Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 838 Leaving and Taking the Blame

As if he had noticed the fluctuations in Uchiha Obito's mind under the mask, Zetsu, who had been standing silently beside him with a pitcher plant on his head and a body divided into black and white, suddenly spoke: "Did you find anything?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito took a deep breath, and then told Jue his findings and speculations.

Then he said, "The Four-Tails from the Hidden Rock Village is indeed missing, and the person who did it is most likely Qing Ming."

"Qingming? Is that the Qingming from your Uchiha clan?"

Jue opened his mouth to confirm.

"Not bad!"

Uchiha Obito nodded, and after a slight hesitation, he explained: "I forgot to tell you that this Uchiha Qingming, like me, has already opened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"what?"

Upon hearing the news, even Black Zetsu couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

After wandering around the ninja world for a thousand years, Black Zetsu had seen at least eight hundred Uchiha ninjas, if not a thousand.

Among so many Uchiha ninjas, in the same generation, or even over a longer period of time, only one or two people can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan at the same time.

This generation of the Uchiha clan already has Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Shisui, and there is actually a third person who has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. How could he not be surprised?
That's right, Black Zetsu already knew that Uchiha Shisui had opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Because this was originally activated when he and Uchiha Obito were acting together, and the other party was stimulated by Uchiha Obito.

just
"This Qingming?"

Zetsu glanced at Uchiha Obito's profile.

He didn't know when Qingming opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and when Uchiha Obito knew and confirmed this.

But no matter what, the fact that Uchiha Obito had concealed this matter from him before meant that he must have his own little plans.

but
"It's just a chess piece. No matter how you dodge and maneuver, you can't jump out of this chessboard in the end."

Jue said so in his heart.

He suppressed the thought in his mind and continued: "Then shall we go find Qing Ming next?"

Like Uchiha Obito, he also wanted to confirm Uchiha Aomei's purpose in capturing the Four-Tails.

For Uchiha Obito, whether it is to realize Uchiha Madara's plan or his own plan, the nine tailed beasts must gather together.

The same goes for Black Zetsu.

Therefore, he also needs to confirm Qingming's purpose.

However, after hearing his words, Uchiha Obito refused, and heard him say: "No, let's not go find him first. Before that, we have to confirm one thing first."

"what's up?"

Jue asked curiously.

"Is Nanao still in Takigakure Village?"

Uchiha Obito answered with a serious expression.

"What do you mean?"

Jue's heart skipped a beat and he spoke directly.

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito shook the Iwagakure Anbu in his hand and said, "Just now, when I was reading this person's memory, I found a piece of news."

"what news?"

Jue asked.

"It seems that a few months ago, when the war had just ended, Takigakure Village also secretly searched for someone. It seemed that their village also lost something very important."

Uchiha Obito did not hide anything and said bluntly: "Before, the Iwagakure Village did not pay too much attention to it, but after a period of investigation recently, they found that the thing lost by the Takigakure Village was very likely the Seven-Tails."

"Nanao."

Jue murmured with an unpleasant expression.

"Yes, it's Nanao."

Uchiha Obito nodded affirmatively, and then said: "If this news is true, you should understand what it means?" Hearing this, Jue did not answer.

Of course he knew what that meant.

This means that Qingming is not simply targeting the Iwagakure Village or a certain tailed beast, but is purposefully capturing more tailed beasts.

Whether he did it to increase his strength or for some other reason, he could not tolerate doing so.

However, these are all things that happened later. The most crucial thing is that Black Zetsu suddenly discovered that in just a few years, he seemed to have lost absolute control over many things in the ninja world.

If Uchiha Obito hadn't said it today, he wouldn't even know that the Uchiha clan had one more ninja with the Mangekyō Sharingan, nor did he know that the Takigakure Village had lost the Seven-Tails.

This gave him a bad feeling in his heart, and his originally confident plan of "saving his mother" also became a little uncertain.

Suppressing the haze in his heart, Black Zetsu said in a hoarse voice: "What else do you know?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito looked at Black Zetsu with some surprise, as if he had just met him for the first time.

In the past, everything seemed to be under control in front of him.

This time, he actually showed a hint of panic.

That’s right, as he possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, he was very keenly aware of this.

Although it was only a moment and the panic was not that obvious, he still noticed it.

This made him feel a little more curious, but also a little more vigilant.

As for why say again?
It was simple. He was already somewhat wary of this mental creation of Uchiha Madara.

After all, he had no intention of following Uchiha Madara's arrangement and executing the "Moon Eye" plan. He just wanted to create a perfect world where Nohara Rin existed. Peace and the like didn't matter to him at all.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Uchiha Obito quickly gathered his thoughts, shook his head at Zetsu, and said, "That's all I know."

Upon hearing this, Jue looked at Uchiha Obito seriously. Uchiha Obito also looked at him, and the two looked at each other silently.

After a moment, Jue opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, coming from far away and approaching quickly.

Obviously, the abnormality here has been discovered by the Iwagakure Village.

Without any hesitation, Uchiha Obito broke the neck of the Iwagakure Anbu in his hand with a "click".

Then, he activated the teleportation ability of 'Shenwei' and transferred himself, the Iwagakure Anbu in his hand, and the three corpses on the ground to the Shenwei space.

Seeing this, Jue also activated the 'Mayfly Technique'.

The next moment, his feet slowly merged into the ground.

Then, with the help of an organic network composed of underground plant roots and water flows, he left the Iwagakure Village and even the Land of Earth at an unimaginable high speed.

Shortly after they left, several Iwagakure ANBU appeared here.

Looking at the fresh blood on the ground, they judged that the enemy had not left yet, so they immediately mobilized people and started a large-scale search nearby.

But unfortunately, their efforts were doomed to be in vain.

Finally, when the report on the disappearance of the Anbu team was handed to Ohnoki, the intelligence analysis department concluded that the person who committed the crime was suspected to be the mysterious man who had previously captured the Four-Tails.

This made Ohnoki very angry, and he once again stepped up his investigation into the two incidents.

At this time, Qingming didn't know that he had inexplicably taken the blame for someone else.

There is no way. At this stage, Uchiha Obito has not been exposed to the world. The "Kamui" he possesses, at certain times, is too similar to the "Flying Thunder God Jutsu".

In this situation, it is normal for him to take the blame.

However, even if Qingming knew about this, he would not care too much.

Anyway, he doesn't worry about having too many debts, and he doesn't feel itchy if he has too many lice.

As long as it doesn't affect his cultivation, he doesn't want to pay attention to what happens in the outside world.

Such focused practice also enabled him to achieve good results.
