"The Nanao is a tailed beast assigned to Takigakure by the first Hokage Senju Hashirama during the first Five Kage Tournament. This is an internationally recognized fact. If Lin returns to Konoha, in order to avoid diplomatic conflicts with Takigakure,

, and also to prevent other ninja villages from verbally criticizing Konoha. What do you think will happen to Lin?"

Shiraishi reminded Obito word by word.

"What will happen?"

Obito swallowed in fear.

"Rin will be taken over by the Takigakure Village, and then the Seven-Tails will be taken away. The jinchuriki will only die if the tailed beast is taken away."

"It won't be that serious, right?"

Obito's heart tightened.

Obito had heard a little bit about the tailed beast and knew that it was a very powerful weapon, but he didn't know much about the rest.

Obito also doesn't know whether the tailed beast will die if the jinchūriki is taken away.

But he didn't dare to risk Lin's life by trying something uncertain and dangerous. This was absolutely true.

"You can take Lin back and try. I can guarantee that Lin will die. By then, even if I have the ability to revive a person with only one breath left, I will never be able to bring the dead back to life."

Obito stopped talking, he didn't dare to gamble.

Once the bet was lost, Konoha handed Lin over to Takigakure for its own safety, pulled out the Nanao from the body and died. Obito felt that he would never forgive himself in his life.

It is precisely because we have experienced the pain of loss that we understand the preciousness of what is lost and found.

The moment Lin died, the whole world seemed to have collapsed. She felt that there was no place for her in this world and life was no longer fun.

At that time, Obito understood one thing, that is, to him, the Hokage's dream and protecting the village were not as important as Lin's finger.

"So what should I do now?"

Obito's thoughts were very confused.

"Stay here with peace of mind. You were plotted by others and let Lin be kidnapped. In the final analysis, you are too weak. If you want to protect Lin, you must make good use of the new Sharingan that was opened because of Lin."

"Can I protect Lin by using this Mangekyō Sharingan?"

A bright light flashed in Obito's eyes.

"Of course, after all, this is the supreme pupil technique of the Uchiha clan, and it is fundamentally different from the ordinary Magatama Sharingan. I will personally teach you how to use this power."

"Eh?"

Something is wrong with this situation.

When he heard that Shiraishi wanted to teach him how to use the Sharingan, Obito's face immediately became suspicious.

"Aren't you a medical ninja? How can you teach me how to use the Sharingan?"

"I also know a little bit about the Sharingan. It's more than enough to teach a rookie Uchiha like you how to use the Sharingan."

"I always feel suspicious. You just said that when Lin returns to Konoha, she will be handed over to Takigakure by the village. Are you lying to me?"

Obito is suspicious.

"Even if I really lie to you, if Lin falls in love with Konoha and recalls the past, will it really be happy for her?"

Shiraishi smiled and asked Obito in return.

Obito stared at Shiraishi carefully, and felt that the word "insidious" was written big on Shiraishi's face.

"I understand. Please tell me the cause and effect of the matter later. I need to calm down and think about some things now."

Obito felt a little unhappy and went down the stairs.

Shiraishi didn't try to keep Obito, he had already said what needed to be said, and the rest could be left to him to calm down on his own.

Putting his hands in the pockets of his white coat, the wind from the rooftop blew Shiraishi's hair.

Immediately afterwards, Baishi looked to the side, and a figure appeared there. He had a cold and beautiful face, and his long black hair was fluttering in the wind. It was Liuli.

"Ever since Uchiha Madara brothers, no third person has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan in the decades. I didn't expect that a twelve-year-old child would directly transition from the second Magatama Sharingan to the Mangekyō stage. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

See, it’s really unbelievable.”

Liuli let out a long breath, the look in her eyes was very complicated.

She is confident that her Sanmagatama Sharingan has a powerful pupil power that is not inferior to the Mangekyo Sharingan. However, in terms of Sharingan level, being surpassed by a twelve-year-old junior is not a good thing for her, who has always been favored.

For the Uchiha ninja who is known as a genius, this is really hard to accept.

"It can only be said that he has a special ability to open his eyes, otherwise Madara wouldn't be staring at him all the time."

Shiraishi answered this way.

