In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 168 Obito: Rin is still alive?
Just as Kaguya Naoki was deep in thought, the outcry from the Konoha ninja grew louder and louder.

Grief needs to be released.

Anger is the same.

With the Iwagakure and Kumogakure ninjas already defeated, Minato Namikaze, the traitor wearing the Kirigakure headband, naturally became the most obvious target.

"Watergate."

Kushina glanced at Minato with concern as she watched the escalating situation.

Seeing Minato, who had just been cheerful for a moment, lower his head again, Kushina clenched her fists and looked at the Hidden Mist ninja in front of her.

If I weren't so badly injured, I would definitely teach those guys a lesson!
"She's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and now she's wearing the Kirigakure headband. Could Kirigakure be her..."

The sound wasn't loud; only those nearby could hear it, but it quickly spread throughout the group.

Kushina, Kaguya Naoki.

The Konoha ninjas looked at Kaguya Naoki and Kushina with suspicion.

Not to mention Kushina was furious and wished she could take action against these shameless scoundrels.

Even Kaguya Naoki frowned slightly.

As expected of a Konoha ninja, they always manage to deliberately ignore the facts.

Even if he pointed to the Nine-Tails' pupil with the Sharingan right now, the Konoha ninja would probably think it was Shisui who did it.

But aren't they afraid that my helping Konoha is a sinister plot, and that I might then turn against them?
These guys.

They really have an extraordinary way of thinking. I never understood why these people were so hostile towards the Jinchūriki in the village. Weren't they afraid that the Jinchūriki would go to extremes and attack them?
Now he understood that most of these people were idiots who could only see what was in front of them.

How can this be explained?
After all, they needed to recruit the Konoha ninja.

No.

Explanation?

Naoki Kaguya raised his eyes, revealing a chilling killing intent.

The hardest thing in the world is persuading others.

Not to mention that this person has a deep-seated prejudice against you.

What he wanted to do was to completely eliminate their courage to even doubt themselves.

He is Naoki Kaguya.

You never need to persuade the enemy.

Bones gathered in his hands, and murderous intent solidified on his face.

A gentle breeze is blowing.

Naoki Kaguya took two steps forward, and anyone could feel his chilling killing intent.

The earlier clamor of questions has disappeared.

His previously furious expression froze.

The Konoha ninja instantly learned to shut up.

This skill was something that Konoha had not been able to learn for decades after its founding.

Decades ago, only Konoha ninjas stood in high positions and questioned others with pride.

Now, just by standing there, Kaguya Naoki brought everything to a standstill.

"I don't care what you think."

"I don't care what you do in the future."

"I only need you to do one thing."

"shut up."

The Konoha ninja were somewhat indignant and looked up, ready to attack.

But his body's instincts made him choose to stop.

That's Naoki Kaguya.

Not long ago, on the battlefield of World War III, Konoha tasted defeat for the first time, and for the first time, as a defeated nation, it had to cede territory and pay reparations.

Not long after, on this very night, when Konoha was on the verge of destruction.

Naoki Kaguya raised his hand and eliminated the greatest danger to Konoha.

Regardless of whether the Nine-Tails is controlled by Kirigakure.

Judging solely from the combat power displayed in that single strike, no one in Konoha could match it.

Everyone was silent.

Silence signifies acquiescence.

It represents a form of submission.

Naoki Kaguya suddenly felt utterly bored.

The greatest force in the world that stood against him has been utterly defeated.

Obito Uchiha also revealed a disdainful smile.

These guys from Konoha, who are usually so arrogant and consider themselves the number one nation, how come they've become like this today?

If the Konoha ninjas had been more assertive in their actions, Obito Uchiha might have considered a different approach and postponed his attack.

We'll consider other options after Kaguya Naoki's plans to seize Konoha fail.

Now, there's no other choice.

The Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly.

In the blink of an eye, a vortex appeared.

Shortly afterward, it suddenly appeared in front of Kaguya Naoki.

Wood Release: Chaos in Hell!

Several large trees covered in thorns burst open in an instant.

This attack, powerful enough to destroy countless ninjas, is a sure-fire killing move when the lightning strikes before anyone can react.

Obito Uchiha held the same view.

Behind the mask was a bloodthirsty, crazed face.

Kaguya Naoki, die!
"After all this talk, don't get close, Sharingan."

Naoki Kaguya gave a helpless smirk as countless white bones exploded from various parts of his body.

