Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 237 Obito: You all have to die!

Inuzuka Tsuru and Inuzuka Go exchanged a glance, their faces filled with undisguised surprise.

Although they didn't know Jingyan's specific arrangements, the fact that Jingyan had come was enough to make them extremely happy.

This proves that Tsunade and Kyohiko have not forgotten the Inuzuka clan!

As for future plans.

veterinary……

As for the future prospects of this industry, there probably aren't many.

but.

It's still a piece of meat, after all.

Moreover, Konoha had no intention of demanding their secret techniques...

can.

The question is, what is he here for?

Inuzuka Tsurugi's brain was working rapidly.

Jingyan definitely came with a purpose; he couldn't have just been talking about these things.

After thinking for a long time, she simply said, "Kyohiko-kun, I'm a pretty straightforward person and don't tend to overthink things. Just tell me what you need us to do and how we can cooperate!"

"I have a plan that requires training the ninja birds so that they can..."

Jingyan explained his needs.

Inuzuka Tsurugi listened quietly.

She initially thought it was related to her family's secret techniques, but when she stopped, she realized it had absolutely nothing to do with them.

even.

It has nothing to do with the secret of their family raising ninja beasts; they just hope that the family can send a few people who can act as advisors to help.

That's it.

What's so difficult about that?

Inuzuka Tsuru breathed a sigh of relief. Let alone asking them to send two or three people to help, even sharing a small part of the technology would be worth considering if it could bring greater family benefits.

after all.

As far as she knew, the research on ninja beasts by the Anbu was actually quite advanced, and it was only a matter of time before they were deciphered.

of course.

Now that she can have direct contact with him, she must be even happier.

Afterwards, Kyohiko talked for a while about his plans for the future. Inuzuka Tsurugi and Inuzuka Go were both quite excited, feeling both worried and happy.

After Kyohiko left, Inuzuka Tsuru immediately rang the clan bell, gathering the clan elders and Jonin for a meeting.

This is a major event concerning the Inuzuka clan!

……

At this moment, the Uchiha clan has gradually calmed down from the previous chaos, but in secret, everyone knows that the struggle between the two factions within the clan is becoming more and more intense!

To resist or to integrate.

This is not the first time that internal strife has occurred within the Uchiha clan because of this.

During Tobirama Senju's era, a group of people wanted to rebel, but in the end, the leader of the hawkish faction, Setsuna Uchiha, was imprisoned and never left the prison until his death.

This is just another cycle of reincarnation.

This is what most ordinary people think.

but--

This time it's different!

At dusk, in a garden within the Uchiha clan's territory, a head quietly emerged from the ground.

Under the cover of Black Zetsu, Obito quietly returned to the village.

"Where is this?"

"The Uchiha clan's territory, don't you recognize it?"

Black Zetsu chuckled.

Obito looked around, a tear streaming down his face.

came back!

pity.

Now, he can only return quietly in this way, to catch a glimpse of his grandmother from afar...

Suddenly.

A figure came into their view from a street corner not far away.

Obito's eyes widened.

Lin?

What is she doing here!

He instinctively wanted to rush out, but was quickly restrained by Black Zetsu.

"Are you crazy?"

"I, I...Lin, she came to see me!"

"Fool, you're a rogue ninja now!"

Black Zetsu communicates telepathically.

Obito's actions once again refreshed his understanding of this idiot.

Although he initially targeted Obito for his "stupidity," who could have imagined that this guy would act so impulsively upon seeing Rin Nohara, forgetting even his own predicament?

This woman must die!

Black Zetsu thought to himself.

Even if we can't kill her this time, we have to find a way to kill Nohara Rin next time, otherwise this idiot will never be truly under his control!

But now—

The main goal is still to awaken Obito Uchiha's Sharingan and enable him to master the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kaleidoscope is a transformation!

Once Obito awakens his Sharingan, his abilities and ocular power will be greatly enhanced, and his strength will undergo a qualitative change.

Only then will he be able to truly be of great help.

And now.

The plan is about to begin.

Black Zetsu remained completely unmoved.

For him, this was just a small attempt; if it failed, he could wait longer.

Because he has already waited for countless years, a few more decades won't make a difference.

At this moment, as Nohara Rin gradually approached, Obito's breathing quickened, which made Black Zetsu secretly despise him.

He has never mentored such a useless "partner" before!

After a short while, Nohara Rin arrived outside a courtyard.

Obito recognized him—

Lin was heading to her own home!

To be precise, it was his grandmother's house.

