Konoha's Strongest Technician

"Minato-sensei, this is it."

Obito said as he finally arrived at his destination under the leadership of A Fei.

Minato nodded slightly, and he looked at the mountain carefully. From the appearance alone, there was no sign of being hollowed out at the bottom of the mountain.

As expected of Uchiha Madara, he is indeed cautious!

Minato thought to himself.

It is obvious that the path into the base has been blocked. If it is forcibly opened, the people inside will be alarmed.

"Minato-sensei, I'll have my clone use earth escape to sneak in and investigate. This way, if danger arises, we can take precautions in advance."

Kakashi, who had just been released from the Kamui space by Obito, saw this scene and made a suggestion.

"Well, be careful."

Minato did not refuse verbally, he was still aware of Kakashi Earth Release's strength.

After all, ordinary people can't carve a dog's head on a wall of earth.

"Don't worry, teacher."

Kakashi formed a seal with his hands, separated out the thunder escape shadow clone, and quickly dived.

Ok?

Ten minutes later, Kakashi's mind moved, and he received the message from the clone.

The underground base has been evacuated?

Although he had already guessed that Madara who exposed the information would definitely take precautions.

But how did he transport such a big ten-tails away?

Unless, he can use tens of thousands of White Zetsu at the same time!

If this is the case, Madara's hidden power is not weak at all!

Kakashi was shocked in his heart, but remained calm on the outside.

"Minato-sensei, the underground base is empty!"

"Oh? Have you left already... Come on, let's go down and have a look!"

When Minato-sensei heard this, he made an immediate decision.

In fact, he hoped to have direct contact with Uchiha Madara so as to analyze the information related to him.

But now that the other party has evacuated, we can only try to use the remaining traces to find some clues.

Soon, Minato and others stood in front of the stone chair where Madara used to sit every day.

"Obito, are you saying that he has been sitting here without moving, relying entirely on the heretic demon to maintain his life?"

Minato stared at the stone chair and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, teacher, Madara has been sitting here before and never moved!"

Obito gritted his teeth and replied bitterly.

After being told by Kakashi that all this was Madara's conspiracy, he no longer called Madara his senior!

It was this damn old spotted head that made him almost kill Kakashi with his own hands!

"According to your description, the Heretic Golem is a thousand meters high."

"And Madara has overdrawn his life early and relies entirely on the golem to maintain his life."

"Then Madara won't be able to remove it on his own, unless there are enough White Zetsus to help!"

Minato made a quick judgment based on the information he currently had.

As expected of Minato-sensei, he can draw the correct conclusion based on these clues alone!

Kakashi secretly praised.

"Fei, before you left Madara, how many White Zetsus did he create?"

Minato turned to look at Fei who was wandering around looking for traces of similar people.

"Ah? Let me do the math, one, two, three, four..."

Ah Fei was stunned for a moment, and then he counted on his fingers seriously.

"..."

When everyone saw this, their heads were covered with black lines.

"Forget it, let me change the question again. If you were asked to move the heretic demons, how many would it take for you to move them?"

Minato interrupted directly.

Otherwise, at A Fei's speed, I'm afraid it wouldn't even take an hour!

"I know this question!"

As soon as Ah Fei heard this, he jumped up happily.

"As for six thousand Ah Fei!"

Six thousand? !

Minato was shocked.

On the way here, Obito told him that A Fei was different from other Bai Zetsu and that he was stronger.

Doesn't that mean that the number of Bai Zetsu under Madara's command is conservatively estimated to be eight thousand, or even tens of thousands!

What is the concept of tens of thousands of whites!

That's tens of thousands of chuunin, which is equivalent to the combat power of a large ninja village!

What's more, he has also seen A Fei's mayfly skills.

Without deliberately turning on the perception, it is difficult to detect even if it is hidden under your feet. It is simply the most perfect spy!

With this kind of quantity, it would be easy for Madara to eavesdrop on the intelligence of the five major countries!

Even if Madara launches a sneak attack on a certain ninja village, all Bai Zetsu will sneak in and assassinate the villagers while they are sleeping, which will definitely cause unpredictable losses!

For such a terrifying enemy, Konoha currently has no way of tracking its whereabouts.

If Hokage-sama knew about it, he would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating!

As for Danzo-sama, he will probably take the opportunity to attack the Uchiha clan!

If this is the case, Fugaku's situation may be...

Minato shook his head and sighed at the thought of the pressure his old friend was about to face.

"Minato-sensei, can you, don't report Uchiha Madara's matter to the Hokage yet?"

Kakashi, who had been observing Minato-sensei's expression, suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Why do you think so? According to ninja regulations, such important matters are not allowed to be concealed."

Minato looked at Kakashi seriously.

"Teacher, according to Obito's description, Madara's plan is to collect nine tailed beasts."

"But based on Madara's current state, it is impossible for him to take action himself."

"It would be too naive to rely on those White Zetsu alone to kidnap the Jinchūriki from the Ninja Village. Madara would not do that."

"Judging from his kidnapping of Obito, he is looking for an heir to his own will, and this heir is obviously of Uchiha blood."

"Let's not talk about whether the war will end soon. He who is not easy to get started can be tied to a suitable target."

"Even if you find them, successfully cultivating them and launching a plan to collect tailed beasts won't be possible in just a few years."

"So, the other party can very well go dormant again, cultivate forces and increase its strength."

"This means that we have enough time to prepare."

Kakashi analyzed carefully.

"But once the top management of Konoha learns about Madara now, the Uchiha clan will inevitably be implicated, and Obito, who has accepted Madara's inheritance, will be subject to strict scrutiny and surveillance, and may even lose his freedom!"

"Kakashi..."

Obito, who had been listening to the conversation, was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he was thinking about himself.

"Minato-sensei, the Third Master is already old."

"According to my judgment, he will choose you as his new heir within one year after the war ends!"

"Once you become Hokage, these problems will be solved!"

"This is good for you, the Uchiha clan, and Obito!"

Kakashi's clear boyish voice echoed in the empty cave, making it loud and clear.

Minato was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Kakashi to have such a thorough understanding of the situation in the village at such a young age!

Indeed, if Kakashi said it true, then he, who already had Fugaku's support, would also be the beneficiary.

But if something big is delayed, wouldn’t it be...

"Kakashi, you have a point, but rules are rules. First of all, we are ninjas of Konoha..."

"Minato-sensei, a ninja is someone who can endure things that are unbearable for ordinary people, right?"

"Madara's plan is dark enough and huge enough, and it may even destroy the world!"

"If such a plan is revealed to Elder Danzo, do you think he will use it to take action against the Uchiha people?"

At this point, Kakashi simply showed off his cards.

That's right, Danzo is the one I'm guarding against!

"Kakashi, you can't speculate on the elders so casually. Elder Danzo is also for Konoha..."

Minato-sensei subconsciously retorted, but when he said the words "for Konoha", he obviously lacked confidence.

How could someone as smart as him, who often communicates with Fugaku, not see this?

"Minato-sensei, you respect Hokage-sama and the elders. There is no problem with that."

"But this matter may very well be related to the life and death of the Uchiha clan. You must think twice!"

"And, do you think Hokage-sama would hide this kind of news from Danzo?"

They are so good friends that they wear the same pair of pants and sleep with the same person...!

Kakashi added silently in his mind.

After hearing what Kakashi said, Minato fell into deep thought.

Although he has a bright personality and even acts naturally silly sometimes, he is not naive!

On the contrary, he could see clearly whether it was the battle situation or the situation in the village.

I was going to report to the Hokage before, firstly because of my responsibilities, and secondly because he still trusts the Third Generation.

But now Kakashi has identified the key to the problem, and he has to think about the future of the Uchiha clan.

If it was really because of his actions that the Uchiha clan was hostile, he would have even acted more excessively.

That would go against his original intention of uniting all Konoha villagers and completely eliminating prejudice and exclusion!

"Okay. After the war, I will investigate privately first, and then decide whether to report it to the superior based on the situation."

After thinking for a long time, Minato finally nodded in agreement.

"Thank you Minato-sensei!"

Kakashi also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the teacher's statement.

He knew how difficult it was for Minato-sensei to make this decision.

Once Konoha suffers heavy losses due to the concealment of intelligence, Minato-sensei's political career in the village will be completely over!

Even if you become Hokage, you can only take the blame and resign!
