Chapter 238: How to deal with Uchihas?
How to Deal with an Uchiha?
For many ninjas in the ninja world, dealing with an Uchiha is a challenging problem.
However, for the Anbu Root division of Konoha, dealing with the Uchiha is a tradition.
Whether it's the first leader of Root, Danzo, or the second leader, Akihara Kagura, they are both adept at handling Uchihas, especially since there is a master of dealing with Uchihas within Root as well.
The Second Hokage of Konoha, Tobirama.
Root base.
Akihara Kagura and the four Hokages began to discuss the threat posed by Uchiha Obito, the man behind the Nine-Tails disturbance, who undoubtedly represents the biggest problem.
Of course.
This calls for a discussion of the roots of Uchiha Obito's rise.
And a man lurking behind Uchiha Obito.White Zetzu emerged from the ground; he would be the instructor for this lesson, teaching the four Hokages about the origins of Uchiha Obito.
"This is Zetzu."
Akihara Kagura pointed to Zetzu beside him and whispered, "Zetzu and I were both subordinates of Obito, and he understands Uchiha Obito very well…"
The four Hokages felt mixed emotions.
Uchiha Obito has you two as his subordinates; that seems a bit unlucky! However…
Uchiha Obito poses a threat to Konoha and caused the Nine-Tails disturbance, which they must eliminate. Akihara Kagura's desire to handle Uchiha Obito didn't feel out of place to them! "That kid Uchiha Obito…"
Tobirama had never met Uchiha Obito but spoke with a hint of scorn: "Do we even need to know his past? Just find his location and kill him."
"I suggest we understand a bit more…"
White Zetzu shook his head, laughing as he said, "After all, Uchiha Obito has become a rogue ninja of Konoha, and Mr. Tobirama has made quite a few mistakes too!"
Tobirama looked annoyed at Zetzu, then turned to Kagura: "Are you going to criticize my initial policies towards the Uchiha clan again?"
"No."
White Zetzu shook his head again, mentioning a person that made both Tobirama and Hashirama tremble: "The real mistake… was that you forgot to destroy Lord Madara's body."
"Madara…"
Hashirama's expression grew complicated.
"That guy Madara?"
Tobirama frowned, "Wasn't he killed by big brother during the battle at the Valley of the End?"
"From the beginning, the battle at the Valley of the End was a conspiracy."
White Zetzu looked at the brothers, chuckling as he spoke, "Because Lord Madara knew from the start that Tobirama wouldn't destroy his body but would keep it for research, so Lord Madara set up a transference seal within his Sharingan, devising a jutsu called Izanagi, which can turn his death into an illusion…"
"Remember this jutsu name well."
Kagura cut off White Zetzu's speech and took the initiative to explain, "Izanagi is a forbidden jutsu of the Uchiha clan, which can sacrifice the light of one Sharingan eye, allowing an Uchiha to negate unfavorable factors during combat and turn them into an illusion, preserving favorable elements…"
"That means, killing him won't do any good, right?"
Tobirama nodded, understanding the effects of the jutsu: "But after the jutsu ends, one Sharingan eye must be sacrificed…"
"That's right…"
Kagura nodded and continued, "But Uchiha Obito got at least a hundred Sharingan eyes on the night of the clan's massacre…"
The people present felt a chill, but quickly calmed down: "But he needs a safe surgery room to transplant eyes, right?"
"It's uncertain."
Kagura shrugged; he didn't fully understand the situation: "Uchiha Obito also transplanted cells from the First Hokage, so his healing speed shouldn't be slow, and perhaps directly removing a blinded eye and stuffing in a new one isn't entirely impossible…"
The four Hokages realized the true horror.
Because this way, they couldn't really be sure when Uchiha Obito used Izanagi, when he removed the blinded eye, and when he transplanted a new Sharingan as a sacrifice for Izanagi…
Dealing with just Izanagi is hard enough!
Not to mention, Uchiha Obito also possesses the most troublesome Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Keep talking about Madara."
Hashirama was more concerned about Uchiha Madara, speaking softly, "So you mean, Madara already knew he would lose, thus used Izanagi to escape death… then, why did Madara control the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha?"
