Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 82 Good Guy Obito (10,000-word chapter)

Why haven't you summoned me yet?

"How would I know? I'm just a shadow clone."

"."

In the plaza, while chatting and celebrating the New Year's Festival with Kakashi and the others, Yui quietly asked the shadow clone of light beside her a question.

In fact, not only Hikaru was aware of being observed, but Haori herself was also clearly aware of it.

The fact that they couldn't find any trace of the other person kept them from making a fuss, and they were quietly waiting for that guy to appear.

Yuzhi had already guessed who the visitor might be. The fact that they were being spied on so invisibly and without a trace meant that the visitor was probably someone who had mastered spatial powers.

"It's Obito, as expected. But why is he targeting Hikaru? Could it be..."

Although Obito's focus on the light made Hagoromo somewhat uncomfortable, upon closer reflection, it didn't seem surprising at all.

Hikaru once used the Mangekyou Sharingan in front of Madara Uchiha's informants, and he would surely have told Obito this information before he died.

But Obito just ran right up to him like that, wasn't he being a little too disrespectful?

"Although I have great faith in the power of light, I'll still go and take a look. It's quite convenient anyway."

The Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed very difficult to learn, but with her spatial talent, Haori didn't find it too difficult to learn.

He Ke himself had mastered sealing techniques, so inscribing curse marks was not difficult for him.

Of course, his skill level can't compare to Minato Namikaze's, but completing the crossing is still a breeze for him.

"What, don't you trust me?"

The shadow clone of light seemed to sense something and asked a question with amusement.

"This isn't about being worried; it's about caring."

Yuzhi was very eloquent; he smiled and casually replied.

"Moreover, the fact that the other party was able to evade our detection indicates that he must have mastered spatial magic."

With me around, at least we can be sure there won't be any problems, right?

"Whatever you want, but you might be underestimating me."

Guang blinked, and she also smiled.

"Spatial magic is difficult to deal with, but it also depends on the specific situation."

Hikari appeared very confident, and it seemed that she didn't care too much about Obito's threat.

However, Yuri knew very well that Obito was about to grow into the hidden boss who killed Minato and Namikaze and instantly killed the Third Hokage's Anbu.

Even though Haori felt that encountering Obito wouldn't be too difficult, it was never wrong to be cautious.

With that thought in mind, Yuzhi quietly walked behind Hikari and then released a shadow clone under the cover of the fireworks in the sky and the light.

He then swiftly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive beside the light, and the blazing flames instantly descended, sweeping away the winter chill with their intense heat.

As Yuri gazed at the scene before him, for some reason, a phrase came to his mind—

"As soon as I arrived, I saw Chang Wei hitting Lai Fu."

-

"Where did you come from, you lunatic?"

Guang spoke in a nonchalant tone, but the disdain in her eyes was undisguised.

When Obito saw this scene and heard what Hikaru said, he felt his breath catch in his throat.

For some reason, he suddenly felt like he was a clown.

The last time I went to help Kakashi and Rin, although something went wrong and Rin almost died, I was genuinely there to save them.

But from that point on, he was ignored by everyone and also hated by everyone!

No matter what he did, it was all in vain. It was as if any matter involving the haori was destined to end in failure.

Why does this happen? Why does it always happen? Why is it always like this?

Obito couldn't help but start thinking three things at once, while Hikaru had already entered battle mode.

She would never let go of this guy who was disturbing her peaceful life and who was likely to spread nonsense that would affect Yuzhi!

"There's no need to call Yui over for now. I remember this guy fought Yui before, and Yui even won."

Hikaru's gaze turned dangerous. If Haori could win, why couldn't she?

"Fire Release: Great Fire Wall Technique!"

While Obito was still wallowing in self-pity, Hikaru had already completed the hand seals in an instant.

A violent fire jutsu burst forth instantly, like a wall of fire rushing straight at Obito!

"snort!"

Obito snapped out of his daze, snorted coldly, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll take your eyes!"

He didn't flinch at all in the face of the raging flames, but simply stared coldly at the light.

"Without a physical form, do you use spatial abilities to avoid damage?"

Although she had memories of Yuri's last battle with this guy, it was only from a distance.

