Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 185 Leaving Covered in Black Pots (Third update! Thanks to Cao Cao Cao, the great author! More tonight!)

Daimyofu, the Land of Grass.

Although the alliance talks between the high-ranking officials of the ninja villages have ended and Mei Terumi, Chiyo, and others have returned to their villages, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, has stayed behind for the time being.

There are still many things in the Land of Grass that require her attention.

For example, Tsunade needs to decide Konoha's future strategy in the Land of Grass, the struggle between Konoha ninja and Iwa ninja, and reduce the possibility of a major ninja war.

These are all troublesome issues.

Furthermore, Tsunade was also responsible for calming down her subordinates.

"Kakashi."

Tsunade sat in the position of the Daimyo of the Land of Grass, glanced at Kakashi Hatake kneeling on one knee, and said softly, "Among the Jonin in the village, you are the only one without subordinates for the time being, and you are also the only one who has served as the captain of the Anbu. For the time being, you will be stationed in the Land of Grass!"

Since the three kids from Team 7 went their separate ways, leaving only Kakashi Hatake relatively relaxed, and considering his past experience, Tsunade did not remove him from his position.

After saying that, Tsunade added, "Last night's fall of the Land of Grass was an attack by the Akatsuki. Shikaku mentioned it to me, and all your handling of the situation was impeccable."

After all, no one can come out on good side if they encounter more than ten S-rank rogue ninjas.

Kakashi Hatake, Shikaku Nara, and others did their best to minimize Konoha's losses; they did a very good job.

Kakashi Hatake lowered his head, still feeling somewhat guilty: "But I don't think I'm up to the task..."

"Kakashi, you need to take responsibility!"

Tsunade glanced at Kakashi Hatake and said in a deep voice, "Naruto is still in the Land of Grass! You don't want to desert in front of your own student, do you? At least hold out until this time!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake had no choice but to agree.

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction and said, "After Iwagakure withdraws its troops, I will transfer you back to Konoha to participate in an important mission..."

"yes…"

Kakashi Hatake felt a sense of relief.

Just as he was about to continue his report, several urgent shouts suddenly came from outside the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"All hands on alert! An Iwa ninja spy has infiltrated!"

"Team 16, Team 19, protect the Hokage! The rest of you, surround and capture him!"

After a brief period of chaos around the Hokage's temporary office, things quickly calmed down, clearly indicating that the Konoha ninja stationed outside were confident in dealing with the enemy.

Unfortunately, the enemy that invaded this time was no ordinary person.

Five minutes later.

The shouts of the ninjas fighting and their screams before death broke the silence once again. Tsunade and Kakashi Hatake could no longer continue their conversation. After leaping out of the room, they were immediately drawn to the enemy before them.

A Hidden Stone Ninja wearing an Iwagakure uniform and a mask brandished a ninja sword and plunged it into the neck of the last Hidden Stone Ninja!

In just a few minutes, the dozen or so Konoha ninjas guarding the temporary office had been completely slaughtered by the enemy!

The Iwa ninja drew his sword again, flicking off a trail of blood, and pointed it at Tsunade and Kakashi Hatake, saying in a deep voice, "Fifth Hokage Tsunade, Copy Ninja Kakashi Hatake, looks like you've made quite a haul this time..."

"court death!"

Tsunade clenched her fist and slammed it down on the Iwa ninja. A large crack instantly appeared in the ground, and countless bricks and stones flew wildly under the impact of her fist!

However, the Iwa ninja seemed completely unaffected. After leaping aside, he clasped his hands together and began forming hand seals, slamming his palm into the ground: "Earth Release: Earth Splitting Palm!"

A clear crack appeared on the ground, and the crack gradually widened, rushing towards Tsunade and Kakashi Hatake at high speed!

Kakashi Hatake frowned, simultaneously forming hand seals, and even completed his technique faster: "Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!"

The two fissures in the earth collided, instantly triggering an explosion!

"Hokage-sama, leave this to me! Please take command of the various locations! I suspect he's not the only one who infiltrated the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Grass!"

Kakashi Hatake stopped Tsunade from rushing forward, gave her a few words of advice, and then drew his kunai and charged ahead.

Tsunade nodded without hesitation and ran off to another location.

Since he was just a mere Iwa ninja spy, she believed that Kakashi Hatake could easily take care of the enemy.

This time, Tsunade was wrong.

Kakashi's enemy this time is quite skilled with a sword!

For a time, he was able to fight Kakashi Hatake to a standstill, until Kakashi Hatake used a little trick to break through the enemy's defense with a kunai!

Kakashi Hatake flipped his kunai, then punched the enemy in the chest, casually disarming him!

"You lost!"

Kakashi Hatake thrust his kunai toward the enemy's throat, but the enemy ducked down and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying and cleanly resolving the predicament.

"As expected, I'm still not good at swordsmanship!"

