Chapter 353 Two Years
After listening to Bai Ye's words, Kushina fell silent.

She didn't understand why Bai Ye told him the plan against the Third Hokage, nor did she understand why Bai Ye imprisoned her here after saving her.

But she knew that when facing Bai Ye, she had no power to choose.

Whether she opposes Bai Ye's plan or not, Bai Ye will carry out the plan that will make the Third Hokage suffer, and any opposition and obstruction will be ineffective.

As for the promise of making Naruto the Fifth Hokage, Kushina was still a little moved.

Naruto's ability to become Hokage means that he has been recognized by everyone, which is a good thing for Naruto. She cannot refuse Bai Ye's promise.

After a moment's silence, Kushina asked Bai Ye: "After all this talk, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Bai Ye glanced at Kushina, then said:
"You don't need to do anything. You just need to show up in Konoha at the specified time, take charge of Konoha as the Hokage's widow, and tell me some evidence of the crimes I prepared for the Third Hokage."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Ye handed the scroll with the text to Kushina. Kushina took the information scroll, looked at it for a few seconds, and her expression became extremely strange.

The information recorded in it is all related to the Third Hokage, and are all things that the Third Hokage experienced, but isn’t the way of narration a bit too outrageous?
For example, when the Second Hokage was appointing the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen figured out the Second Hokage's thoughts in advance and took the initiative to stay behind to cover their retreat, thereby gaining the Second Hokage's trust.

When he realized that Konoha White Fang had a chance to run for Hokage, he used public opinion to kill Konoha Byakuya.

During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered the Uchiha not to leave the house, and at the critical moment, he deliberately delayed time, putting himself and Minato in danger...

During the Uchiha Night, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who took the initiative to give the order, asking Uchiha Itachi to attack Uchiha.

After reading the entire scroll, Kushina's expression gradually became serious: "Bai Ye, where did you get these evidences? Is the information on it true?"

Bai Ye looked at Kushina. He was very satisfied with Kushina's reaction and said, "Some of them are true, and some are my guesses. As for whether Sarutobi Hiruzen did these things, it is no longer important."

"After all, no matter what the truth was at the time, the result is already like this."

Kushina sneered, and then said: "That being said, there are still many suspicious points about you. Why did you appear in Konoha when I gave birth to Naruto?"

"Why did you have to wait until Minato and the Nine-Tails were both killed before you slowly appeared?"

Bai Ye glanced at Kushina, sighed and said:
"Sister Kushina, have you forgotten that I am not a Konoha ninja? Of course, I have no reason to stop the enemy for Konoha. I am able to save you because we are of the same clan."

"If Konoha hadn't been severely damaged by the Nine-Tails Night, how could the Hidden Rain Village have developed so rapidly?"

Seeing Bai Ye's straightforward response, Kushina was slightly stunned, then she sighed softly.

Bai Ye was right. Although Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village had a close relationship, it was only as close as that between Minato and Yahiko and others. For Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village, it was impossible for the two sides to be friends forever.

The reason why Minato Namikaze warmly welcomed Yahiko at that time was just to form an alliance with the Hidden Rain Village.

After a pause, Bai Ye then dropped this bombshell news, saying meaningfully: "Besides, Nine-Tails Night is Konoha's family affair, how can an outsider like me interfere?"

"Household matters?"

Kushina frowned, stared at Bai Ye and said, "Bai Ye, what do you mean by this? Does the masked man who attacked Konoha have any relationship with Konoha? Isn't he the Uchiha Madara who defected decades ago?"

Bai Ye shook his head slightly:

"The masked man is not Uchiha Madara, he is a ninja from Konohagakure, and he is quite familiar with Kushina-senpai. I was shocked when I fought with the masked man for the first time, thinking it was the real Uchiha Madara?"

"The Uchiha I know?"

Kushina muttered to herself, then said, "Was it Mikoto, or Fugaku... or any other Uchiha jonin? But none of them have awakened their Mangekyō, so they can't defeat Minato."

"Think carefully, who is the Uchiha closest to you?"

Bai Ye continued to give hints, and Kushina said the last name doubtfully: "Bai Ye, you want to say it's Obito, right?"

Bai Ye nodded.

