"it is good!"
A glint flashed in Uchiha Zō's eyes, and his fighting spirit surged.
"Proceed according to plan! Rin, you lead the team to establish a perimeter here. Shisui, you take your men and go to support the Fourth Hokage immediately!"
He spoke rapidly and gave clear commands.
"Remember that black-and-white guy I mentioned (Black Zetsu)."
Like a final, solemn admonition.
"Ready to provide support at any time!"
"understand!"
"Yes, Minister Elephant!"
Hyuga Rin and Shisui simultaneously agreed, waving cleanly and decisively as they led their respective squads in swift and powerful movements, like arrows released from a bow.
……
The Konoha elite squad, led by Uchiha Shisui, swiftly penetrated the chaotic battlefield like a sharp wedge, reaching Minato Namikaze's side.
Minato's golden hair was slightly disheveled, and his azure eyes swept over the support team. When he noticed that Uchiha Sō was not among them, his brows immediately furrowed.
"Where is Elephant Lord? Why hasn't he arrived?"
His voice carried a hint of barely perceptible anxiety; the Nine-Tails' violent onslaught was putting him under immense pressure.
"Reporting to the Hokage!"
Zhi Shui stepped forward, his speech steady yet powerful.
"Minister Elephant has been intercepted by that mysterious masked man who controls the Nine-Tailed Fox! He is leading another squad in a fierce battle against him and has specifically ordered us to come and provide support!"
He cleverly reversed cause and effect, but the result was correct—without someone to restrain "Uchiha Madara," the Nine-Tails' chaos would only have been worse.
Before he finished speaking, the three tomoe in Shisui's eyes suddenly began to spin faster, and the dark patterns instantly outlined a unique windmill-like design—the Mangekyou Sharingan, activate!
An eerie red light shone in the night, and a powerful aura of eye energy spread out, drawing sidelong glances and whispers from the surrounding ninjas.
He knew perfectly well that the core purpose of Minato's urgent message to Uchiha Zō was to utilize the legendary power of the Mangekyou Sharingan to control the tailed beasts!
The secret history of Konoha records the terrifying scene of Madara Uchiha manipulating the Nine-Tails.
What Minato needed was precisely this power that could temporarily suppress the Nine-Tails' rampage, buying him that precious opportunity to reseal it!
Uchiha Sō had already explained all of this clearly to Shisui on the way there.
"Lord Hokage,"
The still water gazes directly at the water gate; the kaleidoscope slowly rotates.
"What you need is for Brother Elephant to control the Nine-Tails with his kaleidoscope, right?"
"Exactly!"
A flicker of hope rekindled in Minato's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of caution.
"But as far as I know, even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, controlling a Tailed Beast requires a special secret technique, Shisui, you..."
He worried that Shisui did not possess the forbidden technique that Madara used back then.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Shisui's expression was solemn as he quickly responded.
"The secret technique developed by Madara Uchiha was not passed down when he defected from Konoha. At that time, there were no other Mangekyou Sharingan users in the clan."
Minato Namikaze's heart sank, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.
Is this the only hope...?
"but!"
Shizuku's tone suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable firmness.
"Before Brother Xiang sent me here, he already told me! I, who also possess these eyes, can try to use the Mangekyou Sharingan's inherent characteristic—the supreme genjutsu power of 'Kotoamatsukami'—to forcibly interfere with Kurama's consciousness!"
Even if it can't be completely controlled, it can still create opportunities for the Hokage!
His words were resolute, and the red light in his kaleidoscope-like eyes seemed to burn, filled with determination to challenge a formidable foe.
Minato Namikaze understood instantly!
No wonder the elephant brought the still water!
It turns out that he had already taken all possibilities into account, and even prepared alternative solutions for the differences in kaleidoscope abilities!
This is the real Uchiha Sō, the man who never fights a battle unprepared and who never makes a mistake!
"I understand!"
Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress all his fatigue and stress into his heart.
He straightened his back, and his golden chakra cloak became bright and solid once more, like a burning flame. He looked at Shisui, his gaze intense, filled with entrustment and trust.
"Shisui-kun! Next... I'm counting on you!"
Chapter 148, "The Chosen One" Obito
Uchiha Sō's plan was actually finalized the moment he received Nagato's message.
Simply put, he originally intended to wait and see, waiting for the wheels of history to roll over the predetermined path: the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze sacrificed himself to seal the Nine-Tails, and Kushina Uzumaki followed suit and committed suicide.