The Iwa ninja slowly shook his head, then clasped his hands together in a hand seal before exhaling a burst of flame: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Kakashi Hatake's eyes. Almost simultaneously, he clasped his hands together and formed a hand seal, releasing an earthen wall to block the onslaught of flames!

Soon, the earthen wall was reduced to ruins by the flames!

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment!"

Kakashi Hatake's figure vanished instantly beneath the earthen wall, then emerged from the ground beneath the enemy's feet, delivering a punch to the enemy's chin.

boom!

This was a move the Iwagakure ninja hadn't anticipated. After taking a heavy blow to the face, his body was sent flying backward involuntarily!

Kakashi Hatake leaped towards the Iwagakure ninja, reaching out to try and remove his mask: "You're so skilled with the Fireball Jutsu, you wouldn't happen to be...?"

"You guessed right, Kakashi!"

Suddenly, a crimson Sharingan appeared behind the mask of the Iwa ninja. Taking advantage of the shock in Kakashi's eyes, the ninja grabbed Kakashi's shoulder and delivered a knee strike to Kakashi's chest!

The situation reversed almost instantly.

The Iwa ninja slowly removed his mask, revealing Obito Uchiha's somewhat damaged face: "Kakashi, your swordsmanship is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Obito!"

Kakashi Hatake's expression suddenly changed.

This was the third time Kakashi and Obito Uchiha had met.

To be precise, it was Uchiha Obito who died and came back to life more than a decade ago.

No, strictly speaking, this is the second time they've met. After all, the first time Kakashi Hatake learned that Obito Uchiha was still alive, he encountered someone else who was a fake.

Four or five years ago, when Kakashi Hatake finally met Obito Uchiha, he was still the mysterious masked man. Kakashi only said one sentence before completely losing consciousness.

Now, it's truly a reunion of old friends.

However, they had long since stood on different sides, and were even separated by life and death.

Kakashi Hatake slowly stood up, his face no longer showing the joy of seeing an old friend, but instead filled with vigilance and wariness: "Obito, why are you here attacking the village ninjas!"

"..."

Obito Uchiha fell silent.

A moment later, a glint flashed in Obito Uchiha's eyes. As if he had received someone's instruction, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "My subordinates failed to kill you yesterday; today I'll make up for that mistake!"

Kakashi Hatake's expression shifted again, his fingers clenching tightly: "Uehara Naraku was right, you really are the mastermind behind Akatsuki!"

"..."

A bitter feeling flashed through Obito Uchiha's heart. How many bastards like Uehara Naraku had made him take the blame for?

The thought flashed through my mind in an instant.

The next second, Obito Uchiha smiled and said softly, "No, those people are all my comrades! After all, they wouldn't kill their own teammates!"

That's complete nonsense.

Kakuzu has killed countless teammates.

Obito Uchiha was merely rubbing salt into Kakashi's wounds, adding a pinch of chili pepper as well: "How could a ninja like you, who only knows how to complete missions, possibly understand the value of comrades? Don't look at me like that, Kakashi!"

"Obito..."

A bead of cold sweat gradually appeared on Kakashi Hatake's forehead.

At that moment, he didn't know what to say.

Even if he said something, Kakashi felt it was all wrong.

There is no doubt that Nohara Rin died from his Raikiri, and even his hands were stained with Rin's blood.

If you make a mistake, whatever you say is just an excuse.

However, this is definitely not the time to remain silent!

Kakashi Hatake slowly tightened his grip on the kunai in his hand and whispered, "Obito, what exactly do you want to do? Kill me, to avenge Rin?"

"No."

Obito Uchiha slowly raised his finger, coldly scrutinizing Kakashi Hatake: "I just want to revive Rin..."

"resurrection…"

Kakashi Hatake's eyes narrowed instantly, and his voice grew bitter as he said, "Could it be a resurrection like Orochimaru?"

Obito Uchiha shook his head and opened his palm: "No, it's a true resurrection, living freely and enjoying fresh air!"

Obito Uchiha slowly extended his palm, chuckling as he spoke, "Kakashi, would you like to join my organization?"

It was obvious that Obito Uchiha knew the answer.

It's clear that Uehara Naraku, who was manipulating Obito behind the scenes, also knew the answer.

Clearly, Kakashi Hatake, standing before him, also knew his answer.

"Resurrect..."

Kakashi Hatake sighed softly, slowly raising his kunai to his chest: "Then can you bring back everyone who died because of you? Minato-sensei! Kushina-senpai! And countless others who died because of you!"

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki undoubtedly became Kakashi's pretext for refuting Obito Uchiha, after all, those two were also the most important members of Minato's team.

"I only need Lin!"

A flicker of guilt crossed Obito's eyes, but after a moment he regained his composure and burst into wild laughter: "Hahahaha... Just as I thought, I'm the only one in this world who still loves Rin!"

Do you know Lin?

