Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 110 Obito's Defenses Are Broken (10,000 words, please subscribe)

"That's strange, why haven't Shihara Hidezawa and the others made any moves yet?"

Inside the Mizukage Building in Kirigakure, Obito Uchiha stroked his chin and asked with some confusion.

Almost a week has passed since Xiuzawa and his group landed in the Land of Water.

For the past week, these guys have seemed to have completely vanished, leaving no trace whatsoever, not even a peep.

If Obito hadn't known how powerful these people were, he would have even suspected that they were already dead!

Obviously, this was impossible, and the quieter these people were, the more uneasy Obito became.

"Perhaps they're plotting something, and with the Hidden Mist Village so tightly guarded right now, they probably won't dare to make any big moves."

While looking at the report, Black Zetsu spoke up, secretly wishing that Xiuze and his group would just leave!

Ever since he saw Xiuzawa's thing that resembled "Yang Release: Chakra Mode", he has been tossing and turning every night.

After all, he knew all too well what this technique represented, but he just couldn't be sure right now.

"Apart from Hashirama Senju, all the other Ashura descendants play with tailed beasts. How could Shihara Hidezawa create Chakra Mode without a tailed beast?"

Black Zetsu couldn't understand it. If he hadn't failed to sense Kurama's chakra, he would have even suspected that Shuzawa had already attacked Kurama!

But either way, it's not a good thing for him, because it represents uncertainty, because it means that something is out of his control.

He still needs to figure out what's going on, so the best option is to avoid causing any trouble.

But he also knew that Shihara Hidezawa probably hadn't left.

Even though he sensed something was wrong with Xiuzawa and, in order to avoid being accused of "colluding with the enemy," he never arranged for White Zetsu to follow him again.

But Shuzawa is a guy who does things with a strong sense of purpose. Perhaps because he follows Danzo, he won't leave until he finishes his work!

"However, we still need to be careful; their quietness might be a sign that they are brewing something."

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu couldn't help but remind Obito.

"Especially now that Kirigakure is conducting a large-scale search, this is bad news for them, but it could also be a point worth exploiting, so..."

"Are you worried they'll take advantage of the lack of preparedness in the fog of concealment and then do something?"

Upon hearing this, Obito shook his head dismissively.

"They are indeed quite capable, but do you think they could find me so easily? And once they find me, would they dare to attack a mere Kage within the Hidden Mist?"

They did things like burning down the Tsuchikage's building, capturing the Raikage, and kidnapping the Tsuchikage's son.

Even if they didn't openly and directly attack each other in a village, it wasn't far off, was it?

However, what surprised Black Zetsu was that figuring out the relationship between Obito and the Mizukage was not a simple matter.

However, to ensure there were no problems, Black Zetsu added a sentence.

"That's true, but you also know about Shihara Hidezawa's analytical and judgment abilities."

I'll go inform Nagato and the others. They should be almost fully recovered by now, and it's time to let them get some exercise.

"Whatever."

Obito thought for a moment and then nodded. Although he felt it was unnecessary, it was better to be on the safe side.

After all, looking back on his life after becoming "Uchiha Madara", Hidezawa was the only one who made him suffer repeated setbacks and even made him take the blame repeatedly.

Such people are somewhat eerie, so it's always good to be careful!

"However, Nagato's situation isn't good right now. If things continue like this, it will only get worse. Is there any way to make him more combat-ready?"

"Combat strength?"

Black Zetsu gave Obito a look that said, "Are you out of your mind?" Fortunately, Black Zetsu was used to it, since this guy would always have a crazy moment from time to time.

"I think maintaining the current situation is about right. If we enhance it any further, this guy might become difficult to control."

"Hmph, he's nothing but a pathetic pawn. Don't think of him as anything special."

Obito shook his head indifferently. Since Black Zetsu had already refused, he wouldn't say anything more, but he also planned to think it over carefully.

Obito wouldn't deny that Nagato was indeed very capable, but he didn't think Nagato could have any impact on him!

