Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 158 Is Madara Uchiha the Hokage? The Evil Uchiha Brat and the Evil Senju Old Demon

Although Tobirama Senju had heard the reports from the Third Hokage and others, perhaps in order not to provoke the Second Hokage, or perhaps to avoid affecting the white moonlight in his heart.

Therefore, they had never mentioned the issue of "Uchiha Kagami" before, but now it's all been exposed at once!

Looking at Tobirama Senju's incredulous, even disbelieving, expression, Haori found it somewhat amusing.

Meanwhile, Shisui felt even more embarrassed and guilty, as if he had tarnished his grandfather's reputation.

Hikaru, on the other hand, really felt that Hagoromo was full of wicked humor, always liking to do these kinds of pointless things.

However, since they were all using different aliases, she wanted to make sure she hadn't been exposed, so she simply spoke up.

"Is there any other information? I've heard there's someone with similar abilities to me. Can you identify who that person is?"

"According to intelligence from the Land of Rain and our own intelligence, this guy is an extremely dangerous individual, and he seems to be the number two in the 'Flame Organization'."

Yuri glanced at Hikari and began to wonder if his fiancée was doing it on purpose, but he quickly gave his answer.

"He seems to be Madara Uchiha's younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, but he died very young and there's not much information about him within the clan, so..."

"I know this guy, because I killed him with my own hands!"

Although Tobirama Senju hadn't yet recovered from being in love with Kagami Uchiha, his ideal woman, he almost instinctively spoke up when he heard Izuna Uchiha's name.

However, he quickly noticed the way people around him were looking at him, and he immediately let out a cold snort of annoyance.

"Hmph, at least in this world he was killed by me. I don't know about the situation in other worlds."

"That shouldn't be the case."

She raised an eyebrow. After all, Uchiha Izuna was someone she often impersonated, since their abilities were quite compatible.

Hikaru had naturally heard some of Tobirama Senju's exploits, but she didn't think that the Second Hokage was capable of killing this Uchiha junior.

"Controlling Amaterasu can form a defense, and judging from the intelligence, what he did in the Land of Grass and the Hidden Mist Village."

He's skilled in illusion techniques and can also use Susanoo. These combined abilities seem to be difficult even for the Flying Thunder God to overcome, you said.

"I'm going to kill him anyway!"

Tobirama Senju's face darkened further. Of course, he knew exactly how Izuna Uchiha had died; he had been tricked by Tobirama.

That guy hadn't expected to succeed in training the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he simply dodged when facing the kunai, only to be defeated by the Flying Thunder God Slash.

But ninjas are ruthless and will stop at nothing. No matter how powerful you are, if you lose, you lose, and there's nothing to argue about.

"But Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha from the other world didn't die, so is that why Kagami Uchiha followed them?"

Tobirama Senju tried to comfort himself, but looking at the intelligence before him, his expression twisted somewhat.

He was really puzzled. Could this be the true strength of Uchiha Izuna?

Thinking about my current situation, if I were to actually encounter Uchiha Izuna, the situation would probably be extremely dire.

"But why is that guy still alive?"

Tobirama Senju couldn't help but murmur, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Could it be that I lost in another world?"

"It's not impossible. After all, who knows what other worlds would be like?"

Hagoromo naturally heard Tobirama Senju's words, and he immediately revealed a wicked smile.

"Perhaps in another world, it's you who was killed by him."

"."

"Then Konoha was established, and Madara Uchiha became Hokage, the Second Hokage."

"."

"Maybe Madara Uchiha planned to conquer the entire ninja world, but your older brother refused and used his strength to steal all the tailed beasts, becoming the number one rogue ninja in the ninja world."

"."

"That's why they used the Dragon Vein and ended up in this world. It seems like they were targeting Jinchuriki, but they didn't kill them. Maybe it was to gather the power of the Tailed Beasts."

Yuri spoke with a wicked grin, and every word she uttered pierced Tobirama Senju's heart. Even Minato and Koharu Utatane, who were standing nearby, looked somewhat embarrassed.

The Fifth Hokage, Yuzhi, is so unconventional; she dares to say anything!

But they had to admit that there seemed to be some truth to what Yuzhi had said!

"It seems they haven't really launched any major offensives against Konoha."

