Obito's figure disappeared without a trace, looking rather disheveled.
Kakashi's outstretched arm fell limply to his side, and he could only watch helplessly as the man left, his expression complex and sorrowful, remaining motionless for a long time.
……
Yuyin Village.
Jue waited quietly.
Not much time had passed, but Jue had already begun to impatiently weigh whether to continue this seemingly meaningless wait.
"Obito...?"
He muttered to himself, a flicker of anxiety in his eyes.
Before the words were even finished, the air in the center of the room suddenly rippled with familiar distortions.
"came back!"
Black Zetsu was overjoyed, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was immediately relieved.
It seems that it was just a false alarm. Obito returned so quickly, so there was probably nothing unexpected that happened. Madara's influence is still there.
However, the next moment, when Obito's figure completely stepped out of the spatial vortex, Zetsu's smile suddenly froze.
After Obito landed, he didn't stand firmly as usual. Instead, his feet wobbled, and he almost fell over.
He reached out and grabbed the wall next to him to steady himself.
At this moment, Obito was slightly hunched over, as if he were carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Beneath his long black robe, his body was trembling slightly, as if even standing firm was extremely difficult.
"Obito?!"
Black Zetsu was shocked to see this and rushed forward, asking incredulously, "What's wrong? What happened?!"
Obito, who had just left perfectly fine, now looked extremely unwell.
They don't look like anything's wrong at all!
Obito turned around abruptly upon hearing the sound!
Even through the mask, Zetsu still felt a chill run down his spine. He could clearly see that Obito's only exposed eye was radiating a terrifying and icy killing intent!
His sharp, dangerous gaze seemed to pierce right through Jue Sheng!
Startled by the sudden murderous aura, Black Zetsu instinctively took a half-step back. Then, feeling embarrassed, he angrily said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you now?! What happened?!"
He never expected that Obito, who had only been in Konoha for a few minutes, would return as if he were a completely different person.
Obito did not answer immediately.
He stared intently at Black Zetsu, as if he were suppressing some emotion.
A few seconds later, Obito closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The cold, damp air rushed into his lungs, calming his chaotic thoughts slightly.
"……fine."
Obito slowly opened his mouth, and when he opened his eyes again, the chilling killing intent in his eyes had subsided by most of it, but his voice was terribly hoarse and low.
He stared at Black Jue for a moment, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
That enigmatic gaze made Black Zetsu's heart skip a beat.
In just a few minutes, what exactly did this guy go through in Konoha?
Why did you look at me like that after you came back?
"let's go."
Obito suddenly looked away, his voice returning to its usual calm, without the slightest hint of emotion.
He slowly straightened up and said calmly, "It's time to set off."
As soon as he finished speaking, Obito strode towards the door.
His back to Black Zetsu seemed no different from usual, but for some reason, Black Zetsu sensed an indescribable solemnity and danger emanating from him.
Black Zetsu stood there, filled with questions and confusion.
"This is really... inexplicable!"
……
time flies.
Night soon fell again.
Everyone drifted off to sleep.
When Danzo opened his eyes again, he found himself on the edge of an unfamiliar training ground.
Danzo looked around and saw that the vast training ground was paved with compacted yellow earth. Several rows of wooden stakes for throwing practice stood neatly at the edge of the field, and each stake was densely covered with marks left by shuriken and kunai.
The most eye-catching thing around them was the flags flying high.
The flags, each positioned at one of the four corners of the field, were decorated with the red and white fan-shaped crests symbolizing the Uchiha clan, and fluttered in the breeze.
"The Uchiha clan's training grounds..."
Danzo looked around, a knowing glint in his eyes.
Needless to say, this spacious training ground must belong to the Uchiha clan.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and focused his attention on the center of the field.
There, two boys, around ten years old, were practicing intensely.
One of them had short, jet-black hair, and his youthful face vaguely resembled Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He moved nimbly, using fire-style ninjutsu and shuriken techniques that were not yet very skillful, and his moves still showed signs of immaturity.
But his opponent is not easy to deal with.
Another black-haired boy had striking three-tomoe Sharingan eyes, and he could anticipate and counter every attack by mimicking the same moves.
It was Uchiha Kagami.
"Hmph... two chickens pecking at each other."
Danzo snorted indifferently from the sidelines, his eyes full of contempt.
He glanced at the two sparring partners casually before turning his gaze away dismissively.
To him, the two kids' moves were full of flaws, like children playing house, and extremely boring.
With this level of strength, you're not even worthy of being my sparring partner!
Those two pieces of trash are not even half as good as me!
A sense of superiority, as if looking down on someone, arose spontaneously in Danzo's heart.
However, just as Danzo was feeling extremely bored and almost wanted to sneer out loud, the light at the entrance to the training ground suddenly dimmed.
Immediately following, accompanied by two steady footsteps, two figures stepped into the training field one after the other.
In an instant, an invisible sense of oppression swept across the entire venue like a tidal wave!
Leading the way was a tall and slender young man.
He wore a dark-colored traditional Uchiha clan undergarment, covered by a simple ninja armor.
Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders, with a few strands falling across her forehead and swaying slightly with her steps.
He was handsome, yet had sharp features, and possessed a profound and imposing presence at a young age.
With just a casual glance around the room, he naturally exuded the aura of a superior, inspiring awe and respect in everyone.
Madara Uchiha, the First Hokage!
Danzo recognized the person almost instantly.
Half a step behind Ban was another young man.
The young man bears some resemblance to the freckled man, except that his facial features are softer, his eyes are much clearer, and he has a gentle smile on his face.
His teacher was naturally Uchiha Izuna!
The appearance of Madara and Izuna suddenly changed the atmosphere of the entire training ground.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha, who were locked in a fierce battle, stopped their movements almost simultaneously.
The two boys exchanged a glance, then quickly stood at attention, their faces showing reverence and admiration, and shouted in unison, "Lord Madara! Lord Izuna!"
Danzo, who was standing not far from the sidelines, suddenly straightened his body. His originally calm and composed breathing became rapid in an instant, and his eyes burst with undisguised fanaticism!
The Will of Fire is overwhelming...
At that moment, Danzo seemed to feel his blood surging and burning.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Chapter 256 Preparations for Summoning Uchiha Madara [First Hokage]
Under Danzo's almost fanatical gaze, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna walked towards him side by side.
The empty training ground was completely silent.
Dust billowed and smoke filled the center of the spacious training ground, with several broken wooden stakes scattered around, clearly indicating that intense training had just taken place.
The two walked at a leisurely pace, yet an invisible pressure was palpable.
Upon seeing the two, Danzo immediately stepped forward excitedly and respectfully greeted them: "Izuna-sensei! Hokage-sama!"
He was filled with awe, his voice was exceptionally loud, and he was very energetic.
……
In the shadows behind the audience seats.
Shi Yu looked at the carefully selected audience and felt a little regretful.
The audience this time was still Madara Uchiha, along with Black Zetsu hidden in Madara's sleeve, Obito, Itachi, Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Kakashi.
