Capítulo 140: Chapter 140
The letter Hyuga Minamoto sent to Kaito wasn't long, but the information it revealed was staggering.
The clan leaders of Konoha were gathering for a meeting, not just any meeting, but a secretive gathering in a secluded valley on the outskirts of the village, in the dead of night.
A conventional meeting would hardly be held in such a cryptic location.
Therefore, the contents of this meeting must pertain to matters that can't be brought into the open—issues that could turn the Leaf Village upside down!
With this realization, Kaito knew he couldn't afford to delay. After handing Karin over to Shisui, he headed alone to the valley.
Konoha's territory was vast, encompassing more than just residential areas—forests enveloped much of the remaining land.
These forests were said to have been created by Hashirama Senju, though few today could likely confirm this.
Beyond these woods were either the walls guarding Konoha or scattered valleys forming natural barriers.
These locations on the outskirts of Konoha were patrolled, but primarily defended by barriers and seals.
Tonight, Kaito was heading there!
On his journey, Kaito evaded a patrol squad and, utilizing his Sharingan, skirted around several barriers to reach his destination.
After looking around and confirming no issues, he began walking towards the target valley. However, he stopped midway.
He slightly lifted his gaze, spotting a figure standing atop a boulder.
This person emanated an intense aura, revealing to any onlooker that he was far from an ordinary figure. Backlit by the moonlight, Kaito instantly recognized him.
"Chief Hyuga, long time no see," Kaito greeted with a smile. Yes, this man was Hyuga Hiashi.
"Chief Kaito, you're late," Hiashi responded, then jumped down from the boulder and walked up to Kaito.
"I just returned to Konoha from outside; the one previously in the village was a shadow clone. So, please excuse my tardiness."
Kaito nonchalantly replied, making no effort to hide this fact from Hiashi.
"You weren't in Konoha?"
Upon hearing this, Hiashi seemed slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure without pressing further.
"I understand, let's go."
Hiashi calmly suggested, and then led Kaito into the valley.
The valley was deep and clearly purposefully arranged, filled with noticeable traps and sealing barriers.
If anyone were to forcefully intrude, they would undoubtedly alert those inside immediately, providing ample time to evaluate whether to retaliate or retreat.
When Kaito and Hiashi reached the heart of the valley, Kaito saw the individuals present. Their appearance made him realize that this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi might truly be in serious trouble!
Besides the Ino-Shika-Cho triad with whom Kaito maintained a reasonable relationship, he also saw Aburame and Inuzuka.
Including Uchiha and Hyuga, that meant the seven most influential clans of Konoha were all assembled in this small valley!
Although Konoha hosted many other minor clans, none could truly compare in terms of influence and power with these seven.
Aside from the Sarutobi clan, which had risen to prominence with the position of Hokage, and the Shimura, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans, which had grown alongside them.
"Seems like everyone is here."
Nara Shikaku spoke after seeing Kaito enter.
"By gathering everyone today, I believe we're all mentally prepared.
Clan Chief Kaito has ample evidence showing that after the Danzo incident, Uchiha made their position clear. Yet, the Hokage still targets them.
Uchiha is part of Konoha, even one of the founding clans. Targeting a clan of Konoha, is absolutely not something a Hokage should do.
Hence, we have tonight's gathering, and this meeting."
Shikaku paused slightly, then turned to Kaito and slowly continued.
"Clan Chief Kaito, do you recall the conversation we had a few months ago when we met?"
"Of course, I remember."
Kaito nodded, knowing there were things he had to say.
What Shikaku had accomplished had genuinely exceeded Kaito's expectations; the man was efficient and fast.
During Kaito's two-month absence from Konoha, Shikaku had managed to persuade not only Hyuga and Aburame but also Inuzuka, along with his allies Yamanaka and Akimichi.
His finesse surpassed Kaito's. Had Kaito attempted this, he might have only succeeded in appeasing the Hyuga. He wasn't sure about the rest.
After all, the Hyuga clan bore a deep grudge against Hiruzen Sarutobi. As long as things were feasible, they likely wouldn't refuse.
As for Aburame and Inuzuka, persuading these two clans would be trickier. Aside from using the Danzo incident to convince them, Kaito didn't seem to have many other tactics.
How Shikaku achieved this wasn't something Kaito needed to contemplate; all he knew was that an opportunity was now before him.
If he didn't seize it, it would be an irreparable mistake.
