Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 83 I'm a Genius

"I will definitely find a way to uncover the truth behind Obito Uchiha's plot to murder the Fourth Hokage and his wife, and gather information on all Akatsuki members. I already have a lead..."

Itachi Uchiha frowned and brought up Obito's problem: "Obito Uchiha is not the kind-hearted Konoha ninja of the past that was rumored to be."

After he acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan, his power was vastly different from before. Please, Hokage-sama, stop sending innocent people to sacrifice themselves.

"..."

The Konoha Anbu nodded sullenly.

Although it appeared that this Konoha ANBU member came to ask Uchiha Itachi for information and to pass on orders, Uchiha Itachi actually received more information.

Perhaps for this reason, Itachi Uchiha did not have any particular suspicions.

However, Itachi Uchiha did not particularly trust the Anbu members in front of him.

Or rather, Itachi Uchiha did not trust the Konoha leadership.

After all, his younger brother was still living in Konoha, and Itachi Uchiha understood the principle of keeping a bandit as a form of self-respect.

Therefore, Itachi Uchiha did not reveal any information about Akatsuki. Instead, he made a show of deception, saying, "After I have gathered all the important information, I will find an opportunity to return to Konoha and report to the Hokage in person."

"OK."

The Konoha Anbu glanced up at him and said softly, "Now that I've encountered Lord Uchiha Itachi, my mission is complete, and I must return to Konoha immediately!"

"Take care, senior."

Itachi Uchiha nodded respectfully.

Just as the Konoha ANBU member was about to leave, he suddenly turned to look at Uchiha Itachi and said, "By the way, the Hokage specifically asked me to say one last thing: Uchiha Sasuke is still ranked first in the Ninja Academy."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi remained silent for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

His younger brother, who was still at the Konoha Ninja Academy, was his only soft spot in the world, and the last warmth he left behind.

As Itachi Uchiha smiled, his eyes revealed an uncontrollable pain and sorrow.

Immediately, the sadness on his face turned into anger.

Itachi Uchiha gripped his kunai tightly and slammed it into the tree trunk, his anger no longer concealed: "Obito Uchiha!"

Uchiha Itachi, along with his father Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui, made countless efforts to resolve the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, even going so far as to associate with treacherous villains like Shimura Danzo.

As a result, Obito Uchiha ignored all their sacrifices!

The information mentioned by the Konoha Anbu came from Kakashi, and Itachi Uchiha trusted Kakashi Hatake's judgment.

If Kakashi Hatake can confirm that it was Obito Uchiha who did it... then it must have been Obito who did it!

As Kakashi's teammate in the Anbu, Itachi Uchiha knew about Kakashi's bond with Obito Uchiha, and that the white-haired Jonin would never damage his teammate's reputation.

After a long while.

Uchiha Itachi gradually regained his senses and leaned against the tree, lost in thought.

He wasted too much time talking to that senior Anbu member from Konoha. It's time to meet with Uchiha Obito!

However, Itachi Uchiha's feelings about wanting to meet had changed.

After Itachi Uchiha drew his kunai and left, a figure quietly emerged from the ground; it was Naraku Uehara.

"I'm such a genius..."

Uehara Naraku touched his chin.

Based on the known results, and then fabricating the process, Uehara felt that he was a genius and the perfect candidate to be the mastermind behind everything.

Originally, neither Konoha nor Itachi Uchiha knew the identity of the mysterious masked man. Uehara Naraku used his innate illusion skills to reveal Obito Uchiha's identity to Kakashi Hatake, who then leaked it to everyone in the Akatsuki organization.

Neither Konoha nor Itachi Uchiha know Obito Uchiha's abilities, and Naraku Uehara has fabricated information out of thin air, leaking information about Obito's Kamui to Itachi Uchiha.

Furthermore, Itachi Uchiha's future would always be under Kisame Hoshigaki's surveillance, so he couldn't possibly leak any secrets.

Even if Itachi Uchiha wanted to find Kakashi Hatake in the future to verify whether Obito Uchiha was the culprit who killed the Fourth Hokage and his wife and instigated conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, he would never point to the Konoha Anbu he encountered today.

If things continue like this, Obito Uchiha will eventually become an enemy of the entire world.

Or rather, Obito Uchiha is now universally hated.

Moreover, Uehara was somewhat impressed with his own quick thinking in the face of adversity.

If he hadn't made up that he had a cursed mark in his brain earlier, he would have fought Itachi Uchiha to the point of brain mush by now!

Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha are now bound to become enemies...

Uehara Naraku flipped through the Destiny Skills panel, where the portraits of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito were meeting, a hint of inscrutable mischievousness appearing on his face.

However, Uehara also had some unexpected gains.

Main quest: Fulfill the bookseller's wish to become the biggest boss in the ninja world. Progress 5%, quest incomplete, reward unknown.

They only leaked a portion of Obito's information, yet they've already achieved two percent progress. What exactly is the criterion for judging this mission?

"Never mind, let's go check out the excitement first."

Uehara Naraku's body gradually sank into the ground.

If Itachi Uchiha receives the information he provides but still refuses to give him a satisfactory result, then he will have to find a way to take advantage of Konoha.

Two days ago, they killed Yamanaka Fu and a group of Root ninjas.

Given Danzo Shimura's personality, he would definitely try to send another group of people to investigate. Why not take this opportunity to secretly send a copy of Obito Uchiha's information to Konoha?

As for his identity...

It would be perfect to borrow Itachi Uchiha's identity.

Uehara Naraku felt a bit arrogant. Apart from Konan and Nagato's unrealistic ideas about him, he felt that everything in the ninja world was about to be under his control.

On a barren mountain.

The encounter between the Uchiha clans is unfolding exactly as Uehara Naraku had envisioned.

Obito Uchiha removed his mask. Since people who shouldn't know already knew his identity, there was no point in continuing to hide it.

One half of his face was unharmed, while the other half was covered in gruesome scars.

When Obito saw Itachi arrive, he forced a smile: "Itachi, I thought you wouldn't want to see me again!"

Itachi Uchiha's eyes gradually turned crimson. He walked step by step towards Obito Uchiha and asked coldly, "Because I also want to know why the most passionate senior in the clan has become like this..."

There's no particular reason; I'm just tired of this boring world.

Obito Uchiha shrugged and chuckled, saying, "Wouldn't it be nice to create a new world, one without bloodshed or conflict?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha frowned, somewhat unable to understand Obito's thoughts.

However, this did not hinder his plans. A red light flashed in Itachi Uchiha's eyes, and a ball of pitch-black flame appeared on Obito's body!

Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique: Amaterasu Flame!

An unpredictable attack position, the strongest fire jutsu that will never be forgotten!

Obito Uchiha stood calmly amidst the flames of Amaterasu, staring at Itachi Uchiha: "Itachi, do you think you can kill me just because I'm not Madara Uchiha? You're too naive, kid!"

Obito Uchiha was tough on the outside, but he was actually quite frightened inside!

Fortunately, he had taken precautions in advance and activated Kamui's penetration ability beforehand. Otherwise, if he had been caught off guard and Amaterasu had touched him, even if he had hidden in Kamui's space, he would have had difficulty getting rid of it!

"No, I was just testing whether you were still qualified to continue our cooperation..."

Itachi Uchiha didn't care about his teasing, but he didn't retract Amaterasu. He just quietly looked at Obito Uchiha and began to estimate the duration of Amaterasu's burning effect.

According to the information provided by that senior Konoha ANBU member, Obito Uchiha could withstand penetration for about five to eight minutes.
