Sarutobi Hiruzen was left thinking about Uzumaki Mito's evaluation of Kazuki, comparing him to a second Konoha nine-tailed fox!
In some ways, Kazuki could truly be considered Konoha's second tailed beast.
He also understood why Uzumaki Mito asked that this matter must be kept secret, and only the Hokage and Tsunade could know it!
Too scary...
If it is spread out, the Uchiha clan will probably rebel the next day!
Too insulting...
And the other shinobi clans in Konoha will also have great distrust of the Hokage...
Those who knew the truth understood that this was a technique that influenced the target's will through chakra... But those who didn't know might think it was a forbidden technique aimed at taking over the target's body.
In fact, even Hiruzen wasn't completely sure that it wasn't possession.
After all, Kazuki is Uchiha, and his sensei's bottom line is very low, not to mention Uchiha...
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes gradually became firm.
Meanwhile, Tsunade was still in shock.
But at this moment, Senju Tobirama was dumbfounded...
He had to admit it.
He studied the chakra of the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans, studied the soul, studied artificial tailed beasts...
He even had an idea similar to what Uzumaki Mito said...
But he really didn't succeed!
Just because it looks like I did it, it doesn't mean I did it!
Tobirama felt that Mito was placing a huge guilt on his head...
The logic and arguments were very clear, so he didn't know how to refute it...
Could it be that Uchiha Izuna, and his chakra just happened to be reincarnated into Kazuki?
Senju Tobirama unconsciously began to doubt his life and wondered if his reputation was misunderstood...
And at this moment, Kazuki's figure appeared beside Senju Tobirama, and said to him in a faint voice: "Tobirama, what Mito-sama said is not true, right?"
"Tell me the truth, I don't blame you, really..."
Senju Tobirama was stunned, a feeling of nervousness, like he had never felt before, invaded him.
It was hard to describe...
It is different from being caught by his elder brother to develop forbidden techniques, fighting with the Uchiha clan, and fighting in the Shinobi World War...
All those moments of tension arose from things he himself had done, from the consequences of his own actions.
But the situation with Kazuki... had absolutely nothing to do with him. Nothing at all!
But the problem is that Uzumaki Mito and Sarutobi Hiruzen sang the same tune. The two people who knew him best formed a perfect logical chain from his style of doing things back then, to the artificial tailed beasts in his research notes, and then to his hatred with the Uchiha clan.
So much so that even Tobirama himself thought that, to an outside observer, it made more sense that Kazuki was a product of his experiments with forbidden techniques than the reality of dual reincarnation.
"Tobirama, why don't you say anything? Are you thinking about how to defend yourself?"
"Kazuki, it's really not me, I really didn't..."
"Wait, don't talk!" Kazuki waved his hand.
Without realizing it, he forgot that he himself had asked why Tobirama wasn't speaking.
Senju Tobirama obediently shut his mouth, and he didn't know what to say.
"I think I figured it out..."
Kazuki seemed to be recalling the past, and said slowly: "Being an Uchiha, why, when I was tormented by the conflicts between my clan and the village, did I decide to come to you, Tobirama?"
Senju Tobirama thought quickly and argued: "That's logical, Kazuki!"
"I was the Second Hokage, and I had a very close relationship with the Uchiha clan. I was the one who created the Konoha Police Force to curb the Uchiha, and I trained both Monkey and Danzo. So, in order to solve the problem at its root, it's no wonder you sought me out."
Kazuki frowned. "But I remember when I told you, you just thought I was doing it to destroy Konoha, right?"
Senju Tobirama's face froze for a moment, and after a moment, he smiled and said: "Isn't it to test you..."
"Test me, test me..." Kazuki muttered, repeating the words. He didn't know why, but Kazuki's calm tone gave Tobirama a cold feeling.
"Okay. Then tell me, how is it possible that, without having a single tissue or blood sample from you, just by perceiving the Pure Land, your soul ended up inside my body?"
"Is there such a mistake in the Impure World Reincarnation Technique?"
"And with the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique, there's also a mistake, right? Otherwise, how could I sense your summoning space?"
"Tobirama, how are you going to explain this..."
