Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching

Kakashi went to the Hokage's office with Obito as promised.

When the two entered the Hokage's office, the first thing they saw was Yamanaka Inoichi standing in front of the desk.

"Lord Third Hokage, Inoichi-senpai."

Kakashi greeted them in a low voice.

"Hokage-ossan, Inoichi-senpai, good morning."

Obito also greeted Hiruzen and Inoichi with a smile, not at all like someone who had been called in for inspection. If one didn't know better, they would think Hiruzen had invited him for tea.

Hiruzen nodded slightly in response, then quietly sized up Obito.

Yesterday, he had people collect all of Obito's information and had carefully read through it.

Hiruzen found that, apart from his mediocre ninja talent, Obito was impeccable in every other aspect, a true inheritor of the Will of Fire.

Even his ninja talent couldn't be called mediocre, because Obito had awakened the Sharingan. Any Uchiha ninja who awakened the Sharingan was a top-tier Jonin.

"Kakashi should have already told you about the inspection."

Hiruzen asked with the smile of a kind old man.

If Obito didn't have any major problems, he could handle this matter with leniency and give Obito a light punishment.

Currently, the Uchiha clan was dominated by hawks. If an Uchiha like Obito, who possessed the Will of Fire, returned, he might be able to help Uchiha Itachi postpone the coup and ease the conflict.

"It's not that the village doesn't trust you, it's just that there are many ninjutsu and secret techniques in the ninja world with miraculous effects. Sometimes, those who are hit by these techniques don't even realize they have fallen into the schemes of enemy ninja villages."

Hiruzen said with a sigh.

"I understand the village's difficulties. I believe the village will never wrong a good person, nor will it let go of a bad one."

Obito said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Seeing this, Hiruzen nodded, somewhat satisfied, and said:

"Inoichi, begin."

Upon receiving the order, Yamanaka Inoichi walked up to Obito.

"Try to relax your mind as much as possible, it will be easier this way."

Yamanaka Inoichi reached out his right hand towards the top of Obito's head, reminding him.

"Thank you for the reminder, Inoichi-senpai. I understand."

Obito thanked him, then closed his eyes, revealing a relaxed and content expression.

"Hmm?"

Just as Yamanaka Inoichi's hand was only two centimeters away from Obito's head, Yamanaka Inoichi frowned.

This scene looked somewhat comical to Kakashi and Hiruzen.

It was a bit like the two were performing a mime of "an invisible wall."

"Inoichi, what happened?"

Hiruzen asked immediately.

"Lord Third Hokage, it's like he has an invisible shield on his body, I can't touch him."

Unable to break through, Yamanaka Inoichi withdrew his hand and turned to report to Hiruzen.

Hiruzen was a little surprised, but before he could say anything, Obito spoke up to explain.

"I almost forgot, I've been practicing Sage's Body Protection Art, which prevents all kinds of techniques from touching me. It's possible that Inoichi-senpai's actions were judged by the Body Protection Art as harmful to me, so it was blocked."

Obito said with some annoyance.

In fact, the only person who could make Limitless work fully automatically was Mu Yue, even Kakashi couldn't do it yet.

It's just that Obito had mastered the Transparent World, and coupled with long-term earring training with Kakashi, he simply learned a little bit of Limitless expansion methods, so naturally he couldn't do this step.

Obito's main purpose was to give Hiruzen a show of force, and also to add a bit of credibility to his claims.

Anyway, no one in this world would understand Limitless, so Obito could make up whatever he wanted.

"Body Protection Sage Art?"

The expressions of the three people in the Hokage's office were different, some were surprised, some were doubtful.

"Kakashi, stretch out your hand."

Obito stretched out his right hand and raised it to Kakashi, signaling Kakashi to cooperate.

Kakashi didn't hesitate and stretched out his hand towards Obito's hand.

But just as the two hands were about to touch each other, Kakashi's hand stopped, and Hiruzen and Yamanaka Inoichi could both see that it wasn't Kakashi who stopped voluntarily, his body was still exerting force.

"Try using a ninjutsu."

