Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 126 See, isn't that why they're in such a hurry?
An eerie silence fell over the laboratory.

All eyes were now focused on Obito Uchiha, who had been watching the drama unfold from the sidelines.

Nagato turned his head and stared intently at Obito Uchiha with a strange look in his eyes.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that whether or not he had Hashirama cells was no longer important.

More than the slight improvement in Wood Release, he now wanted to figure out 'Uchiha Madara's' identity.

If Nagato turned to look at Zetsu, he might get the answer.

The expressions on Black and White Jue's faces were all different.

Black Zetsu stared intently at Izayoi, who was smiling knowingly, his expression blank, lost in thought.

White Zetsu looked astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he hadn't expected that anyone other than them would know Obito Uchiha's true identity.

The only ones unaware that Obito Uchiha was impersonating 'Madara Uchiha', Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, stared at Obito Uchiha in astonishment.

The former exclaimed in surprise, "Besides Sasuke and Itachi, there are still living Uchiha in the ninja world? Does that mean the space-time ninjutsu just now was a unique eye technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Obito Uchiha didn't say anything because he hadn't yet recovered from his shock.

If everyone on the field had the ability to sense emotions, they would have noticed that Obito Uchiha's emotions were fluctuating wildly and his mind was in turmoil.

Fortunately, he was wearing a mask; otherwise, his current expression would have made Nagato even less fearful of him and even disdainful.

Seeing that Obito Uchiha remained silent, Nagato's suspicions deepened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Madara, what's going on? Who is Obito Uchiha?"

Seeing this, Black Zetsu cursed inwardly.

You idiot, how could you panic just because your real name was called? Doesn't that mean you're admitting it?

Where did your composure go when you created the Nine-Tails' chaos and toyed with Kirigakure?

"What?! Uchiha Madara?!"

Orochimaru and Kabuto were both startled by Nagato's address to Obito Uchiha, and instinctively took a few steps back. Orochimaru said incredulously, "Wasn't that Asura of the Shinobi World killed by the First Hokage in the battle at the Valley of the End?"

After speaking, Orochimaru and Kabuto couldn't help but look at Izayoi again, wondering why Izayoi called him Uchiha Obito.

Obito Uchiha finally came to his senses, and then praised in Madara Uchiha's voice, "Not only could you sense the Hashirama cells in my body, but you could also detect my Sharingan? As expected of a descendant of the Senju who awakened the orthodox Wood Release, you are truly excellent... You remind me of Hasi Hot Mom when she was young."

He seemed not to have heard the name Uchiha Obito, nor did he emphasize his identity as Uchiha Madara, but his words left much to the imagination.

clap clap clap...

Just as Nagato and Orochimaru were stunned, Izayoi suddenly clapped his hands loudly.

"Great acting!"

With blue and white arcs of electricity crackling around his palm, Izayoi gave Obito Uchiha a thumbs-up and praised him, "Even Kakashi couldn't resist using Chidori to pierce Rin Nohara's heart after seeing this. I give you a thumbs up!"

boom--

These words were like the fuse that ignited a bomb. Obito Uchiha, who had just calmed down, instantly recalled the image of Kakashi Hatake piercing Rin Nohara's heart.

Just like when he witnessed this scene firsthand, and his two-tomoe Sharingan instantly evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan, his chakra aura erupted from Uchiha Obito almost uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Hei Bai Jue couldn't help but cover his face, thinking to himself that he was doomed.

Nagato's lips curled up slightly, as if a huge boulder had been lifted from his heart, and he felt a great sense of relief.

Whether or not we can obtain intercolumnar cells today is no longer important.

He has gained the greatest reward; all his worries are gone.

At this moment, in Nagato's eyes, Obito Uchiha went from being a 'Shura of the Ninja World' who had lived for nearly a hundred years, was once on par with the God of Shinobi, and even lived to this day decades after the God of Shinobi died, to a 'cowardly coward' who only knew how to play tricks and didn't even dare to reveal his true identity.

Although it's unknown where he obtained his Six Paths Technique and Yin-Yang Escape, the only thing this guy is worth being wary of is his ability to manipulate space and time into nothingness.

The real enemy is the mastermind behind the Six Paths Technique and Yin-Yang Escape.

That person might be the real Madara Uchiha, or a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths; in any case, he must be the true owner of the Rinnegan.

Whether it was Obito Uchiha or Zetsu, they were all pawns of the person behind the scenes.

Another mysterious enemy has appeared, but Nagato remains completely unfazed.

Because he was absolutely certain that the mysterious man was dead.