To understand the specific details, you need to try it yourself; combining this with memorization will give you a greater chance of success.

Swah——

At that moment, Obito took out a string of iron chains, and the next instant, he suddenly rushed out.

"A physical fight? But his speed is way too slow!"

She raised an eyebrow, gave a soft snort, and quickly rushed forward.

However, after just one exchange, she frowned again, because her attack was still not on a physical object.

However, she remained vigilant at all times, remembering that she had been careful of the guy's attacks while fighting him.

As expected, the moment they first made contact and passed each other, she quickly dodged Obito's next attack.

Moreover, this time she clearly felt the sound of the wind caused by the chains, which can only mean one thing.

"It's a physical entity now!"

With her eyes burning with intensity, it was clear she had witnessed Hagoromo's battles firsthand, and combined with her own experience, she seemed to understand Obito's abilities.

If that's the case...

As the iron chain drew ever closer, Hikaru swiftly dodged and suddenly flicked the kunai in his hand.

In an instant, Obito's chains were deflected in one direction, and at that same moment, she pulled out an explosive tag with her left hand and grabbed Obito's wrist!

Unfortunately, the light missed its target, and Obito immediately entered the Kamui dimension after his attack failed.

"I think I understand your abilities a little better now."

Hikari didn't care that her attack was dodged. She quickly leaped away to create some distance and looked indifferently at Obito in front of her.

"If I'm not mistaken, your ability should allow you to hide within another dimension, only revealing your true form at the moment of attack, right?"

Obito didn't reply to these words, but his expression changed beneath the mask!

Who exactly is this woman?

Why was she able to grasp her own abilities after just one exchange?

"Did Uchiha Hagoromo tell you?"

Suddenly, Obito seemed to remember something and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Haori didn't say, and actually he didn't need to say, because I've witnessed your battle."

Guang gently shook her head, her expression remarkably calm, though the kaleidoscope in her eyes began to spin slightly.

"Looks like you're nothing more than a rat hiding in the sewers, already going mad, nothing more."

Hikaru was clearly a pure Uchiha, and when he turned on his taunting mode, he showed absolutely no mercy.

Obito, who was already filled with anger, turned completely red-hot at this moment.

Looking back on the time since he was replaced by Hagoromo and forgotten by everyone, he felt like a rat in the sewers, without even his own identity, and could only use Madara's identity.

Even though he had already decided in his heart that this fake Obito was dead, he couldn't bear that someone who was close to Hagoromo looked down on him like this!

"So what if you know? What can you do about it?"

Obito roared hysterically, and suddenly charged forward again!

"I told you, I want your eyes!"

"What a lunatic..."

Hikari shook her head. She felt that this person was seriously ill, although according to Yuzhi, this kind of person was suitable to be watched as amusement.

But when you actually encounter someone like that, you're not going to be happy.

Seeing Obito rapidly approaching, Hikaru already had a plan in mind. As he dodged the swinging chains, Hikaru quickly counterattacked with kunai.

What she needs to do now is to determine when the guy in front of her will be his real self.

Hikaru seemed to handle Obito's attacks with ease, but strictly speaking, she felt that Obito's physical combat skills were really not good.

The attack movements were irregular and slow.

If it weren't for her ability to constantly enter other dimensions, this kind of battle wouldn't have required much of her energy.

Actually, you can't really blame Obito. After all, Obito has only improved his eye techniques; he hasn't gained much experience in other areas.

"Looks like I need to create an opening so I'll have a chance to catch him."

As he watched Obito, he quickly thought to himself, while Obito himself grew increasingly agitated with each fight.

"I must seize the opportunity to capture her, even if it means trapping her within my own space!"

He had always considered himself a hunter, but after this battle, he found himself completely helpless against his opponent.

The woman was also wary of his abilities, so she was extra careful with every move, but this made it impossible for him to hit her even once.

This made Obito extremely angry and unable to understand why this woman, who appeared out of nowhere, was so strong.

"And why does this kind of good fortune always seem to happen to Hagoromo? Why?"

Obito's anger grew, and his movements became faster, but the faster he moved, the less disciplined he became.

Suddenly, he noticed that the woman in front of him was moving a little slower, which immediately made his eyes light up!

