Chapter 138 Is Kakashi Hatake's White Moonlight Rin or Obito Uchiha? [Fourth Update]
The fact that Naruto Uzumaki's father was the Fourth Hokage might not have been a secret to Jiraiya, but for Sasuke Uchiha, it was a huge secret.
He never imagined that the bottom student in his class had such an impressive background.
Although he didn't know much about Naruto Uzumaki before, he knew the basics. There were many orphans in Konoha, so it wasn't unusual.
He himself was an orphan.
Compared to Naruto Uzumaki, he only had a few more years of a warm childhood.
"How is this possible? If he were the Fourth Hokage, how could he be treated like this?" Uchiha Sasuke was shocked and couldn't understand it.
In his mind, someone like the Fourth Hokage, who had made great contributions to the entire Hidden Leaf Village and held a high position, should not have his child suffer such an end.
He had heard about the villagers' attitude towards Naruto Uzumaki and had even witnessed it many times. At that time, he didn't have a deep feeling because he thought Naruto Uzumaki was just an ordinary orphan, but he was the Fourth Hokage's child.
This news completely shattered his worldview!
Logically speaking, Naruto Uzumaki should be considered a child of Konoha's higher-ups, and should have lived the life of a young master, with dedicated care and protection. How did he end up like this?
He doesn't understand?
At that moment, he suddenly remembered that in Kitahara Kaede's diary, in the video of Uchiha Itachi returning home, Uchiha Itachi had mentioned that he came to Konoha for the Fourth Hokage's legacy.
He originally thought that the so-called legacy of the Fourth Hokage was the monster inside Naruto's body, but now that he thinks about it, the legacy he was talking about might be the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
As for the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, he had never even heard of her.
This is one of the serious consequences of the Uchiha clan's extermination. Normally, for someone like Uchiha Sasuke, even if Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya hadn't appeared in Konoha for a long time, someone would have explained the Legendary Sannin of Konoha to him.
But now he's not much better off than an ordinary civilian ninja, and there's nothing he can do.
However, he also knew that if things were to proceed according to the original timeline, then after the Third Hokage died, the Fifth Hokage should be chosen, and that person would be Tsunade.
The moment he saw the content, he suddenly felt a surge of jealousy.
Because Naruto Uzumaki can go back twenty years to see his father, but what about himself?
There's no chance anymore!
Perhaps in the future, if I can learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique, I'll have a chance. But otherwise, there's no possibility.
So for the first time, he felt genuine jealousy towards Naruto Uzumaki, even if it was only for a moment.
He also longed to return to that carefree past. If he could go back, he would definitely tell his father to be careful of Uchiha Itachi, to be careful of that great demon.
"Just as I expected."
Uchiha Itachi muttered to himself.
He also had some guesses about Naruto's identity.
Back then, the relationship between Fugaku Uchiha and his wife and Minato Namikaze and his wife was very good, or rather, both sides were willing to improve their relationship, so they quickly became closer.
He was still young at the time, but he still has some memories.
So when he learned that Naruto Uzumaki was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he had a vague suspicion.
Because Sasuke Uchiha was slightly older than Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke had already been born at the time, while the Hokage couple's child had not yet been born, but their ages should be around that time.
However, he lacked concrete intelligence and could only make a guess.
This is simply a case of my initial speculation being proven true.
Suddenly, Itachi Uchiha remembered a passage that had appeared in Kitahara Kaede's earlier diary.
The son of the Hokage is still the Hokage, and the son of the scapegoat is still the scapegoat.
Of the five and a half Hokage known so far, the First and Second Hokage lived too long ago, and even if they had children, they died long ago. The Third Hokage had two sons, but his eldest son died very early, and it is said that he only left behind one son.
The youngest son is Sarutobi Asuma, who previously appeared in Kitahara Kaede's diary and was supposed to fight him.
However, based on the information already revealed, after the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, there should be the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, then the Fifth Hokage Danzo Shimura, and the true Sixth Hokage, judging from the current selections in Konoha, is Kakashi Hatake.
Because in this generation, there is probably no one more outstanding than Kakashi Hatake. Sarutobi Asuma obviously cannot compare with Kakashi Hatake. Whether in terms of prestige or strength, Kakashi Hatake is the number one among the younger generation.
