Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 87 Target: Loess Plateau (10,000 words, please subscribe)

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Rain!"

The battle between Shusawa and Kakuzu caused widespread turmoil, even affecting Shisui and Sasori.

However, the two had a long-standing grudge, and although they were caught in the crossfire, they were fighting each other again in the next moment.

Seeing the black iron sand transform into thousands of needles, Shisui snorted and instead of retreating, advanced rapidly towards Sasori once again.

Moreover, a green chakra was swirling around him. Although he dared not activate Susanoo on a large scale, he was willing to use Susanoo to protect himself.

"However, Susanoo puts a tremendous strain on the eyes."

He muttered the words to himself, and at the same time, he quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

A giant dragon formed from raging flames surged toward the Third Kazekage!

Ding, ding, ding—

Just then, the iron sand senbon pierced through the flames and shot over, its piercing sound echoing in his ears.

With Susanoo's protection, he was not injured. Enduring the discomfort in his eyes, he sped forward.

The best way to deal with a puppeteer is to get close, otherwise you'll be in big trouble if you get entangled by those puppets!

"childish."

Seeing Shisui's actions, Sasori knew exactly what the guy was thinking. He immediately controlled the Third Kazekage to leap into the air with him.

Just as he was about to take off, he noticed that Shisui's speed seemed to have increased considerably!

That bizarre teleportation technique arrived at his side almost instantly, even faster than Shisui's own fire-style flight technique.

"Ugh, what a hassle."

Scorpion's reaction was extremely fast. Even though he was a puppeteer, his close combat ability could not be said to be weak. His wrist instantly opened up, and a sharp blade suddenly appeared in his hand.

hum-

Without the slightest hesitation, he slashed directly at Shisui!

"Um?"

But when he cut it with the sword, he immediately realized that something was wrong. It seemed that he had not hit the real body!

At that moment, Scorpion suddenly noticed that two more figures of Shisui had appeared beside him. Their movements were almost identical, and there was no discernible difference between them.

Moreover, the aura emanating from them all seemed to belong to real people, making it impossible to easily distinguish who was the true form!

"Illusion? Shadow clones? Or simply speed?"

Unfortunately, Scorpion couldn't get the answer at this time. What surprised him was that he was surrounded in the blink of an eye!

Ahead of him were raging flames, while to his left, right, and behind him were the figures of still water. Such a bizarre scene made it difficult for Sasori to make a judgment for a moment.

"Magnetic Release: Magnetic Array Wall!"

Since it was difficult to judge, he decided to focus on defense. Without hesitation, Scorpion instantly formed a defensive barrier around himself with black iron!

"What a turtle-like creature."

Shisui's short sword struck the defense formed by the black sand iron hard, and he felt his hands go numb.

It can only be said that he is indeed the Third Kazekage. His Magnet Release technique is truly helpless. What frustrates him the most is that Sasori is not afraid of genjutsu.

He had tried to make eye contact with Scorpion several times, but the guy hadn't fallen for it even once.

The illusions of the Kaleidoscope are very powerful. Even if he didn't use the power of his own eye technique "Kotoamatsukami", it wouldn't be completely ineffective, right?

Thinking of this, Shisui quickly distanced himself from the opponent. It was obviously not a solution to continue fighting like this, and he had to make some changes!

"Kid, it seems there's no better way."

Sasori naturally noticed that Shisui had created distance, and he immediately emerged from under the protection of Magnet Release.

"Although you're troublesome, your strength is clearly not enough. So, it's my turn!"

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Boundary Technique!

As he spoke, countless iron filings emerged from the Third Kazekage's body, instantly forming what appeared to be a giant cage.

These iron filings transformed into sharp blades, frantically piercing and surrounding the area, forcing even Zhi Shui to dodge quickly.

"Go to hell!"

As Shisui dodged, the Third Kazekage's puppet suddenly flew closer along the iron sand, seemingly about to reach Shisui in an instant.

