Kaito was busy, no one else could rest. Everyone was tied to the same string, especially in such a large matter that naturally required collective efforts to accomplish.
Hence, they made some necessary arrangements, such as entrusting Nara Shikaku with coordinating the Daimyō.
Although the Daimyō is practically useless, their approval is legally required, which is a fact.
Kaito and the rest sought to impeach Sarutobi Hiruzen based on legal principles, so they had to follow legal norms in all they did.
This meant they had to go through the Daimyō as part of the process, a task naturally handed to Nara Shikaku, who was fairly familiar with the Daimyō.
Kaito didn't foresee a major problem here, as the Daimyō was basically an agreeable sort, hardly assertive when dealing with shinobi.
Besides, both Shimura Danzō and Sarutobi Hiruzen had once threatened the Daimyō over the Fourth Hokage matter.
While Sarutobi Hiruzen's stance was more restrained and seemingly better than Danzō's.
In reality, his proposal was equally assertive, leaving the Daimyō with no thought of refusal.
Now, if Nara Shikaku proposed to impeach the Hokage, the Daimyō would likely have no reason to refuse.
Besides liaising with the Hokage, monitoring the village, especially the Hokage, and investigating were of utmost importance.
To impeach the Hokage, if Sarutobi Hiruzen chose to resist to the death—even if he didn't, his interest group wouldn't allow him to be ousted without a fight.
For instance, clans like Sarutobi and Shimura, steadfastly backing him, certainly wouldn't want or allow such an occurrence.
After all, their rise hinged on Sarutobi Hiruzen becoming Hokage; to overthrow the Hokage would be to sever their interests.
Therefore, the task of monitoring and investigating the Hokage was handed to Hyūga, Aburame, and Inuzuka.
They were to ascertain the extent of the forces rallying around Sarutobi Hiruzen, and prepare corresponding contingency measures for the most critical moments.
As for Yamanaka and Akimichi, these clans would assist in various tasks, although they weren't the main forces.
Their primary direction of action was still in the domain of weapon and supply dealings orchestrated by Kaito.
The other clans were aware of this, as Kaito voluntarily disclosed it; after all, neither he nor Nara Shikaku had any intention of concealing this matter.
Furthermore, they both understood that to truly establish a certain level of binding commitment, more interest exchanges were required.
"After this transaction concludes, could the esteemed elders interact with them and invite them to join our trading venture?
Based on their actual contributions, determine and allocate their respective shares."
After explaining the rough details, Kaito addressed the elders, who promptly nodded in response.
"We understand. This matter is indeed important, we will handle it properly."
Both Uchiha Sō and Uchiha Takechi responded swiftly. Despite their age, they were surprisingly efficient.
Essentially, once you suggested an idea, they instantly knew what to do.
Even though they had once been adversaries, nearly pushing their rivalry to a disastrous point, they were now comrades, working together under Kaito.
Kaito treated them well, providing them a platform to showcase their experience and skills, and they naturally performed better and better.
Of course, the most important factor now was that they harbored more hope for their clan, naturally wishing to see it prosper.
"In addition to this, Fugaku, Shisui, your tasks are also very important."
Kaito turned his head to look at Fugaku and Shisui, and then he said with a smile,
"I showed them the future construction plan of the security department last night, and I think you know what this implies."
The future construction plan of the security department was certainly a grand blueprint, and everyone in the Uchiha clan already knew how enormous the future security department would be.
However, Kaito had not reported this yet, and he had no problem doing so, as all the changes he made were within the purview of the security department.
As for the announcement of the plan, it was entirely up to Kaito's mood and thinking.
When Kaito shared his plan with the six major clans, one could only imagine their shock and astonishment.
They, these old foxes, were truly clear about how huge the three main administrative institutions were and the vast area they covered.
But no one dared to question Kaito's actions, because the security department did have such enormous power; it was just that the Uchihas themselves were not aware of it in the past.
Now, the newly appointed Kaito clearly understood all of this and quickly grasped, optimized, and improved it, and no one dared to criticize him for anything.
