Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 298 The Attack of the Hidden Clouds!

Aoba picked up the mirror on the table and carefully examined her right eye.

His pupils, which were originally black and white, had now turned crimson.

Three black magatama spun rapidly within it, eventually connecting end to end and freezing into a pattern of four sickles!

I don't know if it's because of Obito, but the new Mangekyou Sharingan pattern is very similar to Obito's.

Sensing the power contained within the eyes, Qingye showed no joy whatsoever; instead, her brows furrowed slightly.

"What exactly is that ball of light?"

Aoba stroked his chin and began frantically searching his mind for clues from the original Naruto storyline he had read in his previous life, trying to find a connection to the giant ball of light.

But after thinking for a long time, I still had no clue.

This thing doesn't seem to be in the original storyline.

The image was too blurry; apart from a glowing outline, I couldn't see any details.

"It seems that my appearance has completely changed the original plot due to the butterfly effect."

It's obvious without even thinking that this was definitely the work of that cunning old fox, Black Zetsu.

After all, he's an old monster who's been hiding for over a thousand years, so it's normal for him to have some backup plans.

However, this was also within Aoba's expectations.

When Aoba replaced Kakashi's eye, he had considered that Obito would use other methods to replace the other eye.

I never expected that they would actually do it, and that they would actually succeed.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan.

One person tops up, two people receive the funds!

He successfully got a freebie.

Aoba herself felt a little embarrassed.

Konoha Village, the home of three generations.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat cross-legged on the cushion, puffing on his pipe.

Before him knelt a member of the Anbu (Anbu ninja) wearing an animal mask.

"The three generations of lords have completed their examinations."

The ANBU ninja respectfully reported, "The cursed seals on Mitarashi Anko and several others who were associated with Orochimaru have indeed been removed!"

"After examination, no residual chakra or hidden dangers were found in their bodies."

Upon hearing this report, Hiruzen Sarutobi paused slightly, his hand holding the pipe paused for a moment.

He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and his tense expression finally relaxed a bit.

"Was it completely cleared out? — Well done, you can go now."

"yes!"

The ANBU ninja vanished from the room in a flash.

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ever since Aoba returned, the Third Hokage has had a heavy weight on his mind.

Aoba's strength is too great, so great that it has exceeded the control of Konoha's higher-ups.

What worries the Third Hokage even more is that there seems to be some kind of inexplicable connection between Aoba and Orochimaru.

As for the intelligence, it was left to him by his former best friend Danzo.

He didn't know if Danzo had fabricated the story about the Third Hokage, but he dared not gamble on it.

Although Orochimaru defected, the mess he left behind in Konoha and his influence still exist.

Aoba, on the other hand, is now a high-ranking advisor to Konoha. He is not only powerful but also controls Konoha Hospital, a core institution.

If these two really get involved, it will be an absolute disaster for Konoha!

Orochimaru has gone down the wrong path, and the Third Hokage's biggest fear now is that Aoba will also run into trouble.

It now seems that although Aoba's actions were unpredictable, he still had Konoha's side when it came to matters of principle.

By actively removing the cursed seal left by Orochimaru, Yamashiro Aoba was essentially making a statement to the Konoha leadership that he, Yamashiro Aoba, was not on the same side as Orochimaru!

"It seems I was overthinking it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked out the window at the bustling streets of Konoha, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Kumogakure, Raikage's office.

boom!

-

With a loud crash, the desk was smashed into two pieces again!

A violent burst of lightning chakra flickered around the Raikage, crackling and emitting a piercing sound.

"This is utterly absurd! It's the height of ridiculousness!"

Raikage's furious roar echoed through the office.

"The Hidden Mist Village, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, actually went so far as to wag its tail and beg for mercy from Konoha! They even resorted to such a despicable tactic as a marriage alliance!"

The earthen platform standing to the side had an equally gloomy expression.

In his hand was a piece of intelligence that had just been sent back.

Mei Terumi, the representative of the Kirigakure delegation, has been frequently in contact with Aoba Yamashiro lately, and the two have been behaving very intimately, suggesting that they have already established a romantic relationship.

Moreover, it seems that Kirigakure intends to use a marriage alliance to solidify its alliance with Konoha.

"Lord Raikage, calm down."

