Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Their monthly salary is almost one to two times what they used to earn fighting desperately during times of war.

This is an incredibly lucrative opportunity. In the past, even risking one's life to make money, one could never earn this much.

Living in a peaceful era, yet able to make a fortune, how could they not be overjoyed?

Fugaku Uchiha naturally followed Minato Namikaze's policy direction.

More than 90% of the Uchiha clan members are normal people, so they naturally understand the situation and know how to make the right choice.

With reason and a broad perspective, the Uchiha clan leader Fugaku led his clansmen to honestly and diligently advance comprehensive and in-depth cooperation with Namikaze Minato.

However, within the Uchiha clan, there are always some foolish and stubborn individuals.

Outside the village, a masked man, who possesses the Uchiha Reflector, a mysterious artifact from the Uchiha clan's legend capable of reflecting attacks, secretly colludes with these confused members of the clan.

They seem to be secretly plotting something, and conspiracies are brewing in the shadows.

The two groups of people quickly dispersed.

After the discussion, Obito Uchiha went alone to Rin Nohara's grave.

He stood there quietly, his eyes filled with complex emotions, his thoughts seemingly drifting off into the distance.

After a long while, he slowly squatted down and gently placed a small white flower on the ground.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Countless shuriken sliced ​​through the air with a sharp whistling sound, sweeping towards Uchiha Obito like a surging tide.

The overwhelming barrage of shuriken, like a dark curtain, instantly enveloped him.

Each shuriken spun at an astonishing speed, carrying a sharp killing intent.

Just as the fastest shuriken was about to touch his body, Obito Uchiha flashed and hid in his Kamui dimension.

Beneath the mask, his expression shifted between light and shadow, his mind filled with doubt: when exactly had he revealed his whereabouts?

A continuous stream of shuriken and kunai came whistling in from afar, piercing the ground in front of him with a series of "thuds".

Wood chips flew everywhere, dust billowed, and the explosive tags attached to the kunai were instantly detonated.

In an instant, a deafening explosion rang out, and the terrifying shockwave spread outwards like a surging wave.

The power of this explosion was in no way inferior to modern guns and cannons, and it cleared the area in just a few moments.

As the dust slowly settled, Obito stood unharmed in the same spot, though the ground behind him was now riddled with holes.

"That's the end of it." A righteous voice suddenly rang out, followed by a flash of golden light, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, wearing a divine robe, appeared in the open space.

The specially made teleportation dagger in his hand gleamed coldly, clearly indicating that he used it to perform the teleportation technique.

With a few "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds, countless masked members of the Anbu appeared using the Body Flicker Technique and surrounded Obito.

Among these secret agents, apart from the regular members, most were members of Minato Namikaze's carefully trained personal guard, each one an elite under his command.

Among them are his own genius disciple, Hatake Kakashi; Uchiha Shisui, a rising star of the Uchiha clan; and Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of the Hyuga clan leader.

Among them were also powerful figures such as Akimichi Choza.

This group of people are all staunch supporters of Minato Namikaze.

At a slightly upwind location, a little distance away from them, Hiruko began to quietly release a colorless and odorless biological toxin.

This group of people had made preparations before they arrived; they had taken the antidote half an hour before they arrived.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio has always been a close-knit group. Since Minato Namikaze arranged for Choza Akimichi to participate in this operation, he naturally wouldn't leave out Shikaku Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka.

They were also Minato Namikaze's capable assistants and the Hokage's most trusted staunch supporters.

They will all go all out in this plan to capture "Uchiha Madara".

This operation was meticulously planned by Nara Shikaku based on intelligence provided by Hiruko.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Nara Shikaku hide in the shadows, using the equipment provided by Hiruko to connect everyone's brains and thus provide specific strategic plans.

It also enabled voice communication between teams to provide off-field assistance.

Other members of the Uchiha clan attended the meeting; they had a long-standing relationship with Minato Namikaze, but they were not present at the scene of the operation.

One reason was to avoid suspicion, since Madara Uchiha was a member of the Uchiha clan, and his identity was sensitive.

On the other hand, after communicating with Minato Namikaze, Fugaku decided to personally lead the Konoha Police Force to capture the clansmen who had betrayed the village.

He did this both to clear his name and to protect the remaining goodwill within the Uchiha clan.

If he were to personally capture them, those clansmen might have a chance to survive, die with some dignity, and have their remains properly cared for by the Uchiha clan.

But if it weren't for him personally capturing them, for example, if it were Danzo instead, the remains of these clansmen would probably have been taken to a laboratory for experiments and would definitely not have been returned to the Uchiha clan.

After all, no one in the Uchiha clan didn't know who Danzo was.

Of course, Danzo doesn't always represent anything; the Uchiha's attitude is what matters most.

Chapter 73 Love for Lin!

Those Uchiha clansmen who had just left their leader's side had now fallen into Fugaku's meticulously laid trap.

