Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 87 The Storm Is Approaching (10,000-word chapter)

"Obito, are you insane?"

In the Land of Rain, the torrential rain continued. Black Zetsu looked at Obito in front of him and questioned him loudly.

If it weren't for his naturally dark complexion, you could probably still see his dark expression right now.

Upon learning of Obito's astonishing actions, Black Zetsu could no longer contain himself and immediately rushed over from the Land of Water.

He knew Obito had gone mad, but he never imagined Obito could go to such an insane state!

How could he be so naive as to think that Nagato could cooperate with him in provoking Konoha?

Even in the Land of Water, Black Zetsu knew that Obito had been brutally beaten up by the woman next to Uchiha Haori.

He's already been beaten up by two people, one in front and one behind, so why doesn't he give himself a break?

"I have my own plans, you don't need to worry about them."

When Obito saw Black Zetsu suddenly appear, he was somewhat surprised, but he remained calm.

He had actually guessed that Black Zetsu would definitely come, and he had already made preparations.

He looked coldly at Black Zetsu and spoke indifferently.

"Don't forget you're here to assist me, not to teach me how to do things. I am now Uchiha Madara!"

"I"

Black Zetsu almost lost his composure when he heard those words.

His biggest regret now is that when his mother created him, she didn't give him any strength.

That way he can strangle this idiot first, instead of being driven to his death by this guy!

"There has to be a plan. You should know about Nagato's situation. He needs to rest now."

Furthermore, Konoha has two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan users. I've heard about your battles with them, and the situation is not optimistic.

Therefore, you must be cautious no matter what, and don't forget that you have more important things to do!

Black Zetsu had already been very tactful; he just hoped that Obito could be rational and stop being so willful!

In the original story, Obito's attack on Konoha was probably not Madara's intention, but rather Obito's own willful act.

However, Obito was hiding his identity at the time, and with Kamui, Black Zetsu, who was responsible for watching him, didn't react much.

But this time was different. Obito had suffered repeated defeats, and he also planned to drag Nagato into it. How could Black Zetsu tolerate that?

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Obito glanced at Black Zetsu, then looked away at the gloomy, still-rainy sky.

"This time I will plunge Konoha into chaos, and I have only one target—the Nine-Tails."

Don't forget that our future plan is to collect all nine tailed beasts; this was just a test.

If I succeed, that would be best; if I fail, I will still take Nagato with me.

Moreover, regardless of success or failure, it will deal a huge blow to Konoha's reputation. Isn't that a good thing?

What a jerk!

Black Zetsu was about to burst into a tirade, but he didn't dare; he had to do what was befitting his status.

"But aren't you afraid of exposing us by doing this?"

"I've already said there won't be any problems; I've investigated almost everything."

Obito looked calmly at Black Zetsu and slowly spoke.

"I've been in Konoha for so long, and I've done most of the investigation I needed to do."

I never expected that Kushina Uzumaki was actually the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I know her quite well.

And I know one thing: a Jinchuriki is at their weakest during childbirth, and she is about to marry Minato Namikaze.

"If we time it right, we can easily unleash the Nine-Tails and cause the damage to Konoha!"

Obito no longer has the memory of Minato Namikaze and Kushina taking care of him; all he has left is the belief in destroying everything.

If it weren't for Uchiha Haori and Uchiha Hotaru, he wouldn't have needed to find Nagato at all; he was confident he could have done it all on his own!

But now that something unexpected has happened, he naturally has to make some changes.

He didn't ask much of Nagato, just that he could perform at the same level of power he had when facing Hanzo and Danzo.

Moreover, sending Nagato to attack Danzo would satisfy Danzo's desire for revenge while also drawing attention away from him.

As for whether this guy needs more rest, Obito doesn't care. He can't possibly let go of the power of the Rinnegan!

"Do your job. I need to conduct further investigations to ensure the reliability of this operation. Are you satisfied now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only Black Zetsu bewildered in the rain.

"Son of a bitch"

After a long while, Black Zetsu muttered a curse in despair.

Over the course of a thousand years, he has fooled countless reincarnations and descendants of Indra, and has always been successful.

To his utter surprise, he was outmaneuvered by an idiot, and there was nothing he could do about it.

