Kakashi stood in front of the door of the conference room with extreme anxiety.

He was told who he would meet before he came, and he also understood why he was called here.

If he were allowed to lie in front of successive Hokages, he would undoubtedly be trampling on his long-held beliefs.

But Orochimaru's threatening words that day still rang in his ears.

The door slowly opened, and Tsunade greeted him inside. Kakashi saw the four people sitting on top, and his spirit instantly became tense.

He stepped into this quiet room, and everyone's eyes were focused on this young man.

"Hatake Kakashi, right?"

"I have met all of you, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi bowed his head and saluted the four people.

Just before Kakashi arrived, the Anbu who were sent to investigate the situation in the prison returned and found nothing as Orochimaru said.

None of the ninjas on duty were spared, and all the prisoners in the prison were also missing. The latter situation had obviously been handled by someone.

After Tobirama examined it, he asked Orochimaru: "Yondaime, what can this witness prove?"

But Orochimaru's eyes were directly looking back and forth between the Sandaime and Minato: "Sarutobi-sensei, Minato, and Nara Shikaku have come to you more than once. What are you discussing?"

"..."

Faced with Orochimaru's question, the Sandaime and Minato fell silent at the same time.

Minato was not good at lying, and he almost never deliberately deceived others about his status.

The Third Hokage, after being silent, chose to deny it.

"Shikaku often comes to visit me. What do you mean by discussing things?"

Orochimaru chuckled and continued: "Kakashi, do you know?"

When Kakashi heard him calling his name, he couldn't help but stiffen and looked at Minato subconsciously. However, Minato had no time to pay attention to him at this time and kept his head down in silence.

He has never been so scared as he is today, not because he is facing some invincible enemy, but because his words and deeds are related to the lives and deaths of too many people.

"Kakashi." Hashirama said in a kind tone.

"Don't be afraid, just tell me everything you know."

"..."

At this time, Yamanaka Haiichi wanted to use telepathy to connect to Kakashi's mind, but suddenly he realized that there seemed to be an extra layer of barrier on Kakashi's body, completely isolating his chakra.

Kakashi was silent for a long time and finally spoke: "Mr. Shikaku... once approached me and asked me to monitor Shin-sama and the Fourth Hokage."

As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of many people present instantly changed.

"Mr. Shikaku told me that the current Yondaime Hokage is not worthy of being Hokage. He wanted me to investigate and collect some misdeeds of the Yondaime-sama for future use in case of trouble."

"Mr. Shikaku also said that if you want to bring down the Yondaime, you can only find a suitable opportunity for Minato-sensei to kill him personally, and then make the tainted evidence public, so that Minato-sensei can successfully succeed as Hokage..."

"

The conference room became dead silent.

Deliberately rebelling and murdering Hokage is already an unforgivable crime.

Kakashi's words directly defined the matter.

Minato didn't seem to expect that Kakashi would say such words, and looked at his student in a daze.

Jiraiya, the Sandaime, Yamanaka Haiichi and others all looked a little ugly.

After Kakashi finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone.

The changes in the expressions of these people were naturally seen in the eyes of Hashirama and Tobirama.

Master and disciple turned against each other...

"If you are so resistant to him, why did you let Orochimaru become Hokage in the first place?" Tsunade suddenly couldn't help but said.

She was questioning the Sandaime.

What these people had done once again refreshed her understanding. Are they all determined to kill Orochimaru?

"Minato, is Kakashi right?" Orochimaru asked Minato.

"..."

"Nara Shikaku's sin is unforgivable, and it is a gift to him to die in my hands."

Minato clenched his fists silently.

He couldn't respond to Kakashi's words at all. These were actually Shikaku's thoughts. When Shikaku told him these things, he did not agree at the time, but he also refused not thoroughly enough.

Thinking about it now, if his attitude was not so ambiguous at the beginning, maybe Shikaku could have planned everything with him earlier, and maybe Shikaku would not have died.

It was the same on the battlefield. If he had listened to Shikaku and rushed back to the village when Orochimaru succeeded to the throne, he might have had a different ending based on his reputation.

If he had been firmer when facing Kushina, maybe Kushina wouldn't have to suffer those hardships...

Of course, he could also deny Kakashi's words and put all the stigma on Shikaku. Judging from the current situation, it might be a wise choice.

If he loses here, everyone around him may end up dead!

Tobirama asked: "Minato, do you want to kill the Yondaime?"

"Minato." Haiyi's voice sounded in his mind again.

"..."

"As long as you deny it, let's go on..."

Unexpectedly, Minato suddenly suppressed his voice and said: "Can't I kill him?"

This voice was full of hatred and murderous intent, and it was not like the words Minato could say at all.

Everyone present was shocked, and Kakashi couldn't help but raise his head and look at his teacher.

Tobirama frowned and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Minato asked Tobirama in turn: "Is the Hokage necessarily right?"

Tobirama's face darkened, and he was about to say something, but was suddenly stopped by Hashirama standing beside him.

Minato stood up from his seat, and walked slowly to Kakashi. Facing his teacher, Kakashi was filled with guilt and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Minato put his hand on his shoulder and said with his last tenderness: "Kakashi, you didn't choose to believe me. I can understand. You are not the only one who is disappointed in me."

Kakashi's body was shaking constantly.

Tobirama's eyes were fixed on Minato: "Intention to murder the Hokage is already a crime of death!"

However, Minato said the words with an indifferent expression that made the Sandaime and others change their expressions in shock.

"Orochimaru is no longer Hokage in my heart. As long as I am still alive, I will definitely kill him!"

"If you, Nidaime-sama, stop me just because of Orochimaru's status as the Fourth Hokage, then in my heart, you are also incompetent as a Hokage."

Tobirama was extremely shocked and furious, and stood up suddenly with his arms slapped: "Boy, do you really think I can't kill you?!"

The majestic amount of chakra surged out of him in an instant and swept straight towards Minato!

boom!

The chakra whipped up a strong whirlwind, making Minato's clothes ruffled and his hair flying wildly.

But in the face of such intimidation, Minato stood still and stared at him with a stern expression.

When Jiraiya saw this, he immediately stood up and came to Minato with raised eyebrows. Haiyi also wanted to step forward to express his position. His life and death had long been tied to Minato, but under the power of the Second Hokage,

He couldn't move freely under the pressure.

"Tobirama."

Hashirama suddenly slapped Tobirama's arm with his hand, his voice calm.

Tobirama was stunned for a moment, and the aura as heavy as the mountain retreated instantly, and the rest room returned to calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

Just listen to Hashirama saying slowly: "Of course the Hokage is not always right. Between the Sandaime and the Yondaime present now, isn't one of them necessarily wrong?"

"The Hokage's fault is not his own fault, but concerns the whole village. Have you ever thought about how to bear it and how to make up for it when you did something wrong?"

"Sandaime." Hashirama suddenly named him.

When Sarutobi heard the sound, his nerves became tense.

"I want to ask you, do you agree with Minato's words?"

"I..." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly got stuck at this moment. He had clearly scolded Orochimaru on the spot just now.

To put Hashirama's question in another way, it is: Do you want to kill Orochimaru?

Tobirama also asked in a deep voice at this time: "Monkey, are you involved in Nara Shikaku's plan?"

"..."

Sarutobi was still silent, Orochimaru was sitting next to him, with Minato and Jiraiya in front of him.
