Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 187 Still Water's Eyes, Ruthless Killing of Chickens

Without a sound, Obito returned to his original world.

No one knows what Obito did during his disappearance. Even though everyone knows that Obito is the only Kage-level shinobi in the Uchiha clan and the biggest source of strength for the Uchiha clan in Konoha, it is still impossible for someone to keep an eye on Obito's whereabouts around the clock.

Moreover, they don't have the ability to keep an eye on him. Obito can go wherever he wants, whether he's wearing White Zetsu or activating the Great Sun Spirit.

"Huh, what's going on? It looks like there have been casualties. A standard four-person team, only two of them came back... and the Jonin leading the team is also missing."

"Shisui is back, looking a bit disheveled... How could that be? That's Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique. Although he's very young, he's already a famous super genius in the clan. Many people say he will become the next Mangekyou Sharingan ninja after Obito."

Ever since the Zhishui team returned to the village, people along the way have stopped and looked at Zhishui, the leader, in astonishment.

Shisui was extremely popular in the village. Even those who weren't ninjas had heard of his undeniable talent. Many people privately rumored that the Uchiha clan had specially exchanged the Flying Thunder God Technique for Shisui, making his name "Shisui of the Body Flicker" truly fitting.

But look at Shisui now. His clothes are torn and covered in dust, with hideous lacerations. Even though a medical ninja performed emergency treatment, faint marks are still left on his skin.

"...That's the overall situation. The enemy is very strange. I've never seen such a guy before. Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, I can only manage to hold my own against him."

Shisui lowered his head deeply, and although he tried to keep his emotions calm, his voice was still obviously suppressed: "Captain Dekai was killed by that guy, so fast that I didn't even have time to react."

"Is that so? Even though our village is suppressing the major ninja villages, there are still occasionally some troublesome individuals who manage to cause us casualties..."

Among the people sitting in the conference room, Fugaku spoke first, addressing Shisui: "Dekayi was with Minato Namikaze back then, and followed Jiraiya in many battles. I never expected him to die here."

Shikaku didn't even look up, frantically dealing with official business—the Fourth Hokage was absent, and Obito, who was his advisor, was also nowhere to be found, so he had to organize a meeting to handle many things.

In other villages, such behavior would inevitably trigger political struggles. Who knows if you, Shikaku, the temporary administrator, would form cliques based on personal desires, specifically calling on the clan leaders of the ninja clans who are close to you to participate in the village's decision-making, and taking the opportunity to benefit the ninja clans?
To be even bolder, it's entirely possible to launch a coup, which would be the best opportunity to seize control of the village and make arrangements.

But it was useless in Konoha. To be more precise, after Kaedeji came to power, these little political tricks and hidden dangers were no longer a problem at all. It wasn't because Kaedeji's governing ability was so superb, it was purely because...

Kaede Tsukasa was stronger than everyone else, by an absolute margin. He was so strong that he could overpower everyone else by himself. No matter how chaotic the factions in Konoha were, he could still control everyone and make them dedicate everything to the great Fourth Hokage.

Similarly, Kaedeji holds interests that no one can refuse.

"This isn't a big deal. A mid-level ninja like Dekayi is still worth reviving. Even if no one is willing to pay the revival points for him, the Hokage will probably revive him when he has time. At worst, he can slowly pay off the village's debts."

Dingza munched on a potato chip, leaving the attendees speechless. But then again, it was already rare to have someone like Dingza sitting here for so long handling official business, so it was reasonable for him to eat snacks to replenish his energy.

No one was moved by Dekayi's death; on the contrary, they were extremely relaxed. Some even reached out to take a few potato chips from Dingza's hand, which of course was impossible.

Shisui listened silently to their conversation, the arguments surrounding the snacks, and even the changes in the battle lines with other villages. But no one was talking about Dekayi, the Konoha Jonin.

In the past, the death of a Jonin would definitely have warranted the Hokage's personal attention and review, but now there's no need for that; Konoha Village has been winning all the time.

Shisui lowered his head deeply, feeling not relaxed, but even more depressed.