For a moment, Black Zetsu truly felt that his future was bleak. If Obito were to act recklessly, that guy probably wouldn't even know how he died.

But Madara Uchiha had awakened the Rinnegan. He was the first descendant of Indra to achieve this in a thousand years, and Madara was unwilling to give up.

"Fine, let's just do it his way for now."

After a long while, Black Zetsu sighed softly, but he had also made a decision in his heart.

While gathering intelligence, it would be best to also investigate who the new Indra reincarnation is.

He had really lost some of his confidence because of Obito.

In Konoha, Itachi Uchiha hurried towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

During this time, he has been training at the root and has also performed some simple tasks.

This made him feel somewhat tired, but when the mission ended, he heard that his mother had gone to the hospital, which made him very anxious.

Fortunately, the latest news indicates that his mother has been discharged from the hospital, which relieved him.

"My younger brother?"

As he walked, he thought to himself that he felt both confused and excited about the upcoming addition to his family.

Although he doesn't know whether it's a boy or a girl yet, he hopes it will be a younger brother.

Why did Mother go to the hospital?

Itachi Uchiha was puzzled, but he thought it best to discuss it back at the hotel.

"Um?"

Just then, Itachi Uchiha suddenly paused, because he saw two somewhat familiar figures appear in the crowd on the street.

"Those two look like Shin Uchiha and Shu Uchiha?"

He might not know the lower-ranking members of the clan, but while Fugaku Uchiha was still alive, he introduced him to many of the clan's elites.

Whether it's the elders who have died or those who now truly control the clan council.

Upon seeing the two people, he hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not go up to greet them.

He wasn't familiar with these people; in fact, he didn't have much affection for the Uchiha clan as a whole.

Previously, everyone who met him only respected him because of his father's influence, and there wasn't much interaction between them.

Besides, the Uchiha clan was originally cold and aloof, and he had long been used to it.

He shook his head, not intending to pay any more attention, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.

At the base, he learned all sorts of skills, including lip reading!

Although lip reading is extremely difficult and prone to misinterpretation, he still managed to determine that the two were discussing the same thing—

His father, Uchiha Fugaku!

"Could it be..."

He had personally witnessed his father being attacked, but he never dared to speak of it.

Since his father's death, no one in the family had talked about these things anymore, but he never expected to encounter them today.

This piqued his curiosity, so he instantly activated his Sharingan and quietly followed them.

"It seems that it's all in the past, and no further investigation has been conducted. Konoha is nothing special after all."

He hid in the crowd, trying his best to conceal himself while carefully watching the two people's lip movements.

The two were barely audible when they spoke, clearly indicating the use of special methods, but this was acceptable to Itachi.

When he analyzed something through his Sharingan, he couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Hmm, I really didn't expect this to be so easy."

"Lady Hagoromo's power is extraordinary; it seems everyone has already accepted it."

"Indeed, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly; they're all dead."

"By the way, clean the shrine thoroughly as soon as possible. There might still be traces inside that we can't let others find out."

"I knew it was a cruel night, even without you reminding me."

The two walked along in silence, while Itachi Uchiha's expression grew increasingly grim.

Was this done by Uchiha Haori?

Although lip reading cannot completely determine what they said, he can be certain of some things!

Moreover, with the appearance of the name Yuzhi, he seemed to recall more things.

One of the two shadowy figures did indeed seem to resemble Yuzhi's figure!

"This shrine must be the Nanka Shrine. Maybe there's something inside?"

Uchiha Itachi thought to himself, then quickly closed his Sharingan, lowered his head, and headed towards the clan.

It was as if it had happened silently, without anyone noticing.

What he didn't know was that the moment he turned to leave, everyone around him inadvertently turned to look at him.

"Is this what you call a meticulously planned arrangement?"

On a high-rise building in the street, Danzo looked down at everything with a dark expression.

At that moment, he really felt like Orochimaru had tricked him out of his funding!

Orochimaru, that bastard, only asked for a personality assessment of Itachi Uchiha, and then spent a few weeks figuring it out before coming up with this plan.

This is worse than him doing it himself. You know, many of the people Orochimaru uses are his own!

"In fact, the simplest method is often the most effective, because it's the one that gets straight to his personality and inner thoughts."

