That cannot be explained by keen perception alone; it belongs to the top experts, to…

Shadow's intuition and aura!

"The Fifth Hokage... Uchiha Sō..."

Master Yuan murmured the name, his withered fingers unconsciously tapping on his knees in a slow, heavy rhythm.

"What courage, what cunning! To dare to personally infiltrate this den of dragons and tigers... all for those bloodline families?"

No, that's too narrow-minded.

He intended to use Kirigakure as a weapon to sever the dark hand of "Uchiha Madara" controlling the Mizukage, and more importantly, to personally create a new, controllable neighbor for Konoha in the East!

Suddenly, his thoughts became clear, and an astonishing light burst forth in Master Yuan's cloudy old eyes.

But then, another thought popped into his head uncontrollably, carrying a sense of absurdity and absurdity—this Fifth Hokage seems to…

Does he give his prized disciple, Terumi Mei, some "extra" attention?

The repeated expressions of "admiration" in his words, the subtle lingering of his gaze...

It is by no means merely a political consideration.

"interesting……"

The wrinkles at the corners of Master Yuan's mouth deepened, forming an indescribable expression.

"Mei is about to become the Fifth Mizukage that we recommend... and the Fifth Hokage of Konoha seems to have some feelings for her?"

Once the idea took root, it quickly took root and spread in his shrewd mind.

A political marriage?

No, perhaps it's even more "interesting" than that.

If the future Mizukage of Kirigakure could "control" that young, impetuous, and unfathomably powerful Hokage of Konoha...

Wouldn't the cooperation between the two sides be as solid as a rock?

Doesn't Konoha's promise add an extra layer of "human touch" as a guarantee?

This is practically an extra crucial factor that fate has bestowed upon the ravaged Mist Village!

It seems,

A cold, calculating glint flashed in Yuan Shi's eyes as he muttered to himself.

"We need to find an opportunity to give Ming a proper 'reminder'."

For the sake of Wuyin... she may need to do more than she imagines.

"Taking down this Hokage is laying the most solid foundation for the Mizukage position and for the future of Kirigakure!"

……

"So, only the three of you are left?"

Uchiha Eiji, accompanied by Shisui and Kakashi, arrived in front of the three figures who were also wearing masks.

Is this the Konoha Anbu he summoned to infiltrate Kirigakure?

"grown ups!"

The three ANBU members quickly knelt on the ground, but Uchiha Sho noticed that one of their hands was on their weapon.

The one with the least chakra spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Sir, could you please verify my identity?"

"Yes, of course, but I need the things you've prepared."

Uchiha Ei said coldly.

"Everyone's in a bad situation right now, so don't try any tricks!"

As they were talking, Kakashi took out a scroll, and the ANBU member who was kneeling on the ground also took out a scroll.

They exchanged scrolls, and both sides took a step back at the same time.

Kakashi and his opponent simultaneously unfurled the scrolls, inputting chakra in a special way before quickly reading the information on them.

In less than five seconds, they had closed the scrolls at the same time.

The ANBU nodded to the two people behind him, and then all three of them took off their masks.

"I'm sorry, sir, as you said, we are in a very bad situation right now."

The secret agent spoke in a low voice.

"Therefore, we must be careful."

"Yes, I understand!"

Uchiha Ei nodded, pondered for a moment, and then removed his mask.

Anyway, it's still a disguised face under the mask, so it doesn't matter.

"Next, tell me, why haven't you taken the initiative to contact us for so long after receiving the orders? Who made you make this choice?"

Chapter 172, He's Here

While Uchiha Sō was busy contacting Terumi Mei and planning to rebel against the Kirigakure bloodline clan members.

In the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure, a man with a two-toned face slowly emerged from underground.

At this moment, sitting in the Mizukage's seat was a man wearing an orange swirling mask and a black robe; this guy was none other than Uchiha Obito.

Obito had actually been controlling Kirigakure for some time.

After Rin's "death," he took over everything from Uchiha Madara, including Madara's former power in the Land of Water.

Although he had wondered why Madara Uchiha, despite having such great power in the Land of Water, was unable to stop everything that had happened to him.

At the time, Black Zetsu's explanation to him was...

Although Madara Uchiha secretly wields considerable influence in the Land of Water, the Mizukage still holds the most power within the country.

He was blinded by hatred and didn't bother to discern the truth.

Because of this, he had a crazy plan in mind at the time.

That is to control the Water Shadow and become the actual ruler of the Land of Water.

Only in this way can he carry out his revenge plan against Kirigakure.

He wants to make all those who caused Lin's death pay the price!

Obito thought this way, and that's what he did.

Originally, Obito felt that it would be difficult for him to achieve this goal in the short term.

Who knew that Yagura Karatachi would end up fighting Uchiha Zou to a standstill on the battlefield?

While he was recovering from his injuries, Obito and Black Zetsu seized the opportunity and took him into custody.

Needless to say, with Obito's support, Yagura Karatachi easily became the Fourth Mizukage.

It can be said that this period of time began after Obito became "Uchiha Madara".

Just like the legendary "chosen one," everything he wished for came true!

That's why Obito is so arrogant and conceited.

He infiltrates Konoha alone, ready to stir up trouble!

After that, he was taught a lesson by Ioku and then contacted Nagato to attack Konoha together.

Then he was defeated by Uchiha Sō and dragged into the "Great Blessed Land" where he met Rin, who was sealed away!

After his "exchange" with Uchiha Sō, he finally realized that something was wrong.

After returning to the Land of Water following his defeat, he used his abilities to secretly investigate Kirigakure's plans during the Third Shinobi World War.

He deduced from these clues that what Uchiha Sō said was true.

Because at that time, the Third Mizukage was already at odds with the elders of the Yuanshi sect.

Many of the Third Mizukage's decisions defied common sense, as if he were being controlled by a mastermind.

Obito remained remarkably calm upon learning the truth, as his worldview had already crumbled several times over, and he was used to it!

If it weren't for the fact that Rin could still be saved, and that Uchiha Sho told him that he still had a chance to redeem himself and make amends for everything he had done.

Furthermore, he also harbored a desire for revenge against Madara Uchiha, who had controlled his fate. He had probably already given up everything and ended his own life.

Why are you here?

Obito tilted his head, his voice neither cold nor indifferent.

"Of course, it's because I've discovered some interesting information!"

Black Zetsu said calmly.

It was actually quite annoyed by Obito Uchiha's tone, but in its view, it was perfectly normal.

Most of the Uchiha clan members are mentally unstable.

Although he was beaten like a defeated dog in Konoha, it's normal that he became arrogant and domineering in Kirigakure, in front of Obito who controlled the Fourth Mizukage.

"What interesting information?"

Obito frowned and said with some displeasure.

"Tell me about it!"

"After you banned outsiders from entering Kirigakure, I started having White Zetsu investigate spies within the village."

Black Zetsu gave a cruel smile.

"What's interesting is that the group of Konoha spies I've identified actually went to meet an interesting person. I think it's better to tell you about this."

"Who did you see?"

"Mei Terumi".

"what's the situation?"
