Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 360 Uchiha Obito

After leaving Konoha, Aokiji immediately contacted Tsurugi Fubuki to inquire about the progress.

Crane Wing Snow apologized in a low voice.

When his subordinates failed to perform their duties effectively, Aokiji generously said, "Don't worry about it. It's been difficult for you in such a short time. Here's what we'll do... I'll define the scope for you a bit."

"Define the area?"

Aokiji glanced at him: "Hmm, but before that, we need to catch the little rats lurking in the shadows first..."

Crane Wing Snowflakes was taken aback: "A rat?"

Aokiji quickly formed hand seals and slammed his palm down on the ground. The massive ice-attribute chakra he had refined spread outwards through his palm, freezing everything in its path.

Ice Escape: Ice Age.

This was the first time Tsurugi Fubuki had ever seen Aokiji use Ice Release ninjutsu. He used such a wide-range ninjutsu right from the start, and he was speechless as he looked at the snow-covered environment around him.

Considering his own use of ice-style ninjutsu, it's no wonder that Aokiji is known as the strongest ice-style ninja.

She just didn't quite understand why they would use ninjutsu.

"Lord Aokiji, what's wrong...?"

Aokiji did not respond. In the blink of an eye, he quickly completed a set of hand seals, closed his eyes, raised his arms, and formed the Yin seal with his sword fingers.

Aokiji was concentrating intently, sensing the surroundings.

Aokiji isn't particularly good at sensory abilities, so he needs to use the Ice Age as a stepping stone to enhance his sensory abilities.

Once he leaves the village, Obito, that kid hiding in the shadows, might be watching him from there.

Before handing over the task to his subordinates, Aoki Pheasant must first rule out this possibility.

A short while later, Aokiji sensed a figure nearby.

found it……

Aokiji brought his palms together, forming a hand seal, then separated them. His right palm condensed into a ring of ice, with irregular serrated edges around the ring. He raised his arm, forming an L-shape, and slashed down fiercely in the direction he sensed.

The ice wheel spun rapidly in the air, growing larger and emitting a piercing sound, destroying everything in its path with overwhelming force.

As the smoke that caused the damage dissipated, a large area of ​​trees in front of us was precisely cut in half, with neat seams like laser cuts.

Crane Wing Fubuki opened her mouth wide, speechless with shock.

Suddenly, a burst of applause came from ahead, startling her.

anyone?

Aokiji had expected this and didn't think much of it. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure slowly emerging from the lingering smoke.

Hehe... You finally decided to give it up...

Aokiji stared intently, and his pupils reflected a figure dressed in black and wearing an orange patterned mask as it entered his field of vision.

When Tsurugi Fubuki saw this masked man, his wide eyes revealed deep surprise.

She had no idea when he had come to her side.

"I'm sorry, Lord Aokiji, I was completely unaware that someone was following me."

Crane Wings Blowing Snow's voice was full of apology.

Aokiji spoke calmly, reassuring his subordinate, "Don't mind him, this guy is aiming at me."

Crane Wing Snowflakes was slightly taken aback.

She remembered that Lord Aokiji had been in the village all this time.

Who would deliberately follow him?

"That's amazing! How did you figure that out?"

A male voice drifted out from behind the mask, tinged with surprise.

Aokiji's lips curled into a smirk. He knew without a doubt that the guy in front of him was Obito: "I have no obligation to answer your question."

Obito shrugged, his tone flippant: "Quite arrogant, huh? Well... never mind, most Uchiha are like that."

Aokiji pretended not to know and asked, "Who are you?"

A slight smirk played on Obito's lips beneath the mask: "Who do you think I am?"

"Hmph, playing tricks." Aokiji's eyes turned red, his gaze cold. "If there's nothing else, don't bother me. Otherwise..."

Obito interrupted, "Or what?"

Aokiji responded swiftly with his actions.