"A great opportunity!"

Obito quickly swung the iron chain in his hand and fiercely wrapped it around Hikaru's body.

Hikari frowned slightly, paused for a moment, then quickly turned and twisted, dodging the swings of the chains. This was exactly the moment Obito had been waiting for.

In an instant, a twisted vortex appeared beside Hikari, and Obito instantly appeared and grabbed Hikari's wrist.

"Got you!"

Obito was overjoyed, but he dared not delay for a moment. His eyes darted around, and the sense of spatial distortion intensified wildly at that moment.

"I've got you."

However, she paid no attention to the distorted light around her, and even smiled.

"Now we can finally confirm its true identity, so..."

"this"

Obito felt uneasy when he saw that Hikaru seemed completely unconcerned, especially when he saw Hikaru's eyes darting around rapidly.

He knew this woman was preparing some kind of technique, but he didn't want to give up such a rare opportunity, so he immediately accelerated the operation of his divine power.

hum-

However, at this moment, space shifted, and everything in the world seemed to turn grayish-white.

Even the moon in the sky underwent a strange change at this moment, turning into a giant, scarlet Sharingan with the Kaleidoscope of Light engraved on it!

"Illusion?"

Obito's face darkened at the sight, but he quickly revealed a mocking expression.

"Aren't you being naive? It's all a kaleidoscope; do you really think your power will work on me?"

Whether it's effective or not isn't up to you to decide, it's up to me.

Hikaru calmly shook her head, seemingly not taking Obito too seriously.

"Your abilities are impressive, but you seem to only have one eye. Even if you can escape Tsukuyomi, guess what happened to you in reality?"

These words caused Obito's expression to change drastically!

"I think your eye haori would be interested, even if there's only one."

While rapidly mobilizing his chakra, Hikaru didn't forget to activate the Uchiha's passive ability.

The light alone was enough to completely overwhelm Obito!

Haori, haori, it's always haori, it's always this person.

No matter who it is, they're all talking about him!

Whether it's Rin, Kakashi, or this woman in front of them who was clearly deceived by Haori, it's all the same.

Even these past few days, while investigating the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he noticed that his former teacher, Minato Namikaze, was exceptionally friendly towards Haori.

His story is being told throughout Konoha!

"I must destroy this world! I must destroy this false world with haori!"

He roared and howled, unleashing his power with reckless abandon.

Although he only has one eye, he also has the vortex-faced White Zetsu on his body, and he himself possesses White Zetsu cells.

With the burst of power, almost before light could do anything within Tsukuyomi, he had already expanded the entire Tsukuyomi world!

"You're dreaming!"

The moment Obito broke free from Tsukuyomi, he roared furiously, but the next moment his expression changed instantly.

"Watch out, Obito!"

The vortex-faced man also shouted a warning in his ear, because the black flames had already swirled into his divine space!

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing this, Obito immediately severed the attraction of his Kamui and entered the Kamui dimension.

Although the Amaterasu Flames had just been absorbed, the Divine Might Space was his territory, and he could adjust his position as he pleased.

"You're quite capable, coming out so quickly?"

Hikaru calmly looked at Obito; she had long since escaped Obito's control.

"You're quite capable, managing to get this old man into that situation, but that's where you go!"

Obito's face was sullen beneath his mask. Although he was still shaken, he still uttered harsh words.

"Yeah?"

Guang shook his head slightly, making hand seals as he spoke casually.

Are you really sure you're in your alternate dimension?

"What do you mean?"

Obito suddenly had a bad feeling, but before he could think any further, Hikaru had already released his ninjutsu!

A barrage of fire-based attacks illuminated the night sky, and a violent aura swept in, bringing with it a cloud of dust.

"What's going on?"

Obito didn't want to dodge, but when he felt that terrifying heat, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Why am I not within the Divine Might Space?"

boom--

With a deafening roar, Obito was instantly engulfed in flames!

"What happened? Why is this happening?"

As Obito watched his entire body engulfed in flames, he was clearly caught in a state of shock, anger, and bewilderment.

I clearly used Kamui, so why is this happening?

"Am I still trapped in an illusion?"