Kushina's eyes widened and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Obito is so gentle and kind, there is no way he would attack Minato. He also doesn't have the strength to fight against Minato."

Bai Ye said calmly: "Nothing is impossible. Obito opened the Sharingan to protect Kakashi, and it is not impossible for him to open the Mangekyō Sharingan after witnessing the cruelty of the ninja world."

"At first, I doubted my conclusion, but after hearing the news of Nohara Lin's death, I was not surprised."

"It is very normal for a boy like Obito, who lacked love since childhood, to turn evil after losing his beloved."

"As for the strength needed to defeat Minato, can I tell you that when I first visited Konoha, I already had strength comparable to the Five Kage?"

Hearing this, Kushina fell silent. She had already believed what Bai Ye said.

But one day she couldn't understand why Obito attacked her and why he attacked the village?
She had always treated Obito like her own brother. Although she would occasionally lose her temper with him, it was just a punishment for him being naughty.

As if he had guessed what Kushina was thinking, Byakuya continued, "Are you wondering why Obito wanted to attack Konoha? I was also very confused before, but now I have found the answer."

"Obito's target is the tailed beasts of the major ninja villages. He wants to revive the legendary Ten Tails and become the second Six Paths Sage. Only in this way can he revive Nohara Rin and bring eternal peace to the world."

"So Obito is working hard to revive Rin and bring world peace?"

Kushina paused, then said, "To attack the village without authorization just to revive Nohara Rin is really too much. I cannot forgive his behavior."

"But since you knew that Obito's goal was to deal with the tailed beasts, why didn't you stop him?"

Bai Ye looked at Kushina and said, "There are no tailed beasts in the Hidden Rain Village, so why should I stop him? Obito's act of capturing tailed beasts will only weaken the five great nations. As one gains, the other loses, and the Hidden Rain Village will only become stronger."

"Unless Konoha can be used by me, I will consider stopping Obito together, so I need you to publish the evidence of the Third Hokage's crimes and take charge of Konoha on my behalf. Do you agree to the deal between us?"

Hearing this, Kushina thought about it for a long time and finally nodded.

After reading the evidence of the Third Hokage's crimes, Kushina began to doubt him. The Third Hokage might have had good intentions at first, but the results were bad, causing the once prosperous Konoha to decline to its current state.

If he could agree to cooperate with Bai Ye and get the Third Hokage to step down, that would be the best.

As for whether she should continue to cooperate with Byakuya after returning to Konoha, she can weigh the pros and cons and make a decision at that time. Even if she becomes Byakuya's puppet, she and Naruto can be reunited as mother and son.

After seeing Kushina agreed, Bai Ye was very satisfied and began to prepare for the future trip to Konoha.

If he could take over the Konoha Village, he could move on to the next step of the plan. Whether it was the five major ninja villages or the nine tailed beasts, he would take them all into his possession.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for Naruto and Sasuke to graduate. After the graduation ceremony, Naruto and Sasuke both became members of Kakashi's team, which was not surprising to them.

Both of them were geniuses in the class and had known Kakashi for a long time, so it was natural for them to become Kakashi's students. What surprised them was that Sakura actually became their companion.

Although Sakura's performance in physical education is not very good, her academic performance is excellent.

Three top-ranked students in their class were assigned to the same captain, causing several people to doubt the fairness of the team division.

However, Naruto has become accustomed to this. There are no rules for dividing ninja classes. In the end, it is all decided by the Third Hokage.

From the time he could remember until now, Naruto had already experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature.

I know that beneath the seemingly bright and beautiful appearance of Konohagakure, there is actually a deep darkness lurking.

After arriving at the training ground, Naruto and Sasuke greeted Kakashi.

Unlike before, Kakashi was more serious this time. He first glanced at Naruto and Sasuke, and said seriously: "Nice to meet you. I am Kakashi, a jonin of Konoha. Please introduce yourselves first."

Hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke showed their suspicion, but still introduced themselves obediently.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like to eat ramen. My dream is to be recognized by everyone and become the Hokage of the village. I hate those who think they are right."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and then said:

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don't have much of a hobby. My dream is to be stronger than the Hokage and kill my brother Uchiha Itachi."