He couldn't defeat Hidezawa because Hidezawa also possessed spatial abilities, just like he had suffered a setback at the hands of Minato Namikaze.

But Nagato's eyes weren't even his own; using this power was risking his life.

More importantly, he doesn't have any space-time manipulation abilities, so this won't have much of an impact on Obito.

Therefore, his biggest vision is to strengthen Nagato to a limited extent, making Nagato a target to constantly fight with Hidezawa.

After all, he had suffered quite a few losses at Xiuze's hands, and he was starting to lose his composure.

"How are you feeling, Nagato?"

Inside a secluded basement in Kirigakure, Konan looked at Nagato and asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, I've recovered, I'm fine."

Nagato nodded; although his face was still a little pale, he was indeed much better now.

He glanced around at his surroundings and suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"That black pitcher plant seems to be very familiar with Kirigakure, bypassing all the barriers and bringing us in silently."

"And you've chosen such a suitable position for us. What kind of role do you think this guy will play in Kirigakure?"

"I'm afraid things won't be simple."

Konan's words were concise, as she had never trusted Black Zetsu or Obito; everything they did was questionable.

Moreover, given the current situation, it's hard not to have a peculiar feeling that this is perhaps a situation that will force them to "fight desperately".

"Perhaps they already have information about Shihara Hidezawa, and that guy might already be in Kirigakure."

"That's very possible. I heard Kakuzu say that they're here to track down Obito Uchiha."

Nagato nodded, then suddenly cast a soundproof barrier before speaking in a low voice.

"So, assuming the information is correct, and I have always suspected that the person who called himself Uchiha Madara was Uchiha Obito."

"So, what role do they play, hidden in the mist?"

"this"

Xiao Nan frowned upon hearing this; after all, this was a bit beyond her scope.

"I don't know either, but it's none of our business. However, I think this could be a good opportunity."

After all, our purpose in coming here is to see Shihara Hidezawa. If we can't see him, we probably won't be able to complete our mission.

"That's right, this might be our best and last chance for this operation."

Nagato nodded in agreement, but just then, a loud alarm suddenly blared through the night sky!

The piercing alarm could be heard clearly even when they were hidden in the basement.

At that moment, they all knew that trouble was about to begin.

"You bastard, how could you do this to me?"

Inside Kirigakure, Zabuza looked at his subordinates behind him, as well as the Kirigakure Anbu disguised as his subordinates, and cursed inwardly!

To take action against the Water Shadow, there needs to be a pretext, or in other words, someone needs to ignite the explosive barrel.

As for whether the person who lit the explosive barrel is dead or alive, we'll have to wait and see.

As fate would have it, Zabuza was a perfect fit for the role, both in terms of height and build, and he was also exposed by Hidezawa. Therefore, this "great mission" was naturally entrusted to him!

"This isn't what I expected."

Zabuza originally thought that he would most likely end up in jail, or at worst, be served in a private room by the Anbu, but that was not a big deal.

With his abilities and his subordinates, he was confident that he could escape during the chaos.

Moreover, both Genji and Mei Terumi 'acknowledged' his claim that he wanted to rebel against the Mizukage for the sake of the village, but now that he was being asked to do this directly, he was finding it hard to hold back.

"A bunch of two-faced bastards."

He glanced at the secret agents disguised as his subordinates, who were already poised to strike, and shook his head helplessly.

Master Yuan said these secret agents were there to help him, but even a pig wouldn't believe that!

I might help him, but that would also be a form of surveillance.

"My lord, it's almost time."

Just as he was pondering, a subordinate came to his side and whispered a hint.

"I think we should take action, shouldn't we?"

"Um"

Suppressing the urge to strangle the guy in front of him, Zabuza nodded slightly.

Since things have come to this point, it's time to make a clean break. He turned to look at everyone behind him and then spoke in a low voice.

"Everyone, I think you're all mentally prepared."

