Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 191 Madara: Bringing back an idiot is fine, isn't it!

Somewhere in the Land of Grass.

Obito Uchiha emerged from underground and began scavenging resources in the forest.

"Senior, how did you manage to do that?"

"What?"

"Chakra? I don't have that much chakra, and my Earth Release ninjutsu is terrible. I can't even create Earth Release chakra right now."

Obito answered.

Black Zetsu laughed, "This is a very simple method. As for chakra, you forgot, I am a special combination of the power of my ancestors and Madara's chakra. Giving you a little bit will definitely be enough."

"Oh, that's true."

As Obito spoke, he ate wild fruit with gusto.

After barely managing to fill his stomach with wild fruits and water, he let out a sigh and said, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought some soldier's rations. At least I wouldn't have gone hungry."

"This is already very good."

Black Zetsu chuckled, "Back in our day, wars were frequent. You could easily run into the enemy in the wilderness if you weren't careful. We didn't need any reason to fight each other..."

He sighed.

"So, in a sense, Hashirama Senju and my strategy did achieve a certain degree of peace in the ninja world, but this peace was very short-lived."

Black Zetsu has become addicted to the role.

He completely immersed himself in the role of Madara.

If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.

Completely believe that you are Madara, and speak and think from Madara's perspective in everything you do and say, so that you will not reveal any flaws.

Moreover.

In front of Madara, he also plays the role of another spiritual entity of Madara, so the two do not conflict and there is no need to worry about revealing his true colors.

During this time, Obito heard many stories from Black Zetsu about what happened back then.

therefore……

He had already developed a strong sense of empathy for the chaos and cruelty of that time, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but once again admire the greatness of Madara and Hashirama Senju.

"You're right, senior. To explore the path to eternal peace, this little bit of hardship is nothing!"

Obito cheered himself up.

Then, he looked around, a look of confusion on his face: "But, senior, where is this place?"

"have no idea."

"what?"

Obito was stunned for a moment. "You don't know where this is, why did you bring me here!"

He originally thought that "Ban" had a very clear direction and knew where to go, which was why it guided him all the way.

result.

It turns out that the other party themselves didn't know either.

Black Zetsu glanced at him and said, "Back in our time, although there were quite a few countries and ninja villages, the borders and terrain still changed slightly over time."

He paused for a moment before answering.

"However, we should already be outside the Land of Fire. Besides, I have a strange connection with the real Madara. I can sense that he is in this area. As long as we search in this direction, we shouldn't go wrong."

"Is that so?"

Obito believed it again.

He mustered his courage and said, "Okay, then let's keep moving firmly in the right direction! Even if we fail, it will still be a life without regrets!"

As he spoke, Obito let out a howl.

Black Zetsu chuckled to himself.

Then he offered his suggestions.

"Obito, before that, we need to find a suitable person to get clothes and money from. Your clothes are too conspicuous, and if it's not too dangerous, we don't need to keep using Earth Release to travel."

"You can't take other people's things!"

Obito refused outright.

Black Zetsu was slightly taken aback, and was truly dumbfounded for a second.

"We can borrow some from nobles. They have a lot of clothes and money that they don't need anymore. Taking them over will allow them to circulate instead of sitting in the warehouse and rotting."

"Well... okay."

Obito was quickly persuaded.

Black Zetsu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Obito has many advantages and disadvantages, but his biggest advantage is that he is easy to fool.

As long as what he says makes some sense, he will believe it and carry it out earnestly and without any doubt.

……

The Land of Fire, in another place.

"They were here, plundering the wild fruit around."

"Yes, it is definitely Obito's aura."

Inuzuka Jaw nodded. "Minato, shall we pursue him?"

The one leading the pursuit of Obito was none other than Minato Namikaze.

This was also the result of Tsunade's careful consideration.

Minato Namikaze is strong enough to protect himself and his comrades under any circumstances. Accompanying him is his old friend Jacques Inuzuka.

The two worked together very well, and the Inuzuka clan's ninja dogs also provided great convenience.

also……

Smoke swirled around.

A figure appeared.

"Sir, this is some intelligence we have gathered."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Minato Namikaze nodded, took the intelligence scroll from the other party, and the next second, the members of the Ibri clan instantly disappeared.

Inuzuka Jacques couldn't help but sigh, "The Ibri clan's abilities aren't exactly powerful in battle, but they are certainly very competent and useful as intelligence and spy ninjas."

