Chapter 42: Inducing Kakashi, The White Fang Incident Is A Conspiracy?

In the room where Kakashi stayed, the day's practice guidance for Naruto had ended. Compared to being tossed about by Sasuke before, Kakashi felt very relaxed now. He opened the door and his pupils instantly contracted. Indoors, a person was sitting by the window. This person wore a tiger-striped mask and had long hair like a hedgehog.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Kakashi asked, revealing his Sharingan and ready to fight, with a kunai in hand. That person, of course, was Sasuke. He had used the Shadow Clone and Transformation Technique to contact Kakashi.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm," Sasuke said with a chuckle. "I'm here to tell you something you should be interested in."

"Sorry, I'm not interested," Kakashi replied.

The three-hook jade in Kakashi's left eye froze, and he suddenly activated an illusion. He planned to capture the intruder first, then use the Sharingan to interrogate him.

"Tsk, that's really impolite," commented Sasuke, seemingly unaffected by the illusion. Seeing this, Kakashi became even more vigilant.

"I suggest you sit down and listen. What I want to tell you is about your father, Konoha's White Fang," Sasuke said in a leisurely tone.

Father? Kakashi's eyes widened considerably. How could Sasuke know anything about his father? Even a Sasuke from another world couldn't possibly know!

"Don't you want to ask about the Uchiha Genocide? How did it involve Kakashi's father?" questioned Uzumaki Naruto.

"Idiot, if a mysterious person asked that kind of question, how could Kakashi answer?" replied Uchiha Sasuke.

"It seems Sasuke is planning to somehow get Mr. Kakashi to talk by mentioning Konoha's White Fang," observed Nara Shikamaru.

"Hehe! I probably guessed his train of thought, Mr. Sarutobi, you are in trouble again," chuckled Orochimaru.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, frowning and unable to understand Sasuke's thoughts.

Kakashi closed the door and remained vigilant. "What are you going to say? You can say it now."

"No hurry, just relax," Sasuke responded with ease. He stood up, poured himself a cup of tea, and offered one to Kakashi as well. Kakashi's eyelids twitched.

"Where should I start?" Sasuke tapped his temple. "Konoha's White Fang abandoned a mission to save his teammates, which brought heavy losses to the village. Public opinion turned against him, and White Fang ended up committing suicide. Is that correct?"

"This is something the whole ninja world knows. What do you want to say?" Kakashi asked with an unchanged expression.

"Let's look at another clue known to the whole ninja world. In which year did the incident involving Konoha's White Fang happen? According to the Konoha calendar, how many years has it been?" Sasuke inquired with a chuckle.

Kakashi responded, a bit confused. "Konoha 41, what happened?"

He was seven years old that year and couldn't remember many details clearly, but at least he remembered the year.

"So, here's the problem," Sasuke said, looking straight into Kakashi's eyes.

Kakashi felt inexplicably stared at. "Konoha is 41 years old, what's wrong?"

"Alas!" Sasuke sighed, appearing distressed. "Sometimes I really have some doubts about the average IQ of the ninja world. I didn't expect the famous Copy Ninja Kakashi to be so stupid."

Kakashi's forehead is throbbing with veins.

Madness?

He has been called a genius since he was a child, and this is the first time he has heard someone comment on him like that!

"Why, are you very unconvinced?" Sasuke raised his head and glanced at Kakashi. "Then let me remind you again, in what year did the third Ninja World War start?"

Kakashi immediately replied, "Konoha 43 years, after Sunagakure's Third Kazekage disappeared."

What's wrong with this?

Is it related to his father's affairs?

"Well, forget it, I still don't have expectations for your IQ." Sasuke began to say to himself, "Two years before the start of the third Ninja World War, Konoha's White Fang carried out a mission that caused heavy losses to Konoha."

Hearing this, Kakashi frowned.

Yes!

At that time, the Third Ninja World War was far from beginning, and it was still an era of peace!

What kind of mission did my father perform, and he had to give up the mission to save his teammates, and caused heavy losses to Konoha!

Seeing Kakashi start to be puzzled, Sasuke smiled inwardly and began to deceive himself with half-truths:

"I checked before. The Third Kazekage suddenly announced something at about the same time as the White Fang incident, saying that he repelled the invasion of Konoha's White Fang and thwarted Konoha's evil conspiracy."

"Of course, I haven't found out about why Konoha's White Fang invaded and foiled Konoha's conspiracy."

This passage is half true and false.

The mission performed by Konoha's White Fang was indeed related to the Kingdom of Wind. Sasuke had read about it in a book, but that's all.

The rest is all made up by him, anyway, Mr. Kakashi has no way to verify with Sunagakure.

Sasuke continued:

"From the time comparison, we can probably conclude that this should refer to the mission that Konoha's White Fang gave up."

"But if Konoha really suffered heavy losses, there is no reason for Sand Shinobi not to announce it, unless... Sand Shinobi can't figure out what the Konoha's White Fang invasion is for!"

"The goal of the Konoha's White Fang mission, the so-called thing that caused heavy damage to Konoha Village, may not exist at all!"

"Wonderful!" Orochimaru couldn't help applauding.

Uzumaki Naruto: "I don't understand what they're talking about!"

Inuzuka tooth: "Me too..."

Rock Lee: "Which of Sasuke's words is true and which is false..."

Onoki: "Uchiha Sasuke's key point is one sentence: the so-called major loss of Konoha does not exist at all!"

Fourth Raikage: "The White Fang incident is probably a well-designed conspiracy, Third Hokage, it really belongs to you!"

Orochimaru: "The rest of the Third Kazekage and Sunagakure's things are all Sasuke casually told Kakashi. He is not from Sunagakure, how could he know these things."

Senju Tobirama: "Heh, the way he talks leads people to think he's from Sunagakure, cunning Uchiha kid!"

Uzumaki Naruto: "Why on earth is Sasuke making these things up? I still don't understand!"

Nara Shikamaru: "Probably to arouse Kakashi-sensei's suspicion."

Orochimaru: "Kakashi has already begun to doubt, hehe, after this step is done, the rest will be easy."
