Obito Uchiha's Identity Is About to Be Exposed?

I slightly opened my eyes and all I could see were dark gray walls without any decoration.

The room was dark and empty except for a bed. Sasuke sat up and casually glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

"It's already five o'clock..."

It was unclear whether it was 5 a. m. or 5 p. m., but Sasuke hadn't gone out to see the sun in a long time.

"You're up?"

A majestic voice rang out, the space spun slightly, and Obito Uchiha air inside the hut.

Sasuke tugged at his collar, his eyes instantly activating the Three Tomoe Sharingan, and he looked at Obito coldly, saying, "What are you doing here?"

Obito leaned against the wall by the door and said calmly, "With your current strength, you should be able to kill Itachi."

Sasuke stared coldly at Obito, remaining silent.

Obito has many ninjutsu scrolls left behind by Madara Uchiha here. Sasuke has been training here all these years to enrich his ninjutsu knowledge.

Obito would occasionally give Sasuke some pointers.

However, Sasuke's relentless training wasn't solely for killing Itachi Uchiha. He had greater ambitions and responsibilities.

Obito scoffed, "Akatsuki has already begun its operation, and Naruto has returned to Konoha..."

Sasuke paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Is that so?"

"..."

"Okay! I understand!"

Sasuke didn't get much information from Hinata, but he knew that when the Akatsuki began collecting the Tailed Beasts, it meant that the plan had already started.

Whether it's for Itachi Uchiha or for the sake of the 'Uchiha' surname, Sasuke must obtain Itachi's eyes to become stronger.

Over the years, Sasuke has long since overcome his inner conflict and no longer resists transplanting Itachi's eyes.

Sasuke got out of bed, walked past Obito without looking to Obito side, pushed open the door and went out.

Obito didn't care. Sasuke was his most important pawn. With a little guidance, this avenger could do a lot for him.

The space spun again, Obito vanished without a trace.

"Do you think this is believable? It might be a trap!"

Hokage Building, Tsunade held a piece of intelligence and looked at Shizune, saying, "Sasuke, who disappeared for nearly two years, has reappeared... This might be an Akatsuki trap!"

"Hinata and the others reported earlier that the Masked Man recently joined Akatsuki was the one who rescued Sasuke in Konoha."

"Only..."

"Damn it! Kakashi has been bedridden for over a week!"

Finally, Tsunade slammed the intelligence report on the table with a loud bang.

Kakashi remained unconscious, preventing Tsunade from obtaining detailed information about him.

Shizune said with a worried look, "If Naruto finds out about Sasuke, he'll probably cause a ruckus again."

Tsunade picked up the crumpled report and read it carefully. "What exactly is that masked guy's purpose?"

Shizune frowned and said, "Lady Tsunade, you mean..."

Tsunade said in a deep voice, "The intelligence says that guy is the 'newest' member to join Akatsuki, and delaying Kakashi's Team's actions is his first mission."

"But if he was the one who rescued Sasuke back then, it means he's been active in the Shinobi World for a long time..."

"After Danzo, I received information from Root. That guy appeared on the Night of the Nine-Tails and on the night of the Uchiha Clan Extermination."

Shizune nodded slightly upon hearing this; she had also seen those intelligence reports.

Although the records are vague, it is certain that the mysterious Space-time ninjutsu appeared in Konoha more than once.

"Lady Tsunade!"

"Besides that, that guy must also have some connection with the Uchiha clan."

Shizune analyzed, "We learned from the ninjas of Naruto and Shikamaru's generation that, given Sasuke's personality, he would never rashly accept help from others."

"Furthermore, after you returned from the Kage Summit, you also mentioned that besides Itachi and Shisui, there is another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan in the Shinobi World!"

Tsunade frowned. "Shizune, you mean..."

Shizune nodded and said, "Could that guy be the hidden Mangekyo?"

Tsunade carefully recalled the intelligence she had gathered over the years.

Controlling the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha, annihilating the Uchiha clan, controlling the Fourth Mizukage Yagura manipulate Kirigakure, rescuing Sasuke...

If we connect all of this, there is no doubt that for the past fifteen years, a pair of Shinobi World Mangekyō Sharingan have been operating in the shadows, secretly manipulating the Shinobi World's power structure.

Sasuke is an avenger; the only thing he pursues now is power.

When Orochimaru could no longer give him power, he left Orochimaru.

It's conceivable that during the time Sasuke disappeared from the Shinobi World, he must have been training with the person who rescued him.

This alone is enough to prove that the person who rescued Sasuke back then was perhaps even stronger than Orochimaru.

And then, considering Sasuke's sudden surge in strength...

This might also be part of the Masked Man's secret plan, with the aim of taking control of Sasuke.

Perhaps Sasuke's return to Konoha for revenge was that guy's 'deposit' for Sasuke.

With a slight frown, Tsunade muttered to herself, "But judging from Hinata and the others' reports, that guy's strength isn't that great... but it's also possible that he's deliberately faking it."

"But if it were Madara Uchiha, he wouldn't stoop to doing that!"

Based on Tsunade's understanding of Madara Uchiha, even if he had lost his power at his peak, he would never deliberately pretend to be weak and say such ridiculous things.

"Unless..."

Suddenly looking up at Shizune, Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Perhaps that guy was just pushed to the forefront..."

Tsunade had always linked the 'Mangekyo' with 'Space-time ninjutsu', so the person who possesses both of these powers must be the big boss behind the Shinobi World, with extraordinary strength.

However, the Masked Man's behavior led Tsunade to overturn this conclusion.

The only remaining possibility is that the 'Mangekyo' and the 'Space-time ninjutsu' are two completely different people.

One remains behind the scenes, while the other is thrust into the spotlight.

Or perhaps there is another possibility.

Tsunade thought to herself, "Although there's a high chance that Madara Uchiha is still alive, if he's dead, then the other pair of Mangekyou Mangekyo in the Shinobi World might be some hidden Uchiha clan member!"

Looking at the intelligence in his hand.

Sasuke appeared in the Shinobi World and is secretly investigating Itachi Uchiha's whereabouts.

Despite claiming it was a secret investigation, Sasuke acted arrogantly, using his Sharingan to interrogate people for any information, as if he didn't care about revealing his whereabouts.

That's why Tsunade had previously suspected it was a trap Akatsuki.

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade stood up and said, "Shizune, come with me to the hospital. Kakashi should be awake by now!"

"Oh, right..."

"And invite Hinata too, and Naruto as well!"

Shizune replied, "Yes!"