Although Jiraiya had been thinking about Konan's problem, he was also really attracted by Haori's words. This guy was also a bit of a rogue, and he suddenly spoke up after stroking his chin.

"The last time we encountered Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha, they were quite ruthless towards Onoki, but they didn't seem to be as harsh on us."

Judging from everything Uchiha Izuna did to Kirigakure, if he had really gone all out, Kakashi and I would probably be dead already. He was just controlling the tailed beasts.

"And the last time they appeared, it seems, was during the war with Iwagakure."

Shisui's eyes lit up. He suddenly saw an opportunity to clear his grandfather's name, and he didn't care about anything else.

"Although we didn't participate this time, many people noticed that Konoha and Iwagakure are not far apart."

However, they actively attacked the direction of Iwagakure, completely refraining from any attacks on Konoha, and even deliberately avoiding some of their attacks.

"Senior, they clearly don't want to harm the ninjas of Konoha!"

Upon hearing this, Haori's lips twitched slightly, and Hikaru pursed her lips as well.

Well, so they just let the fact that they didn't attack Konoha get away with it like that?

The haori actually said that just to disgust Tobirama Senju on purpose, who knew it would have such an effect?

"Enough, stop talking nonsense!"

Tobirama Senju had completely lost his composure; he never expected that this matter could be interpreted in this way.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find any results to refute it, because according to the way Yuzhi described it, it seemed that everything could really go in this direction!

If he dies, his elder brother will probably remember him, but he will still establish Konoha for the sake of all living beings.

He would still give up fighting for the sake of the ninja world, but without his help, his older brother probably couldn't beat Uchiha Madara. Moreover, his older brother once wanted Uchiha Madara to become Hokage.

"If that's the case, and Madara Uchiha really became the First Hokage, then he would definitely be thinking about conquering the ninja world, and Big Brother..."

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, especially considering what was happening in Konoha. He really felt that it wasn't impossible!

"Could it be that my older brother really became like that in the other world?"

Tobirama Senju's lips twitched involuntarily; for a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

With or without him, his older brother might have gone in a completely different direction!

What he found hard to accept and was extremely annoyed by was...

"Am I really dead? What have those evil Uchiha clans done?!"

-

Are you sure you want to do this?

In the Land of Rain, Nagato listened to the pattering rain outside the window, and for a moment, he was somewhat dazed by Obito's presence.

He had a feeling that Obito might be a little out of his mind.

Putting aside the fact that Uchiha Haori's strength was on par with Uchiha Madara's, his Flying Thunder God technique alone proved that he was not the kind of person who could be easily killed!

Moreover, as a Kage, the consequences of Uchiha Haori's death would be extraordinary.

Look at the consequences of the Third Raikage's death during the Third Shinobi World War. Iwagakure, which was originally fighting Konoha to the death, had a pretty good chance of winning.

Because Konoha was already at its last gasp at that time, if they had held on any longer, Konoha might have been defeated. But Kumogakure instantly turned its guns around and formed a pincer movement with Konoha.

Iwagakure realized they couldn't continue, which allowed Konoha to ultimately emerge victorious!

Now Obito is actually thinking of attacking the Hokage. Doesn't he consider the consequences?

"It's settled. Now it's up to you what you think."

Obito nodded directly, his gaze deep and unfathomable. He looked quietly at Nagato and spoke slowly.

"The Uchiha Haori brings too many unknowns, and these unknowns have an extremely negative impact on our future actions."

If it could be eliminated in advance, I think anyone would try it, especially since both Kirigakure and Akatsuki have a grudge against Konoha.

Even if we do this, it will be with good reason and evidence. Besides, don't forget I'll give you something else.

At this point, Obito took a deep breath, his voice becoming low as he stared at Nagato.

"You should have experienced the wonder of that potion. It is extremely precious, but I will not be stingy with it."

Think it over carefully: would you rather be paralyzed for life, dying with a catheter in your throat, or take a gamble, overcome the obstacles, and ultimately make history?

"."

Nagato admitted that Obito's words did indeed tempt him, but it wasn't the promises Obito made that tempted him; it was the white potions!

Those powers could strengthen his body and allow him to gradually return to normal, which was what Nagato desired most.

As for the others, after Nagato learned that he was not Madara Uchiha at all, he no longer wanted to pay any attention to him.

After all, this is a fake. It's only because he's easier to fool that Nagato would only interact with the real one and wouldn't pay any attention to this idiot in front of him!