What they were considering now was how to get into this massive power structure!
No one was a fool. It was clear to everyone what Kaito wanted to do by so explicitly displaying the blueprint he had constructed.
Kaito was telling them that the security department was such a large division that the Uchiha clan alone could not support it and ensure its operation.
To construct such a large department, especially one with three prominent administrators with specific responsibilities and significant influence and power, required a vast number of personnel.
Whether it was lower-level execution staff or high-level management, the security department needed them!
One can only imagine what was going through the minds of the people of these six major clans at this moment.
They knew that the ultimate administrative power of the security department was definitely in the hands of the Uchiha clan, or more specifically, in the hands of this Uchiha in front of them.
Even the subordinate three administrators would be firmly controlled by the Uchiha, but there were too many vacancies in the security department, and they had too many opportunities to get what they wanted!
Therefore, there was no need for Kaito to say much more; they all took the initiative to suggest sending members of their clans who were not currently assigned to the security department.
And the Hyuga clan, which had already done this, and the Nara clan, which had expressed that they would send personnel, both indicated that they would further increase the scope of their input.
One could say that their actions greatly helped Kaito solve some problems, especially those concerning management personnel!
"So you're saying, a lot of clan ninjas will be entering the security department soon?"
Uchiha Fugaku was the first to respond, and he immediately nodded in understanding.
"I know what to do. I will properly coordinate and arrange their training plans, as well as guide their future job directions."
"I will work well with Chief Fugaku, Chief."
Shisui immediately responded. Despite the fact that this would greatly increase his workload and difficulty, Shisui had no complaints or regrets.
"Good, we also need to start our own work now."
Kaito smiled and nodded, then his expression became somewhat serious.
"The addition of clan ninja members cannot make up for the vacancies we need in the security department.
Even if our plan is to proceed step by step, and at this stage we are only focusing on building the security department, we still need enough people to fill the ranks.
So I have decided, starting from tomorrow, the security department will officially begin external recruitment, and all civilian ninjas are eligible to apply.
As long as they pass our screening, they can enter the security department and become a member of the security department."
"Yes, Chief!"
Shisui and Fugaku responded loudly in unison, they had actually started preparing for this plan long ago.
But because the reputation of the security department was so bad at the time, they could not proceed.
But now it seems that the conditions are ripe, the other major clans have started to send people in, and they can finally start their actions.
There isn't one of them who isn't excited, because the successful establishment of the security department is definitely key to the resurgence of the Uchiha clan.
"As for how to conduct the screening, I believe you both know. I will not involve myself too much."
Kaito nodded, then continued to speak.
"Fugaku, Shisui, you must take this seriously. Once this matter is handled, I will also arrange a reasonable position for you in the security department.
You must work hard. The security department will be a place that brings together the elites of the village. As Uchihas, your actions represent the clan.
Whether it's you or those in the security department, you all must play a leading role and never tarnish the family's reputation."
"Yes, Chief!"
Shisui and Fugaku both involuntarily said loudly, and this time their expressions became extremely solemn.
In the future security department, there really are people from all levels of the Leaf Village.
In the melting pot of this security department, the performance of the Uchiha clan really represents the image of a clan.
In the past, their lack of attention to their image had caused dissatisfaction throughout the Leaf Village, and even when they were wronged, no one spoke up for them.
But now all of this has been turned around by Kaito, and they can feel the benefits of this change, and naturally, they do not want to return to their previous state.
"Alright, the general content of this meeting is just about this, but there are other things I need to tell you."
Having discussed matters with the clan chiefs, Kaito naturally had other things to talk about.
Although the content of these things was small, Kaito had to remind them properly.
"We brought back a guy named Kakuzu from this trip, and I think you all already know about it.
From now on, his living arrangements will depend on you to arrange. Apart from this, his future actions also need to be watched.
Kakuzu is a talent. Although he can't gain our trust right now, he can definitely play an unimaginable role in the future.
So whoever goes there must be polite to him, but of course, he is also dangerous, so be vigilant while being polite."
