Chapter 587: Kakashi's Secret
By using the golden tree to set up the battlefield and cleverly arranging the fight between Madara and Izuna, Ino had, while Madara was in a frenzy, quietly absorbed a portion of his Six Paths power, or what he called the "power of all creation."
Since Madara could awaken the Rinnegan on his own, he naturally had Six Paths power in his body. He had used decades of accumulation to awaken the Rinnegan, so the remaining Six Paths power in his body wasn't much, but it wasn't a small amount either.
After upgrading to the Rinnegan, to further enhance its level, one had to use Six Paths power. The visual power of Shisui or Itachi was no longer effective.
Ino currently had only two and a half ways to obtain Six Paths power. One was the daily output from her own Rinnegan and Kekkei Mōra. Another was the Ten-Tails chakra from the little fox after it fused the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts. The half was the gratuitous gift from kind-hearted people like Madara.
Six Paths power could be considered an energy far superior to chakra and sage jutsu. Infusing it into the body would grant astonishing strength, speed, and constitution. Used on the eyes, Ino felt that, measured by the Six Paths power in her own body, she could probably awaken up to a two-tomoe Rinnegan. However, unless it was a major level-up like three, six, or nine tomoe, simply increasing by one tomoe was not very meaningful. If she used up all her Six Paths power at once and had none left in a life-or-death situation, it would be troublesome.
Ino slowly absorbed Madara's Six Paths power into her body. If chakra was a gas, then Six Paths power was a liquid. The absorption speed was very slow. It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that she completed all the conversion and absorption work. The glittering Six Paths power in her body had increased by about one-tenth at once.
Her Six Paths power had increased, and the enemy's had decreased. Accumulating small victories leads to a great victory. If she did this two more times, Madara would be no match for her.
Ino racked her brain. This time she had summoned Madara's younger brother. Next time, if she wanted to provoke him, who should she summon? Did he have a girlfriend? She would have to ask the Sage of Six Paths or Indra later. How many girlfriends did Madara Uchiha have?
Ino arranged the matters in Rōran and returned to the village with the others.
The matter of Obito could not be put on paper. It needed to be told to Minato Namikaze in person.
The two of them stood on the Hokage Rock, talking in low voices.
Ino roughly recounted the process. "There's a high probability that guy will starve to death in his own dimension. I can't think of any way for him to escape."
Minato sighed heavily. For the matter to end like this was actually very good.
Forgive Obito? He couldn't do it.
But to personally kill this student? He also felt very conflicted.
To just assume he had died at the Kannabi Bridge was the best solution at present.
He held it in and held it in, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Did he say anything at the end?"
Ino recalled. "Those radical words... I don't think it's necessary to repeat them, right? He's already gone mad."
"Tell me."
"...Alright. He blamed you for not saving Rin Nohara in time, and believed you had betrayed his trust."
Ino felt that these words were just plain stupid. Minato was a man, not a god. How could he possibly know that Rin was in danger? To blame him for this was completely unreasonable.
But Obito's way of thinking was different from a normal person's. He believed it was Minato's fault. You didn't save Rin, so you failed in your duty! You betrayed my trust! How could you do this to me?
Even later, during the Nine-Tails' attack, you didn't recognize me in time, you didn't stop me. That's also your fault! It's because of your "indulgence" that I stepped into the abyss step by step and can never turn back.
You can save so many people, why can't you save me? I've become like this today all because of you!
Regardless of whether outsiders understood it or not, this was Obito's twisted logic.
Seeing that Minato was in a bad mood, Ino said softly, "Lord Hokage, I'll take my leave now."
"Mm, thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest."
That night.
Kakashi, who had returned to the village, was generous for a rare change. He and his wife, Hanare, hosted a barbecue and invited several people.
Not only Naruto and Sasuke, Ino, Sakura, and Hinata, but even Neji, Shino, and Karui were on the guest list.
There was nothing to say. Eat!
Halfway through, Sakura suggested playing Truth or Dare.
Everyone readily agreed.
When it was Choji's turn, Sakura glanced at Karui at the side and asked with a smile, "Choji, when do you feel the happiest?"
Choji looked left and right and said with an excited expression, "When I'm watching everyone buy groceries, watching you all cook, and then you invite me to eat!"
Sakura: "..."
As a love-struck person, she couldn't understand Choji's way of thinking at all.
She glanced at Karui, who was smiling, her expression unchanged. She felt that her previous question might have caused trouble and tried to remedy it. "Is there a time when you're even happier?"
Choji answered tentatively, "When I'm watching you all cook, and then you invite me to eat...?"
Sakura covered her forehead. "Just tell me when you're the happiest!"
Choji had a sudden realization and said with a joyful expression, "Eating!"
Hinata covered her mouth, wanting to laugh but feeling too shy to.
Ino pinched her. You little foodie, you're the same. How can you laugh at him!
Soon, the truth was directed at Ino. Sakura carefully worded her question and asked, "Is there anything that can blind your eyes?"
In Sakura's opinion, answers like friendship or love were very appropriate. As long as Ino gave an answer, she could lead the topic to the one hundred and twenty million...
Ino instantly saw through her little trick. She pretended to think for a moment, then answered, "Money. Only money can blind my eyes."
Sakura muttered, "...You're so full of witty remarks."
A certain someone was not ashamed, but proud. "Left home young, returned old, learned a lot of witty remarks. That's right, that's how it is!"
After the barbecue, everyone went home.
Kakashi called Naruto over and, under the pretext of training, had Naruto transfer a large amount of chakra to him.
Naruto had too much chakra. The amount he transferred to Kakashi was not even a drop in the bucket. He forgot about it ten seconds later.
Late at night in Konoha Village.
Kakashi glanced at his sleeping wife, then quietly got out of bed as if he were going to a rendezvous with a lover.
He changed into a full set of ninja gear, with kunai, shuriken, and other ninja tools all placed in the most convenient places. He put on his Konoha ninja headband, then tiptoed out of the room.
He came to a hidden cave in the back mountain. He first drew a sealing formation on the ground, surrounded it with explosive tags, then pulled up his headband, revealing his crimson Sharingan. His left eye spun once, turning into a Mangekyo Sharingan. He used the chakra he had received from Naruto to maintain the Mangekyo's consumption, then, with a strange spatial distortion, he sucked himself entirely into the Kamui dimension.
