Tsunade, you're really drunk!

Qianye pointed out Jiraiya's purpose in one sentence, and Jiraiya realized that the young man in front of him was not simple.

You have to know that he just returned to the village yesterday afternoon, and he decided to make the test tonight only after being entrusted by the old man last night. He didn't expect that Qian Ye could see through his plan at a glance.

It seems that tonight's attempt is doomed to fail, and I don't know how to explain it to the old man then.

Jiraiya walked into the yard and at first glance the entire backyard looked like it was newly built. There was only an old tree in the middle of the courtyard, which seemed somewhat out of tune with the other things. The leaves had fallen, and the trunk was covered with scars from burning flames. The remaining dead branches and willows were gray and somewhat dilapidated.

The two men walked to the dead tree and sat on two stone blocks.

Jiraiya spoke first.

"I didn't expect you to know why I came, but I'm very curious, how did you know? Could it be that I just came here on a whim to see you, the Uchiha genius?"

Qianye shook his head silently.

"Master Jiraiya, you have been traveling outside the village for many years. Now you suddenly come back to the village at such a critical moment. Apart from your master, the Hokage, who has the right to call you back, I think no one else has the right to do so."

Jiraiya then realized that as long as he was the one coming, his purpose had already been exposed.

Seeing that Qianye had resolved his doubts, Jiraiya didn't want to beat around the bush and spoke frankly.

"Since you already know the purpose of my night visit, how do you plan to respond? Are you going to directly tell us the real purpose of the Uchiha or just perfunctorily deal with it?"

"But if you want to just get away with it, I'm afraid you Uchiha won't be able to get past the old man."

Jiraiya stared at Qianye, trying to find a flaw on his face.

"What is our Uchiha's purpose? What purpose can we Uchiha have? We just want to live well in the village. Could it be that we would betray the village?"

Qianye said this with a smile.

But Jiraiya didn't buy it.

"Although on the surface it seems that your Uchiha clan is indeed much better than in the past, this old man is still worried about your Uchiha clan's movements. After all, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion six years ago, the Nine-Tails' Sharingan was clearly visible that night."

Having said this, the atmosphere had begun to gradually become tense, and Qianye's face also showed displeasure.

"The Nine-Tails Rebellion was not done by the Uchiha of Konoha. You were not in the village that night, so you might not know that we were being watched closely by the Root sent by the Hokage Assistant. We couldn't even participate in the rescue work."

"Wait, roots?"

Jiraiya didn't know about this. The old man never told him about this, nor did he say what the Uchiha did that night. He just said that it was the Uchiha who controlled the Nine-Tails that night.

But why didn't the Root join the fight against the Nine-Tails at this time, but instead surrounded the Uchiha clan?

For a moment, Jiraiya could not see the truth behind it, and felt that he was caught in a huge vortex of mystery.

"The old man didn't tell me about the Root, so please tell me the truth. If this matter has nothing to do with the Uchiha clan, then I will definitely clear your grievances to the old man."

The air that had originally condensed into blocks seemed to melt again, and the atmosphere improved.

Qianye pointed to the dead tree beside him.

“See this dead tree?”

"What happened to this dead tree?"

Qianye reached out and touched the gray-black wounds on the tree.

"Don't you think that compared to this yard, this tree has not kept up with the changes? Isn't it time for it to leave this yard?"

Listening to Qianye's words, Jiraiya began to think, and suddenly frowned.

"You want the old man to step down? Why? Although the old man is a little wary of you Uchiha clan, it's not to the point where you Uchiha have to force him to step down!"

Jiraiya was a little excited. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was his master no matter what. Even though he didn't do a very good job, he was still a qualified Hokage.

If he was forced to abdicate by the Uchiha, it would mean that this history would be digested by the future ninja world. After all, the situation of the five villages maintaining their power has been maintained until now, and no "Kage" has ever been forced to abdicate.

Qianye pointed to the ground under the tree trunk again.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen is pretty competent as the Hokage, but what about Danzo? What about the Root?"

Jiraiya was getting a little impatient. He felt that Qianye was answering questions irrelevantly and was constantly trying to change the subject and making guesses.

"I'm asking about the information you Uchiha knew during the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Stop changing the subject, Qianye. My patience is limited!"

Qianye looked helpless.

"I'm not playing tricks on you, but since you don't understand what I'm saying, I'll just say it directly. But whether you believe it or not is up to you to decide."

