Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 42 Who would use illusion to replace reality! (Please continue reading)

In the dead of night, the moonlight is like a song.

Yuki stood in a grove of trees, waiting quietly.

However, he was still somewhat troubled, as Uchiha Hikaru's decision was giving him a real headache.

There are actually quite a few ways to bring people out, after all, leaving Konoha is not as troublesome as entering Konoha.

The problem is, she still wants to return to Konoha with him, which is quite troublesome.

"Fine, if she's going to come out, then let her come out. I'm afraid I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her alone in Konoha."

Yuzhi sighed softly, thinking to herself.

He wasn't actually worried about the Uchiha people discovering her, or the people of Konoha noticing her.

The Uchiha clan has a large population, coupled with factional conflicts and the gap between ninjas and ordinary people.

This results in many family members not actually knowing each other, as long as they hide themselves a little when they go home.

Within the village, even fewer people would pay any attention to an Uchiha.

Moreover, some members of bloodline families do not attend ninja academies; they are trained by their families themselves.

Therefore, it's not surprising if you don't recognize them, as long as you can determine which family they belong to.

However, given her aversion to the ninja system and the Uchiha clan, who knows what might happen if she were left behind?

"So it's good that we're out here. Although going back will be troublesome, it's better than uncertainty."

And now that I think about it carefully, it seems like having Yuzhi come with me isn't a bad choice.

After all, his operation this time was quite dangerous.

If Iwagakure wants to achieve greater results at the negotiating table, then the conflict will likely continue.

He also has to face a group of Mist Ninja, especially since Madara is behind them. With Hikari's Mangekyou Sharingan, he will probably be much safer.

"Although, I don't think she needs to take action."

Thinking of this, Yuzhi felt much better, but just then he suddenly noticed someone coming towards him.

He immediately turned around, and the person who came was Guang.

She came with a caravan, and this was their meeting point.

"Is everything alright?" Yuzhi walked over and asked.

"No problem, those people didn't spot me."

Guang nodded, but then tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Has my decision caused you any trouble?"

"It is a bit troublesome, but it's not a big problem."

Yuzhi smiled and said nonchalantly.

"Is that so?" Hikari's gaze remained fixed on Haori.

"Yes, and thinking about it carefully, my decision was also quite unreliable."

Having figured things out, Yuzhi was very insightful, and he nodded with a smile.

"Leaving you alone in Konoha, in an environment you don't like, how is that any different from those who imprisoned you back then?"

I'm sorry, but as a friend, I think I should ask for your opinion next time instead of making the decision for you directly.

Even Haori herself was stunned by what she heard. She admitted that her actions were somewhat willful, even if she was "caring about her friend".

But she also felt that Yuzhi probably wouldn't be happy, she just didn't expect to get this answer.

"Do you really think so?"

"Otherwise what?" Yuzhi's smile remained unchanged: "Didn't you say yourself that we're friends?"

-

In the underground base of the Land of Grass, Obito is diligently undergoing rehabilitation training.

He had already accepted the bet with Madara, and he absolutely refused to believe that Kakashi and Rin wouldn't recognize him.

They are friends, teammates, and even more so, companions!

He believed that even though he was wearing a mask, they knew each other so well that the possibility of not recognizing each other would never arise.

"Even if Kakashi isn't wearing a mask, I can still recognize him."

Obito thought confidently to himself that although he had never seen what Kakashi looked like when he took off his mask.

After all, Kakashi has always looked the same as he always has since he was a child.

But he still believed he could do it, after all, they were friends!

"But what exactly does that old guy want? And why did he keep me here?"

Obito had always been curious about this matter, even though he was unwilling to admit it, he knew that he was just an insignificant nobody.

At least before that, he was nothing special without activating his Sharingan.

But now that he has these eyes, he believes he is definitely no worse than that bastard Yuzhi, and may even be better!

"Was it because of my eyes?"

Obito couldn't help but ponder, but unfortunately, apart from thinking about his own eyes, he couldn't figure out anything else.

The old man was about to die, and he also had Sharingan.

So, normally, my eyes shouldn't be pleasing to his eyes, right?

"Wait a minute, does this guy have some kind of Sharingan collecting fetish?"

Suddenly, Obito felt a chill, but he quickly shook his head.

Because the old man said that he could leave whenever he wanted, but how could he leave this godforsaken place?

"Oh, you're training again? Your body is recovering really fast. Anyone else would probably still be lying in bed half-dead by now."

Just then, the white Zetsu with the vortex-shaped face suddenly appeared from the wall, and he looked at Obito and said jokingly.

"Tch, it's you."

Obito watched the swirling-faced man move freely and couldn't help but feel envious. If he could do that, he could leave this place.

Of course, he was also curious about why his body recovered so quickly, but he thought it was probably because he missed Kakashi and Rin.

"You just came back from gathering information? What intelligence did you get?"

"There are some things that you care about."

The vortex-faced figure emerged from the wall and then spoke slowly.

"Your two friends, Kakashi and Rin, have already set off. They should arrive here in a while."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this news, Obito was immediately thrilled; this was great news!

He was now even more eager to see the two of them as soon as possible so that he could fulfill his bet with Ban.

However, the thought of Madara made Obito curious about his purpose again, and after thinking for a moment, Obito tentatively asked.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is that old man's plan?"

They want to lock me up here, and they even want to make a bet or something.

Although he was bound to lose, it was such a waste of my time.

After asking the question, Obito sighed helplessly. He didn't think this vortex-faced guy knew anything.

"Oh, I think I know a little about that."

However, to Obito's surprise, the vortex-faced man actually spoke after thinking for a moment.

"Although I don't know much about it, I often hear Madara say this."

The ninja world is the source of chaos, and all sorrow is born in this place.

He sacrificed so much for this ninja world, yet he was constantly betrayed.

Now, he has been forgotten by everyone and has become a truly forgotten person.

So he devised a plan, which he called Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"Infinite...Tsukuyomi?"

Obito was somewhat bewildered when he heard the vortex-faced man's words; he had no idea what they meant.

"Simply put, it's about creating a peaceful world in your dreams, a world without pain, war, or betrayal."

The man with the vortex-shaped face nodded and said with a smile.

"In a dream?" Obito frowned. He felt this was too far-fetched.

"That's right, it was in a dream."

The man with the swirling face shrugged, seemingly naively revealing everything he knew.

"Because it's a dream, everything can be done however you want, and everyone can create this world according to their own ideas."

Whether it's your friends, family, or even your dreams, they can all come true; even the dead can be brought back to life.

Obito listened blankly to the words of the vortex-faced man, speechless for a moment.

This old man actually had such an idea; it truly amazed him.

What kind of betrayal could cause such pain, leading someone to resort to self-deception to achieve their dreams?

Obito didn't know, but he suddenly felt that the old man was actually quite pitiful.

"Don't you think this is a pretty good method?"

Just as he was pondering, the vortex-faced man suddenly leaned over and asked with a curious expression.

"How incredibly stupid! This is just fooling yourself!"

Obito immediately shook his head, thought for a moment, and then laughed disdainfully.

"I'm definitely going to win this bet anyway, who would use such a fantastical method to replace reality!"

"Then you'd better work hard!"

The man with the swirling face pulled his head back before speaking leisurely.

"Obito."
