To Kabuto's disbelief, he had been ensnared by Izanami from the very beginning.
He has killed Uchiha Itachi hundreds of times in the cycle of reincarnation, each time starting anew.
But if he can't resolve the knot in his heart, he will never wake up.
[Obito: Itachi? That's too strong! Why is he only ranked sixteenth?]
[Mitokado Homura: The power of the Uchiha Clan is simply too great.]
[Obito: I'm already starting to imagine what I 'Susanoo in the future.]
[Kakashi: Obito, you forgot again, you sent the future version, but it didn't look like you had activated Susanoo.]
[Obito: I'm talking about the future in reality, Kakashi, can't you say something positive?]
The elders, including the Hokage's assistant, were now extremely uneasy, even though they had previously advocated targeting the Uchiha Clan.
Now that they know the Uchiha Clan possesses such powerful Ninjutsu, they need to consider whether they might be attacked from behind.
Suddenly, many more people are Sharingan, so the Uchiha Clan needs to be careful.
[Minato Namikaze: In any case, as long as things haven't happened yet, there's always a chance for things to turn around.]
[Jiraiya: Indeed, if Minato had become Hokage, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.]
Although Jiraiya didn't say it explicitly, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew he was being told that he was a very incompetent Hokage.
It seems I need to consider the matter of Fourth Hokage.
Meanwhile, Dou's review also came to an end.
"Hey, Obito, did you hear? We seem to have a mission lately." Kakashi tried to get Obito to talk to him.
It seems I went too far with my joke, but I really didn't mean any harm.
Upon hearing about the mission, Obito became incredibly excited. Minato-sensei had previously refused to let Team 7 participate in missions, even though Obito was now Jonin. Why was Minato-sensei so worried?
"What kind of mission is it?" Obito immediately became interested, completely forgetting the joke Kakashi had made to him earlier.
Lin also turned her head curiously, wondering what kind of mission it was.
At this moment, Kakashi slowly explained to the two of them.
Previously, Might Guy's squad was responsible for patrolling the outskirts of Konoha, but recently, due to a shortage of manpower, the village plans to send another squad to assist Might Guy and his team.
"Is that the watermelon-headed guy?" Obito immediately remembered him; after all, Might Guy had kicked him hard back then, and Obito still remembered it.
"Yes, this is a good opportunity for us to leave the village."
It has to be said that this was very attractive to Obito. He had hardly ever left the village, so it was clear that the outside world was very appealing.
"But will Minato-sensei agree?" Lin hesitated. Previously, Minato-sensei had not allowed them to carry out any dangerous missions in order to prevent accidents from happening to them.
Minato was also concerned for his disciple; he really didn't want his disciple to die young like in the storyline.
As for whether anyone will have any objections, I think probably no one would want to offend the Yellow Flash, who was at the height of his power during the Third Shinobi World War.
"Don't worry, I've already gotten Minato-sensei's approval. He also thinks we should practice our combat skills."
Kakashi explained.
Besides, it's just a peripheral mission; how could anything unexpected happen?
Moreover, with Might Guy's men around, carrying out a patrol mission couldn't be easier.
Upon hearing this news, Obito was so excited he almost jumped for joy. He had been bored in the village for so long, and now he finally had the chance to see the outside world.
Lin rarely showed such excitement; after all, who wouldn't want to see the scenery outside?
"If there are no problems, we'll need to set off with Might Guy and the others tomorrow." Kakashi took out the mission scroll he had received.
"Okay, I definitely want to challenge Watermelon Head to a duel then."
Obito is now full of confidence, relying on his Mangekyō Sharingan and his Jonin -level Chakra.
Tell me how you can lose at hitting a watermelon head? I can't even think of a reason to lose, okay?
Meanwhile, near the border of Konoha.
"Don't worry, it's just an infiltration mission. With all seven of us deployed, there's no chance of us losing." Juzo Biwa kept stroking his Kubikiribōchō.
He seemed dismissive of Suikazan Fuguki's overly concerned behavior.
At your age, you've lived a life of misery; a simple infiltration mission can scare you this much.
"It's not fear, I just feel a little uneasy," the Fuguki Suikazan explained.
I've had this feeling ever since I left the village; Hozuki Mangetsu's gaze when he saw me off seemed a little off.
But I can't figure out what's going on. I'm not very familiar with Hozuki Mangetsu either.
Suppressing his unease for the moment, he glanced back at his teammates.
The group, including Juzo Biwa, Kushimaru Kuriarare, Jinin Akebino Munashi Jinpachi, Raiga Kurosuki, each possessed strength comparable to that of Elite Jonin.
The Fuguki Suikazan couldn't understand how it could have lost.
Of course, those who have this kind of thinking probably won't have a good ending.
"Tch, if you ask me, we should hurry up and finish the mission. Maybe we can be back in Kirigakure by the next day." Raiga Kurosuki was very confident about this mission. Although he didn't know why the Fourth Mizukage would assign them such a task, he knew that making the most of the time was always the right thing to do.
Anyway, the village is in chaos, with constant conflicts between various factions, so it's better to come out on a mission where there's some peace and quiet.
None of them had ever imagined that they would be defeated here. Everyone was focused on the Inventory System, so no one would have thought that someone would secretly infiltrate Konoha.
"I can't wait for my greatsword to absorb the enemy's blood." Juzo Biwa still had that somewhat abnormal look on his face.
To be fair, the current Juzo Biwa is not as melancholic as he was when he joined Akatsuki. Back then, Juzo Biwa was like a philosopher; now he's just a madman who craves to kill.
The next day, the already assembled Team 7 was ready.
They were unaware of the dangers that awaited them ahead, and since the mission was not particularly difficult, Minato Namikaze did not accompany them.
It's just a mission on the outskirts of Konoha, and with Might Guy and his class also there, nothing should go wrong unless there are special circumstances.
"Kakashi, where's the watermelon head?" Obito asked impatiently.
It seems Obito really wants to spar with Might Guy again.
"Idiot, didn't I tell you? Might Guy are already waiting for us at the destination." Kakashi glanced at them.
You forgot the news you just said yesterday, Obito. That's so typical of you.
Obito scratched his head sheepishly; hadn't he gotten a little too excited?
