Chapter 26: Overthrow the Corrupt Konoha Kakashi  

"What you said, do you have any evidence?" 

Kakashi's tone was a little hesitant. He didn't know what kind of mood he was in at this moment. 

He hoped that the other party could produce solid evidence to prove that what he said was true, but he was also afraid that if there was evidence in front of him, he would have to face those cruel facts. 

"This is your Konoha Village's internal affairs; how could I have evidence?" 

Sasuke chuckled, as if he saw through Kakashi's inner entanglement and struggle. 

Hearing Sasuke say this, Kakashi felt a little relieved, but at the same time, he felt a little disappointed. 

He calmed down and said, "So, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to sow discord between me and Konoha Village?" 

Sasuke looked at Kakashi with disappointment and said, "Please, use your brain! I have told you all the doubts, and now you just need to check them." 

Kakashi frowned and asked doubtfully, "But how do you check them?" 

Sasuke sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Alas, it seems that I really shouldn't have too high expectations for the average IQ of the ninja world." 

He paused and continued, "You might as well think about it from another perspective. If you were the black hand behind the scenes, what would you do most after successfully framing White Fang?" 

Kakashi suppressed his anger, tried to calm himself down, and began to analyze the current situation: "If I am the black hand behind the scenes... If all this is just a carefully planned conspiracy, then the next step is to destroy all the evidence!" 

But what exactly counts as evidence? 

Suddenly, a light flashed in Kakashi's mind. Yes, it's that mission! He thought to himself. If what happened to his father back then was true, then the relevant mission files must still be well preserved, and he would have the opportunity to check them out. 

If his father really caused huge losses to Konoha, then through these files, he could at least find out what the so-called "significant damage" was! 

However, if this is not the case... It means that all this is just a huge conspiracy. 

Sasuke stared at Kakashi, a satisfied look on his face, and nodded, saying, "It seems that you already know how to continue the investigation. Very good. Your IQ has now surpassed the average level of the ninja world." 

The veins on Kakashi's forehead were throbbing violently because of anger. This guy's words are really irritating! 

"I don't think I need to teach you too much about how to conduct an investigation in Konoha Village, right?" 

Sasuke turned to look at Kakashi and said calmly, "...No need, I have my own way." 

Kakashi was frowning and complaining in his heart. Although he is only a guiding Jonin now, he has been in Anbu after all. How could he not have his own methods? 

In addition, when he was in Anbu, he also met many juniors who could speak for him. When the time comes, he would just talk to Tenzan and ask him to help check it out. There shouldn't be too many problems. 

Sasuke seemed to see Kakashi's thoughts and reminded him with a hint of warning in his tone: "Friendly reminder, it's best not to let the Third Hokage know about this matter. You also know what it means to investigate this matter privately. So, it's best to keep a low profile." 

Kakashi's expression became serious, and he nodded solemnly. If his father's death was really a conspiracy, then the person who designed all this—whether it was the Third Hokage or not—definitely knew the truth! 

It is even possible that the Third Hokage was one of the masterminds who designed to kill his father. So, this matter must not be known to the Third Hokage. 

After thinking clearly, Kakashi raised his head, looked at Sasuke sharply, and asked, "What is your purpose in telling me this? It is impossible that you just want to tell me this, right?" 

"Hehe." Sasuke chuckled twice: "You will know my purpose when you find out your own affairs. Hatake Kakashi, I look forward to our next meeting." 

After saying that, Sasuke's body disappeared with a slurp. A shadow clone? Really cautious. 

Knock, knock, knock! 

Soon after the mysterious man left, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door. Kakashi quickly gathered his mind, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened the door. 

It was Sasuke standing outside the door. His eyes were still as firm as before, but there seemed to be a hint of subtle excitement in his expression. 

"Teacher Kakashi, is it convenient now? I knocked on the door several times just now, but you didn't seem to hear it." 

Kakashi was slightly startled, then smiled and said calmly, "It's okay, I was thinking about something else just now, so I didn't hear it." 

However, only he knew that he was in extreme entanglement at the moment. Suddenly receiving such important information made his thoughts abnormally confused. 

On one hand, he was eager to verify the truth of these things; on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel hesitant, eager to find the truth but afraid to face the cruel reality that might appear! 

Sasuke silently observed the tangled expression on Kakashi's face, secretly delighted in his heart. That's right, Kakashi! Continue to investigate the dark side of Konoha Village. In order to overthrow those corrupt Konoha high-level officials, contribute your own strength! 

"Sasuke, what do you want to talk to me about?" Kakashi said after gathering his thoughts. After all, he was now in another place; even if he wanted to investigate, he could only make plans after returning to Konoha Village. 

Sasuke looked at Kakashi's somewhat irritable look and decided to help him divert his attention. So Sasuke pretended to be very interested and said to Kakashi: "Teacher Kakashi, I heard that you seem to have a very powerful lightning ninjutsu, which is said to be able to cut through lightning! I wonder if it is true? I want to learn it." 

Hearing Sasuke's words, Kakashi was slightly startled, and then he understood his intention. He sighed in his heart; this kid is really smart! 

Kakashi smiled and replied, "You should be talking about Raikiri. I do know how to use that ninjutsu. However... this is not an ordinary ninjutsu; its training difficulty is rated as S-level. Sasuke, are you really sure you want to learn such a difficult ninjutsu?" 

Kakashi's tone became serious, and his deep eyes stared at Sasuke tightly, as if he wanted to see through his eyes to understand his true thoughts deep in his heart.