Obito endured the scorching flames and leaped backward as quickly as he did so. At the same time, he formed hand seals, and a huge tree blocked his way.

He was still a little dazed; he could no longer tell whether it was a reality or an illusion.

"Obito, your wrist..."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind; it seemed to be the voice of the vortex-faced man.

"wrist?"

Obito looked at the black flames that suddenly appeared on the tree, and quickly glanced down at his wrist.

Suddenly, he saw a strange mark, and this mark was slowly emitting a light—

"Hurry up, don't delay."

"Seriously, how could something like this happen at the New Year's Festival?"

Under the hazy moonlight, countless Konoha ninjas rushed towards the high platform.

They were celebrating the arrival of the New Year festival, but no one expected that a fire would break out not far from them.

Such flames, no matter how you look at them, do not seem to have appeared by accident; they seem more like the result of a battle.

They just couldn't understand who could be fighting in the village at this time.

"Water Release: Water Bullet Technique!"

"Water escape, water formation wall!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Technique!"

The ninjas who arrived first have begun rescue efforts, using water-style techniques to control the intense fire.

Fortunately, the fire was not far from the square, so they arrived quickly.

Before long, even the Third Hokage was alerted. He arrived with Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, while Jiraiya also arrived with Minato Namikaze.

"What happened?"

Looking at the ever-burning flames, the Third Generation felt a bit overwhelmed, but when he saw the huge tree in the flames, his expression immediately turned serious.

"Lord Hokage, we don't know either."

One of the Jonin who was there for the rescue shook his head helplessly; it was already like this when he arrived anyway.

"Who arrived first?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin and suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"It's a haori and a scorching sunflower."

The Jonin glanced at Haori and Hikaru, who were watching the show from the sidelines, pursed his lips, and spoke.

He didn't blame Yuzhi and the others for not helping; after all, having two Uchiha put out the fire was less desirable than letting them start it themselves.

However, he also wondered if it was caused by the two sparring, since he had watched the Jonin Exams this time.

"Haori-kun, Kiri-kun, what's this?"

Minato Namikaze and Hagoromo have a good relationship, so he asked curiously upon hearing this.

"Let's talk over there."

The Third Hokage rubbed his temples, then immediately interrupted Minato.

Haori and Hikaru didn't seem to mind. They nodded and walked to the side together.

They quickly arrived at a corner, and the members of the Dark Guard swiftly sealed off the surrounding area.

"Haori, is that guy who knows Wood Release here?"

The third generation leader glanced at the people around him, then asked directly.

Before Yuzhi could even speak, he suddenly noticed that his system panel had refreshed.

This surprised him slightly, but then he chuckled to himself.

"Yeah, it's that guy from the Land of Grass."

He nodded decisively, and then began to spout nonsense, seemingly true but actually false.

"Actually, we noticed a few days ago that someone seemed to be watching us, but we hadn't been able to find them."

He only found us today because he gave himself away; it turned out he seemed to be deliberately drawing our attention, and then a fight broke out between them.

Upon hearing this, Hikaru glanced at Yuori and realized that Yuori's ability to spout nonsense seemed rather frightening.

"Were you keeping an eye on Haori and the others? Deliberately drawing them in before making your move?"

Upon hearing these words, the Third Hokage and the others were momentarily speechless, and then their expressions became serious.

The Uchiha clan's tumultuous history has been a source of deep anxiety for them for so many years, because those Uchiha people were too extreme!

They've gone to such extremes that even learning from the second generation would be difficult for them; of course, this also reflects their own lack of ability.

However, now that a "normal person" has finally appeared in the Uchiha clan, and there are bonds everywhere in Konoha.

They also began to focus on supporting him, and Minato, the future fourth-generation leader, planned to make him his future team.

How can they feel at ease when such a scene unfolds at this time?

"Next time something like this happens, I hope you'll let us know."

Minato Namikaze's expression also turned serious, and he spoke with utmost earnestness.

"Although Yuri-kun and Ying-kun are powerful, we are together, and we will help you no matter what."

"That's right, Haori, you should tell us next time instead of taking the risk yourself."

The third generation leader nodded in agreement. He was also furious and wondering who was planning to sabotage the whole thing.

Could it be Danzo again?

He glanced around and noticed that only Danzo and Orochimaru were absent.

"Haori, did that guy tell you who he is?"

Jiraiya actually knew the ins and outs of this, but he had no interest in it at all. He glanced around before asking a question.

No.

Haori shook her head, but Hikaru almost rolled her eyes.

Yes, okay! He said his name was Uchiha Madara?

"However, we all noticed that this guy not only possesses Wood Release, but also..."

After thinking for a moment, Yuri spoke with considerable hesitation.

"Furthermore, his eyes appear to be Sharingan."

"What?"

Yuzhi's words completely broke the tension of everyone present.

With Sharingan, Wood Release, and extremely strong stealth abilities, who exactly is this guy?

Could it really be Danzo?

At that moment, apart from Minato Namikaze, the others glanced at the Third Hokage without leaving a trace, and the Third Hokage's face turned even darker.

But at this moment, he was genuinely starting to have doubts.

Although these people are wary of the Uchiha, they are still cautious and restrained in their attitude towards the Uchiha.

Minato is not Itachi Uchiha; he would likely have revealed some information before his death.

However, this information likely refers to Madara not finishing the sentence "Beware of the Uchiha" before he died.

Danzo, on the other hand, was extremely radical, always thinking about how to eliminate all the troubles.

Moreover, was Danzo truly conducting experiments with Wood Release, or was he doing so with Orochimaru?

"We are aware of this."

The third generation leader rubbed his temples and said with a slight headache.

"We will investigate this thoroughly. Such a shameless person cannot be allowed to run rampant in Konoha any longer."

The Uchiha clan needs to be on high alert. If you need the Anbu, you can contact Minato or me.

Furthermore, the reconstruction of the Uchiha clan needs to be accelerated; at the very least, we cannot allow anyone to enter without being discovered.

This time he encountered you, and you are strong enough to handle it, but it's hard to say what will happen next time when they deal with others.

Konoha will provide more support and assistance to help you accomplish all of this, but there's something I want to say.

"Third Generation, please speak."

When Yuzhi heard how generous the Third Hokage was, he knew he had made a good deal and that the mission was now a sure thing!

"I hope this matter will remain confidential and not be discussed outside the company, at least not casually now."

Wood Release is extremely important to Konoha, and the Sharingan is the most important thing your clan possesses.

Therefore, until the investigation is complete, we...

"Just like in the Land of Grass, right?"

Yuzhi said with a smile, then nodded.

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

"You've had a tough time, encountering something like this during the New Year festival."

The third generation chuckled, reached out and patted Haori on the shoulder, then said something meaningful.

"Keep up the good work. I'm about to retire, and being able to enjoy my old age is something I never dreamed of."

I look forward to you and Minato creating a better future.

The meaning behind this statement is already very clear!

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado exchanged a glance, but they didn't say anything, since some things had already been decided.

Jiraiya chuckled and nodded at Hagoromo, then put his hand on his disciple's shoulder, while Minato Namikaze also wore a broad smile.

He whispered to Hagoromo as the Third Hokage left with his two assistants.

"Please continue to guide me in the future, Haori-kun."

"I also ask for your guidance, Minato-senpai."

Yuzhi smiled and then asked in a somewhat teasing tone.

"Do I need to change my tune now?"

"No need, and we won't need to in the future either. This is better."

Minato Namikaze immediately shook his head, but just as he and Jiraiya were about to leave, he suddenly winked at Haori and Hotaru.

"Keep it up, you two!"

"Don't try to hurt the haori. The haori is so popular, how could it be like you?"

Jiraiya chuckled and playfully patted Minato's head before the two of them quickly left.

Obito probably never dreamed that his unexpected appearance would bring so many benefits!

"You're really good at talking nonsense."

After everyone, including the Anbu, had left, Guangcai suddenly chuckled and cursed softly.

"I realized I was fooled by you back then, and I really don't have any good solutions, because everyone can be fooled by you."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not lying."

Hearing this, Yu Zhi couldn't hold back. He glared at Hikaru before speaking in a low voice.

"This is information that has been slightly concealed and presented in a guiding manner."

Anyway, that's roughly how things are, and they have the right to know some things and the right not to know others.