"Several months ago, I told Clan Chief Shikaku, 'The Hokage is Konoha's Hokage, but Konoha belongs to all of us!'
The Third Hokage has started treating Konoha as his private property, placing himself above the entire village.
While one cannot deny that Konoha remains his first concern, his thoughts and actions have proven a corruption of intent.
This is absolutely not what a qualified Hokage should do. The tragedy of Hyuga Hizashi has already proven everything."
"The recent actions of Uchiha Itachi, along with the intelligence we've received, prove that Hiruzen Sarutobi is no longer suited to continue as the Hokage."
As Kaito got to this point, he paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over all those present, before he spoke resolutely.
"Therefore, as I mentioned to Elder Shikaku, we need to replace the Hokage with someone competent and capable of truly leading Konoha.
At the very least, someone who profoundly understands the responsibilities of the Hokage, and not someone who treats Konoha as their personal possession.
Although we, as members of various clans, are all ninjas of Konoha, we each have our own pride and dignity.
Hence, I propose that we initiate the appropriate action mechanism to..."
"Impeach the Hokage!"
...
When everyone heard Kaito's 'impeach the Hokage', even though they were prepared for it.
After all, they had been persuaded by Nara Shikaku to be here and were well aware of what they were gathering to do.
Yet, when they heard Kaito say it, apart from the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, everyone, including Hyuga Hiashi, couldn't help but be moved.
Impeaching the Hokage, this was unheard of, nobody had ever proposed such an idea before Kaito mentioned it.
But, upon reflection, it seemed that all the previous Hokages of Konoha were not lacking.
The First Hokage brought peace to a chaotic world with his unimaginable power. Even if historical records depicted him as somewhat naive, he had the aid of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who was famously strong.
All the fundamental policies of Konoha were his, the meticulous planning of most departments was his work.
He also established Konoha's education system, perfected its defense system, and proposed the idea of increasing political power for civilian ninjas.
Crucially, he put this idea into action. He contributed many of his researched ninja techniques.
And he got many of the major clans to contribute some insignificant things, so the civilian ninjas had a basic system of ninja techniques to learn and use.
Even though this policy weakened the interests of the major clans, it improved Konoha, building its foundation.
Therefore, even now, while the major clans dislike this policy, nobody opposes it.
Without Konoha, they would be finished!
As for the current Third Hokage, to judge him, we must separate his tenure into two phases.
In the beginning, the Third Hokage was acceptable. After all, he knew he had been handpicked and had not received approval from the major clans.
So he was humble and practical, and during times of war, he personally led the troops into battle.
His performance earned him the respect of everyone. He demonstrated his dedication to Konoha and carried the dignity befitting a Hokage.
At that time, he was called a "Ninja Hero," and even the major clans had to admit that he was a competent Hokage.
But after that, the victorious Hokage began to consolidate his power in Konoha.
He favored his former classmates and stripped many clans of their interests, naturally causing dissatisfaction among the clan ninjas.
However, while he was doing this, he tirelessly expanded the policies of the Second Hokage, and talented civilian ninjas began to emerge like spring bamboo shoots after a rain.
Moreover, when Hiruzen Sarutobi did these things, he did it with caution.
Though the clans lost some benefits, Sarutobi found ways to compensate in other areas, ensuring they could continue to coexist harmoniously.
But everything changed when the Third War arrived.
During the war, he did not go to the battlefield. Instead, many children were pushed into the battlefield, and these kids were only seven or eight years old!
In terms of command, the clan ninjas admitted that he did not have any problems.
But in negotiations with the Sand, Mist, and Rock, Konoha did not have its own interests!
Perhaps because the Mist Village was too far away to get anything, and the Sand Village allied with Konoha out of war considerations, it was tolerable.
But why didn't you want anything from the Rock Village?
To let them fight to the death with Cloud?
But could they really fight?
It turned out they did not fight, but the Third Hokage was forced to step down due to public pressure, and he appointed a new Fourth Hokage when he left.
Although the new Fourth Hokage was a puppet of the Third, he was a young, energetic person with ideas, and he had good relationships with the heads of the various clans.
This made the clan leaders feel that, even if this Hokage is unlucky now, he will surely make a difference in the future once he shakes off the control of the Third.
But the harsh reality is that the Fourth Hokage died, the Third Hokage took power again, and made a series of actions that were deeply loathed.
The situation has reached this point, and indeed there is not much choice left for everyone.