Orochimaru, however, didn't seem to care and smiled as he watched Itachi Uchiha walk away quickly.

"The more complex and meticulous the design, the easier it is to leave flaws and traces; the simpler the design, the more it can subtly stir people's hearts."

With just a little preparation of the necessary things beforehand, and given Itachi's personality, he would neither utter a word nor fail to keep everything firmly in his heart.

"So, Lord Danzo, haven't you achieved your goal?"

Orochimaru was absolutely certain; he truly had full confidence in his plan.

He has a very strong grasp of people's hearts; otherwise, he wouldn't have so many loyal subordinates.

Even though he left Konoha, and left infamously as a Konoha traitor, there are still many people who remember him fondly.

This is both his personal charisma and his personal ability!

I hope there are no problems with your plan.

Danzo glanced at Orochimaru, and finally nodded.

"What did you put in that Naka Shrine that was enough for Itachi Uchiha to conclude that it was Uchiha Hagoromo who did it?"

"Actually, I didn't deliberately put anything there. I just left some marks on the ground and walls based on Haori's fighting habits."

Orochimaru chuckled softly before speaking in a low voice.

"I've fought him before, though only once, but I've noticed his fighting habits."

Fire Release is his signature move; the raging fire there already helped me out. As for the rest, those are just traces of the battle.

Although Itachi Uchiha was intelligent, he still managed to find traces of hidden knives and kunai among the thick ash at the scene of the fire.

Given that he had previously heard that this matter was related to Uchiha Hagoromo, what do you think he would think?

Later, Danzo-sama subtly hinted that this matter might be related to certain people. Will he then etch this matter completely into his mind?

Danzo fell silent after hearing Orochimaru's words, and after a long while he nodded.

"I hope your so-called 'refined plan' works, or I won't let you off the hook!"

Orochimaru shrugged indifferently. Danzo was no longer in a position to say such things in front of him, but he didn't care.

"That's nothing, I'll be going now. I'll be waiting to see how Uchiha Itachi performs in the end."

Danzo stood up. He had seen everything he needed to see, and it was time for him to leave.

"I won't disappoint Lord Danzo, but there's one more thing I'd like to discuss."

Orochimaru simply smiled at Danzo's actions, but his words caused Danzo to stiffen slightly.

Is it again?

"What is it? Haven't I already given you everything I was entitled to?"

"What I meant was that I've already adjusted the ratio of Wood Release to Sharingan to a fairly suitable level."

"real?!"

"Yes, but there are some problems as well."

"."

"I've basically used up all my Sharingan, so it'll be difficult for me to continue."

"."

"Lord Danzo, I don't think you'd want the research to stall because of this kind of problem, would you?"

"."

-

"Itachi, you're back?"

As dusk fell, Itachi Uchiha returned home somewhat dejectedly. Mikoto, seeing him, greeted him with her usual cheerfulness.

Although Itachi had always been mysterious, and he didn't even show up when she collapsed and was hospitalized, she didn't pay too much attention to it.

She just comforted herself, thinking that Itachi probably had more important things to do.

"Yes, I'm back, Mother."

Itachi seemed a little dazed, which made Mikoto frown slightly.

"What's wrong, Itachi? Did something happen?"

"No, Mother."

Uchiha Itachi immediately shook his head. He glanced at the people outside before changing the subject and asking.

"Mother, I remember they were dismissed. Why are they back?"

"It was Yuzhi who asked Shisui to bring them back."

Mikoto glanced at the servants outside, pursed her lips, and spoke.

With Yuri's orders, Shisui was surprisingly efficient, and he found everyone in just a few days.

During her time in the hospital, she relied on the maids she had found to manage the household affairs and take care of her daily life in the hospital.

Although it was just a small favor, at least Yuzhi did it, and it was when she needed it most.

Moreover, Yuzhi's words remained in her heart, so now when Yuzhi is mentioned, she always feels a bit complicated.

"Haori."

Upon hearing this name, Itachi involuntarily clenched his fist slightly.

He had just secretly gone to the Nanga Shrine, and it took him quite a bit of effort to find the traces of the battle buried under the thick layer of dust on the ruins!

