Uchiha the Madman: He embodies truth and obliterates reality.

Chapter 23 Unknown Abilities

What's going on...? Why do I feel like something's off about me...?

When he returned to his residence, Obito finally realized that something seemed off about him.

What's wrong with me? When did I become so agitated? Is it because I see that the Eye of the Moon Project is finally about to succeed?

Obito quickly dismissed his own guess.

No... my Eye of the Moon plan is still far from complete. The meteorite crisis is not over yet, I haven't obtained Nagato's Rinnegan, and I don't have the Tailed Beasts in my hands. I haven't even fulfilled the necessary conditions for the Eye of the Moon.

I'm still a long way from realizing my dream world, so why am I so excited right now...? This shouldn't be happening.

Obito thought to himself that he usually controlled his emotions very well and rarely got angry. He was no longer the hot-blooded, impulsive young man he used to be.

But ever since the night he massacred the Uchiha clan, he had been frequently enraged. Could this be related to that Uchiha Shin? Thinking of the crazy words that Uchiha Shin had uttered that night, Obito felt increasingly uneasy.

Could my current abnormal condition be due to the influence of his pupil technique...? Is it possible that... the meteorite fall is just the beginning?

The idea was barely formed when Obito nipped it in the bud.

There's no other reason than that. I simply can't even imagine such a thing.

After death, a single meteorite impact would be enough to destroy the world. If it had any other so-called abilities, what would happen?! There's no point in resisting or thinking of ways to save the world; everyone might as well just close their eyes and wait to die! That would be much easier!

That being said, Obito Uchiha couldn't help but wonder if Shin had any other abilities besides summoning meteors. The fact that Shin Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan could destroy the world was absurd enough; it wouldn't be surprising if he had other abilities as well.

As his unease grew stronger, Obito decided to verify it himself.

The eyes of the deceased Uchiha Shin have always been kept in his Kamui dimension. Since the night of the massacre, Obito has never touched them; they've just been left there safely.

Now, it's time to bring it out.

Obito held his breath and activated Kamui to retrieve Uchiha Shin's eyes from the spatial dimension.

After taking it out, Obito carefully examined the eyes placed in the bottle—eyes filled with an ominous look. Looking at the Mangekyou Sharingan with its three black lines, Obito couldn't immediately discern anything good or bad.

Obito had actually considered whether implanting the eye and activating the ability again would stop the meteorite from falling.

But after thinking it over, Obito ultimately decided against it. The main concern was the eye that could trigger a world-destroying meteorite impact; who knew what might happen if he used it again? If it didn't stop the meteorite impact and instead triggered an even bigger crisis, things would get much worse.

Moreover, according to the deceased madman Uchiha Shin, the power of the eyes can only be activated after death.

Based on the above considerations, Obito decided to temporarily seal his eyes.

...

After placing his eyes into the spatial dimension, Obito suppressed his unease and decided to find Kakashi first to retrieve his eyes.

Obito knew that the Sharingan could only unleash its true power when both eyes were retrieved. Once he regained his eyes, he would have the strength to contend with Nagato's Rinnegan.

Obito pondered: "But since I'm not with Akatsuki, I still need to keep an eye on Nagato. It seems I'll still need Black and White Zetsu to help me monitor Nagato."

Ever since seeing Nagato use genjutsu to demonstrate the approaching meteor during the last meeting, Obito had harbored resentment towards Zetsu, both black and white. He just hadn't shown it yet.

However, since he had no one else to use, he decided to make do with Black and White Zetsu for now. Obito thought to himself.

Obito didn't quite trust the Black and White Zetsu left behind by Madara. But the Black and White Zetsu's ability to burrow underground was indeed perfect for this task of surveillance.

...

...

Soon... Obito, having made up his mind, found both Black and White Zetsu.

"I have to go out for some business." Obito looked at Zetsu and instructed, "While I'm away from the organization, please keep a close eye on Nagato's every move."

"I don't want a second time like last time when Nagato went to verify the authenticity of the meteorite fall while I was completely unaware." After warning Black Zetsu, Obito left.

Black Zetsu watched Obito leave, and a surge of anger rose within him.

Do I need to know everything Nagato does? I'm not a telescope! Why don't you just fly to the moon? You're not the one doing the work.

That damned Uchiha brat! Making me do this and that. Do you think I'm that idiot Nagato? Or do you think I'm Madara's incarnation and can order me around like that?

Even Uchiha Madara, who used you, was just a pawn in my game. I wrote the entire history of ninjas. What are you, Obito? You dare to boss me around?

Black Zetsu felt indignant just thinking about it, but considering the grand plan to resurrect his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, he couldn't afford to turn against Obito for the time being. He decided to endure it. Enduring it would pass eventually. After all, he was Kaguya Otsutsuki's beloved eldest son.

