Chapter 709 Uncle Snake's Doubts
Konoha Village, Hokage Building, in a temporary meeting room.
Orochimaru, who had just returned to the village, was waiting here to be summoned by the new acting Hokage.
Naturally, his memory was also modified by [Omnipotence]. In that memory, Naruto and Sasuke, who relied on talent and plug-ins to surpass their own scientific and technological limits and won four battles, also became the current Seventh Hokage Uzumaki Jigen.
Therefore, when they knew that the powerful Uzumaki Jigen was defeated by Otsutsuki Sasuke and his men and eventually died in battle.
Uncle Snake was naturally very surprised!
In addition, the village asked for help, and I haven’t been back to see Mitsuki for a long time.
He then hurried back to meet the newly succeeded Eighth Hokage.
As a result, as soon as he came back, he was stopped by his old acquaintance, the former Sixth Hokage Kakashi, who quietly negotiated with him and gave him instructions, saying that the new Hokage, Lord Code, had a radical personality and hoped that Uncle Snake could control his patience and never conflict with the new Hokage.
Uncle Snake, who no longer had many worldly desires, smiled faintly: "Don't worry."
"That guy is Jigen's son anyway. For the sake of my old friend Jiraiya, I won't go toe-to-toe with his apprentice."
"Besides, no matter how bad her personality is, it can't be worse than Tsunade's."
"Compared to this, I am more concerned about what you said about Sarada and Sumire's memory problems."
"You speculate that they are all controlled by illusion?"
Kakashi nodded. Although his memory was also tampered with, his brain and experience, which were comparable to those of Konoha's think tank, were not lost.
As for Sarada and Sumire, these two young flowers, no matter how good their acting skills are, they can't cover up their flaws under Kakashi's deliberate testing, and they have already revealed their flaws.
Kakashi soon learned about their memory abnormalities.
Of course, under the premise that the memories of the entire village and even the whole world have been tampered with, even if Kakashi knew the truth, he would not easily think that it was his own problem. He would only think that Sarada and Sumire’s memories had been tampered with by illusion.
It is more reasonable to say that only two little girls had their memories tampered with than to say that the entire world had their memories tampered with.
Therefore, Kakashi did not make things difficult for Sarada and the other two, and even helped them cover up their "illness" and flaws. After all, he did not want to see Sarada and the other two being captured and tortured by the Konoha Interrogation Department, as Sakura would most likely explode with him if he did that.
Moreover, according to Kakashi's observation of 'Uzumaki Code', once the new Hokage knew about the abnormality of Sarada and the other two, their fate would definitely be terrible!
By then, even if I were the previous Hokage, I might not be able to protect them both.
[While helping Sarada and the other girl cover up the abnormality, find a way to correct their memories as soon as possible]
This is Kakashi's goal at the moment.
In the entire Konoha Village, there are only a handful of people who are even marginally good at illusion and memory, let alone experts. Moreover, most of them are loyal to Konoha Village and may not help conceal the truth.
After much thought, Kakashi decided that Orochimaru was the most suitable person. In terms of both technology and loyalty, he was the most suitable person to consult and confide in.
After all, even if Uncle Snake knew about it, he would only lick his tongue excitedly and secretly study Sarada and the others, and would never shout and report it to Code and others.
Kakashi firmly believed in this.
"I'm not sure if their memories have been tampered with by illusion."
"I checked, and neither of them shows any signs of being controlled by illusions, but their memories are indeed extremely distorted. They even think that Otsutsuki Naruto is the Seventh Hokage. This is too absurd!"
"Except for the memory being tampered with, I can't think of any other possibility..."
Kakashi responded truthfully, expressing his confusion.
He had tried many times to break the illusion of Sarada and the other person, but unfortunately it was all ineffective.
"It can tamper with memory for a long time and it cannot be removed. This is not something that ordinary illusions can do." Uncle Snake's eyes sparkled and he was already interested.
"They both have seen Otsutsuki Sasuke. That guy possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Maybe..."
"You have also transplanted the Sharingan, to the limit of the Sharingan. Even the illusion of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan can only control the target for a certain period of time, and it will be unlocked by others. Isn't it?"
Snake looked at Kakashi with a smile, no one knew more about Sharingan and illusion than him!
