"I did not betray any information about Konoha Village."

"I met a strange old man who saved me and healed my body."

Every word Obito spoke was spoken with a clear conscience and utterly genuine. After all, it was the truth.

"A strange old man?"

"what is his name?"

Obito shook his head: "I don't know."

Danzo immediately pointed at him: "You're lying! Do you think I've been the leader of Root for so long for nothing?"

Obito activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, a shadow crossing his eyes, and said earnestly, "I'm not lying! If Grandpa hadn't suddenly disappeared and disappeared without a trace, I wouldn't have..."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone turned serious: "Missing? Were you captured? Or did you leave on your own?"

Obito shook his head: "If I had known, I wouldn't have left without repaying that old man."

Because of Obito's personality, Hiruzen Sarutobi had the Anbu investigate him, and only after confirming his kindness did they allow him to join Minato's team.

I just didn't expect...

"Alright! We understand the situation to a certain extent. Now, Chief Fugaku will take you away."

"Hiruzen! We haven't even gotten any information out of them yet. What if they are..."

Before Danzo could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately stood up and interrupted him: "Enough, Danzo! I am the Hokage!"

Danzo gritted his teeth in anger: "You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

......

The interrogation lasted only a few minutes.

In the conference room next to this one, Fugaku Uchiha, Sasuke, and Boruto Uzumaki were waiting.

"Alright, Clan Chief Fugaku, Obito is fine, it really is him. From now on, I'll leave him to your care. I see his injuries are quite severe, and it seems that person did something to Obito's body. It's best to take him to the hospital for a checkup."

"Thank you for your help, Hokage-sama."

"Need not."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and gave Obito, whose eyes were filled with complicated emotions, a push: "Go on. Your grandma is still waiting for you at home."

grandmother?

Obito's gloomy mood improved for a moment, but the thought of Rin quickly brought his gloomy mood back up.

......

"I was wondering why there would be a wild Otsutsuki Urashiki out of nowhere. It turns out you guys traveled to the wrong time." Shirahoshi shook her head slightly, wearing an Anbu uniform, leaning against the eaves of a building, observing the two people inside the Hokage Building with her chakra eyes activated.

He changed the subject, his tone mocking: "However, it would be quite amusing if Sasuke knew how useless he would be in the future."

"Baihe, what are you doing here?" Bai Xing suddenly heard someone call her name, and immediately turned around. Seeing the spiky-haired ANBU woman, she immediately said, "I'm monitoring those Uchiha clan members. But Kuromaru, what are you doing here?"

Inuzuka Tsuru pointed in Obito's direction and said helplessly, "The club president just gave us all an extra task: to keep an eye on Uchiha Obito, who just returned. To keep him away from the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as much as possible."

Shirahoshi nodded and adjusted her mask: "That's true. Even though the data says Obito Uchiha is friendly, he's been through so much and is from the inherently evil Uchiha clan. If something happens to him, it won't be good."

Kiba Inuzuka said helplessly again, "Hakutsuru, not all members of the Uchiha clan are like that."

Bai Xing coldly replied, "Perhaps."

Seeing Hakutsuru like this, Kiba Inuzuka looked helpless, after all, this guy was originally an ANBU ninja from Danzo's Root.

......

Find an excuse to leave your post, shed your disguise, and head to the Konoha Money Exchange...

Ninja World Bank - Konoha Branch

"Tsk tsk. They changed their name, huh."

Bai Xing, wearing a mask and holding a bankbook, skillfully raised her hands and used Loulan's latest research product—a sweeping gun—on the two guards.

This is an instrument specifically designed to check transformation techniques.

The previous instrument was a product of the Land of Lightning. It could release a little static electricity, leaving a small, slightly reddish mark on the person's body to determine whether the person had used a transformation technique.

Now that we've changed the equipment, the entry speed is much faster.

"Hello, I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with Ms. Fukuyama Sawa. The amount is no less than one billion yen."

Bai Xing swaggered to the counter, lifted her sunglasses to reveal a pair of starry eyes, and looked at the two counter ladies who immediately became infatuated with her.

soon.

He arrived at the manager's office on the second floor as he had hoped.

"My lovely and charming bank manager, it's been a long time. Today I have a business deal worth no less than one billion to discuss with you."

"Sir, please have some self-respect."

"..."

Shirahoshi slightly withdrew her hand from Fukuyama Sawa's small hand.

Clearly, Fukuyama Sawa, who had been working so hard for three years, seemed angry because she hadn't heard a single word from her.

"Speaking of which, where are your two guards? I haven't seen them in a long time."

Fukuyama Sawa adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and parted her lips slightly: "Kiyoko got married. She lives in the Fire Capital now, and the two of them work together..."

