Something White is Emerging From You

Uchiha Clan Compound.

"Damn it, why don't I have a jonin as my squad leader? Is my talent not good enough? But being in the same team as Rin is enough!"

Obito held his head, sometimes grinning foolishly, sometimes looking utterly indignant.

Even a guy like Gen'ichi gets a jonin as his squad leader, so why don't I?!

"Ah, Grandma, why are you up so early! You shouldn't move around when your health isn't good!"

Obito cried out, rushing over to help his only living relative.

Grandma looked kind and relieved: "These old bones of mine, I just hope I can see you a bit more before I die... Looking at your expression, did you get together with Rin? That girl is good, you must cherish her with your life, protect her with your life..."

"Ah! Why are you talking like that, you're still young! And of course, I'll protect Rin with my life!"

The old and the young, leaning on each other as they walked, their shadows merging into one, stretching long and slender in the setting sun.

This scene played out every single day.

And no one thought anything was wrong.

Only Obito, carefree and oblivious, subconsciously felt that what Grandma said today was a bit strange, but with his intelligence, he couldn't figure it out at all, so he simply didn't dwell on it.

He just needed to cherish the present.

"Hehehe, Obito, what a good child..."

After Obito went inside.

Grandma narrowed her eyes and looked up, her mouth splitting into a terrifying smile. Then, sensing something, she quickly disappeared and turned her head to look.

Gen'ichi's three-person squad happened to be passing by.

"Gen'ichi-san, did you notice anything just now?" Ichie whispered after they had walked further away.

"No, she's a very trustworthy old lady..."

Gen'ichi lowered his head, smiling.

"That's Obito's grandma, a very kind person, there won't be any problems," Kai said.

After the three of them walked away.

Grandma closed the door with a smile, her body began to distort, separating into a white substance.

This white substance quickly merged into the ground.

"Lord Madara, things are going smoother than expected. If that guy loses his grandma and lover one after the other, he'll probably go crazy, you're truly cruel."

White Zetsu emerged from the ground.

"Shut your mouth, you are merely a poor replica of Hashirama."

Madara Uchiha spoke coldly.

"Oh dear, so fierce... But, Lord Madara, are you really so optimistic about that dead last, Obito? I think Ichie is more suitable, she awakened her Sharingan at ten, and Ichie also has a younger sister, perfect for cultivating the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

White Zetsu looked puzzled.

Why Obito? Why not Uchiha's rising star, Ichie? Maybe we could even get another pair of Rinnegan...

"At my level, the Eternal Mangekyo can no longer change the overall situation. What I need is a tyrant who will carry out my will, someone with emotions far exceeding the average person, yet who has experienced the pain of repeated loss. I searched for decades before finding Obito, he will be the most suitable candidate."

Madara sneered.

Obito was the one he had carefully chosen.

Among the entire Uchiha Clan, while many were good at showing off, there were very few who possessed the abundant emotions that Obito had.

"However, Uchiha Ichie... we can pay some attention to her. Did you plant a White Zetsu Spore on her?"

"Of course, I already made my move when we brushed past each other just now. Lord Madara, I'm almost a master of disguise, I've been deceiving since I was born..." White Zetsu chuckled innocently.

Lord Madara said sternly: "This time, I will move personally to make Obito feel the pain of losing a loved one up close!"

"Huh? But, you're almost dead, can you leave the Outer Path Demonic Statue and go to Konoha?"

Madara didn't speak but directly began to make hand signs.

Ninja Art: Body Replacement Technique!

An innocent White Zetsu who was standing nearby watching the commotion immediately let out a tragic scream, his entire body covered in endless dust.

The next moment, he transformed into an aged Madara Uchiha.

"Can't even bear one-tenth of my Chakra in this aged state..."

The Body Replacement Madara shook his head, having lost the Rinnegan, activating this Rinnegan Dojutsu was extremely difficult.

But never mind.

The Body Replacement Madara instantly disappeared from the spot.

Uchiha Clan Compound.

As the three of them walked, Gen'ichi naturally felt the scrutinizing gazes of many Uchiha clan members. But when the numerous Uchiha clan members saw that he was Ichie's teammate, their gazes immediately softened.

Oh, a companion of the Uchiha's strongest genius of the new generation? Then there's no problem.

"Looks like it's safe for now..."

Gen'ichi silently calculated, letting out a slight sigh of relief.

He already knew the fate that awaited Obito.

Grandma and Rin were arguably the two people Obito loved most. Using their deaths to stimulate Obito was indeed a good method.

He just hadn't expected Madara to start laying the groundwork so early.

But none of this had anything to do with Gen'ichi, and he wasn't going to expose it.

"Big sister, who are they~"

"Are you little Izumi? I'm your sister's teammate and your friend."

"No, no~ My only friend right now is Itachi~"

Upon arriving at Ichie's house, Gen'ichi saw the adorable Izumi, but before he could say much, Ichie dragged him away.

"Gen'ichi-san, quickly give it to me..."

"Do you really want it now?"

"Of course, I can't wait..."

"???"

Kai was full of questions, looking at Ichie for a moment, then at his respected Gen'ichi-san.

"Kai, go guard the door."

Gen'ichi stared at Ichie for two seconds, was silent for a moment, and began to form hand seals.

Radiation Absorption Technique!

Gen'ichi's palm was immediately filled with a cloud of radiation invisible to the naked eye, and then he slapped it towards Ichie.

Slap!

The copious radiation, the moment it touched Ichie, began to stimulate her body, directly affecting her genes.

After multiple attempts, the two finally found a suitable dosage between them.

"Yes, this is the feeling. My Dojutsu Power is surging. I can feel myself getting stronger..."

Ichie trembled all over.

This was the feeling of power.

Only this kind of intense stimulation to her body could make her feel different and give her the possibility of breaking free from a mediocre path.

"My Bloodline Ability is very dangerous. You have to be prepared."

Gen'ichi said, observing Ichie's condition.

If she were exposed to this level of radiation year after year, Ichie's fate would be more tragic than death.

Unless... during the mutation process, Ichie's positive gains could exceed the negative mutations.

"Ichie, my prediction was right. You are a genius, a true genius," Gen'ichi praised.

It seemed all of Ichie's talent was concentrated in enduring intense stimulation to forcibly enhance her potential.

However...

"Ichie, something strange is emerging from your body, something white."

Gen'ichi pointed with a serious expression at the White Zetsu emerging from Ichie's body.
