Chapter 165 The Fate of Uchiha Obito (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

At Minato Namikaze's house, Genichi knocked on the door under the tree.

"Xuan Yi?"

Minato Namikaze opened the door, slightly surprised: "Has the situation in Kumogakure been resolved?"

"Yes!"

"Although there has been no ceasefire."

Genichi Shushita did not enter the room: "Brother Minato, it's about Obito. I suspect he's not dead yet."

Minato Namikaze's expression changed slightly, then he turned around and called out, "Kushina, Genichi and I have something to attend to and need to go out for a bit!"

"Okay, let Xuan Yi come over for dinner tonight!"

Kushina Uzumaki's voice came from the kitchen.

Genichi Kishita smiled and replied, "No problem, Kushina-neechan!"

Then Minato Namikaze closed the door, and the two disappeared from the spot.

Hokage's office.

After hearing Genichi Koushi's guess, Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "In that case, let's give it a try!"

Minato Namikaze immediately added, "Even if the judgment is wrong, it would be good if we could bring back Obito's body."

Xuan nodded under the tree, then formed a hand seal.

Flying Thunder God Technique - Summoning Jutsu!

Previously, during the operation against the Mist Ninja, Genichi Kinoshita left the Flying Thunder God Technique seal on Kakashi and Obito Uchiha for summoning.

While it was certainly for the mission at that time, Genichi Kishita also had his own ulterior motives.

And sure enough, it came in handy now.

Bang!
Smoke rose, and when it dissipated, Genichi and the other two under the tree saw Uchiha Obito lying on the ground, shirtless and looking completely bewildered.

"Obito!"

Minato Namikaze was pleasantly surprised.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn.

Genichi Kinoshita guessed correctly!

So, what kind of conspiracy does that person, who is suspected to be Madara Uchiha, have against Konoha?
“Minato-sensei, Genichi…”

Obito Uchiha jumped up excitedly.

He was just training when he unexpectedly returned to the village. Was he dreaming?

Genichi asked, "Obito, were you saved by someone named Madara Uchiha?"

Obito Uchiha, who was excited, paused for a moment, then nodded: "Xuan Yi, how did you know?"

"That old man said his name was Uchiha Madara, but I remember that the ancestor of the Uchiha clan died a long time ago!"

Obito Uchiha scratched his head and laughed.

He didn't take Madara Uchiha's words to heart at all.

However, seeing everyone's serious expressions, Obito Uchiha wasn't stupid: "Um... is there a problem with this?"

Genichi Shushita shook his head: "Not for now, your body..."

Obito Uchiha laughed and said, "My body was damaged by the rocks, so that old man healed me, but I still need to train to adapt."

His body was covered with large areas of pale skin, not just half of it, clearly indicating that the injuries he sustained were more severe than those in the original timeline.

However, Obito Uchiha's eyes were intact.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, biting his pipe, was secretly astonished: "They're all Hashirama cells..."

Genichi Shushita's senses are even more acute now. Seventy percent of Obito Uchiha's body is made up of White Zetsu cells, or even Hashirama cells.

"Let's go, let's take you to the hospital for a check-up first, Kakashi is there too."

Xuan Yi Dao under the tree.

Obito Uchiha quickly asked, "Is Kakashi alright?"

"And Lin, where is Lin?"

Minato Namikaze chuckled and patted Obito Uchiha on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Rin is fine!"

Obito Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Hokage-sama, I'll be going now!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said gently, "Go, and recover well!"

After watching the three leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered to himself, "If it really is Madara Uchiha, then this is a huge problem..."

He knew all too well how terrifying Madara Uchiha was.

This guy is still alive.

Was saving Obito Uchiha a coincidence?
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't believe it either.

Mountain cemetery.

Obito Uchiha suddenly disappeared, causing the Aloe Vera White Zetsu sitting on him to fall directly onto the bed.

"Lord Madara, Obito has disappeared!"

The swirling white blade exclaimed in surprise.

Madara Uchiha opened his eyes: "Summoning Jutsu?"

His face darkened; his plan had been unexpectedly ruined.