The three magatama with the tomoe pattern quickly thickened and connected together, the small black dot in the center of the eye disappeared, forming a red hole, and the overall shape was snowflake-like.

A blue, ghostly hand suddenly appeared behind Obito, gripping him tightly.

Seeing this, Aokiji was not very happy.

Kamui, is that right...?

Crane Wing Snow snorted coldly and shouted, "Arrogant fellow, you've seen it now, haven't you? This is what happens when you offend Lord Aokiji."

However, something unexpected happened.

The masked man in front of them actually walked out directly from the ghostly hand of the Soul Flame, as if his body had been passed right through it.

"Impossible! How could this be!"

Obito's abilities far exceeded Tsurugi Fubuki's comprehension, and his swaying eyes revealed an incredulous gaze.

Obito raised his hands, somewhat helplessly, and said, "It seems you don't intend to have a calm discussion."

Aokiji didn't want to waste words with him. He summoned the complete Soul Flame behind Obito, thrusting his palm horizontally. His sharp fingers pierced through Obito's body.

Crane Wing Snowflakes' expression brightened with joy: "This time it'll definitely work..."

She didn't rejoice too soon. The next second, the masked man repeated his previous action, directly piercing through the attack of the Soul Fire.

"How could this be..." Tsurugi Fubuki opened her mouth.

Aokiji glanced at him sideways.

Heyi Fuxue met this look, and his eyes were slightly dissatisfied, as if he was scolding himself for making such a fuss.

"Feel sorry……"

Sweat beaded on Crane Wing Fubuki's face as she lowered her head, not daring to meet Aokiji's gaze. Her overreaction just now had truly embarrassed Lord Aokiji.

Obito glanced back at the blue giant, rested his chin on his finger, and analyzed, "As expected, this isn't Susanoo."

The soul fire surged into a real flame, leaped back to Aokiji's side, and then transformed back into human form. Aokiji jumped onto his palm, looking down at him: "Susanoo... Hah... You even know this."

Obito looked up at Aokiji's Mangekyou Sharingan and asked, "Is this really okay, using your eye techniques so freely?"

Using the Mangekyou Sharingan has side effects; it either makes you an idiot or someone who is reckless and fearless.

Clearly, the Aokiji belongs to the latter category.

Obito was able to use Kamui freely without being affected because half of his body was White Zetsu. He didn't understand what Aokiji relied on.

Aokiji said calmly, "That's none of your concern."

Obito chuckled, "Fine, I'll tell you my identity because of those eyes of yours."

Knowing full well what the person in front of him would say, Aokiji couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Uchiha... Madara..."

To make his lie more believable, Obito even revealed his Sharingan.

Aokiji was only slightly surprised symbolically before regaining his composure, while Tsurugi Fubuki, standing next to him, gave him a look of utter astonishment.

Aokiji laughed: "What a joke! Just because you say you're Uchiha Madara doesn't mean I have to believe you are Uchiha Madara."

Obito said in a deep voice, "Believe it or not."

Aokiji tilted his head and sneered, "Well, since you're Uchiha Madara, could you please take off your mask? I'm quite interested in what he actually looks like."

"……Can."

Aokiji paused slightly, then smiled and said, "There are some preconditions for this, aren't there?"

Obito nodded and said, "If you help me with something..."

As if he'd heard a hilarious joke, Aokiji burst out laughing, glancing around. "The 'you' you're referring to isn't 'me,' is it?"

"What? Is there someone else here?"

Aokiji didn't rush to mock him: "What's the reason?"

"I can help you take revenge on the higher-ups in Konoha."

"You seem to know me quite well."

"These kinds of things are not hard to deduce and conclude if one is willing to investigate."

Aokiji remained noncommittal, saying disdainfully, "Revenge is something I can do on my own. Besides, I don't want others interfering in such matters."

Obito chuckled, "But what if I add other bargaining chips?"

Aokiji paused, then waited quietly for the other person to continue.

"For example, I can help you revive your lover, Tsunade."
