Three days later, only Asuma Sarutobi and Might Guy were left, and all other visible Konoha jonin returned to Konoha Village.

Only when this period is not very tense can so many jonin be mobilized to work for one thing. Such situations will become less and less common in the future. After the Akatsuki organization begins formal operations, it is basically impossible to have an S-level mission that gathers three jonin.

After Kakashi came back, he did not ask Mizuki about the Sharingan again. He probably wanted to use his own connections to get some information about A.

However, this matter involves too many secrets. Unless the three elders confess or Tsunade tells it in person, there will be no results.

Perhaps Tsunade and Jiraiya didn't know much, only that there was another inside story and that Uchiha Itachi was a spy sent by Konoha.

Sure enough, after a few days, Kakashi gave up the idea of ​​solving the problem on his own.

…

"Give up?"

Kakashi, slumped in his office chair, was not in a good mood!

Mizuki's hateful smile made Kakashi even more annoyed.

"yes!"

Kakashi crossed his fingers, propped up his chin, and sighed with drooping eyes.

"I thought that after many years of experience in the Anbu, I had completely accepted all the darkness in this village, but I didn't expect that there are still things that I can't do anything about."

"If you become Hokage, all these problems will be solved."

"That's why I'm not suitable for that position. I can't bear the pressure. It's been like this before, and it won't get any better in the future!"

Kakashi was probably referring to the suicide of his father, Hatake Sakumo. Time has passed, the incident has long passed, and the thorn in the heart has been removed, but the scars caused have not completely disappeared, and indirectly led to the tragedy of Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin.

"I'm very curious, Mizuki. The Uchiha family was destroyed. Everyone is keeping this a secret. And I can see that your attitude towards Uchiha Itachi doesn't seem to be particularly hostile!"

"Where do I begin?"

"During the Chunin Exams at the beginning of last year, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame came to the village. You didn't try your best to capture them, did you? You didn't realize it at the time, but you realized later that if you had been more serious, they wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."

"These are all your guesses. I didn't say anything."

Ignoring Mizuki's denial, Kakashi continued.

"If you connect the dots, some things are understandable, but this is just too ridiculous."

Previous cognition was completely overturned. The fact that spread throughout the ninja world might actually be a naked deception. No one would easily accept it. If Sasuke knew about it, who knows what would happen!

"Can't we really tell the truth?"

"Not the right time, Kakashi."

This is by no means a trivial matter, the impact is too huge.

Uchiha Itachi has a Mangekyō Sharingan in his hand that can be used at any time, which contains the most powerful illusion - Kotoamatsukami. It is hard to say what the consequences will be in the end, but if you are not careful, it may lead to catastrophic consequences.

"Until Sasuke obtains the Mangekyō Sharingan like you, he is not qualified to know the whole story!"

"Can a cursed family only be qualified to bear its reality if it obtains the cursed ominous power?"

Kakashi understood what Mizuki meant. This was not only an exhortation but also a warning. Knowing too much too early was definitely not a good thing for a ninja.

"I'm glad you understand, Kakashi. I'm not being perfunctory. You and I are both outsiders to the Uchiha family. The Uchiha family is not extinct yet, and the story of the Sharingan is far from over!"

"If that day really comes, will you tell the truth?"

Mizuki chuckled.

"Even if I didn't tell him, Sasuke would know. I'm sure the secret would have been exposed by then."

“I see!”

Kakashi nodded.

"There are rumors that you have awakened a bloodline limit that allows you to see into the future. Is this true?"

"You believe it?"

Mizuki blinked.

"Since you are so curious, I will mercifully tell you a prophecy. You will become the Sixth Hokage. Hurry up and make some preparations, so as not to be caught off guard!"

"Stop joking."

Kakashi quickly waved his hands away, thinking Mizuki was just joking.

"Forget it if you don't believe me."

Mizuki stood up.

"Don't worry too much about this matter. Sasuke will naturally find the parties who know the truth to understand it. We outsiders should not interfere casually. Let Sasuke put aside the matter of A for the time being. This matter is very difficult and has nothing to do with his goal of killing Uchiha Itachi."

"He is already a jonin. There are some things that you no longer need to do for him, Kakashi. If he knows, someone will tell him. If he doesn't know yet, it means he is not qualified to know. If you want to change the status quo, become stronger!"

Although Mizuki's words were a bit unpleasant, Kakashi had to admit that Mizuki was right.

Ninjas who know too much and have no ability to keep secrets always die the fastest. Although the secret technique of reading minds is rare, there are still many illusions that can know the secrets of others. Mizuki has been pretending to be a grandson for a long time, so no one dares to say anything to him. He is full of mysteries, so no one dares to do anything to him.

…

Nanga Shrine, the former secret gathering place of the Uchiha Clan.

In fact, this place is not secret, but because of the strength of the Uchiha family, no one dared to spy on the truth inside.

Ever since the Uchiha Clan disappeared, almost all the valuable things inside were swept away, leaving only the stone tablet written by the legendary Six Paths Sage.

Uchiha Sasuke had also come here to check several times, but even with Sasuke's three-magatama Sharingan, he still could not see any secrets of this ancient stone tablet.

"Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Sasuke held an oil lamp in his right hand and stared at the stone tablet in the dim light for a long time, but still gained nothing.

The remaining information about the Uchiha family and the details about the Mangekyō Sharingan are all gone.

As for how to open it, I have no idea.

No, to be exact, Sasuke knew a way to...

"Killing relatives?"

Cursed bloodline, only those who are in it can understand the sorrow of it.

In Sasuke's opinion, Uchiha Itachi used this method to gain powerful strength and tested his so-called magnanimity.

Sasuke wasn't going to do that.

The friendship between his comrades was only part of the reason why he couldn't bear to do it. What really made Sasuke give up this idea was the hatred deep in his bones. He was unwilling to follow the man's wishes, and instead planned to take revenge in his own way.