Even if he hadn't gone looking, he already had some ideas in his mind. The traces he found only reinforced his suspicions; he needed more evidence.

"Mother, why did Senior Hagoromo make Brother Shisui do these things?"

Itachi quickly adjusted his mindset and asked calmly.

"Also, how does Senior Hagoromo know about Mother's affairs?"

"this."

Mikoto seemed a little embarrassed when she heard this, because he was spying on us.

However, she wouldn't say that aloud. After thinking for a moment, she said it somewhat cryptically.

"Haori holds an extraordinary position within the family, after all, he is the one who can participate in family meetings and make many decisions."

If you encounter him again in the future, try to be respectful; things are different now than they were in the past.

Their status is extraordinary, and they can decide many things.

Itachi quickly picked out the keywords, and his heart grew increasingly gloomy.

"So, Mother, what kind of person do you think Hagoromo-senpai is?"

However, Itachi remained calm on the surface, and even showed a curious expression as he asked.

A powerful, cunning, cunning, and ruthless bastard!

Mikoto cursed inwardly, but in the end she sighed and spoke.

"He is someone who will strive to do what he believes is right for the sake of his family."

He is also an extremely talented, capable, and devoted person to this family.

What Mikoto thought and what she said were both true, and although they seemed contradictory, they could be reconciled.

Mikoto was also confused, because to their family, Haori was an absolutely ruthless bastard.

But to this family, he was a revered hero, which is why Mikoto's feelings were complicated.

"I see."

Itachi lowered his head; he hadn't expected his mother to have such a high opinion of the haori.

He didn't care about clan affairs, so naturally he didn't know much about Yuzhi's current situation within the clan.

But now he has come to a conclusion: Yuzhi is skilled at disguise, powerful, and is slowly taking control of the clan.

Moreover, he remembered his father telling him that Yuzhi was not as simple as she seemed, and that he should have less contact with her.

"So, Father already understood this back then?"

Itachi Uchiha closed his eyes, and in that moment, he completely imprinted his thoughts onto himself—

"So, why should this immortal be with you bunch of brats?"

Inside a high-end hotel in Konoha, Jiraiya, bored, looked at Hagoromo, Kakashi, and Asuma in front of him and couldn't help but make a comment.

The three of them, including Yuzhi, also seemed a bit bored. They really didn't know what to talk about with an old man.

Yuri was quite interested in chatting with Jiraiya about things that weren't really appropriate to talk about at their age.

After all, the light wasn't around him.

As a girl, Hikari had already been pulled away by Kushina and Rin.

As for Yuzhi, either because she was young or because she was treated as a VIP, she and her companions could only sit idly in a private room.

As for Minato Namikaze's situation, there are naturally people helping to handle it; Yuri and the others just need to wait for the wedding banquet to begin.

However, Yuzhi still had some self-respect. Kakashi was a repressed pervert, but Asuma wasn't sure if he could accept it, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Ugh, honestly, how did she end up with that old lecher?"

However, Yuri didn't know what to say. Asuma, as the "rebellious son of Sarutobi," was quite audacious. He pursed his lips and spoke.

"What do you know, you little brat? I was gathering material, you know that?"

Jiraiya was an easygoing person, and he didn't care about Asuma's age. He immediately retorted when he heard this.

"Finding inspiration from a hot spring resort? You're just a pervert."

Asuma rolled his eyes and made a sarcastic remark, and finally, Haori and Kakashi turned their attention to him.

"You wouldn't understand if I told you. This immortal is so popular, finding a woman would be easy for me. I'm only doing this to write the book."

Jiraiya spoke up in dissatisfaction, and as if to prove the truth of his statement, he took out a scroll from his body and threw it over.

"Hey, take a look. This is the new book that I, the immortal, will be publishing in the future. This is just the first draft. You're lucky to get such a good deal."

"First draft?"

Asuma and Kakashi were quite curious, while Haori's expression turned somewhat strange.

Could this be the first draft of the legendary "Make-Out Paradise"?

As expected, when Kakashi and Asuma opened the scroll and began to read, they immediately blushed.

The contents of this story seemed rather sensational to them, but Yuzhi simply pursed her lips.

Before he transmigrated, he had seen all sorts of serial numbers, so this information was utterly insignificant to him.

