Why Is There Always Someone Who Doesn't Want to Live? (Third Update!)
The Rice Country and the Rain Country are not far apart.
Itachi Uchiha quickly returned to Orochimaru's base and told Obito Uchiha in detail about Shirou Emiya to carry out the Akatsuki's plan.
It is obvious.
Obito Uchiha was in a bad mood.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, was in a good mood. He had just welcomed back Yakushi Kabuto, along with the group of children Yakushi Kabuto had adopted.
By the way
Orochimaru received even more good news.
For example, Shimura Danzo also allocated a sum of money for experiments.
For scientific experiments, which are almost a bottomless pit of expenses, any sum of money is a welcome surprise, Orochimaru was very satisfied with Yakushi Kabuto's actions.
Orochimaru even recruited Yakushi Kabuto into their cooperative team against Emiya Tsuchihara, because he believed that Yakushi Kabuto's intelligence could also be put to good use.
Inside Orochimaru's base.
Obito Uchiha sat in a chair, Itachi Uchiha leaned against the laboratory wall, Orochimaru leaned against the lab table, and Yakushi Kabuto stood next to Orochimaru.
Born in the same hometown
This group of people seemed to have different thoughts.
However, they seem to share a common goal at this time.
"You seem to be in a good mood, Orochimaru— "
Obito Uchiha looked at Orochimaru, and his expression immediately turned sour. He coldly stated the news he had received. "The news I just brought back is that the situation is worse than we thought. That guy will be starting his plan soon—"
"Our Time—"
"It's more urgent than we anticipated."
Obito Uchiha coldly stared at Orochimaru: "If you wait until his plan is implemented, you'll never be able to escape his control for the rest of your life..."
"Is that so?"
Orochimaru's snake-like eyes still held a hint of a smile.
Obito Uchiha, that guy...
Why did the Akatsuki come to discuss this with me as soon as they received the news?
In this world, even the closest partners, even in the most complex situations, need to delay a little to show that they are not in a hurry in the cooperation. Obito Uchiha really doesn't understand the basic principles of cooperation.
It looks like...
He's just a brat who hasn't grown up yet.
Even now, it seems that Obito Uchiha has not been able to change his foolish nature.
But-.
This kind of partner is the most desirable partner in the world.
As for the news brought back by the Uchiha, Orochimaru wasn't worried, because he only knew the part of the Akatsuki's plan he knew. "I remember, the plan was to collect the Tailed Beast and revive the Ten-Tails as a weapon of war."
"You don't understand the terror of the Ten-Tails."
Obito Uchiha glanced at Orochimaru, his attitude becoming subtly arrogant. "If the Ten-Tails truly revives, even if you use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha in their prime, it won't change the situation—."
In this respect Obito Uchiha did indeed have a sense of superiority.
Because among those present, only he knew Akatsuki's true plan after reviving the Ten-Tails, and only he knew the Ten-Tails' true purpose.
"If all else fails—"
Obito Uchiha took a deep breath and proposed his plan. "I can only try to kill an unimportant Tailed Beast to delay their resurrection of the Ten-Tails."
"While I've bought you some time, you'd better quickly gather enough corpses and revive enough ninjas to deal with Shirou Emiya— "
Itachi Uchiha remained silent.
Although he and Obito Uchiha are outwardly on the same side, he usually doesn't say much at this time.
They only gather intelligence in secret.
Yakushi Kabuto remained silent.
Because Yakushi Kabuto and Orochimaru are on the same side on the surface, it's just that this is the first time he's attending a meeting against Shirou Emiya, so he doesn't have much information and can only secretly help Shirou Emiya gather intelligence at this time.
"All right."
"I will use this time to perfect the Impure World Reincarnation as soon as possible."
After speaking, Orochimaru looked at Obito Uchiha and then stated his request. "At the same time, I also need a sufficient number of powerful corpses on hand."
"I can't help you with this."
Obito Uchiha was extremely averse to grave robbing, and he even had his reasons. "If I were to secretly engage in any underhanded activities and be discovered by Tsuchihara Emiya, Black Zetsu would definitely use that opportunity to instigate Shirou Emiya to kick me out of the Akatsuki— "
"Providing you with some cover is already the limit of what we can do."
When Obito Uchiha got to this point, he also looked at the Uchiha: "For us, too many of our actions will arouse Black Zetsu's suspicion."
"Itachi".
Obito Uchiha noticed Itachi Uchiha's thoughtful expression and suddenly asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"I'm thinking about what you're saying."