Looking at Obito before him, Nagato pondered for a long time before suddenly asking in a low voice.

"What is your relationship with Kirigakure? Can you control Kirigakure?"

"Kigakure is mine!"

Obito raised his head slightly and spoke with a hint of pride, a gesture that made Nagato raise an eyebrow.

Perhaps this guy inherited Kirigakure from Madara Uchiha, or from that "real deal"?

But in any case, having the Hidden Mist as a cover seems like a good option, at least it won't completely expose the problems of their Akatsuki organization!

Nagato genuinely distrusted Obito; he firmly believed that Obito's existence, despite his idiocy, was merely a cover for those behind him.

After all, acting so stupid might lower other people's guard against the person behind him.

"Since Kirigakure is yours, then leave behind the necessary paperwork, such as hiring us."

Although Nagato was thinking about other things, he spoke calmly. Having controlled the Land of Rain for so many years, he knew how to leave necessary "traces" in certain matters.

"Written documents, the flow of funds—all of these must be meticulously recorded. And all of this should be done on the black market to avoid being traced back to anything. Do you understand?"

"You're being so cautious, do you not trust me, and think I'm doomed to lose?"

Upon hearing this, Obito frowned and asked with displeasure.

It's not that I think you're doomed to lose, it's just that I don't trust you.

Nagato snorted inwardly, but shook his head and spoke calmly.

"This is simply to prevent some unnecessary trouble. Since you've controlled the Hidden Mist for so long, you should know the necessity of doing this. Do you need me to explain it to you?"

"Hmph, no need."

Obito was convinced that Nagato didn't trust him at all, but he was too lazy to argue with him.

Whether he trusted him or not didn't matter, since he had never trusted Nagato anyway. Besides, in his eyes, Nagato was just a tool, and no matter how careful he was, he couldn't change that fate.

"I'll go back and prepare; you should prepare too."

"Have you forgotten something?"

Seeing Obito patting his behind and about to leave, Nagato shook his head and asked.

"Since you want me to do something, shouldn't you give me the things first?"

I can't accept giving it to me later, especially since I'm facing Uchiha Haori, and my current condition is seriously affecting my fighting ability.

so."

At this point, Nagato paused slightly before looking at Obito and continuing.

"You wouldn't want my stinginess to prevent me from unleashing my full potential, leading to mission failure, would you?"

"."

-

Time flies, and before we knew it, a month had quietly passed.

As Yuki sat in the Hokage's office looking at the documents in her hands, she couldn't help but think about other things.

Even Yuri herself didn't expect that what she made up could actually be described as "reasonable" and "logical".

He genuinely wanted to disgust Tobirama Senju, since that guy was known for his constant talk of "evil Uchiha," so who else would he want to disgust if not Tobirama?

But things often turn out differently than expected; at least Yuzhi himself didn't expect that his fabricated ideas would actually be accepted.

"But thinking about it carefully, it seems that if the person who died was Tobirama Senju, then the evolution of the other world might really have followed the nonsense I just made up?"

After all, the personalities of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had already determined that if it had been Tobirama Senju who died, Hashirama Senju, without anyone to advise or help him, would most likely not have become Hokage.

He did have the support of most people, but the problem was that he himself had no intention of becoming Hokage. Without Tobirama Senju's help, how could the other clans possibly defy Madara Uchiha?

Once Madara Uchiha became Hokage, he would naturally fulfill his peace plan, which would naturally be opposed by Hashirama Senju, who had tried to persuade him to give it up.

If things continue like this, it's possible that Hashirama Senju will be the one to betray the village, and Madara Uchiha will have to face Hashirama Senju and the villages he has already established when he conquers the ninja world. He might choose to collect the tailed beasts.

After all, both Tobirama Senju and the Third Hokage had witnessed Madara Uchiha capture the Nine-Tails to deal with Hashirama Senju, so he had the motive and possibility to do so.

"In that case, the First Hokage captured the other tailed beasts ahead of time, which forced Madara Uchiha to think of other ways to collect the tailed beasts, or perhaps their chakra."

"It's not surprising that Madara Uchiha knows Wood Release. Maybe he preserved the First Hokage's cells and is using Konoha to conduct research. After all, someone in our world has done it."