The Water Shadow is cruel and incompetent, treating the entire Mist Village as a plaything. Infighting among the higher-ups and the spread of blood mist have left the entire Mist Village riddled with holes!

As members of the Hidden Mist Village, we must do something to save our own people.

Everyone, are you ready?

Tonight, we will change the Mist Village, we will change history!

"As you command!"

At that moment, both the disguised ANBU and Zabuza's original subordinates responded in unison.

Whatever the reason, we need a result tonight.

The moonlight was hazy, and as night fell, the temperature in the water kingdom surrounded by the sea continued to drop.

The fog gradually appeared and grew thicker, and the Hidden Mist Village, bathed in the thick fog, seemed so peaceful tonight.

Meanwhile, Xiuze and the others hid on a hilltop surrounded by mist and sound, quietly watching the village below.

However, while observing the situation below, Xiuze also quietly reached out and pulled Xiyan's hand.

Are you cold?

Xiuze tilted his head and asked in a low voice.

"We're ninjas, after all."

Xi Yan gently tugged at it, but finding she couldn't pull it out, she stopped trying.

"Are you still angry with me?"

Xiuze blinked and asked in a low voice, but Xiyan rolled her eyes.

"I'm not that naive; I can distinguish between what's important and what's urgent."

That's what she said, but Xiyan was a little jealous. Even if Xiuze's choice was right, why didn't you come to find me?

It must be said that ninjas can be quite calm at times, especially those from the Anbu.

If it were someone else, they might have thought, "I was here first."

Unfortunately, Xiuze actually hoped to have such an idea.

"Was the situation urgent at the time, and you weren't far away?"

Xiuze smiled, but her gaze also swept downwards. However, Xiyan, who had been watching Xiuze, noticed this movement instantly.

"What are you looking at!"

Xi Yan muttered a disgruntled rebuke in a low voice, while simultaneously pinching Xiu Ze's hand hard.

Although the voice sounded harmless, Xiuze still obediently withdrew his gaze.

"It's nothing, why are you so excited?"

Shuzawa pursed his lips, but just as he was about to say something more, Jiraiya suddenly leaned closer.

"Hey, you two, at least be mindful of yourselves. This isn't the time for your lovey-dovey moments, and that girl from Sunagakure is watching."

As Jiraiya spoke, he pursed his lips, and his eyebrows twitched incessantly, making him look particularly comical.

Xi Yan was a little embarrassed when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she stopped moving after hearing the second half.

Xiuze raised an eyebrow and smiled indifferently.

"Tonight's mission is quite dangerous, who knows... never mind, I won't jinx it."

In any case, the mission hasn't even started yet, and we're still waiting for Captain Jiraiya's orders.

How could we dare to move without the captain's orders?

"Yes, Captain Jiraiya, we're on standby."

Tenzang has become a complete fan of Xiuzhe; he was originally a blank slate.

Following Kakashi for a few years might have led to things returning to normal, but by sheer coincidence, he encountered someone who also came from the Root organization and had the same abilities as him.

He didn't need to think at all; he just knew who to learn from, and naturally, he gradually became like "Xiuze".

"You two brats are really annoying."

Jiraiya was a little tense, and he glared at Kakashi, whose eyes were like those of a dead fish.

"Hey Kakashi, aren't you his captain? Why don't you do something about it?!"

Kakashi chuckled and grabbed Tenzo by the collar, returning them to their original positions to await orders.

This bizarre scene left Ye Cang, who was standing nearby, speechless.

"Is this Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha?"

At that moment, Jiraiya's reputation plummeted in Yekura's mind, but she quickly shook her head.

"Perhaps it's to relieve pressure on their own people before a major battle."

Yekura thought uncertainly, after all, that Hidezawa guy, although he respected Jiraiya, had done his fair share of things to trick him.

The group was chatting and laughing, but the interior of the Hidden Mist was completely silent.

The dimly lit streets were almost deserted, and the continued search operation had driven many ninjas to the outskirts of the village.

