Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 550: The curtain rises, the Five Kage Talks!
#
"Achoo! Slurp, ugh, ugh, Achoo!"

Snow was falling all over the sky, and the forest paths were covered with silver.

A hedgehog-haired boy wearing goggles and a snow-white cape crossed his arms and shivered all over. He was frozen like a grandson. He sneezed several times in a row and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"It's so cold. By the way, why did the Five Kage Summit choose a place like this?"

Next to him, a boy with short brown hair and a Konoha forehead protector shook his head and answered seriously:
"Senior Obito, the Land of Iron has always existed as a neutral country. After the first Five Kage Summit, three Ninja World Wars have broken out between the five major countries. They can no longer trust each other. Under such circumstances, the Five Kage Summit was initiated. Holding it in a neutral country is the best choice for the five major countries."

Uchiha Obito sniffed, tightened his cloak, and snorted disdainfully:

"I understand the logic, but Yamato, the Iron Country, isn't so neutral, is it?"

"During the battle of Yunming City, their general even attempted to assassinate Uchiha Ci. Well, although this guy was eventually beaten to death by Ci."

"That's two different things," Yamato shook his head helplessly and explained.
"Senior Fourth Hokage did not attempt to assassinate the Daimyo of Lightning Country as a Konoha ninja. The dispute between him and Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country and the samurai leader at that time was a response to the Daimyo's call. In theory, it was not the Iron Country that chose to participate in the Third Shinobi World War."

"Tsk, that sounds nice." Uchiha Obito snorted disdainfully.
He thought about it and decided not to discuss this topic any further. Instead, he suddenly turned his head and looked at a girl who was hanging behind the two of them. She lowered her head and looked dazed.

"What about this guy? Why did we bring her along on this mission?!"

“She’s not even a Chunin, right? Also, what mission are we on this time? And also, why are you the captain, Yamato? Damn it!”

"When I'm on the same team with Kakashi and Rin, I have to listen to that snotty-faced guy's orders every day. But I'm obviously the strongest in this team. Why do the two of them follow Minato-sensei to participate in S-rank missions, while I have to listen to the orders of a little brat like you here? Why the hell are you wuwuwu!"

Obito clutched his cloak tightly and began to mutter meaningless words madly.

Yamato followed Obito's gaze and looked behind him, and saw the dazed girl.

Judging from his hairstyle, he should have had a wolf-mane ponytail before, but now his long hair is loose, looking quite dishevelled. Under his oversized cape is a yellow vest, and underneath that is a fishnet lining.

At this moment, she had two thick dark circles under her eyes, her hair was disheveled, and she looked haggard, as if she had just been released from prison.

In fact,

Yamato, who is a member of the Anbu, knows the inside story and it turns out that the other party had just been released from prison.

The reason for the arrest was
She is Orochimaru's disciple.

Mitarashi red beans.

As for the reason for forming this team——

"Senior Obito, haven't you discovered it yet?" Yamato lowered his head, lowered his voice, and spoke with some disappointment.

"A common trait among the three of us."

"Characteristics?" Obito was stunned, stopped, turned around and looked at the other two people in the team.

Uchiha Obito, Yamato, Mitarashi Red Bean,

The three formed such a team under the order of the acting Hokage Minato Namikaze.
The number is unknown, the mission is unknown, the captain is unknown, and except that the destination of the mission is the Iron Country, nothing else is known!
Uchiha Obito didn't even know what he was going to do, nor did he know whether the captain of this team was Yamato. However, since it was not himself, and it couldn't be Mitarashi Anko who had just graduated and was still a Genin, he naturally thought that Yamato was the captain of this team.

but now.
What do the three of us have in common?
No, these two guys are not as handsome as me!
Seeing that he still looked innocent, Yamato couldn't help but twitch his lips and sighed:
"Curse seal."

"The three of us all have curse marks!"

Yamato took a deep breath, stopped, then raised his palm, revealing the word "one" in the center of his palm.

In fact, even though he was a member of the Anbu, he knew not much more about the mission than Uchiha Obito. He just guessed what they could do based on some clues.

At this time, Mitarashi Anko, who was hanging at the end of the team, raised her head blankly and looked at the two people in front of her, somewhat confused as to why they didn't leave.

The three of them stopped in the snow at the same time.
At the end of the sight is the destination of this mission.
A huge fortress hidden in the endless snow.
Likewise, this is also the venue for the Five Kage Summit.

Iron Country, Snow Castle. Yamato showed Uchiha Obito and Mitarashi Anko the black "一" curse seal in his hand and took a deep breath.

"Obito-senpai, you should have something called the [Heaven's Curse Seal] on your body, right?"

"And Mitarashi Anko, you also have the [Heaven's Curse Seal] left by Orochimaru on your body, right?"

Yamato looked at the two of them and said solemnly,

"This curse seal of mine was also left by Orochimaru. It is called [Hokage-style Ear-observing Technique: Kuan Ruo Chuu Shou]."

"We all have something related to Orochimaru,"

"So, I presume—"

Uchiha Obito became visibly excited, his eyes suddenly widened.
"You mean-"

On the side, Mitarashi Anko, who had just gone through multiple rounds of scrutiny, looked up blankly. When she heard the name from Yamato's mouth, a strong and complex hatred instantly rose in her eyes.
"Orochimaru!?"

"We are here to capture Orochimaru!" Uchiha Obito said in a shocked voice.
"Fuck, Minato-sensei, no, Acting Hokage-sama actually trusts me so much!?"

"Fool!"

Yamato instantly lowered his head, covered his face, twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked speechless.
"We fight Orochimaru? Are you serious?!"

"That guy is now an S-rank rebel ninja! He is the villain who took away the seven tailed beasts of the five great nations by himself!"

Yamato shook his head and analyzed in a deep voice:

"I think our mission is to serve as the outer guard of the Five Kage Summit. We should use the curse seals on our bodies to sense the location of Orochimaru to prevent him from raiding the Five Kage Summit!"

Then, as if to prove his words, he raised his head and pointed to the huge snow fortress in the heavy snow.
"After all, everyone knows that Orochimaru suddenly set his sights on the nine tailed beasts."

"And at this time,"

"There happened to be a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki at the Five Kage Summit!"

"Obito-senpai, you should know this very well!"

Hear this,

Uchiha Obito's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in shock:
"You mean, Orochimaru might be targeting--"

However, before Obito could finish his words,

far away,

The huge snow castle in the heavy snow suddenly collapsed, and a huge and terrifying object hidden in the heavy snow rose from the ground!

"--boom!!!"

A crescent-shaped blue sword energy flashed across the heads of the three people in an instant!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
In an instant, the snow forest covering several hectares was cut down into a dry land with only countless tree stumps left!
Severe heat and wildfires spread.

Uchiha Obito looked up blankly, his crystal clear scarlet Sharingan reflected an endless blizzard and a mess of burning ruins.

then,

He said the name in a daze.

"The three-tailed Jinchuuriki, Nohara Rin!"