"Who is it? Who is it? It can't be that guy named Takeya, can it?"

Fukuyama Sawa shook her head: "It wasn't him. It was another boy."

Bai Xing couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity, I still didn't manage to catch him. Speaking of which, what about that kid Yuan Xin now?"

Fukuyama Sawa raised her head, glanced at Shirahoshi, and then said, "I'm alright. My father is preparing to retire, and my brother will soon succeed him. The former daimyo suddenly fell ill and died a year ago; he is now the daimyo of the Land of Fire."

Shirahoshi nodded: "That's good, that's good. And what about you? What's my Miss Sawa doing now?"

Fukuyama Sawa rolled her eyes, let out a deep breath, put down her pen, took off her glasses, and rubbed her temples. "Busy. Too much work to do. Look at me, I have several more gray hairs, and my skin looks old."

Shirahoshi came up behind Fukuyama Sawa and gave her a shoulder massage: "You've worked hard. Tonight, let your husband treat you well."

Fukuyama Sawa glared at Shirahoshi again, annoyed: "You. You do this as soon as you get back."

"But are you really going to attack the Land of Fire then?"

Bai Xing paused slightly as she massaged Bai Xing's shoulders.

"I don't have that in mind yet... Hey! How did you figure that out? I hadn't thought of it that way. We're already preparing to attack the Land of Wind, but we haven't made any plans for the Land of Fire yet."

As she spoke, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Bai Xing's eyes: "After all, that kid was practically my follower back then. It would be really embarrassing to force him to become the ruler of a destroyed country."

Fukuyama Sawa reached out and grabbed Shirahoshi's hand: "Promise me. Give him a way out, and give my father a way out too."

"it is good."

"But the office is a nice environment too."

"Ugh~ There are still people down there."

"Don't worry, they can't hear you..."

......

A bizarre theft of the Three-Tails occurred in Kirigakure. It was ultimately revealed that the deceased Kirigakure captain had orchestrated this plan under the guise of the Fourth Mizukage's authority. However, because the captain was backed by a member of the village's clan, the matter was eventually left unresolved.

However, compared to the farce in Kirigakure, after several days of stalemate between the Land of Wind and the ancient kingdom of Loulan, the first war finally broke out, and everyone realized that the ancient kingdom of Loulan was serious.

The capital of the Kingdom of Wind—the City of Wind.

Everyone assumed the war was a contest between ninja villages, so the ninja forces recalled by Sunagakure were almost entirely focused on protecting Sunagakure itself, with little emphasis on protecting the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

After all, they believed that the ancient Loulan Kingdom was not so bold as to attack the capital of the Wind Kingdom in full view of everyone and do something so rebellious.

This absurd feeling is like playing chess and only starting to checkmate someone when you think they're going to capture other pieces.

As a result, you didn't take a single piece and went straight for checkmate!

"This is outrageous! Who does he think he is! What right does he have to detain me! I am..."

puff!

—The daimyo of the Land of Wind, died.

Inside the luxurious house, the daimyo's beautiful concubines embraced each other.

Xia Xue, holding up an ice blade, said coldly, "Anyone who is as ignorant of the current situation as him will die along with us."

"By the way, where is your name? I need to see him."

The concubines exchanged glances, their eyes finally settling on the daimyo of the Land of Wind, who lay dead in a pool of blood on the table.

Xia Xue: "......"

"Don't tell me he's Daimyo..." Xia Xue felt a sense of foreboding. The Queen had ordered her to capture Daimyo to use as a knocker at the door, and she had actually killed him?!

The concubines immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Damn! He's really dead! What am I going to do?"

"What's wrong, Snow?"

"Kushina, it's over. I killed the daimyo."

"What! You killed Daimyo! How could you do this! How could you kill him! He was very useful! You're finished! It's said this was the Dean's plan!"

Xia Xue's face turned ashen, and she involuntarily raised her ice blades, preparing to commit seppuku: "I'm sorry to the Dean, I'm sorry to the Queen, I'm sorry to the people of Loulan who believed in me, please let me..."

Kushina extended her silver chains to stop Natsuyuki's ice blades from advancing.

"Are you an idiot! Why don't you find his son? Just let his son inherit the title, wouldn't that still be the title of daimyo?"

"Oh right!" Xia Xue suddenly realized, "Then let's hurry up and find his son. By the way, where is his son...?"

Kushina revealed a kind expression as she looked at the concubines in front of her.

Natsuki followed Kushina's gaze and looked over at the same time, revealing a similarly kind expression.

Concubines with sons: "..."

Suddenly, I don't want my son to compete for this prestigious name anymore...