As for saying that Obito is the third member of the Uchiha clan to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan in the visible history, this statement may not be correct.

Shiraishi knew that in his hand, there was a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan whose owner was unknown.

Strictly speaking, Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan is the fourth pair.

Of course, this is not entirely accurate, because the Uchiha clan has a long history, and their ancestors can be traced back to a thousand years ago. During this thousand years of history, there may have been Uchiha people who have opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

It's just that it's not clearly recorded in Uchiha's historical documents.

"Am I getting a little old?"

Liuli suddenly asked, staring straight at Baishi.

Shiraishi coughed and responded with a smile: "How come, Ruri, you are only twenty-two years old this year, and you are still very young and beautiful. Obito is only a very rare exception among the Uchiha clan, and cannot be a representative of the universality. Moreover,

Opening these eyes too early may not be a good thing."

Opening the Mangekyō Sharingan at the age of twelve is indeed an incredible thing.

When Ruri was twelve years old and had just graduated from ninja school, her Sharingan had only awakened to the second magatama stage.

"It is indeed not a good thing to open the Mangekyō Sharingan too early. If that little girl named Lin hadn't been alive, it would be hard to predict what terrible things he would do. When you teach him, be careful."

Liuli's face turned serious.

Now Obito's mood is stable, it's all because Lin is not dead, and he has gradually suppressed the negative emotions of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Liuli saw this very clearly.

"Don't worry about this, I won't let him mess around. I plan to accept Lin as a disciple. Only in this way can I use him with confidence."

It seemed a bit despicable to do this, but Shiraishi thought it was necessary to put a chain around Obito's neck.

Before the darkness in Obito's heart is eliminated, this chain will be the best tool to suppress the darkness in his heart and prevent him from going berserk.

The best person to control Obito's chains is undoubtedly Lin, who is qualified for such a job.

Only Lin can complete the task of guiding Obito, letting Obito know that it is a trap, which is restricting his freedom, and making him happy and willing to be restrained.

"By the way, has that little girl really lost her memory?"

Before leaving, Liuli asked this question out of curiosity.

Baishi stood there silently for a long time before slowly speaking: "Liu Li, everyone has a memory that makes them unbearable to look back on. Being able to survive in that situation requires a lot of courage. Is she...

Pretending to have amnesia, or really having amnesia, is no longer important."

Because even the person involved, Obito, chose to forgive Lin's selfishness at that time. As an outsider, he was not qualified to interfere in this matter.

The best solution is to leave the rest of the matter to the two parties involved to communicate and understand each other. Others will only make things more confusing.

Konoha chunin Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin are listed in the missing persons file.

After Kakashi returned to Konoha to report his story, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen made a final conclusion on the matter.

At the same time, Hiruzen, as the Hokage, also punished Kakashi for leaving the camp without permission. Within the next two years, all rewards for the missions performed by Kakashi were confiscated.

Kakashi didn't pay much attention to these, and then placed a transparent bag on Hiruzen's desk.

"Hokage-sama, this is the sawdust I found in Takino Country when I was looking for Obito. I thought it was different from ordinary tree sawdust, so I brought it back. Maybe it is related to Obito's disappearance."

Kakashi's eyes were very calm. After all, what he said was not a lie, but some specious guesses.

Hiruzen took the transparent bag presented by Kakashi, opened it, took out some sawdust inside, looked at it carefully, and his eyes immediately widened in surprise, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Kakashi...you mean you found these sawdust while tracking Obito Uchiha?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama. Is there any problem?"

Kakashi replied softly.

"No, there's nothing. Maybe I saw it wrong."

Hiruzen spoke very relaxedly, but his heart became extremely solemn.

Because these sawdust were so familiar to him, although there were some differences, there was no doubt that they were the remains of the Wood Release Ninjutsu.

In Konoha's research laboratory, there are also preserved wood chip specimens made by the first Hokage Senju Hashirama using Mudun. These wood chips are made of exactly the same material as the wood chip specimens made by Mudun in the laboratory.

The first person Hiruzen thought of was Danzo.

He was wondering if Danzo was behind the scenes when Nohara Rin and Uchiha Obito disappeared one after another.
