Hiruzen was still a little surprised that Zhang Miao knew that Ying had a sister.
Because the identity of an Anbu member was confidential, other than the internal staff, it was difficult for others to know their real identity and family situation.
Although Zhang Miao didn't know Ying's real identity, he knew that she had a sister who was studying in the Academy since Ying told him herself.
Of course, Zhang Miao was obviously joking about the concubine stuff back then.
"Maybe Ying wanted Ryunosuke to be friends with her sister!"
Thinking of this, Hiruzen immediately asked Zhang Miao, "If I tell you her real name, what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do?" Hearing Hiruzen's question, Zhang Miao immediately rolled his eyes at him, "Of course, I will follow her sister's wishes and take her as my eighteenth concubine!"
Hiruzen, "..."
"I really want to beat him to tears!"
Looking at Zhang Miao's expression, the corner of Hiruzen's mouth twitched twice again. Then he picked up his pipe and took a huff, spitting out a long string of smoke.
At this time, Hiruzen secretly pondered. Although Zhang Miao had been talking nonsense with him all the time, it could be seen that he still had feelings for Ying. Now, he tried to find out about her little sister. Perhaps he also wanted to take care of Ying's sister.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Hiruzen's face.
"Well... Ryunosuke, Ying's sister is indeed studying at the Academy, but I can't tell you her identity, unless you promise me one thing!"
"Okay!" Hearing Hiruzen's words, Zhang Miao nodded without hesitation, "Let alone one thing, I will agree to promise you one more!"
Seeing Zhang Miao's quick agreement, Hiruzen immediately nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, then promise me two things!"
Zhang Miao, "..."
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
Looking at Zhang Miao's depressed expression, Hiruzen's smile became brighter and brighter. As he smiled, he spoke to Zhang Miao.
"The first thing is that you have to keep this a secret. You can't tell anyone, including Kakashi. Can you do that?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Miao answered without hesitation. Anyway, it was just a verbal thing, and he would not lose anything if he agreed!
Hiruzen seemed to have seen through Zhang Miao's thoughts. He shook his head and then said the second condition.
"Second, tell me who controlled the Kyubi to attack Konoha!"
Speaking of this, Hiruzen's face was suddenly full of anger. It could be seen that he hated the person who controlled the Kyubi to the bone.
Zhang Miao understood his anger. After all, the loss brought to Konoha by the Kyubi was too great. Many ninjas and villagers died in this incident. Even Hiruzen's wife, Biwako, was not spared.
It was impossible for Hiruzen to let go of the person who controlled the Kyubi!
Looking at the anger on Hiruzen's face, Zhang Miao nodded.
"Well, let me tell you, the person who attacked Konoha was the disciple of the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Obito!"
"..."
When he heard this name, a trace of shock flashed across Hiruzen's face.
"Obito? That's impossible! He is dead, and he gave one of his Sharingan to Kakashi before he died. He couldn't be the one behind that attack! This is impossible!"
Hiruzen said "impossible" twice in a row, not because he denied it from the bottom of his heart. On the contrary, it was because he was shaken!
In fact, Hiruzen had always suspected that the person who controlled the Kyubi was from the Uchiha clan, because since the establishment of the Ninja Village, only Uchiha Madara was capable of this feat.
Because of this, when Zhang Miao said the word "Uchiha", Hiruzen had already believed half of it. The reason why he repeatedly denied it was because he hoped that Zhang Miao could give him a reasonable explanation.
And Zhang Miao soon satisfied him.
Looking at Hiruzen's shocked face, Zhang Miao suddenly smiled and shook his head.
"There is nothing impossible. Obito was seriously injured in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. Half of his body was almost smashed by the boulder. Logically speaking, he was definitely going to die, but he was saved by someone!"
At this point, Zhang Miao suddenly grinned at Hiruzen.
"You definitely won't be able to guess who this person is, so I'll just tell you directly. This person is the famous Uchiha Madara!"
"..."
Hearing this name, Hiruzen immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, revealing a face full of shock.
"Madara? He's not dead yet?"
Knowing that Madara was still alive, Hiruzen's expression was the same as Fugaku's, full of shock and disbelief.
Looking at his shocked expression, Zhang Miao nodded again.
"Yes, Uchiha Madara is not dead. He has been secretly studying the the First Hokage's cells all these years. After he saved Obito, he used the results of his research to repair his body. At the same time, he used the death of Nohara Rin to make Obito fall to his side."
"I see!"
Hearing Zhang Miao's explanation, Hiruzen suddenly nodded.
"Hashirama's cells have a very strong vitality. It could make Madara live for so many years and save Obito. It seems that he has a deep understanding of those cells, and Obito is just a child. So he would be easy to use."
At this point, Hiruzen looked at Zhang Miao with a puzzled face.
"But how did you know such a secret?"
If Fugaku asked him this question, Zhang Miao would not even bother to explain. But he couldn't do that to Hiruzen , because the old man was someone who knew his background. It was impossible to fool him casually.
Therefore, Zhang Miao laughed.
"Haha... Actually, I didn't know about these things either. It's just that in the past month, when I fell asleep, I could always hear someone talking in my mind. I naturally remembered it when they kept coming to my sleep!"
"Someone is talking inside your head?" Hearing Zhang Miao's explanation, Hiruzen immediately frowned, "Is it a similar ninjutsu to Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Jutsu?"
The Mind Transfer Jutsu is Yamanaka clan's secret technique. It was a kind of telepathic form of communication that could be used to send thoughts or messages to other people. It could also be used as a means of mass-communication. Usually the user needed to touch their target's forehead to send the message.
During the Fourth War in the original work, Inoichi used this technique to let Shikaku command the Allied Shinobi Forces. It was a really practical ninjutsu.
Now that Zhang Miao said that someone was talking in his mind, Hiruzen immediately thought of this, and at the same time, he was more sure of his original guess.
"It seems that Minato did leave a backup plan. Although he is dead, the people he left behind are still investigating the real culprit who attacked Konoha. Now, he told me this through Ryunosuke. He really has good intentions!"
Thinking of this, Hiruzen was a little moved.
"Even after your death, you never stop thinking about Konoha. You are really worthy of being my successor. A true Hokage!"
Obviously, Zhang Miao's misleading explanation had created a wonderful misunderstanding for Hiruzen.
However, Zhang Miao did not care about this. Seeing that Hiruzen was in a daze again, he immediately stomped the floor impatiently.
"Hey, hey, hey, Third old man, I have told you everything I need to tell you. Now, can you tell me the name of Ying's sister? I am still in a hurry to bring her home to revive the Uzumaki clan. If you delay me any longer, my ancestors will come at you with a coffin!"
Hiruzen, "..."
Minato and Kushina came for me while bringing a coffin?
Thinking of this, Hiruzen was in a mess, and Zhang Miao also received the system prompt again.
"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 7-star Kage-level, Sarutobi Hiruzen ninja fragment x5!]"