If I act impulsively, the resurrection of my mother, Kaguya, will be a long way off.

As Kaguya Otsutsuki's dutiful son, Black Zetsu declares, "I'll tolerate it!!! I'll fucking tolerate it!!!"

As long as my mother Kaguya can be resurrected!! I'll become a telescope from now on! I'll be anything! You can order me around, I'll do whatever you want!!

Thinking this way, Black Zetsu chose to endure the frustration in his heart.

Just then, White Zetsu spoke up: "Black Zetsu, from now on, we must work even harder so that Lord Madara can be resurrected smoothly."

"Shut up!! You idiot!!"

Black Zetsu got angry as soon as he heard White Zetsu speak.

It's unbelievable that this so-called White Zetsu body, created from Hashirama cells, is actually the most intelligent among the White Zetsu. Isn't this just plain stupid? Or are all the creatures created by the Gedo Mazo, the shell of the Ten-Tails, these low-IQ idiots?

And this kind of low intelligence and inferiority is actually in my own body? I really don't know how I've endured it all these years.

If my mother Kaguya is resurrected in the future, I will definitely make sure she doesn't create White Zetsu as an army. It's just too damn stupid!

Thinking this, Black Zetsu grabbed White Zetsu and started ranting, "I always told you to be careful with your words and actions and to stop having any playful thoughts."

"You're a complete idiot, a moron. From now on, talk less and do more. Do you hear me?"

“诶诶诶？？”

The White Zetsu, completely bewildered by the barrage of criticism, wondered what it had to do with him. Didn't he usually listen to Zetsu's bashing of others?

Is Black Zetsu angry? What happened?

Chapter 24 Special Mission

Inside the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.

"Reporting to you. The inventory of the Uchiha clan's assets has been completed. All of the Uchiha's property has now been transferred to the village's common property. As for the Uchiha clan's houses, they have all been sealed off as per the Hokage's instructions."

An ANBU member wearing an animal mask is kneeling on one knee, reporting to an elderly man dressed in the Hokage's robes.

This old man is none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, the current Third Hokage of Konoha and the leader of the prestigious Sarutobi clan. He represents the pinnacle of power that no Konoha ninja can aspire to. Despite his advanced age, his rich combat experience and abundant chakra make him a force to be reckoned with. He is hailed as the "Professor of the Ninja World" and is even considered by some to be the strongest Hokage in Konoha's history.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest." The Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe and nodded as he spoke to him.

"Lord Hokage... there's something I need to ask..."

The secret agents hesitated, showing no sign of leaving.

Seeing that his subordinate seemed to have something to say to him, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "What is it? Just say it."

The ANBU member gritted his teeth. "Lord Hokage, I have something to show you."

As he spoke, the secret agent took out a letter from his pocket, "It's about the meteorite crash that's been circulating on the black market recently."

"Hmm?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyelids twitched.

His intuition told him that the meteorite fall might not be a good thing.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi received the letter from his subordinate and carefully read it, his hand trembled slightly as he put the letter down.

"How could this happen...a meteorite crash...a global crisis..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi murmured as he sat on the futon.

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up from the futon and glared at the Anbu, saying, "Why did you only bring this up now? It's such an important matter."

The ANBU member wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "I just found out about this myself, Hokage-sama."

Even the notoriously ruthless Dark Division was terrified upon learning of this.

Does anyone else know about this?

After this happened, Hiruzen Sarutobi lost his appetite for smoking. He put down his pipe and asked.

The ANBU member shook his head and hurriedly said, "No, Hokage-sama, I just learned about this and came to report to you."

"Hmm..." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, thinking to himself.

The prestigious Uchiha clan of Konoha has just been wiped out, so it's not advisable for them to cause any more trouble. We don't know if this matter is true or not, so we need to be careful.

"Hmm... You may leave. Remember, this matter must be kept secret." The Third Hokage waved his hand, dismissing the Anbu.

"Yes." The secret officer acknowledged the order and withdrew.

After leaving the office, the ANBU members came face to face with Kakashi Hatake, who was dressed as an ANBU member, after only a few steps.

After exchanging a bow, Kakashi walked toward the Hokage's office.

"Excuse me, Hokage-sama, did you want to see me?"

Outside the door, Kakashi spoke with utmost respect, then pushed open the door to the Hokage's office and walked in.

"Ah! Kakashi, you've arrived."

Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting on a futon, put down the letter in his hand and looked at Kakashi Hatake when Kakashi entered.

His signature white hair and cold, piercing gaze left a deep impression. Even during Minato's tenure as Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi had paid close attention to Kakashi Hatake. After the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, died due to the Nine-Tails' attack, his direct ANBU units were incorporated into Hiruzen Sarutobi's ranks, who had been reinstated as Hokage.
