"Kakashi, what are you still standing there for? Lord Second Hokage asked you to find Rin's clothes, so just go!"
Seeing that Kakashi wasn't moving to find Rin's clothes and was instead staring at Lord Second Hokage with an increasingly strange expression, Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, quickly poked Kakashi in the side to remind him to hurry up.
"Uh, yes, Lord Fifth Hokage. I have a few of Rin's clothes at home; I'll go get them right away."
Kakashi didn't realize that as he left the scene, the others, including Tobirama, were also looking at him with strange expressions.
"Wow, Kakashi. I only knew he was a bit reserved, but I didn't expect him to be a hidden 'gentleman' too."
Scratching his chin, Jiraiya shook his head while speaking.
"It's been so many years since Rin died, yet he still keeps her clothes. I don't know if I should call him sentimental or just creepy."
"Tsk tsk, Rin was only thirteen when she died. Kakashi shouldn't be that weird, right?"
"Yeah, maybe."
Everyone laughed lightly; this was just a small incident.
They all understood that Kakashi kept a few of Rin's clothes mostly for nostalgic reasons.
It was just strange that Rin's clothes were at Kakashi's house. Even Tobirama, who asked Kakashi about the clothes, couldn't help but facepalm.
His original intention was to ask Kakashi to help find some clothes that Rin could wear. He didn't know how he accidentally blurted out whether Kakashi had Rin's clothes.
What a mess.
"Hey, Sarutobi! What are you staring at? Don't you recognize me anymore?"
As Kakashi left, Tobirama's disciples followed him out.
Each time they traveled, they only had an hour, and they wanted to make the most of it. Whether it was shopping or exploring the current Konoha, time was tight.
Once these people left, the office felt much more relaxed. It was then that the Third Hokage noticed a new face among the people Tobirama brought. Hmm, a particularly familiar new face.
"Uh, is that Lady Mito?"
After looking for a while, the Third Hokage was confused by Uzumaki Mito's appearance and finally hesitantly asked, "Is that you?"
It had been so long since he had seen Mito, and since he wasn't very familiar with her, he couldn't remember her right away.
But it didn't matter. Anyone who came with Tobirama-sensei was definitely someone he knew.
After thinking for a moment, he could confirm Mito's identity.
"It's me," Mito said.
Hearing Mito confirm it, the Third Hokage's mind suddenly went blank for a moment. He opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong, old man?"
The Third Hokage wasn't very familiar with Uzumaki Mito, but he had seen her a few times when he visited the Senju clan.
As for Jiraiya, he really didn't know her well at all.
He had only seen Mito a few times while escorting Tsunade home during his youth.
If Tsunade hadn't introduced them, he would have thought Mito was her sister, not her grandmother.
"It's nothing. I was just a little excited to see Lady Mito," the Third Hokage said with a sigh when he noticed Jiraiya didn't understand. "Lady Mito is the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. Do you understand now?"
At these words, Jiraiya widened his eyes, glancing between the Second Hokage and Uzumaki Mito.
"Don't worry; I understand your concerns. Since I dared to come, I'm confident I can keep the Nine-Tails from causing trouble."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lady Mito."
One Nine-Tail was already enough of a headache for the Third Hokage. Now, with two, if anything went wrong, Konoha really couldn't handle it.
"Alright, you all chat slowly. I'll go find Naruto," Mito said.
"Go ahead," the Third Hokage replied.
After Mito left, Orochimaru eagerly asked, "Did the Second Hokage ask Kakashi for Rin's clothing because the clone has succeeded?"
"Yes."
"Then…"
"Don't rush."
Looking at Orochimaru, whose eyes gleamed with excitement, Tobirama raised his hand, signaling to wait until Kakashi returned to continue their discussion.
Outside the Hokage Building, Obito and Black Zetsu hid in the shadows.
They had arrived in Konoha the previous night, and before dawn today, they were already lurking around the Hokage Building, observing secretly.
If it were three months ago, they would have been able to see Tobirama Senju cross over immediately.
Unfortunately, with the increasing number of review videos, the light screen's crossing function now had pinpoint crossing capabilities.
This meant that every time Tobirama and the others crossed over, they no longer scattered randomly in Konoha; they could specify a certain location in the village to cross over.
The location Tobirama specified was the Hokage's office.
So, Obito and Black Zetsu only saw the Third Hokage, the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, Kakashi, and others entering the Hokage Building, but did not see Tobirama and the others.
"Black Zetsu, are you sure you didn't see things wrong last time?"
People were coming and going outside the Hokage Building, not just ninjas coming to take on missions, but also merchants wanting to leave the village, who needed to handle related procedures at the Hokage Building.
Keeping watch for a long time was also very exhausting.
Gradually, Obito began to feel impatient.
"I swear on Madara's life, I really didn't see things wrong."
"Madara Uchiha is dead; what good is swearing on his life?"
"If I really did see things wrong, then let Madara die completely without revival, and fall into the eighteen layers of hell, go into a frying pan, fall into the sea of fire, and climb the mountain of knives, never to be reborn again."
Uchiha Madara: ???
"Alright, alright, Madara is truly fortunate to have your kind of will."
Obito looked at Black Zetsu with a cold smile.
Although he didn't have a good opinion of Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu was still Madara's will.
This was the first time he had heard of his own will cursing himself.
What a rare sight to see.
"Obito. Huh, Kakashi seems to be in a hurry. Where is he going?"
Seeing that Obito looked a bit disdainful, Black Zetsu wanted to explain, but when it saw Kakashi coming out of the Hokage building, it quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah, it's rare to see him in such a rush."
As Kakashi was about to disappear from view, Obito immediately said to Zetsu, "You stay here and keep watching. I'll go see what's up."
"Wait, Obito! I called you over to prove that the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, is really in Konoha! If you leave and Tobirama shows up, how am I supposed to find you?"
"Do whatever you want. If you really want to prove yourself to me, then when Senju Tobirama appears, you can hold him off. Eventually, I'll come back."
With that, Obito ignored the stunned Black Zetsu and quickly followed after Kakashi.
"Obito, are you even speaking human language? I swear, if I don't get to vent my frustration soon, I'm going to lose it!"