Dang Dang Dang!
Wood Release: Wood Release was reduced to fragments.

It seemed that the mysterious attacker would be torn apart by the bones in the next moment.

Whoosh!
The vortex disappears.

Obito Uchiha disappeared from the spot.

Naoki Kaguya slowly opened his Byakugan, looking somewhat listless.

If it were the dual Kamui, Obito Uchiha would still be a ninja worth fighting seriously.

But now, with only one Mangekyou Sharingan, even Susanoo cannot be successfully activated.

He's really not someone worth his best efforts to deal with.

There are fluctuations.

In an instant, he was unable to make a move.

This is my goal, Naoki Kaguya!
Obito Uchiha casually deflected the kunai, and a Sharingan was reflected in Kushina's pupil. He was about to use this eye to release the Nine-Tails again!
But he was fast, and Kaguya Naoki was even faster!

Those were the kunai used by the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even though Obito Uchiha blocked them, Naoki Kaguya was still able to appear beside Kushina immediately.

A pale gray skeleton slid out from the sleeve, and Obito, who was in the middle of using his Sharingan CD, was about to be scratched by the skeleton.

Countless Wood Release techniques exploded from his body like a madman!

Clearly, Obito Uchiha was aware of the reputation of Kaguya Naoki's attack, and even though he was using a White Zetsu's body, he still dared not be careless.

What's going on?!
Just as Obito Uchiha breathed a slight sigh of relief, he was shocked to discover that all the Wood Release techniques had turned to ashes beneath his bones.

Oops!

Breaking into a cold sweat.

Fortunately.

In the end, we were a step too late!
Obito Uchiha confidently plunged into the vortex, along with a kunai wrapped with a piece of paper.

It looks like the Flying Thunder God!
but.

It's probably impossible for them to lock down my space using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

If you can get in.

Obito Uchiha smirked as he looked at the dense array of explosive tags around him.

Naoki Kaguya, I'll show you what death truly means!

Obito Uchiha looked at the kunai warily, and when he found no sign of teleportation, he sighed with slight regret.

He got up and prepared to put away the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Who knows, it might come in handy in the future?
wrong.

This is not the kunai of the Flying Thunder God.

Obito Uchiha peeled off the note from the kunai and found that although it was just a series of barely visible characters, it was still legible.

Lin!?!
Two lines of tears slid down, almost staining the note.

Obito Uchiha hurriedly placed the note aside and wiped away the tears from his eyes.

Once his emotions had calmed down, he looked at the note again.

Naoki Kaguya, is this really the truth?

Or are you lying to me?

Obito gritted his teeth and looked at it again, trying to find a flaw, but he couldn't find one.

It is indeed possible!

During the process of transporting the Three-Tails to turn Rin into a Jinchūriki, Kaguya Naoki discovered various anomalies.

When some ninjas disregarded their superiors' authority and eagerly tried to infuse the Three-Tails into Rin's body, Kaguya Naoki became wary. Moreover, he already possessed the Byakugan at that time.

Naoki Kaguya quickly activated his Byakugan and immediately noticed the strange expression on the face of the ninja who had tried to infuse the Three-Tails into Rin's body.

Considering that although these ninjas are very strange, they are still Kirigakure ninjas after all.

Naoki Kaguya decides to hide Rin away for a short time.

If the real intention is to attack Konoha, it's not too late to release it then. If there are any complications, then Nohara Rin, who is at the center of those complications, is in his hands and won't cause any trouble.

Upon seeing this, Obito Uchiha couldn't help but curse.

This guy.

They still wanted to attack Lin.

but.

Obito Uchiha couldn't help but admit that Naoki Kaguya was calm and intelligent.

It's amazing that he could think of so much even in that situation, thus saving Lin's life.

wrong.

It cannot be confirmed yet.

How did he manage to hide it from White Zetsu and Madara Uchiha?

As White Zetsu's boss, although he insulted and mocked White Zetsu every day, he knew just how important this employee was and how capable he was.

So, he was lying to me, wasn't he?

Obito Uchiha clenched his fist.

If he uses Lin's name, I will tear him to pieces.

Obito Uchiha continued reading.

Naoki Kaguya noticed a peculiar technique that allowed these people to seamlessly blend into the Kirigakure ranks.

At that time, Kaguya Naoki had the idea of ​​reporting the matter and planned to let the other ninjas from Kirigakure handle it.

After all, he had trusted the higher-ups of Kirigakure back then.