"Yes, Chief." Upon hearing this, the four, including Shisui, nodded seriously.
Kakuzu is a professional bounty hunter, and his strength is extraordinary.
Having someone with such strength and professionalism to handle things that the Uchihas are not good at doing is indeed an excellent choice.
But there's a prerequisite to this, and that is, Kakuzu must be loyal, otherwise everyone will have a headache.
"Also, there is this little brat, Karin Uzumaki. You are responsible for arranging her. She is a child of the Uzumaki clan, and her potential is definitely not lacking.
Besides, she is the same age as Sasuke. I plan to let them train together in the future, and also let the people in the lab pay more attention to her, because her abilities are interesting."
Having said this, Kaito paused slightly, then a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Also, from tomorrow on, please take good care of Naruto, Fugaku...
"Until Kakashi comes to monitor Naruto."
...
Kakashi is one of Naruto's monitors, but unfortunately Kakashi doesn't monitor Naruto every time, so Kaito has to make some more attempts.
Kakashi didn't know that Kaito was plotting again. At this time, he quietly entered the Hokage's office.
The failure of the last operation didn't make him want to stop. On the contrary, after hearing about Sarutobi's issue with the Uchihas, he had a deeper desire to investigate.
Otherwise, he wouldn't possibly have given such information to Kaito.
Although this time delivering the information led to many farces, even making him witness two drama kings in action, he didn't regret his decision at all.
Today he is on guard duty at the Hokage Building, which will be another great opportunity for him.
"If I can't find what I'm looking for in the Hokage's office, I'm afraid a lot of things will be very hard to find.
I hope to gain something here, after all..."
Kakashi shook his head, taking a deep breath before making his well-practiced way toward the Hokage's office.
Having been here once before, he was relatively experienced. Though, such an experience was not something to be proud of, after all, this was invading the office of his village's Hokage.
But Kakashi didn't care about that now, he had to make a good attempt, he had to try to get the answers he sought!
Relying on a shadow clone to replace his original post, Kakashi used a disguise to slowly move along the outer wall of the Hokage's office.
When he reached the window, he very carefully didn't peek in but patiently and delicately observed everything in the office with his peripheral vision.
The last time he came here, he was truly frightened. If it weren't for the fact that the Third Hokage and others were discussing how to deal with the Uchihas, he would have been exposed.
He would not make the same mistake again. This time, he had to find out if there was anyone in the office. After all, good fortune often doesn't accompany a ninja with bloody hands.
"There's no one, and I haven't detected any other hidden figures inside. But last time, I didn't notice that there was a barrier at this window sill. I was careless."
Kakashi muttered to himself. Last time, he hadn't noticed this detail.
Or rather, he didn't have time to observe this detail, he was so scared that he dared not move. After eavesdropping on all the information, he was in such a hurry to get away that he had no mood to observe.
Taking a deep breath, Kakashi's Sharingan began to spin quickly. In an instant, he had comprehended the structure of this barrier.
Kakashi had always known that his Sharingan was very useful.
Not only could it instantly help him see the enemy's action patterns in battle, but it could also help him quickly deconstruct the enemy's ninjutsu, allowing him to crack and even replicate it.
Even with some barrier-related problems, it could help him quickly understand and try to quietly crack them.
Without being modest, the power of this Sharingan was simply perfect. Whoever obtained it could gain a huge boost.
And this Sharingan was given to him by Obito, which held a more significant meaning for him.
"That is, the consumption of chakra is too great. Perhaps this is the price I have to pay for using it."
Kakashi muttered to himself. Then his gaze remained fixed on the barrier, and he gently stretched out his finger toward the core area of the barrier.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, Kakashi's chakra flowed through his finger into the core of the barrier, and the barrier quickly responded.
In just a moment, the entire window sill was covered in a dense array of black seals.
These seals completely covered the window sill. It was clear that anyone who acted rashly would be instantly detected or even attacked by the seals!
