Naruto World
Hatake Residence
Late at night, in the dead of silence, a single eye suddenly opened.
After repeatedly confirming there was no surveillance around, Kakashi clicked on the 'Reward' that only he could see.
[Choose any character from this world to converse with for thirty minutes (Note: All past, present, and future characters are available)]
The night was eerily quiet; even the screen that covered the sky had faded into the heavens, leaving no trace.
Kakashi pondered repeatedly but still chose not to select his father.
The screen seemed to have some kind of restriction; some things he wanted to say directly in the group would be automatically censored. Perhaps this was the reason his reward existed.
Otherwise, if one could converse at any time, the myriad worlds would fall into chaos.
"I choose, Second Hokage-sama, Senju Tobirama."
He wanted to ask, to ask what existence truly was, to ask whether the village was more important or his comrades, to ask Second Hokage-sama if his father was truly a... good-for-nothing who brought loss to the village.
Instantly, the entire space was sealed, and no one from the outside could observe.
A golden light swirled, and within it, a tall, imposing white-haired figure frowned. However, in a moment, he received the information.
"Hatake Kakashi, you are a child of the Hatake clan, very good. But what is this inherently evil aura about you?"
Senju Tobirama's sharp eyes stared directly at Kakashi. Kakashi instantly forgot the questions he had wanted to ask. The living Second Hokage-sama... no matter how many times he looked at the Hokage rock carvings, it was less than one ten-thousandth of the shock of facing him directly.
Kakashi immediately knelt on one knee and recounted everything about the Sharingan.
"...Those eyes bring you more harm than good," after hearing everything, Senju Tobirama crossed his arms. He didn't say much, but his expression still showed some displeasure.
Kakashi nodded, not denying it. He was famous because of this eye, but also restricted by it, but this eye was... "Speak, what do you want to ask?" Senju Tobirama waved his hand, telling him to get back to the point.
"Yes!"
"Huff..." Kakashi took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and recounted his father's story from an objective, even a villager's perspective.
"Second Hokage-sama, my father... no, Hatake Sakumo, was he a person who harmed the village's interests?" Kakashi's voice was low, even trembling as he spoke.
Senju Tobirama listened. He didn't answer, only frowned deeply, his aura gradually becoming agitated.
"The pillar of Konoha, failed a mission, chose his comrades, public opinion soared... suicide..."
"Boy! I ask you, from then until now, has the 'Monkey' always been Hokage?!" Senju Tobirama shouted.
"Yes!" Kakashi was startled, almost not realizing who the 'Monkey' was.
"...Heh heh, was it during the Hokage election at that time?" Senju Tobirama asked expressionlessly.
"...Yes."
"...I understand, young man. Your father did harm the village's interests, but he always upheld the Will of Fire. He is a hero!" Senju Tobirama said in a deep voice.
Hatake Sakumo died due to politics, died because the 'Monkey' stood by indifferently, died because of some unclean individuals.
Why did the news of a failed secret mission spread to the public? Why was it precisely at the time of the Hokage competition?
Why did the 'Monkey' not interfere at all?
"Tell me roughly about the major events in the Ninja World after my death," Senju Tobirama suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, ever since you died... departed..."
Ninja Wars, the village being attacked from front and back, the 'Monkey' fearing war, compromising again and again... one event after another made the veins on Senju Tobirama's forehead bulge, and surging anger spread from his heart.
From being the strongest village, it had fallen to this state after his death?!
What on earth was the 'Monkey' doing?!
Should they be afraid if there were enemies? Why be afraid?! Why fear war?!
"Monkey... why didn't you use all those forbidden jutsu I left behind?! If other hidden villages want war, then give them war! Your weakness will only fuel their arrogance, do you not even understand this?!"
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Mutual Exploding Tag Jutsu, Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!"
"Even if you summon back all the past Hokage, you must not fear war!"
"Harming village comrades, manipulating people's hearts, heh, good, truly too good! Monkey, you are truly too disappointing!!! You fool! Has your mind been clouded by power?!"
Kakashi was already completely bewildered, his dead-fish eyes filled with stupefaction. He only wanted to ask a question; was this something he should be hearing?
If someone insulted the Third Hokage, what would Kakashi do?
Fight to the death!
But what if that person was the Second Hokage?
...Silence?
"Boy! Tell the 'Monkey' for me! You fool, do you think you're the strongest Hokage?!"
"Just tell him exactly that!"
Kakashi: "..."
The conversation time ended just then, the golden light vanished, and Kakashi felt as if he had been in another world... Good news: his father's humiliation seemed to have been washed away.
Bad news: how was he supposed to tell the Third Hokage-sama that the Second Hokage called him a fool? Kakashi collapsed onto his bed, his mind a complex mess... At the same time, in the myriad worlds, as the new video was revealed, cries of anguish echoed.
[Tsugikuni Yoriichi's Wife, Muzan!]
["You, what do you consider life to be?"]
[Aqua: "Who is this 'Tsugikuni Yoriichi' again?! Why, why isn't it me?! I'm a goddess! Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!"]
[Satou Kazuma: "Does an idiot deserve to be chosen? Do you want everyone to watch an idiot perform?! How audacious!"]
[Jibril: "God? As if everyone isn't a god. Is the value of being a god very high?"]
[Natsuki Subaru: "It seems pretty high. At least, the world I'm in right now doesn't seem to have gods."]
[Kumoko (Spider): "I hope I can also be featured and escape this strange situation I'm in now!"]
[Goetia: "Is it a human again who's been chosen? Heh, truly favored darlings."]
[Camazotz: "Camazotz didn't like the last video at all. Change it!"]
[Smoke Mirror: "Yo Old friends, all of you Hello everyone."]
Kukulkan: "Long time no see, Xiao Yan~"
Ito Makoto: "This video seems to be about romance? Is it a sweet love story?"
Aki Tomoya: "Maybe we can even create a globally popular galgame from this! Eriri, Utaha-senpai, Kato! Come help me!"
Kato Megumi: "...No."
