Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

How should we deal with Obito Uchiha?

Chapter 159 Onoki: Uchiha Obito, I killed him myself.

"That damn guy..."

Black Zetsu cursed his boss inwardly, his heart filled with rage.

They always think of one trick at a time, showing no respect for the hard work of ordinary people. Their minds are full of ideas all day long, but they never think about the details!

"What's the rush? Didn't you think you could convince Uchiha Aokiji before? Why are you in such a hurry now!"

"After hiding in a cave for so many years, your logic and thinking have become rotten. You should just stay home and wait for news, instead of ordering me around!"

After severing his connection with Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu's inner thoughts quickly changed.

One second he was a loyal dog, bowing and scraping, the next he was cursing Madara Uchiha's impatience in his heart.

Black Zetsu took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anger.

If Madara Uchiha wasn't the Body of All Things, but rather the best vessel to hold all the chakra in the ninja world for the Eye of the Moon Plan, and the best vessel for the resurrection of Kaguya Otsutsuki, Black Zetsu would have long since been unable to hold back…

Let whoever wants to serve me do so; go find somewhere cool to stay!

But apart from Madara Uchiha, there really wasn't another physical body in the entire ninja world that he could pick and choose from.

There's nothing that can be done about it; that's just how monopolies are.

Therefore, Black Zetsu could only feel smug in his heart, while in practice he still had to honestly serve Uchiha Madara.

"Madara Uchiha's plans are always so ordinary, even cliché, yet he's so confident. If I weren't cleaning up his messes, with his limited cunning and scheming, he might as well sleep peacefully in the Pure Land after he dies!"

"He's even worthy of being the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki and activating Infinite Tsukuyomi?!"

Black Zetsu cursed one last time, then began to ponder in his mind:

"This guy is eager to turn Obito into a villain; he even told me before about his plan to retrieve the Rinnegan..."

"Is this because they saw that Uchiha Aokiji's combat power was rising too quickly, and they were worried that they wouldn't be able to control this pawn, so they're making a backup plan?"

Thinking of Qing Shui's performance, Black Zetsu's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Due to the barriers and security measures, even White Zetsu were unable to infiltrate the Root's flying units; it was a top secret.

After appearing on the battlefield of Hidden Mist, not only was Madara Uchiha shocked, but even Black Zetsu, who had been wandering the ninja world for a thousand years, was moved...

This new type of warfare gave Black Zetsu a whiff of change.

Given Uchiha Aokiji's decisive, unconventional thinking, and strong execution skills, Black Zetsu believed that Aokiji was not someone without his own thoughts, but rather someone who must have his own set of theories and wouldn't blindly submit to the Eye of the Moon Plan...

In particular, Aokiji's strength is beyond what an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha could match...

Black Zetsu had secretly wondered how he could make Qing Shui turn evil.

But after thinking it over for a long time, Black Zetsu realized that the combination of Qing Shui's various ninjutsu put him in an extremely safe situation. As long as he didn't want to cause trouble, almost no one could do anything to him...

There's simply no way to find a angle to follow Qing Shui's lead.

From this perspective, Madara Uchiha's concerns are justified.

However, Black Zetsu was very annoyed. Trying to corrupt Obito Uchiha was definitely not an easy task.

If we follow Madara Uchiha's script, he would probably first trick Obito Uchiha into being ambushed and surrounded, then rescue him and send him to Madara Uchiha for initial contact and ideological transformation.

During this period, his body was modified, filled with White Zetsu to increase his combat power, and a talisman was planted in his heart to imbue him with an irresistible control.

Afterwards, they would find an opportunity to let Obito Uchiha see Rin Uchiha, or rather Black Zetsu, die a gruesome death in front of him, triggering a violent emotional upheaval. Under this extreme stimulation, they would re-brainwash him and complete the indoctrination of the Eye of the Moon Plan…

If it were an ordinary ninja world war, then Black Zetsu might have a better chance of finding a similar opportunity.

But now Konoha is fighting against four opponents. Black Zetsu is facing two perfect Jinchuriki, Onoki who has mastered Dust Release and is very cunning, as well as the largest number of ninja soldiers, a total of 20,000!

This is with one-fifth of Konoha's military strength, fighting against Iwagakure, which has been preparing for war for twenty years. The pressure is immense...

In this situation, even Black Zetsu cannot guarantee the smooth progress of the script.

If something had gone wrong, Obito Uchiha might have actually died at the hands of the Iwagakure ninja.

War is ruthless, especially for the disadvantaged side.

"This is really troublesome. Madara Uchiha has no idea how much I'm suffering!"

Black Zetsu racked his brains, trying to come up with an enemy that could easily overwhelm Obito Uchiha and also save him...

However, with the three-tomoe jade and special training from Uchiha Setsuna, even the Jonin of Iwagakure are not enough to defeat him. Only Onoki and the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki have enough strength.

However, with these three, Black Zetsu is difficult to control the pace of the fight and could easily kill Obito Uchiha...

"It's alright, Lin, don't worry."

Looking at the sullen Black Zetsu, Obito Uchiha put his arm around it and whispered, "Although war is terrible, with me by your side, everything will pass..."

“I know, Obito.”

Black Zetsu forced a smile, glancing at Minato Namikaze, who was also smiling at him, and Kakashi, who was shaking his head silently to the side. His heart sank.

