Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 552 Recovery
#
At this moment, in the Iron Kingdom, outside the Snow Castle,
The figures hidden in the heavy snow were swept away by the sudden azure sword energy!

Uchiha Obito stared blankly at the snow castle that suddenly turned into ruins. His eyes turned scarlet in an instant, and the three black jade beads in them spun violently uncontrollably.
“——Lin!!!”

His body trembled, his eyes widened in an instant, and the skin on his face twisted hideously.
Without paying attention to the huge wooden thorns that were flying and falling from the sky after the aftermath of the sword energy in front of him, Obito used his hands and feet to get up from the ground and rushed towards the snow castle, towards the Susanoo who was standing proudly there!

however,
At this moment, a white hand suddenly pressed down on Obito's shoulder.

"Obito, don't go!"

The familiar voice that sounded beside his ears startled Obito. He turned his head and looked in surprise at the red-haired woman who suddenly appeared behind him. She was wearing a cloak and hiding her cheeks under the hood.

"Kushina-sensei!?"

"And everyone."

At this time, behind the three-person team appeared not only Uzumaki Kushina who was supposed to be in Konoha at the moment, but also more ANBU wearing ANBU uniforms, as well as the heads of the three Ino, Shika and Chou families, Aburame Shiwei and other powerful jonin.

"Obito, calm down, Minato will protect Rin." Kushina frowned, standing in the ruins of the burning snow forest, looking solemnly in the direction of the snow castle.

"Now, you have a more important task!"

Behind her, Nara Shikaku, who also had a serious expression on his face, reported to Kushina:
"It matches the intelligence. The one who attacked the Five Kage Summit should be Uchiha Madara who was resurrected by Orochimaru. Orochimaru is very likely nearby."

"The perception team has been dispersed, and Zhiwei's bugs are densely distributed in every corner nearby, but there is no report now. The only thing we can try is to try our luck with the curse seal and use your malicious detection ability."

"Is everything alright, Kushina?"

Kushina nodded, and red chakra gradually emanated from her body, turning into a tailed beast coat on her body.

She closed her eyes slightly and began to perceive her surroundings on a large scale.

"What on earth is going on?" Obito stared blankly at the scene. Seeing the adults who suddenly appeared, he felt extremely anxious. He didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only look for help at Nara Shikaku who was leading the team.

"Shikaku-sama. Kushina-sensei, why are you here?"

"And Linlin, Kakashi and Minato-sensei are all over there, I..."

Nara Shikaku patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice,

"Uchiha Obito, what you should do now is to calm down and sense the Heavenly Curse Seal on your body. According to the investigation of Mitarashi Anko, the owner of the Curse Seal will have a special feeling when approaching."

"This may be an important bargaining chip for us to find Orochimaru."

Looking at Uchiha Obito who looked anxious, Nara Shikaku paused again, knowing that if he didn't explain clearly, this kid would probably not cooperate, and then he spoke again:

"Since it has come to this, the confidentiality clause can be abolished. It's okay to tell you."

"This time Konoha came to participate in the Five Kage Talks, ostensibly to deal with the other four nations, but in fact, we mobilized a large number of elite ninjas, led by the acting Hokage Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina Uzumaki. We specifically brought along Nohara Rin, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, to use her as bait to capture Orochimaru who defected from the village."

"But, I didn't expect that it was not Orochimaru who appeared at this time, but Uchiha Madara!"

“And now,”

"The only way to solve the problem of Impure World Reincarnation is to capture the practitioner and force him to cancel the Impure World Reincarnation technique!"

Nara Shikaku let out a deep breath, "So, do you understand?"

"It will be useless for you to rush over to the battlefield now. Uchiha Madara's opponent is the Five Kage, and I have explained clearly what you should do at this time."

"If you still want to go, I won't stop you."

"I, I." Uchiha Obito raised his head and took a look at the huge Susanoo, and couldn't help but clenched his fists. He knew that without the Mangekyō Sharingan, he was not qualified to participate in that level of battlefield. The only thing he could rely on at this time was the [Heaven's Curse Seal] given to him by Uchiha Ci, which was more suitable for the current situation.

What Nara Shikaku told him was the most correct solution at the moment.

but but
Obito lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and took a deep breath.

"I understand."

He closed his eyes tightly and focused his whole body and mind on the [Heavenly Curse Seal] behind his neck.

however,
Just a moment later,

Before Kushina, who had already begun to try to sense, and Yamato and Mitarashi Anko beside her could come to a conclusion,

Obito suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise:

“Hey, I felt it!”

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked by Obito's sudden words and turned to look. Kushina even opened her eyes and looked at Uchiha Obito in astonishment.

"Obito, have you sensed Orochimaru's location?"

"Uh" Uchiha Obito was stunned, thinking, this curse seal was given to me by Uchiha Ci, how can I sense Orochimaru?
"This chakra fluctuation is very familiar, but the location is very far away and yet very close. It's very strange."

He scratched his head and inexplicably felt the curse mark on the back of his neck begin to heat up.
then,

It's getting hotter and hotter, almost burning through the skin!
"Hiss!" Obito couldn't help but bar his teeth. He bent down and wanted to reach out his hand to press the curse seal that was getting hotter and hotter.

however,
Snapped!
A hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed Obito's wrist as he was trying to press the curse seal!
Everyone present stared at this scene with a look of confusion and astonishment.
Watching——

The pale hand that stretched out from behind Uchiha Obito's neck!

Then,

The owner of this pale hand pressed Obito's palm down and pulled it down violently, grabbing his shoulders and slowly pulling his body out of the curse seal!
From the arms, to the shoulders, to the head, to the torso, and finally.
He stepped on Uchiha Obito's head, which seemed to have been sucked out of all its strength in an instant, and crawled out of the curse seal completely, and shook his waist-length black hair in a very cool manner!

"what"

now,

Everyone present looked at the figure that crawled out of the curse seal behind Uchiha Obito's neck with shock.

Although the figure was different from the young man three years ago, everyone present was shocked to recognize him the moment they saw his face.
"You are."

"Uchiha Ci. No, Hokage-sama!"

"It's the Yondaime-sama Hokage!"

"Wait." Kushina looked at the boy in front of her who had grown to about 1.7 meters tall, and her expression suddenly changed.
She reached out her hand to stop the people behind her, and looked cautiously at the boy who was silent, expressionless, and motionless, like a puppet.

"This chakra is wrong!"

"You are not Ci! Who are you?!"