Kakashi Hatake looked at the seemingly crazed Obito Uchiha and said, word by word, "If Rin knew what you're doing now, she would want to kill you even more than I do now!"

"It's okay, I don't care."

Obito Uchiha slowly removed his Iwagakure ninja clothes, his voice gradually becoming emotionless: "It just so happens that we both wanted to kill each other..."

Obito Uchiha raised his head again, looked at Kakashi Hatake in front of him, and slowly formed a hand seal: "Then let's settle this here! I'll kill you first, then go kill the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, and make sure Iwagakure and Konoha never have peace again!"

That's the seal of opposition between the Leaf Village ninjas!

Kakashi Hatake's face turned incredibly ugly. He slowly raised his finger, gritting his teeth as he said, "Obito, you've really gone mad!"

"Oh, then just consider me crazy!"

Obito Uchiha suddenly clenched his hands, and a stream of air shot out from his Mangekyou Sharingan, with a flame entering the stream of air and rushing towards Kakashi Hatake!

"Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!"

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

Kakashi Hatake clasped his hands together in a hand seal, and the water barrier was instantly vaporized by the flames. The steam formed from the water vapor immediately enveloped the two of them!

A fierce battle between old friends has finally erupted!

Just as this fierce battle broke out, Uehara Naraku, who was observing the battle through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, curled the corner of his mouth and said, "In about ten minutes, Konoha's reinforcements will arrive on your battlefield, and you can retreat."

While fighting, Obito Uchiha asked, "What's your purpose? I thought you were going to let me kill Kakashi Hatake..."

"Do whatever you want, if you can."

Uehara Naraku reached out and touched a wild fruit, saying softly, "As for the purpose? I just want to leave Tsunade with the impression that Obito Uchiha led the Akatsuki organization to try to instigate a war between Konoha and Iwagakure."

"Will it work? The Akatsuki members won't cooperate with my actions!"

"Of course it's useful."

Uehara Naraku curled the corners of his lips, pulled out a ring, and smiled kindly, "They'll cooperate with your operation. It's because Tsunade wouldn't agree to my conditions; she'll pay a heavy price!"

Ten minutes later.

Daimyofu, the Land of Grass.

The battle between Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake is nearing its end. The two each possess a Kamui Sharingan, but Obito Uchiha has the upper hand!

What's more, he also possesses the infinite chakra of the Impure World Reincarnation!

This time, Kakashi Hatake was beaten extremely badly. He didn't even touch Obito Uchiha's body before Obito dealt him a severe beating.

Because their Kamui abilities would cause a spatial reaction, Obito Uchiha dared not use Kamui to take Kakashi into his spatial dimension.

Ultimately, after Konoha reinforcements arrived, Obito had no choice but to retreat.

Tsunade conjured a stream of green chakra in her hand and placed it on Kakashi, healing his wounds as she asked, "Kakashi, what happened? Who was that enemy just now...?"

"He is Obito."

Kakashi Hatake stared blankly at the sky, his eyes filled with pain and confusion: "Last night, it was Obito who commanded the Akatsuki to attack us."

This has been confirmed.

Obito Uchiha has become very different from before. He possesses unprecedented power and disdains to lie to him.

"That guy!"

Tsunade clenched her fists and asked in a deep voice, "Is he here to instigate a war between Konoha and Iwagakure?"

"Um."

Kakashi Hatake closed his eyes and whispered, "Obito has completely gone mad... Hokage, I will stay in the Land of Grass and continue fighting him. Next time, I will definitely catch him!"

It seems that Obito Uchiha escaped, but he left with a lot of trouble.

"..."

Tsunade could only nod silently before continuing, "Once we force Iwagakure to retreat, we'll begin our encirclement and suppression of Orochimaru and Obito Uchiha!"

"Yes."

Kakashi Hatake sighed.

How did his old friend end up like this?

If Obito Uchiha knew what Kakashi was thinking, he would definitely feel wronged. Fortunately, Naraku Uehara did not manipulate him to kill Kakashi Hatake.

Obito clearly held back in the battle just now, which is why he spared Kakashi Hatake's life.

When Uehara Naraku saw Uchiha Obito return, he was sitting on Obito's coffin eating wild fruit, which was extremely impolite.

"Obito, how does it feel to see an old friend?"

"Hmph, still the same old story, that guy is still so stupid."

Obito Uchiha frowned, then climbed into the coffin on his own. He was in a very bad mood and didn't want to talk to Naraku Uehara.

Uehara Naraku clicked his tongue in relief, closed the coffin lid for Uchiha Obito, and chuckled, "Well, you'll have to get used to it. You'll have plenty of opportunities to meet again in the future!"

"..."

Obito Uchiha lay listlessly in the coffin, his eyes closed.

Heh, send him to deal with Kakashi Hatake?

Damn it, can't that bastard Uehara Naraku do anything right?!
