Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

They demonstrated the determination to become demons in order to achieve their goals!

"Only such a 'dawn' is worthy of overturning that old chessboard in this cruel ninja world."

"However, since the commotion has become so big, I'm afraid the story I've written might go astray."

"Masked Obito, stand up straight! Don't let me down."

……

In the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water, in the secret room on the top floor of the Water Shadow Building.

The air was so cold it seemed to drip water, and the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, sat like a soulless doll in the heavy shadows.

"What did you say? The intelligence center was completely wiped out?"

A voice rang out in the secret room.

"Not only was the intelligence center completely wiped out..." White Zetsu emerged halfway from the floor, his face unusually grave, reporting the information that had just been gathered:

"And the several ANBU squads that went to hunt down the Snow Clan have all lost contact. At the intelligence center, the entire building was instantly flattened by a terrifying repulsive force, and the corpses of the ANBU members were even crushed into mincemeat; while on the coastline, there are extremely high-frequency signs of destruction from lightning and fire jutsu..."

"Repulsive force? Lightning Release and Fire Release."

Wearing a one-eyed vortex mask, Obito instantly recalled two figures in black trench coats.

“Uchiha Tsukuyomi…”

This name now represents an absolute, uncontrollable variable in the eyes of the entire ninja world's higher-ups.

What are they doing here?

Obito stopped in his tracks, his Sharingan fixed on the thick, impenetrable blood mist outside the window.

"The Hidden Mist Village is isolated overseas, lacking resources, and has always been xenophobic. Given Uchiha Tsukuyomi's current wealth and ambition, he wouldn't even consider the pitiful assets of the Hidden Mist Village. Unless... he's noticed the unusual situation of the Mizukage being controlled! Or rather, he's also after the Hidden Mist Village!"

White Zetsu tilted his head slightly: "Obito, if it really is Uchiha Tsukuyomi personally taking action, the current Anbu of Kirigakure probably won't be able to stop him at all. Those are two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, should we...?"

"Shut up."

Obito coldly interrupted White Zetsu, his mind racing.

"No...that doesn't make sense logically."

"If Uchiha Tsukuyomi really wanted to seize control of Kirigakure or kill me, with his strength, he could have simply stormed the Mizukage Building. But he didn't."

"He went to the coastline to rescue a few insignificant civilians, and then launched a high-profile, low-tech attack on the intelligence center... This kind of stupid thing, which seriously alerted the enemy, is not the way an old fox like him would act."

"What is he worried about? What is he afraid of? Or is it just a test?" One question after another arose in Obito's mind.

"I must find out his true purpose in person..."

Bai Jue nodded, then suddenly started shouting like a fool.

"Ah! Right, Obito! I remember now!" White Zetsu scratched his head. "The information transmitted back by the spore clones at the scene said that the people who made the move... seemed to be a few teenagers wearing cat-face masks, not Uchiha Tsuki himself at all."

"..."

The sealed room fell into a deathly silence.

"You—! Why didn't you tell me this information sooner!"

Obito's face under the mask suddenly stiffened, and he felt a burning stinging pain on his skin.

I've been racking my brains here, trying to outsmart the air!

As it turned out, White Zetsu didn't finish telling the information all at once; he had actually been cooperating with me in making deductions!

What a brainless idiot!

"That's enough!"

Obito took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to strangle White Zetsu. The fear in his single eye gradually transformed into a cold killing intent.

"Ze, relay the Water Shadow's order."

Obito walked up behind Yagura and, in a chilling tone, began to give instructions for what would happen next:

"Have the Mizukage further intensify the Blood Mist policy, and transfer the remnants of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to suppress those bloodline clans! Leave the village affairs to the puppets."

"As for those few arrogant brats..."

A spiraling ripple spread through the space around Obito.

“I will go there myself and expose their secrets.”

Chapter 151 Masked Obito: The Obito on the other side must be part of Yue's conspiracy!

Meanwhile, at the Misty Reef rebel underground base.

"Shh!"

Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato, wearing raincoats stained with dust and blood, ran quickly into the rebels' temporary command post.

"Kakashi! Obito! We've got the information!"

Yahiko slammed the scrolls onto the stone table, proudly raising his chin: "The Fourth Mizukage's daily log and the Anbu's dispatch diagrams are all here! And our retreat was perfect, not a single witness... not a single one left."