The impeachment of the Hokage, though unprecedented and truly shocking to everyone, once this idea emerged, it couldn't be controlled anymore.
"I second the motion."
Hyuga Hiashi didn't think for long before he raised his right hand and spoke softly.
"The Third is no longer a competent Hokage. If we continue like this, none of us will have good days.
First it was the Hyuga, then a series of actions against the Uchiha, these are not things a Hokage should do.
It's us now, it might be you in the future, so I support this."
"I also second the motion."
After a slight hesitation, Shibi Aburame also raised his right hand.
"The Hokage has always been ambiguous about the matter of 'Danzo,' and keeps emphasizing that it has nothing to do with him.
But I find it hard to believe that this would have nothing to do with the Hokage. Without his approval, many things Danzo did would not have been possible.
The Hokage has changed completely, he is no longer the low-key, pragmatic Hokage he used to be for Konoha.
So, I support this matter, Clan Head Kaito."
With the stance of Shibi Aburame, the head of the Inuzuka clan had little hesitation, and he quickly raised his hand to express his opinion.
And the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans were already supporters; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to pull so many people over here. It could be said that they've already expressed their positions.
And although everyone came here prepared, it's a historic moment when this matter is officially confirmed!
These clan heads have absolutely pioneered history!
Kaito looked at the six people in front of him, a smile spreading at the corner of his mouth. The hardest step in impeaching Hiruzen Sarutobi had been taken.
And this step is also the most critical, because it represents a breakthrough from zero to one.
However, impeaching Sarutobi is not a simple matter, there are still many, many things that need to be discussed.
Otherwise, without a comprehensive plan, it would be very difficult for them to impeach the Hokage...
...
"Clan Head Kaito, tell us your plan. Impeaching the Hokage is not a slogan, everyone supports you, and I think you should make everyone trust you."
After everything was settled, Nara Shikaku finally spoke.
For such an important matter, a complete plan is naturally needed, and this plan needs to cover a lot of things.
The first point is the reason for impeaching Sarutobi.
This is a very, very important matter. Kaito knew from his previous life that the most important thing when doing anything controversial or dangerous is to 'have a legitimate cause.'
Without a reasonable reason or even a combination of reasons, your actions could likely land you in a public opinion crisis.
No one wants to touch the vortex of public opinion. If you're not careful, it could kill you, and everyone present knew this.
After all, no one dared to forget the incidents involving the Uchiha and Namikaze Minato.
In addition to the reason, what's left is how to do it, and how to handle the aftermath.
All these are extremely complex, and all of these are processes that move from zero to one.
Kaito glanced at Nara Shikaku, knowing that this was a test from Shikaku, but also to see if Kaito was prepared at all.
Although Kaito had approached him months ago and revealed some of his thoughts, those ideas were not comprehensive at the time.
Nobody likes taking risks, and incomplete matters can't be formally put on the table, as they can endanger everyone.
Now it's Kaito's turn to show his worth. If he can't come up with a reasonable plan, I'm afraid the six people present will be disappointed in him.
And their previous support and assent might turn into mere talk.
Just as Nara Shikaku said, Kaito must make them feel trust. This is the responsibility he, as the initiator, must bear.
"I have a plan, and it requires everyone's support and assistance."
Kaito took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious. In fact, he had already thought all of this through thoroughly, and he had such a plan in mind.
"The Hokage has actually given us a reason to impeach him - he's disqualified.
Originally, as the Third Hokage, he had abdicated, and the Fourth Hokage had been elected, only to fall due to an accident that might have been 'premeditated.'
This is what led to the Third Hokage regaining control of Konoha. From a moral standpoint, there's nothing wrong with this, but from a legal standpoint, he's overstepped his bounds.
Therefore, Konoha should now be led by the 'Fifth Hokage.'"
Kaito's words were calm, but the content of his speech made the six clan heads nod while also furrowing their brows.
Kaito didn't mention Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions towards the ninja clans, especially the Uchiha, but focused entirely on the legal issues of the Hokage.
This is to avoid some sensitive issues, like this action being a revenge of the ninja clans on Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Even if others can see through it, they must maintain appearances.
Impeaching the Hokage on legal grounds is more 'politically correct' than impeaching him out of personal revenge.
Kaito had a firm grasp on this point, after all, the brazilians across the world were also quite adept at it.
However, the 'premeditated' accident Kaito mentioned made them a bit puzzled.
Could it be that there's more to the death of the Fourth Hokage?