Is Lin going to visit her grandmother?

He was thinking about it.

A sound came from over there.

"Lin Yao?"

"Yes, Grandma, I've come to see you and also to give you a check-up."

Rin Nohara's voice was so pleasant and gentle that Obito almost couldn't resist jumping out to give her a scare, as he always did.

but.

He has calmed down and clearly realized—

There was already a thick barrier between him and Lin.

the difference is.

Previously, Lin was busy with work and studies, while I was in the Ninja Academy, so our interactions gradually decreased.

And now.

Rin seemed to have some free time, but because he had betrayed the ninja village, they could no longer get along as before.

At that moment, Obito felt a pang of regret.

If he hadn't defected...

As he was thinking, Grandma smiled and sighed.

"I know you're all very busy. You don't need to come over every two weeks. I'm fine. With someone like you taking care of me, how could I possibly be unhappy?"

"Grandma, don't worry. The village provides monthly health checkups for the elderly, and the village pays for it. It's a benefit for us. Coming here is just a side benefit."

Rin Nohara's voice faded into the distance, eventually disappearing as the room door closed.

Black Zetsu chuckled and led Obito underground.

"Regret it?"

"A little bit."

Obito's tone was low and somber.

Grandma, Lin.

The two people he cherished most over the past decade are now saddened by his passing, and their lifestyles have even changed.

If only I had known this would happen...

"This is the price of pursuing peace!"

"Every generation has paid a heavy price for peace. Hashirama Senju and I did so back then, and so have you and Kyohiko Yoshimine in your generation."

Black Zetsu replied calmly.

Obito was taken aback at first, then exclaimed in surprise, "Kyohiko?"

"Yes! Although my pursuits are different from his, he is indeed a person with lofty ambitions, unlike the rest of Konoha."

Black Zetsu commented.

Obito was surprised that Black Zetsuki had such a high opinion of Kyohiko, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

but.

Soon, he heard a series of noisy sounds.

What happened?

Obito, filled with doubt, quietly crept up, his head blending into the surrounding bushes.

soon.

He saw four or five figures gathered outside his house not far away.

Immediately afterwards, he vaguely heard some sounds.

"Let's capture her and kill her!"

What?

Obito was stunned.

Kill Lin?

Why is that?!

"That's right, the people inside are Tsunade's disciples. Anyway, we'll make our move tonight..."

A murmur rippled through the room.

After that, Obito could no longer hear anything.

but……

Soon, the old lady came out of the house.

"What are you trying to do?!"

"Grandma, there's a dangerous person inside. Please come out quickly; we don't want to hurt you."

As Uchiha Tetsuka spoke, he gave his companions a few meaningful glances.

Everyone understood immediately and moved around to surround the area, preventing Nohara Rin from escaping. At this moment, Nohara Rin was indeed unable to escape.

Her medical ninjutsu is now extremely advanced, but apart from medical ninjutsu, the only things worth mentioning are her chakra scalpel and the taijutsu she has been training intensively for the past year or two.

but.

The other party is from the Uchiha clan...

Lin's mind raced as she considered a solution.

She never expected that when she came to visit as usual after get off work, she would encounter such a thing!

but.

At this moment, she was mostly worried and afraid.

Although he wasn't Tsunade's disciple as they claimed, he was still an important medical ninja in Konoha.

The Uchiha clan has gone mad!

We must notify Konoha!

Thinking of this, Nohara Rin went upstairs.

She wanted to use a signal flare to alert the village—

Even if she dies, at least the Uchiha's actions can be exposed and stopped immediately.

however.

Just as she reached the second floor.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" at the window.

A figure darted in.

The Uchiha clan!

Nohara Rin quickly formed hand seals, and in an instant, dense chakra appeared in her hands.

Chakra Scalpel!

however.

At this moment, a pair of two-tomoe jade appeared in the opponent's eyes.

Sharingan!

"Chakra scalpel?"

A hint of wariness flashed in the other person's eyes.

He had never heard of this ninjutsu before, as it was used in combat.

The Uchiha clan doesn't know much about medical ninjutsu, which is a strength of Tsunade and the Senju clan. Given their abilities, it's not surprising that they've mastered the combat techniques of chakra scalpels.

but.

As long as you're careful, there shouldn't be any major problems!

He looked around and instantly threw out a senbon (a type of Japanese paper).

Nohara Rin lunged forward in a flash, appearing before him in an instant, her hand sweeping out like the wind, but...