Seeing this, Shisui no longer hesitated. His eyes were not on the Third Kazekage at all, but on Sasori not far away!

"Now."

With a low shout from Shisui, the Susanoo protecting him suddenly grew larger!

At this moment, chakra turned into bones, flesh and meridians, intertwining with each other. His eyes seemed to be under tremendous pressure, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corners of his eyes.

However, his Susanoo also transformed into its second stage at this moment, a giant of chakra letting out a roar.

"Susanoo, Ninety-Nine!"

With a furious roar, Shisui's Susanoo opened its chest armor under his control, and countless chakra formed a dense rain of senbon needles that blasted straight at Sasori!

"What kind of move is this now?"

Scorpion's expression completely changed when he saw this move; he seemed to sense that this move could annihilate him completely!

Not only did the power of this technique make him feel terrified, but most importantly, such intensive attacks could definitely cover his power core.

This is the key to his ability to move like a human even though his whole body has been turned into a puppet, and it is also his biggest secret!

wow——

In an instant, all the mechanisms on Sasori's body dissipated, and countless hidden weapons flew towards the Thousand Needles formed from chakra.

At the same time, the puppet mechanism on his body changed, and all the defensive mechanisms covered his core area.

Furthermore, the Third Kazekage, who had originally launched the attack, also retreated quickly at the first moment. Within the 'Sand Iron Boundary Law,' the Third Kazekage's mobility was almost at its maximum.

boom--

Just when they were in the most tense moment, a sudden, ear-piercing loud noise erupted.

The fierce flames, accompanied by violent shaking, made them momentarily unsteady on their feet, and the ground beneath their feet cracked and turned upside down.

A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, violently spread outwards, causing many trees in the distance that had not yet been affected to collapse.

"What's going on?"

Shisui and Sasori are now unable to continue fighting; the intense shockwaves make it impossible for them to concentrate on the battle.

Turning their heads to look into the distance, they were both stunned.

Because of the red light shooting into the sky in the distance, it appeared from afar that the ground had sunk considerably.

Thick smoke continued to rise, making everything around appear extremely blurry, creating a scene that resembled hell.

Faintly, one could see a giant dragon, its body engulfed in flames, slowly rising from the ground, exuding boundless power!

This situation made a thought pop into their minds involuntarily.

"This is the technique that pacified the chaotic world..."

.........

"Is this the space inside Obito's Kaleidoscope?"

Inside the Kamui dimension, Obito was launching a fierce attack on Kakashi, while Kakashi dodged and observed everything around him.

Obito didn't seem to have any intention of fighting him outside; the moment they made contact, he was directly sucked in by Obito.

In fact, Kakashi himself didn't have much of a desire to resist; a relatively small, enclosed environment was more suitable for their conversations.

"Obito, calm down."

Kakashi swiftly dodged Obito's attacks, while simultaneously speaking in a low voice.

"Stop being so stubborn. Continuing like this is pointless and will lead nowhere. Turn back!"

"Shut up! I'm not here to listen to your lectures, and you have no right to lecture me, you piece of trash!"

Obito completely ignored Kakashi's words and attacked even faster and more ruthlessly.

Kakashi retreated several steps in an instant, which prompted Obito to reveal a mocking smile.

"You really have become a piece of trash. Where is that once invincible genius? Is he dead?"

Faced with Obito's questioning, Kakashi was at a loss for words.

Ding--

Ding--

Ding--

For a moment, the only sound in the entire Shenwei space was the sharp metallic clanging sound caused by the kunai and the black stick colliding with each other.

Both sides have Mangekyō Sharingan, and each has only one, so their insight is basically the same.

Kakashi was relatively restrained, and he even thought of trying to persuade him, but Obito Uchiha showed no empathy whatsoever, and he was extremely ruthless when he attacked!

"What exactly do you want to do, Obito?"

After another entanglement, Kakashi seized the opportunity the moment Obito's black staff swept across.