Or is Kaito planning to exploit this incident, scheming something?
They looked at each other, but in the end, they didn't say a word and continued to listen to Kaito's explanation seriously.
"Having settled on the idea of the Fifth Hokage taking charge of Konoha, we should also make more preparations."
Kaito noticed the state and gaze of these clan heads, but he didn't mind, and continued to speak seriously.
"First, we need to prove, we need to determine a suitable Hokage candidate. I've mentioned this to Minister Shikaku before.
I personally support Jiraiya to be the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. If any of you have any other thoughts, we can discuss them later.
Once we've determined who we want as the Hokage, we need to prepare more evidence. And this evidence is to prove that the Third Hokage is disqualified."
As a Hokage, there are serious legal problems to start with, and during his administration, evidence of his mismanagement of Konoha must be found.
"In that case, I think Shimura Danzō is the most appropriate choice."
The six people present nodded. With the legal issues addressed, the next problem would be governance.
Simple legality is enough for impeachment, but heavier evidence is needed.
If it's only a legal issue, Sarutobi Hiruzen might stonewall with 'no suitable successor'.
Legal issues are but a better excuse for himself. Under this excuse hides the sharpest blade!
"However, Shimura Danzō has been killed by you, and much of the evidence has been buried by the Third Hokage."
Tsume Inuzuka sighed slightly as she spoke. Shimura Danzō was undoubtedly a perfect entry point, but it's difficult now that he's dead.
She doesn't blame Kaito for killing Danzō. Everyone present cheered when Kaito killed Danzō. If they weren't worried about drawing too much attention, they would have set off fireworks!
Danzō's ability to generate hatred was unparalleled and few could keep up.
He was like a runaway wild dog, ceaselessly sprinting on a one-way road, until someone seized the opportunity to kill him. Otherwise, he would never have turned back.
But it seems that Danzō, this wild dog, died too soon, and they initially didn't have the means or ability to seize Danzō's evidence from Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"There's a lot of evidence against Danzō, one could even say an enormous amount."
Kaito reached into his ninja tool bag and pulled out two scrolls. He threw one directly at Tsume Inuzuka.
Once Tsume Inuzuka caught it, she began to open the other scroll, speaking as she did so.
"I got a safeguard from Sarutobi Hiruzen. He gave this to me in exchange. I think this can constitute part of the chain of evidence."
Tsume Inuzuka frowned slightly, then directly opened the scroll in her hands to look at it.
Just a glance and her expression changed slightly because the scroll was actually a roster of the ROOT!
...
What a ROOT roster means, Tsume Inuzuka knew better than anyone. It recorded the real names and codenames of all the members of ROOT.
Even those children brought from the orphanage, relatively detailed records could be found here.
From this roster, one could fully understand the scale of ROOT and how many clan ninja members were taken!
Most clan ninja members were unwilling to go to a place like ROOT.
As clan heads, they would never agree to have talented successors of the clan enter such a dark and dirty place.
But Danzō's actions had completely challenged the dignity and bottom line of a clan, using almost ruthless and forceful methods to take people away.
The Ino-Shika-Chō trio have encountered this, and so have Inuzuka and Akimichi. It can be said that among the seven people present, except for the Uchiha and Hyūga clans, no one could avoid Danzō's vicious hands.
Danzō is dead, and some things have been buried, but this roster can prove what Danzō did back then!
Indeed, the existence of this roster is solid evidence, but it's only just good evidence.
After all, they're dealing with Sarutobi Hiruzen, not Danzō, who wouldn't have been able to do such things without Sarutobi's tacit consent.
But in reality, they still lack a lot of evidence, more direct evidence.
"This roster indeed carries a lot of weight."
After Tsume Inuzuka finished reading the roster, she passed it on for others to review. After Nara Shikaku finished reading, he sighed slightly.
"But it's still not enough, far from enough."
"I know, that's why I said it's just one link in the chain of evidence."
At this moment, a slight smile appeared on Kaito's tense face, and he formed a seal with one hand.
As the smoke appeared and quickly dispersed, a pale arm appeared in front of everyone.
"The chain of evidence needs multiple pieces of evidence to complete the loop. The roster is just a small part of it.
When I got it from Sarutobi Hiruzen, the goal was just to gain your support. I didn't expect Minister Shikaku to help me so much."
Kaito's words made Nara Shikaku smile, but now he realized that the young man in front of him was indeed cunning.