"Furthermore, those people never attacked Konoha's forces, but they were ruthless towards other villages, which seems to confirm some of the issues."

"But why was that mysterious person in our world able to research the First Generation's power to this extent? Could it be that he's backed by those people, or...?"

In short, the destructive power and influence brought about by Yuzhi's nonsense has far exceeded his imagination, and even Obito's secret is about to be guessed!

Fortunately, the people of Konoha were relatively objective. Without substantial evidence, all of this was just speculation, and they had not yet drawn any conclusions.

However, it's true that Tobirama Senju is in a very bad mood right now, and what's most awkward for Hagoromo is...

"I think I used Izuna Uchiha to remind Orochimaru about the Impure World Reincarnation."

Yuzhi couldn't help but grin, but he was too lazy to think about it anymore. It was really hard to say when the Impure World Reincarnation technique was invented.

In the original work, Madara knew about the Impure World Reincarnation even after leaving Konoha for so many years. It's hard to say whether Tobirama Senju invented it when Madara was still in Konoha.

Then Hashirama Senju shared this secret with Madara without hesitation, so Madara also learned this technique.

Of course, it's also possible that after Banrun became active, he used White Zetsu to investigate; anything is possible.

"At worst, I'll just say that this technique was invented by Uchiha Izuna. If he's not convinced, let Senju Tobirama use another Flying Thunder God Slash! I don't believe he can use it now!"

Yuzhi steeled her heart and decided she didn't want to think about these messy things anymore.

"You've really gotten into the habit of talking nonsense, haven't you? You can spout any kind of gibberish, can you?"

Just as Yuzhi was pondering to herself, Hikaru strolled into the office and looked at Yuzhi with displeasure.

"Kakashi, step aside."

When Yuzhi saw the light, he smiled slightly and, ignoring her gasp, pulled her into his arms. However, he didn't forget to look up and call out to her.

"Not suitable for children. You should go watch your 'Make-Out Paradise' instead."

"."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kakashi, with a deadpan expression, appeared in the office with a group of Anbu members.

They bowed slightly, then lowered their heads and pretended not to have seen anything, before turning around and silently leaving the office.

However, these people couldn't help but think to themselves: Is this another side of the Fifth Hokage?

"You debauched bastard, how could you be Hokage?"

Light was a little hard to hold back, and she muttered a curse under her breath while sitting in Yuzhi's lap.

"Excessively licentious?"

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

"You want to try it? Perfect, I'd like to try it in the office too."

"Shut up!"

"Oh"

She dared not move rashly, and seeing the shame and anger in his eyes, she stopped acting recklessly.

He formed a hand seal with one hand, creating a soundproof barrier, before speaking in a low voice with a smile.

"Although it's nonsense, it's still reasonable. After all, it explains why we didn't attack Konoha, doesn't it?"

Besides, look at everyone else; they all agree with this idea, even that evil old devil with a thousand hands, and Shisui is overjoyed right now.

"To me, he's nothing more than an evil thousand-armed brat. Besides, he doesn't seem as evil as you, does he?"

Just one glance at Yuzhi, and reflecting on what Yuzhi had done to her, made her feel both amused and exasperated.

This guy knows he's over a hundred years older than him, yet he completely ignores it. What kind of person is that?

But upon closer reflection, she seemed to know that Yuzhi was over a hundred years younger than her, yet she still couldn't suppress these feelings.

"Am I evil too?"

Hikaru pursed her lips, because she seemed to remember that Hagoromo had called those who forcibly turned her into the "ultimate weapon" "evil old Uchiha devils".

"What's wrong?"

Haori Mitsuki suddenly fell silent, and he couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"fine."

Hikari shook her head, thought about what Yuri had said to her later, especially that this guy said he would go back to the past to find her, and then she stopped thinking about these questions.

She trusted Yuzhi in her heart, or rather, in this world, she would only trust this guy without reservation.

"By the way, what are your plans regarding the Daimyo? I heard that Kakashi and the others had a very difficult trip this time."

"It's normal for things not to go smoothly; the daimyo will never easily agree to our ideas."

Yuzhi smiled, not caring at all about the result.

"Perfect, we can deal with them all at once when the time comes. After all, this world is a ninja world."

No matter how powerful the secular elites are, the balance of power shifted the moment the ninja village was established.

