Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

Even when they were regular ninjas, the higher-ups wouldn't pull them aside for talks at every turn!

It's really annoying to have a meeting just to talk about trivial things.

This organization is really getting worse and worse, Kakuzu thought to himself.

"Let's exchange information." Obito said coldly.

No one answered.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Xiaonan asked.

"It's peacetime now, how is it possible that something happens every day?" Itachi replied indifferently.

Hoshigaki Kisame nodded in agreement, "Yes, last time I talked about something, didn't you say that trivial matters don't need to be mentioned? Then I have nothing to say."

Payne was speechless.

People's hearts are scattered. Even he can feel the irritability of these people.

"In that case, let's go our separate ways." Payne said calmly.

"Something strange happened in Konoha and the Sand Ninja. I don't know if we need to keep paying attention to it." After looking at Kakuzu, Scorpion of the Red Sand spoke.

Payne: "Go ahead."

"It seems that Minato Namikaze has returned from the dead."

"Impossible." Obito was stunned, then immediately retorted.

"It is indeed him. My insider in the Sand Village reported that the Fourth Kazekage and Minato Namikaze had met Jiraiya."

"Afterwards, Namikaze Minato deliberately lured out the One-Tail Jinchuriki, and a fierce battle ensued between him, the Kazekage, and the Jinchuriki."

"There was chaos in Konoha as well. It seemed that the Nine-Tails' chakra was running wild. It is still unclear what exactly happened."

"There are some gossipers who made up a story that they saw Hatake Kakashi fighting with a mysterious man for a woman."

Huh? After hearing what Scorpion said, Obito was completely confused.

The news from the Sand Ninja is quite reasonable.

The things happening in Konoha sound incoherent and confusing, and can only be considered hearsay.

Even if it was made up, it is too illogical.

"Scorpion, don't you have any people stationed in Konoha?" Obito asked.

The Red Sand Scorpion shook his head.

"what about you?"

Others also shook their heads.

Do I have to find out the news myself? Obito sighed helplessly.

"If you really want to count, there is one, and he is a ninja from Konoha." Pretending to think for a moment, Scorpion spoke again.

"Then I'll leave the affairs of Konoha to you to figure out." Obito instructed.

Scorpion of the Red Sand nodded, but laughed secretly in his heart.

The person he was talking about was naturally Yakushi Kabuto.

However, he had no intention of looking for Pharmacist Kabuto.

He just wanted to find an excuse to make people believe the rationality of his information, wait a day or two, and then reveal what White Zetsu told him.

-----------------

While holding a Grayl in her hand, Kaguya observed it carefully.

"Can this thing be produced infinitely?"

"No." Bai Zetsu, who followed her, shook his head, "All these that can be taken out were dug out by Hyde and his men. The real energy source is in the seal underground."

Following White Zetsu's footsteps, Kaguya walked into the bottom of the palace.

Looking up, she could see huge rocks.

"No wonder they can dig out ore. The seal here is getting weaker and weaker. I can sense the leaked energy. I'm afraid it won't be long before this place sees the light of day again."

"Forget it. Although I don't understand any sealing techniques, as long as there is energy leakage, I can absorb it anyway."

She didn't make any movement, but the energy overflowing from the Grayl ore veins seemed to have color as if it were real, converging towards her body and penetrating into it.

Kaguya sat quietly on the ground.

-----------------

"Did you find anything?"

"It seems to be related to Orochimaru." Glancing at the expressionless Minato Namikaze, Yamanaka Inichi answered Tsunade's question.

"It's him indeed." Tsunade was not surprised and looked at Minato.

"Do you want Lin to become like you?"

-----------------

"With Minato's skills, he should be back by now. Did something happen?" In Orochimaru's base, Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried.

"It's very likely. But my connection with him is still there, which means his body should not have dissipated." Orochimaru responded.

Chapter 170 170 Obito: Kakashi, you are a waste

"Orochimaru, then please summon him back quickly." Sarutobi Hiruzen said anxiously.

"..." After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru shook his head and refused. He said, "If Minato is really captured by Konoha's people, it will be too easy for them to do something to him."

"When I summon him here, it is very likely that the Konoha ninja will find this place as well."

"So, it's best to let him escape on his own and get rid of Konoha's pursuit."

In order to prevent being tracked, Orochimaru decisively decided to move and abandon the base here.

