Chapter 74 Flirting Under the Moon: The Evidence is Conclusive – It's Uchiha Kagami?
The three moved quickly, taking Kushina with them and retreating into the distance.
They're not stupid; they won't let their guard down just because Konoha has been invaded by others and their people have been drawn away.
They won't let their guard down until they successfully leave the Land of Fire with Kushina.
However, he was still excited about the success of the mission and did not notice Kushina's little actions.
Kushina obediently followed the three, but secretly she threw her distinctive long red hair on the ground as a clue, hoping someone would discover her whereabouts.
But at the same time, I felt a little sad, because I was ultimately just an outsider, and I was afraid that no one would risk their life to save an outsider like me.
Night had fallen, and dark clouds obscured the moon, making the forest path exceptionally dim.
Even experienced ninjas must proceed with caution.
Suddenly, a blur flashed by, and a Cloud Village ninja disappeared.
"What's going on!"
The other two turned around and only saw their companion lying on the ground; they saw nothing else.
The next moment, another person fell to the ground.
The Jonin leading the team also learned that someone was launching a sneak attack from the shadows.
They were careless just now, too excited about their success to realize that someone was attacking them.
The Jonin leading the team immediately tensed up and quickly jumped up a tree.
They carefully and cautiously observed their surroundings.
But he didn't notice the figure coming from behind.
Minato's attack was clean and swift, striking the man squarely on the back of the head.
Having landed a successful blow, he instantly lost consciousness and fell from the treetop.
Having successfully defeated all the enemies, Minato jumped down from the tree.
At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the moon. Moonlight shone on the path through the forest, and Minato's figure appeared in front of Kushina.
"Are you alright? I'm here to rescue you."
After being forced to run all night by three Hidden Cloud Village ninjas, Kushina wearily raised her head and looked ahead. Only then did she notice that the ninjas from other villages were gone, and a boy she recognized was standing in front of her.
Seeing Minato come to rescue her, Kushina smiled with delight, but after relaxing, a wave of exhaustion washed over her, and she collapsed forward.
First she was kidnapped, and then she ran such a long distance late at night. She was exhausted both mentally and physically.
Minato rushed forward to support Kushina.
"It's alright now, I'll take you back to the village."
As he spoke, he picked her up.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Kushina wanted to say something more, but Minato took her and leaped out of the forest.
Under the moonlight, Kushina carefully observed the handsome features of the young man before her.
"As expected of Minato, flirting with girls under the moonlight."
Tetsuya, who had just finished his acting show with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, rushed over immediately. As luck would have it, he arrived just in time to witness Minato flirting with a girl under the moonlight.
"It's all pretty good, everything makes sense. The only thing that doesn't make sense is that the strength of these two Chunin and one Jonin is a bit weak."
As he spoke, he walked over to the three ninjas who were lying on the ground, looked them over carefully, and kicked them twice.
"You didn't kill him, you just knocked him unconscious? As expected of Minato, you really are a little sun. It's a pity that you're too merciful to your enemies."
Tetsuya took out three kunai from his pocket and casually tossed them, piercing the hearts of the three men.
In order to better carry out his next plan, the only ones who can successfully return alive from this mission are those two idiots, Yeruka and Yurubi.
After eliminating Minato's threat, Tetsuya turned and left, heading ahead to the rendezvous point to wait for the other Kumogakure ninja who would return alive.
In the conference room of the Hokage Building in Konoha, the Konoha F4 reunited, along with the legendary Sannin.
Danzo's first sentence was...
"Hiruzen, the village was attacked right after the war ended. This is a dereliction of duty on your part as Hokage!"
It can only be said that Danzo is still the same Danzo, and he has never given up on his goal of dethroning Hiruzen Sarutobi and taking over for himself.
"Alright, Danzo, that's enough. Nobody expected the enemy to attack the village."
It was Mitokado Homura who stepped in to smooth things over.
"It's getting late. The village has just been attacked and needs repairs tomorrow. Hiruzen, just tell me what's on your mind."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at everyone present and spoke.
"Everyone, I now know who attacked the village."
"who is it?"
"That person is Kagami, Uchiha Kagami."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
When Shimura Danzo heard Hiruzen Sarutobi say that the mysterious person who attacked the village was Uchiha Kagami, he immediately stood up, slammed his fist on the table, and roared.
"Uchiha Kagami is dead! He's dead! How can a dead person be brought back to life!"
"Danzo, are you questioning me?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi also retorted without holding back.
"Danzo, Hiruzen, both of you calm down and talk things out."
"That's right, let's talk this out. What can't be discussed?"
Although the two slackers were also somewhat surprised, and they didn't quite believe in the possibility of the dead coming back to life, they were more interested in figuring out what was going on than yelling and shouting like Danzo.
"Hiruzen, explain yourself clearly. Why are you so certain that person is Uchiha Kagami? What's your reasoning?"
Danzo sat down, staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi with his only remaining eye, wanting to see what Hiruzen Sarutobi could say.
"Actually, I had already begun to suspect that the masked man named Tobi was Kagami when Jiraiya and the others came back last time."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave his reasoning for judging that the other party was Kagami.
First, Jing's body was left unattended and not recovered, so they couldn't be sure whether he was truly dead.
Then there's the fact that the masked man seems very familiar with his own moves and calls himself a monkey. The only people who would call themselves monkeys are those who followed the Second Hokage back then.
And that person was an Uchiha, a Uchiha who was very familiar with the village.
Furthermore, not many people outside Konoha knew about the existence of the Book of Seals, and that person went straight to the Hokage Building to find it.
as well as......
Hiruzen Sarutobi explained his thoughts one by one.
The two rowers nodded repeatedly, agreeing that there was some truth to it.
"The most crucial point is that when I exposed the masked man's identity and called out Uchiha Kagami's name, his reaction was very strong, and he vehemently denied that he was Uchiha Kagami."
And this only made me more certain that the person hiding behind the mask was Mirror.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he looked at the three legendary Sannin.
"Jiraiya and the others can also testify to this last point; they saw it at the time as well."
Jiraiya and the other two nodded, confirming that what their teacher said was true; the masked man's reaction at that time was indeed very strong.
At the same time, Jiraiya added.
"Now that I think about it carefully, that masked man must have been very familiar with the village. He retreated in the direction where there were fewer people in the village, and during the battle, he deliberately avoided crowded places."
Clearly, that person once had some affection for the village.
Orochimaru then added.
"That person is very strong. Although it doesn't sound good, when he fought us, he never used his full strength. It was more like he was instructing an unworthy junior."
