Itachi Uchiha's Mission

Black Zetsu...

That finally hit the nail on the head.

When Black Zetsu suggested that Obito Uchiha two birds with one stone, Shirou Emiya breathed a sigh of relief. At least it seemed that he no longer needed to lead Hatake Team Kakashi to discover the Akatsuki Base.

Throughout the journey, he had been enduring Anko Mitarashi's clumsy actions, wishing he could personally pluck her hair and help her leave clues!

Result-

The journey was still fraught with difficulties.

Fortunately, everything gradually moved onto a controllable track under his covert indulgence, allowing Obito Uchiha to take charge of dealing with the trouble caused by these Konoha ninjas.

Speaking of which...

Black Zetsu's hatred for Obito Uchiha seems a bit excessive.

This certainly reflects the various behaviors that Shirou Emiya deliberately displayed in Ancient Era.

Back then, Shirou Emiya only wanted to play the role of a pawn who respected and trusted Black Zetsu was very capable, hoping that Black Zetsu, having experienced all of this, would subconsciously distance itself from and despise those arrogant, rude, and unreliable individuals.

Looking at it now...

It seems like you used a little too much force.

Black Zetsu truly wished for Obito Uchiha to suffer.

However·

Black Zetsu think so.

Black Zetsu even secretly started plotting something.

If Obito Uchiha were to be encountered by the Konoha ninja, he would undoubtedly become a target closely monitored Konoha them in the future.

They could also use Obito Uchiha, that useless guy, as bait, which could be considered making use of his remaining talents.

However, if Black Zetsu's plan had succeeded, Obito Uchiha was initially only emotionally dissatisfied, might have ended up losing control of his emotions afterwards. Fortunately...

Shirou Emiya has a pretty high EQ.

When it comes to manipulating others, Shirou Emiya is Black Zetsu, and he even shows great leniency towards his defeated opponent Obito Uchiha.

"Don't push Obito too hard."

Shirou Emiya casually offered a word of advice, the implication of which caught the eye of the White Zetsu beside him. "If Obito is unwilling to come here, I can personally deal with this Konoha team. This is not an order given to him."

"Yes."

White Zetsu this.

When Obito Uchiha twelve years old, Obito Uchiha was still a Konoha ninja. He was seriously injured in the war and was rescued by Madara Uchiha. It was Madara and his clone who took care of Obito Uchiha. They still liked that boy very much.

White Zetsu really didn't want to see a conflict between Obito Uchiha and Shirou Emiya, because it knew that if that happened, Obito Uchiha would definitely die.

Although...

Obito Uchiha will probably die sooner or later.

However, the White Zetsu itself and its White Zetsu Clone still hope that their fun can last a little longer.

"Besides-"

"Call that new guy over here."

Shirou Emiya resumed writing and drawing on the scroll, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "That newcomer named Uchiha, let Obito, who's in charge of monitoring newcomers, bring him along. I'll take this opportunity to see how strong he is—"

"Yes!"

White Zetsu quickly lowered his head and agreed.

The Rain Country.

Akatsuki Base.

Obito Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha are still here.

When these two finally arrived, they heard that the entire Akatsuki had discovered Konoha, the Orochimaru spy, and everyone wanted to get rid of Orochimaru.

This argument Obito Uchiha, who didn't care about Orochimaru's life or death; however, Itachi Uchiha was somewhat uneasy.

This kind of thing—

Why does that sound so familiar?

Itachi Uchiha suspected that Orochimaru was like him, missing-nin who had to defect from Konoha in name only, but in reality, they were spies protecting Konoha. Especially when a group of Akatsuki members said with certainty that Orochimaru might have been Shimura Danzo, everyone was eager to find an opportunity to kill Orochimaru.

Should I try to help in this situation?

Itachi Uchiha was deeply conflicted.

After all, he had just become a new member of the Akatsuki, and he shouldn't turn a blind eye to the suffering of his fellow villagers. He needed to find an opportunity to secretly investigate Orochimaru's whereabouts and see if he could help Orochimaru escape from the clutches of the Akatsuki.

However··

Itachi Uchiha's idea didn't even last a day.

Because Itachi Uchiha soon heard a second piece of incredibly good news: the Akatsuki planned to make Orochimaru a spy planted in Konoha Village and among Shimura Danzo.