Aloe White Zetsu and Whirlpool White Zetsu approached Uchiha Obito: "Lord Madara, shall we go and bring Obito back?"

"How could this guy suddenly disappear?"

Madara Uchiha only needed to think for a moment before he came to the answer: "It should be the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Someone left a mark on Obito and then summoned him there."

Aloe Vera White Zetsu exclaimed in surprise, "If that's the case, then we've been exposed!"

White Zetsu said, "This place is very well hidden. Even Obito Uchiha didn't know its exact location. It should be fine, right?"

The aloe vera plant danced wildly, saying, "That's not what I meant."

Madara Uchiha calmly said, "My identity has already been exposed to Konoha, so it's nothing. Consider it a surprise for them in advance."

"but……"

Whirlpool White Zetsu said, "Lord Madara, isn't Obito no longer suitable to be a pawn?"

Madara Uchiha said, "The people of Konoha will probably discover that I tampered with Obito Uchiha's body. This person is indeed unusable for the time being."

"Let's change our target, let's talk about that guy named Uchiha Tekka."

"Find him..."

Aloe Vera White Zetsu nodded: "No problem!"

Despite losing a valuable piece, Madara Uchiha remained calm.

……

Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade, who had returned from the battlefield, personally examined Obito Uchiha's body.

"These cell transplants were too rough and simple. It will take a long time to adapt. Obito, you need to check your training for a while, but don't overdo it."

Tsunade gave instructions.

Obito Uchiha nodded obediently: "Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Tsunade then pointed to Obito Uchiha's heart and said to Genichi Kinoshita and Minato Namikaze, "There is a talisman on his heart."

Genichi nodded without any surprise.

Minato Namikaze asked with a serious expression, "Lady Tsunade, do you know what kind of talisman it is and how to remove it?"

Tsunade shook her head: "I don't know the purpose of the talisman yet, but it's definitely not a good thing."

"As for the removal, it has already become one with the heart, so it would probably require the entire heart to be removed."

Obito Uchiha was once again bewildered: "What's going on?"

"Spell?"

Why is there a talisman on my heart?

Looking at Obito Uchiha's clear, foolish eyes, Minato Namikaze said helplessly, "Obito, that guy who calls himself Madara Uchiha has ill intentions."

“Xuan Yi had fought him before in the Rain Country.”

"He saved you, most likely to use you against the village. No... based on current speculation, your ordeal was orchestrated by this guy."

"In other words, Kakashi's hand was cut off because of that guy."

Obito Uchiha's pupils dilated instantly, and he said in disbelief, "This... why is this happening?"

“We don’t know each other at all… And if he is Uchiha Madara, why would he do this? Shouldn’t he also be a member of the village, or at least he used to be.”

Genichi Shushita said in a deep voice, "Obito, this matter may be a bit complicated."

"Calm down first."

Obito Uchiha took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and nodded, saying, "You tell me, Genichi."

Genichi Shushita then said, "The establishment of Konoha originated from the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, but some things happened later. Madara Uchiha left Konoha alone and later attacked Konoha, fought against the First Hokage, and created the Valley of the End."

"You can simply think of Madara Uchiha as a rogue ninja of Konoha!"

Obito Uchiha couldn't help but feel dejected: "Then why did he save me? Why me?"

"If it weren't for that, Kakashi's arm..."

It's also strange that Tsunade and Minato Namikaze would choose Obito Uchiha.
After all, within the Uchiha clan, Obito Uchiha wasn't considered a genius.

Although it's not actually as weak as the bottom of the pack.

"I don't know Madara Uchiha's purpose yet, but I do have some idea why he chose you."

Genichi pointed at Obito's eyes: "Obito, your Sharingan has been awakened, hasn't it?"

Obito Uchiha nodded and activated his two-tomoe Sharingan.

Genichi Shushita said, "Awakening the double tomoe on the first try is quite rare." Obito Uchiha couldn't help but laugh, "I knew I was a genius!"

Minato Namikaze smiled with a hint of helplessness.

Genichi Kishita continued, "The awakening of the Sharingan often requires mental stimulation and is related to loss."

"Family, friendship, love... Obito, you are full of love and have rich emotions. The more you are like this, the more shocking it will be if you suffer the loss of love."