Tsuchida sighed helplessly, "According to the intelligence that our spies in the Land of Water risked their lives to send back, Kirigakure has just experienced an extremely tragic internal strife."

"Although the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, is not dead, he has been completely stripped of his power and secretly imprisoned. The actual person in charge of Kirigakure now is Genji."

"Hmph! That piece of trash, Yagura Karatachi!"

Lei Ying snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

"The Kage of this village has been controlled by illusions for so many years! They've utterly disgraced the Five Kage!"

As fellow Fourth Kage, Raikage A showed no sympathy for Yagura's plight, but instead felt ashamed of it.

In his view, the "Shadow" should be like him, standing in front of the village, instead of hiding behind the scenes playing some kind of conspiracy, and in the end, getting himself into trouble without even knowing he was being controlled.

Garbage!

he—tui~

Tu Tai sighed, his expression growing increasingly serious.

"Lord Raikage, Yagura Karatachi is, after all, a perfect Jinchūriki. Anyone who can control him with genjutsu is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Intelligence indicates that the person controlling the Fourth Mizukage is that masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara! And according to information leaked from Konoha, the masked man's true identity is very likely Uchiha Obito, a former member of Konoha!"

Tu Tai's words instantly darkened Raikage Ai's expression.

"That guy not only controlled the Fourth Mizukage with his Sharingan, but even the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze, died because of his schemes!"

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's name, the Raikage's eyes narrowed slightly, and his violent aura subsided somewhat.

He had fought Minato Namikaze on the battlefield many times, and the Yellow Flash, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, was one of the few strong individuals he admired.

Unexpectedly, such a person died at the hands of a rogue ninja from his own village.

"Uchiha Obito — Yamashiro Aoba —"

Raikage clenched his fist, and his knuckles cracked.

How come those bastards from Konoha are so lucky!

"Konoha's geniuses are just endless!"

Raikage's tone was filled with anger, jealousy, and a hint of barely concealed apprehension.

If it weren't for Obito Uchiha's betrayal and the killing of the Fourth Hokage, the ninja world would probably have been renamed Konoha by now!

Tsuchikage didn't respond, because he knew that the Raikage's words were not without reason.

There are indeed too many geniuses in Konoha.

Fortunately, there are quite a few rogue ninjas. Now even Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, has defected, which is really good news for Kumogakure.

Raikage took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his agitation, and sat back down in his chair.

"Tutai, the current situation is very unfavorable for us."

"That opportunist from Sunagakure has already completely sided with Konoha because of the Third Shinobi World War. If the alliance agreement between Kirigakure and Konoha is really signed this time, the entire landscape of the ninja world will be completely changed!"

Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure, the three great ninja villages, have formed an alliance!

In addition, there's the powerful Yamashiro Aoba.

At that time, what will the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village use to resist them?

Are we just going to stand by and watch Konoha become the sole dominant force and completely rule the ninja world?!

As a village that originated from martial arts, the Hidden Cloud Village could not tolerate such a thing happening!

He looked down on the underhanded tactics of Kirigakure, which relied on marriage with women, but unfortunately, this method really worked!

If Yamashiro Aoba successfully marries Kirigakure, the landscape of the ninja world will change.

"We must not allow their alliance to proceed smoothly!"

Lei Ying suddenly stood up, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Tutai, tell me, how many people can the village still mobilize?!"

Upon hearing the Raikage's question, Tsuchikage abruptly raised his head.

He knows the Raikage's personality too well.

He intends to use the methods that Kumogakure excels at—war—to forcibly disrupt Konoha's alliance plan!

"Lord Raikage, do you perhaps intend to—"

Inside the moon, a terrifying chakra is raging wildly.

Blue chakra flames rose up as if they were solid, rapidly condensing around Obito's body.

First came the enormous skeleton, followed by a complex network of veins and bright red flesh, and finally, a thick layer of armor completely enveloped this behemoth.

The fourth stage: Susanoo!

A blue giant, several meters tall, stood in the center of the temple, radiating a devastating sense of oppression.

Obito stood at the head of Susanoo, feeling the power emanating from its eyes.

"Is this... the power of the Third God?"

Obito clenched his fist slightly, and the blue giant on the outside made the same movement, the huge fist wind instantly blowing away the surrounding rocks.