"Should I kill Lord Orochimaru?"

When Itachi Uchiha thought about this idea popping into his head, he couldn't help but doubt his own strength and his methods of handling things.

Although Itachi Uchiha believed he already possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, Orochimaru was one of the legendary Legendary Sannin of Konoha!

Orochimaru made countless contributions to Konoha during the two Shinobi World War, and even almost became the Fourth Hokage of Miyō. He was definitely Konoha High Command's fighting force.

However, Itachi Uchiha quickly ran out of time to dwell on it.

Because the White Zetsu Clone has arrived.

This White Zetsu Clone was very aware of Obito Uchiha's little scheme. It did not mention that the order came from Black Zetsu, but rather that the information came from the original body.

"Lord Shirou is on his way back to the Akatsuki Base when he has been spotted by a Konoha ninja squad."

"Hmph, this old fogey really doesn't understand the ninja's meticulousness."

At this moment, Obito Uchiha was still venting his dissatisfaction with Shirou Emiya: "If you only have power, you may not be able to survive in this era."

"The captain of this squad is Kakashi Hatake."

The White Zetsu Clone informed Obito Uchiha of this information.

Obito Uchiha scratched his stray hairs.

In the past, in order to impersonate Madara Uchiha, he started growing a hairstyle similar to Madara Uchiha;

Unable to impersonate Madara Uchiha now, Obito Uchiha simply changed his long hair back to his preferred choppy style.

Not Kakashi Hatake?

Kakashi Hatake chasing Shirou Emiya?

Are all of Kakashi Hatake's teammates the Kage of the Five Great Villages? Who gave that idiot the audacity?

How dare they lead a team to pursue Shirou Emiya?

This is practically suicide!

"Hmph, that idiot."

Obito Uchiha's eyes darkened as he mentioned his former comrade.

Obito Uchiha recalled his time on a team with Kakashi Hatake, during which he always lost to him. But now, possessing the Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan, he realized he and Kakashi Hatake were no longer on the same level.

But·

Even now, he is unlikely to be a match for Shirou Emiya.

Even in the last battle, Shirou Emiya only managed to win by concealing the fact that he had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. However, Obito Uchiha knew that if they were to truly fight again, his chances of defeating Emiya Shigenori would still not be very high.

Battles between space-time sorcerers can often end in an instant.

Moreover, Emiya Tsuchihara also possesses the power of the Rinnegan. Even if Kakashi Hatake's teammates were replaced by the Kage of the Five Great Nations, they would still be unlikely to be a match for Shirou Emiya. This is definitely a death wish!

This kind of thing—

Are we just going to sit idly by and watch?

It wouldn't matter if Kakashi Hatake died without his knowledge, because that trash was too weak. Anyway, he had long since stopped caring about the past in Konoha. But now that he knew about it, Obito Uchiha his fingers. He remembered what the Infinite Tsukuyomi world he had fantasized about countless times was like. It was the future or past he had truly dreamed of.

In that dream world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, Kakashi Hatake must still be a genius teammate Obito Uchiha, and the two of them must still be companions who could entrust their lives to each other.

In that dream world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, Rin Nohara, whom he has always deeply loved, will no longer be affected by the misery of the real world. She will always be by his side in that world, comforting him when he loses to Kakashi Hatake in ninja training, saying that he has tried his best, and praising his rapid progress when he defeats Kakashi Hatake.

Before arriving in the dream world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, should I pay attention to the crisis that Kakashi Hatake is about to face?

"Do you need me to help him with this?"

Obito Uchiha sat up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the White Zetsu Clone before quickly shifting away. His expression cold as he repeated his message: "Do you need me to help Shirou Emiya deal with that Kakashi Hatake's troubles?"

Obito Uchiha still wore an air of arrogance, his eyes narrowing slightly as if searching for justification for his actions. "Shirou Emiya probably doesn't understand how sophisticated the pursuit methods of ninjas in this era are, does he?"

"Hmph, even if he kills that Kakashi Hatake, more Konoha ninja will follow the trail he left behind. Perhaps by then, we won't even have time to capture the Tailed Beast before we have to go to war with Konoha."