"How about that? Impressive, right? You believe this immortal was just gathering material, didn't you?"

Seeing that the three of them were engrossed in reading, Jiraiya didn't pay much attention to their expressions and immediately began to boast about himself.

"This immortal is very popular. Wherever I go, beautiful girls will approach me, and these girls are also material for me."

Similarly, I only went to hot spring resorts and public bathhouses to gather material, so please stop spreading rumors.

"Popular?" Asuma's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "How did Jiraiya-sama manage to be so popular?"

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, Yuzhi immediately lost her composure.

Others may not know, but Hagoromo knows very well that Jiraiya is a true bachelor.

He was a fool who pursued Tsunade for most of his life, but died without ever succeeding.

He's popular, he must have spent money.

"Hey kid, what's with that expression?"

Jiraiya wanted to continue boasting, but when he saw what the haori looked like, he immediately became dissatisfied.

"Lord Jiraiya, I've only heard that you're still single?"

Hagoromo suppressed a laugh, looked Jiraiya up and down, and then spoke.

"Moreover, they frequently frequented places like brothels."

"Damn it, I was just gathering material. How could someone who writes a book linger in those places? I was just gathering material!"

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, his face flushed slightly, and he pulled the scroll back.

"Furthermore, this immortal has no desire to be bound by marriage."

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing these words, Asma knew that he had most likely been fooled by this lecherous old man.

"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you guys."

Jiraiya was somewhat unable to hold back, but given his personality, he definitely wouldn't care about such things.

After he put the reel away, he couldn't help but speak mysteriously.

"Actually, you'll understand what I mean after you experience it at a brothel."

Jiraiya really doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables; his words immediately made the three of them roll their eyes.

Putting aside the three prohibitions for ninjas, one of which is women, or more accurately, certain desires.

None of the three of them are over eighteen, so his words seem rather inappropriate.

"Konoha's education is pretty good, at least their mindset isn't bad right now."

Seeing that the three remained silent, Jiraiya, though still wearing a mischievous grin, nodded inwardly.

Although he was a reckless person, he had his own standards. He just wanted to see how these three kids would react.

So far, he is quite satisfied with the performance of the three little ones.

But at the same time, it also made him feel a little bored. After all, he was just a kid, and the jokes had gone far enough.

"Lord Jiraiya, I really don't recommend you go to that kind of place."

However, to Jiraiya's surprise, Haori spoke up at this moment.

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

Jiraiya was a little curious, but he still looked at Haori with a mischievous grin.

He naturally knew that Yuzhi was one of the key talents that Konoha was currently cultivating, and if everything went smoothly, this kid could very well become the Minister of Police and the head of the Uchiha clan in the future.

Moreover, this kid has extraordinary connections among the younger generation of Konoha, and also enjoys incredible prestige.

His attitude could definitely influence many people, and Jiraiya wanted to see what insights Haori had to offer.

"I wonder if Jiraiya-sama has ever heard this saying."

Yuri looked at Jiraiya with a mischievous grin, and he returned the smile with the same smirk. Kakashi and Asuma also looked at him curiously.

The two of them naturally wouldn't listen to Jiraiya. As qualified Konoha ninjas, they knew what they should do.

Kakashi might be a bit of a repressed flirt, but that's about it. Asuma, on the other hand, is completely consumed by lust and wouldn't think about anything else.

But they didn't know how to retaliate against Jiraiya, and now that Hagoromo had spoken, they naturally wanted to learn.

"What did you say?"

Jiraiya took out his little finger and picked at his ear, then asked curiously.

"Lord Jiraiya, the shady path you yearn for..."

Yuzhi's mischievous grin grew even brighter before he finally spoke softly.

"It's very likely that every morning and evening, the ground is already covered in frost."

"Um?"

Kakashi and Asuma were both taken aback, as was Jiraiya.

But the next moment, while the two were still looking completely bewildered, Jiraiya's face turned utterly green—

"What's going on? Kakashi and Asuma are looking at you strangely?"

In the hotel lobby, as everyone cheered as Minato Namikaze and Kushina walked out, Hikaru leaned against Haori and asked in a low voice.

"Also, why does that lecherous Jiraiya look so pale? Weren't you two together this afternoon? What happened?"