But before he could put it into action, the ninjas made their move first, which gave him the opportunity to save Rin!

He used the Dance of the Dry Fern.

It completely obscured all eyes.

So that's what it was!
That makes sense.

Obito Uchiha relaxed his brow.

He had just gained terrifying power, but he was defeated by such a technique!
He certainly knew how terrifying that technique was, and naturally understood why Kaguya Naoki was able to hide Rin.

Surprisingly, they all make sense and there are no loopholes.

Obito Uchiha was momentarily stunned.

So, did Naoki Kaguya really save Rin?
So, should Project Eye of the Moon continue?

He looked at the last sentence.

Come visit Wuyin sometime, and I'll take you to see Lin.

And Kakashi too.

I think you'll eventually understand what to do.

No.

Kakashi?
Obito Uchiha stood up, somewhat incredulous.

Why did Kakashi join Kirigakure?

How could he possibly betray the village? That doesn't make sense!
No.

Perhaps it really is possible.

If it were for my sake.

Obito Uchiha quickly figured out all the key points.

Kakashi the Idiot!
Really.

Really.

Obito Uchiha's eyes were filled with tears.

I'm going to see him.

I'm going to Wuyin.

Obito Uchiha made up his mind.

What if Naoki Kaguya is telling the truth?

Of course, if it's fake, then I'll kill him!
-
Where's Obito?
Black Zetsu, who was lurking in the jungle and had just watched Obito Uchiha get caught in the vortex, was about to go out and coordinate with him when he suddenly discovered that Obito Uchiha had disappeared.

Was he scared?

Or does he think he's no match for Kaguya Naoki?

It shouldn't be.

That's an Uchiha brat, how could he think he could ever lose?

Black Zetsu pondered for a moment, then stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, there's still the constraint of the Eye of the Moon Project!

Obito Uchiha still needed to rely on the Eye of the Moon Plan to revive Rin, whom he cherished dearly; he couldn't possibly betray her.

Let's think about something more meaningful.

For example, Kakashi.

Black Zetsu's eyes turned cold.

He saw it clearly: if Obito Uchiha didn't collect all the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would have a hard time fighting against Naoki Kaguya.

We must gather them as soon as possible, and then we'll find a way to persuade Obito when he returns.

The focus, naturally, is on Lin?
A vortex appeared before him, and Black Zetsu immediately concealed all his cold and sinister aura.

"Obito, why are you back already? Aren't you going to continue testing me?"

"It's not necessary anymore."

Obito Uchiha was getting impatient.

"No, you haven't shown the price you're willing to pay to make the two villages obey your orders."

"so what?"

Obito Uchiha was very impatient.

"I have more important things to do now."

"Wait, Obito, no."

Black Zetsu felt utterly exhausted, wondering how he had ended up with such a brainless idiot.

He had just been confidently declaring that he would subjugate the two great ninja villages by showing off his muscles.

Now say you have more important things to do.

Is there anything more important than Project Eye of the Moon?

Or perhaps Obito Uchiha felt he couldn't defeat Naoki Kaguya and wanted to find a way to save face.

Black Zetsu felt he had found the truth.

He immediately stepped forward.

“Obito, although you are currently holding your own against Kaguya Naoki, it is still impossible for you to achieve a complete victory.”

Obito instinctively stopped, wanting to refute.

Considering Lin, she has to leave again.

However, Black Zetsu clearly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

"Why don't we take back Kakashi's eyes? With two Mangekyou Sharingan, the whole world can't stand against you."

"No."

Obito Uchiha reacted as if his tail had been stepped on, and he vehemently objected.

"That eye will remain with that idiot for now. I'll get it back eventually, but not now."

"As for fighting against Kaguya Naoki, do you really think I'm not up to it right now?"

Black Zetsu shut his mouth.

Obito Uchiha nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go."

He suddenly stopped speaking.

The note from Naoki Kaguya flashed into his mind.

Why not just hand this over to me directly?
Is it because Kaguya Naoki is on guard against someone?

For example, White Zetsu?
Oh.

He still thought that Madara Uchiha was alive.

That's why
No.

He's not completely dead yet.

Besides the curse mark on my body, there's also Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu is the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's consciousness. If I do anything unusual, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Obito Uchiha began to ponder.

They quickly made up their minds.

We absolutely must not reveal this to Black Zetsu, lest he find out and ruin the whole thing!

It needs to be concealed.

As long as I see Lin, I'll know what choices I should make in the future!