"Is this the power that Madara once wielded? It seems—it's nothing special."

Obito frowned, looking somewhat disappointed.

Susanoo is indeed very destructive, but it is probably far from enough to deal with Yamashiro Aoba.

Let alone Yamashiro Aoba, even against those tailed beasts, this Susanoo, which is over ten meters tall, might not be able to gain an absolute advantage without using genjutsu eye power.

"Hehehe————"

Just then, a hoarse and piercing laugh came from the ground, and Jue emerged from the ground.

"Obito, aren't you overestimating yourself?"

Black Zetsu looked at Obito with a hint of sarcasm, "You think this is the full power of Susanoo? No! It's far from it!"

"What do you mean?"

Obito's eyes turned cold.

"Lord Madara's Susanoo in its complete form is over two hundred meters tall, capable of cleaving mountains and cutting off rivers with a single sword strike—that is true divine power!"

Black Zetsu sneered, his tone filled with admiration for Uchiha Madara.

"Your half-baked Susanoo, which's only a few meters tall, is practically like a toddler learning to walk compared to Lord Madara!"

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito's pupils constricted sharply, utterly shocked.

Over two hundred meters high?! A single sword strike that could cleave a mountain?!

How is that possible!

Obito's first reaction was that Black Zetsu was trying to fool him.

Although he could feel that his eye power was still growing and not fully stable because he had just activated the double Mangekyou Sharingan, and he hadn't been able to unleash the full power of Susanoo, it shouldn't be this ridiculously bad!

He quickly calmed down and promptly dismissed the idea.

Black Zetsu had no reason to lie to him about something like this.

As the embodiment of Madara's will, Black Zetsu knows Madara's true nature better than anyone else.

If Madara truly possessed that kind of world-destroying power, then his current achievements are indeed insignificant.

Seeing Obito fall silent, a strange smile appeared on Black Zetsu's half-black face.

"Don't rush, Obito."

Black Zetsu's voice softened a bit.

"You've just had your other eye repaired, and your pupil power still needs time to mature. During this period, your pupil power will experience an explosive growth."

"Furthermore, with the new eye technique that has awakened in your left eye, I believe you will soon be able to unleash the full power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and even—reach the level that Madara-sama has reached."

Upon hearing this, Obito glanced at Black Zetsu without showing any emotion and said coldly, "You know the eye technique of my new eyes?"

"Hehe, is that hard to guess?"

Black Zetsu chuckled twice. "Susanoo is the third power residing in the eyes. Generally speaking, it can only be activated by developing the power of the eyes to the extreme and undergoing a long period of practice."

"You've only just had a foreign eye transplanted, yet you've managed to skip the initial stage and unlock the fourth stage of Susanoo in such a short time. If your new eye technique wasn't of the same type as Madara's, or if it didn't possess some kind of special auxiliary ability, it would be impossible for you to do this."

Obito remained silent for a moment, then let out a cold snort.

"You guessed right!"

"The new eye's pupil technique has an amplifying effect, which is why I was able to master Susanoo so quickly."

However, there's one thing Obito didn't mention: this amplification doesn't just apply to Susanoo; it can also amplify Kamui!

Kamui's absorption speed, spatial range, and even the upper limit of the mass transferred have all been enhanced under the effect of the new eye technique.

"Adaptation takes time, but until then—"

Obito stood before the reincarnated being, thinking, "Let's use the power of this eye to give that bastard something to do!"

Konoha Village, night.

The bustling commercial street was brightly lit, with a constant stream of pedestrians moving about.

The arrival of delegations from various countries made the already bustling Konoha even more lively. Restaurants and dessert shops on both sides of the street were doing brisk business, and the air was filled with the aroma of various foods.

-

On this bustling street, a figure was moving slowly forward in an extremely awkward posture.

Yamashiro Aoba stared blankly ahead, her lips twitching slightly.

Because on each of his left and right sides, a woman was holding his arm tightly.

On the left is Mei Terumi.

On the right is Kurenai Yuhi.

Aoba looked at the two of them speechlessly, feeling utterly exasperated.

Mei Terumi is one thing, at least she's an adult.

Ke Hong — still a young girl.

Aoba's lips twitched slightly.

That's illegal!
