I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 399 Quickly, go and invite Ancestor Xiao Guang!

Unlike Obito's right eye, which can both "intangle" and pull people into the Kamui dimension, Kakashi's left eye has a simpler dojutsu: "Kamui." However, both eyes connect to the same space, so theoretically, he could send several people directly into the Kamui dimension to ambush Obito.

Therefore, Uchiha Hikaru always had an immature idea—

Imagine Kakashi using his left eye to unleash Kamui on a latrine, instantly filling the Kamui dimension with tens of thousands of tons of snow, and then forcing Obito to use Hollowfication...

Then Obito would probably feel a deeper pain than when he witnessed Rin's death.

That's what I think.

But if you actually did that, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own. After all, anyone who uses this tactic has to experience that disgusting feeling first.

"...Forget it, let's play something normal instead."

Uchiha Hikaru shook his head, banishing the images from his mind, and then looked back at the Sharingan he was holding between his fingers.

There are many ways to kill Obito; there's no need to resort to any tricks.

Now that we've got this eye...

Why not try to analyze the principles of "Divine Might" and see if we can replicate this eye technique and make it our own?

With this in mind, Uchiha Hikaru began to experiment.

……

The afternoon after Uchiha Hikaru obtained "Kamui".

Kakashi and Itachi also rushed back to Konoha Village, and immediately went to see Hiruzen Sarutobi, recounting their encounter with "Madara Uchiha" and how his eyes were gouged out.

Kakashi ultimately didn't reveal his speculation about Obito.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to their story while smoking, his expression remained quite calm: "I understand... It seems that the person you encountered is the same one who caused the Nine-Tails' attack and who deliberately targeted the Uchiha clan a couple of years ago."

"Based on my analysis, the analysis of the two advisors, and Shikaku, this person is probably not the real Uchiha Madara, but is definitely related to Madara. Perhaps he is an Uchiha who disappeared during the previous Shinobi World Wars, or a descendant born after Madara defected from Konoha, trying to avenge him."

—This is the result of multiple discussions by the advisory group. Given Madara's age when he left Konoha, and the time difference between his departure and his return with the Nine-Tails to challenge Hashirama, it was entirely possible for him to find a woman, marry, and have children.

but……

If the goal was to take revenge on Konoha, why didn't he kill Kakashi and Itachi after defeating them, and even healed Kakashi's eyes?

As a seasoned ninja who had fought many battles, Hiruzen Sarutobi keenly sensed the suspicious points in this matter.

Just as he was about to ask a few more questions to confirm the situation, a series of urgent knocks suddenly came from the doorway.

Then, a member of the Anbu strode in, speaking rapidly: "Third Hokage, something's happened!"

"...What's wrong?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his cigarette, tapped his pipe on the table, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"It's from the Sand Village."

The newly arrived ANBU member continued, "Our spies from the Land of Wind just sent a message by carrier pigeon. Around noon yesterday, Sunagakure was attacked by outsiders. The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was seriously injured, and the One-Tailed Jinchuriki was also kidnapped... The attacker was a lone individual who claimed to be Uchiha Madara!"

"What?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stopped, his eyes widening in surprise before he looked at Kakashi and the other man beside him: Wait... another Madara?

Who is this? Did Ban give birth to twins back then?

Or……

"This one could be the real Uchiha Madara."

The operative took a deep breath: "According to intelligence, he defeated Rasa with just one sword strike. These are photos taken at the scene."

As he spoke, the secret service placed an opened letter on the table.

The letter contained intelligence information.

Beside it was a stack of brand-new photos. The first one showed a deep blue, fully-formed Susanoo standing tall in the sky, facing off against Rasa, who was supported by a giant beast formed from a large amount of golden sand, above Sunagakure.

The second image shows a massive rift dividing Sunagakure in two, with huge amounts of golden sand scattered across the ground, and Rasa lying in a pool of blood, his fate unknown.

The following images show Susanoo spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, with the faint silhouette of a red-haired child in its palm, seemingly fast asleep.

"...Such powerful swordsmanship."

Kakashi and Itachi hadn't left yet; their eyes caught sight of the photo, and their expressions immediately hardened.

Kakashi vaguely recalled a scene he had witnessed in the Land of Demons a year ago—the scene of a certain Uchiha ancestor shattering Himiko with a single sword strike, which seemed somewhat similar.

the other side.

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe, staring intently at the image in the photograph, his fingers trembling slightly. "Deep blue... if I remember correctly, that's the color of Madara's Susanoo. This level of eye technique can't be imitated by genjutsu. Could it really be him?!"

But how did he survive all these years?

Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of another Uchiha ancestor:

"Quickly, go and invite Miss Hikari over..."

"this……"

The ANBU member hesitated for a moment: "Miss Hikari did indeed return once in the last couple of days. According to Yugao, she met Naruto by the stream outside the village, and Uchiha Sasuke and that blue-haired woman who appears to be a descendant of the Ice Release clan were also present. However, they left early this morning and are not in the village now, and their whereabouts are unknown..."

"Why now of all times..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened slightly, and after a few seconds, he finally sighed, "Very well. Since Naruto is with Hikari-san, his safety shouldn't be a concern. We'll deal with Madara's appearance... Is there any other information worth noting?"

"There is one."

An ANBU member replied, "The Uchiha Madara who appeared in Sunagakure this time was wearing a black robe with red clouds. That's the uniform of an organization called Akatsuki that Jiraiya-sama investigated before. Perhaps Madara's reappearance is closely related to Akatsuki!"

……

Unlike the closed-off and isolated Kirigakure village, which was isolated from news.

Although Sunagakure is resource-poor, it is indeed one of the current Five Great Ninja Villages and maintains close ties with several other countries. Similar incidents to those in Hiruzen Sarutobi's office also occurred in Iwagakure and Kumogakure, as well as other neighboring small ninja villages.

The only difference is the time.

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha, who was in Amegakure at that moment, also heard the news from Black Zetsu that "Madara Uchiha attacked Sunagakure".

"...Huh? Me?"
