"That's all the family member information currently available."
"And I like my ninja so much that I won't give them to anyone."
Kitahara Hitoshi stopped and gave the Anbu his message.
But what he said made Black Zetsu feel a little uneasy.
No more... cough... Moonlight Gale, played by Black Zetsu, pretended to cough a couple of times.
It should be said that Black Zetsu is worthy of being the best actor. Even when playing Moonlight Gale, he stepped into the role perfectly, reproducing the short life and coughing fits of the real Moonlight Gale.
That's how he fooled Uchiha Madara, and then deceived Uchiha Obito after that.
Great acting.
But.
"You asked for too much information."
"It was also too targeted."
"So it's easy to become suspicious."
"It was fine this time, but don't do it again," Kitahara Hitoshi said.
Saying this, Kitahara Hitoshi patted the shoulder of Moonlight Gale, the role currently played by Black Zetsu.
Moonlight Gale, played by Black Zetsu, looked at Kitahara Hitoshi in astonishment, but Kitahara Hitoshi only left him with his back.
But… this move made Black Zetsu react…
Could it be that his identity had been exposed?
Kitahara Hitoshi knew it was a fake, knew it wasn't Moonlight Gale, and had deliberately leaked information about the Shinobi, about Kaguya, to him.
Could it be?
Black Zetsu realized he had been exposed.
At this moment, inside the group chat.
Children and Grandchildren Chat Group
Big Pillar Hanhan: Kakashi, do you know this Anbu?
Kakashi: Yes. That's Moonlight Gale. His strength isn't that high, but he's good at shield penetration, so he was promoted to Special Jōnin under the Third Hokage's program.
Big Pillar Hanhan: Special Jōnin? What's that?
Namikaze Minato: Thinking back, I don't recall that rank existing in my time.
Senju Tobirama: I've never heard of it either.
Second Hokage Senju Tobirama used to be a model for all ninja villages. Systems like the ninja school, Chūnin exams, and rank classifications were all copied from his ideas.
So he served as the standard.
Kakashi: Special Jōnin… how to explain…
Kakashi: Like Sarutobi Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, who is a Konoha Jōnin. I'm an Elite Jōnin. Guy is also an Elite Jōnin. Elite Jōnin are the elite among Jōnin.
Kakashi: But there's a unique category known as Special Jōnin.
Kakashi: It refers to a ninja who's especially talented in a specific area, so they're promoted and given Jōnin-level treatment.
Big Pillar Hanhan: That makes sense.
Big Pillar Hanhan: Eh…
However, after hearing the explanation, Hashirama sighed.
Cowardly As a Mouse Ohnogi: Lord Hashirama, why are you sighing?
Ohnogi joined the discussion.
Because… Konoha's ninjas are being exposed and broadcasted live.
For Iwagakure and Ohnogi, this was an opportunity to observe and evaluate the other villages.
Big Pillar Hanhan: Eh…
Tobirama's Record: Hashirama is sighing because Konoha is now worried about the number and quality of its ninjas.
Senju Tobirama: Eh…
And Tobirama sighed too.
Cowardly As a Mouse Ohnogi: Then why did you sigh, Lord Second Hokage?
Senju Tobirama: I'm sighing because Danzo is beyond saving. Sarutobi does nothing while the village deteriorates in this disgraceful way.
That statement left everyone speechless.
Because.
The emergence of the Special Jōnin rank indicated a lowering of standards for Jōnin.
It also implied… Konoha lacked talent.
So they had to bend the rules.
Kakashi: But what did Kitahara-kun mean by those words?
Namikaze Minato: Could there be something wrong with Moonlight Gale's identity?
Kakashi: Yes, Minato-sensei, you noticed it too.
Kakashi: I'm also wondering if something's off with Moonlight Gale. He asked too many targeted questions. Could he have been bribed by Danzo?
Duiko Black Zetsu:
Big Pillar Hanhan: Mr. Black Zetsu, what's wrong?
Duiko Black Zetsu: Hmm… nothing.
Duiko Black Zetsu:
What else could Black Zetsu do?
He had to divide his attention.
For him, this group chat was toxic. Because of two sentences from Kitahara Hitoshi, his flawless acting was now being doubted.
If they sent Kakashi to find Moonlight Gale now, his cover would be blown.
Duiko Black Zetsu: By the way…
Black Zetsu decided to divert attention, to steer the topic elsewhere.
Takako Black Zetsu: Kitahara Hitoshi was able to discover the Sharingan in Danzo's right hand so quickly, why?
Big Pillar Hanhan: Why...
Senju Tobirama: Isn't it obvious from analysis?
Senju Tobirama: Brother, I told you to carefully study the system's description.
Senju Tobirama: Read the system's explanation yourself.
Big Pillar Hanhan: Eh?
Senju Tobirama: Look, Mizukage already acted personally earlier. Doesn't that say everything?
Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei: Hehe…
Senju Tobirama: I wasn't praising you.
Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei: Alright, Second Mizukage.
Senju Tobirama: Don't call me that!
Cowardly As a Mouse Ohnogi:
Ohnogi thought Mizukage was too daring. Didn't everyone know Tobirama was furious over Danzo and the Sharingan?
Yet Mizukage dared joke directly with the Second Hokage.
What gave her the confidence?
She used to be as cautious as Ohnogi.
The Big Pillar is Silly:
On the other hand, Hashirama quickly quoted the system's description.
This group connects past, present, and future, ignoring time and space.
Big Pillar Hanhan: So, Kitahara Hitoshi may be from the future?
Senju Tobirama: Seems like you're not completely dumb, Anija.
Senju Tobirama: Even if he's not from the future, he has potential. The system gave him a very high rating.
Senju Tobirama: What does that mean?
Senju Tobirama: Even if the foundation collapses or has already collapsed, as long as you have Kitahara Hitoshi, it can still be rebuilt.
Cowardly As a Mouse Ohnogi:
Cowardly As a Mouse Ohnogi: Exactly.
Ohnogi understood.
That's why Terumi Mei was confident.
Because the one she stood behind wasn't the Second Hokage — it was Kitahara Hitoshi.
She had already secured a good relationship with Kitahara Hitoshi.
So she dared to speak up. Behind her was Kitahara Hitoshi.
In other words… Terumi Mei saw it from the beginning. In the past, the ninja world looked up to Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. Now, they look at Kitahara Hitoshi.
Indeed, with power like his, no one could compete.
Not even the Third Raikage, or the current Fourth Raikage.
Dabaa.
Lying—trough.
And Ohnogi just realized… that Mizukage had snatched him away!
Namikaze Minato: Is Kitahara-kun from the future?
Namikaze Minato: I agree with that.
Namikaze Minato: If I had to follow the Third Hokage's direction, I can't imagine the future for my son Naruto.
Namikaze Minato: Even if he achieved his dream and became Hokage… there must have been countless hardships.
Namikaze Minato: So now, I say Kitahara-kun is my Naruto's future.
Big Pillar Hanhan: That's it...
Senju Tobirama: Eh!
Senju Tobirama: Sarutobi is beyond saving. Danzo is the same. And they've been advisors for so long… Koharu and Homura aren't any better.
Senju Tobirama: It's time to hand things over to the younger generation.
Senju Tobirama: Kakashi, what would you think if I promoted you to Sixth Hokage?
Huh? Me?
Kakashi was stunned.
Senju Tobirama: I want Kitahara Hitos