"Well, that's a man's secret."

Yuri glanced at Kakashi and Asuma, who were still full of curiosity, and then at Jiraiya, whose face had turned green. A wicked smile appeared on his face again.

"Hmm, maybe it's because Jiraiya likes to gnaw on abalone?"

"Tch, that's ridiculous."

Guang rolled her eyes, then didn't bother to ask any further, but she was a little wary.

She didn't want Haori and Jiraiya to get too close. After all, Haori was already impolite enough, and if Jiraiya joined in, the situation might get even worse!

Yuri didn't say anything more, but looked at Minato and Kushina walking in hand in hand, and sighed in her heart.

"It'll be soon."

He already knew about Kushina's pregnancy, which meant that a momentous event that would change everyone's fate was about to unfold.

Hagoromo didn't have any bad thoughts about Minato Namikaze.

Even though his main mission dictates that he will compete with the Fourth Hokage, he will not joke about the Nine-Tails.

After all, the family needs to grow, the police department needs to expand, and the cymbal needs more prestige.

With this Hokage on the stage, it's a good opportunity for Yuu to develop his career. Only when he has enough prestige can he challenge for the Hokage position.

Moreover, he was also aware of one thing: this Fourth Hokage was too easily influenced by the Third Hokage, and this influence might very well involve Danzo.

Moreover, Danzo harbored such deep malice towards the Uchiha clan that Hagoromo gradually developed and improved, and systematically displayed his power during the Nine-Tails incident.

So, the Third and Fourth Hokage won't do anything to him, but Danzo will absolutely not allow it!

"Therefore, Danzo will be a breakthrough point."

Hanori never intended to let Danzo go; such a viper-like person was truly detestable.

The most crucial point is that it is extremely difficult to touch him. Fortunately, Yuzhi is not in a hurry. He just needs to develop slowly!

"Moreover, with the continuous injection of solvent over this period of time, I can feel that my 'glorious evolution' is about to be activated."

The enhancement brought to him by the white Zetsu cells was significant. In addition, he was already 'extraordinary' and had the ability to enhance his bloodline. Moreover, he was already a kaleidoscope.

Based on this, the first upgrade of "Glorious Evolution" will naturally not be too slow.

"However, 'Glorious Evolution' and 'Outstanding' do not collaborate, or rather, they do not collaborate for the first time, which is quite awkward."

Yu Zhi pursed his lips, wondering if he could activate his extraordinary abilities again this time and make his eyes reach the point of eternal vision.

However, upon closer reflection, he lacks practical experience with kaleidoscopes and his accumulated knowledge is insufficient, so any attempt to improve is simply wishful thinking.

"Fortunately, after nearly a year of fusing with White Zetsu cells, my eye power is full, and it's time to get active after the Nine-Tails incident."

Yuzhi is ambitious. He didn't dare to act recklessly before because he had no protection, but now that he can, how could he not move?

"However, the eyes of light still need to think things through carefully."

As Yuri thought to herself, her eyes also turned to the light beside her.

Yuri doesn't need to worry about her eyes, but whether light can achieve eternal vision is something that gives her a bit of a headache.

He wanted to see what would happen if Hikaru followed the path of Madara Uchiha, but the issue of his eyes really troubled him.

"In the original work, the Eternal Eye is the fusion of two pairs of eyes. Although it's not explicitly stated whether they must be brothers, it seems that the Eternal Eye is always born between brothers."

Even with what he dug up, finding her relatives might not be possible even with reincarnation, since she had been buried for over a hundred years.

Using other kaleidoscopes is also not very reliable, because Haori doesn't have such eyes.

After Fugaku Uchiha had his eye technique transplanted into it, it was basically beyond repair.

After much thought, it seemed that Yuzhi only had one option left—the Otsutsuki on the moon.

However, he didn't know whether those people on the moon were all dead or not.

But he had already made up his mind that he must go to the moon to see it in the future, because no matter what, that huge Tenseigan was still interesting.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hikaru noticed that Yuri seemed to be looking at her again. In the past, she might have cursed under her breath, but now she seemed to have gotten used to it.

"what?"

Haori snapped out of his reverie, glanced at the newlyweds already standing on the stage, and smiled as he looked at Kushina in her white kimono.

