Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Shimura Danzo Isn't That Big of a Deal Either
Kakashi's trembling body finally calmed down, and both he and Rin let out a sigh of relief.
Compared to the famous Third Hokage, they didn't know much about Shimura Danzo.
Kakashi continued hoarsely, "Who is Shimura Danzo?"
Rin also clenched her small fist and said angrily, "This Shimura Danzo must be a big bad guy. I want to teach him a lesson."
Obito coughed twice and said, "Him? He's not that big of a deal. He's just a disciple of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and has a life-and-death friendship with the Third Hokage. He currently serves as the Hokage's advisor and controls the Root, the shadow within the shadows. Although he can be considered the second-in-command of Konoha now, in the end, he's just a rat in the gutter, not worth mentioning."
""What!"", Both Rin and Kakashi were shocked.
Whether it was being a disciple of the Second Hokage or the Hokage's advisor, these were super, super, huge, huge identities.
Kakashi couldn't help but roll his eyes, "This is called... not that big of a deal?"
Obito mimicked Kakashi's posture, hands in his pockets, and let out an "Ah."
Who couldn't act cool?
In his eyes, Danzo really wasn't that big of a deal. If we're talking about strength, he's actually quite good, his wind-style ninjutsu is fierce, probably even surpassing the Kazekage.
But that's just "quite good". At this point in time, the Uchiha clan hasn't been wiped out yet, Uchiha Shisui hasn't died, and Orochimaru hasn't defected. He probably doesn't have a collection of Sharingan and Hashirama cells yet, and can't even use Izanagi.
Killing him... should be quite simple.
Especially since he's seen Danzo's fight with Sasuke, using kunai to stab Susanoo, and finally sealing a bridge. Thinking about it now, he feels an urge to laugh...
Seeing Obito acting cool and even a bit amused, Kakashi felt a bit more at ease and continued to ask hoarsely, "Why... did he do that?"
Obito said, "Danzo has always coveted the position of Hokage. The White Fang's reputation was too high, making him the best candidate for the Fourth Hokage. If Danzo didn't tarnish the White Fang's reputation, the White Fang would most likely have become the Fourth Hokage."
There was one thing Obito didn't say: the White Fang becoming the Fourth Hokage didn't align with Sarutobi Hituzen's interests. At this time, Hiruzen probably hoped his disciple Orochimaru would take the position, so he didn't stop Danzo's behind-the-scenes manipulations.
'But... it's better not to tell Kakashi about this. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss; the more you know, the heavier the burden.'
Kakashi didn't expect to hear such an answer in the end. He clenched his fists and said resentfully, "So, he killed my father just to become Hokage..."
Obito shook his head, "Actually, he probably didn't expect your father to commit suicide. This guy likes to brainwash himself, thinking his ambitions are for the sake of Konoha. The White Fang was one of Konoha's top fighters; how could he bear to kill him? He just wanted to suppress your father's prestige so he couldn't become Hokage."
Then, Obito sighed, "However, a rat like Danzo, living in the gutter, how could he understand the noble qualities of those who live in the sunlight? The White Fang died from the collapse of his own beliefs, just like your current state."
The two of them suddenly understood something, feeling a sense of empathy.
"Damn it!", Kakashi punched the wall, revealing a look of hatred.
"I must kill Danzo, not just for my father, but also for Konoha. Konoha shouldn't have someone like him."
Obito shook his head, "Kakashi, you're blinded by hatred. When Danzo wants to kill someone, he shouts the same slogans as you. You should calm down."
Everyone who hears his detailed account of Konoha always decides to seek revenge on Konoha for various reasons.
In his previous life, Sasuke wanted revenge, and he was happy to see it, even willing to give a push.
But Kakashi and Sasuke hold different places in his heart. Plus, in this life, he wants to be a good person and doesn't want his close friend Kakashi to become like Sasuke.
So, he comforted, "Don't worry, Danzo will die eventually. You don't need to avenge this. Compared to you, the Uchiha are the ones who should seek revenge."
Kakashi was stunned, seemingly misunderstanding something, "Obito, do you also have a grudge against Danzo? If it's you... I can let you take revenge."
Rin also looked at Obito and couldn't help but ask, "Obito, is what you went through related to this Danzo?"
Rin grew angrier the more she thought about it, especially remembering the despair and oppression she felt from Obito before. She couldn't help but angrily say, "Danzo, what did you do to Obito!"
Seeing Rin's misunderstanding, Obito scratched his head sheepishly, "Rin, you misunderstood. Although many people have grudges against Danzo, I'm not one of them. The Uchiha's revenge belongs to the Uchiha; I don't have much personal enmity with him."
Kakashi and Rin were both stunned. They thought Obito had explained so much to lead up to Danzo, but it seems that wasn't the case.
Kakashi's gaze turned serious, "Obito, let's put aside my father's matter and Danzo's matter for now."
"But you, you don't seem like the Obito I know. How do you know so much? Even knowing my father was the head of the Anbu, where did this information come from? And you, this idiot, where did you get such strong logical thinking skills? Who taught you, and what's the purpose?"
Obito took a deep breath, his eyes becoming profound. He calmly looked at Kakashi and Rin and slowly said, "Because it involves secrets, and to prove I'm not lying, I'll take you to a place."
After saying this, he closed and opened his eyes, activating the Mangekyo Sharingan.
In front of him, a portal to the Kamui dimension gradually formed.
He stepped into the portal first and beckoned to the two still outside.
"Come in. This is a space-time ninjutsu I released using my eyes. The world inside is absolutely safe, but maintaining this portal puts a huge strain on my body," As he spoke, two lines of blood tears flowed from his eyes.
Rin was initially shocked that Obito possessed such an incredible ability, but hearing Obito's words, her small face showed a pained expression, and she immediately pulled Kakashi in.
Obito quickly closed the portal and deactivated his Sharingan.
"Obito, are you okay?", Rin was very worried and took out a white handkerchief to wipe away Obito's blood tears.
Obito felt warm inside and smiled, "I'm fine. This is the price of using these eyes. It's just a little blood; summoning jutsu also requires blood."
Rin was a bit angry, "Nonsense, your whole body was trembling just now. Obito, promise me, use this power less in the future, okay?"
Obito nodded.
If it weren't for showing Rin and Kakashi some evidence, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to open a spatial portal.
This direct door-opening ability was something he gained after obtaining dual Kamui. It consumes much more chakra than directly pulling someone into the Kamui dimension. During the fight with Kaguya Otsutsuki, it was only with Sakura acting as a battery that he had enough chakra to open the portal.
However, back then, he was opening Kaguya's dimension, and his own state wasn't great, which is different from opening his own Kamui dimension.
Still, he felt a slight decline in his vision.
After Rin wiped away his blood tears, Kakashi couldn't wait to ask, "Obito, your eyes just now... were they the Sharingan? But they're different from what I've seen. How many more things are you hiding from us?"
Obito took Rin's hand and held it tightly. What he was about to say next involved many things he didn't want to face, and he needed Rin's encouragement.
He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Rin, Kakashi, I've come back from 26 years in the future. I don't want to hide this from you, but this is my biggest secret. I hope you won't reveal it to anyone for now."
