Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 225 A Reprimand!

Mountain cemetery.

Obito Uchiha was still worried: "Shide-sensei, are Rin and the others really okay?"

"Kakashi is such a loser!"

Hoshino looked at Obito Uchiha and said, "Obito, you're getting a little arrogant!"

Obito Uchiha scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, but then raised his chin and said, "Shū-sensei, I'm different now. I've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"The legendary Mangekyou Sharingan—even among the Uchiha clan, very few have ever awakened it!"

At this moment, Obito Uchiha was extremely arrogant.

But he does have the right to be arrogant.

Once the kaleidoscope is activated, along with the Hashirama cells, it's a sure way to reach Shadow-level.

Kamui is an even more troublesome eye technique. Once Obito Uchiha becomes familiar with it, even a Kage might be killed in their first encounter.

Looking at the arrogant Uchiha Obito, Hoshino Hide smiled and said, "Obito, I've told you before that what's powerful isn't often the ninjutsu itself, but the person using it, right?"

Obito Uchiha paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course I remember, don't worry, Hide-sensei, I understand!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded and said, "You are also familiar with Afei. Let him keep an eye on Lin and the others. With your current pupil technique, it won't be difficult to save people if there is any real danger."

Obito Uchiha glanced at Tobi, the White Zetsu, who was standing to the side.

White Zetsu Afei shrugged and laughed, "Of course, there's no problem with that."

"But Obito, you have to tell me what it feels like to poop!"

Obito Uchiha's face instantly darkened. Was this problem insurmountable?

"Damn it, why do you always dwell on this?"

Obito Uchiha was nearly driven mad: "Change your request!"

Bai Jue A Fei stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment: "Then... tell us what it feels like to like someone!"

Obito Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then his face instantly turned red, and he said in a flustered manner, "How...how should I know?"

"Damn it, you're an artificial human, a genderless being, why do you care about such things?"

Bai Zetsu Afei laughed, "Hey, hey, hey, I know you like that Nohara Rin."

"That damned guy..."

Obito gritted his teeth, but he couldn't argue back, so he could only mutter, "If you like someone, you like them. How would someone like you understand?"

"alright……"

Xingxia Xiu interrupted the two bored guys and said seriously, "Afei, keep an eye on Lin."

"Understood, Lord Madara!"

After saying that, White Zetsu Tobi made a face at Uchiha Obito, then sank into the ground and disappeared.

After Tobi (White Zetsu) left, Hoshino Hideaki said to Obito Uchiha, "Come with me!"

With that, he reached out and grabbed Obito Uchiha's shoulder, and the two of them vanished from the spot.

On a deserted island.

Hoshino appeared with Obito Uchiha, while the main body was already waiting not far away.

The clone dissipated and transformed into a large tree.

Obito Uchiha stared wide-eyed: "A clone!"

Looking at the surprised Obito Uchiha, Hoshino Shu smiled and said, "You shouldn't be surprised."

"Although Wood Release clones are difficult to identify, you should be able to figure this out from other aspects."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha scratched his head in embarrassment.

Hoshino Shuu's smile faded, and he said, "Obito, you must have many questions. Now you can ask them."

Obito Uchiha paused for a moment, then asked, "Why did you impersonate Madara Uchiha?"

Hoshino stepped forward, grabbed Uchiha Obito, and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the underground altar of the Naka Shrine.

"here……"

The campfire was lit, much to Obito Uchiha's surprise.

"That stone tablet..."

Xingxia Xiu pointed to the stone tablet in front of her: "Now that you have activated the Kaleidoscope, you can try to decipher the contents on it."

"Is there anything special about it?"

Obito Uchiha stepped forward and activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

He stared at the stone tablet and gradually deciphered information that was different from what was on the surface.

Regarding the advancement of the Sharingan.

"Teacher Xiu, there seems to be more content later, but I can't see it."

Obito Uchiha turned around.

Hoshino said, "What you saw was probably only about the advancement of the Sharingan, including the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Obito Uchiha nodded: "It says that above the Mangekyou Sharingan there is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, but to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, one needs to transplant the Mangekyou Sharingan of a close relative."

"Teacher Xiu, is this true?"

Hideaki Hoshino said, "All I can say is that this is a way to become an eternal kaleidoscope."

Obito Uchiha fell silent, a hint of sadness in his voice: "Could it really be eyes cursed?"

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "You have the first generation's cells in your body, which can also counteract the negative effects of using the Kaleidoscope, namely vision deterioration, which is about the same as the Eternal Kaleidoscope."

"Perhaps this can be considered one method."

Obito Uchiha nodded, then asked, "So... in the Land of Grass, and with Rin and the others being hunted down, Hideaki-sensei knew all along, but didn't interfere, all so that I could awaken my Sharingan?"

