Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

Seeing that White Zetsu had temporarily stopped causing trouble, Black Zetsu looked at the dejected Uchiha Obito with a headache, not knowing how to persuade him.

Just like the conflict between Uchiha Kazuyama and Obito, whenever Obito's actions encountered Uchiha Kazuyama, things would go wrong.

Since Obito Uchiha awakened Kamui, coupled with the Wood Release cells in his body, and after being trained by Madara Uchiha for a period of time, Obito Uchiha's strength is quite formidable even among Kage-level fighters. Moreover, his Kamui ability is extremely unpredictable, and even powerful Kage-level fighters could easily suffer a great loss if they are not careful.

Whether it was using Kamui and Wood Release to brutally defeat the Hidden Mist Village ninjas who had harmed Rin, or facing his teacher on the night of the Nine-Tails, he performed admirably.

However, ever since Uchiha Kagami suddenly appeared, Obito seemed to be restrained by him, and he always suffered a great loss from him.

Black Zetsu waited a while longer until Obito's condition improved before walking over and saying, "Obito, it's alright. This is just a small setback in our grand plan. As you know, the more the Mangekyou Sharingan is used, the faster he will go blind. Don't worry, that Uchiha Kakuzan won't be smug for long."

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha looked at him with a deep gaze and said without any emotional fluctuation, "When he was overpowering the Three-Tails in its complete form, he used Wood Release. You should know what effect Wood Release cells have on the Mangekyou Sharingan."

The reason why Obito Uchiha was able to use his eye technique Kamui at will was because he had Wood Release cells, which could greatly extend the use time of his Mangekyou Sharingan. Therefore, how could he not know the effect of Wood Release cells on the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Black Zetsu was taken aback by Obito Uchiha's words and paused for a moment. How could he not know such a thing? He just wanted to comfort this damned Obito.

However, after speaking with Black Zetsu, Obito Uchiha emerged from his depression. He still had to carry out his plan and reunite with Rin in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, so how could he be easily defeated?

Obito Uchiha raised his head and looked at the giant Gedo Mazo, saying, "Damn Uchiha Okayama, I knew the Uchiha clan was full of annoying guys, especially this Uchiha Okayama, he's more hateful than all the other Uchiha."

After saying that, Obito Uchiha, still unwilling to give up, pounded hard on the stone wall next to him.

After venting his anger, Obito suddenly thought of something. He said in a sinister tone, "Uchiha Kakuzan, aren't you the head of the Uchiha clan now? If I wipe out your entire Uchiha clan, won't you regret it? Will you regret angering someone you shouldn't have?"

After Obito Uchiha finished speaking, he loudly asked the White Zetsu crouching in the corner:

"White Zetsu, have you found out where the Uchiha clan has moved to?"

Upon hearing Obito's words, the White Zetsu snapped out of his meditative state and turned to Obito with a slightly aggrieved expression, saying, "Obito, I searched diligently, but my White Zetsu clones have traversed the entire ninja world and found no trace of the Uchiha clan, not even a single one of them."

Furthermore, I personally went to the Uchiha clan's former territory before they moved to Konoha, and found nothing but dust. (When White Zetsu went, Fugaku Uchiha hadn't gone yet.)

Both Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu knew about White Zetsu's abilities. He had 100,000 White Zetsu clones and the Mayfly Technique, which allowed him to merge his body with the earth and vegetation and move at high speed. In this world, there was really no place that White Zetsu couldn't detect.

Black Zetsu, upon hearing White Zetsu's words, also began to analyze the situation.

"White Zetsu's reconnaissance is all-pervasive. Wherever there are plants, White Zetsu can get there. The Uchiha clan has several thousand members, which is no small number. Unless the Uchiha clan all hide in places where no plants can grow,..."

However, this is impossible, because such places are too harsh, and there are many children in the Uchiha clan who cannot adapt to such environments.