Naruto Uzumaki, who grew up after Kakashi Hatake, might be the Seventh Hokage. This aligns with what Kitahara Kaede said: the son of the Hokage is still the Hokage. Although Kitahara Kaede implied that Sasuke's future strength would be no less than Naruto's, Fugaku Uchiha was not the Hokage, so this does not fit the description.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and like Uchiha Sasuke, he also had a deep-rooted idea of hierarchy.
It's only natural that the son of the Uchiha clan leader would become the next Uchiha clan leader, so wouldn't it also be only natural that the Hokage's son would become the next Hokage?
In the ninja world, it is taken for granted that bloodline inheritance also reflects status.
In terms of strength, Naruto Uzumaki is qualified to become Hokage. He is one of the two mountains of the future ninja world certified by Kitahara Kaede, and his identity also matches Kitahara Kaede's statement about the Hokage's son.
"The Sixth Hokage, or the Seventh Hokage?" Itachi Uchiha scribbled on the white paper. "Let's organize the timeline. In the Chunin Exams six months from now, the Hokage will die at Orochimaru's hands, and Tsunade will succeed him as the Fifth Hokage. Judging from the timeline of Sasuke's pursuit of Danzo Shimura, it will be at most three years later, maybe around three or four years from now."
"In other words, the Fifth Hokage's time in charge of Konoha will be between two and a half to three and a half years. We also need to reserve five months for Danzo's time, but it shouldn't be very long. That's why he wasn't officially recognized as Hokage."
"The Fifth Hokage was likely already dead at that time, so a Sixth Hokage was needed. However, Naruto Uzumaki was too young then, only fifteen or sixteen years old. Currently, none of the Kage in the villages are capable of becoming Kage at that age. Therefore, if Naruto Uzumaki were to become Hokage in the future, the Seventh Hokage would be the most likely candidate based on his age. So, it is also highly probable that the Sixth Hokage would be Kakashi-senpai."
After sorting out the timeline, Itachi Uchiha was certain of some things. The reason he wanted to sort out the Hokage of each generation and the timeline was to deduce the time when Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, attacked Konoha Village, which had appeared in Kitahara Kaede's diary.
That scene greatly shocked him; the power to wipe out a village in one strike completely stunned Uchiha Itachi.
Although Itachi Uchiha had some guesses about the strength of the Akatsuki leader before, after all, it would be impossible to suppress so many S-class wanted criminals without sufficient strength.
However, being this strong is still a bit outrageous.
Based on the standard Uchiha Itachi's assessment of his strength as shown in that video, if he were to fight using Susanoo in the core of Konoha, even if he were to go blind with both of his Mangekyou Sharingan, he still wouldn't be able to completely destroy Konoha.
The difference in strength between the two sides is obvious.
Why did Konoha have a 5.5 Hokage so quickly after welcoming the Fifth Hokage? According to Itachi Uchiha's speculation, it is highly likely that he died during Pain's attack on the village.
That makes sense, because that one move destroyed the entire village of Konoha. With that level of destructive power, how many people in Konoha could have survived?
Therefore, he had to find out the exact time when the Akatsuki leader planned to invade Konoha.
If possible, we could even find out from Kitahara Kaede whether Pain, the leader of the organization, has any weaknesses, and assassinate Pain before he decides to attack Konoha.
Although the chances were slim, and although his mission was to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization and bring the village various intelligence about the Akatsuki.
However, if Konoha Village is destroyed, what is the point of my infiltration?
"Did you see your teacher from back then?" Kakashi Hatake thought for a moment. He didn't remember having such a mission back then, anything about centipedes or anything like that. He had never even heard of it.
However, with so many missions in Konoha, it's normal that he didn't know them.
He also longed to go back twenty years. Twenty years ago, if he could see his teacher, would he have a chance to see Obito and Rin again when they were young?
That was his ideal woman, but whether it was Rin or Obito Uchiha was hard to say.
He knew that such an opportunity was extremely rare, or even impossible to come by.
So he was only briefly tempted before quickly regaining his composure. He wouldn't be moved by such an unrealistic reality.
He was different from Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha would fantasize about using the Impure World Reincarnation to bring his family back from the underworld. However, a mature ninja like him knew that every ninjutsu had a price to pay.
The price he would pay for bringing the dead back to this world is something he certainly cannot afford.
He couldn't bring himself to use other people's lives to fill his own hole.
"But if that's the case, is the future Fifth Hokage Tsunade-sama?" Kakashi Hatake nodded.
This aligns with his understanding that Konoha, unlike its former days when it was teeming with talent, is now suffering from a decline in its pool of talent.
In reality, the choice is simply between Jiraiya and Tsunade.