"Yes-"

The White Zetsu Clone quickly nodded and seized the opportunity to speak, "We're worried about this too! Although Lord Shirou could handle that Konoha team himself, we request that Lord Shirou let someone more familiar with the ways of ninjas in this era deal with it—"

"I see."

Obito Uchiha his fists, a space-time Uzumaki flashed in his eyes, and his figure was about to disappear from the spot.

"Etc!"

The White Zetsu Clone quickly stopped Obito Uchiha, whispering a reminder: "If you're going, Lord Shirou's orders are to bring that newcomer, Itachi Uchiha. He wants to observe that newcomer more closely—"

"Snort."

"Unnecessary."

Obito Uchiha couldn't help but express some disdain.

Although Obito Uchiha believed he could handle everything, he couldn't disobey Shirou Emiya's orders for the time being, so he had no choice but to take the Uchiha with him on the mission.

"Shirou Emiya has run into trouble."

"Let's go and clean up his tail."

"Will that person also encounter trouble?"

Itachi Uchiha couldn't quite guess what kind of trouble the other party would encounter.

"A Konoha squad discovered his trail."

As Obito Uchiha spoke, he also observed Itachi Uchiha's facial expression. "Let's go and take care of him."

"With his strength—"

Itachi Uchiha's eyes narrowed slightly, feigning confusion. "Did Konoha send out powerful personnel?"

"No...""

With a disdainful look, Obito Uchiha told Itachi Uchiha that Shirou Emiya Shigenori was not familiar with the ways of ninjas in this era, "He was caught up on his way back and has been unable to shake off the pursuit. Our goal is to help him escape the pursuit of the Konoha ninjas—"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha nodded slowly.

For thirteen-year-old Itachi Uchiha, he did not want to start killing Konoha people for no reason right after defecting, as this might affect his rapport with Konoha.

Fortunately.

If it's just this kind of ending, it wouldn't be a troublesome problem for him.

As a former captain of the Anbu of Konoha, Itachi Uchiha was quite skilled at cleaning up the traces left behind by ninja operations, and this operation was practically a waste of his talents.

Let's go.

When Obito Uchiha left with Itachi Uchiha, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly took out a mask and put it on his face.

Although-

His identity within the Akatsuki was no secret.

However, Obito Uchiha still didn't want Kakashi Hatake to know about this, because he knew that if Kakashi found out, it would definitely bring him endless trouble.

Unsurprisingly.

Obito Uchiha's act of appearing wearing a mask immediately drew ridicule from Black Zetsu.

"Obito"

"Do you still want to hide your past from your old friends?"

"Just to avoid unnecessary trouble—"

Obito Uchiha's eyes were icy. He knew Black Zetsu was definitely unhappy with him, and he immediately retorted, "Compared to that, your rash actions attracting Konoha's attention is even less serious."

"You bastard!"

Black Zetsu's eyes suddenly turned dangerous.

"Alright."

Shirou Emiya stopped their bickering and looked at Obito Uchiha, continuing, "The rest is up to you."

After saying that, Shirou Emiya produced two scrolls and tossed them to Obito Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha respectively. "These contain the Flying Thunder God Seal. If anything happens to you, I will intervene."

"Unnecessary."

Obito Uchiha a disdainful snort and tossed the scroll back, completely disregarding Shirou Emiya's guarantee of safety.

Snort!

He's just Kakashi Hatake.

Is he still the same person he used to be?

A space-time Uzumaki appeared in Obito Uchiha's right eye, quickly sucking his figure into it and using a space-time technique to teleport him towards the direction of the Konoha ninja!

"I'll go keep an eye on him!"

Jue's figure quietly followed.

Itachi Uchiha accepted the Flying Thunder God Seal, because unlike Obito Uchiha, he didn't dare to go against Shirou Emiya's wishes, and he also had to avoid arousing Shirou Emiya's suspicion.

Of course, Uchiha already planned to find an opportunity to destroy the scroll carrying the Flying Thunder God Seal during a battle, as he didn't want a Tsuchihara Emiya to suddenly appear by his side at any moment.

But his thoughts seemed to have been guessed.

"You can find an opportunity to destroy that scroll."

Shirou Emiya sat calmly under the tree, his voice almost deathly still.

As imperceptible as a leaf falling in the wind. "However, I still suggest that you do so after you've finished reading, newcomers."