Respecting them is simply respecting tradition, but that doesn't mean they can continue to ride on our heads.

Although Danzo was a damned lunatic, his attitude towards these worldly nobles was still worth learning from.

In Hagoromo's memory, Danzo seemed to have given the daimyo just one look that nearly scared him to death, and he didn't dare to utter a single word afterward.

This is the kind of attitude a ninja who has wielded worldly power should have, even if he is indeed mentally ill.

"However, compared to the daimyo's situation, I am most concerned about the situation in Kirigakure."

Haori hugged Hikari and spun her around, making sure Hikari was facing her. However, just as she was about to bury her head in Hikari's arms, Hikari blocked her with her hand.

Although somewhat disappointed, Yuzhi continued speaking with a smile.

"After all this time we've been pretending, it's time we took some action."

"Tch, why do you have to pretend like that?"

Guang gave a soft hum, but she was also somewhat eager to try.

After the Third Hokage returned, Kakashi was taken to do experiments. He himself didn't have any bad feelings about becoming the "Haori Substitute" and agreed without hesitation.

His injection was still very small, after all, many things were uncertain, and he was observed for half a month after the injection.

As it turns out, even with a small amount injected, Kakashi's Sharingan was replenished, and his body was also enhanced to some extent!

However, he was weak for more than half a month. Fortunately, everything was fine. It was because of Kakashi's experiment that the Third Hokage and the others felt at ease letting Hagoromo and the others carry it out.

This also put Yuzhi and the others in a difficult position, as their bodies were already filled with these White Zetsu cells, and they needed to pretend to be weak.

"Alright, don't worry, there are quite a few enemies this time. I think you can get some rest."

Yuzhi held Hikari and said softly, though his tone was somewhat sarcastic.

"Me too. Honestly, becoming Hokage has made many things more troublesome. If I didn't know the Wood Clone Technique, I really wouldn't be able to escape."

Becoming Hokage naturally makes one the focus of the entire village. Everything he does is likely to be interpreted, not to mention that it would be troublesome for him to go out and do anything after becoming Hokage.

Fortunately, the Wood Clone Technique is a technique that even Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan cannot see through. With the help of this technique, Hagoromo was able to go out once during the month and meet Konan and Nagato.

These two guys had been wanting to see him for a long time, and after meeting him, they asked him a rather pointed question.

"Who are you? I know you're not Madara Uchiha, but you still deserve a name!"

Haori remained calm in the face of Konan and Nagato's questioning.

"I have never said that I am Uchiha Madara. I am not him and I will never be him. As for who I am, you will find out in the future."

You only need to know one thing: I am not your enemy. At least we will not be hostile until you consider me an enemy.

Of course, even if we were enemies, I wouldn't care; the gap between us is still huge.

Hagoromo's words made Nagato's face turn ugly, and also made Konan, who had just returned to the Land of Rain, look dissatisfied.

But they couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong with it; they all remembered that three years ago, Hagoromo had defeated Nagato in almost a single move.

If this guy really has bad intentions, Nagato won't be able to handle it!

"And don't forget, I never stopped you from reviving Yahiko. What you're pursuing is the same as what I'm pursuing."

Yuzhi held up a finger, shook it gently, and then continued with a smile.

"There may be some differences, but differences don't mean we can't find common ground. I'm not an extreme person; after all, everyone has their own thoughts, right?"

Nagato and Konan both fell silent. The person in front of them had an impeccable demeanor, even though they complained that he claimed he wasn't an extreme person.

However, his ideas and beliefs left Nagato and Konan speechless. Besides, it was with the help of this mysterious person that the Land of Rain had achieved its current development!

Although Nagato was somewhat displeased, he didn't say anything more. Konan, on the other hand, did ask a lot of questions about the Land of Rain and Konoha.

Yuzhi wouldn't be stingy with his help. After all, he's already the Hokage, and helping Konoha is like giving the Land of Rain a share of the spoils, so he wouldn't refuse.

However, Yuzhi didn't forget to remind Konan that she was taking a bit of a risk this time.

"You really shouldn't go to Konoha. Jiraiya has probably already noticed you. You'd better be careful."

"If he dares to come to the Land of Rain, I'll send him on his way!"

Nagato spoke fiercely, while Hagoromo raised an eyebrow.