"It was for a piece of your flesh."
White Zetzu chuckled, showing his Wood Release.
"Big brother's cells! Wood Release, huh?"
Tobirama immediately realized this and quickly thought about the use of Hashirama cells: "Not just for Wood Release? Big brother's cells must have other uses for him, possibly to enhance his Sharingan?"
That matter…
Tobirama had witnessed it himself!
Kagura used Hashirama cells to cultivate a group of Uchihas with dual Kekkei Genkai, indicating some connection between Hashirama cells and the Sharingan bloodline!
"You guessed right."
White Zetzu nodded, continuing, "But Hashirama cells are even more terrifying when combined with Lord Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan, as his Mangekyo Sharingan had eternal power. After transplanting Hashirama cells, Lord Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan finally evolved into a Rinnegan just before his death, and even the blinded Mangekyo was enhanced…"
"Rinnegan!"
Hashirama was somewhat shocked, suddenly realizing something.
Uchiha Madara had once invited him to see the Uchiha clan's stone tablet, allegedly left by the Sage of the Six Paths. When positive and negative forces are combined, they can unlock all creation!
At the time, Hashirama thought it meant that the Uchiha and Senju clans coming together could bring peace to the ninja world, but the stone tablet was literally just literal! "So you mean…"
Tobirama took a deep breath, speaking solemnly, "Madara wanted to transplant big brother's cells to activate his Mangekyo into a Rinnegan, so he started the battle at the Valley of the End, hid in the ninja world after the battle, and finally activated the Rinnegan…"
"That's right."
White Zetzu nodded, continuing the lesson for the four Hokages: "But time is fair to everyone, even if Lord Madara activated the Rinnegan, he would inevitably face death. For this, he needed a nurturing ground for the Rinnegan, and a contingency plan for his eventual revival…"
"That nurturing ground…"
Tobirama immediately thought of destroying the Rinnegan.
"Let's skip that problem."
Kagura passed over that issue, continuing, "Let's continue discussing Uchiha Obito! What we need to discuss now is Uchiha Obito."
"No problem, young man."
"The Rinnegan is not important, because it contains Lord Madara's chakra, no one can activate the real power of the Rinnegan. The most important thing is a person who can guide the Rinnegan."
White Zetzu said this, chuckling, "Uchiha Obito is the person chosen by Lord Madara, his life is like a tragedy, easily used by others, leading him astray…"
Minato furrowed his brow.
Because Uchiha Obito was his student.
White Zetzu cheerfully told the story he witnessed: "During the Kannabi Bridge battle, Uchiha Obito survived the war because Lord Madara saved him, and from then on, he became Madara's chosen tool…"
"To be able to activate the Mangekyo Sharingan, to make him completely despair about this world, Lord Madara manipulated the Mist Village, transplanted the Three-Tails into a ninja named Rin Nohara, and placed a curse in Rin's body to prevent her from committing suicide…"
Minato's pupils dilated uncontrollably! "So…"
Minato recalled his other, more unfortunate student, "At that time, did Kakashi have to kill Rin?"
"Yes, that wasn't the purpose."
White Zetzu nodded, continuing, "Lord Madara's real purpose was for Uchiha Obito to witness everything, to make him disillusioned with this war-ridden world, and to completely become the successor to Lord Madara's will…"
Minato closed his eyes, remembering the mysterious masked man, feeling a touch of sadness.
Three students…
All became tools of Uchiha Madara!
"Of course."
White Zetzu, mimicking Kagura, spread his hands, continuing, "Obito never thought this was wrong, he believed the world was at fault, even when Obito, while manipulating the Fourth Mizukage, guessed the truth, he still didn't think Lord Madara was wrong, Obito still believed the world was at fault…"
"He's not entirely wrong, it indeed is the world's fault…"
Kagura nodded, his tone shifting immediately, "But changing the world in such a way, leaving it in his hands isn't quite right, and certainly not in Uchiha Madara's hands…"
"Leaving it in your hands would be right, right?"
Tobirama glanced at Kagura.
"It's not impossible."
Kagura looked back at Tobirama.