After Danzō attacked the Uchiha, this guy has been plotting to overthrow the Hokage!
"In fact, on the night of the attack on Danzō, I repeatedly emphasized that Danzō had our Uchiha's power.
He also had other strange powers. I wonder if you all remember?"
Kaito didn't know he was labeled cunning by Nara Shikaku, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care because he was indeed so.
Kaito's words made everyone nod. They could vaguely remember that Kaito had indeed said that.
But they didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and even took this operation as a dog-eat-dog situation.
After all, the whole of Konoha was unclear about what the Uchiha wanted.
But now with Kaito bringing up old matters, and the shriveled pale arm on the ground, there might be a lot worth investigating.
"This arm is..."
Yamanaka Inoichi sensed the special power contained within the arm, which made him frown involuntarily.
"After entering the Root base, I confronted Danzō once, and this arm was cut off by me at the time."
Kaito spoke calmly, and his next words changed the expressions of everyone present.
"I noticed something off about this arm when I first attacked, but due to my pursuit of Danzō, I didn't collect it immediately.
Therefore, I couldn't present it during the standoff with the Third Hokage. However, after negotiating with him, I specifically went back and took the arm.
Back in the clan, I had the medical ninjas examine it thoroughly, and do you know what information I received?
This arm contains a massive vitality, and an unimaginable power of Yang Release!
As families specializing in secret techniques, I believe you should be familiar with Yang Release, right? Possessing both potent vitality and the power of Yang Release...
Think carefully, who might have such capabilities?"
Kaito's words were more than hints; they were outright statements.
Who has such ability was now clear as day - Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, and one of the founders of Konoha!
That man Danzō, he was experimenting with the cells of the First Hokage! How could he do such a thing, and how dare he?
In an instant, all eyes were fixed on the severed arm, with Hyūga Hiashi even activating his Byakugan to gaze at it.
At this moment, they could indeed sense the extraordinary vitality and the Yang Release power far beyond their imaginations!
"This is real, this is the power of the First Hokage..."
Hyūga Hiashi murmured softly, but his expression quickly changed, as did those of the other five clan heads.
At this moment, fury ignited within them. The power of the Kekkei Genkai and secret techniques were vital to their clan heritage.
Wantonly researching the power of the clan's bloodline was a death-wishing act. No clan would forgive such a deed.
And to recklessly research the power of the First Hokage was the ultimate taboo. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzō Shimura, their deaths were well-deserved!
However, they soon felt a sense of helplessness. They remembered the words of Sarutobi Hiruzen a few months ago, where he admitted to discovering Danzō's research.
And it was then that Sarutobi cleanly absolved himself, the ones who approved of his actions were the very people present.
"Clan head Kaito, you should have brought this out sooner."
Nara Shikaku spoke bitterly, his face a mask of regret, though he quickly shook his head.
If Kaito had presented this evidence back then, would they have supported him against Sarutobi? Did they even have the right or power to oppose Sarutobi at the time?
Clearly, they didn't. They truly lacked that ability.
"Whether sooner or later doesn't really matter. What's important is that this happened."
Kaito saw the helplessness in Nara Shikaku's words and couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
"Moreover, this is just one piece of the evidence, we still lack an even more crucial piece of evidence, as long as we can obtain that, there will be no issues!"
...
Right now, Kaito is quite satisfied with the reactions of these clan leaders, because he knows that all he's done, all the preparations he's made, are about to pay off.
Kaito never denies that he's a vengeful person, and the characteristic of such people is clear: once they bear a grudge, they must seek retribution.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is a Hokage who cares for Konoha, Kaito acknowledges this point.
But Kaito doesn't approve of his self-righteous attitude, and even less so his treatment of Konoha as his private property!
Therefore, Kaito's revenge is inevitable, and the other ninja clans' revenge is also a result of his own actions!
Kaito's existence merely kindled this fire ahead of time, making what was originally a passive situation become proactive.
Seeing the puzzled looks of the six people present, Kaito chuckled lightly and then spoke: "Do you all still remember the child left behind after Namikaze Minato's death?"
"Kakashi?" Akimichi Chouza asked with a puzzled expression upon hearing Kaito's words, "Isn't that kid in the Anbu now, what's happened with him?"
"Kakashi is a person Sarutobi Hiruzen trusts, but don't forget that Kakashi's eyes hold a Sharingan."
Kaito spoke calmly, and a sly smile unconsciously crept onto his face.