In addition, due to the Blood Mist policy, the nights in the Hidden Mist are desolate and silent for thousands of miles, with only deathly silence as far as the eye can see.

Only the occasional bark of a dog and the cry of a baby give one the feeling that the village still has some vitality.

hum-

However, at that moment, dark figures suddenly appeared on the previously quiet street.

These dark figures, like ghosts, moved silently and swiftly through the thick fog of Kirigakure.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Not long after, a mournful wail suddenly came from the direction of the Water Shadow Building.

The wailing pierced the deathly silence of Kirigakure, followed by curses, roars, explosions, and shrill alarms that filled the sky above Kirigakure!

"Is it finally starting?"

On the mountaintop, Xiuze and the others, who had been joking around, instantly got into character.

As he watched the wisps of fire appear in the mist, Jiraiya's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a low voice.

"It seems we'll have to take action again this time. Let's proceed according to the original plan."

"Gentlemen, I have only one request for this operation."

"More than the success of the mission, I hope everyone can get back safely, so please take care of yourselves, understand?"

"Alright, let's go!"

"This is really troublesome. I never expected to encounter something like this in Kirigakure."

Inside the Hidden Mist Village, Orochimaru and Kakuzu quickly approached the Mizukage Building.

After entering Kirigakure, they did not gather together. After all, they were all powerful ninjas and naturally had their own confidence.

Although they have a meeting point, they don't usually stay together, and they also secretly gather various intelligence in Kirigakure.

Whether it's to allow them to do something or to facilitate their retreat.

Looking at the flames that were spreading throughout Kirigakure, Orochimaru couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"It may be troublesome, but it doesn't really concern us. We just need to focus on doing our own thing."

Kakuzu shrugged indifferently. His mission was complete, and he would likely receive a large bounty as expected.

He's now completely in a "I've got the money, what's there to be afraid of?" state, and he now wholeheartedly agrees with what Xiuze once told him.

"You're only making a pittance in this organization, why are you risking your life?"

Kakuzu now understands that you have to consider who you're risking your life for, and a good boss like Shuzawa is definitely worth risking your life for!

"It doesn't matter much?"

Orochimaru looked at Kakuzu with a half-smile, though he had always felt that there was something wrong with Kakuzu.

After all, he was once one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and the one who came closest to becoming Hokage.

He wasn't as easily fooled as the other members of Akatsuki, because he knew all too well how thorough Konoha's internal security measures and intelligence screening methods were!

Even though Kakuzu is an excellent bounty hunter, he is still not considered a top-tier player in Konoha's eyes.

However, he didn't intend to point it out, as Kakuzu might need it sometime.

"Everything that happened tonight was most likely orchestrated by those people from Konoha. Are you sure it's not very relevant?"

"At worst, it'll just be a war."

Kakuzu shrugged, looked up into the distance, and saw the Mizukage Building already faintly visible in the mist.

"Besides, the person we're recruiting is Shihara Hidezawa. Only when Kirigakure is in chaos will we have a chance to have a proper, face-to-face conversation with him, won't we?"

"But our mission is a bit tricky."

Orochimaru chuckled and said no more. He needed to talk to Shihara Hidezawa; this matter didn't require his help for the time being.

After all, it's just planting a seed; it's enough to let Nagato do it himself. Their mission is to create more chaos and intercept the rest of Konoha!

This is why Orochimaru chose to team up with Kakuzu, instead of teaming up with Juzo Biwa as Nagato originally intended.

If Kakudo really is the mole, many things will become much simpler!

"Oh, it seems someone got here before us."

Just as Orochimaru was pondering, Kakuzu suddenly chuckled, and Orochimaru looked up.

Not far away, Konan and Juzo Biwa appeared, and it wasn't just the two of them.

The figures of the Konoha group were also faintly visible in front of the Mizukage Building, where firelight and thick fog intertwined.

"Hmph, I never expected Zabuza to dare to do something like this."