"Indeed, um—"

Minato Namikaze stared at the scroll in his hand, lost in thought for a moment.

According to the contents on the scroll.

Aside from a few instances of collecting Devil Fruits and water, Obito Uchiha's life was mostly fragmented and discontinuous.

In other words.

Is the opponent using Earth Release to travel?

"What's wrong?"

"The people who instigated Obito's defection were extremely skilled in Earth Release techniques, and they may also have methods to replenish their chakra."

Analysis of Minato Namikaze.

"Is their trajectory heading towards the Land of Grass, and then through the Land of Water?"

That makes sense.

Minato Namikaze already had a plan in mind.

He took out a pen and paper, quickly sent a message to Wuwei using the Flying Thunder God Technique, and then let out a breath.

"Let's speed things up and head straight to the Land of Grass!"

"it is good."

……

In the Land of Grass, Obito "borrowed" a set of clothes and money, and walked around the streets, looking at the surroundings while muttering to himself, "I know, this must be the Land of Grass."

"So this is the poor little country. No wonder I can't remember where I am."

Black Zetsu sighed.

Obito, then curious, asked why the Land of Drafts was so pitiful.

Black Zetsu naturally provided some basic information.

of course.

He hadn't forgotten that he was now "Uchiha Madara".

As they were explaining the facts, Black Zetsu suddenly felt a sense of unease as he sensed a gaze directed their way.

"Come on, someone has spotted us!"

He urged him on.

Obito immediately quickened his pace, and soon, even Obito sensed someone rapidly approaching.

"Hurry up!"

"Don't rush."

If you're going to put on a show, go all the way.

Black Zetsu subtly activated his chakra, granting Obito the ability to use Earth Release and teleport.

next moment.

Knock knock knock!

One by one, kunai fell around him, and then a figure quickly appeared.

"Obito Uchiha, come back with me."

"Who are you……"

Obito looked up, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

Minato Namikaze!

Although he wasn't familiar with Minato Namikaze, he knew the other's nickname.

Yellow flash.

In terms of speed, it is almost the same as Yoshimine Kyohiko, or even faster.

There's no escape!

Obito was anxious—

We must not fall here!

Sharingan, activate!

With the double tomoe, his perception was greatly enhanced, but...

The next instant, light and shadow flickered before my eyes.

I can't see it!

It's impossible to see clearly!

Finished!

"So, the gap between me and them is actually this big..."

A deep sense of despair flashed through his mind.

In his heart, Obito already felt he was doomed.

Although he wasn't a ninja, as a student in his final year at the ninja academy, he knew very well what leaving the village for no reason meant.

Rebellion!

The fate of rogue ninjas...

Before his eyes, it seemed as if he was recalling the experiences of the past eleven or twelve years, but in the end, Obito felt a wave of sorrow.

like--

Aside from some people and things he cared about, there wasn't much else to reminisce about.

"My life has been a complete failure!"

A thought flashed through Obito's mind.

next moment.

A flash before my eyes—

He discovered that he was already in a patch of earth.

They escaped? They escaped?

Just as I was feeling relieved, a barrier rose up in front of me.

"relax!"

Black Zetsu said quickly.

He originally intended to force Obito to awaken his Sharingan quickly by creating a crisis, but in the end, he still failed.

Obito's current situation may not be due to a crisis or his emotions, but rather his physical condition.

but.

That's not a problem.

Perfectly, the crisis can also lead to his subsequent plans.

Black Zetsu, carrying Obito, quickly descended. Seeing that the barrier was about to close, Obito's speed suddenly increased.

Immediately afterward, Obito nearly let out a scream—

Underground, a white creature grinned at him, then grabbed his hand and sped away.

"Ah!"

Amidst screams, Obito felt as if he wasn't traversing the earth, but rather "swimming" in a sea of ​​sand at an astonishing speed, with his entire body aching slightly.

"who is he?"

"I don't know, but they might actually be 'my' subordinates."

Black Zetsu answered.

Obito screamed repeatedly, saying, "At least slow down! My body..."

"If you're slow, you'll be caught up! Run!"

White Zetsu retorted.

The next instant, Obito felt as if he had passed through a layer of soil and arrived at an open area, and then—

Pfft!

It fell to the ground.

pain!

My whole body aches!

Obito grimaced, nearly fainting.