"In other words, we need to help that important figure find enough enemies—"
Itachi Uchiha lowered his head and began to speak of his plan, sounding nothing like a spy planted by Shirou Emiya, but rather more like someone on Obito Uchiha: "If we reveal Shirou Emiya's plan to some major ninja villages..."
Yakushi Kabuto unconsciously adjusted his glasses.
"No."
Obito Uchiha interrupted Itachi Uchiha because Shirou Emiya's plan was also his plan. He only wanted to eliminate Shirou Emiya, not to expose and destroy the Akatsuki's plan.
"Actually, it might not be impossible."
Yakushi Kabuto smiled, seemingly having his own opinion on the matter. "Shimura Danzo of Konoha must be very interested in news about Lord Shirou. Danzo's power is of little use."
Obito Uchiha showed particular contempt for Shimura Danzo's power.
Itachi Uchiha recalled an old case and seemed unwilling to let Danzo get involved, "Danzo's power is indeed of little use, but the other ninja villages..."
"It's meaningless."
Obito Uchiha shook his head.
Orochimaru.
Obito Uchiha fingers on the table.
At this moment Obito Uchiha seemed to have rediscovered some of the feelings he had when he was in the Akatsuki, as if he were a mastermind behind everything.
Obito Uchiha looked up at Orochimaru, then at Yakushi Kabuto, and began to speak of a hidden piece he had left behind.
"Itachi and I will keep your subordinates' actions a secret."
"Send your men to Hidden Mist Village) and find Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Hidden Mist Village."
He's my subordinate; I ordered him to kill the Fourth Mizukage Yagura.
"!!!"
Everyone present looked up, their faces showing surprise. They hadn't expected that Obito Uchiha would have such a hidden plan!
They even brazenly killed a Mizukage!
This is the Kage of one of the Five Great Nations ninja villages!
Is it really necessary to kill off an entire village's worth of shadows just to buy some time?
This situation...
The three people present didn't know whether they should praise Obito Uchiha's broad vision or think that Obito Uchiha was a madman. "If I remember correctly—"
Yakushi Kabuto had infiltrated Hidden Mist Village for a period of time, and he knew some information about the Fourth Mizukage and Kisame Hoshigaki: "The Fourth Hidden Mist Village, Fourth Mizukage Yagura, was also the Three-Tails Jinchuriki. Kisame Hoshigaki was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Hidden Mist Village and was known in Hidden Mist Village as the Tailed Beast Without a Tail. But assassinating the Fourth Mizukage might not be easy, would it?"
In fact, there have always been assassins in Hidden Mist Village who have tried to kill the Fourth Mizukage.
Because the Fourth Mizukage had long implemented a tyrannical rule in Hidden Mist Village, he forced the village's ninjas to defect or attempt to assassinate him. However, none of them succeeded. Yakushi Kabuto did not quite believe that Kisame Hoshigaki was able to successfully assassinate the Fourth Mizukage.
"Rest assured."
"Kisame's strength is sufficient."
Obito Uchiha trusted Kisame Hoshigaki implicitly, even revealing another secret. "The Fourth Mizukage Yagura, has always been under the control of my Sharingan; he simply couldn't possess the power to fight Kisame."
■
Even the Uchiha, who was barely maintaining his composure, couldn't help but glance at Obito Uchiha.
Because this news is even more shocking than the previous one!
"That's really true—"
Orochimaru couldn't help but chuckle, praising Obito Uchiha: "Unexpected."
As one of the Konoha's Sannin, Orochimaru considered himself to be very knowledgeable. He never imagined that Obito Uchiha could control even the Kage of a village, let alone dare to do so!
No wonder the Uchiha Clan has always been viewed with hostility by the higher-ups in Konoha. If the news of Obito Uchiha controlling the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, had been exposed earlier, the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha High Command might have been even deeper, and the Konoha High Command.
Fortunately.
The Uchiha Clan, who had awakened powerful Sharingan, were wiped out.
As Orochimaru thought of this, his eyes involuntarily swept back and forth Obito Uchiha Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha. His tongue began to lick his lips unconsciously again, and there was even a hint of uncontrollable greed in his eyes.
It's kind of tempting.
Both Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha possessed the extraordinary power of the Mangekyo Sharingan. For Orochimaru, who was dedicated to collecting all the Ninjutsu in the Shinobi World and wanted to obtain all the power, their bloodline limit was already enough to give Orochimaru more trouble.
Itachi Uchiha immediately sensed Orochimaru's ulterior motives.
As for Obito Uchiha, due to the unique nature of his Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan, he was able to ignore almost all dangers. He merely gave a disdainful snort at Orochimaru's question.
If it weren't for dealing with Shirou Emiya...
