Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

Nagato looked at Obito and responded calmly, but the latter only left a laugh. As a vortex appeared in front of the two of them, Obito disappeared again.

Osamu Furukawa's spirit witnessed everything through Konan's body. At this moment, he was secretly calculating the speed of Kamui. The more times Obito used it in front of the two of them, the more accurate the calculation would be.

"How exactly should this power be restrained?"

“Nagato, I still don’t trust him. If he can control the Mizukage, he can control us too.”

Konan looked at her friend with a worried expression, but Nagato didn't respond. He turned and slowly walked away, muttering to himself only after he was far away from Konan:

"Yahiko, I will make the Konoha ninja feel our pain!"

After Obito transferred to his own Kamui dimension, White Zetsu slowly opened the "mask" on his face. It knew the boy's feelings at this moment, so it remained silent.

In the desolate space stood rows of square prisms. Obito arrived at a towering spot, looked at the inscription of Nohara Rin on it, and slowly sat down on the ground:

"Lin, once the Rinnegan user masters the Six Paths Technique, the plan can officially begin."

"I don't know if anyone in the village still remembers us, but it doesn't matter anymore."

"A false and hopeless world should be ended."

"What does the Fourth Hokage have to do with us? Come to think of it, we've all been deceived by Osamu Furukawa. Perhaps he also harbors hidden ambitions."

The possessed White Zetsu couldn't help but remind Obito in a comical voice:

"It's not ambition, it's the will of the Senju clan. Lord Madara has said it many times: Osamu Furukawa was influenced by Tobirama Senju..."

"I don't care about the Senju clan. Since he's a fraud, let him meet his end along with that world!"

Obito raised his voice and said angrily that he had no interest in carrying out Madara Uchiha's entire plan.

More importantly, seeing the old man's fate, even after his transformation, Obito still felt a lingering fear, which is why he deliberately avoided his previous plans.

He hasn't seen Lin in the new world yet, so he can't die.

Bai Jue responded, then reminded him again:

"According to information obtained from Danzo, the Uchiha clan is relocating, and they seem to be able to integrate into the village better."

"Danzo seems to be very dissatisfied with this. He has been sending us messages recently, saying that he is willing to help in hunting for Sharingan."

Obito was lost in his memories again. If he were still in Konoha, he might have been happy to hear this news:

"Don't worry about that cowardly old man. I can still complete the plan without him."

"Continue to gather information about the Nine-Tails. I need to make Nagato believe in the plan without reservation."

Ignoring White Zetsu's complaints, Obito fell silent after speaking, staring at Rin Nohara's tombstone for a long while before muttering to himself:

"Minato-sensei, will you still remember me?"

-

After the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure took office, Konoha secretly increased its defenses in the eastern part of the Land of Fire.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, no battles occurred near the coastline, and internal strife suddenly broke out in Kirigakure again...

Although the specific details could not be confirmed, the information relayed back by intelligence personnel indicated that it was related to Suigetsu Hobutsuki and others.

Although the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are missing two members, the remaining members are still capable of causing trouble. They repeatedly interfered during the Mizukage election, and this rebellion was premeditated.

In a "corner" undetectable to Konoha's intelligence personnel, Mei Terumi and Kisame Hoshigaki, powerful subordinates of Suigetsu Hozuki, have quietly joined forces.

Late at night, the fog still shrouded most of the buildings in Kirigakure. Beneath the bridge, Kisame Hoshigaki waited with his arms crossed for a while. When the girl appeared wearing a mask, he said sarcastically:

"I thought you had died at the hands of the reformers! You're so late."

"Ugly guy, stop talking nonsense. If it weren't for the village, I wouldn't be interested in joining forces with you."

Behind the mask, Mei Terumi rolled her eyes; Kisame's appearance simply didn't fit her aesthetic.

Hearing the girl's mockery, Kisame didn't take it to heart. He grinned, revealing a set of sharp fangs, and responded with self-deprecating humor:

"Ninjas who betray their superiors will not have a good end!"

"We are all destined to die a terrible death in the future. This is the fate of ninjas, and no one can escape it."

