Capítulo 101: Chapter 101 : Kakuzu!!
"Sandaime-sama, if there is nothing else."
"It's okay, you can leave whenever you want."
"Okay, I'll take my leave now."
As Kakashi watched Asuma still chatting with Kurenai Yuhi, he sighed helplessly, turned around, and left the office.
After Kakashi left, Asuma stood up with a somersault and looked at the Third Hokage, smiling. "How about it, old man? My acting wasn't bad, was it?"
The Third Hokage replied with a disdainful look, "If Kakashi hadn't been spaced out because of what happened to Obito, do you really think you could fool him with your terrible acting skills?"
"I can't help it. It's my first time acting, so it's normal to have some flaws."
After responding to the Third Hokage, Asuma looked at Kurenai Yuhi and asked, "By the way, Kurenai, how did you know that the old man and I were acting and then decide to join in?"
Kurenai gave Asuma a look and replied, "Just like what the Third Hokage said, Kakashi is spaced out and can't see it, but I'm not."
"Yeah, even you could see that the old man and I were acting, but Kakashi couldn't. You can imagine how much the incident with Obito must have affected him."
Walking to the window and looking at Kakashi's slightly lonely figure, Asuma couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I hope our jokes can make him feel better."
It turned out that the nonsense they just acted out was a performance by the Third Hokage and Asuma, meant to lift Kakashi's spirits.
Kakashi's past was indeed tragic.
As a child, his father committed suicide due to pressure from the village.
During that time, his life was dark.
He finally found himself again in Minato's team, but soon after, his teammate Obito "died" in front of him.
Carrying Obito's Sharingan, Kakashi held on as best as he could.
Not long after, another teammate, Nohara Rin, was captured by the Kirigakure Ninja and became the Jinchūriki who sealed the Three-Tails.
Nohara Rin didn't want the Three-Tails to run rampant in Konoha, so at her pleading, Kakashi reluctantly killed her with Chidori.
This wasn't the end. The Minato couple, who had always been kind to him, also died during the Nine-Tails Rebellion caused by a mysterious man a few years later.
In just a few years, his father died, his friend died, and his teacher died.
At the same time, his heart died too.
The Third Hokage spent a lot of time and energy to finally help Kakashi move on, making him stop obsessing over past regrets and face the future bravely.
These good days didn't last long before he learned that the Nine-Tails Rebellion, which led to the tragic deaths of Minato and his wife, was caused by his friend Uchiha Obito.
His mental state shattered instantly.
Fortunately, the Third Hokage noticed this and made a subtle agreement with Asuma, hoping to clear some of the darkness surrounding Kakashi's mind.
Whether it worked or not, at least they tried.
Now, it was up to Kakashi himself.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was time for the monthly character review video again.
While watching the extra video from half a month ago, the Third Hokage and Fifth Hokage Jiraiya had been secretly observing Kakashi.
They found that Kakashi didn't seem affected by what happened with Obito; in fact, it looked like he had already moved on from that sad time.
Anyway, the Third Hokage and Jiraiya didn't notice anything wrong with Kakashi.
Watching the extra video also helped Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai Yuhi better understand the light curtain.
At the same time, they learned that, from the perspective of the person speaking on the light curtain, they were 2-D characters in a work called "Naruto," and the character videos they reviewed were narrated based on the experiences of this work.
Honestly, when Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai Yuhi found out they were 2-D characters, they were very shocked.
Especially Kakashi.
If this was true, then the series of tragic events that happened to him were just the author's designs in his own work.
Clearly, Kakashi couldn't accept such a concept.
If the situation allowed it, he would really want to ask the author in person why his character was designed to be so miserable.
Fortunately, he was now a very mature jonin. With the explanations from the Third Hokage and others, he adjusted his mindset and returned to normal in no time.
He was quite looking forward to today's character review video.
He hoped the light curtain would reveal more about Obito.
This way, he would be sure to "persuade" Obito to return to the village.
[Hi, hi, hello everyone, I am the new Content Creator Hayashi Sora.]
[In this issue, we continue to review the supporting characters in "Naruto."]
[Speaking of the ninjas from the later parts of Naruto, each of them is powerful enough to change the world.]
[These powerful figures seem out of place when compared to the more practical ninjas desiring money and authority.]
[In other words, if you are seeking strength, why would you still care about material possessions?]
[But in the earlier parts of the story, there was a ninja who had a strong connection to money.]
[He is Kakuzu.]
"Kakuzu? Isn't he a member of Akatsuki? Are we not going to focus on our Konoha ninjas today?"
In the Hokage's office, the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, watched Kakuzu, dressed in a black robe adorned with red clouds, on the screen and appeared to be deep in thought.
"Hehe, in the previous videos, the characters featured were all connected to Konoha. This time, they are highlighting those from other villages. Perhaps that's beneficial for us."
Orochimaru, with an excited expression, licked his tongue while observing Kakuzu. As a former member of Akatsuki, he was curious about everyone in the organization.
Among them, besides Pain with his Rinnegan, the most intriguing were the two members of the immortal duo.
Orochimaru was eager to dissect and study these two to understand their incredible immortality. After all, his dream was to achieve eternal life, which led him to create the forbidden technique known as Living Corpse Reincarnation to take over other bodies.
"Orochimaru is right. While we can gather some insights about the enemy by watching videos of the village's characters, it's not as effective as directly watching reviews of our enemies."
Thanks to White Zetsu's revelations, they confirmed that in addition to the other four major ninja villages, Konoha's enemies also included the Akatsuki organization from the Hidden Rain Village.
What kind of organization could persuade Uchiha Obito, the successor of Uchiha Madara, to join?
Not to mention, everyone in this organization is an S-rank rebel. No one believes they are a legitimate group advocating for peace.
Nagato: "The purpose of our organization is truly for peace in the ninja world."
Third Hokage and others: "Shut up, we don't believe you."
Nagato: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