His left hand swiftly reached out and precisely grabbed Obito Uchiha's hand, but his right hand, instead of immediately following with its kunai, questioned him in a low voice.

"You've already made so many mistakes, please stop being so stubborn!"

"I was wrong?"

Obito was still wearing a mask, but the Sharingan that was exposed revealed a hint of disdain.

"Stop joking! You really are just an idiot, an idiot who doesn't understand anything!"

Uchiha Obito shook his left hand hard, and an iron chain fell from his sleeve in an instant. He pulled the chain without hesitation and smashed it towards Kakashi.

"hateful."

Kakashi cursed under his breath, and his kunai immediately followed, blocking the chain at the last second. However, the force of the chain's swing knocked the kunai out of his hand.

"May I borrow your hand?"

Obito Uchiha snorted coldly, and at the same time, his left hand blocked Kakashi's right hand and he began to form hand seals.

"Didn't you want to know what I'm going to do? I know you want to get information out of me, but I don't care, and I've already told you!"

You told me earlier?

Kakashi listened to Obito's words and was thinking, but his hands didn't stop moving.

He immediately released Obito's right hand, and at the same time, a kunai appeared in his hand. This time, he showed no mercy and stabbed it directly at Obito.

"This is finally getting interesting, instead of that useless piece of trash who couldn't even fight back!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Obito couldn't help but sneer again. At this time, the first seal had been formed.

He twisted his body and swung the black stick in his right hand at the kunai.

Ding--

Another piercing, sharp sound rang out, and Obito suddenly chuckled coldly and whispered.

"I'll tell you again, you idiot, what I'm going to do is shatter this false world!"

All the suffering is caused by this world, whether it is the war or Lin’s death, it is all caused by this world.

This world is like hell. Even breathing feels difficult here. What I need to do is break it all. Do you understand now?

break in

This world?

Kakashi was momentarily stunned; he hadn't expected Obito to be serious.

But what should he do?

However, Obito didn't give him much time to think. Taking advantage of Kakashi's momentary lapse in concentration, he punched him hard in the face!

"You dare to daydream at a time like this? Do you really think I won't kill you?"

"Waaah"

Kakashi winced in pain, and his body slightly lost its balance, causing him to fall to one side.

At that very moment, another seal was completed by Obito!

"This can't go on."

Kakashi braced himself on the ground with one hand and kicked Obito in the process.

However, Obito Uchiha was much more focused than Kakashi, and easily dodged the attack.

Kakashi immediately shot the kunai in his hand towards Uchiha Obito, but the black stick in Obito's hand instantly knocked the kunai away, and at the same time he followed up.

hum-

The black stick swept across with a gust of wind, and Kakashi jumped up, but Obito was too close to him, and his hand was once again caught by Obito!

"Obito, we can change this world, don't be foolish anymore."

Watching Obito complete the last hand seal with his help, Kakashi felt both helpless and a sense of crisis. He quickly whispered a word of advice.

"Change?"

Obito snorted coldly, and his voice became unusually cold.

"There's no point in changing this world!"

Obito's black staff swept across again, but Kakashi immediately leaped up to avoid it.

The kunai that had been knocked away in the air was now falling rapidly. Kakashi saw the trajectory of the kunai, turned his body, and kicked the kunai hard!

Kakashi changed the direction of the kunai, and it flew rapidly towards Obito Uchiha.

"childish."

As Obito leaped up to avoid the kunai, his chakra surged, and the hand seals he had just completed were instantly released.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The howling flames slammed fiercely towards Kakashi, and upon seeing this, Kakashi immediately formed hand seals in mid-air.

Seeing this, Obito Uchiha immediately wanted to give chase. Since he was determined to fight Kakashi, he might as well warm up properly!

As for the question Black Zetsu asked him to examine Kakashi's eyes, he had long forgotten about it.

He harbors resentment and has people he can't let go of; now he just wants to do it his own way!

"Obito, wait a minute, it seems there's something going on outside."