Mei Terumi said the same thing to Osamu Furukawa, seeing the utterly hopeless look on Kisame's face, and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Kill all the people who know the inside story, and then no one will know about our betrayal!"

"Many people probably don't know that you and I are close confidants of Suigetsu Fuguki. In this respect, we really have to thank the system of secrecy."

Kisame had witnessed Mei Terumi's rampage many times; melting half of her village comrades' bodies was just routine for her. He always felt that she had become twisted.

"You're insane! How many people would die?"

Seeing Mei Terumi wave her hand, Kisame's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to press for answers:

"Are you really going to kill all of Suigetsu Hozuki's subordinates?"

“It’s not just him; anyone among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who knows me is going to die. The Fourth Mizukage would definitely be happy to see this happen.”

Mei Terumi burst out laughing at the end, mocking the village's system, but Kisame thought the girl had gone mad...

Just as the two were about to leave, Furukawa Osamu's spirit suddenly issued a warning.

Mei Terumi immediately sensed the four strands of chakra and realized she was being followed, but she showed no signs of nervousness.

"Seeing how timid and cowardly you are, tonight I'll let you witness my true power!"

Kisame sensed nothing and looked at the neurotic Mei Terumi with a puzzled expression. Suddenly, he noticed that the girl's hair and skin had changed color, and the chakra he sensed was completely different from before.

"You...what kind of monster are you?!"

Black patterns appeared on her fair skin, and her orange-red hair turned bright red. Mei Terumi glared at Kisame, then suddenly jumped into the water and glided away at high speed!

The four who had tracked them down sped up their escape. Just as they jumped onto the rock wall, a thin, sharp stream of water swept over each of them.

"what..."

After the screams that rose and fell, the area near the bridge returned to silence.

Kisame, who was far away, could see clearly that Mei Terumi's ninjutsu was fast and far-reaching; with a flick of her head, the person was dead.

Having ended her pseudo-immortal transformation, Mei Terumi felt a constant yearning emanating from the cells of her body. After letting out a suppressed moan, she barely managed to control her emotions:

"Why do I feel an even stronger reaction to the evil forces?"

"This was all part of your plan, wasn't it? You've had your eye on my body for a long time..."

Upon hearing the question, Furukawa Osamu's spirit was somewhat speechless. The mutated spiritification technique was indeed somewhat evil, but the girl had definitely willingly accepted the transformation and was even enjoying it.

"This is only the first stage of power; the second stage requires the assistance of medication."

"After you kill Suigetsu Hozuki, try to become the Fourth Mizukage's subordinate."

"After a while, an external force will take control of him, and then you will understand that what I said is true."

When Kisame caught up, Mei Terumi reverted to her usual aloof demeanor. Seeing his hesitant and awkward expression, she simply turned away and said:

"Only by completing the revolution can the village be saved."

"After killing that traitor, you'll be using Samehada. Don't let me down..."

Chapter 139: Bearing Humiliation for the Village...

In early August, the Uchiha clan had completed part of their relocation without any unexpected incidents.

Despite having the Uchiha surname, many members of the clan do not possess ninja skills. After moving away from the clan's territory and returning to the village center, everyone seamlessly integrated into the new rhythm of life.

The Fourth Hokage, Tsunade, fulfilled her promise and treated all Uchiha members equally.

This magnanimity earned him fawning praise from many Konoha ninjas, but some were furious, with several retired veterans nearly jumping up and down in anger...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's retirement life was very fulfilling. He spent most of his time studying sealing techniques at the Ninja Academy and occasionally handling some school affairs.

After leaving get off work early and returning home, Hiruzen Sarutobi would discuss the changes in the village with his eldest son, and finally give him some pointers on ninjutsu.

Sarutobi Biwako is very satisfied with her husband's leisurely and regular life. If he could have retired earlier, their youngest son wouldn't have "run away from home"!

When Koharu and Homura Mitokado appeared at her home this morning, Biwako, though warmly welcoming, felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Old folks should enjoy their retirement!