"I think they'll be very happy in the future."

"Yeah?"

Guang raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking completely unconvinced.

"yes."

Yuzhi nodded affirmatively, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Their future looks very happy."

At least this time, whatever his motives, Obito won't have a good time with him!

"How blissful."

Outside the hotel, atop a telephone pole in Konoha, Obito stood with his back to the moonlight, gazing intently at everything inside the hotel.

Looking at the smiling faces of Minato Namikaze and Kushina, as well as Kakashi, Rin, and his hated Haori and Hikari, he was struck by their joy.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a cold voice.

Although the thought had crossed his mind more than once, he couldn't help but think of it again at this moment—

The excitement belongs to them; they get nothing.

"Cheer up! Hopefully, you'll continue to cheer like this in the future."

Obito's surroundings suddenly distorted, and the next moment he found himself inside a cave.

He couldn't stand that atmosphere because, in his heart, he should have been standing there, but now everything had changed.

However, he didn't care. In the world he was going to build in the future, he could stand there himself and replace some other people!

"The investigation is complete. Although it was top secret, I still managed to find out the production time of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki through some means."

Inside the cave, Black Zetsu had been waiting for Obito, and upon seeing him return, he immediately spoke.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will give birth in October."

"That means it'll only be a few months, right?"

When Obito heard this news, his eyes turned slightly cold. This was definitely good news for him!

Because he doesn't have to wait that long, he can start immediately.

"That's right, but don't you think this is too rushed?"

Obito's way of thinking is completely different from Black Zetsu's, leaving Black Zetsu feeling quite helpless.

"First of all, Nagato's situation is not so good, and secondly, Konoha's security will definitely be very tight, so it will probably not be easy for you to infiltrate."

And don't forget, neither Uchiha Haori nor that woman are easy to deal with. If something happens to Nagato, his Rinnegan will be left behind.

Then all our plans will be ruined!

"I know what I'm doing, there won't be any problems."

Obito frowned and spoke in a cold voice.

"Besides, Nagato has already created a puppet; his real body doesn't need to participate in the battle at all, so there's absolutely no problem!"

Don't other people have the ability to see through things? Don't other people have the ability to sense things? And how far away can Nagato control the puppet now?

Black Zetsu was filled with immense grief and indignation; he was truly at a loss when faced with such a lunatic.

He could only try to explain the pros and cons to make Obito realize the seriousness of the situation, but before he could speak, Obito spoke again.

"If you're really that worried about Nagato, why not just give him some White Zetsu bodies to replenish his legs?"

Obito's words completely terrified Black Zetsu. If he gave it to Nagato, would Nagato still obey?

Furthermore, the reason Nagato was unable to unleash the power of the Rinnegan was largely because he lacked the power belonging to the 'Ashura'.

Or rather, there isn't enough quantity to allow the Rinnegan to function properly. What would happen if he were given that much?

"That won't work either. We've worked so hard to get him to this state, making him easy for us to control. It wouldn't be good if he really went back to normal."

Fortunately, Black Zetsu was reassured that Obito hadn't gone completely insane; he quickly discovered some problems.

"That's right, we can't take the risk."

Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak, but he was interrupted before he could finish.

"Then give him a small amount, just enough so he can perform normally, what do you think?"

I'm talking nonsense!

Black Zetsu was completely dumbfounded, but in the end he still nodded silently, which was a way of acknowledging Obito's unreliable idea.

It's possible to reduce the amount of energy used, allowing Nagato to control the distance further while ensuring he doesn't recover too much of his strength.

Once this precedent is set, it's difficult to reverse the situation later.

"No, I must go and find the next Indra. Who knows what will happen if I follow this guy?"

Black Zetsu secretly made up his mind that regardless of whether Obito succeeded or not, he had to prepare a way out for himself.

He now truly regrets not having the power to kill Obito, and he also truly regrets not interfering with Madara Uchiha's choice back then.

At least choose a normal one. The Uchiha are mentally ill, but don't choose someone so terminally ill.

"It's about to begin."

Obito had no idea what Black Zetsu was thinking. His gaze remained fixed on the brightly lit Konoha, and he thought viciously to himself.

"This time, you will surely feel the pain!"