But as quickly as these seals appeared, they disappeared just as fast. After all, Kakashi had completely seen through this seal.
Under his chakra's influence, the seal was quickly broken by Kakashi.
Though Kakashi hadn't completely deactivated the barrier, it certainly wouldn't trigger any alarms.
After accomplishing all of that, Kakashi finally let out a soft sigh, but just at that instant, he felt nearly a fifth of his chakra had drained away.
However, he was too focused now to care about these details. He cautiously surveyed his surroundings and then quickly opened the window to jump into the office.
When his feet finally touched the floor of this office, an office he'd entered countless times before, he exhaled a genuine sigh of relief.
As Anbu, they had many duties, such as protecting the Hokage during his meetings with others, concealed within this office.
But the people who did these tasks were essentially those the Hokage had faith in.
Kakashi was counted among those trusted by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and so he had spent quite a lot of time inside this office.
His experience had made him intimately familiar with many things in this office.
So, after entering the office, aside from promptly closing the window, Kakashi's gaze immediately locked onto a particular cabinet.
This cabinet held such important items as the "Seal Scripture." Kakashi speculated that what he sought might be in there as well...
.....
"How is it not here?"
Under the enchanting moonlight, silver beams streamed through the office window.
Kakashi hid himself in a place where the moonlight didn't reach, slowly going through the contents of the cabinet.
But his expression wasn't great. Indeed, this cabinet housed many scrolls, some of which didn't even have a name to indicate what they contained.
And these scrolls were secured with a variety of sealing jutsu, indicating their immense value.
Hence, Kakashi had no choice but to expend a considerable effort to break each seal and check whether the contents were what he was looking for.
Thankfully, his sensei's wife, Kushina, was a master of sealing jutsu, and he had learned quite a lot from her.
Even if he hadn't specialized, even if his skills had become somewhat rusty, he still had his Sharingan to aid him, and he could still manage to break these seals with some effort.
However, to his disappointment, he had unsealed nearly all the scrolls, viewed all their contents, but he found no trace of what he was seeking.
These records held action plans that were sealed away, many of which were extremely dangerous. Should they be implemented, Konoha would suffer significant damage.
But without exception, all these plans were vetoed by Sarutobi, ultimately stored away here.
After going through these plans, Kakashi felt a twinge of doubt.
"Could I have been mistaken?"
He was genuinely unsure now because after reviewing so many sealed records, every single one showed Sarutobi had rejected aggressive plans for the sake of Konoha.
This was vastly different from what Kaito had told him, leaving him momentarily at a loss for what to do.
However, thinking of his father's death, his own past circumstances, and Naruto's current situation, Kakashi regained his calm.
He had his doubts - was his persistent search a result of Kaito's genjutsu? After all, he had witnessed the potency of Kaito's eyes.
Yet, after much thought, he felt that his heart had always yearned for an answer, an answer that could soothe his inner turmoil.
Just as Kaito had said, this wasn't for him. It was for his teacher, and even more, for his father!
Taking a deep breath, Kakashi resealed the unsealed scrolls and returned them to their original places.
Unable to find a breakthrough in the Hokage's office, Kakashi decided he would have to look elsewhere. But before leaving, he had to clean up after himself.
He didn't want to expose himself, which would undoubtedly have a significant impact on his future actions.
In fact, if discovered, he might not have the opportunity to act at all.
"Hmm?"
However, as Kakashi was returning these files, his hand accidentally knocked against the back partition of the wooden cabinet. A faint knocking sound resonated in his ear.
At the sound, Kakashi froze because he was very familiar with the difference between solid and hollow sounds.
This was one of the fundamental skills of an Anbu member, often employed during their missions, and Kakashi was adept at it.
"Is there a hidden compartment here?"
Kakashi thought to himself. His Sharingan began to spin once again. First, he needed to ascertain if there were any sealing jutsus present.
Fortunately, he found none, and only then did he begin to search for the switch to this secret compartment.
He was meticulous and patient. He couldn't help but wonder, what kind of items would be stored in a hidden compartment in the Hokage's office?
