Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 120 Obito's Plans

In the western edge of the Land of Fire, in a forest, Obito Uchiha, wearing a white mask with black patterns, sat on a tree trunk with one leg dangling in the air.

Recently, Obito Uchiha has not returned to the main camp, but has been constantly changing locations to prevent his teacher, Minato Namikaze, from tracking him down.

That night, Minato Namikaze's space-time ninjutsu and combat prowess truly startled Obito Uchiha.

After the Nine-Tailed Beast Ball was transferred, he confidently invaded Konoha, only to be brutally defeated in a single encounter. If it weren't for Izanagi, he would have truly perished in Konoha.

The next moment, a white Zetsu emerged from the tree trunk.

"Fei, how's the situation?"

"Hey, I have good news."

"According to intelligence obtained from spies in various villages, the Fourth Hokage died while sealing the Nine-Tails, so you no longer need to hide from the world, XZ."

"Hmph, what do you mean by hiding? I just don't want our base to be discovered."

"I'm prepared; the Fourth Generation can't kill me at all."

The White Zetsu named Fei didn't expose him and continued, "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still alive, and he has split in two."

"Divide into two?"

"The Nine-Tails was split into two parts, one part was sealed in Kushina Uzumaki's body, and the other part was sealed in Naruto Uzumaki, the son of the Fourth Hokage."

Obito's corrupted mind was much more useful; after a moment's thought, he understood Minato Namikaze's intentions.

"As expected of the Yellow Flash and the Fourth Hokage, he remained calm and rational throughout, not only saving his wife and children but also preserving the foundation of Konoha."

"Speaking of which, the spies in the various villages are quite capable; they even managed to gather this kind of secret intelligence..."

"This information is compiled from various villages; some villages may not know the details."

"Furthermore, rumors are circulating in Konoha that it was a descendant of Uchiha Madara who attacked the village."

"You guessed quite accurately..."

……

With such a major incident occurring in Konoha, the Konoha leadership must give an explanation to the ninja and villagers.

Compared to the ambiguity surrounding Obito's identity in the original work, in this world, both Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi tend to believe that they were descendants of Madara Uchiha who attacked Konoha.

To ensure the stability of Konoha and prevent internal strife at a critical moment when Konoha was in dire need of rebuilding and facing both internal and external troubles, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally intervened in the drafting of the administrative department's announcement.

The announcement released by the administration department briefly introduced the past deeds of Madara Uchiha.

The text specifically mentions that Madara Uchiha worked with the First Hokage to quell the chaos and establish Konoha Village.

Later, due to a conflict with the First Hokage, he wanted to lead the Uchiha clan to leave Konoha. However, no one from the Uchiha clan followed him, so he had to leave the village alone.

When he returned, he rode the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha, fought a fierce battle with the First Hokage, and finally died at the hands of the First Hokage.

These accounts were pieced together by Konoha's high-ranking officials after reviewing Konoha's official files, Uchiha clan files, and files from other ninja clans.

But that's about all the detail there is. The world doesn't have a tradition of officially recording history, so there are generally three ways to explore the past.

First, find those old people who lived through what happened back then and are still alive.

Second, review the files of major events that occurred in the past. These files usually involve prominent figures of that time.

Third, the history recorded by those who experienced it at the time for personal reasons.

With Madara Uchiha's descendants taking the blame, official endorsement, and the Uchiha clan's selfless dedication and bloody battle on the night of the Nine-Tails' death, the village's ninjas and civilians did not blame the Uchiha clan.

After all, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and the same is true for a big family. Even in an ordinary family, it is not uncommon to have an unfilial son.

It's just that the unfilial sons of the Uchiha clan were too destructive, but that happened decades ago and has little to do with the Uchiha clan decades later.

How could the Uchiha clan, decades later, possibly have any say in the affairs of their ancestor who was the clan head decades ago?

If we can blame someone, then if their distant relatives with whom they share blood do something wrong, should they also bear responsibility?

That doesn't make sense.

But people who have lost their families and are separated from their spouses need an outlet for their emotions. They can't blame the dead for not running fast enough or not being strong enough, can they?

To those who have lost loved ones: even if a powerful enemy attacked, the Konoha leadership and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki failed in their duties, allowing the Nine-Tails to escape. They must bear some responsibility...

For this reason, Kushina Uzumaki, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, inevitably faced complaints and disdain.

However, with a powerful enemy attacking and the Fourth Hokage sacrificing himself for the village to quell the unrest, most of the villagers who had lost friends and family were unable to express their feelings openly.

They usually only express their dissatisfaction and complaints behind their backs, or isolate themselves by avoiding contact with others.

Only a small number of heartless people would mock, complain, or ridicule Kushina in front of her.

Some people have lost all conscience. If you help them or protect them, they will only take it for granted and will not feel grateful at all. They are extremely selfish.

Therefore, Kushina hasn't been doing very well lately.

However, Kushina had already experienced exclusion, isolation, complaints, and ridicule in her youth, but with Naruto, her best friend, and Jiraiya as support, she didn't take it to heart.

The main issue is that he hasn't recovered from the loss of Minato Namikaze, and he's generally in a low mood.

……

"Where is it accurate?"

"I have absolutely no blood relation to that old man, okay?"

Obito rolled his eyes, revealing his three-tomoe Sharingan, and smirked under his mask, speaking with disdain.

"You're wrong. According to our investigation, you are a descendant of the Ban family."

"Did that old man have a wife?"

"His appearance and temperament don't seem like those of someone who could get married..."

"Ban never married, but that doesn't mean he didn't have women in his youth."

"In his youth, Madara was the greatest genius of the Uchiha clan, and later became the clan leader. Madara had no interest in women, but he couldn't resist the clan elders constantly nagging him about leaving behind his bloodline..."

"Besides, even if you are not a descendant of Madara, you have inherited Madara's will, so you can be considered a descendant of Madara."

"Alright, alright, can we stop talking about offspring?"

Obito Uchiha looked irritated, and his tone was quite agitated.

"Okay, what are your plans next?"

"Should we find another opportunity to capture the Nine-Tails in Konoha?"

"The Fourth Hokage is dead, you can come and go as you please."

Obito shook his head and said, "No."

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must be heavily guarded right now. Most importantly, the seal on the Nine-Tails is very strong when it's not in its productive period, so even if we go there, we won't be able to extract the Nine-Tails."

"I plan to go to Kirigakure."

"Black Zetsu has sent word: The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, has sealed the newly born Three-Tails into his own body."

"I will find an opportunity to control the Three-Tails and Yagura, thereby wreaking havoc in Kirigakure and disrupting the ninja world!"

When he recalled how Kirigakure sealed the Three-Tails into Rin's body, Obito's three-tomoe Sharingan couldn't help but transform into the Mangekyou Sharingan, his heart filled with endless hatred!

"What about Xiao's side?"

"Let them develop on their own first, but check on them from time to time, and don't let your guard down."

"Also, send White Zetsu to infiltrate Konoha to gather intelligence."

"By the way, find me suitable three-tomoe Sharingan users within the Uchiha clan. The more targets, the better."

"My left eye feels empty and uncomfortable. I also need materials to use Izanagi."

"clear."

The next moment, Obito's figure was sucked into the distorted spatial vortex, and the white Zetsu's body disappeared into the green tree trunk...
