On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

Although Obito didn't intend to include Whitebeard in his Eye of the Moon Plan, since Whitebeard was in the Land of Rain and had clashed with the Rain Village, he could use Whitebeard's strength to attack the Rain Village.

"Help? Who do you think I am? I am Whitebeard!" Nagasawa activated his Conqueror's Haki, and his powerful aura pressed down on Obito.

This powerful force even stirred up a gust of wind, uprooting the grass on the ground and bending the surrounding trees, with some of the thinner trees breaking off.

This was merely the aftershock of Conqueror's Haki; Obito's face beneath his mask, targeted by the Haki, had already turned serious.

The mere release of his aura was enough to cause such a scene; this is no ordinary Jonin, but a Kage-level powerhouse!

"I apologize, due to information-related reasons, I underestimated you a little," Obito immediately apologized.

This made Nagasawa somewhat regretful, as Obito had finally awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and still possessed Hashirama cells, making him not so easy to deal with.

The moment Obito showed even the slightest weakness in the face of Conqueror's Haki, Nagasawa immediately released the Yin Seal and killed Obito with a single strike.

"Tell me your purpose," Nagasawa said calmly.

"I want to start a cooperation with you to deal with the Rain Village."

“I know that Amegakure is hunting you, and I am being hunted by Amegakure as well. We all have a common enemy,” Obito said, revealing his purpose.

"What qualifications do you have to cooperate with me? You're just a pretentious charlatan," Yongze said dismissively.

Obito showed no signs of anger and immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

The white mask covered Obito's entire face, except for his right Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Don't rush me. My name is Uchiha Madara. You may have heard of me. Now, am I qualified?"

"Uchiha Madara? Why don't you just say you're Senju Hashirama?" Nagasawa laughed loudly.

Obito: ...

This person doesn't seem easy to fool.

"I didn't actually die in the battle at the Valley of the End; I was just hiding in the shadows..." Obito tried to explain.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me how to cooperate," Yongze said.

It's rare for Obito to come to us of his own accord, so Nagasawa wanted to see how far Obito had progressed in his preparations and whether Nagato had become familiar with the Rinnegan.

"The Rain Village has always wanted to kill me and my companions. As long as we show our tracks, a large number of Rain Villagers will surely come to surround and kill us."

I'll first feign revealing my whereabouts to lure a large number of Rain Ninjas to gather and kill me. Then you can join forces with me to kill all those Rain Ninjas.

I have some informants within the Rain Ninja clan, holding high-ranking positions. With their combined efforts, the Rain Ninja will be no match for us.

Obito explained his plan.

Yongze shook his head and said, "I have a better way."

You had your informant incite the Rain Ninja to send more forces to hunt me down.

I killed all those pursuers; Hanzo must be furious.

At this point, you can have your inside man take action and kidnap one of my children. But you can't actually kidnap one; you can find someone with a high level of transformation ability to take their place.

Then, have the inside man say he'll kill him in public to intimidate the other ninjas and prevent them from causing trouble in the Land of Rain. This will also attract Whitebeard to come and rescue him.

"By then, all the Rain Ninja will have gathered together. If we then strike, with our inside agents following suit, wouldn't we be able to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?"

Obito thought about it and realized that Whitebeard's plan was indeed more meticulous, even having thought of what should be done inside.

If he were Hanzo, he definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate it either and would use that plan.

That plan was an open conspiracy. If Whitebeard didn't come, then we would kill his son, regain the face that Amegakure had lost, and at the same time slap Whitebeard in the face.

And if you come, that's even better. We'll kill you along with everyone else, and that will make Amegakure even more embarrassed.

However, this plan is based on the premise that Amegakure captures Whitebeard's son and can defeat Whitebeard.

However, Obito felt that with Whitebeard and him, even if Nagato hadn't mastered the Rinnegan, Amegakure wouldn't have a chance.

Chapter 149 Don't Mess with Konoha's Genin

“Okay, let’s go with your plan.” Obito nodded and said.

"I'll give you the information once my inside contact sends word." With that, the space around Obito distorted, and then Obito disappeared into the void.

Obito didn't want to spend too much time with such a powerful person just because of his aura, lest he be seen through.

Obito is now a little curious about how strong Whitebeard was when he was young. As everyone knows, a ninja's strength declines significantly as he gets older.

If Whitebeard still had such strength even in his old age, how strong must he have been when he was young?

But why is it so powerful? I've never heard of it before.

But it was obvious that Whitebeard wouldn't tell him, so Obito left on his own.

Besides the arrangements Whitebeard mentioned, he had to make even more arrangements.

He is no longer the naive boy he once was. His decision to cooperate with Whitebeard does not mean he will completely trust him.

"Dad, why did we cooperate with that suspicious person? It's not like the entire Rain Village is going to hunt us down." Gao Qiao couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

In his view, this decision was somewhat irrational. Although his father was powerful, it was still unrealistic for him to go head-to-head with a ninja village.