Tobirama didn't want to deal with Kagura, speaking proactively, "Anyway, what's most important now is to kill that guy named Uchiha Obito, destroy those Rinnegan, and stop Uchiha Madara's revival…"
"But I can't participate."
Kagura refused Tobirama's suggestion, stating proactively, "The only support I can offer you is to declare that the Second Hokage has deciphered the Edo Tensei technique, allowing you to do this… I think my boss Uchiha Obito would understand my helplessness."
Tobirama felt a weight on his back.
This damn brat…
Not doing anything is one thing, but letting me take the blame?
"Don't look at me like that…"
Kagura spread his hands, reminding them, "This way I can also provide you with information about Uchiha Obito…"
"When you corner Uchiha Obito, perhaps he will bring Uchiha Madara's body to me, asking me to use the Edo Tensei to revive Madara, helping him avoid being hunted down?"
"Do you want to revive Madara?"
Hashirama felt a bit amused.
After so long, am I going to battle Madara again?
"Regardless, he will be revived."
Kagura shook his head; he needed to revive Uchiha Madara, just waiting for the right opportunity, he then asked, "But aren't you curious about what exactly Uchiha Madara painstakingly planned to do?"
"A bit…"
Hashirama nodded, the honest First Hokage really curious about what his former friend Uchiha Madara intended to do.
"Not curious, I just want to destroy his plans!"
Tobirama's face was stern, uninterested in Uchiha Madara, just wanting to thwart Madara's schemes: "Even if he is revived, we must kill him…"
"I agree."
"But before that, we need a little plan…"
"Like choosing a mastermind who knows everything; otherwise, it might expose me and Zetzu betraying them, both Zetzu and I are innocents, still wanting to live peacefully, not wanting to be involved in these old era battles…"
The expressions of the present Hokages became odd.
They all remembered Orochimaru, once considered the mastermind.
And…
The reason the old era is still fighting…
Isn't it because of the trouble you, the new era, caused?
"What plan?"
Tobirama was very rational, concerned about the outcome of the plan: "Who should be the mastermind, a mastermind to counter Madara, should we let big brother do it?"
"Eh?"
Hashirama was a bit excited.
"Big brother doesn't have the intelligence."
Tobirama looked at the excited Hashirama, negating his own suggestion: "Others don't seem suitable either, should I take the blame? What plan is needed?"
"Can I make the plan?"
White Zetzu looked excitedly at Kagura, and after seeing Kagura nod, he quickly shared his thoughts: "Hehehehe, then let me tell a story first…"
"Many years ago…"
"The battle at the Valley of the End was declared over, the First Hokage had died."
"The Second Hokage discovered that Lord Madara's body was missing, subtly covered up this secret, and during a covert investigation of the Uchiha clan, discovered the secret of Izanagi…"
"To prevent Lord Madara from returning, the Second Hokage, Tobirama, researched the Edo Tensei technique, hoping to revive his brother to counter Uchiha Madara…"
"However, a small problem occurred…"
"The Second Hokage had to sacrifice himself during the Great ninja War, and to avoid future mistakes, he instructed Lord Danzo before his death to research Hashirama cells, hoping to create someone capable of countering Uchiha Madara…"
"Wait…"
Kagura felt this story wasn't quite right, quickly stopping White Zetzu, frowning and saying, "Can we have something more normal? This makes the Second Hokage seem not evil enough; when Uchiha Madara is revived, he will laugh at him…"
"Not necessary!"
Tobirama's face was filled with annoyance.
Tobirama felt he didn't need to be evil at all, only the Uchiha clan was the most evil, like the always lurking Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito! "Anyway…"
Minato didn't want to argue with them; he only cared about the mission he was about to undertake: "We are now going to besiege Obito, until we force Obito to ask you to revive Uchiha Madara, right?"
"Yes."
"But not asking, rather commanding."
"Fourth Hokage, your student isn't very good at leadership, he likes to command when doing things, this is the worst leader I've seen…"
Kagura nodded, hiding his other thoughts: "Perhaps in the meantime, he will also command me to find a way to help him deal with being hunted down…"
"To ensure Obito doesn't suspect me and Zetzu, to continue passing his information to you four Hokages, your pursuit of my boss might need to be paused occasionally due to his asking for /Bleam