Of course, he did not forget to take a Flying Thunder God Kunai with him before he left, in case Minato couldn't find his way back.

"Go and inform others, we need to leave here as soon as possible." Orochimaru called a subordinate and instructed him.

……

"Tsunade-senpai, I am a puppet, and so are you?"

In the closed interrogation room, Minato Namikaze showed no fear.

Tsunade smiled. Minato was both Jiraiya's apprentice and a contractor of the Toad Clan. It was very likely that he was as stubborn as Jiraiya.

She was too lazy to argue with him anymore and asked the ninja waiting outside the door to call Uchiha Izumi over.

"Quan, you are responsible for watching him."

"..." Quan hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Tsunade stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry, if there is any movement from Kakashi, I will send someone to tell you."

"Okay." Quan had no choice but to agree.

Minato sighed silently.

After leaving the interrogation department, a subordinate told her that Kakashi had been waiting for her in the Hokage Building for a long time.

Tsunade had no choice but to go and see him.

Kakashi looked a little listless at this time. He had temporarily preserved Nohara Rin's body using medical equipment, waiting for the matter to be over and the Konoha tomb to be renovated before burying him.

He asked succinctly, "Tsunade-sama, what exactly is Minato-sensei's purpose?"

"Orochimaru wants to use the Impure World Reincarnation to summon her spirit." Tsunade said, and briefly explained the principle of the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Immortal Reincarnation?" Kakashi was stunned, then asked in confusion: "Rin is just an unknown ninja, why is she being targeted?"

Tsunade shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand Orochimaru's intentions either.

Sighing, Kakashi returned to his home, walked into a room, and looked directly at the person with his eyes closed in the transparent square freezer.

He temporarily placed Nohara Lin here.

It is said that the ghost that others are afraid of may be the person that others hope to see.

That's what Kakashi is like.

Although he was in the same place with a dead person, he did not feel any fear or panic.

"Lin..."

As he recalled, Kakashi's thoughts began to wander.

If it is the Impure World Reincarnation, will Orochimaru summon other people?

For example, his father.

Thinking of this, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Minato-sensei, why are you hanging out with that traitorous ninja Orochimaru?"

……

The wind was rustling, and the Red Sand Scorpion was riding the Crimson Amber Puppet slowly along a small, sparsely traveled path.

Ever since Orochimaru left Akatsuki, Pain has never provided him with suitable teammates, and Scorpion has always been a one-man team.

"Have you figured it out?"

A cold voice came into his ears, and Uchiha Obito wearing a white mask suddenly appeared from the tree and appeared in Scorpion's sight.

After getting his eyes back, Obito changed his mask. His current mask is a white magatama mask.

In addition to revealing the eyes, there is also a hole on the forehead.

This is in preparation for retrieving the Rinnegan in the future.

In fact, Obito had a vague guess in his mind.

There are only a few women that Kakashi and Minato Namikaze care about at the same time.

Now he just wanted to get a definite answer from Scorpion of the Red Sand.

"I figured it out." Scorpion of the Red Sand said in a calm and hoarse voice.

"Yesterday, there was a battle at the Konoha cemetery. Minato Namikaze wanted to steal the body of the woman named Nohara Rin, but was stopped by Kakashi and other Konoha ninjas."

The face under the mask was cold, and with the activation of Kamui, Obito disappeared in front of Scorpion.

After he left, Scorpion couldn't help but laugh.

"It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes..."

……

In Konoha Village.

A man wearing a black robe with auspicious clouds on it stood in front of the Konoha cemetery.

The ground was in a mess, proving how fierce the battle was yesterday.

Obito's gaze swept towards the tombstones.

His name has been erased from the tomb that originally belonged to him.

As for Lin's grave, it was obviously looser than the other tombstones and showed signs of having been opened.

After standing quietly for a while, Obito walked forward and uncovered it.

There was no one in the coffin.

With murderous intent rising in his heart, Obito's robe fluttered in the wind.

Obito growled through gritted teeth, "Kakashi, you're a piece of shit."

There were two reasons why he did not take Lin's body away that year.

First, he knew that Rin loved Konoha, was willing for Konoha to sacrifice, and was willing to be buried here after her death.

Secondly, because he is going to play the role of Uchiha Madara, he cannot reveal any flaws and cannot let people suspect that he is Uchiha Obito.

But now, he didn't have to pretend to be Uchiha Madara anymore, he could be himself.