Just as he was about to press his advantage, a White Zetsu attached to him suddenly spoke up.

"Um?"

Obito stopped in annoyance. He was very unhappy about being interrupted.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure, but it must be a big problem."

The white Zetsu on his body was also somewhat confused. After all, this was another dimension, and it was already good enough that they could make contact. He didn't know what was happening outside.

"But I heard the guy in black is in a hurry, so something big must have happened."

"Is that so?"

Obito looked at the earthen wall carved with a dog's head that had been summoned because he hadn't intervened. He had a puzzled look in his eyes.

In the end, he shook his head. Since that was the case, he might as well go out and take a look. This battle was meaningless anyway.

He should also go and see what's going on outside, after all, there's another kaleidoscope he's interested in.

And that brat from the Senju clan who caused him to suffer repeated losses!

Thinking of this, he looked at Kakashi again. He had to clean up the 'trash' inside before leaving!

With a sudden burst of speed, Obito charged straight ahead, while Kakashi, who had just dodged Obito's fire jutsu, narrowed his eyes upon seeing Obito approaching from the flank.

"it's over!"

Obito locked onto Kakashi, and his Sharingan began to spin rapidly. At that moment, Kakashi swung his kunai and charged forward.

hum-

Space began to twist, and Obito's face under the mask suddenly changed slightly.

"This is... a lightning clone?"

Clearly, Kakashi used the earthen wall as cover and then used a lightning clone behind it to deceive himself!

"childish!"

Obito's expression hardened, and he instantly controlled his eyes to look at the real Kakashi. But the problem was that Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan had also locked onto him!

hum-

In an instant, the space became somewhat chaotic, and Kakashi's lightning clone exploded right next to him!

"Damn it!"

A powerful sensation spread throughout his body, and he felt a sudden numbness throughout his entire being.

But at this moment, he and Kakashi appeared in the outside world at the same time, and because of Kakashi, this Kamui space was temporarily locked in a semi-open state!

To avoid trouble, Obito had no choice but to increase the output of the Mangekyou Sharingan, which immediately overwhelmed Kakashi.

After a brief stalemate, he suddenly swayed slightly as if he were about to fall to the ground.

But Obito Uchiha was not happy at all; on the contrary, the expression on his mask became even more unpleasant!

Because he seemed to feel that someone was quietly coming up behind him.

"It seems the battle is temporarily over."

In the forest, Xiuze looked at Kakashi, who had just woken up and seemed a little lost, Shisui, who had a helpless expression, and Yugao and the others who were safe and sound. He couldn't help but nod slightly.

However, after glancing around out of the corner of his eye, he felt that this place should no longer be called a forest.

The huge, still-burning pit and the mess scattered everywhere only vaguely indicate that this place was once a forest.

I have to say that the destructive power of Wood Release is indeed powerful, especially when combined with the power of [Cursed Seal]!

The duration of the LV6 [Curse Seal] increases, and its power also increases further. It also achieves a remarkable effect, reaching the level of LV5 Yin Release.

With this double blessing, his wooden dragon was able to unleash such power!

"That impact is probably no weaker than a strike from a third-stage Susanoo, right?"

The third stage Susanoo is already a complete attacker and defender. Even the fourth stage Susanoo may not be able to compare with it in terms of attack and defense!

Because the third stage of Susanoo is covered in armor and weapons, but it loses its mobility due to the absence of legs, it becomes a fortress.

The fourth stage lacks these elements, or rather, this portion of chakra becomes the key to transforming the Susanoo structure and granting it mobility.

This will also reduce Susanoo's offensive and defensive capabilities to some extent, but it will make it more suitable for combat.

"It's a pity that Shisui didn't use the third stage of Susanoo, and I can't find a comparable one right now, but the attack power is still quite good."

Shuzawa was quite satisfied with the damage he had caused, even though it put a heavy burden on his chakra consumption, but he recovered quickly!