"This eye is a symbol and legacy of Kakashi's bond with Uchiha Obito. And I suspect Kakashi may not trust our Third Hokage as much as you all think."
"You've tried to win him over?" Nara Shikaku reacted quickly, he thought of something, "Could it be that those pieces of intelligence came from Kakashi?"
"I don't know, but I did indeed attempt to persuade him."
Kaito shook his head, he wasn't sure about this yet, because he hasn't seen Kakashi recently.
"Once, when Naruto came to the Uchiha's, he was being monitored by Kakashi, so I tried to sway him.
I used his father's affairs and Naruto's situation as a starting point, pulled him into a Genjutsu and tried to convince him.
I could see he was indeed moved, but he was very restrained and calm, giving me no direct answer.
However, I believe, if I push a bit further, I would get some results, because this time I met an interesting fellow outside, that is, Orochimaru.
He told me that Kakashi knows about the Wood Style experiments happening secretly in Konoha!"
Kaito's words once again made the faces of the six people present change. How could they not know who Orochimaru is? But how did Kaito encounter Orochimaru?
Nara Shikaku quickly understood, he knew what Kaito wanted to do, but he didn't expect that Kaito had left on his own.
Meeting Orochimaru and returning unscathed, does this mean that Kaitoa's strength has reached the level of the Three Sannin?
This isn't something that can be lied about, because if it's wrong, everyone will die!
As for why Orochimaru would disclose information, after thinking about it, Nara Shikaku realized there indeed might be a possibility, given the many secrets involved in Orochimaru's defection.
After all, Orochimaru left Konoha due to his human experiments, and no one knows what those experiments were.
So, could he have been a key participant in the experiments on the First Hokage's cells?
"Do you understand what you're saying?" Hyūga Hiashi's expression had turned quite grim. He stared at Kaito and asked in a deep voice, "Clan head Kaito, this isn't something to joke about!"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Kaito turned to look at Hyūga Hiashi and said quite seriously.
He, for one, hadn't lied. After all, these experiments were real, and the existence of Danzō, or Yamato, was also real.
Though he let Orochimaru carry the blame without a fuss, no one could possibly confront Orochimaru to find out the truth.
"After I defeated Orochimaru, I asked him about the experiments from those days, and he seemed quite interested in the question.
He told me that one of his surviving test subjects ended up in the Root, and this test subject had quite a few interactions with Kakashi.
As long as we can get Kakashi to talk, or even better, get him to willingly join our side, then all the pieces of our evidence will fall into place!"
A test subject who had interactions with Kakashi?
Upon hearing this information, everyone present couldn't help but ponder. If Orochimaru wasn't lying—no, there was really no need for Orochimaru to lie!
If all this was true, they only need to pry open Kakashi's mouth, and then they would leave Sarutobi Hiruzen without any chance of turning things around.
But, how should they do this?
"As for how to do it, I do have a few ideas."
Before the six of them could open their mouths, Kaito once again spoke with a smile.
"The former head of the Uchiha clan, now a clan elder, Fugaku, once told me that he had suspicions about the Fourth Hokage's death.
He went into Naruto's home that night, seeing what kind of life the Fourth Hokage's son was leading.
It made him wonder if it was all a deliberate setup by Sarutobi Hiruzen, because only then would Naruto, as the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, become close to the Third Hokage.
Moreover, Danzō has connections with the mysterious Uchiha who released the Nine-Tails nine years ago, and that mysterious Uchiha knew all the information and plans about Kushina Uzumaki's childbirth.
Could we interpret all this as information deliberately leaked by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen?
If that's the case, could we go a step further and theorize that the death of the Fourth Hokage was actually a ploy set up by the Third Hokage to regain control of the Hokage position?
Although the Third Hokage lost his wife in this event, under the corruption of power, a person could do anything!"
Kaito's words sent a chill up the spines of the six people present, a cold and piercing feeling that made them almost unable to breathe in that moment.
After they pondered seriously, they realized that all of this seemed to indeed line up!
If all this was true, then the seriousness of the situation would surely escalate yet another level.
"You see..."
At this moment, Kaito spoke again.
"I will share this matter with Kakashi, telling him my suspicions, regardless of whether it's true or not.
So, as a student of the Fourth Hokage, what decision will Kakashi make?"
As Kaito finished speaking, the six people present felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Only at this moment did they realize that the ruthlessness of Uchiha Kaito was directly proportional to his intelligence...