Before long, Kakashi finally located the switch, cleverly concealed on the Hokage's desk.
If it wasn't for his Sharingan, Kakashi wouldn't have found it so effortlessly.
After carefully inspecting the switch and confirming there were no issues, Kakashi turned it, unveiling the hidden compartment within the cabinet.
Kakashi slowly approached the cabinet once more. What appeared before him was a huge sealed scroll.
Although the large scroll didn't have any annotations to clarify what it contained, just the sight of it made Kakashi's heart pound uncontrollably.
During this period, besides the Hokage's office where he couldn't make his move, he had carefully inspected other places, more or less.
This included Anbu, even the former base of the Root, that deserted place. However, he always came away empty-handed.
Initially not finding any information in the office, he had planned to revisit the bases of the Anbu and the Root.
But now, the tables had turned, leaving him feeling a mixture of excitement and concern.
On the one hand, he was elated, having found a new lead. On the other hand, he was worried that all his efforts might be in vain once again, which would be truly disheartening.
"Hope, it's what I desire."
Kakashi murmured, then slowly extracted the massive scroll. After careful inspection, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the swirling smoke, Kakashi unsealed the huge scroll. What came into his view were several dozen smaller sealed scrolls.
These scrolls bore clear markings, indicating they were all Root's internal operation reports!
Seeing this, Kakashi couldn't contain his excitement. He quickly started perusing the information annotated on these scrolls.
However, as he read, his body involuntarily stiffened, for he saw a sensitive year— Konoha's 39th year!
Konoha's 39th year, Kakashi had just turned five. That year, Iwagakure Village had started a series of operations against Konoha.
Although the Third Great Ninja War hadn't erupted yet, the atmosphere was incredibly tense, with both Konoha and Sunagakure already making their moves.
It was in this year that his father accepted a mission, a mission ultimately deemed a failure. Not long after, his father chose to end his life.
That year was firmly ingrained in Kakashi's memory—it was the beginning of his descent into the abyss!
Taking a deep breath, Kakashi slowly opened the scroll, which contained numerous smaller scrolls.
One by one, Kakashi scrutinized each scroll. Even without seeing anything about his father, he already felt a chill throughout his body.
However, when he reached the third scroll, his body began to shake uncontrollably.
His hand, clutching the scroll, tightened violently. His eyes reddened at that moment, and tears streamed down his cheeks.
Yet, within those grief-stricken eyes, an intent to kill was also brewing...
....
"Konoha's 39th year, April.
Sakumo Hatake's prestige in Konoha is increasing. According to Root's report, the number of discussions about him among the Konoha residents has been growing.
Support from many lower and middle-level ninjas has also been noticeably increasing. Even some Jonins have started to openly support him.
If this continues, Sakumo Hatake will become the most likely competitor for the Fourth Hokage. However, Sakumo Hatake is not a suitable candidate for Hokage.
Although he has strength, he lacks extensive administrative experience. His greatest accomplishment in management so far is only the team model.
Managing a team simply requires clear division of tasks, and with his strong individual abilities, he can handle it. But his experience is insignificant when compared to managing a village.
Therefore, in order to curb the continued rise of his popularity, to prevent Konoha from being led by someone with no administrative experience— someone thrust into a position that doesn't belong to him due to the ignorance and wishful thinking of the people— from taking the most powerful position in Konoha....
Konoha needs to initiate a special operation to prevent what should not occur. For the future of Konoha, certain sacrifices need to be made.
Plan proposed by: Danzo Shimura.
Plan approved by: Hiruzen Sarutobi.
.....
"Konoha's 39th year, June.
During the execution of a covert operation, Sakumo Hatake failed the mission while trying to save a comrade. This is an intolerable mistake.
With war on the brink of eruption, it is crucial to sound a warning bell for all Konoha ninjas, emphasizing that the mission holds paramount importance.
No matter who causes a mission to fail at such a critical period, regardless of whether Konoha suffers any losses, they must be brought to judgment.