Obito continued.

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then condensed a little chakra, and a wisp of electricity appeared in Kakashi's hand.

"Don't be afraid of hurting me, just use your full strength."

The electricity became a little brighter, but the result still didn't change, Kakashi's hand and the lightning were unable to touch Obito.

"I wonder what the defense limit of this 'Body Protection Sage Art' is. If it can withstand the bombardment of ten or so explosive tags, then it can almost ignore most ninjutsu in battle."

Hiruzen was surprised, this was much more useful than earth-style wall defense ninjutsu.

With this kind of defensive skill, most of the time you could just attack and not defend, bringing great pressure to the enemy.

"Can you cancel this 'Body Protection Sage Art'? Otherwise, the inspection work might be troublesome."

Yamanaka Inoichi asked.

"Sage Art is also a technique, of course I can, I just forgot just now."

Obito replied with a chuckle, pretending to form a seal.

"Inoichi-senpai, you can come."

Yamanaka Inoichi stretched his hand towards Obito's head again, and sure enough, this time he didn't encounter any resistance and successfully touched Obito's head.

Yamanaka Inoichi quickly condensed chakra and closed his eyes, focusing all his energy on exploring memories.

After a moment, Yamanaka Inoichi opened his eyes and looked at Hiruzen with a solemn expression:

"Lord Third Hokage, Obito is telling the truth, there's nothing wrong with him."

Hearing this, both Hiruzen and Kakashi were stunned.

Obviously, they didn't expect this result.

Kakashi was even thinking about how to plead for Obito, but it turned out that Obito really wasn't lying?

Hiruzen didn't speak, looking like he was deep in thought.

Yesterday, besides asking Kakashi to "protect" Obito, he also sent three elite Anbu to keep an eye on Obito.

According to the Anbu's report, Obito didn't show any abnormal behavior yesterday, nor did he have any contact with Yamanaka Inoichi.

Moreover, Obito didn't have any interaction with Yamanaka Inoichi before the incident, so Yamanaka Inoichi had no reason to favor Obito.

As for Yamanaka Inoichi and Obito betraying together to become spies? That's even more impossible.

The Yamanaka clan is a veteran ninja clan of Konoha, and every clan leader has a pivotal position in Konoha. If Yamanaka Inoichi became a spy, Konoha would really be finished.

The Uchiha clan, which had great conflicts with Konoha, never thought of becoming spies, they just wanted to stage a coup and become Hokage themselves.

When all options are eliminated and only one remains, the last one, no matter how impossible, is the truth.

Obito really entered the ruins of the Sage of Six Paths due to misfortune and gained great benefits, and recently left the ruins and returned to Konoha.

"That's really great."

Hiruzen stroked his goatee and said with a chuckle.

"The village now needs excellent young people like you, Obito."

Although Hiruzen still felt that something was wrong, he couldn't say what it was, so he could only temporarily accept Obito's identity.

"Then Hokage-ossan, can you do me a favor?"

Obito scratched his head and said.

"I don't have a home now, and the people in my clan all think I'm dead. Hokage-ossan, can you publish the news of my return in the newspaper?"

"I can."

Hiruzen thought for a while and agreed.

Obito's request was within reason, and he couldn't refuse.

Of course, in order to prevent Obito from having problems that would lead to a slap in the face later, Hiruzen wouldn't publish anything like "a hero returns" in the newspaper, at most he would just clarify that Obito hadn't died.

After Hiruzen gave the order, the newspaper was quickly published, causing a small wave of discussion in Konoha.

Everyone was discussing who Uchiha Obito was, and how he had such a hard life, being declared dead and then coming back to life.

Besides those who were just gossiping, some Uchiha also discussed this news.

However, the theme of their discussion wasn't Uchiha Obito, but Konoha's persecution of the Uchiha.

"We Uchiha have contributed so much to Konoha, but our clan members have never been in the core power structure. This is blatant persecution of us!"

An Uchiha Jonin said indignantly.

What they cared about wasn't that Obito had died and come back to life, what they cared about was that Obito had died on the battlefield.