A ninja village is the strongest military force in a country. For one person to fight against a ninja village is no different from one person fighting against a country.

"Father must have his own ideas, but this is indeed a plan that's so exciting it makes you tremble." Musashi's hand unconsciously touched the twin swords at his waist.

His ideas differed from Gao Qiao's.

Because he was a swordsman, he knew more about his father's strength than Gao Qiao did.

Since he met his father, his father had always made a casual slash, never taking it seriously, and had never even used chakra.

Musashi wouldn't believe it if you said his father didn't know chakra.

Even a casual slash could defeat his full-force sword energy. If Daddy used chakra to enhance his power and went all out, how strong would he be?

Musashi couldn't imagine it, but he felt that his father must be stronger than the general of the Land of Iron!

"Gurararara." Nagasawa laughed loudly and said domineeringly, "This time we'll teach the Rain Ninja a lesson. From now on, when we go to other places, no one will bother us anymore."

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The main reason is that he wants to replicate a Marineford War to improve the integration level.

Therefore, he now needs to contact the original body.

Shadow clones are still somewhat inadequate for dealing with this situation, especially since there's still Obito present.

If possible, Nagasawa would like to leave Obito there as well. You can't guard against a thief forever.

We could just kill Obito directly, which would save us a lot of trouble.

However, Nagasawa was only going to give it a try and didn't think he could kill Obito with 100% certainty.

If Obito were willing to fight him, then Obito would surely die.

However, Obito was clearly not stupid; if he saw that things weren't going well, he would definitely use Kamui to escape.

Obito, with his Kamui, Izanagi, and Hashirama cells, is incredibly difficult to kill.

P.S.: The Tremor-Tremor Fruit doesn't shatter space itself, so it can't be used against Kamui. At least based on the current anime and manga, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit hasn't shown any power to shatter space.

If space were truly shattered, Blackbeard would have been killed by Whitebeard during the Marineford War.

But you should always try if you have the chance. Obito hasn't had the Mangekyou Sharingan for very long, and he's still quite immature compared to the Obito of later years.

……

After the Special Combat Ninja Squad was established, Nagasawa took on an additional role: squad leader of the Special Combat Squad.

This ninja squad is currently independent, not belonging to any department, and only obeys the squad leader and the Hokage.

However, Yongze needs to carefully consider the matter when it comes to hiring.

In the original work, the two special jonin, Hayate Gekko and Yugao Uzuki, inherited the Konoha-style swordsmanship. These two undoubtedly had swordsmanship talent.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become a special Jonin through swordsmanship.

However, currently, one of them is in the fifth year of the Ninja Academy, and the other is in the sixth year.

Hayate Gekko will graduate this year, no problem. I just don't know if Yugao Uzuki will graduate with Hayate Gekko.

The Uchiha clan does have quite a few swordsmen, and Shisui did too. He often carried a wakizashi on his back for close combat.

Nagasawa thought for a moment, then found the information on the Uchiha members that Fugaku had given him before, and selected three Uchiha from it.

After thinking it over, Yongze suddenly thought of a good candidate.

Kosuke Maruboshi, the eternal genin of Konoha.

As everyone knows, many of Konoha's genin are not to be trifled with.

Kosuke Maruboshi could also be considered one of them.

Maruboshi Kosuke's Water Release ninjutsu was personally taught by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

The Third Hokage once wanted to promote Kosuke directly to Jonin, but Kosuke refused because his comrade had died during a mission due to his actions.

Therefore, Kosuke felt that someone like him was not worthy of becoming a Jonin and could only be a Genin, so he refused the Third Hokage's offer of promotion.

The Third Hokage, Kosuke, resolutely refused to advance in rank, and there was nothing he could do in the end. However, he did teach Kosuke a ninjutsu.

That was inspired by the Shadow Clone Jutsu created by the Second Hokage, which led him to create the A-rank ninjutsu—Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu.

During a mission with the third generation, Kosuke unfortunately suffered a disability in his left eye.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Kosuke and Minato were on a mission together when Kosuke unfortunately suffered a leg injury.

Fortunately, his thigh was not injured. After getting a prosthetic leg, although he was not as agile as before, it didn't mean he had to give up his ninja career.

Nagasawa estimated that even with a prosthetic left leg, Kosuke's current strength was not weak among Jonin, given his foundation.

With that in mind, Nagasawa also added Maruhoshi Kosuke to the recruitment list, but he added a note that he could not force him to join if he was unwilling.

After all, Kosuke has fought for Konoha for most of his life, losing an eye and a leg. It's really unfair to forcibly conscript him to work as a laborer.

As he pondered this, Nagasawa had some other ideas.

Currently, the success rate of secondary interstitial cells is 50%, and the success rate of *Syngonium spp.* is relatively high.

If Orochimaru were to implant secondary Hashirama cells into Kosuke's body, and then give Kosuke the Sharingan...

If the experiment succeeds, it won't just be a theoretical Kage-level shinobi; Konoha might just gain another Kage-level powerhouse.