On the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's side, Obito Uchiha narrowed his eyes, looking intently at his former teacher, his feelings somewhat complicated.

He didn't want to meet Minato Namikaze for the time being, not because he was afraid of Minato, but because he was quite arrogant at the moment.

Ever since receiving the cheat code from Madara Uchiha, Obito became arrogant and overconfident, as if he had no rivals in the world, making him comparable to the later arrogant and domineering Sasuke.

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Sasuke felt confident again, as did Obito.

Even if Nagato unleashed his formidable fighting power when provoked, boasting of his godlike strength with the Rinnegan, Obito saw it as nothing special.

After Obito gained Wood Release and the Mangekyou Sharingan and rose to power overnight, coupled with his long-term role as Madara Uchiha, his mentality became extremely inflated, and he even disregarded Nagato's strength.

In fact, although Obito planned many things, he had not really figured out how to carry them out.

Even now, all his plans are still in their infancy, and he remains somewhat hesitant when it comes to taking action.

Prior to this, Obito had done relatively little, at most going to Kirigakure to try to control the Jinchuriki in order to lure out Nagato, but he did nothing else.

During the time he played the role of Madara Uchiha, Obito looked at the countless poor people in the ninja world and saw only darkness, hatred, despair, pain and killing.

He kept asking himself: Where exactly is this place?

Is this hell?

He now does have a way to directly revive Nohara Rin, but he is unwilling to do so.

In his view, rather than letting Lin's soul be resurrected in this cruel and hellish world, it would be better to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a real and perfect world for her.

In that world, people can experience the most perfect life.

Everyone can live a happy life.

This is Obito's love for Rin.

This is also why Obito Uchiha was unwilling to disturb Rin's grave.

However, there was nothing in Nohara Rin's grave.

Lin has now become Hiruko's maid and is constantly striving forward.

She also wanted to find a way to take down Hiruko; she was somewhat tempted by this guy who had given her a ray of light in the darkness.

Although the changes in the Land of Fire surprised Obito, he knew in his heart that these were merely superficial changes, and the cannibalistic nature of the ninja world remained unchanged.

"Where did you get your Sharingan from?" Uchiha Shisui shouted at the one-eyed masked man in front of him, his eyes unusually sharp and his tone carrying a hint of killing intent.

Yet, within this murderous intent lay a hidden hint of joy.

Because in Hiruko's description, the power of this eye is exactly the same as Kakashi's, almost as if it were derived from a pair of eyes.

In addition, Kakashi recently injected himself with the No. 3 Life Serum, which caused his chakra to surge, and he unexpectedly developed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It can also use a special space ninjutsu that distorts the air.

This made Minato Namikaze think of many things. He was 80 or 90 percent certain that the guy in front of him was his disciple, Obito Uchiha, whom he thought was dead.

Even the usually mild-mannered Minato Namikaze couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment, but when he thought about how little Obito had survived, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Obito is definitely being manipulated by others right now.

Upon hearing this, Obito remained silent for a moment, then immediately took off his hood, revealing a mask, his single crimson eye staring intently at everyone.

Kakashi's heart pounded wildly, and he shouted, "Obito, is that you?"

"Who exactly are you? You absolutely cannot be Uchiha Madara; he should have died long ago," Minato Namikaze asked again.

"Really? Not necessarily." Obito shook his head, speaking absentmindedly.

The Madara recorded in history books died just a few years ago, and afterwards he infiltrated Konoha to sow discord between the Uchiha clan and the village.

"What exactly is your purpose?" the young Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but shout.

The village already had a tense relationship with the Uchiha clan, which had only eased somewhat after the Fourth Hokage took office.

This person, however, was secretly stirring up conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha, and the masked man's actions really angered him.

"Kid, are you questioning me?" Obito was a little annoyed and didn't want anyone else to interrupt, after all, this was his meeting with his teacher.

He continued to use Madara Uchiha's voice, putting on a very domineering appearance.

At the same time, the chakra within his body erupted like a landslide and a tsunami, and the powerful aura stirred up a hurricane.

Faced with this sudden and powerful aura, some ordinary members of the secret service couldn't help but take a step back.

The powerful ninjas, however, remained completely unmoved.

After all, simply having a large amount of chakra isn't anything too amazing for a ninja.

If combat power is judged solely by chakra reserves, then the nine tailed beasts would never have been captured by humans.

"Haven't you set foot in this ninja world for too long? Have you forgotten the fears you once had? It seems necessary to remind you of them." Obito's voice was deep and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.

He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread like claws, chakra condensing in his mouth, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air.

Fire Release: Storm Dance!

In an instant, he formed a hand seal and roared. Blazing tongues of fire spiraled out from the storm before him, like a roaring fire dragon, rushing towards the Konoha members.

Flames and divine power intertwined, the fire gaining momentum from the wind, and the wind amplifying the fire's power, causing the range and power of the flames to surge in an instant.
