Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 164 The Black Hand Named Uehara Naraku! (Please Subscribe!)

The plan went more smoothly than expected.

Since Obito Uchiha was going to take the initiative to appear, Naraku Uehara naturally wouldn't stop him; in fact, he seemed quite grateful.

Before leaving the underground base, Uehara Naraku's face showed a timely hint of worry: "Are you sure there's nothing wrong, senpai? I personally witnessed Orochimaru's resurrected First and Second Hokage suppress the Third Hokage!"

"This is normal."

Obito Uchiha slowly opened the stone door and explained softly, "The First Hokage and the Second Hokage were probably the two strongest Hokage in history. The Third Hokage was old and frail, and even you were able to ambush and kill him. It's normal for him to be suppressed by the two Hokage."

Uehara Naraku's eyelids twitched, and he felt the slight shame he had felt towards Uchiha Obito immediately dissipate. This guy really doesn't know how to talk!

Uehara Naraku clenched his fingers and whispered, "No wonder I thought killing the Third Hokage would be easy. His power has indeed weakened a lot. It even felt less troublesome than fighting Kakashi-san. His Sharingan could even hide my ninjutsu..."

"..."

Obito Uchiha froze for a second, then took a step forward and coldly interrupted Naraku Uehara, "Alright, I'll go out first. You wait here for me, so you don't hold me back!"

Obito Uchiha felt that Naraku Uehara really didn't know how to talk. Did he not know that Kakashi Hatake's eye was a gift from him?

Ever since Kakashi learned to use the Mangekyou Sharingan, that eye has caused him a lot of trouble, with strange things always appearing in the Kamui dimension.

When Obito Uchiha entered the Kamui dimension last time, he actually managed to send out several cards, and some of them even exploded!

Damn it, they're putting all sorts of random stuff in there!

Uehara Naraku seemed unconcerned about Uchiha Obito's volatile temper. A slight smile appeared on his face as he calmly watched Obito step out of the stone gate, and he said softly, "Then I'll leave it to you, senpai..."

Above ground.

Orochimaru and Kabuto watched as the stone door in the cave opened, and a figure walked out of it. This scene made Orochimaru very happy.

Because the person who came out was none other than Uchiha Obito.

Orochimaru saw the fan in Obito's hand and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Kabuto, go talk to him! Although I don't care, Obito's space-time ninjutsu is still troublesome!"

"Yes."

Kabuto froze for a second.

Orochimaru's attitude was clearly that he wanted him to go and die.

This is Orochimaru's nature; when danger arises, he will stand in the safest position and push those who are willing to give their lives for him into peril.

Until there was no one left willing to give their life for him.

Suddenly, Kabuto Yakushi had an explosive tag in his hand. He slowly turned his head to look at Orochimaru, who had handed him the tag. Orochimaru smiled mysteriously at him.

Clearly, Orochimaru had also thought of using the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags technique to counter the Kamui dimension. As long as one can summon spirits infinitely, the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags technique is still very useful.

A few hundred summoned explosive tags would be enough to leave Obito Uchiha with nowhere to escape.

Kabuto sighed inwardly, stepped forward to meet Obito Uchiha, and said softly, "Mr. Obito Uchiha, we are here to seek cooperation, not war. I believe cooperation will always be more beneficial than war..."

"Just you guys?"

Obito Uchiha grabbed Kabuto Yakushi's neck. Ever since he obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, Obito Uchiha had never really respected anyone else in the ninja world except for fellow Mangekyou Sharingan users.

However, Kabuto Yakushi neither dodged nor evaded, but instead uttered a sentence in a low voice that made Obito Uchiha freeze in place: "Mr. Obito Uchiha, aren't you curious about who leaked your identity and information since four years ago?"

After saying that, Kabuto Yakushi added quietly, "And this time we found out where you're hiding. Aren't you curious about who gave us the information?"

"..."

Obito Uchiha's eyes gradually turned fierce, and he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Isn't it you guys?"

"Where can we get information from?"

Kabuto's words silenced Obito Uchiha. He continued, "I wonder if Mr. Obito has ever heard of someone who claims to be Madara's will, someone who has been guiding our actions. This time, it's here to guide us to cooperate with you..."

"..."

Obito Uchiha's first thought was that Kabuto Yakushi was lying. How could Black Zetsu possibly betray him?

Wait, how could Black Zetsu possibly betray him?

Since four years ago, no, even earlier, Black Zetsu has been complaining that he acted too rashly, such as directly identifying himself as Uchiha Madara to Konan and Nagato, instead of concealing his identity and secretly guiding them into Akatsuki.