"Okay, it's over."

Shisui nodded. There was still blood at the corner of his eye. Xiyan wanted to help him treat it, but he ultimately refused.

After all, his condition couldn't be fixed with medical ninjutsu, and he wasn't in a good mood either.

"It's a pity that Scorpion got away. I couldn't stop him. I found that he doesn't seem to be afraid of my illusions."

"It's normal that guy isn't afraid of illusions, after all, his whole body has probably been transformed into a puppet."

Xiuze was not surprised to hear this. Scorpion, who was driven by the 'Life Core', had prosthetic eyes, so it would be really difficult to deal with him through illusion magic.

Perhaps only sound illusions or illusions that directly affect the mind are worth trying.

"You guys should know this better than I do; it seems Obito has run away."

Kakashi shook his head and sighed helplessly. Letting Obito escape once again was truly painful for him.

Obito's high-intensity Kaleidoscope attack was too much for him to handle, and he only woke up after hearing that Shuzawa had rushed over.

He was certain that Shuzawa would not hold back against Obito; this guy probably wouldn't hold back against anyone, but Obito still managed to escape.

Kakashi felt mostly helpless about the outcome, besides being relieved that Obito hadn't died; he hadn't been able to bring Obito back with him.

"Obito Uchiha does know his clan's secret techniques after all. He escaped using the same method last time. He's a tough guy."

Shisui nodded in agreement. If anyone was truly heartbroken about not killing this villain, it would probably be him.

After all, it was this bastard who caused the Uchiha clan to bear false accusations, and they still can't explain it away!

"Forget it, we'll deal with that guy sooner or later. Let's gather the intelligence now."

Unlike Shisui's resentment and Kakashi's disappointment, Shuzawa was in a very good mood, especially after talking about Obito.

However, he did not say it explicitly, but quickly changed the subject.

"This organization is probably related to Obito Uchiha. It's quite an unexpected surprise. Now we can clarify our next step."

The latest novel is first published here!

"That's right, this organization is indeed not simple, at least that Scorpion is not simple."

Shisui nodded. Even someone as strong as Sasori would join this organization, and the Kakuzu that Shusawa was dealing with was also terrifyingly strong.

Add in Obito Uchiha, and this lineup would be enough to make any ninja village wary.

"Does this organization only harbor rogue ninja?"

Tenzang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked a question, and Yugao nodded in response.

"It's true that Obito Uchiha was a rogue ninja of Konoha and Sasori of the Red Sand was a rogue ninja of Sunagakure, but what about that guy who fought Hidezawa?"

"As expected, it's a rogue ninja from Takigakure."

Xiuze smiled at Xiyan and gave her the answer directly.

"When I fought that guy before, I noticed that some black, tentacle-like things would appear on his body."

At first, I didn't realize it either, but as the fight progressed, it suddenly dawned on me that it seemed to be a local grudge.

What is "Earthly Grudge"?

Tenzo blinked and asked with a curious look. Uchiha Itachi, the newcomer, pondered for a moment before replying.

"Seniors, I seem to have seen this item before when I read about it in a book. It was once a treasure of Longyin Village, but it seems to have been lost long ago."

"That's right, it's precisely because it was lost that it ended up in this guy's hands."

Xiuze nodded and continued.

"And as you all know, Kakuzu is a legend who has been active in the world of bounty hunters for many years, but there is very little specific information about him."

Because everyone he had fought was dead, he couldn't get any more information out. It seems that...

"To protect the secret, on the one hand, to conceal my identity as a rogue ninja, and on the other hand, to protect the information about the Earth Grudge Fear."

Shisui understood completely, and his gaze became somewhat profound.

"It seems to be an organization entirely composed of rogue ninja; what a dangerous organization."

It's quite difficult for rogue ninjas to survive in the ninja world, because they constantly face the ninja village they betrayed, as well as being hunted down by various bounty hunters or organizations.

Even if they escape to other villages, they must always be on guard.