"They won't be arrogant for too long. In a few days, Konoha will belong to the Uchiha!"

Another Uchiha said excitedly.

Uchiha Itachi noticed the increasingly fanatical atmosphere within the clan and felt uncomfortable all over.

"With only 'the clan' in their mouths and eyes, how can they possibly succeed in a coup."

Uchiha Itachi was very disappointed with the current Uchiha clan.

Konoha is a collective, and those who only have room for one family in their eyes can't become Hokage.

"Brother, teach me how to practice shuriken techniques."

Sasuke pestered Uchiha Itachi.

"Okay."

Facing his younger brother, Uchiha Itachi's expression softened and he nodded.

He had already agreed to Danzo Shimura's plan to exterminate the clan, and he didn't have much time to spend with Sasuke.

...

"Hiruzen, why didn't you notify me of such a big matter!"

Danzo Shimura directly pushed open the wooden door of the Hokage's office and walked in, looking dissatisfied.

"What big matter?"

Hiruzen felt inexplicable.

"Uchiha Obito! A ninja who disappeared for nine years, and you just simply restored his ninja status?"

Danzo said seriously.

"What if he has been brainwashed by other ninja villages and is a spy lurking in Konoha?"

If it was an ordinary ninja, Danzo wouldn't bother to care, after all, Hiruzen wasn't stupid, and his Anbu weren't just there to eat rice.

But Obito was an Uchiha ninja, and he happened to return to Konoha at the critical moment when the Uchiha were about to stage a coup.

How could Danzo rest assured, he had finally gotten rid of the threat of the Uchiha.

Danzo couldn't allow any accidents to happen to the extermination plan.

"I've already had Inoichi check his memories, and no problems were found."

Hiruzen shook his head and said.

"That's too unsafe. Hand him over to my Root, and I will definitely investigate the truth."

Danzo Shimura revealed his true purpose, saying what he really wanted.

Once he entered Root, even if Uchiha Obito wasn't a spy, he would have to be a spy.

This way, his extermination plan wouldn't be disturbed.

"No."

Hiruzen shook his head.

He had already released Obito, and if he sent Obito to Root again, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?

Moreover, Hiruzen knew what Danzo wanted to do. If Obito really went to Root, who knows what would happen.

Given the relationship between Kakashi and Obito, Kakashi would break down if his close friend who didn't die on the battlefield was tortured in Konoha.

Danzo Shimura didn't give up, arguing and wanting Root to interrogate Obito.

But Hiruzen's attitude was very firm, and he didn't budge at all.

"Hiruzen, you will regret it!"

Having no other choice, Danzo Shimura had to leave a harsh word, and then slammed the wooden door of the Hokage's office shut with a bang.

Leaving the Hokage Building, Danzo Shimura immediately returned to Root and arranged for ninjas to closely monitor Obito. If they found any unusual behavior from Obito, they were to immediately arrest him and bring him to the Root base.

Although this violated the procedure, Danzo Shimura couldn't care less in order to prevent accidents from happening to the extermination plan.

After all, he had directly gouged out Shisui's eyes, so what did it matter to forcibly arrest an ordinary Uchiha.

Both Root and Anbu were monitoring Obito.

Objectively speaking, Konoha's Anbu were among the elite in the entire ninja world.

But wanting to monitor Obito was overestimating themselves.

In front of Obito, who had Observation Haki, this so-called monitoring was no different from standing next to him in broad daylight.

"This era of the ninja world is too friendly to me."

After Obito sensed that there were two more people monitoring him, he smiled and continued to do his own thing.

Let them monitor, it wouldn't hinder him.

On the second day after he crossed over, when his shadow clone used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave and found Yamanaka Inoichi and cast a genjutsu on him, Anbu didn't even notice.

Obito had too many ways to hide from Anbu.

"It's time to go to the Uchiha clan compound. In five days, Itachi and the others will make their move."

Obito looked at the time, got up, went out, and headed towards the Uchiha clan compound.

Today was his fourth day in Konoha.

