People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

After finishing his speech, Madara Uchiha left the base.

Payne announced the end of the meeting, and Obito returned to his room.

Obito pondered the meeting that had just taken place.

So far, it is known that Madara Uchiha went to Loulan to seize the Dragon Vein. It is obvious that Madara Uchiha wanted to get rid of the constraints of the Earth Release: Reincarnation Technique.

Moreover, Madara Uchiha clearly intended to kill him.

If he had shown even the slightest abnormality during the meeting, Madara Uchiha would have definitely killed him.

Obito had one question he couldn't figure out.

That is, if Madara Uchiha wanted to kill him, what method would he need to use?

Even if Madara Uchiha were incredibly powerful, he wouldn't be able to track down the space-time barrier to kill him, given his Kamui ability.

Since Madara Uchiha chose to test me, he must have known how to kill me.

Obito used his chakra to meticulously examine every inch of the body.

Upon examining his heart, Obito discovered a faint, almost imperceptible chakra aura that did not belong to him.

Just as Obito was about to cut open his chest to examine himself, an irresistible force stopped him from doing so.

At this moment, the chakra in the heart area was unusually active.

Obito immediately realized that the chakra in his heart was a seal, preventing him from harming himself.

And this seal was definitely planted in Madara Uchiha's heart.

In other words, if Madara Uchiha wanted him to die, he would have no way to resist.

Obito's expression was gloomy. This seal must have been placed there by Madara Uchiha when he was being treated after half of his body was smashed by a rock during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

"I never imagined that from that moment on, my life would be in the hands of others..."

Obito's brows furrowed tightly, for a new problem was about to arise.

Why him? Why did Madara Uchiha choose him?

Since Madara Uchiha buried the seal in his heart while treating himself, it shows that he never trusted him.

And this seal is to prevent oneself from harming oneself.

So why did Madara Uchiha think that he would hurt him?

Isn't this unnecessary?

In other words, there must have been something that made Madara Uchiha think he would despair and commit suicide, which is why he added this safety measure.

If there was one thing that Obito felt most hopeless about, then there was only one.

Lin's death!

Obito recalled the details of that day.

At that time, Obito was recovering his body at Madara Uchiha's base when White Zetsu suddenly found him and told him that Rin and Kakashi were surrounded by ninjas from Kirigakure.

When Obito arrived, he happened to witness Kakashi piercing Rin's chest with Chidori.

In despair, Obito killed all the Hidden Mist Village ninjas.

At that time, Obito was indeed in despair and wanted to commit suicide, wanting to follow Rin in death.

Obito, upon reflection, realized that all of this was far too coincidental.

He was saved by Madara Uchiha, and a cursed seal was implanted in his heart that prevented him from harming himself. Then he witnessed Rin's death. At that time, even if Obito wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't.

Consumed by hatred, Obito went back to find Madara Uchiha.

Furthermore, he learned from Madara Uchiha about the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, which could create a world with Rin.

Looking back now, Obito finds more and more suspicious points.

Why did the Hidden Mist Village ninja seal the Three-Tails Isobu inside Rin? Why did Kakashi kill Rin?

Kakashi was an important comrade of Obito. Obito knew very well that Kakashi was a man who would never abandon his comrades. However, Obito happened to witness Kakashi's Lightning Blade piercing through Rin's chest.

Obito felt that ever since he met Madara Uchiha, everything seemed to be scripted, as if he was following a script.

Obito felt that there must be something hidden about Rin's death, and it was very likely that Madara Uchiha was involved.

Obito's face was extremely gloomy. He needed to know the truth, the whole truth.

Madara Uchiha would never tell him this truth.

So only one other person involved, who is still alive, Kakashi Hatake, knows.

Obito doesn't have time to verify the truth right now, because Madara Uchiha is still on guard against him, and his life is still in Madara Uchiha's hands.

Next, we must do our best to help Madara Uchiha seize the power of the Dragon Vein and gain his trust.

Then he went to Konoha, found Kakashi, and asked him about the truth behind Rin's death.

Chapter 328 Action

Inside the room where Uchiha Madara was.

Black Zetsu asked, "Madara, you should be able to trust Obito now, right?"

Madara Uchiha sneered, "Trust? I trust no one but myself. It's just that Obito Uchiha can be kept as a pawn for the time being, but Nagato's problem must be resolved as soon as possible."

Black Zetsu nodded and said, "That's right, Nagato seems to be quite hostile towards you."

"After I seize the dragon vein of Loulan, I will find an opportunity to inject a portion of the dragon vein's power into Nagato's body. Then you will possess Nagato's body and manipulate him to perform the Samsara Rebirth Technique."