Hoshino looked into Obito Uchiha's eyes: "You could say that."

"You will eventually have to walk your own paths. There is no other way to awaken the Sharingan yet."

"Of course, Lin's matter was arranged secretly by the teacher."

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened, his body trembling slightly: "Because of the Mangekyou Sharingan... but... what if, what if Rin...?"

Xingxia Xiu said calmly, "She won't die as long as I'm here."

"During the battle in the Land of Grass, you also felt the helplessness of being outmatched, didn't you?"

"If you want to protect the people around you and the things that are important to you, you must have enough strength, and gaining strength comes at a price."

"Because of me, you haven't truly lost Lin."

"If you only activate the power of two tomoe, do you think you can absolutely protect Rin on the battlefield?"

Obito Uchiha clenched his fists, but he had no way to refute them.

Xingxia Xiu coldly replied, "You can't protect me."

"Even with my current strength, I can't protect everyone."

"Therefore, I train you and pass on everything I can to you, so that you will have the strength to protect yourselves and others, both now and in the future."

Obito Uchiha lowered his head, feeling guilty.

He was extremely angry just now.

Looking at Obito Uchiha, Hoshino Hideaki said, "Of course, actually my method is not correct."

"This is not fair to you."

"But there is no absolute fairness in this world."

"Now I'll answer your question from before: why did you impersonate Uchiha Madara?"

Obito Uchiha looked up, his eyes full of anticipation.

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "As I said before, at the Valley of the End, I was besieged by four Kage and Madara Uchiha."

"Then this involves the secret of why Madara Uchiha didn't die."

"Back then, Madara Uchiha faked his death to escape from the battle with the First Hokage. He has been hiding in the shadows all these years. This is the place where you recuperated before. It's called the Mountain Graveyard."

……

As Xingxia Xiu recounted the story, Obito Uchiha's expression grew increasingly shocked.

Rinnegan!

Ten-tailed!

There's so much information, my brain can't keep up.

Suddenly, Obito Uchiha asked, "Shide-sensei, now that Madara Uchiha is dead, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"Right now, you are the strongest in the entire ninja world, Mr. Hideaki."

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "Things aren't that simple."

"Madara Uchiha knew he would be killed by me, so he left behind a way to resurrect himself."

"Furthermore, the Eye of the Moon Plan recorded on the stone tablet of your Uchiha clan is a very dangerous thing, and it should still be hiding secrets."

Obito Uchiha frowned: "Is it Zetsu and White Zetsu?"

Hoshino Shu remained noncommittal: "Therefore, we need to collect all the Tailed Beasts."

"Collecting the Tailed Beasts will inevitably lead to conflict with other ninja villages, you know that, right?"

Obito Uchiha nodded.

Hoshita Hideyoshi said, "Therefore, we need to collect it secretly, in the name of Uchiha Madara."

Obito Uchiha quickly said, "This will divert the attention of those ninja villages."

Hoshino nods: "This way, Konoha won't be constantly embroiled in war."

"Obito, you don't want Rin to be caught in the danger of war, do you?"

Obito Uchiha nodded quickly.

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "So, next I need you to impersonate Uchiha Madara, take Zetsu and the others to the Land of Rain, and join the Akatsuki organization there."

"Of course, I also founded the Akatsuki organization."

The latest novel is first published here!

"To collect the Tailed Beasts in the name of the Akatsuki organization."

"For example, the Three-Tails of Kirigakure, the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails of Kumogakure, and the One-Tails of Sunagakure."

Obito Uchiha nodded, then asked doubtfully, "Are there only these four?"

Hoshino nodded: "Because, apart from Kurama (the Nine-Tails) which is in the village, I have already captured the others."

Obito Uchiha suddenly realized, and then said confidently, "I understand."

"Four tailed beasts? No problem at all. Leave Hide-sensei to me!"

Hoshita Hide smiled and said, "It's not just you; there's also Nagato and the others from Amegakure."

"That guy with the Rinnegan..."

Obito Uchiha asked in confusion, "Madara Uchiha needs the Rinnegan to be resurrected, so why not destroy the Rinnegan?"

Hoshino Hide shook his head: "We must figure out the conspiracy hidden in the Eye of the Moon Project, so we still need to keep the Rinnegan."

"Even if necessary, resurrect Madara Uchiha."

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened: "This...isn't this too dangerous?"

Xingxia Xiu was full of confidence: "If I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time."

"All right!"

Obito Uchiha scratched his head, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Xingxia Xiu laughed, "Come on, let's test your kaleidoscope abilities!"

