Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 212 Akatsuki Gathering 12

In the dark cave.

Black and White rose slowly from the ground and then looked at the furious Obito not far away.

"asshole!!"

"That piece of shit Kakashi! He dares to put everything into the Kamui dimension!"

Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "Then...why not just kill him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark cave fell silent.

It wasn't until White Zetsu asked in confusion, "Could it be... that Kakashi also stored his poop in your space? Did he just poop it directly? Or did he poke it with a stick and throw it in? Can I see it?"

Obito's gaze sharpened as he glared at White Zetsu before speaking, "Under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, killing him or not is meaningless."

He remained utterly indifferent.

She had already said this when Nohara Rin was killed.

Madara once said that the Sharingan can only unleash its greatest power when both are in use.

Even under these circumstances, Obito still failed to dig out Kakashi's own eye.

The reason for this is unknown...

"Project Eye of the Moon is a plan to bring true peace to this world. We know that the preparation time is almost up, but now, an obstacle has appeared."

Obstacles...

Obito turned to look at Zetsu, black and white: "Is that Uzumaki Sora? That guy, do you have any good ideas?"

Black Zetsu shook his head slightly: "Unique intelligence gathering abilities, and the ability to seemingly replicate power. With his current strength, Uzumaki Sora is already not much different from the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama."

Obito's gaze sharpened slightly: "Then... do we need to revive your original body?"

As Madara's will, is Black Zetsu already impatient?

Thinking of this, Obito sensed the cursed seal within his heart. If this wasn't resolved, he wouldn't stand a chance against Madara.

The Eye of the Moon Project must be implemented, but only one person can initiate it.

It's better for someone like Ban to stay quietly in a pure land!

"No, it's not the right time for the main body to be resurrected yet."

Black Zetsu looked at Obito and said, "The Eye of the Moon Plan requires the power of the Tailed Beasts, and Kurama is currently in Konoha. Perhaps we can obtain the power that could blast Uzumaki Ku with a single kick."

Uchiha Yun...

The name flashed through Obito's mind in an instant, and he smiled, saying, "That guy is now highly trusted in Konoha. The Fourth Hokage is not the same as that old man, the Third Hokage!"

"Without having received the will of the Second Hokage, Minato Namikaze wouldn't suppress the Uchiha clan just out of fear."

"If I'm not mistaken, Minato Namikaze might already be considering... whether the Uchiha clan could serve as the Fifth or Sixth Hokage."

Black Zetsu nodded slightly: "What you said is true. But all of this... is only because Uchiha Yun has not yet seen the hopelessness of this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito's pupils contracted slightly.

Is he planning to treat me the same way he treated me back then?

Having gained love and then lost it, the Uchiha clan is filled with hatred for the world. When they lose their bonds, they not only gain power, but also begin to have a different perspective on the world.

Black Zetsu's voice rang out again: "As descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, the Uchiha clan has a stone tablet left behind by the Sage beneath their shrine. Only the Sharingan can read its contents."

"With the power of the complete Susanoo, Uchiha Yun's Sharingan must have reached the level of his former self. Therefore, he must have seen that stone tablet."

"The only path to peace was not recognized by Uchiha Kumo, clearly because he had not yet experienced the darkness of this world. That was the prophecy of the Sage, and also the best destiny for this world."

"If Uchiha Kumo can join us, then Uzumaki Sora, who joined Akatsuki but whose motives are unclear, will not be a concern."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent once again.

The joking White Zetsu spoke again: "If Uchiha Yun joins, can he answer my question? A guy that strong should have no problem with that, right?"

However, neither of the two people present were in the mood to pay attention to him.

After a moment of silence, Obito said, "His mother lives in Konoha year-round. You and I can infiltrate, but if we are suspected of being us, the result will only be more harm than good."

Black Zetsu shook his head slightly: "There's no reason for the four great ninja villages to take action against a middle-aged woman who hasn't even opened her eyes yet. They have no benefit whatsoever except in angering Uchiha Kumo."

"What I want to talk about... is Uchiha Kumo's younger sister, Uchiha Izumi!"

Obito looked at him: "That's right. After the Chunin Exams, if Uchiha Izumi becomes a Chunin, then she will leave Uchiha Kumo's Team 10 and begin to carry out missions independently."

