Chapter 200: Chapter 199: Lady Tsunade's Shock!
"What? You're saying there's another person posing as Madara Uchiha!"
Lady Tsunade slapped the table forcefully, stood up in surprise, and raised her voice as she spoke to Yamato.
"Yes, after Kabuto Yakushi and I were captured by the man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha, on our way to escape, he attempted to kill us. Fortunately, Neji passed by and saved us."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade, there must be something fishy about this. Although I don't know the reason, I always feel that the Chakra of that man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha is somewhat familiar..."
Neji hesitated, wondering if he should say what was on his mind. After all, if he did, it might have a negative impact on the unity within Konoha.
"No matter what you've seen, just speak out. I'll bear the consequences!"
"Ah—I just noticed that his Chakra was somewhat familiar, and the Chakra flow in that Sharingan was very similar to Teacher Kakashi's. I've always been curious about how Teacher Kakashi got his Sharingan?"
Just like the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is a precious Kekkei Genkai. It's extremely important to preserve each Sharingan, not to mention giving one to Kakashi.
As a ninja of Konoha Village, if Kakashi obtained a Sharingan, would the Uchiha clan really not inquire about it at all?
Everyone's eyes fixed on Kakashi. He obviously panicked and unconsciously took a half - step back.
"This doesn't really have much to do with me. My Sharingan was given to me by my late friend back then. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was also aware of this."
"Indeed, if Kakashi's Sharingan had an improper origin, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have overlooked it!"
Neji frowned while looking at Kakashi. He didn't doubt Kakashi's loyalty at all, yet...
"Teacher Kakashi, are you sure your friend is dead? Where is his body now?"
This seemed to be a heavy topic. Kakashi's expression darkened in an instant as he tried hard to recall the past pain.
"The person who gave me his eye is Obito Uchiha. During the Third Ninja War, he was buried under the ruins to save me. Half of his body was crushed by the rocks, and he eventually died in the pitch - black underground."
Thinking about Obito back then, he wondered what kind of mood Obito was in when he gave him the Sharingan as a gift, and how he himself had failed to keep his promise and protect Rin well.
"Being buried under the ruins means that no one witnessed his death?"
Feeling Neji's skeptical tone, Kakashi immediately shook his head in denial.
"That's impossible. As I said before, half of his body was crushed into a pulp by the rocks. There's no way he could have survived!"
"Was it the right half of his body that was crushed?"
Hearing Neji's confident tone, a trace of doubt gradually rose in Kakashi's heart.
"That's right. But how do you know?"
"Now everything adds up, Teacher Kakashi. Your old friend from back then didn't die. Instead, he's wearing a mask and posing as Madara Uchiha, trying to start The Fourth Great Ninja World War! I can see clearly with these Byakugan. Half of his body shows signs of being crushed and then repaired!"
"Impossible!"
Kakashi absolutely couldn't believe such a preposterous thing could happen. If Obito was still alive, why didn't he come to find him?
He mustn't let his friend be burdened with such a reputation even in death!
"I think everything fits together!"
Although there wasn't solid evidence yet, Kakashi already had a vague feeling that something was off. As perceptive as he is, he felt that the man claiming to be Madara Uchiha was very likely Obito!
"What should we do now? There are a large number of human - like creatures hidden down there. Looking at the densely packed figures, it's estimated that there are several tens of thousands of them. If they use these people to start The Fourth Great Ninja World War, will it be another great disaster for the ninja world?"
Just thinking about the countless identical people gave Yamato the creeps. Even though they'd figured out the enemy's identity, how were they going to deal with the future crisis?
Tsunade frowned and thought deeply. Indeed, rather than the enemy's identity, they should be more concerned about the conspiracy hidden behind the enemy!
"Kakashi, Gai, go and inform everyone now. Call for a Five Kage Summit!"
"Lady Tsunade!"
Everyone was shocked. The relationships between the villages were full of intrigues and there were constant private frictions. Now they were going to contact the Five Kages to hold a summit. Not to mention whether the other Kages would come, how could they explain to the other countries that the initiator of the Fourth Great Ninja War was very likely someone from the Uchiha clan of Konoha? It's like putting Konoha and the Uchiha clan at the mercy of others.
"Lady Tsunade, I think this is inappropriate. Let's think of other ways?"
Yamato quickly spoke up to stop her. There was no shortage of deception among the five major countries. They didn't have to inform the other countries at all, and besides, the other countries might not even appreciate it.
"No, according to what you said, an army of tens of thousands is beyond Konoha's ability to handle. In this situation, the more united we are, the better. We should unite with other major countries to jointly resist the enemies of the ninja world!"
With Tsunade's unwavering determination, everyone had no choice but to go and do as she said. At this moment, they all couldn't help but have the same question in their minds.
What on earth would the ninja world become?
..............
"Kabuto, you're back. Is the man who claims to be Madara Uchiha very strong?"
"Lord Orochimaru, although I fainted for a while on the way, I still vaguely heard Neji Hyūga from the Hyuga clan say that the man isn't the real Madara Uchiha, but an impostor. Even so, his strength is incredibly strong!"
Orochimaru fell silent. He still remembered the great disaster in the ninja world that Sasuke had told him about two years ago. Now, everything has come true except for the matter related to Madara Uchiha.
What puzzled him now was whether Sasuke knew the real identity of Madara Uchiha.
"Lord Orochimaru, what should we do next? Sasuke of the Sound Five Ninjas and the Taka team follows our words obediently. If things continue like this, it will be hard for us to control them effectively!"
Orochimaru gazed far into the distance.
"Kabuto, those things mentioned don't matter. Now, the most important thing is this great disaster in the ninja world. And we need to figure out what to do. As Sasuke said, no one can avoid this disaster. Maybe everyone's fate was determined from the very beginning..."