At that moment, an aged voice rang out.

"A familiar scent."

"Chakra from so long ago... I never imagined I'd be able to find it again, but..."

"Who are you?"

An aged voice came from above. Dai Tu lay on the ground, struggling to open his eyes and look up. He then saw an old man, so withered and unrecognizable, in the dim cave.

Beside him, a sickle and a round fan stood out.

Behind the old man, thick, peculiar "tubes" extended from the terrifying colossus above into his body.

"So you are my ancestor, Uchiha Madara? My name is Uchiha Obito..."

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened, his face filled with ecstatic joy. A few seconds later, everything went black and he quickly lost consciousness.

At that moment, Black Zetsu emerged from his body.

"It looks like he fainted from the pain."

"You did a great job, even better than I expected, even though you brought back an idiot."

Ban chuckled softly.

Black Zetsu said, "Konoha is too cautious. They didn't even let the Uchiha participate in the previous Shinobi World War. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble. They could have just kidnapped one during the war."

"It doesn't matter. A kind but foolish person is perfect for us to influence and manipulate. He'll be more likely to believe me."

Ban replied calmly.

Hei Jue said, "That's what I think too."

"Take him away and fuse some of the White Zetsu's cells with his. He's too weak right now. If we want him to awaken his Sharingan quickly, we need to modify his physique."

"yes!"

……

In Tsunade's office in Konoha, Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara looked at Tsunade and Kyohiko with expectant expressions.

"If Minato-senpai intervenes, he'll definitely be able to bring him back, right?"

"this……"

Tsunade had no choice but to look at Kyohiko.

It's not like she has much experience in comforting girls!

Jingyan pondered how to tell them tactfully—

Even if Minato Namikaze were to intervene, there's a high probability he wouldn't be able to capture Obito.

He could tell that it was Black Zetsu who made the move.

Once they escaped the Land of Fire, they would infiltrate Madara's hiding place. With the Gedo Mazo and Black Zetsu blocking their way, no one could find Madara's residence.

Just thinking...

Jingyan sensed a fluctuation of chakra.

Got it!

No need to use your brain.

Jingyan waited for a moment, and then a toad emerged from the air, landed on the table, looked around, and finally fixed its eyes on Jingyan.

"News about Watergate!"

"The mission failed. Obito was taken away. The other side has an Earth Release master helping him. In addition, there is an entity controlling Obito that he cannot sense."

"That's what the toad that's delivering the message said."

"I understand. Where did Minato chase after them?"

"The Land of Grass".

"Is there any other information?"

"That's all, quack!"

The toad responded.

Jingyan nodded, dispelling the other party, and then, regaining his senses, he saw—

All four women were looking at him.

Tsunade, Shizune, and also Kurenai and Rin.

"Did everyone hear that?"

Kyohiko looked at Tsunade, "Hokage-sama, I think we can confirm that the other party is some kind of spiritual entity with special chakra that can bypass most sensory methods."

"What a hassle!"

Tsunade rubbed her temples. "Damn Madara, even in death he won't give us peace. And as you said, they must be connected to the Land of Water and Kirigakure. Otherwise, why would Kirigakure cooperate with them?"

"Is this retaliation from Kirigakure? After all, quite a few members of the Kaguya clan have settled in Konoha."

Silently holding the documents.

Although the Kaguya clan changed their names, everyone knows that these people are the inheritors of the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse).

"No, mute, your thinking has been misled by the other party."

Tsunade shook her head.

She rested her chin on her hand and said, "Madara doesn't care about the life or death of Kirigakure, so don't be misled by the superficial reasons. His main target is still Obito."

"The Hokage is wise!"

Jingyan immediately added a sentence.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, remained silent for a moment, then looked at Nohara Rin and said, "Rin, we will do our best to bring Obito back, but he is currently being controlled by Madara's genjutsu. Even if we bring him back..."

She sighed.

Medical ninjutsu can heal the body, but in the realm of the mind, the medical field is still in its infancy.

Nohara Rin bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, and also Kyohiko-kun, Kurenai..."

"Obito was also my classmate, and I definitely want to save him, but first we can't panic, otherwise we'll fall into their trap. Also, you guys need to work hard on your research into medical techniques in the mental field."

Jingyan offered some words of comfort and encouragement.

This research is enough for her to stay in Konoha and not leave the house for a long time.
