Naruto and Shadow

“It’s true, look back……”

No wonder I always felt like I was being spied on.

Was it Kushina’s chakra burst that attracted Sarutobi Hiruzen’s attention?

Hino Hikaru quickly realized the fact that Kushina was still being monitored by the Hokage.

“I’m not stupid, you must be lying to me!”

But Kushina just continued to wave her fists, without even thinking about turning around.

“Lord Hokage.”

But fortunately, Namikaze Minato on the side broke away from Kushina’s chains in time and greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Naruto?”

After hearing Minato’s voice, Kushina felt behind her for a moment, and then finally realized that the person who came was actually Naruto.

“Hum, I will continue to beat you later!”

After turning her head and seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen behind her, Kushina let go of Hino Hikari who was pressed under her.

“Hokage-sama, you came just in time.……”

Hino Hikaru quickly got up from the ground

“Haha, Minato, Kushina, you continue, I was just bored and came over to take a look.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he was being humorous and allowed Kushina to continue.

But no one present laughed at his words.

“Let’s go, Hikari, Lin, and Kakashi. Let’s go over there. I don’t want to be watched while training.”

“yes.”

Kakashi was the first to respond.

Hino Hikaru and Nohara Rin smiled apologetically at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then followed Kushina.

“Kushina……”

Only Namikaze Minato, who was not”named” by Kushina, was left alone.

“Sorry, Hokage-sama, Kushina she……”

“It’s okay, children tend to get carried away easily, I don’t care about that.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still smiling, as if he didn’t care at all about Kushina’s disrespect for him just now.

“Have you visited Obito?”

After watching Kushina and others leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to casually chat with Namikaze Minato.

“Well, Obito… seems to be having a hard time recovering.”

“What did Tsunade say?”

“Lady Tsunade only said that there is still hope, but she is not optimistic.”

“I see, you should already know that Kakashi’s kid obtained Obito’s Sharingan, right?”

“Yes, but the Sharingan puts too much strain on his body, which isn’t necessarily a good thing in the long run.”

Namikaze Minato said as he looked behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although the masked ninja had closed his Sharingan, it was not easy for Namikaze Minato to still feel the chakra on the opponent’s body.

“Oh, this is the genius of the Uchiha clan, Shisui, say hello to Minato, maybe you will have many opportunities to communicate together in the future.”

“Hello, I am Shisui Uchiha.”

Under the instruction of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Shisui took off the mask on his face, letting his innocent face show a shallow smile towards Minato.

“Well, I’ve heard that you performed very well on another battlefield and were nicknamed ‘Shunshen Shisui’.”

Minato also nodded kindly.

“Minato, I plan to let him be responsible for the safety of the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, Kushina, when you are not in the village in the future. What do you think?”

“I……”

Responsible for the Jinchuuriki’s safety?

Namikaze Minato knew that this was another way of saying surveillance, but were Uchiha people going to be used to spy on Kushina now?

Sharingan and tailed beasts are both uncontrollable forces, especially when they are combined……

“I disagree!”

Before Namikaze Minato could express his opinion, an old man with a cane came over.

“Danzo? If you haven’t given me the time to investigate the recent rumors, why do you have the time to come here?”

As soon as Danzo appeared, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer showed any good looks.

“I have found out clearly that the person who erased the memory of the Anbu was Uchiha. The people of the Yamanaka clan also saw the three magatama sharingan in his mind. In other words, no one from the Uchiha clan can trust!”

Danzo handed a report he had prepared long ago to Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him, and then stared closely at Uchiha Shisui next to Sarutobi Hiruzen with a scrutinizing gaze.

He was still suspicious at first. But the Akatsuki organization invaded his base. After all, the paper escape ninja who was captured by him and intended to be used for Orochimaru’s research also escaped that night.

But after investigating the ANBU directly under the Hokage involved that day, After retrieval of the ninja’s memory, he finally determined that everything was caused by the Uchiha people.

“this……”

Uchiha Shisui had a panic look on his face

“Hokage-sama, I think it is impossible for a member of the Uchiha clan to behave like this.”

At least it’s impossible now.

Uchiha Shisui understands the environment within the clan, and the radicals are still only a minority for the time being.

“You are an Uchiha, so naturally you have to speak for Uchiha.”

But Danzo blocked Shisui’s excuse with just one sentence.

“Call the people from the Yamanaka clan to the Hokage’s office and we’ll talk about this later.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed the report that he had read.

“Shisui, please go back and rest for now.”

“……yes.”

Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen who was already leaning towards Danzo, Uchiha Shisui could only retreat helplessly.

“Minato, your mission is temporarily cancelled. Over at Kumogakure Village, there is no rush to confront them now. Their first target must still be Iwagakure. Let’s wait and see.”

“yes.”

Is it someone from the Uchiha clan who planned this conspiracy against Danzo, Orochimaru, or even the Third Hokage?

Although this is the best explanation, Minato Namikaze still feels that something is not right.

——

“Haven’t you told Namikaze Jonin what happened that day?”

After leaving the first training ground, Hino Hikaru asked in a low voice to Nohara Rin and Kakashi beside him.

“I asked Kushina-sama and Rin to keep it a secret from Minato-sensei.”

Kakashi knew that to cure Obito, he might have to use the same method as Danzo transplanted the first-generation cells.

And this kind of thing, the always serious Namikaze Minato would probably not agree to it, so he considered Kakashi in many ways. Nishi decided to hide it from Minato for now.

He would wait until Obito was cured.

“That’s it.”

Well, there are advantages to not knowing.

Hino Hikaru doesn’t really care whether Namikaze Minato knows the truth about the attack on the roots.

“Is there any news from Tsunade-sama?”

Kakashi finally asked the question that concerned him most these days.

Can the research information from Danzo and Orochimaru help Obito?……

“She said that she was very inspired, and maybe in the future we can really develop wood-type limbs that can be transplanted to the human body.

However, the current research progress of Danzo and Orochimaru has not completely solved the problem that the first generation of wood-type cells is different from ordinary human bodies.

As for matching, the mortality rate of transplantation is very high.

Even Danzo who has succeeded is not perfect, and may even be swallowed by wood escape at any time.

”

“So it’s still not possible?”

“More experimental data is needed, but it is impossible for Tsunade to do the forced human experiments like Orochimaru and Danzo, so… it will still take a very long time to research, but Tsunade cannot guarantee how long it will take to complete the research. , so let’s not tell Obito about this hope just yet”

“Understood.”

Kakashi’s face looked a little disappointed, but also a lot more hopeful.

“The direction is right, but it requires experimentation… Can I be the experimental subject?”

“Kakashi, Hino-san just said that the mortality rate of transplantation is very high.”

Nohara Lin quickly dissuaded her.

“If you die, Obito’s sacrifice will be meaningless.”

“But……”

“Maybe not a bad thing.”

Hikaru Hino is not opposed to Kakashi transplanting Senju Hashirama’s cells.

“Hino?”

Nohara Rin doesn’t quite understand why Hino Hikaru doesn’t oppose Kakashi.

“But in the end, I still have to ask Tsunade-san for her permission.”

“All right.”

It should be impossible for Tsunade-sama to make fun of other people’s lives.

Nohara Rin can only acquiesce to Hino Hikaru and Kakashi’s decision.

“Thank you, Hino……”

Kakashi is now a scarecrow living in a world of hope

“What are you mumbling over there? Come on, follow me!”

Kushina looked at the”disciples” behind her who were far behind her, as well as someone who did not appear in the field of vision, and quickly urged angrily.

Damn Minato, did you really not catch up?