"A twin sister of Uchiha Kumo, at her current age, no one can be sure whether she will become a second Uchiha Kumo."

"Under these circumstances, the four great ninja villages would have a reason to take action."

Black Zetsu nodded: "Uchiha Kumo, enraged by the loss of his love, will inevitably seek revenge against the four great ninja villages. Amidst the chaos of the five great nations, he will remember the contents of the stone tablet."

Obito's gaze gradually turned hostile: "That will be the time when he joins us. And amidst the chaos among the Five Great Nations, the operation to collect the Tailed Beasts could even involve framing each other. In this way, when the final plan begins, no one will know our true purpose."

So... Rin fell into a trap and was sealed inside her body by Kirigakure. She only had to return to the village before she started going berserk...

These... are so similar!

A surge of blue energy erupted from his clenched fists; if it weren't for the presence of the cursed talisman...

"call……"

After letting out a breath, Obito relaxed his body: "A very good plan. So first, it's the Chunin Exams of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Uchiha Izumi must win in the end."

Black Zetsu's lips curled into a white smile: "I've prepared for the first step. So, whether as the original body or as Obito, perhaps it's time to meet this outstanding junior."

As soon as he finished speaking, Black and White Jue slowly sank into the ground.

Obito frowned slightly.

Nearly nine years ago, during that surprise attack on Konoha, Uzumaki Sora sold the information to the Fourth Hokage, which led to his capture.

Both the Fourth Hokage and Shisui knew about Obito's identity.

Did Uchiha Kumo, who helped Shisui reverse the situation for the Uchiha clan, know his own identity?

This is also the meaning behind Black Zetsu's words just now.

Infiltrating Konoha isn't difficult, but with that bastard Kakashi around, Kamui's abilities aren't exactly foolproof.

That bastard Kakashi!

Obito's eyes were filled with rage. If it weren't for this guy, it would have been incredibly easy for him to go into Konoha and find Uchiha Yun!

It seems I can only show up suddenly, chat for a few words, and then run away.

Furthermore, given that Uchiha Yun might already know his identity, his own dignity would be greatly diminished.

As he was pondering this, Afei suddenly looked into the distance.

At a time like this... why would I want to attend the meeting myself?

……

At the same time, the candlelight on the stone platform flickered slightly.

The Illusionary Body Technique.

Immediately afterwards, illusions of Akatsuki members began to appear.

"Holding a meeting at this time... what happens if the mission fails?"

Orochimaru, standing to the side, twitched his lips: "Let them run for a while... Isn't life most beautiful in its most desperate moments?"

At this moment, Payne spoke up: "Kakuzu's partner is dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru looked at Kakuzu: "Another one dead? Although their strength was poor, it seems like they're dying a bit too frequently..."

Kakuzu replied indifferently, "Your abilities are too weak; your existence will only hinder me. Orochimaru, would you like to become my new partner?"

Orochimaru, still all smiles, said, "Immortal test subjects are extremely rare..."

Just as they were about to start arguing, Black and White Jue said from the side, "It's less about being killed by the enemy and more about being killed by your own teammates, isn't it? Everyone can see for themselves..."

Even as the scene of him taking down both his enemies and his teammates appears, Kakuzu remains disdainful.

"Those who lack ability can't even dodge. Such a partner will only hinder me."

At this moment, Uzumaki Sora, who had been silent all along, laughed and said, "You were once sent by Takigakure to assassinate Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage of Konoha. An assassination with such a huge disparity in strength would naturally fail. Yet the village blamed everything on you for such a doomed mission."

"From that time on, you started only caring about money? Did you?"

Uzumaki Sora's voice directly exposed Kakuzu's wounds, and for a moment, even Kakuzu's illusions became somewhat unstable.

Even when on the verge of rage, Kakuzu still retains his rationality.

Although each member of the Akatsuki had their own strengths and was unruly, none of them dared to go against Pain. After the Sea of Ending, no one dared to say "I'll kill you" to Uzumaki Sora.

While ninja battles may not always be one of constant strength or weakness, when it comes to intelligence, no one in the entire ninja world can compare to Uzumaki Sora!

