Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 215 Obito is about to do something big (Part 1)

Today may be the darkest day in Danzo's life.

First, they discovered that the Root organization's vault had been robbed, then they discovered that their own vault had been robbed, and finally, their dream of becoming Hokage was shattered.

Danzo could tolerate the first two, but the last one made him angrier the more he thought about it.

Danzo lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. His mind was filled with the scene of his conversation with Hiruzen Sarutobi that night, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.

Even when I finally manage to fall asleep, the same scenes keep recurring in my dreams, a series of nightmares.

Danzo then conceived the idea of ​​killing Hiruzen Sarutobi and thus becoming Hokage.

It just so happens that Hiruzen Sarutobi needs to go through the procedures at the Daimyo's residence if he wants to regain the position of Hokage.

The Hokage's departure from the village presents a perfect opportunity for assassination.

To succeed in the assassination, it is essential to know Hiruzen Sarutobi's whereabouts.

When the Hokage goes out, the level of secrecy is always at the highest level to prevent assassination by enemy villages.

After careful selection, Danzo set his sights on Kakashi, who had psychological issues and was also the captain of the Anbu.

Thus, the famous scene from the original work, where Danzo sits in the Hokage's office in the Hokage's seat and opens champagne ahead of time, appears.

After giving Danzo a good talking-to, Hiruzen Sarutobi let him go.

Danzo dared not cause any more trouble and obediently retreated into his shell.

Thus, after some maneuvering, Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage again, shedding his temporary role.

The matter of Hiruzen Sarutobi's return to power was handled calmly by both the Daimyo's government and Konoha Village.

This demonstrates that Hiruzen Sarutobi's prestige and control over Konoha were not something that could be easily challenged.

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi is not invincible; what people care about is often their weakness.

……

In the Land of Water, in Kirigakure, in the Mizukage Building, in the Mizukage's office lounge, Obito, wearing an orange spiral mask, was fast asleep on the bed.

The next moment, a white Zetsu emerged halfway from the ground, shouting, "Obito, something's happened."

"Obito, what happened?" Obito opened his eyes, his tone somewhat lazy.

In the past year or two, apart from occasionally showing up at the Akatsuki organization and returning to Konoha to see Rin, he has been staying in Kirigakure, scheming and fighting with the village's leaders and various bloodline clans.

My body isn't tired, but my mind is.

"The White Zetsu sent to Konoha has gone missing again."

"Hmm? When did this happen?"

Obito sat up abruptly from the bed, his expression unchanged beneath the mask, but he was already displeased.

"About half a month," Afei replied honestly.

"It took you so long to notice?"

"Obito, you need to speak from your conscience. How many things have you entrusted to me?" Tobi glared at him.

"Plus, nothing's happened for so long..."

"Okay, that's understandable. Do you have any leads?"

"Not at all, the White Zetsu has vanished as if it evaporated into thin air."

"hiss……"

Obito took a slight breath, scratched his head, and felt that this was very troublesome.

If I remember correctly, this is the third time.

Two years ago it happened once, then in the Land of Whirlpools it happened once, and now it's happening again. If this continues, how are we supposed to gather information in Konoha?

"Perhaps we should go to Konoha ourselves and investigate."

"You're right, but I doubt we'll find out the truth. It'll be as difficult as finding me in a forest."

"Can you find it?"

Obito shook his head and said, "I can't find it, but I still have to try. It's just a side benefit; it's not my main purpose."

"Oh? What is your main purpose?" Afei asked with some curiosity.

"Collect the Sharingan and subdue Uchiha Gen!"

"This guy's reputation is growing, and his strength is increasing."

"Before, there was only a sword and a dragon, but now there's also a thundercloud. In the future, there may be new tools as well. It's a very powerful subordinate."

"The Akatsuki is in dire need of manpower right now, and we must fill it with people to maintain control."

Obito Uchiha sat on the bed with his legs on the ground and his hands crossed on his knees, his eyes revealing a very deep look.

"Let me guess your plan."

"Are you planning to make a move on that guy's girlfriend or friend?"

Obito shook his head and said, "No, this guy is different from Nagato and the others."

"This person has many friends, is very successful, and has a bright future. Taking action against his friends and lovers will not make him see the world clearly, but will instead make enemies."

"Once you've made an enemy, it's unlikely you can win them over to our side."

"Didn't that guy say he'd never join us unless he couldn't make it in Konoha?"

"Then let him fail in his career."

Ah Fei lowered his head slightly in thought, then looked up and said, "The idea is good, but it's not easy to implement."

"That guy has Orochimaru and the Uchiha clan backing him up, so he's no ordinary person. Ordinary things have limited impact on him."

"So we need to go all out on him. What do you think about teaming up with us to assassinate the Uchiha clan leader?"

"Hehe, this is a big deal, but it's not easy to handle."

"I've figured out how to do it, but the way I obtained Uchiha Gen's chakra doesn't feel very safe. There's a possibility that it might arouse suspicion and cause the operation to fail."

"Without Uchiha Gen's chakra, a simple transformation technique won't fool the Sharingan; the flaws are too great."

"If there are ninjas with sensory abilities, they will have nowhere to hide."

"Ah Fei, do you have any good ideas?"

Afei shook his head. Just then, a black stain appeared on half of Afei's body, followed by a deep, hoarse, cold, and heavy voice.

"The intelligence says that Orochimaru is very fond of conducting all sorts of strange and unusual research."

"Do you think that if Orochimaru, as a teacher, asked for some of Uchiha Gen's chakra for research, would that guy suspect anything?"

Obito's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Black Zetsu, you are indeed clever. You truly deserve to be the second smartest among the three of us."

Black Zetsu: "..."

Who the hell are you insulting?

Madara Uchiha is my pawn, and you are Madara Uchiha's pawn. You've both been played by me. My intelligence is not even as good as yours.

If you weren't still of any use to me, I would have made you pay!

"Is Orochimaru's chakra easy to collect?" Tobi asked, puzzled.

"At least it's much easier to collect than Uchiha Gen's chakra."

"No matter what experiments Orochimaru is conducting, they are definitely inseparable from the power of chakra."

"All we need to do is send White Zetsu to infiltrate Orochimaru's research base and wait for the right opportunity."

"But Konoha Village no longer has any White Zetsu," Tobi said, spreading his hands.

"What? It's gone again?" Black Zetsu asked in surprise.

"That's right, they've disappeared again, just like before."

"But it's alright. Tobi, you'll come with me this time to collect Orochimaru's chakra."

"If the mastermind behind this has their eye on you, I can make my move," Obito said.

"Okay," Afei said.

"Obito, tell me your specific plan, and we'll refine it together."

Obito nodded slightly and said, "First, I plan to have the princess of the Land of Fire summon Uchiha Gen. The reason doesn't need to be too serious; I'm just curious."

"The Uchiha clan is a noble family in the Land of Fire, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is the noble family in the Land of Fire and even the world."

"Since the daimyo's daughter specifically requested to see that guy, the Uchiha clan will certainly not refuse and will definitely comply."

"If that guy has various witnesses in Konoha, there's no way he could frame someone."

"The best time to act is when Uchiha Gen is on his way to or from the Daimyo's residence..."