But what was Black Zetsu's reason for betraying him?

"Fine, let's capture you first, then we'll go find Black Zetsu to question you!"

Just as Obito was about to put Kabuto into the Kamui dimension, he saw Kabuto, without dodging or avoiding, suddenly take out an explosive tag and stick it on his body.

This scene made Obito Uchiha's eyes twitch involuntarily!

The next moment, Obito Uchiha abruptly stopped absorbing Kamui's power. He seemed to be thinking of something unpleasant, such as a firework display four years ago...

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Kabuto leaped backward, shouting, "Mission accomplished!"

This plan was somewhat in line with Kabuto's wishes, but he felt a little uneasy. After all, the greatest pleasure of a spy is to deceive people first and then reveal the truth, watching the enemy feel the despair of betrayal. Only in this way can one get double the pleasure.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru wanted to take direct action.

Orochimaru, outside the cave, didn't hesitate either, quickly closing his palms to form a hand seal: "Ninja Art: Mutual Explosion Tags Technique!"

The bombardment of the detonating tags rang out again!

This time, however, the outcome is different from the past.

Having learned his lesson once and suffered enough from being used as a firework, Obito Uchiha was mentally prepared. His ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan immediately glowed and he decisively activated Izanagi.

Taking advantage of the time of invulnerability provided by Izanagi, Obito rushed towards Orochimaru's direction. After all, this was a secret base where he could switch Sharingan at any time.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Obito Uchiha glanced at Orochimaru, who was clasping his hands in hand seals, then transformed into a space-time vortex and appeared beside Orochimaru, intending to eliminate this threat first!

However, Orochimaru's arm was like a mollusk, and it limply fell to the ground, dodging the attack, leaving Obito Uchiha with a somewhat indescribable expression.

Damn it, how can there be a creature like Orochimaru in the ninja world?

Although Obito Uchiha's sneak attack missed, he was not flustered, after all, Izanagi could provide him with a full five minutes of invincibility!

This is enough time to kill anyone!

However, the next moment, a coffin appeared beside Orochimaru, and a trembling person walked out of the coffin!

It was none other than the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

This was also Orochimaru's trump card that allowed him to confront Obito Uchiha.

Tobirama Senju slowly raised his head and looked at Obito Uchiha, his gaze somewhat dazed. He unconsciously murmured, "Hmm, is this... those evil Uchiha guys?"

"yes."

Orochimaru's smile was smug: "This is a rogue ninja from Konoha. It's said he was the culprit who killed the Fourth Hokage, causing Konoha's decline!"

"Hmph, Tobirama Senju!"

Obito Uchiha glanced at Tobirama Senju with disdain. Just as Tobirama Senju disliked the Uchiha, not many people in the Uchiha clan could stand Tobirama Senju!

Even though Obito Uchiha had already betrayed the Uchiha clan, he had been influenced by the clan for so many years and was taught by Madara Uchiha, so naturally he didn't have any good feelings towards Tobirama Senju!

The next moment, Obito was about to reach out and grab Tobirama Senju into his Kamui dimension!

However, Tobirama Senju's figure vanished in a flash, having used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, leaving Obito Uchiha's hand landing in empty air.

A war between the Uchiha and Senju clans is about to be reenacted here!

On one side, Obito Uchiha possessed the Kamui eye technique and five minutes of invincibility with Izanagi; on the other side, Tobirama Senju possessed the Flying Thunder God technique, the Impure World Reincarnation, an immortal body, and unlimited chakra.

If this battle continues, who knows when it will end? However, Orochimaru added from the side, "Second Hokage, I have a lot of information about Obito Uchiha!"

"…Give me!"

Tobirama Senju paused for a moment, then immediately accepted everything.

Of course, after receiving Obito Uchiha's information, Tobirama Senju still cursed Orochimaru, saying, "You evil brat, you're no better than anyone else!"

"Hehehehehe..."

Orochimaru remained remarkably composed. He ignored Tobirama Senju's insults and instead looked at Obito Uchiha, saying, "Obito, let me remind you, even if the caster is killed, the Impure World Reincarnation will continue to operate!"

"Don't worry, I'll deal with that old bastard Tobirama Senju first!"

Obito Uchiha gave Orochimaru a cold look. He understood Orochimaru's meaning, but said in a cold voice, "I'll come find you after I've dealt with him!"

Five minutes later.