"Huh...?"

A bizarre burst of laughter broke the silence.

Afei, wearing a mask, suddenly appeared, glanced at the somewhat awkward atmosphere, and froze on the spot.

"Seniors...did they have a fight?"

Uzumaki Sora glanced at Obito: "Interns... can they participate in meetings now?"

Afei paused for a moment, then bowed slightly to the air: "Senior, as an intern, I also really want to become a full member. The leader sent me here with that in mind, right?"

As he spoke, Afei looked around, his gaze finally settling on Kakuzu: "Kakuzu-senpai! Your teammate is dead again?"

In an instant, Kakuzu's gaze swept over him.

Shivering, Tobi turned to Pain: "Boss... Boss... I... am I... going to partner with Kakuzu-senpai?"

"This... in that case, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't live more than a few days..."

Payne glanced expressionlessly at the pretentious Tobi, then said, "I already have a target for Kakuzu's partner, and so do you. After being an intern for so long, it's time for you to become a full-fledged employee."

Getting a permanent position?

Obito's gaze beneath his mask turned slightly serious. Unlike his outward appearance, his promotion... shouldn't be decided solely by Nagato.

This time, he didn't even ask for his opinion!

His gaze met Zetsu's briefly, and the next moment... Obito laughed.

"Am I finally going to get a permanent position?"

"And I don't even have to partner with Kakuzu-senpai?"

"I'm so lucky!!"

"Huh? I accidentally blurted out my true feelings, Kakuzu-senpai, please don't be angry..."

"Oh no, I've offended a senior colleague on my first day of promotion. Am I going to get killed?"

……

No one paid any attention to Tobi's antics. Pain looked at Sora and said, "The location of the two targets will be given to Sora in a moment. Sora, Kakuzu, and Juzo Biwa will go find them."

Uzumaki Sora nodded slightly and smiled, "Exploding clay's special ability is indeed quite interesting. Coupled with an unkillable cultist, perhaps this time it can become Kakuzu's stable partner."

Orochimaru, standing to the side, licked his lips: "In this world... are there really beings that cannot be killed?"

Sasori glanced indifferently at Orochimaru, nodded slightly to Sora, and said, "Since there's nothing for me here, I'll take my leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scorpion's illusion vanished.

"Is this the vision and perspective of a senior? Amazing!"

Afei exclaimed in admiration, then looked at Kong: "Senior Scorpion just nodded to Senior Kong. Was that a report? It seems Senior Kong's power is the strongest..."

Uzumaki Sora chuckled: "Ah Fei, are you trying to make the leader question me? But this method of digging a pit is a bit too crude, isn't it?"

Ah Fei paused for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I'm just a junior; I overstepped my bounds in dealing with you, senior. I'm very sorry!"

At this moment, Payne spoke up, "Then, the three of you will be responsible for bringing those two people back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pain, acting as the central hub, severed the connection. The locations of Deidara and Hidan had already been revealed; this was only possible with the help of White Zetsu, who had found suitable candidates.

After the illusion disappeared, Obito instantly lost his goofy demeanor.

He then looked at Payne and asked, "You didn't discuss the issue of my permanent appointment with me."

Payne said indifferently, "Whether it's Deidara or that immortal guy, their special abilities will be very useful in the future. Right now, only Kakuzu is lacking a partner."

Obito frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Nagato, you must have discovered the darkness of this world a long time ago. I hope you can think clearly and understand what the purpose of our existence is."

Payne nodded. "I know, and I've been working in that direction. You don't need to worry about that."

Don't worry?

How could I not worry?

Akatsuki exists for the Eye of the Moon Project, and no one can stop it.

After the battle at the Sea of Ending, Uzumaki Sora spoke with Nagato's true form.

It was after that incident that Nagato's attitude changed significantly.

"Nagato, I told you back then. You'd regret letting Uzumaki Sora join Akatsuki!"

However, Pain calmly replied, "With his power, Akatsuki must have the only one capable of matching Konoha's Uchiha Kumo..."

……

I have a low-grade fever, so my typing speed is very slow. Sorry.

Updates will resume today. I said I'd take a day off, and I'll take one day off!

My head is throbbing... and I'm typing slowly too.
