After finishing a day's mission, Hatake Kakashi returned home feeling a bit tired.
It wasn't because the mission was difficult; it was actually too simple.
It was so easy that he didn't even need to guide the three kids in Team 7. He just sat quietly on the side and read.
"I have to say, Lord Jiraiya's writing is getting better and better."
"The characters are well-developed, the plot is interesting, and the immersion is really strong."
After lying in bed with his eyes closed for a while to shake off the fatigue from reading, he got up, stretched, and prepared to cook.
At that moment, he noticed a Seal Tag called the White Zetsu Detection Seal Tag in the corner of his desk.
He remembered that a few days ago, the Fifth Hokage had asked all the Jonin of Konoha, in front of many people, to use one on him every day.
The purpose was to avoid being possessed by a creature called White Zetsu.
Seeing the Hokage so serious, the Jonin didn't dare to be careless and started using the Seal Tag on themselves every day.
A few days had passed, and so far, there had been no signs of anyone among the Jonin being possessed by White Zetsu.
"Well~ I don't think I've used it today," he muttered.
Kakashi skillfully stuck the Seal Tag on himself and continued with his cooking routine.
Just as he was about to head to the kitchen, something white began to emerge from his body.
"Is this White Zetsu?"
Kakashi didn't panic. He stood there with a serious expression, quietly waiting for White Zetsu to fully emerge.
Not long after, when the entire White Zetsu was out, Kakashi didn't say a word. He punched and kicked the White Zetsu to the ground, then grabbed a bundle of ropes from the cabinet and tied up the White Zetsu in front of him.
"I didn't expect the famous Kakashi to play like this. You're really naughty, but I like it too."
Kakashi: ???
Is something wrong with this White Zetsu?
"What's wrong, Kakashi-san? Are you afraid of hurting me? Don't be scared. The rougher you are, the more I like it. Come on, take me down! Don't hold back just because I'm a delicate flower. Come on!"
Looking at the White Zetsu lying on the ground and posing, Kakashi helplessly rubbed his forehead.
He remembered that when the Fifth Hokage was instructing them, he had mentioned that the personalities of these White Zetsu were quite peculiar, and they shouldn't be surprised if they saw them.
Kakashi admitted that this White Zetsu was indeed strange, so strange that even he could hardly handle it.
"What a pain."
As the fifth Hokage of Konoha Village, Jiraiya's home was not very large and the decor was quite simple.
It was similar to the house where the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, lived—just an ordinary two-bedroom apartment.
Taking advantage of the night, Jiraiya was preparing to go to a 24-hour hot spring hotel to "gather materials."
Even though he had become the Hokage of Konoha, it didn't stop his determination to be a great writer.
Unfortunately, today was a bit of a setback.
The Third Hokage had brought Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi to his place.
They were also holding two White Zetsu.
"Orochimaru will probably be very happy. We have more materials for his experiments."
Once home, Jiraiya asked the three of them to sit down.
It was clear he wasn't in a very good mood.
Right now, he just wanted to hand over these two White Zetsu to Orochimaru so he could go out and "gather materials."
"Did you discover anything, old man?"
The Third Hokage nodded and replied, "They said they were ordered to come to Konoha for surveillance and to investigate if there are any suspicious people here."
"Suspicious people?"
"Yes."
"That's a bit strange."
Not only did the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya find it odd, but the Third Hokage did as well.
Who are the suspicious people in Konoha, and what does it have to do with Uchiha Obito?
At the same time, they both felt that Uchiha Obito might be seriously ill.
You are the successor of Uchiha Madara and the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Why do you care so much about Konoha Village?
You should also pay attention to the other four major ninja villages.
What does it mean to treat everyone equally? Do you understand?
The Hidden Mist Village: Come on, our village is almost ruined by this bastard, so please don't come here.
"Old man, do you think there's a chance that the person they are looking for is the Nidaime-sama?"
"Don't tell me, don't tell me, there's a chance, and it's not small."
Ever since they saw the character review on the light screen and learned some things, the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya and the Third Hokage decided to keep a low profile while maintaining the status quo.
A ninja's battle is a battle of intelligence.
As long as they know the enemy's information behind the village, they will have a greater advantage in battle.
Now, they only know about Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan, but they don't know the weaknesses of Kamui or the people in Akatsuki.
Therefore, the longer they drag things out and the more light screen videos they watch, the better their chances of winning will be.
"Wait, you two Hokages, what are you talking about? What about Nidaime-sama? Why don't I understand?"
What the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya and the Third Hokage said made Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai very concerned.
After all, he is the Second Hokage of the village, Senju Tobirama.
As long as someone is from Konoha, everyone cares.
"Old man, what do you think? Should we tell them?"
The Third Hokage was speechless.
If Jiraiya really didn't want Asuma and Kurenai to know about the Nidaime, he shouldn't have mentioned it in front of them.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he found himself facing the questions of the two and had to deal with it.
If anything happens in the future, will I be responsible for it? It has nothing to do with him.
I'm already retired, but this guy is still blaming me.
He truly isn't human.
At this moment, the Third Hokage unexpectedly thought of Danzo.
"They will find out sooner or later, so why not take this chance to tell them?"
"Okay, old man. Take them back and talk to them. I will send these two White Zetsu to Orochimaru."
"Okay."
Asuma Sarutobi is the son of the Third Hokage, and Kurenai Yuhi is his future daughter-in-law. They are not outsiders.
Telling them in advance can also make them more alert.
"Eh~ Kakashi, are you also possessed by White Zetsu?"
The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, went out with the Third Hokage and his men, carrying two White Zetsu. He happened to see Kakashi and the White Zetsu tied up like dumplings.
"Sandaime-sama, Fifth Hokage-sama, what are you doing?"
The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya and the Third Hokage exchanged glances, and after a few quick signals, they had the following conversation.
Jiraiya: White Zetsu has targeted Kakashi. Why don't you tell him about Obito?
Third Hokage: Sure, I don't mind.
Jiraiya: I'll leave it to you then. I'll go deliver White Zetsu to Orochimaru.
Third Hokage: You just want to slack off.
Jiraiya: Wow, you figured it out.
Third Hokage: Get out of here!
Jiraiya: Okay!