Meanwhile, near the Water Shadow Building, Pipa Juzo and Konan had already arrived early.

After all, Juzo Biwa originally belonged to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and he was very familiar with everything inside Kirigakure.

With him leading the way, they arrived at the scene of the incident in very little time.

Konan had originally planned to take care of Nagato, but tonight's situation was unusual, so she had no choice but to come along as well.

Looking at the ninjas constantly fighting around him, Juzo Biwa couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Don't think it's that simple; some things aren't just coincidences."

Xiao Nan shook her head. After all, she was already in control of the Rain Country. Even though she was still confused about many things, she had seen quite a lot.

"Any coincidence is likely to be deliberately orchestrated by someone, especially tonight's situation, which is particularly unusual."

"You mean, Zabuza has someone backing him? Those people from Konoha?"

Juzo Biwa raised an eyebrow, but Konan shook her head.

"It's hard to say, and it's hard to comment. I don't know much about Kirigakure, but I do know that there are two 'Kage' in this village."

Whether anyone from Konoha was involved is unknown, but the probability that they used this opportunity to do something is quite high.

"Xiao Nan, so you're here too. But it seems you've really grown a lot."

However, no sooner had Xiao Nan finished speaking than a voice rang out from within the thick fog.

Neither Juzo Biwa nor Konan seemed surprised; they simply raised their heads and looked ahead calmly.

Ninjas of their rank had long since noticed that someone was watching them, but none of them said it outright.

"Hello, Jiraiya-sensei."

Xiao Nan tilted her head, then nodded.

The latest novel is first published here!

She didn't hide her feelings about their relationship; instead, she openly admitted it.

"It seems that Konoha has been very active lately, targeting the Land of Grass and the Hidden Stone Village, and now they've set their sights on the Hidden Mist Village."

When will you take action against Kumogakure or even Sunagakure?

As she spoke, Konan glanced at Yekura beside her, while Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.

"Konoha's operations all have their own principles, unlike your organization which does all sorts of evil!"

Furthermore, Sunagakure is an ally of Konoha, and in the future, we will only have more friendly exchanges and become closer to each other.

"Yeah?"

Konan looked at Jiraiya expressionlessly, but Jiraiya didn't want to waste words with her.

"Where's Orochimaru? And Nagato? Where are they?"

After hearing Hidezawa's account, Zabuza was basically certain that the person who died was Yahiko.

After all, the Rinnegan belongs to Nagato, and Shusawa has emphasized more than once that the one he was fighting was a corpse puppet, and a guy with orange hair.

With such clear information, Jiraiya naturally understood, but he was too eager to know what exactly happened back then.

"If you want information, then find a way to get it yourself."

Konan remained expressionless, but she was certain that Nagato's information had been exposed.

"As for Orochimaru, didn't he arrive?"

"This Water Shadow Building is really small inside."

While tensions were high outside, inside the Shuiying Building, Xiuze seemed quite relaxed as he explored the interior.

Even though countless ninjas were lying on the ground, this place still looked much better than the outside.

Hidezawa's mission was actually very clear: to find the Fourth Mizukage and Obito Uchiha!

"However, without the Byakugan, how can we force Obito Uchiha to use it?"

In fact, Xiuze is also facing some problems, one of which is Uchiha Obito.

He remembered that the one who saw through Obito Uchiha was the blue one with the Byakugan.

Obito Uchiha was clearly aware of this threat, and therefore never allowed this guy to get really close.

Furthermore, the entire Water Shadow Building is protected by various barriers to prevent being exposed, otherwise they would probably have been exposed long ago.

"It seems the only option left is to use some powerful, high-impact methods."

Xiuze sighed. He didn't really want to make things that big, but the situation didn't allow it.

Since that's the case, he has no choice but to resort to the most brutal method!

boom--

Just as Xiuze was pondering, he suddenly noticed a violent explosion outside the Shuiying Building.

The roar seemed to echo throughout the entire Misty Shadow, and even the sturdy Water Shadow Building swayed constantly at this moment.

