Obito Uchiha muttered a name: "Zetsu?"

It sounds like a fake name.

Black Zetsu continued, "The reason I came here is to fulfill your desire."

Obito Uchiha: "Do you know what I desire?"

"Of course." Black Zetsu said confidently, "Isn't she that girl named Nohara Rin?"

"I can grant your desires."

Obito Uchiha's eyes flashed, and after a moment he said, "Tell me about it."

Black Zetsu: "Do you know why that girl doesn't belong to you?"

"Because you are too weak."

"He's not handsome, and his personality isn't attractive enough for girls."

"He's forgetful, absent-minded, and his academic performance isn't good either..."

"Stop." Obito Uchiha said coldly, "Get to the point."

Black Zetsu: 'Okay.'

"The key point is: in your current state, it is only natural that you would lose to someone like Shenyue Xingyun."

"You need power to take back Nohara Rin."

“Great power.”

Obito Uchiha raised an eyebrow: "You can give me power?"

"More or less," Black Zetsu said. "It's not me, but the person behind me who can give you power."

"A power that transcends the Divine Moon Nebula, a power that transcends everything."

"Under this power, let alone Shingetsu Nebula, no one in the ninja world would be your match."

"Nohara Rin... just a little girl. If you want, just beckon, and any woman in the ninja world can be yours to enjoy."

Obito Uchiha abruptly interrupted, "I only like Rin!"

"Alright, alright, I know you're a loyal and good kid." Black Zetsu wouldn't argue with Obito Uchiha about such a trivial matter. He continued, "Anyway... you have the opportunity to gain power, the power to change the world."

Obito Uchiha's eyes flickered, as if he had been persuaded by the other party.

He asked the crucial question: "What do you need me to do?"

"Give me power for no reason? There's no such thing as a free lunch in the ninja world."

Black Zetsu grinned and said, "Of course."

"As a price, you need to leave with me and serve the people behind me."

"Perhaps... we might have to become enemies with the ninja world for a while."

"But don't worry, our goal is good."

Obito Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly. He slowly said, "In other words, you... the person behind you needs me to leave Konoha and work for him."

"The reward is the ability to reclaim Lin's power, right?"

Black Zetsu nodded: "More or less."

"You agree."

Obito Uchiha curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"I agree."

Black Zetsu had just smiled when he heard the second half of Obito Uchiha's sentence.

"You son of a bitch!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of chakra rose from Obito Uchiha's body!

With a surge of power, the three tomoe instantly lit up, and his hands formed hand seals, quickly becoming afterimages.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Phew!!!"

Flames, like dragons, roared and enveloped Black Zetsu.

Obito Uchiha's eyes were cold.

As the shadowy figure approached him, he knew it harbored ill intentions. The only reason he gave it a chance to speak was to find out its purpose.

Now that the objective was clear, there was no point in saying more, so they immediately took action to capture the other party.

As for what the other party said about gaining power and taking back Nohara Rin.

Don't even mention that he doesn't believe in the so-called power to change the world. Even if what the other party said were true, so what?

Nohara Rin wouldn't like him just because he's strong; he's definitely not that kind of superficial woman.

He loves Nohara Rin.

Love deeply.

He would rather see Nohara Rin happy than himself.

Even if I suffer hardship and misery, even if I am covered in wounds, even if Rin Nohara loves an unreliable, philandering man, it doesn't matter. As long as Rin is happy, that's enough.

As long as Lin is happy, he is willing to silently lick his wounds.

As for the suspicious-looking, questionable figure in front of us, he is undoubtedly the enemy!

A burst of flames!

He was no longer a fresh-out-of-school genin; even without the three-tomoe Sharingan, his chakra strength was considerable. He unleashed the Dragon Fire Technique, engulfing the area where Black Zetsu stood in raging flames.

But a few seconds later, Obito Uchiha frowned.

He stopped the output of chakra, and the flames dissipated.

Apart from the charred ground, not a single enemy corpse or even a hair remained.

"Whoosh!~" Not far away, a large group of ninjas quickly approached, with Kakashi Hatake arriving the fastest.

"What's wrong, Obito?"

Even if you're heartbroken, you can't start a fire!

Obito Uchiha shook his head: "There was an enemy just now."

Kakashi Hatake and the others were taken aback: "An enemy?"

"Why didn't we see it?"

"Yeah, I didn't see any." "Are you sure there's no mistake? This place is full of our people, how could any enemy get close?"

"Obito, are you seeing things?"

Faced with the ninjas' concern and questions, Obito Uchiha did not argue. Recalling the strange chakra fluctuations and appearance of 'Zetsu' just now, he said, "It's possible that I was seeing things."

"I'll report to Minato-sensei in a bit. Everything's fine now, everyone, please continue to relax."

The crowd dispersed.

Kakashi Hatake stayed behind. Obito Uchiha's reaction, however, worried him.

After everyone left, he asked with a serious expression, "Was there really an enemy just now?"

Obito Uchiha nodded: "He looks like a human, and his whole body is black. He tricked me into working for him, saying that he could give me the power to change the world and help me take back Rin Nohara."

Kakashi Hatake was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "You didn't agree?"

"Nonsense!" Obito Uchiha retorted angrily, "Do you really think I'm that stupid?!"

Kakashi Hatake scratched his head: 'No, absolutely not.'

"Oh, right, I just roasted two chickens, let's go eat together."

Obito Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "...Okay."

……

The rain in the small town lasted all night.

The next day, when Shingetsu Seiun and Yekura woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Both of them looked a little pale, a consequence of not getting enough sleep.

Chapter 244 Reward Increase

"It's all your fault." Ye Cang rubbed his aching back, his voice slightly hoarse, "You just wouldn't sleep."

"It would be better to get some rest earlier."

Shenyue Xingyun lightly patted her back and said, "I'm sorry."

"I didn't think that much about it at the time."

The first treatment took more than half an hour. Although Yekura's experience was quite good, Shingetsu Seiun felt that he hadn't performed well; if he had paid more attention, the effect would have been even better.

One hour.

One hour.

One more hour.

Before we knew it, it was almost dawn.

Shenyue Xingyun: "Besides, you didn't object, did you?"

Ye Cang's eyes widened: "I didn't object?"

"Would you like to recall what happened yesterday?"

Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment, then blushed and said, "I... I thought you were joking."

After stretching his aching limbs and feeling his joints coming back to normal, Shenyue Xingyun asked, "Where do you want to go next?"

Yekura: "Didn't we say we'd go to Konoha together?"