Besides, even if you want to seek refuge in other villages, they might not necessarily accept you!

If there is intelligence, we might consider it. While strength and bloodline are popular, they also have many problems.

Putting aside how others will view you after your defection, how the village will use you is a serious problem.

You might become a bargaining chip in the next round of negotiations, you might become a tool for reproduction, you might even become research material!

Therefore, very few rogue ninja choose to work in other villages; most hide themselves and dare not show their faces.

Or perhaps they should find a hidden organization in the dark world to protect them and thus survive.

This is also why Shusawa did not choose Jun after breaking Danzo's curse seal. Rather than living a life of wandering and constant anxiety, he preferred to be a "Konoha civil servant".

Besides, there are quite a few pretty girls in Konoha.

"Alright, let's not talk about this guy anymore."

Hidezawa didn't seem to intend to spend much time on Kakuzu, and after thinking for a moment, he decisively changed the subject.

"Do you have any other intelligence? What I can confirm for now is that this organization is probably located in a small country, but I don't know exactly where."

"I also learned something about him from my battle with Obito."

Kakashi thought for a moment before he spoke slowly.

"He seems to be holding a grudge about the past, and he keeps muttering something, which I don't quite understand."

Kakashi repeated Obito's words, which were roughly that he believed "the world is false," "it's all the world's fault," and "we must destroy this world," etc.

But after Kakashi finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but look at Hidezawa.

Apart from Itachi Uchiha, the rest of the team had participated in the mission to track down Obito, but even Itachi Uchiha knew some of the details.

Doesn't Obito Uchiha's statement completely confirm Hidezawa's previous guess about him?

"He's really an extreme guy."

Xiu Ze shook his head, seeming a little regretful.

"However, this information alone is still too little, but they can make some bold assumptions."

"Assuming?"

Xiyan blinked and asked curiously.

"So, what do you think he'll do?"

"I think his target is the Tailed Beasts!"

"What?!"

Xiuze's words immediately caused everyone present to show a look of astonishment.

But soon, they suddenly cooled down, because they realized that this didn't seem like something impossible!

"Six or seven years ago, Obito Uchiha was able to control the Nine-Tails. Does that mean he could control the other tailed beasts?"

Xiuze considered his words carefully before speaking softly.

"He kept emphasizing that 'this world is fake,' and that he wanted to 'break this world.' It seems that in his view, the ninja village system and ninjas shouldn't exist, so..."

"He wants to destroy everything, the ninjas, the village?"

Kakashi's face had turned somewhat pale, and Shuzawa nodded, speaking in a heavy tone.

"To do all this, one needs sufficient power. He probably joined the rogue ninja organization because he saw the hatred these rogue ninjas had for the ninja village."

Regardless of their reasons for defecting, they all harbor resentment towards the village. If we can win over these people, they will become valuable fighting forces in the future!

As for the Tailed Beasts, there's no need to elaborate; they're strategic weapons for every village. That's why he chose Konoha six or seven years ago.

"Does he harbor hatred towards Konoha?"

Xi Yan couldn't help but speak up as well.

"I remember you said that he hated the Fourth Hokage for not being able to come to his rescue in time, and that he also hated the village, while Konoha had the Nine-Tails."

Could he use this opportunity to take revenge on the village and the Fourth Hokage, and at the same time capture the Nine-Tails?

"It seems that I was right."

Shisui's gaze hardened even further.

"If it weren't for the Fourth Hokage risking his life to protect the village and sealing the Nine-Tails with his own death, perhaps Obito Uchiha would have succeeded!"

"That damn guy! Why didn't that rock kill him back then?!"

"."

Kakashi opened his mouth as if to say something, but then stopped, and in the end, he couldn't say anything.

Thinking about it carefully, if we had really killed him back then, perhaps none of this would have happened. At least he would still be a hero of Konoha.

"It seems this opportunity is about to change."

Seeing that everyone had accepted this explanation, Xiuze nodded in agreement.

