Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 27 Madara: No one will remember you anymore (Please continue reading)

"Empiricism can sometimes be really harmful."

At Kushina's house, Haori wiped the dust off the surroundings while silently complaining to herself.

Because he finally realized what he had gotten wrong.

This place may be considered the ancestral home of the Uzumaki clan, but it is more than just home to Uzumaki Kushina!

He knew that Kushina Uzumaki was already living with Minato, but he didn't dare to come over because he was worried about running into trouble.

The sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan are something that the entire ninja world envies.

Although it's outrageous, Kushina was kidnapped by Kumogakure when she was a child.

If Minato Namikaze hadn't already been keeping an eye on Kushina and hadn't immediately rushed to her rescue upon realizing something was wrong.

Otherwise, Kushina might have to go to Kumogakure.

Aside from the Kushina incident, Kirigakure actually destroyed the Land of Whirlpools during the Second Shinobi World War.

Thanks to their meticulous farming practices, the population of the Uzumaki clan is now probably almost entirely depleted.

Their purpose was very simple: to obtain the sealing technique.

Even if I can't have it, no one else can have it either. I might as well wipe out the entire Uzumaki clan!

With Mito Uzumaki in charge, Konoha naturally has no shortage of sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan.

However, Yuzhi had a misconception that sealing techniques might be placed here, since the Grim Reaper Mask was left here.

But upon closer reflection, he suddenly realized that he was being quite absurd.

Aside from Orochimaru, it seems no one else knows about the Grim Reaper mask.

Moreover, Mito Uzumaki married Hashirama Senju and had already moved into the Senju household.

Kushina is already living with Minato Namikaze, and it's likely they'll get married after the war.

There's no one here anymore, so how could those treasures belonging to the Whirlpool Clan be left here?

"So, what else is here?"

Yuzhi was somewhat helpless for a moment. What if Konoha took all the good things inside?

Then what's the point of him even looking for a job?

"What's wrong, Hagoromo?"

Kakashi, noticing that Haori seemed somewhat dazed, couldn't help but ask her a question out of curiosity.

"Are you worried about when Kushina-sensei will arrive?"

"No, I was just wondering what kind of teachings the Jonin Kushina would give me."

Yuzhi quickly composed himself and replied with a smile.

He doesn't really care what he's taught; what worries him more now is what he can find.

If he remembered correctly, Kushina should have gone to reinforce the seal.

As a Jinchūriki, Kushina's life wasn't actually that great.

Yuzhi seemed to remember that in the "Minato Den" he had seen before his time travel, Kushina was unable to even leave the barrier.

However, she eventually broke free from her restraints and helped Minato Namikaze complete his training in the Rasengan, which is probably the last time she was able to travel freely.

However, the sealing process cannot be taken lightly, since no village can withstand the power of a tailed beast.

"Is cleaning too boring?"

Kakashi asked with amusement, and then he simply spoke up.

"There's not much left to do, so just leave it to me."

Kushina-sensei has quite a few books here; you can use them to pass the time when you're taking a break.

"Oh?"

Yuzhi blinked and asked casually.

"What kind of things are there?"

"It seems there's only some basic sealing technique information."

Kakashi thought for a moment before speaking. He had helped clean here before, so he was quite familiar with the place.

Moreover, there really wasn't anything important here, so he spoke with peace of mind.

"Of course, there are also some history books, but I think that's about it."

History books?

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi was momentarily stunned, but his eyes quickly lit up slightly.

The sealing technique cannot be left here, since it could determine a village's control over the tailed beast.

However, it's highly unlikely that Konoha will take those family history scrolls!

These scrolls only record the history of the Whirlpool Clan and their former heroes.

With the destruction of the Vortex Clan, these things can only be considered as a memento for the remaining members of the clan.

Besides, they took the most important things, so surely they should have left something behind?

"History books are really good things."

Thinking of this, Yuzhi's heart couldn't help but race.

Although it's unknown how many years the historical books stored here date back, Yuzhi knows roughly the time of that Uchiha Mumei.

The Vortex and the Thousand Hands have always been allies. I just need to find the corresponding time period and see what they have been doing.

Then, perhaps I can find the location of that Uchiha Mumei!

"But, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to be flipping through Kushina's books like this?"

Although Yuzhi was excited, he tried his best to remain calm.

"Historical files are usually important family items. Wouldn't it be impolite for us to browse through them like this?"

"Watch it if you want."

Before Yuzhi could finish speaking, a voice suddenly rang out behind him.

Turning around, I saw that Kushina had already returned.

"Kushina, the Jonin."

"Kushina-sensei".

Haori and Kakashi immediately bowed slightly. Although Kushina was very easygoing, some etiquette still needed to be maintained.

"Alright, no need to be so polite."

Kushina waved her hand dismissively, then looked at the haori.

However, Yuzhi keenly noticed that there seemed to be a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"Go ahead and watch if you want. It's not a big deal. After all, the Uzumaki clan is basically extinct."

It's actually a good thing that some people are willing to remember its history.

-

Inside the underground base in the Land of Grass, Madara looked at Obito, who was gradually waking up, and nodded slightly.

He finally woke up, and he no longer had to listen to the kid constantly repeating things like "Kakashi" and "Rin" in his sleep.

Although he was incredibly annoyed by this kid, Madara was forced to revise his plans because of that one word, "Kakashi."

Overall, he has figured out what he needed to think through.

Having one more person means having one more bond, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Furthermore, when the haori returned to Konoha, he had White Zetsu follow them the whole time, just to see how they were doing.

Now that Bai Jue is back, he has gotten the result he wanted.

Both Kakashi and Nohara Rin seem to have emerged from the shadow of Obito's "death".

And all of this is inseparable from that guy, Yuzhi!

"What a clever kid, but that's for the best."

Madara silently thought to himself, what if Obito discovered that the feelings of the two people he cherished had been replaced by others?

And that person was Haori, whom Obito held a deep prejudice against, so everything became simple!

"After all, no one will remember you anymore, no one will care about you anymore."

Even the people you cherish most are like this; would you still like a world like that?

Madara looked at Obito calmly, a smile appearing on his face.

"Where is this?"

Just as Madara Uchiha was pondering, Obito finally weakly opened his only remaining right eye.

Am I dead?

Obito murmured softly, his memory still stuck on the moment he was buried under the boulder.

"ah"

Suddenly, he let out a scream, as if a piercing pain came from the right side of his body.

He tried to struggle, but found that his right side was completely wrapped up without any gaps, making it impossible for him to move.

"You're awake?"

Just as he was feeling most confused and in pain, a voice, with a hoarse quality characteristic of the elderly yet possessing a unique rhythm, suddenly rang in his ears.

"This is the chasm between the underworld and reality. It seems you have risen from the ashes, Uchiha clansman."