"Tell me the truth, is it your chakra that affects my thinking, so that I have the idea of finding you to solve the problem, and then sense your soul, so you come into my body..."
"According to Mito-sama, you combined your chakra with that of Uchiha Izuna, and even the Uzumaki... all to create a second Nine-Tails."
"But you are more cautious than Mito-sama thought. In order to prevent accidents, you set up a chain of tricks and put the soul into my body, so that you can ensure that the power will not get out of control..."
"After all, chakra can't speak, but the soul can. You can even transmit the power to me and suppress Uchiha Izuna's chakra. This is what you have been doing..."
Kazuki's emotions seemed to be out of control. His words became more and more depressed. His voice was so small and so far away from Senju Tobirama that he sounded a little vague.
But Senju Tobirama tried his best to listen to Kazuki's words, and his pupils kept trembling.
How could Kazuki think so?
Yes...
He can indeed talk to Kazuki, and Kazuki has indeed been rejecting his power. It is indeed he who forced it into Kazuki...
And the purpose of giving Kazuki power seems to be to suppress Uchiha Izuna?
This, this, this...
These are really all coincidences!
Tobirama didn't even know how to defend himself. The ones who presented the arguments against him were none other than Uzumaki Mito and Sarutobi Hiruzen, those who knew him best.
He would never have imagined that a topic as obvious as dual chakra reincarnation would be so difficult for Mito and Hiruzen to see.
How could they be so obtuse, diverting everything to human experimentation? It even seemed like a plausible theory, so much so that he himself was perplexed upon hearing it!
"Kazuki, listen to my explanation..."
"Don't say anything!"
Kazuki covered his head and murmured to himself: "I'm so stupid, really..."
"Tobirama, I was worried that you were an emotional idiot, so I told you the five-step method that Uchiha Rin used to control Uchiha Obito, but it turned out that you are the master of this method!"
Tobirama looked at Kazuki, confused.
It's not that he can't admit that he knows forbidden techniques and human experiments, but this five-step method...
God and heaven are his conscience, he, Senju Tobirama, has never known this in his life!
Let alone a lover, he has never been in a relationship in his life, he has never even held a woman's hand, so how could he know such a crooked method?
Kazuki held up five fingers, with a hint of sadness in his tone he said: "First step, the Curiosity Trap: An ordinary Uchiha boy suddenly summons the soul of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, into his body. Naturally, this will fill him with curiosity and lead him to investigate..."
"Second step, the exploration trap: you change his perspective. Before he saw you as an evil child of the Uchiha clan, but little by little you begin to recognize him, sometimes even defending him. This is the difference and the turning point."
"Third step, the Trap of Deception: You establish an emotional contract. Several times you offered to transfer your power to me, even if I refused. All of this was to suppress Uchiha Izuna's chakra, constantly implying that I can only accept your power..."
He had only two fingers left. His voice became even softer: "Tobirama, tell me, what are the last two steps? I explained it to you before, and you've used them too..."
Tobirama's brain was completely blocked, but his memory was still intact, and almost automatically, he replied: "The trap of destruction, and then the trap of the cycle of repetition..."
Kazuki laughed. "Wow, so you know, Tobirama!"
"So, should you start to suppress me next? And then praise me when I'm desperate?"
"After all, it wouldn't be the first time. You are the Second Hokage of Konoha. If I don't obey you, then I don't have the Will of Fire, right? Aren't those your own words?"
Senju Tobirama wanted to slap himself! Why is his memory so good? And even if he had it, why couldn't his mouth remain silent?
Kazuki didn't say anything else, sitting next to Tobirama with a deep look.
At this moment, Tobirama felt the eye power of Uchiha Izuna again, vibrating happily. It even seemed to slowly grow, getting stronger little by little...
Uchiha Izuna, you really deserve to die!
I'm being misunderstood here and you're enjoying it! Come out and say something!
At this moment, Senju Tobirama felt that his ability to communicate with Kazuki was actually a disadvantage...
He didn't know what to say. Maybe keeping quiet was a better option. But the problem was that, even if he was able to speak, silence would only confirm that everything was true.
He seemed to see Uchiha Izuna's evil smile, mocking him fiercely...
