After Obito's reminder, Kakashi suddenly noticed that several people were hiding in the dark around them, seemingly watching them.
It's just that these people had excellent concealment skills, and since this was Konoha, there wasn't a need to be overly alert, so he didn't notice them at first.
He frowned and said, "Root is watching us. What for?"
Obito thought for a moment, his expression growing darker, "Tch, let's go to Sensei Minato's house and talk."
After speaking, he didn't say another word and led Rin and Kakashi to Minato's doorstep.
The Root members who were following them had no choice but to withdraw.
This place was packed with Anbu responsible for protecting and monitoring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so Root didn't dare approach at all.
Sensing the Root members had left, Obito finally knocked on the Namikaze Minato household's door.
Not long after, Kushina opened the door.
Seeing it was members of Minato's team, she happily welcomed the three inside.
She then introduced the greatly changed environment of her home.
"Obito, I replaced all energy-requiring spots in the house with that chakra conversion device."
"You have no idea how convenient it is. Just input chakra once and it lasts a long time. Plus, I even made a little improvement."
After speaking, Kushina clapped her hands. Suddenly, all the lights around went out. She clapped again, and the lights turned back on.
Rin found this scene quite amazing.
Kushina smiled and explained, "The principle is actually very simple."
"I added an extra seal to each chakra converter. This seal reacts to specific sound waves, cutting off or connecting the chakra energy supply inside the converter."
"This way, I can control the switch with different sounds. Super convenient."
Obito hadn't expected Big Sis Kushina to come up with such novel things.
Actually, the sealing principle of controlling switches was quite simple, he could cast it himself.
But he had never thought of using it this way before.
He couldn't help but praise, "Big Sis, your ideas are amazing. But doing this… haven't those guys who charge all sorts of fees come looking for you?"
Kushina chuckled hearing this, "Of course they came. They even asked where this new energy source came from, trying to dig for intel. But I beat them up."
Obito nodded, 'As expected, the birth of a new energy source will inevitably impact traditional industries. If our chakra energy converters spread, we will definitely clash with those people.'
'Who's backing them? Danzo? Or the Third Hokage? Or maybe even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire?'
Obito suddenly realized that even with all his experience, he didn't really understand the inside story of this.
Or rather, in most ninjas' worldviews, there only seemed to be missions and battles. They lacked understanding of things outside the system.
Thinking about it, Orochimaru really was a weirdo.
At this time, Kushina became curious, "You guys suddenly visiting. Did something happen, or is there some secret you want to share again?"
Because this place was layered with protections, its security even exceeded the Hokage office. So whenever Obito's group encountered something needing private discussion, they'd come here.
Over time, Kushina had gotten used to it.
Obito nodded, a hint of anger appearing on his face, "It's Danzo. He's targeting us."
Kushina didn't react much. Ever since becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she'd often been tailed. She was used to it.
She just asked, "Why?"
Obito said, "Most likely, Danzo found out Rin is a Jinchuriki and started having some thoughts he shouldn't have."
Rin and Kakashi suddenly understood. Indeed, hiding Rin's status as a Jinchuriki wasn't possible. Sensei Minato had reported it before. With Danzo's intelligence gathering ability, anything the Hokage knew, Root would know too.
And once he knew Rin was a Jinchuriki, it wouldn't be surprising for Danzo to start scheming.
Rin asked, "Then Obito, what do you plan to do?"
Obito thought for a while, "He can come after me, but coming after you… that's unforgivable."
"By the looks of it, it's about time to prepare Danzo's curtain call."
"In a bit, I'll go to Akatsuki and have them meet with Hanzo to establish some kind of cooperation. Once Danzo gets wind of that, he won't be able to sit still."
Kakashi's eyes flashed with a bit of killing intent, "Obito, when you kill Danzo, take me with you. If I don't stab him twice, I won't be able to vent the hatred in my heart."
Obito thought about it, 'It isn't a bad idea.'
So he said, "Sure, we'll catch Danzo and put him on trial, and let everyone who has a grudge against him stab him twice."
From the side, Kushina couldn't help but complain, "Hey, brat Obito, isn't it a bit weird to be casually discussing how to kill a Hokage advisor in my house?"
"Danzo may be second only to the Third Hokage in Konoha, and you guys are here debating whether to steam or braise him, don't you think Danzo has any dignity?"
Obito laughed, "Big Sis, your analogy is spot on. Danzo loves putting people on his chopping block, to do whatever he pleases."
"In that case, he should also be ready to put himself on the chopping block one day."
Kushina said, "Count me in on the plan to kill Danzo."
"Even though he didn't directly persecute me, when Uzushiogakure was destroyed, Konoha, as our ally, didn't send a single person to help. It was probably Danzo's doing."
Obito couldn't help shaking his head, 'So many people want to kill Danzo. Come to think of it, why don't I just teleport to Root right now and twist Danzo's head off? I can probably pull it off.'
'But still, something about Danzo just dying like that feels… underwhelming.'
Just then, Namikaze Minato suddenly appeared beside Kushina via Flying Thunder God.
Kushina grumbled a bit, "Minato, I told you not to just teleport home with Flying Thunder God."
She pointed at the door, "Go outside, knock, then come in and say 'I'm home.'"
Minato immediately showed an embarrassed expression and scratched his head, "Ah, I almost forgot."
After that, he obediently walked out, closed the door, knocked again, then opened the door and walked in.
He gently said, "Wife, I'm home."
Kushina immediately walked up to him, a sweet smile on her face, "Husband, welcome home."
This scene left the three youngsters on the side stunned.
Kushina glanced at them and grinned mischievously, "You don't get it, huh? This is called ritual. Married life needs some ritual, then it feels happy."
Obito's mind suddenly lit up. He seemed to grasp something.
'Right. Why does killing Danzo need to be so complicated? Because Danzo has caused so many deaths, so many tragedies.'
'So when it is time to kill him, how can it not be full of ritual?'
Once he figured that out, a bold idea appeared in Obito's mind.
'Since Big Sis Kushina also wants in on this, bringing one or bringing a whole group makes no difference.'
'Why not bring everyone who ever had a grudge against Danzo and… hold a funeral full of ritual for him…'