"But there is actually an illusion that can do this!"
"You mean [Otsutenjin]?"
"Correct!"
"As far as I know, one of Shisui's two Mangekyō has been destroyed by Itachi, and the other has been sealed by Danzo. Neither can be used."
"I'm just guessing. So I hope to get your help and verification to determine the status of Sarada and the other two, and find a way to correct their memories..."
Kakashi is not stubborn. What he needs is to find the truth and solve the problem instead of arguing with Orochimaru.
In addition, even after becoming the Hokage, Kakashi was still somewhat wary of Snake in his heart; if there was no one else available, he would not have secretly approached Snake for a private chat.
"Of course, how could I refuse Kakashi-kun's request?"
"It's really interesting that Sarada, the last of the Uchiha bloodline, had her memories tampered with by illusions."
"But have you ever thought about a question?"
"what is the problem?"
"Why did Otsutsuki Sasuke insist on tampering with their memories? They were just two Genin, and he should have killed them at will. Even if they were controlled, what could they do? And he deliberately twisted the memories into such an outrageous one... What was his purpose?"
"You mean, there's another story behind this? Is there a secret behind the raid on the hospital? Sarada and the others saw the truth they shouldn't have seen, and their memories were tampered with? Then why didn't Otsutsuki Sasuke just kill them both?"
Communication between smart people is effortless. Snake didn't need to explain in detail, Kakashi understood it immediately and raised many questions.
"These are just my guesses. Maybe Otsutsuki Sasuke has some hidden reason why he can't kill them?"
"A hidden secret? That guy even killed the Seventh Hokage, how could he hold back?"
"That's not necessarily true. For example, do you know where Otsutsuki Sasuke got the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?"
"hiss--!"
Kakashi's heart trembled, and the details that he had ignored due to the influence of omnipotence suddenly came to his mind.
Suddenly, more doubts and speculations arose.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is not something that can be obtained easily. It is understandable that Otsutsuki Sasuke has the Rinnegan, but where does the Sharingan come from?
Think carefully!
"In short, Sarada and the others' memory problems must be related to Otsutsuki Sasuke!"
Kakashi could only be so certain due to the lack of information. After all, both of them only showed memory problems after meeting Otsutsuki Sasuke and Otsutsuki Boruto.
Uncle Snake disagrees with this:
"Being too arbitrary is not a good thing. And there is another more terrible guess. You didn't dare to say it out loud, right?"
"Maybe it's not just their memories that are problematic, but you and I are both being controlled by illusions?"
Kakashi was shocked to hear this.
Even in his opinion, this guess was a little too crazy.
"How is this possible? If there is really something wrong with our memory, then it means that everyone in the village is being controlled? Could it be the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
"The opponent is from the universe, the Otsutsuki clan, who are comparable to gods. Even if it is not the Infinite Tsukuyomi, it is not impossible that they can perform illusion abilities that rival theirs..."
"No, if he really had such a terrifying ability, why didn't he use it earlier? Your speculation is totally unfounded..."
"You want evidence? That's not difficult. I also want to verify something..."
Uncle Snake narrowed his eyes and smiled, he already had a plan in mind.
"Can you verify it?"
"Isn't this easy? Even if all of us have our memories distorted by illusions, those old guys in the Pure Land can't be manipulated. We just need to bring out one or two dead people from the Impure Land and verify their memories with them!"
"hiss……"
Kakashi took another breath.
Although outrageous, Uncle Snake's verification method is indeed very effective, and the cost and risk are controllable.
The key point is that he immediately thought of using the Impure World Reincarnation to verify his memory.
He even doubts his own memory. What a lunatic!
"Don't worry, you don't need to do anything. I will prepare the sacrifice myself, and I will tell you quietly what the result is..."
Uncle Snake patted Kakashi on the shoulder and took the initiative to comfort him.
As a pragmatic scientist, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that his memory is faulty, he will find a way to verify it, just like Asma.
What's more, after returning to Konoha Village, Uncle Snake always felt that something was wrong.
It no longer has the familiar feeling it once had, but instead feels particularly stiff and awkward.
But Uncle Snake just finished speaking.
Two sets of footsteps were heard outside the meeting room. It was Shikamaru who came with the new acting Hokage Uzumaki Code.
...