"That's why you awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan after Kakashi's arm was cut off by the enemy."

"Then, Obito, let me ask you, what if Rin died before your eyes?"

Obito Uchiha was shocked and exclaimed, "This...this is impossible!"

"I've activated my double tomoe now, and Kakashi is a Jonin too, so... even if we encounter a very powerful enemy, at least Rin can escape first!"

Genichi Shushita shook his head: "Obito, what do you think of my strength?"

Obito Uchiha said, "Of course you are very strong. You killed the Fourth Kazekage, and I heard that you also assassinated the Third Mizukage."

Genichiro nodded: "That's right, I did kill the Third Mizukage."

“Just a few days ago, I fought the future Fourth Raikage and also defeated the Eight-Tails, the second strongest tailed beast feared by countless ninjas, and split it in two.”

“Obito, I can tell you that among the five great ninja villages, apart from the Third Hokage and the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki, none of the other three Kage are my match.”

"Well, it might be a bit difficult for me to kill the future Fourth Raikage, but it wouldn't be difficult for me to kill the current Fourth Mizukage and Fifth Kazekage."

Obito Uchiha listened, dumbfounded.

So domineering!

He swallowed hard: "Xuan Yi, aren't you second only to the Hokage in the village, and even Minato-sensei is no match for you?"

Minato Namikaze, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Xuan Yi is indeed superior to me in every aspect. If we were to face him, I could only rely on the Flying Thunder God Technique to maneuver and escape."

Genichi Shushita spread his hands: "So, Obito, even if you awaken the Sharingan with two tomoe, I only need one genjutsu to take you down in front of me."

"And Kakashi, that was just a matter of illusion."

Obito Uchiha was greatly shocked and couldn't help but mutter, "This... isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

Genichi smiled and said, "Obito..."

Obito Uchiha subconsciously looked up, and then their eyes met. His body froze instantly, and his mind was bound to the cross, unable to break free.

"Damn it, my Sharingan has..."

Obito Uchiha felt helpless and somewhat discouraged.

But then he thought, "If mine were also three-tomoe, I certainly wouldn't be so easily controlled by illusions."

After dispelling the illusion, Genichi Shushita said, "So, even though I am so powerful, I cannot say that I am invincible in the entire ninja world."

"At least, I'm no match for Madara Uchiha, the one who saved you."

"So, Obito, you need to understand that it's very difficult for you to completely protect Rin right now, and it's the same for me and Minato-nii."

"And you must also be prepared that Lin may one day die in battle."

"This is the kind of awareness a ninja should have!"

Uchiha Obito was stunned.

He never thought about this question.

Moreover, how could something so cruel exist?
For a moment, Obito Uchiha found it hard to accept.

Tsunade and Minato Namikaze both fell silent.

Tsunade, in particular, looked sorrowful.

Her younger brother, even though he followed Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, also died.

If it were her, the outcome probably wouldn't have been different.

After all, her former lover had died right before her eyes...

Minato Namikaze thought of Kushina Uzumaki, and then Madara Uchiha appeared, putting his lover in grave danger.

The Nine-Tails was once controlled by Madara Uchiha.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber. Genichi clapped his hands to wake the three of them and continued, "Going back to before, I said that Obito, you have great talent."

"If Rin dies in front of you, I believe your Sharingan will reach an extremely high level."

"That's one point. Secondly, if you witnessed Rin's death, wouldn't you be disappointed in this world, disappointed in the village, disappointed in Minato, and disappointed in Kakashi?"

"Then I can deduce that it was quite normal for you to leave the village at that time."

"And since Madara Uchiha rescued you, it's quite reasonable for you to seek refuge with him, as you are both from the Uchiha clan."

Obito Uchiha opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it. However, he stubbornly said, "I... I would never betray the village!"

"Also, Lin definitely won't die!"

Tsunade and Minato Namikaze's expressions turned serious.

Genichi Shushita suddenly smiled: "Of course, these are all my speculations."

He said all this to prepare Obito Uchiha psychologically.

After all, there's no way to be sure whether Madara Uchiha will continue to target Obito Uchiha.