"Now our tasks have to be expanded. In addition to investigating the matter of Kusagakure, we also need to investigate the matter of Uchiha Obito."

At the very least, we need to figure out what this organization is and where it came from.

"Indeed, but how do we do it?"

Tenzo looked at Xiuzhe curiously and asked, while Xiuzhe smiled.

"This organization is undoubtedly employed by Iwagakure. If you've read the report, you'll understand that Iwagakure prefers to employ ninja organizations to handle things that are inconvenient for them to do themselves."

This time, we're also dealing with Iwagakure. So, only by capturing a sufficiently influential member of Iwagakure can we obtain more intelligence.

"Then, this person is naturally yellow earth."

"."

Hearing Xiu Ze's words, everyone present couldn't help swallowing.

This guy just captured the Fourth Raikage last time, right?

Now, they've set their sights on the son of the Third Tsuchikage.

Are you really not afraid of chaos in the ninja world?

But unfortunately, it seems they can only grab at the yellow soil.

"Damn it!"

In the Land of Grass, in a hidden cave, Obito's figure appeared swayingly, but his expression under the mask looked particularly ugly.

"That damn brat!"

"Alright, Obito."

Just then, a pitcher plant sprouted from the ground beside him. Seeing Obito's seemingly exasperated state, Black Zetsu helplessly comforted him.

"At least they're all back, but you really should think about Kakashi's eye."

"snort……"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he did, Obito couldn't hold it in anymore.

Kakashi tricked him with his Lightning Clone at the last moment, which really cost him a lot of trouble!

Not only that, this guy relied on the eye he gave him to severely defeat him.

When he wanted to throw him out, he actually used that eye to fight back against him, and for a moment, the space channel was strangely blocked!

And it was at this moment that that bastard, Shihara Hidezawa, arrived.

"Don't be upset, it was yours to begin with."

Seeing that Obito didn't say anything, Black Zetsu shook his head and sighed.

"You should understand now just how much that missing eye affects you, right?"

Moreover, it seems that Shihara Hidezawa is hiding something, otherwise…

"Hmm, a very peculiar power. That white guy was forced out and killed by him."

Obito nodded. The moment Hidezawa appeared, Obito was really helpless. His whole body was numb from the electric current of the lightning clone.

If it weren't for the fact that half of his body was a White Zetsu, allowing him to try and control that half to forcibly turn around, he would have been fine.

Otherwise, Xiuze would have shot right through his heart!

When Xiu Ze attacked him, he clearly felt a special force pouring into his body.

In the burst of this power, a White Zetsu that had been attached to him was inexplicably forced out!

Fortunately, the appearance of White Zetsu seemed to have stunned Shihara Hidezawa, which gave him the opportunity to quickly re-enter the Kamui dimension.

However, even that White Zetsu had its neck snapped by Shihara Hidezawa.

"However, won't this have any consequences?"

Obito frowned, then asked in a low voice.

"I remember Madara Uchiha saying that those white guys were cultivated using Hashirama Senju's cells, and this guy was captured."

You're only realizing the trouble now?

Black Zetsu looked at Obito speechlessly, and after a while he shook his head.

"Your Wood Release has already been exposed, so being captured by them as a White Zetsu isn't that much of a problem anymore. Besides, there are only two most likely scenarios now?"

"How so?"

Obito didn't understand, so Black Zetsu had to explain patiently.

"One possibility is that Shihara Hidezawa would hand it over to Konoha, and Konoha would worry about whether this kind of thing could be copied, which would cause you even more trouble."

Alternatively, Shihara Hidezawa did not hand it over, and he had his reasons. After all, he was a member of the Senju clan, and it was only natural for him to keep it.

Moreover, even if he doesn't need the transplant at all, since he already possesses such an ability, he can still research more things through White Zetsu.

This might make him stronger, the next time you encounter him.

Damn it, is there nothing good at all?