I don't know when it started, but people's views on death seem to have changed. They are becoming less and less sensitive to things like life and death, as if their strongest emotions are rapidly collapsing under the blows of some giant hand.

Shisui continued his report: "The enemy has mastered the Wood Release bloodline limit and also possesses the Byakugan."

"Eye roll?"

The noise immediately subsided, and Hiashi looked at Shisui in surprise, asking, "Are you sure it's the Byakugan?"

"Yes, it's the white eye that switched from a normal eye, and strange tattoos appeared on the other person's body—"

"Alright, stop talking, I understand." Hiashi interrupted forcefully. This was enough for him to deduce the information. It was clearly someone like Hamura, an enemy that the Hyuga clan could not handle. Only Kaedeji could deal with it.

Shisui paused for a moment, then excused himself and slowly left the conference room.

As night fell, Zhi Shui walked down the bustling street, feeling depressed and out of place among the dense crowd around him.

Suddenly, someone bumped into him seemingly unintentionally. Shisui's expression shifted slightly, and he turned in a different direction.

The two walked further and further into the remote area, and finally stopped.

"Judging from your expression, it seems you've already realized that I wasn't lying to you. Letting someone like Kaedeji continue to rule the village will distort everyone's thoughts and turn everyone into monsters."

After forming the hand seals, the other party released the transformation spell with a bang: "Playing with life and death at will, taming everyone under his rule into slaves, that's what Kaede Tsukasa is actually doing. Look at those living people, they're just backup zombies. Human will has never had any reason to exist in the first place."

"Even so, I will not trust you, Danzo." Shisui raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and the pattern of his three-tomoe jade pendants changed.

"...The Mangekyou Sharingan, that's amazing. Your talent is comparable to Obito's, or even stronger. You obtained these eyes when you were eleven years old."

Danzo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, filled with deep greed and jealousy.

Since Kaede's successful coup, Danzo escaped using Izanagi and has been hiding in the ninja world, not only from the ninjas of Konoha but also from the ever-increasing number of zombies.

But given Danzo's personality, he wouldn't easily admit defeat, much less hide in some remote town and live in seclusion; he was always looking for an opportunity.

He finally found it, and at that moment he grasped it precisely.

Uchiha Shisui, a man with excessive emotions to the point that his rationality was almost completely washed away by his feelings, became Danzo's best target for brainwashing.

"If I were still an advisor to Konoha, I could easily get someone like Shisui to work for me with just a few words, instead of struggling like this." Danzo felt extremely resentful. Without power and status, it was inconvenient to do anything.

But it's not too late now, since we've encountered a fool like Shisui.

“But I don’t trust you either.” “You don’t need to trust me, nor do you need to trust anyone! You need to have your own ideas. Now that you have your own Mangekyou Sharingan, you have the ability to change the situation in the village.” Danzo shouted, his eagerness almost uncontrollable.

"A pair of Mangekyou Sharingan can only make me a Hokage-level ninja, not enough to make the Hokage take me seriously... But if it's just to change his mind a little, it shouldn't be a problem." Shisui murmured to himself, as if afraid of disturbing someone.

"Oh? The Eye of the Mind, then what exactly is the eye technique you possess?"

"Other Gods..."

"Never heard of it, what use is it?"

"There's no need to tell you that. I won't trust you, and I will do things my own way from now on."

Shisui shook his head. Besides, whether he did it or not was another matter: "Run away before I change my mind. If you are discovered, you will die here."

"Hmph, how could the Uchiha clan possibly feel pity for someone like me?"

"I suppose so. As the Dark Ninja, you have made outstanding contributions to the village, and that cannot be faked."

Shisui ignored Danzo, his mind filled with thoughts of Kotoamatsukami. If such a genjutsu existed, it would be the most perfect eye technique... In any case, Shisui didn't think he was qualified to look directly at Kaede Tsukasa with other types of eye techniques.

Even a space-time eye technique wouldn't work. No matter how strong it is, could it be stronger than Obito's? Not to mention that Obito can also use his Wood Release!
But if it's an illusion, that's a different story.

