Yuzuru's words made Obito and Jiraiya freeze at the same time. They asked, "Yuzuru, did you figure out something else?"
Yuzuru took a sip of tea and did not keep them in suspense.
"Koji is going out of his way to have us protect Kawaki. That means there is another force searching for Kawaki."
"That force is so powerful that even someone as strong as Koji has no way to resist them."
"And according to Jiraiya's information, Kawaki is nothing more than an ordinary farm boy."
"No background, no money... nothing at all."
"Even if he lives, at most, he would only take revenge on his alcoholic father in the future."
"So the purpose of that force, one that even Koji fears, definitely isn't to kill Kawaki."
Hearing this, Obito and Jiraiya both nodded.
That did seem to be the case.
Jiraiya could not help asking, "Then what exactly is their goal?"
Yuzuru slowly said, "Right now, there is only one possibility. To them... what matters is Kawaki himself."
"And since Kawaki has no other attached value, Kawaki himself is equivalent to... Kawaki's body."
"That mysterious force wants to obtain Kawaki's body!"
After listening to Yuzuru's analysis, Jiraiya and Obito's eyes lit up, and admiration appeared on their faces.
Jiraiya sighed and said, "Yuzuru, the fact that you have achieved what you have today is definitely not simply because of your overwhelming strength."
"I... am not as good as you."
Obito also looked at him with worship. "Big Brother Yuzuru, I originally thought I was already impressive enough, but I never expected there to still be such a big gap between us."
"It's bad enough that you're handsome, but your strength and mind are both this amazing too..."
"I'm starting to feel a little crushed."
To analyze such important information from just a few words was truly incredible.
Facing Obito and Jiraiya's praise, Yuzuru waved his hand. "There is also Koji..."
"A few days ago, I had Itachi make a trip to Snow Capital. He obtained some information about Kara there."
"According to that intelligence, Kara has a genius scientist comparable to Orochimaru, someone capable of modifying the human body and granting people all sorts of powerful abilities."
"If Koji is an artificial human created from your cells, Jiraiya, then everything makes sense."
Hearing that this matter might be connected to Kara, Obito asked, "Big Brother Yuzuru, then what should we do? Do you need me to send people to protect Kawaki?"
Yuzuru shook his head. "We definitely have to protect him, but only from the shadows."
"Kara's strength cannot be underestimated. I want to use Kawaki to draw them out and wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
Obito nodded. "I understand."
"All right. I'll leave Kawaki's matter to you from here."
After Yuzuru finished speaking, he reached out and patted Kawaki on the shoulder. "Live well in Konoha from now on. If you need anything, go find the Hokage."
After saying that, Yuzuru activated Kamui and disappeared from the spot.
A strange light flickered in Kawaki's eyes.
From childhood until now, this was the first time he had ever met someone who treated him so gently.

"So this is Konoha?"
"It really lives up to its reputation. The people living here are truly blessed."
"It's just that the smiles on these people's faces are disgusting. I really want to kill them all."
Walking through the streets of Konoha, a woman wearing a black cloak, with curly yellow hair, spoke in a frivolous tone.
Beside her, a woman with red pupils and a ring of white cloth wrapped around her forehead reminded her, "Delta, don't forget our objective."
"Before we find the Vessel, don't alert the enemy."
Hearing this, Delta snorted coldly. "Oga, I don't need you telling me how to do my job."
"If you run your mouth again, I'll kill you right now."
Hearing Delta's threat, Oga closed her mouth.
If one had to say who among Kara's Inners had the most violent temper, then it would definitely be Delta.
She did not even take the leader, Jigen, seriously.
Oga remembered that before a certain mission, Delta had directly kicked over Jigen's dining table while he was eating.
"Wait. Look up ahead. Isn't that Kawaki?"
Oga suddenly spoke.
Delta's eyes lit up, and an excited expression appeared on her face. "That's right. It seems Konoha doesn't know Kawaki's identity. They actually let him wander around the street."
"Oga, control someone and lure him somewhere deserted."
"All right."
Oga nodded, and a flash of red light passed through her eyes.
The next second, a man beside her quickly walked in Kawaki's direction.
Bang!
The man bumped into Kawaki and snapped viciously, "Brat, do you not have eyes?"
Kawaki said coldly, "You were the one who bumped into me."
"Screw you! Believe it or not, I'll kill you."
"Hand over your money!"
The man swiftly tore the money pouch from Kawaki's waist and quickly ran into an alley.
Kawaki snorted coldly and immediately chased after him.
But when he entered the alley, the man had already fainted on the ground.
Two women blocked him inside, one in front and one behind.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Delta and Oga, Kawaki frowned and asked.
Delta smiled. "Little brother, come with us."
"I don't know you."
Seeing that Kawaki was preparing to leave, the smile on Delta's face vanished instantly.
She said coldly, "If you won't come willingly, then you'll have to suffer a little."
After Delta finished speaking, she rushed straight toward Kawaki.
This was Konoha. She had to deal with him as quickly as possible.
But before she could reach Kawaki, two black-eyed men appeared beside him.
"Hide for a while."
One of the men spoke to Kawaki, then lightly patted him. Kawaki disappeared from the spot.
'Were we discovered in advance?'
Oga felt somewhat nervous.
Judging from the situation in front of her, Konoha had definitely prepared ahead of time.
An angry expression appeared on Delta's face.
"What the hell are you two? You ruined my mission... I'm definitely going to kill you!"
Hearing this, one of the men smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Shisui Uchiha."
"Beside me is my younger brother, Itachi Uchiha."
Itachi turned around and set his gaze on Oga.
"This woman seems capable of controlling people's minds. I'll deal with her."
Shisui nodded. "Then I'll take this woman."
Hearing their conversation, Delta gritted her teeth and roared, "You two bastards, don't get too full of yourselves!"