"It's all that damned Uchiha Kakuyama's fault! If it weren't for his space-time dojutsu, how could so many Uchiha have been transferred without leaving a single clue?"

At this moment, Obito Uchiha suddenly interjected through gritted teeth, "An island, another island! That cunning guy, Uchiha Kakuzan, must have found an island and moved all the Uchiha clan members there. Because of the isolation of the sea, the White Zetsu's abilities are suppressed, and they can't use the Mayfly Technique, so he couldn't detect them."

Obito Uchiha paused, then said with a grim expression, "I just don't know..."

Chapter 290 The Secret of the Rinnegan

Chapter 290 The Secret of the Rinnegan

Obito Uchiha said with a gloomy expression, "That damned Uchiha Okazan must have hidden the Uchiha clan on some island, which is why the White Zetsu didn't find them."

As Obito Uchiha finished speaking, his expression grew even more somber, and his voice became increasingly hoarse and gloomy:

"I just don't know if Uchiha Kakuzan's move was unintentional or if he had already sensed something. Otherwise, why would he have happened to place his clansmen on an island that could suppress White Zetsu's reconnaissance?"

Black Zetsu fell silent after hearing Obito Uchiha's words, and only spoke after a while:

"It seems that Uchiha Kakuzan has had a huge impact on our plans. Otherwise, we could send the Six Paths of Pain to Konoha. Even if we can't destroy Konoha, we can at least retrieve the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha shook his head with a grim expression, denying it:

"Nagato doesn't really trust me, and he has Konan by his side. If I suggest he go to Konoha, he won't agree."

Especially now that Tsunade is in charge of Konoha, even if we retrieve the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she won't let it go easily, which will greatly affect our future plans.

Black Zetsu, upon hearing Obito Uchiha's words, knew he was right and sighed, "It seems we can only start with those Jinchuriki who aren't getting much attention. Notify Nagato and start the plan. Have the Akatsuki members begin collecting the Tailed Beasts; their locations have been mostly identified anyway."

Just as Obito Uchiha was about to nod in agreement, White Zetsu, who had been drawing circles on the side, suddenly raised his hand and said:

"Um, um, little Obito, I just got news that the Fourth Mizukage just committed suicide, and the Three-Tails' aura has also dissipated. It must have died along with him. Little Obito, should we still carry out the plan?"

White Zetsu didn't dare look at Black Zetsu and told him directly that if he told Black Zetsu this news, he would likely be severely scolded.

As soon as White Zetsu finished speaking, the entire underground space fell silent, and even Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu froze in their tracks.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Bai Jue found it strange and curiously moved his gaze back and forth between the two of them.

After waiting for a while, Black Zetsu said through gritted teeth, "That damned Fourth Mizukage is so stupid. He was out of our control and he still committed suicide. Idiot, what an idiot."

Both of them could see that Black Zetsu was really anxious; otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted this way.

After Black Zetsu calmed down, Obito Uchiha spoke up, "Actually, this is quite normal. I believe he must have felt desperate after waking up from our control."

There was not a trace of sympathy in Obito Uchiha's voice; instead, it was full of coldness. To him, everyone in Kirigakure was an enemy, a murderer of Rin, let alone the leader of Kirigakure.

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito and said, "Inform Nagato that the plan is postponed due to the death of the Three-Tails. We will conserve our strength and officially launch the tailed beast collection plan after the Three-Tails is resurrected."

Black Zetsu paused for a moment, then continued, "That's good. We can take advantage of this gap to concentrate our efforts on dealing with that Uchiha Kakuyama. Otherwise, he would really be a major threat to us."

Obito Uchiha nodded in agreement. Ever since he encountered Uchiha Kakuzan, things had been going badly for him. Now that the plan had been postponed, it was only natural to deal with him first.

Suddenly, Obito Uchiha seemed to remember something and said worriedly:

"This Uchiha Kakuzan has Wood Release cells transplanted from somewhere, and he can actually use the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique. He has far more Wood Release cells than I do. Could he evolve the Rinnegan like Madara?"