Black Zetsu asked in surprise, "So soon? We haven't even finished collecting the tailed beasts yet."

A cold glint flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes: "Only the Five-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails are left. Nagato's value has been almost used up, and it's time to discard him."

Black Zetsu was also extremely excited at this moment.

After Madara Uchiha was resurrected, the tailed beast capture plan accelerated significantly, which meant that Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection was getting closer and closer.

It turns out that convincing Obito to revive Madara Uchiha was the right decision.

Black Zetsu couldn't wait to see his mother again.

The next day, Madara Uchiha, Obito, and Zetsu set off for the Loulan ruins in the desert of the Land of Wind.

Nagato also announced that the capture of the Tailed Beasts would continue, with Pain personally leading the Six Paths to Iwagakure to capture the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

Osamu also reported this information to Yosuke through the Oni Crow.

Yosuke received the demon crow sent by Osamu.

They learned that Madara Uchiha and his two companions had gone to the Loulan ruins in the desert of the Land of Wind to seize the Dragon Vein.

Pain of the Akatsuki chose to go to Iwagakure to capture Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

Yosuke immediately informed Deidara, instructing him to go to Iwagakure and notify Onoki to prepare.

The group had never heard of the Loulan ruins and were completely baffled.

However, Mikoto Uchiha knew some information.

Because she and Kushina were once close friends, she learned that Minato Namikaze had participated in a mission before he became Hokage.

The mission is about Loulan: to capture a ninja named Centipede.

Furthermore, Mikoto Uchiha remembers that Minato Namikaze sealed something called a meridian.

Yosuke immediately used a scroll to notify Minato.

After receiving the message, Minato happened to be in the Bird Country, which is near the Mountain Country.

Because they could sense Yosuke's Flying Thunder God mark, Minato led everyone to use the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport directly to Yosuke's side.

Naruto retorted angrily, "Minato Namikaze, I've said it before, you can't interfere with any of my decisions!"

Minato scratched his head sheepishly: "Sorry, Naruto, I forgot for a moment."

Naruto snorted and leaned against the wall to rest with his eyes closed, while Kimimaro stayed by Naruto's side.

Seeing that Naruto did not continue to blame him, Minato said to Yosuke, "Yosuke, I already know the news you sent. It was indeed I who sealed the dragon vein of Loulan back then."

"Madara Uchiha wants to seize the power of the Dragon Vein. Although we don't know what his purpose is, we must stop him."

Minato explained, "The seal I set up is directly connected to the dragon vein, which continuously provides power to the seal. In theory, the seal should be very strong. Moreover, Loulan has become a ruin, buried deep in the desert of the Land of Wind. Madara Uchiha should not be able to find it."

"Although we don't know how Madara Uchiha broke the seal, they have already set off for Loulan. Just to be on the safe side, we should go and check."

Naruto, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Because he heard about Uchiha Madara.

Ever since learning that Madara Uchiha coveted his Kurama, Naruto has felt a lump in his throat and wished nothing more than to kill Madara Uchiha.

Kushina, who had been watching Naruto closely, noticed his micro-expressions and asked curiously, "Naruto, do you want to go?"

Naruto didn't answer Kushina, but instead asked Yosuke, "Are you sure Madara Uchiha has already gone to the Land of Wind?"

Yosuke nodded and said, "That's right. Also traveling with us were Zetsu from Akatsuki and Tobi, the masked man who attacked Konoha back then."

Upon hearing the name of the masked man, Tobi, Minato's body trembled slightly.

Although he suspected that the masked man, Tobi, was Obito, Minato had no evidence and no opportunity to verify it.

Upon hearing that the masked man, Tobi, was also traveling to the Land of Wind with Madara Uchiha, Minato felt compelled to go as well. He needed to know whether this masked man was actually Obito.

Minato glanced at Naruto, wondering what would happen to Naruto if he went.

Yosuke realized that Naruto and Minato both really wanted to go.

“Naruto, you probably want to go to Roran too, right? It’s perfect that you and Minato go together.”

"I don't need you to control me!" Naruto said, but he didn't actually refuse.

Yosuke smiled slightly, then said to Minato, "Minato, after all, the Nine-Tails inside Naruto and Kushina is Madara Uchiha's target. This time, I'll go with you."

Yosuke originally planned to go to Iwagakure to meet Pain, the apparent leader of the Akatsuki organization.

But seeing that Naruto wanted to go, Yosuke had a new idea.

That is, what kind of chemical reaction will occur when Naruto and Sasuke, these two chosen ones, act together?