"Then the fact that the Land of Rain is Akatsuki's base will be exposed. When that happens, Konoha will mobilize all its forces. Do you think you can stop Uchiha Hagoromo?"

"I don't know and I'm not sure, but we can give it a try this time."

Nagato spoke calmly, his fists clenching slightly.

"We'll take action in Kirigakure. Perhaps we can lure Uchiha Haori there then, and test his strength against that Uchiha Madara!"

"."

Yuzhi never expected that he could get such information just by going out casually, but he soon realized that Obito was trying to lure him over.

It's likely that similar intelligence will soon appear on the black market, and Konoha, which already has a grudge against Akatsuki, will probably take action.

"However, Nagato's handling of the situation is indeed much more skillful, at least better than the guy I imagined who only knew how to fight."

Recalling her meeting with Konan and Nagato, Haori couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"After all, others control the entire Land of Rain. Even a brute like him has to grow stronger."

Hikari rolled her eyes at Yuzhi, but she couldn't help thinking that apart from her strength, Yuzhi's other growth wasn't particularly noticeable.

Because this guy has been exceptionally skilled from beginning to end, from seizing power from his family to the police department, and then step by step, he has risen to become the Hokage.

He didn't have much time to adapt; he could start working immediately and even make some necessary modifications to the department.

Sometimes, Hikaru wonders if Yuri is like her, someone who was sealed away for a long time before finally waking up.

It's even possible that a soul or chakra has been attached to a young man, otherwise this guy wouldn't be so skilled, right?

I think I'm overthinking it.

However, she slapped away the hand that kept sliding down behind her again, and then saw Yui, who had successfully ambushed her, burying her head in her arms. She was both amused and exasperated.

If he were that kind of person, how could he be so lecherous? Besides, this guy's perverted quirks don't seem like something an old fox like him would do.

"Be mindful of your image; you're the Hokage, and don't forget the Three Commandments of Ninja!"

Hikaru sighed and gently ruffled Hagoromo's hair.

"Can't the Hokage hug his wife?"

Without looking up, Yuri asked in a muffled voice.

"If this rule exists, I'll have it changed immediately!"

Also, regarding the three prohibitions of ninjas, didn't I already say that I've already given up alcohol?

Hikaru looked at Haori helplessly, she really had nothing to say at this moment, but just then there was a knock on the office door, and then the door was opened.

"Fifth Generation, when are you planning to release it?"

Tobirama Senju led a group of people in. Only he dared to knock on the door and enter without waiting for Haori's response, after all, he was of a high enough seniority.

However, when he came in and saw the scene before him, he was stunned for a moment. Not only him, but the people behind him also looked embarrassed.

However, he couldn't hold back for long. Seeing Yuzhi hugging Hikari without any restraint, he roared angrily.

"You inherently evil Uchiha brat, what are you doing? Is this any way of behaving as a Hokage?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi's eyes widened, and he immediately retorted without hesitation.

"You inherently evil old devil, do you even know how to respect the Hokage? Did I let you in?"

And you truly deserve to be single forever, it's none of your business, are you envious?

-

Inside an underground cave within the Land of Water.

The flickering candlelight on the stone platform caused the shadows in the cave to sway back and forth on the rock walls.

Genji silently handed the intelligence in his hand to Yuri, the Third Generation, and the others, and then stood aside without saying a word.

Yuzhi's personal visit surprised him, and what surprised him even more was that the legendary Second Hokage had actually come back to life.

This was hard for him to believe, but why was the Second Hokage so silent, as if he had suffered a great injustice and humiliation?

Fortunately, Master Yuan wasn't one to gossip, and now wasn't the time to consider these issues, as they had more important things to do.

"That's really detailed."

Minato looked at the intelligence report in his hand and murmured to himself. In his hand was a map of Kirigakure's defenses.

However, they all knew that these defense maps were just for show, since the Hidden Mist already knew that the Yuan Master might be about to make a move.

"Fourth Hokage, you flatter me. If our operation hadn't gone wrong, you wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble to come here."

Master Yuan apologized appropriately, and he seemed genuinely ashamed.

Kisame, Zabuza, Hozuki Mangetsu, and Mei Terumi behind him dared not utter a word, for they already knew what they were about to do tonight.

Mei Terumi really didn't want this to happen, but unfortunately, ninjas often have no choice in what they do, and she simply didn't have the right to refuse.