He had collected almost all the information about this parallel world Konoha, and it was very similar to the number one parallel world in his memory. Whether it was on the surface or hidden in the dark, there were no ninjas who could pose a threat to him.

Although Obito believed that he had the strength to be invincible without the Sage of Six Paths, this was a parallel world, and if something happened, there was no Mu Yue immortal to remedy it, so he had to be cautious.

What if there was really a Sage of Six Paths level ninja hidden in the ninja school or library who had mastered the Bloodline Encirclement, wouldn't that be terrible.

After Obito's repeated confirmation, he determined that this Konoha was indeed not strong, and the strongest ninja was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Because Obito's matter had caused some waves in the Uchiha clan, he was quickly recognized by the Uchiha in the clan compound.

"You're that Obito from the newspaper, right?"

An Uchiha ninja took the initiative to talk to Obito.

"That's right, it's me."

Obito nodded and replied.

"Your housing selection hasn't been finalized yet, what are you doing in the clan compound so soon?"

The Uchiha ninja asked.

After all, it was a coup, and recently the Uchiha ninjas had been quite nervous, worried that things would be exposed and they would be besieged by Konoha troops.

Only Obito was an Uchiha; if it were a regular ninja, he would have been blasted out already.

"I just got back, so I'm looking at where I'll be living in the future."

Obito explained with a chuckle.

The Uchiha ninja thought about it and felt it made sense, so he ignored Obito.

As he said, Obito wandered around the Uchiha clan grounds, and just as he was about to leave, he ran into the Uchiha Itachi brothers who were training in the forest.

When Obito arrived, Sasuke had just thrown several shuriken, all of which accurately hit the bullseye.

"Not bad, little Sasuke is very impressive."

Obito clapped and praised.

"Hehe."

Although he didn't recognize Obito, no one dislikes hearing good things, and Sasuke showed a happy smile.

"You know Sasuke?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Obito suspiciously.

He had been monitoring the Uchiha clan for a long time and knew the Uchiha clan's situation like the back of his hand.

Sasuke was born after Obito's "sacrifice", and now it was Obito's first time returning to the Uchiha clan grounds, so why would Obito know Sasuke?

"Of course, I also know Naruto."

Obito replied casually.

"That Naruto is always arguing with me, it's so annoying."

Hearing Naruto's name, Sasuke pouted, a little unhappy.

"He cares about you, but he's not very good at talking, that's all."

Obito helped explain.

"Is that so?"

Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi with a questioning gaze.

Of course, he trusted his brother more than a stranger.

"Maybe."

Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment and replied.

Sasuke was as excellent as he was, which also made it difficult for Sasuke to make friends, just like him.

After all, being too excellent always attracts jealousy.

Uchiha Itachi hoped that Sasuke could make more friends, because in a few days, Sasuke would have to walk alone.

"Then I'll talk to him properly next time."

Sasuke said.

Obito didn't waste too much time here and left quickly.

However, when passing by Uchiha Itachi, Obito left a light remark that made Uchiha Itachi's blood run cold.

"Putting hope in others is not as good as accompanying them yourself."

Uchiha Itachi stared intently at Obito's back, Sasuke called him several times but he didn't respond.

"Could it be that he knows about the extermination plan? Impossible, even the Third Hokage doesn't know about this plan, how would a ninja who just returned to the village know? Could it be that he is also from Root?"

Countless guesses flashed through Uchiha Itachi's mind in an instant.

……

"That kid must be scared by me."

Obito thought happily on the way back.

Obito didn't have a good evaluation of Uchiha Itachi.

But he was going to help save the clan, so having a little fun shouldn't be too much.

"Watch me, Obito the Sage, smash all the tragedies!"

Obito hummed a little tune all the way into the Hokage Building, heading towards the Hokage's office.

Due to the surveillance of the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi received the news before Obito even reached the Hokage Building.

So Obito didn't encounter any obstacles and entered the Hokage's office without hindrance.

"Third Hokage, I want to report that the Uchiha clan intends to stage a coup!"

After entering the Hokage's office, Obito immediately put on an anxious and urgent look and shouted.