The next second, the sound of thousands of books colliding rang out, and then the lights suddenly turned on.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Genjutsu: Sharingan!

Rin Nohara was startled and immediately looked away, but when she sensed that her chakra was stagnant and disordered, she knew immediately that she had been under a genjutsu.

The Sharingan truly lives up to its name!

Fortunately, her chakra control was strong enough that she instantly stabilized her chakra and forcibly broke free from the genjutsu.

The other party had no idea she possessed such abilities. They had originally intended to use the wire to completely control Nohara Rin, but...

In an instant, Rin crouched down, avoiding the steel wire carried by the kunai.

Then, he swept his palm horizontally.

In the blink of an eye.

"ah!!"

The opponent's leg muscles were severed by the chakra scalpel, causing him to let out a terrifying scream.

The next second, Lin jumped out of the window, pulled out a signal flare, and was about to fire it...

call out!

One after another, kunai flew in from behind.

The signal flare in Lin's hand was immediately shot away and failed to detonate and take off.

Is anyone else there?

She was extremely anxious.

Even more anxious than her were Obito and his grandmother...

"What are you doing! Uchiha Tetsuka, you've got some nerve!"

The old woman grabbed Uchiha Tetsuka, preventing him from going up to fight Nohara Rin. Tetsuka, afraid of hurting the old woman, didn't dare to use his strength, but at this moment...

A dark shadow silently crept onto Tie Huo.

Black Zetsu separated a small portion.

The talisman on Tiehuo's body was not planted in the heart area, so its effect was not that strong; it could only affect some of his emotions.

but.

That's enough!

"I want to go out..."

"Are you going out to help or cause trouble?"

Black Zetsu quickly stopped him and restrained Obito, preventing him from making any rash moves. "Let's wait and see! Once Rin leaves, they'll go after her directly and won't make things difficult for your grandmother."

"But--"

Obito was speaking.

Over there, Nohara Rin threw out an explosive tag and then quickly escaped from her original position.

but.

Her speed was simply no match for the Sharingan.

Ironfire saw Lin's trajectory!

Kill her!

His thoughts burned fiercely, and he quickly broke free from the old woman's hand—it was just that one struggle—

The old lady was thrown to the ground.

however.

The old woman clung tightly to Tie Huo's feet.

Obito couldn't hold back any longer.

"I want to get out!"

His powerful will made it impossible for Black Zetsu to control him.

Hei Juexin made a move...

"All right!"

The next second, it released its control.

But at the same time.

Suddenly, a surge of rage rose in Tie Huo's eyes. He kicked the old woman away and then ran straight towards Lin.

Witnessing this scene...

Obito's mind went completely blank.

Then, he darted forward and quickly caught his grandmother, who had fallen to the ground, in his arms.

A warm liquid flowed from the old woman's head, soaked into his sleeve, and clung to his skin.

Obito's eyes were filled with terror and despair.

"Grandma! Grandma!!!"

"Obito?"

The old woman's scattered gaze gradually focused upon hearing the voice. With difficulty, she raised her hand and reached out to grab the masked boy in front of her.

The voice is Obito's...

But the mask.

mask!

She reached out with difficulty, and Obito ripped off her mask.

"Grandma, it's me! It's me! Obito, I've come back to see you. You can't be hurt!"

Tears streamed down his face.

Then, Obito immediately remembered—

Lin!

Oh, right, Lin!

Nohara Rin's medical ninjutsu is very strong; she can definitely save Grandma!

He quickly looked in that direction, and then he saw...

Lin had already been caught up by Tie Huo, with one foot on the ground and her hands struggling desperately.

She was in so much pain!

Obito's eyes were filled with boundless rage.

Family members...

Why hurt Lin and Grandma!

He hates!

Boundless hatred burned and spread.

"You, you're Uchiha Obito?"

Someone above cried out in surprise.

"What?"

Tiehuo turned around and saw Uchiha Obito holding the old lady, a look of surprise in his eyes.

"You disgrace to the family, you good-for-nothing, how could you...?"

In an instant, Obito lost his mind and became even faster than before.

call out!

In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Tie Huo.

"you……"

Tetsuka wanted to retaliate, but although his eyes saw the afterimage of Obito's movements, they couldn't help his body react in time. He could only watch helplessly as Obito charged towards him.

Bang!

Obito's hand gripped his throat.

Immediately.

Bang!

One by one, wooden thorns grew from Obito's hands, like thorns piercing Tetsuka's throat.

Obito's eyes were bloodshot, like a wolf ready to devour its prey.

"You all must die!"