The reason these two came to him wasn't just because of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, but most likely because of... the Samsara Rebirth Technique!
The person behind it all wants to use him to live a second life!
There must be a hidden trick left behind by someone behind the scenes, either inside his body or in his Rinnegan.

Once this backup plan is triggered, he will be forced to use the Reincarnation Technique to resurrect the person behind the scenes.

However, even though Nagato had recovered to his peak strength, the two of them still did not make a move.

Furthermore, considering the resurrection conditions of the Samsara Rebirth Technique—that one must clearly see the appearance of the other's corpse in order to summon their soul back—Nagato had already guessed this backup plan, which required a key to activate.

This key is in the hands of either Obito Uchiha or Zetsu (Black and White).

Thinking of this, Nagato wished he could immediately tear off the mask of civility and take the opportunity to kill Black Zetsu and Obito Uchiha.

But his reason made him suppress the idea.

The person behind the scenes could send two pawns to get close to him, and there might be a third pawn hiding in the shadows.

If no move is found that person left behind, he remains just a piece on the chessboard.

Tearing off the mask now would only alert the enemy and put us in a completely passive position.

For Minami's sake, and for Yahiko's dream, he had to calm down.

"Look, isn't this urgent?"

Izayoi made a meme, pointing at the distraught Uchiha Obito, and laughed at Orochimaru.

“Oh, Moses Roy…”

Orochimaru looked at Obito Uchiha with great interest and laughed, "I remember now, Minato had three disciples. Besides Kakashi, there was another Uchiha member who died in the Fourth Shinobi World War and whose body was never recovered. So it was you."

"Not only that, Kakashi's Sharingan was also given to him by that Uchiha member before he died." Kabuto Yakushi looked at Obito Uchiha's mask and added with a smile, "Kakashi's Sharingan is in his left eye, but this person's mask only has the eyehole for his right eye, so they match perfectly."

Obito, you've become a clown!
Looking at Obito Uchiha, who was being stared at and scrutinized by everyone, and who looked like a monkey, White Zetsu's eyes showed some pity.

Once his identity is exposed, he will have no place in the Akatsuki organization.

Neither Nagato nor Itachi Uchiha will be afraid of him anymore.

Even if Nagato hadn't expelled them from Akatsuki, Obito Uchiha wouldn't have had any leverage against Nagato in the future.

If this news gets out, he will be stripped of his title of martyr in Konoha.

If people guess that he was behind the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage, his grave might be dug up.

Apart from Kakashi Hatake, nobody cares about him anymore.

Black Zetsu remained silent, secretly observing Nagato, hesitating whether to use his spiritual possession technique on him. However, sensing something amiss with his powerful perception, he quickly dismissed the idea and continued to hide.

Obito Uchiha, whose defenses had been breached by someone touching his sore spot, suddenly calmed down.

He did not attack Izayoi, after all, it was just a wooden clone.

Realizing his identity had been exposed, he stopped hiding it and asked, "How did you find out? And why are you so sure?"

This was Obito Uchiha's biggest question.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't be from the same era.

When Obito Uchiha created the Nine-Tails' attack, Izayoi was just an infant. Even his teacher, who knew him best, didn't know his true identity. How did Izayoi find out?
And he's so confident, believing he's Obito Uchiha!

"Because I'm not blind."

To this, Izayoi looked at Obito Uchiha as if he were an idiot and said, "When I was in the Ninja Academy, you would often come to Konoha and wander around. Every year on November 15th, you would go to the cemetery to pay respects to someone named Rin Nohara. And your mask only showed your right eye socket. Such obvious features, anyone who isn't an idiot could figure out your identity by investigating the relationship between Rin Nohara and Kakashi."

"..."

Obito Uchiha fell silent once again.

This idiot!

Black Zetsu cursed inwardly again, how could such an obvious flaw be left unexplored.

Nagato, Orochimaru, and the others were now completely certain of Obito Uchiha's identity.

"To be able to discover these things at that age, and without me even noticing, it seems your Wood Release awakened very early. That's truly remarkable." Obito Uchiha couldn't help but praise him, accepting the reality.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and ready to explode.

Orochimaru and Kabuto stood behind Izayoi, looking at Nagato and the other two with serious expressions.

However, Nagato ignored them and instead asked Obito Uchiha, "Is there anything you want to say?"

"I'll give you an explanation. First, take down these guys and get what you want." After saying this, Obito Uchiha used the genjutsu of his Mangekyou Sharingan to control Orochimaru.

Before he could make a further move, Izayoi smiled and whispered the name of a technique that made their expressions change slightly.

"Wood Release... The Tree World Arrives!"