If Orochimaru weren't a ninja who possessed the Impure World Reincarnation...
Obito Uchiha wouldn't even glance at Orochimaru, even though he was once one of the legendary Konoha's Sannin, he didn't consider him worthy of his attention.
"This task is entrusted to you, Kabuto."
Orochimaru turned around and gave a brief instruction to Yakushi Kabuto. He didn't care about Obito Uchiha's arrogant attitude because he knew perfectly well that he, with his Sharingan, was no good person either.
Moreover, he was able to maintain basic politeness in front of Obito Uchiha and the other Uchiha, who were still useful to him.
"Yes."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded very seriously and continued to ask, "What happens after the Mizukage succeeds or fails?"
"So I brought Kisame Hoshigaki back with me?"
"The plan will definitely succeed."
Obito Uchiha was somewhat dissatisfied with the two possible outcomes proposed by Yakushi Kabuto. He believed that his arrangements would only have one result, and continued in a cold voice, "As for assassinating the Fourth Mizukage and letting Kisame Hoshigaki take this opportunity to become S-Rank Missing-nin, I will arrange for him to join the Akatsuki and help us gather intelligence on the Akatsuki."
This was also part of his pre-arranged plan.
If Shirou Emiya hadn't appeared, Obito Uchiha would have already planned to arrange for Kisame to defect and join the Akatsuki, since Kisame Hoshigaki's abilities were very special and extremely suitable for assisting the Akatsuki in capturing Tailed Beast.
Yakushi Kabuto listened quietly as Obito Uchiha speaking, but he didn't respond. Instead, he looked in Orochimaru's direction, seemingly waiting for Orochimaru to speak.
"Do as he says, Dou."
Orochimaru nodded, smiled, and gave an order to Yakushi Kabuto, clearly pleased with the respect Yakushi Kabuto showed him.
"Yes."
Yakushi Kabuto then respectfully agreed.
Certainly.
After this show of respect, Yakushi Kabuto's glasses gleamed under the light.
Yakushi Kabuto left Orochimaru's base and immediately wanted to contact Shirou Emiya, because he wanted to know Shirou Emiya for this matter.
Only-
Shirou Emiya didn't seem to care.
Shirou Emiya had known about their secret discussions for a long time.
Because the White Zetsu Clone assigned to monitor Orochimaru had already reported Obito Uchiha and Orochimaru's plot to Shirou Emiya.
However, this White Zetsu Clone reported to Shirou Emiya about Orochimaru, Obito Uchiha, and others' conspiracy.
They offered their own suggestions.
"Lord Shirou, we must stop Obito Uchiha's plot immediately! If his subordinates kill the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, it will definitely interfere with our Eye of the Moon Plan!"
"Does your original body know about this news?"
Emiya Tsuchihara seems to only care about this issue.
"The original body hasn't returned yet—"
The White Zetsu Clone shook its head and quickly said, "I'll report this to the main body immediately and have..."
"No."
"Let me handle it."
"Speaking of which—"
As Shirou Emiya scribbled and drew on the scroll, he casually asked, "How strong are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"
"Not very good, is it?"
"I remember that the Akatsuki also had a Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
The White Zetsu Clone scratched its head, recalling an old story. "It seems to have been called Juzo Biwa. Because Kakuzu killed too many of his teammates, he was later assigned to Kakuzu, but he was also killed by Kakuzu."
Emiya Tsuchihara's eyelids twitched.
To help the Orphanage
Kakuzu is really hardworking, even more so than I remember from my previous life.
"Never mind."
Shirou Emiya rolled up a scroll and handed it to the White Zetsu Clone, calmly instructing, "Give this scroll to that guy named Yakushi Kabuto. He'll know what to do when he sees this scroll. From now on, just stick with Kabuto—"
"But will that solve the problem? Yakushi Kabuto is Orochimaru's man."
The White Zetsu Clone put away the scroll, muttering complaints under its breath, "Could I give the scroll to Yakushi Kabuto first, and then go report this to the original body and Lord Black Zetsu to see if I can undo Obito's betrayal? Actually, Obito used to be quite fun. It was much more interesting when I was with Obito than when I'm with Lord Shirou- sama now."
"Etc-"
Shirou Emiya was silent for a moment, then suddenly called out to it, extending his palm towards the White Zetsu Clone and demanding the scroll he had given it. "Give me that scroll first. I'll add one more sentence inside: There's something I forgot to tell Yakushi Kabuto—."
"Besides-"
"To avoid any mistakes in this mission"
"I'll transplant another batch of Hashirama's cells into your body to strengthen it, and I'll also leave a Curse Mark on you to enhance your Chakra— "