When Izanagi's invincibility ended, Obito Uchiha still hadn't been able to touch Tobirama Senju's body, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Obito Uchiha finally realized a problem: there was a reason why Madara Uchiha and the Uchiha clan always criticized Tobirama Senju. That guy was really disgusting!

Especially Tobirama Senju after his resurrection with Edo Tensei, he's probably a hundred times more troublesome than when he was alive!

Ten seconds later.

Obito Uchiha finally found an opportunity, grabbing Tobirama Senju's shoulder at a landing point of the Flying Thunder God Technique. He then activated the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, attempting to pull Tobirama into his dimension!

"Kid, do you know why I developed the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Tobirama Senju remained fearless, an explosive tag falling from his body: "Because only the immortal body resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique can be used in conjunction with the Mutual Explosive Tags technique!"

Boom!

A deafening explosion resounded in everyone's ears!

Even Orochimaru was caught off guard and was injured by the aftershocks of the exploding tags, despite his precautions.

As Kabuto Yakushi watched in horror as the shockwave from the explosion approached, a golden aura appeared around his body, which reassured him somewhat. It seemed that his true superior did not intend to abandon him.

How could Uehara Naraku possibly abandon such a useful pawn as Yakushi Kabuto?

As for Obito Uchiha, who was facing him head-on, even though he interrupted the Kamui dimension in time and put himself in a holographic state, he was still half destroyed by the first wave of explosive tags.

The most troublesome thing is that he doesn't have Izanagi this time!

After a long while.

The entire earth was blasted into a huge crater by Tobirama Senju's Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, revealing countless sleeping White Zetsu underground, and even some White Zetsu corpses.

After all, with such a powerful explosion, even Uehara Naraku had to use a life-saving skill, so how could some White Zetsu who were just watching the show possibly escape unscathed?

Tobirama Senju's body was slowly recovering, while Obito Uchiha lay on the ground covered in wounds, seemingly defeated. Even though he could still barely use Kamui, he was unable to launch any attacks and could only wait to die.

The heavily injured Orochimaru also spat out another version of himself, using the Orochimaru Substitution Technique to heal all his injuries.

Having secured the victory, Orochimaru couldn't help but chuckle smugly, "It seems everything is under my control..."

"This was a battle that exceeded my expectations!"

A familiar voice made Orochimaru's eyes narrow!

Orochimaru's gaze suddenly fell upon a pile of ruins. His earlier smugness vanished instantly, and his expression gradually turned serious: "Uehara Naraku, what are you doing here?!"

"If it weren't for me, how would you be here?"

Uehara Naraku pushed aside the rubble from the collapsed cave, slowly got up, surveyed the desolate battlefield, and his gaze slowly settled on Uchiha Obito: "By order of Senior Zetsu, I have killed Konoha spy Uchiha Obito..."

These words carried a chilling intent, causing everyone present to shudder!

"What Konoha spy?!"

Lying on the ground, Obito Uchiha's expression changed. He stared at Naraku Uehara and asked in a deep voice, "Naraku Uehara, is this really Black Zetsu's conspiracy? Why did Black Zetsu betray me?!"

Finished!

Obito Uchiha's heart sank!

The reason he didn't choose to activate Izanagi with his Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan was because he knew that Uehara Naraku was nearby, and perhaps Uehara Naraku would come to his rescue!

I never expected that Uehara Naraku came to kill him!

"Perhaps it's because you're always more trouble than you're worth?"

Uehara Naraku tilted his head, grinned, and chuckled, "Obito-senpai, times have changed. You're no longer of any use to me."

Uehara's main quest progress has stopped advancing due to his actions against Uchiha Obito, which means that Uchiha Obito is no longer of any use.

Obito Uchiha's people can die.

However, Obito Uchiha's identity can be retained and used.

Suddenly, a kunai shot towards Uehara Naraku!

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

Senju Tobirama's figure appeared next to Uehara Naraku, following closely behind the kunai, and grabbed the kunai, about to stab it into Uehara Naraku's body!

Although the Second Hokage did not know Uehara Naraku's exact identity, he had personally witnessed Uehara Naraku assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen, so he must be an enemy of Konoha!

Click!

Tobirama Senju's head was smashed into countless dust and fragments by Uehara's punch!

"Don't try that trick on me, okay?"

Uehara Naraku dusted off the ashes on his hands, chuckled, and looked at Orochimaru, saying, "Mr. Orochimaru, keep your things to yourself. After all, we still owe each other a debt. Don't add too much interest to your life!"