A rumbling sound rang out, and the entire laboratory and underground base shook violently.

Then, one by one, the roots of a dozen or so people, resembling towering ancient trees, quickly tore through the ground and emerged from the soil.

In an instant, the underground base was submerged by the green waves.

Even the four Pain members who were maintaining the Four Red Sun Formation on the ground were affected.

Before long, towering trees that had already grown branches and leaves burst forth from the earth.

With branches sprouting from his feet, Pain had no choice but to break the barrier and teleport away from the entanglement and binding of the branches and wooden vines.

The Land of Rice Fields has many plains, and Orochimaru's underground base was built right beneath a grassland.

From a distance on the grassland, one can see large green pythons, resembling tailed beasts, surging up from the ground, straightening their bodies, and forming mountain peaks.

The violent earthquake affected the entire plain.

After everything calmed down, what was once a vast grassland suddenly became an oasis.

If you didn't know, you'd think that was the great forest of the Land of Fire.

In the forest, Nagato, who had never been to Konoha's Forest of Death, looked at the towering trees that resembled small mountains and exclaimed in amazement: "Such powerful Yang Release chakra! To have this level of chakra at such a young age, it seems this clansman is just like me."

On the top of a towering tree, the figure of Black and White Jue emerged.

Sensing the chakra contained within this forest, White Zetsu couldn't help but exclaim, "This Wood Release technique... even if Tobi hadn't relied on the leader's Yang Release chakra, he probably wouldn't be nearly as powerful!"

Black Zetsu remained silent, but his mood plummeted.

His thoughts were the same as Chiyo's in Sunagakure: how could the ninja world have become so unfamiliar after only a few months?

I thought that Otsutsuki Toneri, like Nagato, was a recipient of the Sage's Eye transplant.

It turned out that the other party was a legitimate Awakened One, just like Uchiha Madara.

Since Black Zetsu had never seen Hamura Otsutsuki use the power of the Tenseigan, he also didn't know what abilities the Tenseigan possessed.

However, the opponent also has attraction and repulsion. This evolution may be a counterpart to the Six Paths Technique of the Rinnegan.

What about next time?

If it can evolve further, wouldn't his Tenseigan awaken a unique eye technique like Madara Uchiha's?
At that time, Nagato will definitely be no match for him.

That's fine, Black Zetsu can still use Toneri Otsutsuki to weaken Nagato's strength, or have Obito Uchiha use Kamui to save the day.

Since the Tenseigan cannot summon the Gedo Mazo, Black Zetsu will not panic as long as the Rinnegan remains.

Once the Three-Tails is resurrected and the Tailed Beasts Plan is launched, he only needs one opportunity to revive Madara Uchiha.

Nagato's increased strength and the resulting stalemate with Toneri Otsutsuki are actually a good thing.

But now, another Izayoi has emerged who has awakened the orthodox Wood Release. He not only possesses Hashirama Senju's bloodline limit, but also Tobirama Senju's ninjutsu talent and intellect.

Judging from his discovery of Obito Uchiha's identity, it is very likely that, like Nagato, he also awakened the Uzumaki clan's bloodline and unique abilities.

If Black Zetsu hadn't failed to sense Ashura's chakra from him, he would have seriously suspected that Izayoi was the reincarnation of Ashura in this generation.

Nagato at his peak, Toneri Otsutsuki who evolved from the Sage's Eye, Izayoi with orthodox Wood Release, and Obito Uchiha whose identity was exposed...

Black Zetsu now feels that the rhythm has slipped out of his control.

Fortunately, Madara Uchiha's corpse was in his hands, and he used the Gedo Mazo, White Zetsu cells, and Hashirama cells within his body to restore the corpse to its prime age.

If he can control Nagato, he can use the Samsara Rebirth Technique to revive him.

Madara Uchiha, possessing Wood Release, Sharingan, and Rinnegan abilities, and at his prime age, was insignificant compared to Toneri Otsutsuki and Izayoi.

But recalling the chakra he had sensed from Nagato earlier, and realizing that Nagato was on guard against his Black Zetsu, he thought to himself, "I need to prepare a backup plan."

However, Obito Uchiha's matter is more important now.

Even though Black Zetsu is a product of Yin-Yang Release, he only feels a headache right now.

Losing the initiative doesn't matter; Black Zetsu is also fed up with Obito Uchiha.

His current worry is that Obito Uchiha will be expelled from the Akatsuki organization, which would put him in an even more passive position.

What an idiot!

Black Zetsu cursed inwardly, then used the Mayfly Technique to descend and rejoin Obito and Nagato.
