46 The Moon

"What's with that expression on your face?" Kakashi suddenly asked, surprised by the rare expression on Satoru's face.

Satoru looked at Kakashi, doubt flickering in his eyes.

"Never mind, let's just wait for him to explore on his own."

Thinking about the indifferent expression on Kakashi's face the day he found out the truth, Satoru also had some expectations.

He smiled slightly, trying to hide his inner emotions. "Ah, since you've already left, I'll follow you and take a look around."

He laughed, trying to hide his true thoughts with a casual tone, "I'm not used to it if you're not around me like a follower."

However, Kakashi wasn't easily fooled; he looked at him suspiciously, trying to read more information from his eyes. "Really?"

He always felt that everything wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Satoru's reaction wasn't normal. Contact over the past two days had told Kakashi that this man had some strange thoughts.

But Satoru didn't care too much; he pulled him and walked out.

"Hey, we're not that close, are we?" Kakashi frowned and resisted, trying to free himself from the grip. However, his struggle was ineffective.

"It's okay." Satoru pulled him away from the gravestone, "Besides, I'm your uncle, respect me."

In the dark and deep underground world, a whirl suddenly appeared in the air, and then the figure of Obito emerged from it.

"Danger! Very dangerous! I almost died!"

Before Obito could stand firmly, White Zetsu detached from him and screamed.

"Silence!" Anger flared in Obito's heart, and he glared at White Zetsu.

He couldn't stand his startled companion and hoped he could get rid of him soon.

"What's happening?" Black Zetsu attached to White Zetsu's body, slowly walking towards the two panicked figures.

"That person! He's in Konoha now!"

White Zetsu shouted in a high-pitched voice, waving his hands in the air, depicting a thrilling scene.

Black Zetsu, long accustomed to the underdeveloped mind of White Zetsu, ignored his hysteria and turned to Obito, waiting for his explanation.

Obito said grimly: "That person... Gojo Satoru, he's in Konoha now."

"I was discovered by him." He said softly, indicating nervousness.

"Gojo Satoru?"

Of course, Black Zetsu knew the name Gojo Satoru. He frowned and looked at him in confusion, "How did you meet him? This isn't part of your plan."

"Besides, with your abilities, even if you face Gojo Satoru, he shouldn't be able to find you as long as you don't appear." Black Zetsu's tone showed confidence in Kamui.

But when faced with Black Zetsu's question, Obito chose to remain silent.

White Zetsu said in a high voice: "It's because Obito saw Kakashi worshiping Rin's grave and rushed out!"

Obito turned and stared sharply at him: "If you say one more word, believe it or not, I'll bury you forever!"

When White Zetsu heard Obito's threatening words, he immediately flinched, then hid behind Black Zetsu and shouted loudly: "Obito is going to kill people!"

Black Zetsu ignored their quarrel; he looked at Obito and said seriously: "Obito, you should know that now you walk in the world as Lord Madara, and many things don't support your appearance."

"Madara-sama's plan cannot be delayed in any way."

"Of course, I know Madara's plan well." Obito suddenly turned around, his Sharingan staring at Black Zetsu, "I know what I need to do myself, I don't need you to tell me what to do!"

After saying that, he activated Kamui, and his body slowly disappeared from its place.

Seeing Obito's disappearing figure, Black Zetsu's face turned dark: "This person is becoming more unbearable now."

"Yes, Obito is very arrogant now." White Zetsu echoed from the side, seeming dissatisfied with Obito's behavior.

"But Madara-sama's plan still depends on him, so let's tolerate this person for now."

Konoha.

The arrival of the new Fourth Hokage filled the entire Konoha with joy and celebration.

As night fell, the lights in the village illuminated the night brightly.

In the Fourth Hokage's house, at the dining table, Jiraiya, Kushina, Satoru, and Kakashi sat together.

In the kitchen, Minato wore an apron and busily prepared dinner. His figure was busy in front of the steaming stove.

Tonight was an unforgettable moment for Minato and the others.

He took the last plate and gently placed it on the table. Then he took off his apron, revealing clean and neat clothes underneath.

He looked around, finding a suitable position, and sat down.

Satoru looked at Minato with surprise in his voice: "I didn't expect the junior brother to be able to cook."

Minato heard this, smiled faintly, and answered humbly: "It's normal."

Following Minato's urging, everyone gathered around the dining table, ready to enjoy dinner.

For a moment, the room was filled with laughter, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Soon after, everyone finished dinner, and Kakashi had already left earlier.

Kushina entered the room.

At this point, only three people remained at the table.

"Is the Hokage that lazy?" Satoru leaned on the table and slowly cleaned his teeth with a toothpick, with a slightly mocking tone in his voice.

Minato smiled gently and replied, "Because today is the first day in office. The Third Hokage is still dealing with the last affairs. It is estimated that starting tomorrow, I will have to sit in the office for a long time."

Immediately after, he continued, "Also, I will lead the formation of an alliance with Amegakure tomorrow."

"I'm sure we will reach an agreement."

At this moment, Jiraiya walked to the window, staring at the moon in the sky, and sighed: "The moon tonight is very round."

"The moon?" Satoru followed Jiraiya's gaze to the bright moon in the sky.

The bright moon hung in the night sky, emitting gentle moonlight and giving a mysterious atmosphere throughout the night.

At this moment, Satoru suddenly said something confusing: "Do you believe there are people on the moon?"