"That night the Nine-Tails suddenly appeared in the village, and the head of the Fugaku clan led the Uchiha clan to support them, but Danzo suddenly brought the Root and asked the Uchiha clan to stay in the clan territory and not to go out."

"I don't know how Danzo managed to mobilize almost all the ninjas of the Root to surround the Uchiha clan in such a short time. You know, at that time, our clan leader only organized a few dozen ninjas."

"Everything seemed to have been planned in advance. The Kyuubi and the Root moved almost in sync."

"This! This is the situation of the Uchiha clan that night!"

Qianye's words kept echoing in Jiraiya's ears like a whisper.

Naruto was born, the man in the tiger-striped mask controlled the Nine-Tails and it went berserk, the Nine-Tails had the Sharingan in its pupil, the Root took action, the Uchiha clan was trapped in their clan territory, the Minato couple died, and the old man was seriously injured.

The message that Minato left for him through Gninja, the old man's statement, and what Qianye just said, these events seem to be unrelated, but one thing after another seems to be connected, and everything is becoming more and more reasonable.

Even plausible like a coincidence.

As his thoughts progressed step by step, Jiraiya finally deduced the answer, but this answer was even more terrifying than the Nine-Tails Rebellion itself, and Jiraiya couldn't believe it.

Looking at the trembling of Jiraiya's pupils and the terrified expression on his face, Qianye's goal was achieved step by step. His previous pulling was just to arouse Jiraiya's emotions and let Jiraiya deduce the answer step by step, just like Kakashi at the beginning.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Qianye decided that it was time to tell the last and most crucial piece of information. This would be the last straw that broke the camel's back and would make Jiraiya completely collapse.

"By the way, Kakashi also visited me once at night a few days ago, but was interrupted by an uninvited guest."

Jiraiya shook his head, still immersed in his own thoughts. He had already guessed the mastermind behind the scenes, but all this still lacked crucial evidence.

He wanted to know the truth about that night, but he was also afraid of the truth itself.

"This has nothing to do with Kakashi."

"It has nothing to do with Kakashi, of course. I wanted to talk about the uninvited guest."

Only then did Jiraiya start to pay attention to what Qianye said again.

"Who is that unexpected guest?"

"He, your disciple Minato's student, is called Uchiha Obito."

"Wait? Uchiha Obito? Didn't he die in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge during the Third Shinobi World War? Wasn't Obito the one who gave Kakashi the Sharingan?"

Qianye raised his hand, signaling to Jiraiya not to interrupt him and let him continue listening.

"Your memory is correct, but Obito is not dead. He showed up that night wearing a tiger mask and wanted to attack Kakashi and me. We discovered his identity, but he escaped using the space-time eye technique."

"Space-time pupil technique!"

Jiraiya grasped the key information this time because it was the same information that Minato left for him.

The man in the tiger-striped mask possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan and knows time-space ninjutsu. All the information matches.

But why did Obito become the murderer of the Nine-Tails Rebellion? He couldn't think of a reason. This was different from the answer he had originally deduced. He didn't know the specific reason, but if the murderer was just Obito, the situation was not as terrible as he had originally guessed, and it was acceptable.

Jiraiya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"At this time, Obito not only possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, but also learned Wood Release."

!!!

"Jiraiya broke through the defense and successfully replicated the Myobokusan Senjutsu."

The corners of Qianye's mouth curved up imperceptibly again. As expected, what could be replicated from Jiraiya was definitely the immortal technique.

Wood escape!

This key word struck Jiraiya's mind like a bolt from the blue. The guess that had frightened him turned into reality, and it was even more terrifying.

Jiraiya later learned that the human experiment of Wood Release was jointly carried out by the Root and Orochimaru, but only one infant was successful, and he is now in the Anbu directly under the Hokage, codenamed "A".

"I know. Danzo used the powerful vitality of Wood Release to save Obito and made him master Wood Release and even open the Mangekyō Sharingan. He then directed and staged the Nine-Tails Rebellion in order to kill Minato and the old man, and suppress the Uchiha clan so that Danzo could become the Hokage himself!"

Jiraiya directly stated the answer in his mind.

After listening to this, Qianye somewhat admired Jiraiya's imagination. However, there was no problem with his understanding. However, some things still needed to be clarified.

Then he told Jiraiya about how Obito wanted to take revenge on Konoha because of Rin's death.

Only then did Jiraiya understand the truth.

"Qianye, you are right. Obito may not have been saved by Danzo, but he must have colluded with Danzo in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Danzo is definitely not unrelated!"