Through the windows of the Mizukage Building, Hidezawa could see two enormous monsters appearing outside, and an even fiercer battle erupted at that moment!

"That's really intense, so I..."

Xiuze's chakra slightly condensed, but at that moment his body suddenly trembled, and an inexplicable tearing force attacked from behind.

"Kamui?"

This familiar feeling immediately made Xiuzhe realize what was going on; unsurprisingly, it was Uchiha Obito who had made his move.

However, Shuzawa reacted quickly. Kamui's suction force was indeed powerful, but his LV11 physical fitness allowed him to maintain some control.

With a swift movement, he instantly broke free from the gravitational pull, then turned his gaze to Obito, who appeared as if from nowhere.

"It really is you, Uchiha Obito."

Xiuze looked calmly at the person in front of him, and even a smile appeared on his lips.

"I've always wondered what role you'd play in this village, and now it all seems clear."

"snort!"

Obito snorted coldly, seemingly having no room for further words with Shuzawa, and instantly swung the black stick in his hand, smashing it fiercely towards Shuzawa.

His mood was extremely bad and complicated, and he felt his face was burning.

Just over ten minutes ago, he confidently told Black Zetsu that Hidezawa would never find him and would never dare to harm the Mizukage in Kirigakure.

Then, a rebellion broke out in the village, and this guy came knocking on the door. All of this made it hard for Obito to think that this was an accident!

"How does that bastard know me so well?"

Obito roared inwardly, and with a gust of wind, he swung the black staff in his hand, imbued with Yin-Yang Release, fiercely toward Hidezawa.

In just a moment, his expression turned even more grim.

"Seriously, how come your physical skills are so bad?"

Xiuze simply pulled out a kunai, dodging and dealing with his attacks while even looking at him with a mocking expression.

"I noticed this problem before, and I thought I was mistaken, but now it seems to be true. I can't help but have a question for you."

"Are you really an Uchiha?"

Is he really an Uchiha?

Obito tried his best to control his emotions and kept attacking Shusawa, but he was still very careful because his Kamui had an opening, and he had to be extremely cautious.

"Speaking of which, you're a pathetic guy."

Xiuze dodged casually while speaking nonchalantly.

"First, you arrogantly confine yourself to a small world, which is the small world of your Sharingan."

Then they loudly proclaim that it's all the world's fault, that they want to take revenge on the world, and then turn on the people who were once the best to them.

I've heard some interesting stories from Kakashi, and I'm curious, how does Kushina-senpai's rice ball taste?

"Shut up!"

Obito roared and swung his black staff again, but this time Hideaki seemed to be more serious.

His speed was dazzling; in the blink of an eye, he had dodged the black stick and was about to strike Obito's heart with the kunai in his hand!

"cut!"

Obito cursed under his breath, but with no other choice, he immediately flashed and forced himself into Kamui.

"Their movements were not standardized and they were too slow. I'm very disappointed."

Xiuze didn't seem to care when he saw that he had missed his target. Instead, he sighed and shook his head.

"All you can do is stay hidden in your own little world for the rest of your life, but that suits you perfectly, after all..."

Xiuze casually tossed the kunai into the air, not even bothering to pretend, and directly clasped his hands together, causing the vast chakra within his body to surge.

"Your space is a sewer, and you are a rat hiding in the sewer."

"You'll only ever live in a stinking ditch; you'll never enjoy the sunshine in your entire life!"

Before he could finish speaking, countless vines rose up and pierced straight through the interior of the Water Shadow Building.

Seeing this, Obito was slightly taken aback. The next moment, he seemed to realize something and rushed towards Shusawa without saying a word!

hum-

However, Obito missed completely, and now the object appeared behind him.

bang——

Xiuze kicked out and struck Obito Uchiha hard in the lower back, sending the guy crashing into the wall!

"Huh? It's actually the real body. What a pity."