Mei Terumi and Zabuza stared at the confidential scrolls, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

This is the most heavily guarded intelligence center in Kirigakure!

These three kids, who looked no more than ten years old, not only got the stuff back, but also said they "didn't leave a single one alive"?

Zabuza swallowed hard.

He suddenly felt that he was being as gentle as if he were playing house in front of these three kids.

"Well done, Orange Head!"

Young Obito excitedly approached and put his arm around Yahiko's shoulder. "As expected of someone from our [Akatsuki]! But next time you're going to do something so impressive, you absolutely have to bring me, Uchiha Obito, along!"

"Idiot, don't be too happy yet."

Kakashi, however, was not as blindly optimistic as Obito. After hearing what Yahiko said, his deadpan eyes rolled, and he immediately guessed how Yahiko and the others had obtained this information.

"Yahiko, did you kill everyone in the intelligence department? You even turned off the alarms?"

"Huh?" Yahiko was taken aback, then nodded.

Kakashi rubbed his forehead with one hand, his voice filled with deep helplessness, "Didn't you guys really consider the consequences?"

“In other words…” Kakashi drew the short sword from his back, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp, “that 'masked man' hiding behind the scenes has probably already come knocking on our door, taking advantage of the mess you left behind!”

"Om-!"

Kakashi had barely finished speaking!

Without warning, a violent spiral-shaped ripple appeared in the central space of the rebel underground base!

A chilling chakra that sent shivers down one's spine, accompanied by an extremely oppressive killing intent, instantly descended upon the cave!

"Enemy attack! Scatter!"

Mei Terumi and Zabuza reacted extremely quickly, leaping backward in an instant and assuming a fighting stance.

Amidst the wary gazes of everyone, a man dressed in a black robe and wearing a one-eyed vortex mask slowly emerged from the distorted space.

"This chakra... is it you! You masked bastard who wants to destroy the world!"

Obito Uchiha yanked off his goggles, his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes spinning wildly. Undeterred, he pointed at the masked man and roared, "I am Obito Uchiha of [Awakening]! Today I'm going to beat you to a pulp right here!"

However, faced with Obito's overwhelming declaration of war, the masked man who had just emerged from the Kamui dimension—the adult Obito—was completely frozen in place, as if he had been frozen in place by a spell.

Beneath the mask, the crimson Mangekyou Sharingan's pupil suddenly contracted to the size of a pinhead!

He stared intently ahead.

He saw the loud, black-haired boy wearing goggles.

He saw the white-haired man standing next to the boy, whose left eye was intact and whose face had a dead fish-like expression.

Then, his gaze trembled violently, passing over the two people and landing on the girl with short brown hair, purple patterns on her cheeks, who was protecting Xiao Nan with a wary yet gentle expression.

"Lin...?"

The masked Obito's brain exploded with a "boom" in that instant.

My breathing stopped, and my heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by a cold, large hand.

How can it be? !

Rin is clearly dead! She died under Kakashi's Lightning Blade, he saw it with his own eyes!

There is absolutely no ninjutsu in this world that can bring someone back to life. Even if it were reincarnation, it would be impossible to restore her to the appearance of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old!

And there's myself wearing goggles, and Kakashi without the Sharingan in his left eye...

"Illusion? No... White Zetsu's intelligence said that these brats wiped out the intelligence department, but..."

Masked Obito's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He knew this feeling all too well.

Before the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, before that "senpai" named Uchiha Tsuki had defected from Konoha.

That man always liked to use these kinds of tricks that blurred the lines between reality and illusion to prank him!

And they called it a way to train his mind.

And then there was the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, when Tsukina suddenly greeted him.

This guy has always had a rather morbid sense of humor.

"Uchiha Tsuki... This must be the work of that bastard!"

Masked Obito roared madly in his heart.

"He saw through my identity during the Nine-Tailed Fox Night! That's why he's deliberately using some extremely advanced Yin Release technique here to provoke me!"

"This is a trap! That monster... Uchiha Tsuki and that girl named Hikari are definitely hiding in some blind spot around here, waiting for me."

Too dangerous!

If Uchiha Yue finds a weakness here, forget about the Eye of the Moon Plan, it's questionable whether he can even leave this place today!

"Hey! You masked bastard! What are you spacing out for?! Are you scared of me?!"