I don’t know if it’s useful.

Do things that are beneficial and inexpensive first, and then worry about the consequences.

In reality, breaking Madara Uchiha's control over Obito Uchiha was actually detrimental to Genichi Koushi.

Because this means that much of the future is now unknown.

If Madara Uchiha had abandoned Obito Uchiha, could he have cultivated another Mangekyou Sharingan user?

It's probably possible.

Moreover, the Uchiha's thought process is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

However, although Genichi Kinoshita didn't think he was a good person, Obito Uchiha was still his classmate, comrade, and friend.

Having the ability to sit idly by and do nothing is not his style.

However, this is a precaution in case something unexpected happens to Obito Uchiha in the future.

Then he would not hesitate to kill without hesitation.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "Alright, most of it is based on analysis and speculation based on the information we currently have."

“Obito, the reason I’m saying all this is to make you understand that Madara Uchiha’s act of saving you was a conspiracy with ill intentions.”

"As for the talisman on your heart, go and keep Kakashi company while you recover."

"I'll help you sort it out later."

Obito Uchiha nodded: "Thank you, Genichi!"

He's not someone who doesn't know what's good for him.

After Obito Uchiha went to find Kakashi, Minato Namikaze immediately asked, "Genichi, what does Madara Uchiha want to do?"

Xuan Yi said from under the tree: "It's nothing more than the war and peace theory."

Minato Namikaze's expression turned grave: "So, Kushina will also become a target."

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "I'm afraid so."

Tsunade said somewhat irritably, "Can't we find that Uchiha Madara guy, gather all our strength, and take him down?"

Shuxia Xuanyi shook his head: "It's difficult."

"Although Obito said that Madara Uchiha was very old, his last battle with him showed that he had a way to have considerable fighting power in a short period of time."

"Secondly, he has the Sharingan. The reason he was able to deceive the First and Second Hokage back then must be because he used the forbidden technique Izanagi."

"And the Rinnegan of the Akatsuki..."

Tsunade was immediately annoyed.

Minato Namikaze then smiled and said, "It seems I'll have to train even harder from now on!"

"Although there is a big gap between him and Uchiha Madara now, Uchiha Madara's age is a very big problem."

"And we are still very young, so we have more hope!"

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "Brother Minato is right."

"We are the rising sun, while Uchiha Madara is already the setting sun."

He was confident he could surpass Madara Uchiha, given time.

Even if I can't develop abilities comparable to the Mangekyou Sharingan or the Rinnegan, I can still steal them from him.

……

After dealing with Obito Uchiha, Genichi Kishita went to the Hokage's office to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After that, Genichi Kinoshita stopped thinking about it and focused on his own training, leaving the troublesome matters to Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

As for Madara Uchiha's next target, it is impossible to predict and difficult to intervene.

Even if you try to fight Madara Uchiha who's on a ventilator, you won't win. You should focus on improving your internal strength.

Time passes day by day.

The war in the ninja world continues.

With the Kannabi Bridge mission a success, Minato Namikaze also wiped out a large number of Iwagakure's elite forces in the Land of Grass in one fell swoop, thwarting Iwagakure's plans.

After a brief period of regrouping, Sunagakure once again engaged in battle with Iwagakure, joining the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

Kirigakure, which had retreated after being defeated by Konoha, was still observing the situation.

The Hidden Cloud Village did not withdraw its troops and continued to engage in a considerable battle with the Hidden Leaf Village.

However, overall, with the end of the war with Sunagakure, Konoha had already secured the victory.

With the expansion of their war advantage, the depletion of the village's manpower and resources, and the unexpected arrival of Madara Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally made a decision.

He summoned the Konoha leadership and announced to Danzo and others that he wanted to negotiate with Iwagakure.

Regarding the Obito Uchiha plot, this isn't about whitewashing him, since the events that follow haven't occurred in the current storyline. In fact, the author considered two possible scenarios for Obito's future, both based on the current plot. Ultimately, the current scenario was chosen: Madara abandons Obito. This is a logical progression of the story. Of course, feel free to leave comments and suggestions; the author is always flexible. Eating is no problem, after all.