Xiuze blinked. He needed to carefully sense to figure out when Obito Uchiha was real and when he was fake.

The opportunity to fight is fleeting, so sometimes he is not sure whether it is true or false, but he doesn't care.

Obito Uchiha flipped over and jumped up, then quickly formed hand seals. He was genuinely anxious now because he had seen through Hidezawa's thoughts.

That bastard is trying to take down the Water Shadow Building again!

"Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!"

The Fire Release and Kamui's distorted space momentarily combined, and a dense storm of flames instantly swept towards Hidezawa.

"Using Fire Release in the Land of Water?"

Xiuze raised an eyebrow and simply raised one hand to complete the hand seal.

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

It must be said that using Water Release techniques within the Land of Water significantly reduces energy consumption and enhances the power of Water Release techniques.

A huge and thick wall of water appeared directly in front of Shusawa, completely blocking Obito's attack!

And

hum-

In the instant that water and fire mingled and water vapor rose, a golden light appeared behind Obito without him noticing, and in his hand was a blue chakra sphere!

"Rasengan!"

Boom—

A shockwave erupted from inside the Water Shadow Building, instantly engulfing all the surrounding offices!

The violent tremors caused almost all the windows in the surrounding offices to shatter suddenly, with countless shards of glass falling from the sky!

Click, click…

Not only that, cracks kept appearing on the four walls, and when Xiuzawa got up, Uchiha Obito had already disappeared from the spot.

The guy was clutching his chest, panting heavily. His chest had collapsed, and his mask was covered in blood!

"You dodged really fast. I have to say your technique is quite interesting."

Xiuze didn't seem to care. He shook his head and looked calmly at Uchiha Obito, who in turn looked up and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Why...how did you know?"

Why?

Xiuze tilted his head. "Do you mean to tell me I've watched anime?"

"You think you're smart, but in fact you're just an idiot. I've seen your report, and it's said that your IQ assessment, or 'wisdom,' is only two."

No matter what an idiot like you does, I can guess the gist of it. Your aim in attacking the Fourth Hokage and his wife was revenge.

"Then how could you possibly let go of Kirigakure, the village that sealed the Three-Tails for Rin Nohara and forced her to choose death at Kakashi's hands?"

As he spoke, Xiuze clasped his hands together again, and the sarcasm on his face became even more pronounced.

"To deal with the Fourth Hokage, we only need to seize one opportunity, since he is only one person, while Kirigakure is a huge village."

"You idiot, you probably wouldn't be thinking about finding the real culprit and the mastermind, you'd only be thinking about targeting the whole village. So what would be the best thing to cause the greatest harm to the village?"

"Policy?"

At this moment, Obito Uchiha's intelligence returned, or rather, this was what Black Zetsu had told him back then!

"Is it only through policy that devastating destruction can be inflicted on a village silently and without warning?"

"That's right."

Xiuze nodded; his chakra was ready.

"Although I don't know how you, an idiot, came up with this idea, look at this insane Blood Mist policy, look at this series of measures that seem to be aimed at completely destroying the Mist Village."

It's hard not to wonder who's behind this, and if you investigate the issuers of these policies carefully, it's actually not that hard to pinpoint them.

I've told you, you'll always be nothing more than a rat hiding in a ditch; you're not worthy to fight me!

Xiuze's words really broke Obito Uchiha's defenses!

First, they openly called him an idiot, then said he lacked intelligence, and then gradually revealed his plan.

All of this was really making him lose his composure!

Could it be that the Uchiha clan's eternal enemies will always be these damned Senju clan members?

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

But Xiuze ignored him completely. With the surge of chakra, the previously stagnant vines burst forth again.

They intertwined and entangled with each other, and at that moment the entire Water Shadow Building began to sway wildly.

boom--

The moment all the vines intertwined, a towering tree burst forth from the ground inside the Water Shadow Building!

It crashed through the dome of the Water Shadow Building and shot straight into the sky.

"Elder, shouldn't we do something?"