Their class also had Minato Namikaze, a user of the Flying Thunder God Technique, as their teacher…

If Obito Uchiha encounters a problem, Minato Namikaze could arrive almost instantly, adding another uncertainty to Obito's plan to turn to the dark side, further increasing the difficulty...

Black Zetsu fell into deep thought: how could he get Obito Uchiha to temporarily leave the scene without endangering his life?

The first step of the plan has now stalled.

What Black Zetsu didn't expect was that while it hesitated, the Iwagakure faction couldn't hold back any longer.

The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. Black Zetsu understood this principle. He knew that Obito Uchiha might be targeted by Iwagakure, so he had to be more careful and cautious in his plans.

However, Black Zetsu still couldn't see through everyone's heart and failed to detect how much Onoki feared the Uchiha clan's genius.

He was so afraid that he had to take action himself!

Within the Hidden Rock Army formation.

Ōnoki hovered in mid-air, staring at the military map before him, his brow furrowed. He said in a deep voice, "Konoha, they came prepared..."

"Based on the samples brought back by the Explosion Release Unit, it is clear that the so-called new explosive tags and booby traps are new ninja tools developed by Konoha after they stole our bloodline limit."

Huang Tu nodded and echoed:

"When you went to the Land of Iron for the meeting, the Explosion Release Unit did encounter an enemy attack. The entire squad disappeared without a trace. Now it should be confirmed that this was done by Konoha."

"But how did Konoha acquire the Explosion Release bloodline limit?"

Onoki glared at his son with exasperation and said fiercely, "Can't you even figure this out?!"

“That’s a village with someone like Tobirama Senju. It sounds outrageous to plunder a bloodline limit, but I’m sure Tobirama Senju definitely thought about it and even tried to do it!”

"You think that Konoha, that evil village, is like Iwagakure, which embodies the Will of Stone and focuses on self-development?"

"Putting aside other things, a few years ago, there were rumors that Konoha was trying to replicate Wood Release. These rumors are not unfounded."

Onoki suddenly understood many things.

The reason why Konoha is so confident seems to be that it inherited some kind of forbidden technique from Tobirama Senju, which makes them unafraid of even war.

The forbidden technique of plundering bloodline limits does indeed possess such power.

The minefield also caused a lot of trouble for Iwagakure, resulting in numerous casualties.

"I understand, Father. So what do we do now?" Huang Tu asked respectfully, his expression hardening.

"Konoha must still be hiding other techniques; there are probably many more of those insidious forbidden techniques left behind by Tobirama Senju..."

Onoki squinted at the map and held up a finger:

"First, we should have elite Earth Release ninjas form a mine-clearing unit and collectively release Earth Release techniques to disarm those hidden bombs."

"Secondly, we must be wary of the enemy's actions. This booby trap will only be the first powerful counterattack we encounter from Konoha, not the last."

"Thirdly, spread the news that Konoha stole Explosion Release techniques, inciting the village's ninjas to become indignant and prepare for the final battle!"

Huang Tu nodded silently, noting down the plan devised by his earthen shadow father.

In the village of Iwagakure, there are no elders who assist the Tsuchikage or are like a second Tsuchikage. Everyone is just a brick under the Tsuchikage, moved wherever needed and simply to carry out orders.

During the years that Onoki ruled Iwagakure, he proved that he did a very good job as the Tsuchikage.

For example, now, Onoki is becoming increasingly wary, starting to wonder if a second forbidden technique awaits them...

Is it possible that the booby trap is just a decoy?

Having witnessed Madara Uchiha's presence, participated in the First Shinobi World War, and was in his prime, Onoki displayed extremely mature Kage-level qualities.

"Father, should we inform the other villages about the booby traps..."

Huang Tu tentatively asked, "According to the intelligence from Wuyin, it seems that their battle situation is not going very well."

Onoki sneered and waved his hand dismissively: "Let them handle it themselves!"

"Huang Tu, you must remember, they are not our allies, but jackals who will try to steal our spoils after we destroy Konoha. Letting them suffer more losses will only benefit us, not harm us!"

Huang Tu hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.

The act of plundering spoils is a traditional skill of Iwagakure. Back in the time of the Second Tsuchikage Mu and the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, the two Kage, separated by the Land of Lightning, fought fiercely over spoils and ultimately perished together.

It can only be said that this is a kind of obsession of Iwagakure or Onoki—it comes from the teachings of their mentor.

"Don't rush into an attack. Let the other hidden villages scout ahead for us..."

Onoki's eyes flickered: "But there's still one thing we need to do proactively, and that's to eliminate the genius on the other side!"

"According to information from Hikari and Higashi no Shijin, Konoha has a genius named Uchiha Obito. He awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of ten and is also proficient in the Uchiha clan's tactics and Fire Release techniques. He has extraordinary potential and is extremely dangerous..."

"Especially his fiery temper and extreme arrogance, which even led him to shout slogans similar to those of Madara Uchiha, is truly remarkable."

"According to intelligence, this brat has already appeared on our side of the battlefield. Huang Tu, I'm going to kill him myself..."

Onoki's eyes were filled with a fierce killing intent:

"Let Old Purple and Han deal with that toad disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi and that blond brat who seems to know the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"I'll go find that Uchiha Obito and use Dust Release to turn the future risks of Iwagakure into ashes before I can rest easy!"

Huang Tu looked at his father silently and sighed inwardly.

His father's phobia of the Uchiha clan seems to be a chronic condition he developed from childhood, and it's estimated that it will never be cured in this lifetime...
