Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

"Feed".

"Kid."

The Hyuga gate, which had just been closed, was opened again, revealing Hyuga Tokuma's face.

This made Sasuke's scalp tingle. Could it be that he hadn't had enough?

"The young lady said you can go find Kakashi."

With just that one sentence, the Hyuga gate was slammed shut again, leaving Sasuke alone, bewildered in the wind.

Kakashi?

Who is that?

Yuyin Village

The rain keeps falling...

Under a gloomy sky, atop a massive steel tower, Obito Uchiha, dressed in a black robe with red clouds and wearing an orange swirling mask, sat alone in the rain, listening to Zetsu's intelligence report and looking down at the entire Hidden Rain Village below.

"...According to reliable sources."

"The Hinata Hyuga who witnessed your true form back then has already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique."

The man with the yin-yang face, covered by a giant aloe vera leaf, calmly looked at the man in the rain ahead.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique, is it...?"

Obito Uchiha murmured softly.

Because he feared the fate of the Ōtsutsuki coffin, he did not take action against Hinata Hyuga for four years.

Unexpectedly, in just a few short years, a ten-year-old girl has mastered the space-time magic that countless people dream of.

"If that's the case..."

Obito Uchiha's brows furrowed slightly beneath his mask.

Given that Otsutsuki Konosuke exists and he possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, attempting revenge would be counterproductive.

"You don't want revenge?"

Black Zetsu looked at the silent Obito Uchiha in front of him and saw through his thoughts in one sentence.

"The effort put in is not proportional to the reward received."

Obito Uchiha shook his head.

Instead of getting hung up on Hinata Hyuga, it would be better to focus that energy on Jinchūriki.

"If it were before, I would naturally have opposed you doing that."

"But things are different now."

Zetsu looked at Obito Uchiha and spoke in a deep voice.

"Is it because of the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Obito Uchiha turned to look at Black Zetsu.

"Yes, you know best how powerful the Flying Thunder God Technique is. Hinata Hyuga was only ten years old when she mastered it. If she were to grow a few more years..."

"Rather than letting the enemy continue to grow stronger, it's better to strike first."

"Such a simple principle, I shouldn't need to teach you."

Black Zetsu's gaze was icy, and his words carried a chilling undertone.

"That man..."

Obito Uchiha hesitated.

If he were to deal with Hinata Hyuga, that would be fine, but what about the life of Otsutsuki Komatsu?

"I also witnessed your battle with Otsutsuki Mikoto."

"An attack launched from the moon is indeed unimaginably powerful."

"But he will definitely pay a huge price for using such methods."

"I'll find another opportunity to assassinate Hinata Hyuga."

"If that man shows up, we'll discuss this further."

"If it doesn't appear..."

Black Zetsu abruptly stopped speaking, his intentions being self-evident.

"What should I do?"

Obito Uchiha's words clearly indicated his approval of Black Zetsu's suggestion.

However, there is only one thing to consider, and that is how to limit the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although he is a space-time mage, the existence of Kamui allows him to face all enemies with ease.

But only those who are masters of spacetime can face those who are masters of spacetime.

Only those who possess the spacetime magic formula truly understand just how complicated it is.

Even if Obito Uchiha possessed Kamui, he could not restrict the user of the Flying Thunder God Technique unless he could trap the opponent within the Kamui dimension.

However, binding another spacetime mage within the Divine Might Space is far too difficult.

As seen from Minato Namikaze's performance back then, Kamui's absorption takes too long for a space-time mages; they can break free with just a thought.

"We can't kill Hinata Hyuga outside of Konoha."

Black Zetsu's words immediately made Obito Uchiha lose his composure.

If it wasn't outside Konoha, could it be that the Flying Thunder God Technique user was killed inside Konoha, which is heavily guarded and full of experts?

"According to White Zetsu intelligence, Hinata liked to leave behind the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique whenever she went out on a mission."

"It would be extremely difficult to kill her outside of Konoha."

Even Black Zetsu felt helpless at this point.

This is the advantage of the ninja clan.

An ordinary ninja might be equipped with a dozen or so kunai, or at most a hundred.

However, Hinata Hyuga has the backing of the Hyuga clan, which is very wealthy, so she is not short of money at all.

A mere few kunai can carry at most two storage scrolls.

Wherever Hinata Hyuga goes, she throws the Flying Thunder God Mark there.

Ordinary ninjas wouldn't be so wealthy and powerful.

"Only when Konoha is in chaos, the Hyuga clan has no choice but to get involved, and as the head of the Hyuga main family, Hinata Hyuga cannot possibly stay out of it."

"Only in this way can we take advantage of the chaos and eliminate her."

Black Zetsu spoke calmly.

"Konoha is in chaos..."

"What should I do?"

Obito Uchiha frowned.

Orochimaru.

Black Zetsu calmly uttered a name that Obito Uchiha recognized.

"That traitor?"

Orochimaru was recruited into the Akatsuki organization by Pain. Later, Itachi Uchiha destroyed the Uchiha clan and was recruited into the Akatsuki organization by Obito. Orochimaru coveted Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan, but Itachi Uchiha used a genjutsu to instantly kill this famous Sannin.

From then on, Orochimaru completely defected from the Akatsuki organization.

Obito Uchiha didn't know why Black Zetsu was bringing up Orochimaru at this time.

Orochimaru intended to kill the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and attempted to join forces with the Kazekage.

"We can use this opportunity to get rid of Hinata Hyuga."

"And it will also help Orochimaru and his team take down Hiruzen Sarutobi."

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, Konoha, already facing a period of decline, is now in even greater turmoil.

"This also lays the foundation for our future plan to capture the tailed beasts."

Black Zetsu spoke calmly, extending from their current objective to their ultimate plan, a series of interconnected steps.

"Can."

"When are we going to make our move?"

Obito Uchiha's heart stirred, and he approved of Black Zetsu's plan.

Even if Otsutsuki Konoha appears, can he still use puppet bombardment and moon-locked sniping techniques within Konoha?

Obito Uchiha's left eye is a regular three-tomoe Sharingan, which allows him to use Izanagi, so he has nothing to fear.

He has a whole warehouse full of Sharingan with three tomoe like that.

"Two years later, the Chunin Exams."

"If you want to stir things up even more, you can also involve Kirigakure."

Black Zetsu's words made Obito Uchiha fall into deep thought.

Because of Rin's death, Obito Uchiha, like Madara Uchiha, took control of Kirigakure, plunging them into a situation of infighting.

Now, the Fourth Mizukage under his control has filled most of the ninjas in Kirigakure with resentment, and many are secretly meeting to try to overthrow the Mizukage's rule.

In that case, let the Fourth Mizukage make the most of his remaining time.

The Konoha Crush Plan...

He's Obito Uchiha, I'll take him down!