As Kirigakure descended into chaos, Mei Terumi and Genshi stood atop a tall tower, overlooking the entire village.

Looking at the chaos below, Mei Terumi felt a pang of pity; after all, they were all ninjas from the same village.

She finds it hard to accept that such things lead to infighting!

"There's nothing we can do now that things have come to this."

Master Yuan shook his head, then carefully examined Mei Ming and began to speak.

"And let's not forget, those who did these things were Konoha and Sunagakure, as well as traitors like Zabuza!"

"."

Mei Terumi pursed her lips, and after a long while she nodded gently, but she couldn't help but ask again.

"If everything is as those people in Konoha say, then..."

"They are the heroes we invited to join Zabuza in saving Kirigakure."

Master Yuan didn't even blink before speaking.

"Zabuza will be promoted to head of the Anbu, and Kirigakure and Konoha will begin formal talks to seek opportunities for cooperation and explore the path to peace."

Mei Terumi was completely speechless. Although she knew that this was the best way to handle things, she still felt that it was too hypocritical.

"Ming, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

The master seemed to see through Terumi Mei's thoughts, and he sighed and spoke.

"But that's reality. Now I need to teach you a lesson: when you really want to govern a village, you need to change your mindset."

Not all good people can be friends, and not all enemies need to be enemies. We need to flexibly adjust our moral bottom line according to the interests of the village.

Because the village is the most important thing, everything must be done with the village in mind. The Fourth Mizukage has already angered the people, and we need a way to remove him, or at least remind him.

"I understand, Elder."

Mei Terumi nodded with some difficulty, and after a while she suddenly asked.

"I'm just curious, where are the limits of this flexible moral compass? And, could what we're doing constitute rebellion?"

"Measures? There are no measures. To succeed, you have to be a moral black hole, because for the sake of the village, you will always be on the opposite side of a group of people."

When Master Yuan heard this question, he sighed, but he quickly recovered.

"As for rebellion, who said that? Only defeat constitutes rebellion, and we haven't lost yet, we haven't even participated in it!"

"."

Mei Terumi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but at that moment Ao had already run over.

"Elder, the emergency evacuation plan has been activated, and everyone has begun to take cover."

"That's good."

Master Yuan nodded. He could abandon some of the ninjas who followed the Mizukage, but that didn't mean he could ignore the lives and deaths of ordinary people.

At the very least, evacuating them is the fundamental way to preserve the spark of hope in Kirigakure!

"So, what about us?"

Master Yuan was about to say something when suddenly the earth shook violently, followed by a loud rumble and a thick cloud of smoke.

Beside the Water Shadow Building, two enormous structures have already appeared!

"Jiraiya, Orochimaru"

Master Yuan's face darkened. He was heartbroken because who knew how much damage this battle would cause to Wuyin!

In reality, Kirigakure didn't have much money. Even though its fishery resources were abundant, it couldn't sell them after closing itself off from the world. However, it had no worries about food and drink if it consumed them internally.

The problem is that they simply can't get enough money to replenish other resources, which is one of the reasons he's willing to talk to Konoha.

"My lord, look!"

However, just as he was watching the two behemoths fighting and causing immense pain as the surrounding area was destroyed and killed, Qing suddenly shouted.

Following the direction Qing pointed, Yuan Shi suddenly felt his heart stop, because he saw the Water Shadow Building begin to collapse!

And a huge tree burst out amidst the continuous roar!

"Wood Release."

Yuan Shi stared blankly at everything, but soon he couldn't help but roar inwardly!

Damn it, burning down the Tsuchikage Building wasn't enough for you, you even went after the Mizukage Building?

Yuan Shi had also heard some things about the Tsuchikage Building, but he always felt that something was amiss, and that it might be a setup to frame Obito Uchiha.

What made his heart tremble even more was that Qing spoke again at this moment!

"My lord, the barrier has failed! I saw it! I saw it!"

"The Fourth Mizukage was indeed controlled by genjutsu!"