Black Zetsu shook his head and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? That Uchiha Kakuzan has no relatives. Even if he has the Mangekyou Sharingan, he can't evolve it into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, so how could he possibly evolve it directly into the Rinnegan?"

Then, Black Knight silently added in his mind, "Even if Uchiha Kakuzan was lucky enough to possess the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he wouldn't know the secret of the Rinnegan, let alone find Indra and Ashura's chakra."

Black Zetsu didn't say any of these things. In his view, it was enough that there was only one Rinnegan in the world. Therefore, he didn't let anyone know the secret of the Rinnegan except for the already deceased Uchiha Madara.

After hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew it was unlikely, Uchiha Kakuzan's outstanding performance made him worry.

Black Zetsu looked at Obito Uchiha and comforted him, "Alright, Kirigakure is lost, so be it. Anyway, you've already wrecked it all, so it's useless now."

Now, the most important thing is to find the Uchiha clan's territory and, ideally, eliminate that Uchiha Hill.

We can't rush this. We need to patiently wait for Uchiha Kakuyama to show a weakness, and then seize the opportunity to eliminate him.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, Uchiha Okayama was deeply in love with Mei Terumi, and their relationship was rapidly developing.

When the two were alone, every part of Mei Terumi's body was conquered by Uchiha Kakuzan amidst her feigned resistance. Her pink lips, capable of spitting out acidic mist and liquid, were tasted by Uchiha Kakuzan countless times.

However, perhaps because they weren't ready yet, or perhaps because Mei Terumi was still a little shy, the two of them stopped at the last step.

Because the two were so inseparable, the two tagalongs who used to follow Uchiha Kakuyama wisely stopped following and disappeared somewhere.

That very evening, Uchiha Kakuzan and Terumi Meite, both wearing masks characteristic of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village), were strolling hand-in-hand through the night market, having a wonderful time.

Suddenly, a little boy wearing glasses ran over, carrying a short ninja sword on his back.

The little boy ran very fast, and when he came up to them, he said while panting, "Lady Terumi Mei, Elder Yuanshi has something to discuss with you. It's very urgent, please come immediately."

Mei Terumi abruptly removed her mask, revealing a more attractive face. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed the little boy's head, vigorously rubbing it while asking:

"Chojuro, what brings Master Genji to me in such a hurry?"

Chapter 291 Inheriting the Water Shadow

Chapter 291 Inheriting the Water Shadow

Mei Terumi ruffled Chojuro's hair as she asked:

"What's the matter, Master Yuan? How urgent is it?"

Chojuro blushed at Mei Terumi's actions and said with his head down:

"Lady Terumi Mei, Elder Genshi is probably waiting for you at the Mizukage Building because of the Fourth Mizukage."

Mei Terumi was troubled when she heard Chojuro's words.

Because she is currently with Uchiha Kakuyama,

Although Mei Terumi and Uchiha Kakuzan only spent a few days together, their relationship quickly warmed up, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were inseparable.

The matter concerning the Fourth Mizukage must be the most confidential information in Kirigakure. If she were to go, she would have to abandon Lord Kagami here.

This made Mei Terumi, who was still in the throes of new love, very reluctant to part ways.

Uchiha Kakuyama noticed Mei Terumi's predicament, reached out to gently brush a strand of hair behind her ear, and said:

"Master Yuan must have something urgent to tell you, so you should go ahead."

When Mei Terumi heard what Uchiha Kakuyama said, she felt a sense of relief and a sweet feeling welled up inside her, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Chojuro, who was standing to the side waiting for Mei Terumi's reply, had never seen such a scene before. His face turned red instantly, and he stood there awkwardly.

Afterwards, Mei Terumi's face flushed crimson, and her emerald green eyes seemed to contain the entire starry sky.

Mei Terumi gazed tenderly at Akiyama-kun while gradually calming her rapid breathing.

