752 Chapter – 745 Real Akatsuki?

Outside the Forest of Death

When the audience saw the young children risking their lives to save Uchiha Sasuke from the 'Akatsuki', they all got emotional and cheered for the kid's bravery.

Mikoto said with a smile, "Sasuke has good friends."

Itachi nodded, "Yes… I am happy that Sasuke is able to make good friends, something that I was never able to do while I was in the Academy."

Even the stern Fugaku showed a rare smile. Sasuke overcame his fear and risked his life to save his teammates, and then his friends risked their lives to save Sasuke… this is something that touched Fugaku's heart.

Whether as Sasuke's father or as the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku is extremely happy to see such a scene… these actions of innocent and ignorant young children prove that the Uchiha Clan is truly part of the Konoha village.

On the other side, the Hiashi and Hizashi brothers also smiled as they discussed something with helpless expressions on their faces.

Hinata's and Neji's act of putting their companion's lives over their own is something the elders of the Hyuga Clan wouldn't be very happy with and will definitely fuss over, however, here and now, in the presence of so many Konoha villagers, shinobi, and the five Kage, their actions are very honorable, something that earned the respect and support of the entire audience.

Similar to the Uchiha Clan, and the Hyuga Clan, the parents, and guardians of other children also felt proud of the actions of their children. Although they are also very angry that their children did something so dangerous, however, they are also happy and proud of their children and happily boast to the surrounding crowd.

The only ones who weren't smiling and sighing instead were the patriarchs of the Ino-Shika-Cho as they saw their children still limiting themselves to their own territory and not willing to move to other zones.

"Sigh, we can't blame our children… they are doing what the mission required them to do." Muttered Inoichi helplessly.

…

On the Five Kage's side

Admiring the companionship of the young children of Konoha, Yondaime Mizukage praised Sandaime Hokage in a sincere tone, "The education system of Konoha… it's really impressive."

Sandaime chuckled, "Every Konoha shinobi feels the same for his companion, we in Konoha always emphasized the value of companionship, this is the philosophy passed down from the time of Shodaime Hokage-sama." Although he said this with a smile on his face, internally, Sandaime was really glad that the children didn't do anything to embarrass the village's reputation, and thought to himself, 'I guess I have to praise Hyuga Kuroto for the kid's performance.'

"Huh… yet Konoha played the most role in creating the Akatsuki… it's ironic isn't it?" muttered Yondaime Raikage in a sarcastic tone.

Sandaime chose to ignore Raikage's comment and focused on the show before him.

…

Anbu Monitoring Room

At the same time as the assessment was progressing in the Forest of Death, a Konoha Anbu keeping an eye on all the activities in the Forest of Death suddenly pointed at one of the screens and exclaimed, "Kuroto-sama… look there… are those two also part of your plan?"

Feeling everyone's eyes on him, Kuroto shook his head, "No… other than Asuma and the others, I didn't send anyone else… meaning… those two are really."

"Member of Akatsuki Organization!" everyone muttered the bitter truth.

Obito and Zetsu didn't realize that their presence had been noticed by Konoha, the reason being that the camera that captured their presence was hidden inside a beehive. Perhaps, Obito and Zetsu didn't expect that such an inconspicuous place could also hide a surveillance camera so they mistakenly let down their guard and mistakenly allowed Konoha to notice them.

Staring at the two people who are really members of the terrorist organization Akatsuki, Jiraiya couldn't help but tighten his fists, "Damn it… are they targeting Konoha again? Iwagakure suffered not long ago, will it be Konoha's turn this time?"

Tsunade folded her hands under her massive bust, and asked with a thoughtful expression, "The masked one is the one who claims to be Uchiha Madara with the Mangekyou Sharingan that allows him to use Space-Time Jutsu, while the other one is the strange creature that can travel through the earth, right?"

The Anbu on the side nodded, "Yes, Tsunade-sama!"

"Hmm, both of them are very good at mobility… are they here to scout the situation in advance?" muttered Jiraiya doubtfully.

Someone asked from the side, "What if they are here for the Akatsuki member that we captured not long ago?"

Tsunade muttered, "It's possible… if that's their objective then it's bound to fail, that person is already dead." Then added after a pause, "Moreover, if that was their objective, they wouldn't be wasting their time in the Forest of Death."

Jiraiya nodded, "Yes… the fact that they are in the Forest of Death, means they are more interested in something else… and we all know what that is!"

As Tsunade and Jiraiya concluded the purpose of the two Akatsuki members, Kakashi looked at Obito on the screen with a complicated expression.

If not for the possibility of risking the entire Konoha and the shinobi world, Kakashi would have immediately teleported in front of Obito. But right now, they have to worry about the safety of Naruto and Fu.

The sudden appearance of two real members of Akatsuki really threatened all the kids in the Forest of Death, especially Naruto and Fu, so everyone, including Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi, Shisui, Yui, Shizune, Izumi as well as all the Anbu members in the monitoring hall looked at Kuroto.

This entire assessment was planned by Kuroto, he is the person responsible for all the things concerning the assessment, therefore, even Jiraiya, and Tsunade have to consider his opinion. Although they can overrule Kuroto's authority and issue orders considering the emergency situation, however, they chose not to do so immediately, they wanted to listen to Kuroto's opinion on the matter. Who knows, there is always a possibility that Kuroto may provide a good solution that will help them resolve the situation with the least losses.

Under everyone's gaze, Kuroto looked at Obito and Zetsu on the monitor with a thoughtful expression, 'Obito and Zetsu? What the hell are these two doing in the Forest of Death at such a critical time?'