Sakumo Hatake's mission failure is a crucial turning point. It demands our serious attention and response, aligning with our containment strategy.
Therefore, we need to find the person saved by Sakumo Hatake, using necessary means to make him understand that war is no child's play.
We need him to testify against Sakumo Hatake's actions, ingraining this lesson into all Konoha ninjas.
At the same time, we need to expand the scope and scale of our containment strategy, using our control over public opinion to our advantage.
Let those who originally supported him despise him, and let the ignorant public see him for who he truly is. Only then can we achieve our goals.
We can steer Konoha clear of a person without any practical experience ascending to power, someone who could bring about Konoha's downfall.
And we can ensure that every Konoha ninja keeps their mission firmly in mind in the face of a potentially erupting war, remembering their duty to serve Konoha wholeheartedly.
For Konoha, even though the means are ruthless and somewhat despicable, it's all worthwhile.
Plan proposed by: Danzo Shimura.
Plan approved by: Hiruzen Sarutobi.
.....
"Konoha's 39th year, August.
Sakumo Hatake's reaction was somewhat unexpected; it's indeed a pity he chose to end his own life.
However, this also demonstrates that he was not suitable Hokage material. A Hokage needs unwavering will and understanding, and absolutely cannot choose to escape over minor incidents.
Seppuku is an extremely irresponsible form of escape and is a romantic notion belonging to samurais, not ninjas.
Ninjas need to endure darkness and keep moving forward. Sakumo Hatake's actions make him unworthy of being a Hokage, and he could never become one!
Moreover, his death will bring further complications for Konoha. It appears that Sunagakure Village has accelerated their plans due to receiving intelligence, knowing that Konoha has lost a powerful combatant.
His actions have hastened the outbreak of war between Konoha and Sunagakure, and who knows how many lives will be lost because of this. He is a man who should be nailed to the pillar of shame.
At this point, war seems unavoidable. While actively preparing for battle, we also need to find ways to alleviate the public's panic over the war and to keep the Konoha ninjas alert to not violate the ninja code.
Therefore, the containment strategy cannot stop and should be expanded. We must make the ninjas understand the true meaning of their existence.
Their purpose is to complete missions, no matter how difficult the task, no matter whether they will pay with their lives, that is the ninja's destiny.
Sakumo Hatake needs to be held up as a warning, a bottom line, a boundary that no one can cross.
Only in this way, will the ninjas who carry out missions keep all this in mind. Only then can we have fearless warriors in the war. Only then can we protect Konoha!
Plan proposed by: Danzo Shimura.
Plan approved by: Hiruzen Sarutobi.
...
Looking at the report in his hand, reminiscing about that time, Kakashi's emotions ultimately collapsed.
His father indeed committed suicide, but it was not out of guilt for failing the mission.
Just as Uchiha Kaito had said, his father was driven to death by maliciously spread rumors!
Looking at the series of action plans, at the glaring names of the plan's proposer and approver, he felt a raging anger burning in his chest.
He had never hated someone so much, never wanted to kill someone so much.
But now he had such feelings. Such emotions had probably only emerged when Obito died in front of him, and when Rin was killed by his own hands.
Such feelings were so strong, so overwhelming, swallowing all the rationality in his heart.
But in the end, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner anger. He knew there was nothing he could do right now.
He sought revenge. He had two enemies. One was Danzo Shimura, and the other was Hiruzen Sarutobi!
One of them is already dead, and the other is still the Hokage of Konoha. If he made a move on the Hokage, all of Konoha would be thrown into chaos.
Konoha is the place Obito, Rin, his teacher, and his father protected with their lives. He absolutely would not allow it to be destroyed due to his impulsive actions.
He must control his emotions. He must find a suitable and rational way to resolve all this.
Lifting his head slightly, Kakashi looked out the window. He already knew what he needed to do, and this time he could no longer hide his identity!
"Uchiha Kaito, it was you who asked me to investigate, and you also know that the Hokage is after you now.
Now I am coming to find you. Only you can deal with the Hokage now....."