I have the right to speak, and the right not to speak.

Speak like a human.

"I told them everything, although I concealed some things, but it's all true. What they think is their business."

Yuzhi was a little disappointed; he wanted to say a few more long and complex sentences, but he was interrupted like that.

Are you trying to steer their thinking in a different direction?

Guang understood this moment, and then asked with amusement.

"Is someone about to be in trouble?"

"I'm not sure, I probably won't be unlucky, but it's true that guy isn't a good person."

Yuzhi nodded, then glanced at his system's interface and said with a smile.

"Forget it, let's not concern ourselves with their affairs. Anyway, we've already achieved our goal this time, and we have what we needed."

"We taught that guy a lesson, and he'll probably behave himself from now on. Even if he tries to spout nonsense, probably no one will believe him."

The reason why Yuzhi stayed here was naturally to avoid some possible future accidents.

Whether it's the Nine-Tails incident or Obito overhearing Hikaru's words, we must be careful.

This has left an impression on the Third Hokage and the others, so that if Obito does anything in the future, it will be impossible to blame Hagoromo and the others.

Moreover, this time he found Obito's arm!

Unbeknownst to him, Obito had once again acted as a great guy, and a great guy who showered everyone with gold coins.

"By the way, I recently learned a new eye technique. Are you interested?"

"What kind of eye technique?"

"A dōjutsu that can control tailed beasts."

Yu Zhi smiled and looked at his system panel.

[A new side quest has been obtained]

1. Tell everyone the truth about Obito.

2. Concealing the truth about Obito and framing others.

[Rewards unknown]

[Completed: Concealing the truth about Obito and framing others]

[Reward: Tailed Beast Control Technique]

-

Although the New Year's Festival was disrupted by Obito's sudden appearance, it caused some minor mishaps.

But this didn't affect everyone's mood. After fighting for so long, can't we relax a little?

What followed was naturally more music and dancing, as everyone celebrated the passing of the tumultuous forty-seven years of Konoha.

Haori and Hikari returned to Kakashi and the others, and thankfully no one asked what had happened.

Of course, even if you ask them, they'll have excuses to brush you off.

"Haori, Ying, this is a gift from your Jonin."

As the New Year's bells rang, Lin smiled and presented two of them to the two of them.

"Congratulations on becoming Jonin. The gifts aren't anything expensive, but I hope you like them."

"Thank you, Lin."

Yuzhi accepted it without hesitation. The gift from Rin was a medical ninja kit. Although it was technically useless to him, it was still a token of the young girl's good intentions.

"Did you sew this yourself?"

Guang stared at Lin's hand for a while before asking a question.

"Please refrain from commenting if your skills are lacking."

"No, this is one of the best gifts I've ever received."

Lin spoke somewhat shyly, but before she could finish, Guang interrupted her with a smile, took the medical kit, and hung it on his waist. Only then did Guang speak solemnly.

"Thank you, Lin. I will always keep it with me."

Seeing this, Yuzhi couldn't help but nod slightly. If it weren't for the existence of someone as warm and kind as Rin, it would be a great relief.

He didn't have any good way to get Hikaru to listen to him when he was filled with extreme emotions, and to try to integrate into the family and village.

Although Rin's role may not seem that significant, Haori knows that it is precisely because of Rin's kindness that Hikaru has begun to gradually change herself.

"You're so lucky, why are you so popular?"

Just as Yuzhi was pondering this, Asuma, who was watching the red figure not far away, said with some jealousy.

Kakashi, Guy, and Aoba all glanced at Hikari and Rin, then nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Yuzhi, who was still lost in thought, turned around and glared at Asuma, but then he laughed at himself.

Being popular is never a bad thing.

Moreover, Yuri noticed that Asuma, her former nominal brother, seemed to be getting closer and closer to becoming a true brother.

In fact, Asuma's performance in the original work was always quite good; he was always dissatisfied with some of his father's actions.

It's very likely that he's been refusing to retire for a long time, confident that his decisions are always right, or it could be that his "rebellious son" nature completely erupted after the Hinata incident.

Ultimately, he "betrayed" his own class and turned to serve a powerful figure.