He will naturally take over the Fifth Hokage's hat as one of the "Twin Stars of Konoha" and the head of the security forces.
However, reality never plays out according to the script.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, disappeared mysteriously; even more troublesome was Obito Uchiha, who was supposed to be a pawn, whose ambition grew wildly like weeds after gaining power.
He actually ordered Nagato to launch a surprise attack on Root and kill Danzo, thereby disrupting Konoha's focus and drawing their firepower.
He then launched a fierce attack, heading straight for Minato and unleashing the Nine-Tails!
The plan has completely gone off track.
Fortunately, Uchiha Sō was not one to cling to outdated ideas.
With the addition of this enormous variable, "Uchiha Elephant," to the world, the butterfly effect has already stirred up a storm. Adaptability?
For him, it was just an instinctive reaction.
The only uncertainty that weighed on his mind was whether Obito would return after his fierce battle with Minato.
After all, Minato Namikaze, without knowing the full extent of Obito's abilities, astonishingly discerned the true nature of "Kamui" at an astonishing speed and almost killed Obito on the spot—even Uchiha Zou had to secretly admire his combat talent.
However, this did not prevent him from carrying out his core plan.
If Obito returns, he will personally lead a team to intercept and kill him, while ordering Shisui to rush to Minato's aid;
If Obito does not return, he will personally go to the Nine-Tails battlefield and use the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan to forcibly suppress the Nine-Tails, precisely controlling the "force" required for the "love suicide"—he only needs to ensure that Minato Namikaze pays the price of his life for Kushina Uzumaki.
As expected, Obito has now appeared.
Uchiha Xiang's lips curled into a cold smile; this was exactly the situation he wanted.
He wanted to teach this arrogant junior a lesson and then drag him into the "Great Luo Blessed Land".
At that time, the key piece in his hand—"Nohara Rin"—will become the best bargaining chip to fool this "idiot pseudo-protagonist".
Whether it's dealing with the cunning Madara Uchiha or the legendary Kaguya Otsutsuki, Obito is a crucial pawn.
In the dense forest, Obito Uchiha had been waiting for a long time, his single eye beneath the mask gleaming with a cold light.
Uchiha Zō approached steadily, step by step.
At his waist, the "Kusanagi Sword" that had accompanied him for many years emitted a faint but excited hum, as if thirsting for the blood of a powerful enemy.
His chakra surged and boiled like lava, and pure power roared silently through his meridians.
He stopped twenty meters away. The air seemed to freeze, and an invisible pressure spread out.
"I never expected this,"
Uchiha Enoki spoke first, his voice carrying the languidness and sarcasm characteristic of the Uchiha clan, precisely striking at Obito's sore spot.
"Back then, you were a piece of trash who ran away with your tail between your legs under Jing Yue's command, but now you're able to stir up trouble. If I had known, I would have killed you back then."
"Heh," Obito's voice came through the mask, equally cold, with a twisted hint of amusement.
"As if you could actually kill me back then? Junior, it's best to refrain from making grand pronouncements."
"Oh?" Uchiha Sho chuckled, continuing to apply psychological pressure.
"I heard you were beaten like a stray dog by Minato?"
"It was just a moment of carelessness."
Obito suppressed the humiliation surging within him, striving to maintain a cold and arrogant tone.
"After all, he's the Hokage; it's not surprising he made a mistake once. But you..."
He paused deliberately, his gaze, peering through the holes in his mask, casting undisguised contempt and provocation.
"You're not Hokage either. The feeling of losing to Minato Namikaze in the Hokage competition back then must have been unpleasant, right? Besides..."
His gaze swept across Uchiha Sō's eyes, and he maliciously drawled out his words.
"How far can your kaleidoscope see?"
Before he could finish speaking, Obito Uchiha sprang into action! The chain in his hand, crafted from refined chakra metal and gleaming with a dark luster, tore through the air like a viper's tongue, hurtling straight toward Uchiha Enoshima's face with a piercing shriek!
Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!
Almost at the same instant, the Kusanagi sword in Uchiha Sho's hand burst forth with dazzling blue-white lightning, violent currents coiled around the sword, emitting a sharp sound like a thousand birds chirping!
The sword tip transformed into a bolt of lightning that tore through the night sky, piercing straight into Obito's heart!
"puff!"
The Kusanagi sword passed through Obito's body without any resistance—at the moment of contact, Obito's body twisted and became ethereal in a strange way, as if it were a phantom that did not exist!
Uchiha Enoki's attack missed!
"brush!"