After hearing Naruto and Sasuke's self-introductions, Sakura said:

"My name is Sakura. I have many things I like. I dream of finding someone I like and getting married. I hate people who don't know the importance of things."

After listening to Sakura's self-introduction, Kakashi nodded.

He already knew the information about Naruto and Sasuke, and knew that his mission was to protect his teacher's children and the Uchiha orphans. However, Sakura's situation was a little too normal.

Is it really a good idea to put a girl from an ordinary family into such a team?

Or did the Third Hokage deliberately assign a girl to Team 7 so that Naruto and Sasuke could quickly become stronger due to jealousy?
In other classes, this method might be somewhat effective.

But are Naruto and Sasuke normal people? Third generation, are you sure these two kids will be jealous of each other?

After the self-introduction session, Kakashi took out the bell as usual. When he was about to explain the rules of grabbing the bell, Naruto and Sasuke said:
"Teacher Kakashi, please don't snatch the bell. You should know our strength."

Kakashi couldn't help but frowned, and said to Naruto and Sasuke: "I know your strength, but snatching bells is a tradition in the village. Can you respect me as the leader?"

"It seems that I must teach you a lesson today to let you know the importance of respecting teachers."

After hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke looked at Kakashi.

They just didn't want to waste time on this, but they didn't expect to make teacher Kakashi angry. However, they were just about to compete with Kakashi to test the results of their training.

After signing the Seal of Opposition, Naruto and Sasuke attacked Kakashi together.

Unlike the original time and space, Kakashi didn't dare to set up any rules about standing still and giving up one hand and one foot. When he saw Naruto and Sasuke rushing over, he immediately launched a defense.

"Spiral pills!"

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

As Naruto and Sasuke formed hand seals, the Rasengan and the Great Fireball Technique suddenly condensed and flew towards Kakashi.

Kakashi is not a physical skills superman, nor is he a ninja from the Hyuga clan, so he cannot resist ninjutsu with his physical body.

After feeling the power of the Rasengan and the high temperature of the fireball, Kakashi immediately began to dodge. After dodging two ninjutsu by turning sideways, Naruto and Sasuke took the opportunity to launch an attack again.

They attacked Kakashi with physical skills, one in front and one behind.

Kakashi did not dare to be careless. After blocking Naruto's frontal attack, he turned around and punched Sasuke. Sasuke, who was hit by Kakashi's full force, retreated more than ten meters.

Sasuke struggled to get up, but his expression didn't change much.

He clenched his fists and grabbed the steel wire that bound Kakashi, wanting to use the sharp steel wire to cut Kakashi in half.

With a bang, Kakashi was cut in half.

This scene was seen by Naruto and Sasuke, as well as Sakura.

As a Genin who had just graduated from the Ninja School, Sakura had never seen such a bloody and cruel scene. Her body was shaking violently and she couldn't even hold the kunai in her hand.

I just stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Naruto and Sasuke didn't react much. After seeing Kakashi being cut in half, one of them sensed the surrounding chakra while the other opened his Sharingan.

After they looked around and still couldn't find Kakashi, they hurriedly said, "Kakashi-sensei, stop hiding. This level of battle is nothing to you."

Soon, Kakashi walked out of the bushes, looked at Naruto and Sasuke and said, "You found me after all. Did I think I could fool you twice with this trick?"

"Kakashi-sensei, don't underestimate us. The same jutsu can't work against Uchiha a second time. This is the power of the Sharingan."

Sasuke sneered and rushed towards Kakashi with a kunai.

In Sasuke's opinion, this time they can finally defeat Kakashi. Only by defeating Kakashi can he deal with Uchiha Itachi.

Kakashi stood still, took off his eye mask, cast the Sharingan illusion, and said, "Sasuke, there is more than one person who can master the Sharingan. I also have the Sharingan."

Sasuke fell to the ground after being hit by the Sharingan illusion.

Kakashi didn't pay much attention to Sasuke. He formed seals with his hands, and a flash of lightning emerged from his palms, making a series of bird calls. He then smashed it towards the back without looking back.

With a flash of lightning, Naruto was hit hard on the ground.

After dealing with Naruto, Kakashi looked at the last person, Sakura, and without much effort he made Sakura lose her ability to fight.