-

Hiruzen Sarutobi greeted his old friend with a cheerful smile as he circled around him, making no mention of the Uchiha clan's migration.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xiaochun realized her old friend didn't want to discuss this topic, so she put down her teacup and solemnly reminded her:

"Hiruzen, don't forget Tobirama-sensei's will!"

"The reason why the Uchiha clan was put in charge of the guard duty was to prevent the reappearance of 'Madara's followers'."

"Now that they've dispersed and even the secret service has withdrawn, the village will be thrown into turmoil if anything goes wrong."

Seeing that his old friend remained silent, Mitokado Yan reluctantly adjusted his glasses and whispered a plea for dissuasion:

"Hiruzen, go and remind Tsunade not to let her guard down against the Uchiha clan."

"In the previous war, the Uchiha did contribute a great deal to the village, but they also gained even more power."

"The rate of Sharingan awakening is rising, which means that more members of the Uchiha clan have been stimulated by extreme emotions."

"It has nothing to do with nature; the power of this bloodline limit is inherently evil. As the Hokage, I must consider all aspects carefully."

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had a deep understanding of the Sharingan. His initial policies were not entirely based on prejudice; the Uchiha clan was indeed unstable.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also familiar with the Sharingan's bloodline limit. Hearing his old friend bring up the matter again, he chuckled twice and gave a brief reply:

"There's no need to take any more precautions. As long as Xiu stays by Tsunade's side, nothing will happen."

"Although the power of the bloodline limit is strong, it is not enough to threaten the Fourth Hokage."

"Times have changed. Don't forget about Minato. As long as we protect the Jinchūriki, the village will be fine."

The two advisors, forced to retire, looked at each other in bewilderment and tried to persuade him again, but Hiruzen Sarutobi kept repeating the same excuse.

After Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado left in disappointment, they both fell silent. Finally, Koharu Utatane whispered a suggestion:

"It seems we need to talk to Danzo. At this time, the power of the Root is extremely important."

...

Danzo was unaware that his two old friends were missing him. Since his life had been controlled by the evil Uchiha, he dared not get involved in too many Root affairs.

Unable to commit suicide or reveal intelligence, Danzo enjoyed the "treatment" of a Root ninja. Since Tsunade took office, he has become completely "isolated".

Ryoma Aburame vaguely sensed Danzo's problem and, after taking over Root's affairs, intentionally avoided exposing the village's confidential information.

Since this matter involved the Uchiha clan, Ryoma Aburame had no choice but to report it to Danzo.

Upon learning that the Uchiha clan had begun moving, Danzo's narrowed eyes widened in shock.

"Have the Anbu ninja abandoned their surveillance mission? Didn't Hiruzen suggest anything to Tsunade?"

Aburame Ryoma nodded, briefly explained the current situation, and finally bowed to Danzo for instructions:

"Lord Danzo, Root needs to replenish its personnel. Should the surveillance of the Uchiha clan be taken over by Root ninjas?"

Back in the Third Hokage's era, Danzo would have acted without hesitation, but times have changed. He squinted and thought for a while before finally whispering his orders:

"Contact the ninja clan and secretly replenish our forces."

"As for the surveillance issue, I will make arrangements later."

Sunglasses concealed the disappointment in Aburame Ryoma's eyes. He bowed again and left the room, the veteran Root member sighing forlornly:

"Lord Danzo is really failing..."

Huddled in the dark room, Danzo felt increasingly distressed. He had already agreed to join forces with the evil Uchiha clan, but they hadn't given him any concrete response.

Having completely lost power, and with even his laboratory seized by Orochimaru, Danzo could only console himself that Orochimaru was seeking a way to break the cursed seal, constantly encouraging himself in his heart:

"Everything is for the village!"

-

In two months, Tsunade fully adapted to the work of Hokage and gradually found time to relax from her busy schedule.

Without the Divine Tree's chakra to catalyze his transformation, Furukawa Osamu could only wait for Ashura's chakra to change his body. After being freed from his heavy workload, he tinkered with some interesting gadgets.

"Is this the prosthetic arm you developed? It just doesn't look like a human arm."

Tsunade looked at the "forearm" that Furukawa Osamu handed her, sensed it with her chakra, and couldn't help but comment in surprise:
