Since Obito had come along, and there was plenty of time, Sara led the three of them to stroll around Roran.
Sara's current popularity in Roran was very high. Everywhere they went, there were citizens who warmly greeted her and asked after her well-being.
However, Kakashi became alert, "Is it really okay to do this?"
Obito smiled and said, "Afraid of implicating Minato-sensei?"
Kakashi nodded.
According to Konoha's intel, although they had previously carried out missions in Roran, due to their memories being sealed, they should not be familiar with this place.
Especially their relationship with Sara shouldn't be so close.
But now, they were traveling with Sara, blatantly walking down the main streets.
If such intel were gathered by Konoha, it would inevitably lead to suspicion about whether Minato-sensei's mission report had any cover-ups.
Obito, however, smiled slightly and looked around, "Kakashi, up till now, haven't you realized a problem?"
Kakashi was stunned, "What problem?"
Obito said slowly, "Here, besides us, there are no other shinobi."
Kakashi unconsciously recalled.
Then realized that what Obito said was true.
Indeed, from beginning to end, he hadn't sensed any ninja presence.
If this were before the Third Great War, it would be normal.
Across the entire shinobi world, the number of shinobi wasn't actually that high. Many cities didn't have ninja presence.
For example, Roran before had also been like this.
But ever since Sara became the Purple-robed Dragon King, this situation became abnormal.
A strong person of this level. How could the villages not take it seriously? Sending elite shinobi squads like theirs to investigate would be normal.
Roran should have been gradually infiltrated by spy operatives.
At this moment, Sara spoke, radiating strong confidence, "Actually, in the beginning, there were indeed many ninja trying to infiltrate through strange means, but they were either killed by me, or driven away."
"So gradually, there are not many ninja who would come here anymore."
"At least in Roran, no one can escape my sensing."
Kakashi was very surprised, 'Sara not only is strong herself, but her sensory abilities are also this advanced?'
Obito explained, "Actually, it's nothing surprising. The entire Roran is powered by Sara, using her chakra. Naturally, within the range of her chakra, her perception spreads instantly as well."
"Even I, the moment I stepped into Roran, Sara could sense me."
Kakashi immediately had no more doubts.
Even Obito, with his ghost-like infiltration skills, could be noticed, then not even a mosquito could fly in undetected here.
Beside them, Rin became curious and couldn't help asking, "Queen Sara, have you never considered letting your citizens become shinobi?"
"That way, Roran would have more self-defense abilities, right?"
Sara shook her head, "The more I interact with you all, the more I understand, having too much power is not necessarily a good thing. The stronger the power, the easier it is to pour out the evil in one's heart."
"Shinobi is not a good profession; it breeds many disasters."
"Roran is fine staying as it used to be. No ninja, no excessive conflicts. Unlike the Land of Rain, though it's small, it's in constant war."
Obito agreed, "That's why I think the shinobi system brought great destruction to the world. It's just that now, chakra has already spread, and the method to refine chakra is very common. I can only try my best to guide this power in a good direction."
"Sara's approach is right. If one hasn't touched this thing, it's better to avoid it."
Sara nodded, then sighed, "But if I hadn't become the Dragon Vein's Jinchūriki, whether Roran could even still exist now is uncertain."
"Maybe, just like the future Naruto spoke of, it would become a wasteland."
"Power does have its advantages. Without power, you can only hand over your fate to others."
Obito said, "Yeah, that's the contradiction. When one side has overwhelming power and the other side has no means to counter it, they can only become lambs to be slaughtered."
"Once that door is opened, chasing power becomes inevitable."
"And that door was opened the moment Ōtsutsuki Kaguya descended. So we can only keep walking down this road. In the future, since we cannot discard this power, then we can only…", Obito paused here, looked at the others, and gave a mysterious smile.
Rin lightly punched Obito with her small fist, "Obito, don't always speak half a sentence. It's really frustrating."
Obito scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, Rin. I'm just used to talking that way."
He continued, "We can only figure out a way to make everyone become like Kabuto."
Rin asked curiously.
"Kabuto? That war orphan adopted by Miss Nono?"
"He's very pitiful. I heard from Miss Nono that Kabuto doesn't remember who his parents are, feels confused about everything, and doesn't even understand the meaning of his own existence."
Obito nodded, "Yes. But this boy later, through certain means, became a super Kage-level powerhouse like I mentioned. He's the only case I know of where a civilian transformed into a dragon."
Off to the side, Kakashi wasn't too pleased, "Guy is a civilian too."
Obito looked at Kakashi and asked a question.
"Kakashi, be honest. You've been training with Guy for a while now. Do you think you have a chance of keeping up with him in the future? I mean purely in terms of taijutsu."
Kakashi shivered all over.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he said, "Guy just invested all his talent into taijutsu. I've tried many of his training methods but can't reach his level."
"Even if I can endure it mentally, the body has limits."
Obito nodded, "Kakashi, in the eyes of ordinary people, you're a genius they can't catch up to. Even I once thought I couldn't keep up with you."
"Yet even someone as outstanding as you can't reach Guy's level. Let alone ordinary people."
"So, Kabuto's path, though dangerous, is more accessible."
Kakashi grew curious, "What path did Kabuto take?"
Obito looked toward the sky, "In theory, the best bloodline in the whole shinobi world is on the moon."
"Our bloodlines, compared to that, all have flaws."
"If there are flaws, we must think of ways to make up for them. Just like how I transplanted Hashirama cells to overcome the side effects of the Sharingan."
"Kabuto, in a way, is doing this kind of thing. If given time, he might really be able to fill all the flaws."
Kakashi suddenly understood, "It's the bloodline transplant you once mentioned. So you're placing your hopes on Kabuto, no wonder you value him so much."
Obito nodded, then suddenly voiced a long-held concern, "Ōtsutsuki Kaguya initiated Infinite Tsukuyomi to create White Zetsu for one of the reasons. Because of an unknown enemy she would face in the future."
"Have you ever thought about this: what kind of enemy would make Kaguya take it so seriously?"
"And such an enemy, are they targeting Kaguya, or are they targeting this shinobi world?"