Obito Uchiha's eyes lit up, and he immediately became eager to try it out: "Shu-sensei, my eye technique is extremely powerful, so be careful."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and leaped backward: "Come on!"

Obito Uchiha immediately rushed towards Hoshino Shuu.

Xingxia Xiu casually flicked her wrist, and the wooden spikes flew out.

However, the wooden spike pierced through Obito Uchiha's body without causing any damage.

Rushing forward, Obito Uchiha reached out to grab Hoshino Hideaki, allowing Hoshino Hideaki to sweep his body with a kick.

But the next moment, Obito Uchiha missed his target.

Xingxia Xiu's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared on the large tree formed by his clone.

Obito Uchiha turned around and immediately activated another ability of Kamui.

Space is distorted, attempting to bring Xingxia Xiu into the Divine Might Space from a distance, or cause damage.

However, Hoshino disappeared from the tree again, and Kamui only managed to break off one branch.

"Master Xiu also possesses space-time ninjutsu. For my Kamui to capture him, I must either strike him unexpectedly or touch him first in order to quickly bring him into the Kamui dimension."

Obito Uchiha charged toward Hoshino once more, forming hand seals.

The art of cutting propagation!

Xingxia Xiu simply turned to the side to avoid the splinter.

But what followed was the chaos of hell.

This is a move that Obito Uchiha used against the Kirigakure Anbu before; it is a wide-range Wood Release killing move.

However, for the Star Show, it's still easy to avoid.

But Obito Uchiha also took the opportunity to disappear.

When it reappeared, it was indeed behind Hoshino Hide, releasing itself with Kamui and then activating Kamui.

Xingxia Xiu was sucked into the Kamui Dimension.

However, another star emerged from behind the tree: "They moved very quickly."

"A clone..."

Obito Uchiha's expression changed, and Hoshino Hide's attack also flew over.

It is a dense mass of kunai.

Multiple Hand-Sword Shadow Clone Technique!

Obito Uchiha couldn't dodge in time, so he simply "invisibleized," allowing the shuriken to pass right through his body.

But before he could dispel the ethereal transformation, he was punched and sent flying with a thud.

"this……"

Obito Uchiha scrambled to his feet: "It's that clone from the Kamui dimension!"

Has Kamui's eye technique been broken?

Obito Uchiha was stunned.

Hoshita Hideyoshi said, "Obito, there is no perfect ninjutsu, including the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Your eye technique is of the space-time type, which is difficult for most ninjas to deal with, but it's not absolute."

"The key is people!"

"Of course, you don't need to be discouraged, because I have mastered space-time ninjutsu, so I will be able to quickly see through the characteristics of your eye technique."

Obito Uchiha snapped out of his daze and secretly comforted himself: "Shū-sensei is right. Besides, Shū-sensei is the strongest ninja in the world right now. He even killed Madara Uchiha. It's normal for him to be able to break Kamui."

"If it's Kakashi, there's definitely no way to get it."

Regaining his confidence, Obito Uchiha said, "Shide-sensei, I will master the eye technique as soon as possible!"

Hoshita Hide nodded and added, "The Kaleidoscope has another ability: Susanoo."

"This is also an extremely important force."

Obito Uchiha nodded, and then began to use it.

Chakra erupted, and the skeletal half of the Susanoo condensed.

Xingxia Xiu stepped forward, raised his hand and used Lightning Blade to easily pierce through the skeleton of Susanoo: "It's far inferior to Uchiha Madara."

"Even Madara Uchiha's complete Susanoo, I can shatter."

"In your current state, even Kakashi's Lightning Blade can break through you."

Obito Uchiha was speechless and quickly said, "Shide-sensei, this is my first time using it."

Hoshino nodded: "From now on, you should hone your eye power more and continuously improve the power of Susanoo."

"If you can master the complete Susanoo, then you will be able to sweep away the Kage of the five great ninja villages."

Obito Uchiha was thrilled to hear this, waving his fist and shouting, "I can definitely do it!"

With the support of interstitial cells, this is indeed possible.

"Let's go back."

"Your main task from now on is to train and further master the power of the kaleidoscope."

Hoshino Hideyoshi led Obito Uchiha back to the Mountain Graveyard, leaving behind a wood clone before returning to Konoha.

This was meant to give Obito Uchiha a warning, lest he get too cocky.

Back to Konoha.

Hoshino Hide thought to himself, "With Obito and Nagato in Akatsuki, I don't need to worry about them too much for the time being."

"For a long time to come, I can focus on my spiritual practice."

"Once the Rinnegan is awakened, we'll go to the parallel world..."

The Star Show has been decided.

He needs to first use the Gedo Mazo from a parallel world to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

In this way, he will have enough power to control the overall situation.
