Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#377 - Speculations about Shenwei

In short, after a series of deductions that weren't too convoluted, the Leaf Village elites and leaders in the Hokage's office had roughly determined the identity of the masked man in the Akatsuki organization.

The reality was cruel. Despite being a former close comrade, a steadfast inheritor of the Will of Fire, and even someone who once frequently mentioned becoming Hokage as a catchphrase.

Obito, long ago, had been formally revered along with many senior and junior ninjas as one of the glorious martyrs who unfortunately sacrificed themselves for the prosperity and peace of Konoha.

But the current situation forced them to overturn this conclusion with their own hands.

Therefore, Kakashi was currently lost and grieved.

In the eyes of multiple observers in the room, Kakashi might have fallen into severe self-doubt, temporarily losing the precise decision-making and judgment of a ninja.

So, for a time, while the Third Hokage, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Koharu Utatane, and others began to analyze the newly acquired information about Obito's space-time abilities from multiple angles and construct countermeasures.

Kakashi remained silent, his hands tightly gripping his pockets, his eyes vacant, and his thoughts wandering elsewhere.

Seeing this, Naruto, as his student, seemed to want to offer some comfort, but for a moment, he didn't know how to start.

On the other hand, Liang Yue, although he hadn't directly asked about the situation and outcome of the confrontation between the group and Nagato Uzumaki after entering the room, it didn't prevent him from making his own judgments through the conversations of the people present.

"It seems Nagato is dead, killed by Obito's sneak attack... It seems that, compared to the original story, Obito is now much more wary of Konoha's strength.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so hastily."

"Also, although Konan has successfully escaped with Nagato's body, she will inevitably seek revenge on Obito afterward, just like in the original storyline.

That spendthrift woman..."

"Speaking of which, judging from the current situation, the following plot shouldn't deviate too much, right?"

"After all, although the process is a bit tortuous and the timeline is slightly advanced, the Rinnegan has indeed been obtained by Obito, just like in the original story, so the Ninja World War should be next."

"As for the Impure World Reincarnation..."

"...However, this doesn't seem to prevent him from being resurrected again. From a fundamental perspective, the person most likely to trigger this event should be Orochimaru..."

...

"Chunqiu, you are the only one among us who has fought Obito, so do you have any supplementary information or combat strategies regarding him?"

The Third Hokage looked over with a deep expression and asked.

"I have fought him twice. The first time was during the mission at the Fire Temple, and the battle process has detailed records. The second time was just before.

When I was confronting Pain Tendo's Shinra Tensei, he suddenly appeared and attacked from behind, but he was still killed by me."

Saying this, Liang Yue paused and looked at the listeners in front of him who had focused their attention on him, and then continued.

"Being killed twice, yet still being able to resurrect, so the opponent obviously used the Uchiha clan's forbidden technique ~ Izanagi. And to use this secret technique.

The price is to sacrifice a Sharingan, but Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan, which has awakened space-time abilities, is too precious to be used as a consumable.

Therefore, the opponent should still have some finished Sharingan stored, so if you want to eliminate the opponent, the first thing to do is to eliminate these consumables."

"Tsk~ This is a bit troublesome. Obito's space-time ninjutsu is indeed very difficult to deal with. Simply relying on killing the opponent to consume all his stored Sharingan is not easy."

Saying this, Jiraiya touched his chin, a much younger-looking old face showing a bit of contemplation, and then continued.

"Moreover, I think there should be quite a few Sharingan hidden by the opponent."

"After the Uchiha massacre that year, a considerable number of Sharingan did disappear. It seems that this matter ~ besides Danzo, the opponent also participated."

Saying this, the Third Hokage's expression became increasingly ugly, and finally completely gloomy.

Obviously, this old fellow also realized that the matter was very棘手... (棘手 means thorny or troublesome)

Think about it, facing space-time abilities of the level of Kamui, it's not enough to just defeat and kill the opponent, you also have to accompany Obito and exhaust his backup health bars one by one.

If something goes wrong in the middle, their side will suffer real losses!

"So, to eliminate that guy's Sharingan consumables, so that he can't use Izanagi, the most practical way is to find the opponent's Sharingan storage base?"

Tsunade's face was also not good-looking at this time, her right hand pinching her brow and constantly rubbing it, but the irritability in her eyes could not be smoothed away.

"Regarding the storage base, I might be able to help..."

At this moment, Kakashi, who was originally standing aside in grief, suddenly spoke, addressing the people in the Hokage's office.

In the next moment, the eyes of everyone in the room once again focused on him.

Kakashi then took off his forehead protector, touched the eyelid covering his Sharingan, and then said.

"Because of my strength, I have actually been exploring the secrets of this Mangekyo Sharingan. Every time I activate and use it, I can vaguely feel a hidden space.

Those items or ninjutsu that I transfer away do not disappear out of thin air, but are transferred to that space. Given Obito's current situation.

If he wants to find a safe enough storage base, then there should be no place more suitable than this space. Of course, this is just my guess.

After all, I have never been inside."

"...You mean, you can try to send people into that space?"

The Third Hokage heard this, stared at Kakashi on the side, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, facing this unknown possibility, the old fellow still cherished his life more.

And even if they were safely sent in at that time, and there were indeed a large number of Sharingan collected by Obito hidden inside, how to get out afterward would also be an important issue.