Fortunately, she didn't like the Fourth Mizukage either, so while she felt pressured doing these things, it wasn't too much of a burden. However, joining forces with Konoha made her somewhat uneasy.

She was genuinely worried that such an alliance might force the village to hand over a large amount of benefits to Konoha!

Her gaze kept drifting to Yuzhi, but unfortunately no one cared what she was thinking. Yuzhi touched her chin before calmly speaking.

"Fifth Mizukage, after everything is over, you will be our ally. Helping our allies is what we should do."

Moreover, that mysterious organization was involved; they planned and executed the Nine-Tails incident. Konoha will not let them off the hook, so don't feel too guilty.

Furthermore, our policies have always been consistent, and we will not take advantage of others' misfortunes.

Please rest assured that as long as you fulfill the alliance treaty, open your markets, and cooperate with us in facing future crises, everything will be fine.

"Thank you, Hokage, but I am not the Mizukage yet. You flatter me."

Only then did Master Yuan's face reveal a smile, and the group of young elites from the Hidden Mist Village behind him also understood Yu Zhi's words.

This put their minds at ease, even Mei Terumi, who was the most worried, as she was genuinely afraid that Konoha would raise the price.

"But this mysterious organization is really troublesome; none of their people are simple characters."

The Third Hokage listened to the conversation between Yuori and Genji with amusement. He knew all too well what Yuori was going to do to Kirigakure, and now that they had their impressions and physical senses, it wasn't a bad thing.

However, now is not the time to think about these things, so he spoke up at the opportune moment.

"We don't know how they will arrange things or what setup they will make, so I think we need to be careful."

"We should definitely be careful, after all, they're the ones who orchestrated the Nine-Tails incident."

Minato was also furious at this moment; he would never forget this incident.

"Let's proceed according to the plan. Although this deployment map may have problems, at least we can get a general idea of ​​what's going on."

Yu Zhi casually shook his head and looked at the people in front of him.

"We'll leave the people of Kirigakure to Yuan Shi and the others, while we in Konoha will deal with the Akatsuki members."

In addition, if you encounter that mysterious Uchiha, please call me or Minato immediately.

That guy is tough to deal with, and most importantly, he has something we need on him.

Everyone, do you understand?

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The members of Konoha immediately spoke up. Since they were outside, even the Third Hokage spoke up. Only the Second Hokage, who was filled with emotion and had only come to watch the show, remained silent.

Yuzhi didn't mind. He turned to look at Yuanshi and asked with a smile.

"Well then, it's time for us to make our move, Fifth Mizukage."

"I understand, Hokage."

"Are those guys coming?"

Inside the Mizukage Building in Kirigakure, Obito and Black Zetsu stood together, gazing at everything below. Obito couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"It should be starting soon. Bai Zetsu and the others have already sensed the presence of strangers, but they dare not approach."

Black Zetsu nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on Obito's arm, and he seemed lost in thought.

"Are the emergency response forces and evacuation forces ready?"

Obito focused his mind and continued to ask.

"Also, are Nagato and the others ready?"

"Don't worry, everything is ready, and Itachi Uchiha is here too."

Black Zetsu nodded, but he couldn't help but think to himself, "Now you know about the troops that are prepared for emergencies and responsible for evacuation?"

If you had known this three years ago, you wouldn't have caused such a big incident in the village, and you wouldn't have driven yourself to this point!

Now things are much better. At least half of the Hidden Mist Village support Master Yuan. If it weren't for the Mizukage's deep-rooted popularity, something terrible would have happened long ago.

However, things have still gone wrong, with even Konoha getting involved. What makes Black Zetsu even more uneasy is that Obito actually used White Zetsu's cells to give to Nagato.

"Things are getting increasingly out of control, Obito, are you seriously insane?"

Black Zetsu was roaring and howling in his heart, but it was all in vain, and there was nothing he could do now that things had come to this.

All he could do was try his best to avoid a complete collapse and prevent Obito from killing them all.

"That's good."

Obito had no idea that he had fallen to rock bottom in Black Zetsu's eyes. He stared intently into the distance and nodded.

But just then, a signal flare suddenly rose into the sky, illuminating the dimly lit Hidden Mist Village shrouded in mist.

Seeing this, Obito clenched his fist and then whispered a command.

"Has it started? Let's begin!"