After hearing these words, Obito didn't want to speak anymore. He found that anything related to Shihara Hidezawa seemed to become exceptionally unlucky and terrible.

And, he always seems to be the one who is unlucky and in trouble?

Thinking back, it seems that Madara Uchiha didn't get the better of Hashirama Senju either.

Is this also fate?

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. No matter what that guy does, we'll find a way later."

Obito shook his head violently, trying to shake off this bad luck.

"By the way, what about Sasori and Kakuzu? Are they still alive?"

"They're all alive; they escaped."

Black Zetsu nodded. He hesitated for a moment, but after a moment of struggle, he finally spoke.

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

"What's wrong?"

"Shihara Hidezawa has already linked you with the Akatsuki organization."

"This isn't surprising, but it doesn't prove anything. Who knows if I came here with my own reasons?"

"However, he had already concluded that this was the case, and had also roughly determined the location of some Akatsuki organizations."

"."

"He directly ruled out the five great nations and focused on the surrounding smaller countries. Obito, this situation is troublesome."

"."

In a forest in the Land of Grass, Sasori and Kakuzu, looking disheveled, ran into each other unexpectedly.

Seeing their teammates on the other side suffering such a terrible fate, the two of them fell silent involuntarily.

Scorpion looked terrible; his body was tattered and torn, and he was missing an arm.

However, he wasn't interrupted; rather, he was defending against Shisui's attack when he was caught in the crossfire of Shuzawa's attack.

Around that time, he had already decided to run away, so after retrieving the Third Kazekage, he left without paying attention to anything else.

As for Kakuzu, he was in a terrible state; his trench coat was gone, and he had extensive burns all over his body.

There were even some strange collapses on his body, and the masks behind him were now shattered, leaving only one!

Such a miserable situation was something neither of them had ever seen in each other.

Moreover, they didn't think about each other at all when they ran away, which made them somewhat awkward when they met again.

"Looks like you've run away too."

After a long while, Sasori finally spoke softly, while Kakuzu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, looks like you're in the same boat. We'll need more money for this mission!"

"It definitely costs more."

Scorpion nodded, and seeing that Kaguya wasn't going to bring up the issue, he decided not to waste any more words.

"We've lost so many puppets, we really need a lot of money to make up for it."

"Um"

Kakuzu nodded. Money was his greatest love; he would risk his life for it.

"Do you have any intelligence this time?"

"That kid's kaleidoscope is really strong; it won't be easy to deal with, and his methods are far more advanced than I imagined."

Sasori couldn't continue speaking halfway through his sentence; his mind was filled with images of Shisui, that towering chakra giant.

That thing that combined defense and offense seemed to be more effective than his puppet, which made him extremely unhappy.

"And you, do you have any information?"

"Shihara Hidezawa, or rather, Senju Hidezawa."

Kakuzu pursed his lips and said helplessly.

"Strong, difficult to deal with. The combination of Flying Thunder God and Wood Release leaves me helpless. At least for now, I can't think of any way to counter it."

At this point, Kakuzu didn't want to say anything more, and subconsciously touched a bag at his waist.

Coincidentally, at this very moment, some images also flashed through his mind.

At that time, he had just been attacked by a wooden dragon burning with flames, and even though he tried his best to dodge, he was already on the verge of death.

However, at that moment, Xiuze's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, shot a kunai beside him, and spoke silently.

As a powerful ninja, Kakuzu naturally understood lip reading, and he instantly knew what Hidezawa meant.

"I heard you're a bounty hunter ninja. There's no future in an organization like that; how much do you even make a month?"

"With so little money, why are you risking your life?"

"And if you want to make money, you have to work yourself to death taking on missions. Is it really worth it to be a slave to this lousy organization?"

"We have ready-made food for you, a fixed amount of 300,000 taels every month, and all you have to do is provide us with information."

"If you agree, pick up the kunai and leave on your own; if you don't agree, I'll send you away."

"Now you make your choice."
