Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 404 Psychic Communication

"Won't Orochimaru cause any problems? His joining the organization is clearly ill-intentioned!"

Just as Obito was about to end the conversation, Black Zetsu seemed to have thought of something and asked his own question.

"Given this guy's nature, he'll definitely try to get his hands on Nagato's Rinnegan. Letting him stay in the organization like this is risky; what if something unexpected happens?"

Nagato, no, the Rinnegan in Nagato's eyes is of great importance. Black Zetsu felt he still had to be careful, otherwise if something unexpected happened along the way, he wouldn't be able to conjure up another pair of Rinnegan.

"Orochimaru was recruited by Nagato!"

"With Nagato watching over things, nothing will go wrong!"

He was quite confident about the Rinnegan; even though Orochimaru was one of the Legendary Sannin, he couldn't cause any trouble.

Moreover, he felt that Nagato had done a good job; rather than letting such a venomous snake lurk from the sidelines, it was better to keep it right under his nose.

This also allows us to leverage the other party's resources to serve our organization.

"Um, I have something to do!"

White Zetsu, who had already been silenced, quickly spoke up as the conversation neared its end.

"Toshiro Uchiha has my tissue cells on his hands!"

"What?"

"What's going on?"

As soon as White Zetsu spoke, not only Obito but even Black Zetsu's voice changed, and they quickly asked White Zetsu what was going on.

"Obito, don't you remember?"

"It was the time I wore this outfit to save Lin that this guy took cell tissue from me."

At that time, the other party took a small piece of his body, and in order not to reveal his existence, he did not dare to react at all.

At the time, he didn't think much of it, but now that he thinks about it, the other party's act of taking cells from his body has a strange feel to it.

"That time..."

The mention of baijiu (Chinese liquor) immediately brought something to mind for Obito.

However… this matter should have nothing to do with the other party activating the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After all, that happened six or seven years ago.

"This matter cannot be underestimated; Uchiha Toshiro must be eliminated!"

After talking with White Zetsu and learning what had happened, Black Zetsu was also unsure whether White Zetsu's actions were unintentional out of curiosity or deliberate.

If it's the former, that's fine. But if it's the latter, then Uchiha Toshiro might know some things he shouldn't know.

"Alright, you're all being too sensitive!"

"A mere small piece of White Zetsu cell won't play a crucial role; at most, it will only delay the onset of the opponent's Kaleidoscope blindness!"

Obito didn't pay much attention to this, as it was just a small piece of White Zetsu tissue, not enough to supply the Mangekyou Sharingan's needs.

He has the authority to speak on this matter.

"Let's stick to the original plan. Once we have complete control over Yagura and the Akatsuki organization is on the right track, then we'll consider the matter of Uchiha Toshiro and the Uchiha clan."

"but…"

Black Zetsu clearly has a different opinion on this matter.

If it's just a small piece of leukocytes, it's not a big problem.

However… after that, there was an incident where White Zetsu went missing. Those missing White Zetsu were in the possession of Konoha's spies, and the spies happened to be active near Kirigakure during the time the White Zetsu went missing.

This made him suspicious.

After making his decision, Obito noticed Black Zetsu's still somewhat dissatisfied expression and interrupted him, changing the subject: "Don't worry, it won't take long! At most a year or two, and we can bring this matter to a close!"

"Our focus should still be on Nagato. Once he has recruited enough people, whether or not Yagura is there won't matter!"

After saying this, Obito stood by Yagura's desk, quietly watching the unconscious figure.

Those who can become Kage are indeed not easy to deal with. Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, it is still somewhat difficult to completely control him and the Three-Tails within him.

If the other party wasn't a Jinchūriki, I could use White Zetsu to impersonate them, and I'd have more time to keep an eye on Nagato.

Toshiro was completely unaware of all this; he was now looking at the Iwa ninja in front of him with a bit of a headache, who had suddenly become very nervous.

He is currently hiding in an empty house in Iwagakure. The owner of this house must have been away on missions for a long time and no one paid any attention to him, so he used it as his current place of refuge.

As night fell, Toshiro quietly made his way to the Iwagakure cemetery. After wandering around there, he finally found the target he was looking for.

"You are the one!"

Manipulating a small snake made of ink, Toshiro secretly stole a piece of the corpse tissue that should belong to a high-ranking member of the Iwagakure village, and left the village under the cover of night.

"What did you say! The Four-Tails, Roshi, has already fallen out with the Tsuchikage!"

"And he even impulsively ran away from the village?"

In a secluded spot on the outskirts of Iwagakure, Toshiro used a bandit he had captured beforehand to summon the Iwagakure high-ranking official who had only recently been buried.

Upon hearing the news from the other party, Toshiro frowned.

When did this happen?

"Just last month!"

A thin, expressionless old man answered Toshiro's questions without reservation.

"last month?"

Hearing this, Toshiro felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have traveled around collecting tailed beast chakra. If he had arrived here earlier, things would have been much simpler.

Do you know where the secret scroll for cultivating Dust Release is?

Since the person has already left Iwagakure, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore. It's better to ask yourself what matters.

"Dust Release... was personally taught by the Third Hokage... without leaving behind... any written records!"

Seemingly making a final struggle, this high-ranking member of the Iwa ninja spoke haltingly, as if he were trying his best to control his thoughts.

However, these acts of resistance were completely ineffective against Toshiro.

"Where is the Second Tsuchikage's body? And who is the Five-Tails' Jinchuriki?"

The fact that the Dust Release technique of the Iwa ninja was passed down orally was somewhat unexpected for Toshiro, but it didn't stump him.

If I can't find you, Onoki, I still have your master!

I wonder if the Dream Master will come after me when he summons the Second Tsuchikage.

"The Five-Tails' Jinchūriki is Han, who lives in the northwest corner far from the village!"

"The Second Tsuchikage is buried in...in..."

At this point, the body of this high-ranking Iwa ninja suddenly disintegrated, releasing the summoning on its own.

"Tch! Is this what they call the Will of Stone?"