However, things weren't going well for Daimyo either. Although he had some close friends, Daimyo's cowardice and incompetence made him realize that the real "Jade" was still in the village.

Even though he still wasn't quite as happy as his father, he eventually returned after realizing that "the most important thing for the village is not the Hokage."

However, he still always wore the insignia of the "Twelve Guardians" and was diligently doing his job.

Although his genin team is criticized, it seems to be grooming him for the next Hokage.

But strictly speaking, his biggest misfortune, which is that he doesn't fully rely on his father, is probably having a girlfriend named Hong, which is what makes people so unhappy with him.

Yuzhi didn't have any bad intentions towards him. As long as they could be friends, that was fine. Even if they were just superficial brothers, it wouldn't be bad if they became real brothers if the relationship was right.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things at the New Year's Festival."

Yuzhi shook her head, then smiled and said.

"You can't blame me for being popular. After all, good looks are innate. Look at Kakashi, he's popular even with a mask on, isn't he?"

"You bastard."

Kakashi was caught off guard. He had initially tried to shift the blame, but now the haori was being returned to him.

As expected, Asuma glared at him, his resentful expression giving Kakashi a headache.

Fortunately, fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky at that moment, which attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked up at the dazzling fireworks, silently making New Year's wishes for themselves.

Happy New Year, Light.

Haori quietly came to Hikaru's side and whispered something.

"I hope things will get better and better for us in the coming year."

Happy New Year, Haori.

Guang nodded, and looking at the fireworks in the sky, she gave a bright smile.

"Things will definitely get better and better."

-

"Damn it. Who is this damned woman?"

Inside a cave in the dense forest of Konoha Village, the space rippled slightly, and Obito Uchiha fell to the ground.

He was cursing something, and his clothes were still charred black. Most importantly, one of his arms was gone.

He never imagined that he would unknowingly have been marked by that woman.

What makes this mark so terrifying is that it can silently influence him with illusions, making him unable to distinguish whether he is in reality or in an illusion.

This also made him unsure whether he had entered the space, and as a result, he was severely burned by the fire jutsu!

If it weren't for the vortex-faced man's desperate reminder, and his own kaleidoscope ability to offer some protection, he would have truly been burned to death here.

"What kind of technique is this?"

Obito cursed inwardly, unable to comprehend that woman's strength.

"He can control me with genjutsu, and he can even drain my chakra?"

After Obito noticed something amiss, he immediately activated Izanagi to recover, but unfortunately, he couldn't return to the time before the mark was placed on him. (Originally, he used Izanagi to recover after being hit by Konan's attack, but he was still injured, possibly due to a lack of prior preparation.)

Therefore, there was only one thing he could do: grit his teeth and cut off his own arm!

However, the woman seemed to sense his thoughts and frantically drained his chakra as he chopped off his hand.

For a moment, he felt like he was going to die on the spot, but luckily he had white blood cells, which prevented him from being completely drained.

He used his last remaining chakra to activate Kamui at the last moment, which allowed him to escape.

But now he has basically lost his fighting ability, and that woman has really left a deep impression on him.

Such nonchalance, such leisurely pace, even deliberately revealing flaws, was all to lure out his true form before delivering a thunderous blow.

All of this was just like when he first opened his eyes and faced the haori.

The fact that the same humiliation kept happening to him was something he simply couldn't accept.

"It's all Haori's fault! Why is it always him? Why is it always him? Why does everyone always surround him?!"

Obito screamed hysterically in his heart, but just then, dazzling fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky.

Cheers resounded throughout Konoha, and blessings were everywhere.

Obito stared blankly at the fireworks in the sky, and at that moment his heart seemed to grow even colder.

The excitement belongs to them; they get nothing.

"I am the forgotten one, the one abandoned by the whole world!"

He slowly stood up, looking at the fireworks in the sky, and at that moment he clenched his fist.

He originally intended to take revenge on Konoha and release the Nine-Tails to destroy the village.

Now this idea has become incredibly firm: the world couldn't tolerate him anyway, so it's perfectly normal for him to take revenge on the world.

"You'll regret it, all of you will regret it."

Obito's voice was deep and hoarse, and his three tomoe appeared eerie and ghostly under the moonlight.

His aura was as cold as unyielding ice.