Shisui slowly returned to the clan's territory. As a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, and with his own considerable talent, he was naturally not short of money and could afford a nice house.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhishui noticed a slight movement and immediately moved quickly, moving at an exaggerated speed across the clan's territory. After several flashes, he caught up with the mysterious figure.

"White Zetsu? It's Lord Obito. I thought there was an enemy invasion."

Shisui was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw White Zetsu, but his expression changed and his gaze fell on White Zetsu's left eye.

"...Why would the Mangekyou Sharingan appear on White Zetsu?" Shisui asked in surprise.

White Zetsu's lips curled into a wide, slightly ferocious smile: "Really, we've only just begun our operation and we've already been discovered. But it shouldn't matter, right, Obito-sama?"

Swish!
White Zetsu glared and created a black hole, from which Obito's figure emerged.

“Jing was a genius back then, and his descendants are also geniuses. If Shisui has children in a few years, they will probably also be geniuses. This is a hidden danger.”

On Obito's list, top geniuses like Shisui had to be "cleaned out".

Shisui took out a kunai and said cautiously, "What are you talking about? I don't quite understand. It seems you're on a special mission?"

"You're also part of the mission, Shisui. Now that you've discovered me, there's nothing more to say... Konoha won't allow someone with your talent to leave descendants! White Zetsu, make your move."

Obito coldly observed Shisui's every move, naturally noticing the space-time technique on the kunai, and immediately knew that Shisui had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

This talent amazed Obito and further solidified his resolve to kill the chicken.

"Fall down. How can the three-tomoe Sharingan compare to the Mangekyou Sharingan? You fell into my genjutsu when you made eye contact with me just now. No matter how fast you are, can you outrun the line of sight?" White Zetsu's smile was ferocious. He glanced at Shisui, but Shisui's figure remained motionless.

"This eye power... you actually possess the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Obito stared at Shisui in shock, filled with dread.

This kid is only eleven years old! This is unbelievable!

One of the key reasons Obito was able to awaken his Sharingan was because of Madara's tutelage, but what about Shisui? Where did he find someone of Madara's caliber to guide him? Doesn't this mean... Shisui's talent is even greater than his?
The only thing that Obito could be thankful for was that Shisui had no blood relatives and could never obtain the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Obito said in a deep voice, "Just do it."

White Zetsu immediately activated the Great Sun Spirit Eye Technique, creating a miniature black hole that was about to destroy Shisui's reproductive tract in an instant.

Ke Zhishui's insight allowed him to clearly see the ultra-miniature black hole, and his speed was equally astonishing; he disappeared from his spot in a flash, dodging the black hole.

"What is this going to do?"

Shisui was puzzled and confused, still not understanding what Obito was doing. He instinctively felt a chill, but didn't feel any sense of threat to his life, which was strange.

White Zetsu was at a loss: "What should we do, Obito? If we defeat this guy, won't it alert your clansmen?"

"Then we don't need to worry about him. As fellow space-time ninjas, he won't be able to stop us either. You should make good use of my eye."

Obito's chicken-killing skills have skyrocketed, and he simply cannot tolerate the emergence of the Mangekyou Sharingan again. Who knows what kind of unpredictable eye techniques these eyes of the mind might awaken!

The two entered the black hole and quickly left. Shisui immediately followed, but it was clear that he had not placed Flying Thunder God coordinates around the clan's territory. He could only rely on Body Flicker Technique to move at high speed, but this speed was much slower than that of the Great Sun Spirit.

In the end, Obito and White Zetsu would often have already finished their business and left before Shisui arrived.

"I still don't understand what they're trying to do... Attack the tribespeople? Obviously not. At most, they just look a little uncomfortable with their brows furrowed. What exactly are they doing?"

Shisui became increasingly confused, to the point that he never knew whether he should intervene or not. He could only be tossed around by Obito and White Zetsu, keeping them incredibly busy, but in reality, he accomplished nothing.

Shisui, having never experienced the harsh realities of the ninja world, had no idea that Obito was sterilizing his entire clan in an attempt to thwart the greatest uncontrollable factor in the ninja world.