After giving Qiushan a deep look, Mei Terumi left behind the words "Wait for me to come back" and ran towards the Mizukage Building with Chojuro beside her.

Uchiha Kakuyama took a deep breath, calming his intense emotions. Once his breathing was steady, he looked at the Mizukage Building, a bright blue glint flashing deep in his eyes.

After using the Byakugan, Uchiha Kakuzan frowned slightly and muttered to himself:

"The Fourth Mizukage died just like that? He was really fragile. He died quickly, but he left a mess for Mei Terumi. Even the Three-Tails died because of him."

After saying goodbye to Okayama-kun, Mei Terumi hurriedly arrived at the Mizukage Building with her little follower.

After she entered, she saw Master Yuan, and beside him was Qing, who had the white eyes.

However, Yuan Shi looked much older at this time, as if he had suffered another blow.

Mei Terumi, without even catching her breath, hurriedly asked:

"Elder Yuan, what's wrong with Shuiying? Has something happened? Could it be that the mysterious person has returned?"

Genji simply shook his head wearily at Terumi Mei's question, his eyes filled with exhaustion as he said:

"The Fourth Mizukage just committed suicide."

Upon hearing Genji's words, Mei Terumi's pupils contracted sharply, and she exclaimed in astonishment:

"How could that be? We didn't intend to punish him. The Fourth Generation finally escaped control, why would he be so reckless?"

Master Yuan shook his head with a sigh:

“I know the Fourth Mizukage very well. In his heart, the village is everything. His passion for the village is unmatched by anyone else. That’s why I supported him in becoming the Fourth Mizukage.”

But fate is cruel. The Mizukage, who loved the village the most, caused the greatest harm to it. That must be why he wanted to commit suicide.

Mei Terumi opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, instead turning her gaze to Ao.

When Ao saw Mei Terumi looking at him, he quietly nodded to her.

Having received confirmation, Mei Terumi gritted her teeth so hard they almost ground to powder, and angrily said:

"That damned guy! I hope I never run into you, or I'll make you pay back a thousand times over for all the harm you've done to Kirigakure."

After calming down a bit, Genshi looked at Mei and said:

"Girl, I'm planning to let you inherit the position of Water Shadow, what do you think?"

Upon hearing Genji's words, Terumi Mei was somewhat at a loss and refused without thinking:

“Master Yuan, this won’t do. I’m still so young and don’t know anything. How can I be qualified for the position of Mizukage?”

At this moment, Master Yuan changed the subject and said:

"Girl, how's your relationship with that Uchiha Kakuzan going?"

Upon hearing Genji's words, Terumi Mei blushed and said shyly, "It's alright. Qiushan-kun is someone I can entrust with my life."

Yuan Shi looked at Terumi Mei, whose face was flushed, and said, "I originally planned to let you inherit the position of Mizukage after you have more experience, but if I don't let you inherit it now, I'm afraid you will run away with someone else."

Mei Terumi, upon hearing Genji's words, disagreed.

"How could that be? Master, I, Terumi Mei, am not that kind of person. Why would I abandon the village at this time?"

Master Yuan shook his head, but did not argue with her: "The reason why you were allowed to inherit the position of Mizukage is also to better form an alliance with the Uchiha clan."

"The Uchiha clan is now separated from Konoha. As one of the top bloodline clans in the ninja world, and with the strength of their clan leader, Uchiha Kagami, they are worth trying to win over."

Actually, those two Uchiha clan members following behind Uchiha Kagami, although they didn't make a move, were both quite strong. Even in your current state, you might not be able to defeat them.

Master Yuan paused, then added, "I meant one-on-one."

When Mei Terumi heard Genji's words, she was about to retort, but then she seemed to remember something and fell silent.

Although Mei Terumi had little contact with the two people following behind Qiu Shanjun, she could vaguely sense their strength. Although they were not hostile to her, they were not to be underestimated.

Ignoring Mei Terumi's reaction, the master continued speaking to himself:
