Chapter 285 A day full of coincidences
"The above is almost the reason why I hurriedly asked the ANBU to interrupt your family gathering... I'm sorry, Fugaku, it is such an important day to reunite with my family, but I have to let you stay because of such an unexpected incident. Sorry."
In the Hokage's office, after listening to Namikaze Minato briefly explain the cause of the matter, Uchiha Fugaku with a serious face turned to look at Uchiha Sasuke behind him who looked confused, and Uchiha Sasuke who showed a thoughtful expression. Uchiha Itachi took a few deep breaths and then slowly asked:
"In other words... what happened this time was because Naruto accidentally rescued an unknown Uchiha tribesman in the alleys of Konoha and heard his name from his mouth. Highlighted, right?"
"Well, that's about it," Namikaze Minato nodded, then took out the turtle-shaped Noble Phantasm that Naruto picked up from his desk, pointed at it and said:
"Although we have generally ruled out the possibility that the other party is a member of the Uchiha clan of Konoha, I still want to confirm with you Fugaku... is this strange Noble Phantasm belonging to the Uchiha clan?"
"No, no," Uchiha Fugaku decisively denied this possibility, "There are not a few secret treasures of the Uchiha clan, but among them, there should be no treasures like this. I can be very sure. Give this answer.”
"Then that Uchiha whose origin is unknown seems very suspicious."
Namikaze Minato sighed, then turned to look at Uchiha Itachi who wanted to say something, "Does Itachi have any ideas?"
"When I was training at Kirigakure, I saw a drawing... similar to this treasure from Mizukage-sama."
Uchiha Itachi cleared his throat, pointed to the quiet "plow" on the table and said:
"I was very curious and asked Mizukage-sama what was depicted on that drawing, and why it was hung in a conspicuous place in the library with a reward...
Then he told me that this is a secret treasure that the Otsutsuki clan somehow lost in the ninja world. It has the power to allow people with Otsutsuki blood and chakra to travel through time and space and return to the past. He can learn something about the future. The reason for this is because I once met a future person who held this treasure and traveled against time from the future..."
"A future person with the blood of the Otsutsuki clan who goes against time...?"
Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku looked at each other, and saw a troubled look in each other's eyes.
A person from the future traveling against time, this alone is enough to involve the man rescued by Naruto into a huge whirlpool, and if there are also elements of the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline added to him, then The difficulty of the matter will be increased several times.
And just when everyone in the Hokage's office was digesting this shocking fact, a newly added dedicated line communication device in the Hokage's office made another noise that no one could ignore.
"Huh? Kakashi? Why..."
Namikaze Minato looked at this communication device that was specially built to get in touch with Kakashi Hatake, Konoha's liaison ambassador to the Akatsuki organization. He frowned and connected the communication with anxiety.
"Moxi Moxi, is Minato-sensei here?"
The communication was connected, and Kakashi Hatake's somewhat listless face quickly appeared on the screen. He habitually greeted Minato Namikaze, and then Minato Namikaze took the initiative to ask him about it. The reason for the contact, Kakashi Hatake spoke faster:
"Kirigakure sent a message to Uchiha Shisui, who serves as the ambassador of the Akatsuki organization, saying that there are very important things to communicate with Konoha. Do you have time to contact Kirigakure now, Minato-sensei? ?”
"Is that so? It just so happens that we also have important things to communicate with Kirigakure. Since the two things collided coincidentally, let's deal with them together."
Minato Namikaze kept a calm expression and nodded to Kakashi Hatake on the other end. After receiving Minato Namikaze's response, Kakashi Hatake turned his head half surprised and half relaxed. , said to another person next to him:
"You heard that too, right, Shisui?"
"Well, I heard it... What a coincidence, isn't it, Kakashi-senpai?" Uchiha Shisui's brisk and bright voice came from outside the screen.
"I don't think this coincidence is a pleasant thing... Let's arrange a call between the two parties as soon as possible. I always feel that this will be another major event that affects the situation and development of the entire ninja world after the moon crash incident."
Therefore, under the premise that both Konoha and Kirigakure had communication needs, the communication between the two parties was quickly established. After a flash of noise, the figure wearing white clothes and the horns on her head became more obvious. The stunned figure of Rei Kaguya appeared on the small screen, and in a tone as if greeting a neighbor with whom he had a good relationship, he said to the people in Konoha:
"Hey, good evening, everyone... I didn't expect that on such an ordinary day that seems to have nothing unusual, we would encounter a situation that requires active communication."
"Ah, this is indeed an unexpected situation."
Namikaze Minato nodded, then picked up the "plow" whose purpose had just been revealed by Itachi Uchiha, made it appear in Kaguya Rei's sight, and asked in a deep voice:
"This thing shouldn't be unfamiliar to Mizukage-sama, right?"
"Huh? Is this thing where you are?"
Kaguya Rei showed a somewhat surprised expression at first, but then as if he thought of something, he nodded gently and said in a calm tone:
"But that's right. Since the person we picked up here doesn't have a 'plow' for traveling through time and space, it's normal for it to appear on your side... After all, it's on the world line over there. , you Konoha are the protagonists of the ninja world."
"Sure enough, Kirigakure also picked up the blood descendant of Otsutsuki who traveled through time and space?"
Namikaze Minato glanced at Uchiha Itachi, whose expression became increasingly serious and dignified, and then turned to Kaguya Rei and asked.
"Well, I think, given your status, calling the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of the Uzumaki clan that we accidentally picked up as the blood descendant of Otsutsuki might hurt his heart a little bit... Consider changing the name for him. How about it, Hokage-sama?"
Kaguya Rei glanced at someone beside her and said with a somewhat sympathetic tone.
