Tracking

After a long while, having vented his emotions, Obito Uchiha, finally calmed down due to exhaustion and despair, got up and slowly left in the direction he had come from.

After a while, Yichen used his Sensory Ninjutsu and Mind's Eye to carefully examine the area around the battlefield more than a dozen times.

"Only one White Zetsu clone remained?" Yichen's eyes flashed.

Yichen glanced in the direction Obito had left and felt this was an opportunity. In the past, Yichen had been hesitant because he was worried about Madara Uchiha making a move, but now that Madara Uchiha was about to die, Yichen naturally had fewer concerns.

Using the Camouflage Jutsu, Yichen slowly approached the White Zetsu clone using the Light-Weight Rock Technique.

Sensing that the White Zetsu clone, hidden in a large tree dozens of meters below, seemed to have noticed something and was looking around, Yichen carefully stopped approaching.

After a while, just as the White Zetsu clone relaxed its guard again, Yichen quickly stretched out his hands.

"Celestial Technique - Banshō Ten'in!"

In an instant, White Zetsu clone, along with the tree where he was hiding, was sucked into the air by Yichen.

Sensing the danger, the White Zetsu clone was about to use the Mayfly Technique, but paused for a moment as it left the tree roots.

"What happened? Where is the earth?"

Struck by Yichen's immortal technique - Banshō Ten'in, the White Zetsu, isolated from the ground, lost its greatest speed advantage. Then Yichen unleashed a full combo, subduing and sealing the still stunned White Zetsu, who didn't know what to do.

Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief after creating an Earth Style Clone and carrying the White Zetsu clone to a height of over a thousand meters.

After carefully sensing for a while and confirming that there were no other ninjas around, Yichen came to Kakashi's side.

After glancing at Rin's body, Yichen couldn't understand why Obito didn't take her away. Wouldn't it be better to just stare at her corpse Tenten? Did he really need to infiltrate Konoha every time to Memorial Stone?

However, Lin was not Yichen's target; Yichen was interested in Kakashi.

Yichen stepped forward and removed Kakashi's equipment. After a quick look, he found that Kakashi had some good stuff on him, including quite a few Ninjutsu Scroll.

"That's true. Kakashi, like me, doesn't have any relatives, so he probably has most of his wealth on me."

Ignoring everything else for the moment, Yichen immediately sealed the Special Kunai with the Flying Thunder God. Yichen didn't know how effective his seal would be against the Flying Thunder God, so he unleashed seven or eight A-rank seal at once. Some sealed Chakra, while others sealed perception.

That wasn't all. Yichen created another clone and had it hide the Special Kunai.

Regardless of whether Minato Namikaze can still sense it now, Yichen doesn't want to take any risks. Even if he wants to conduct research, he'll have to wait until after Minato Namikaze dies.

After dealing with Kakashi's belongings, Yichen created numerous clones to examine the corpses of the Mist ninja around them. Obito didn't care about the equipment on these ninjas, but Yichen couldn't afford to be.

At least forty Kirigakure Mist ninja were killed by Obito. Among these forty Genin and lower was small, the majority were Chunin, and there were also a considerable number of Jonin.

These ninjas hadn't experienced much combat, but they carried quite a few valuable items.

Finally, Yichen glanced at Kakashi's tightly closed left eye, hesitated for a moment, and did not make a move.

Although this eye has now awakened to the Mangekyo, it was basically useless until Kakashi developed it into the true Mangekyo.

For others to use this Sharingan like Kakashi would be quite difficult.

Without Obito's personal gift of the Sharingan to aid him, thinking you can use it is wishful Sharingan.

After packing and sealing away what he had obtained from Kakashi and the Mist ninja, Yichen chased after Obito in the direction he had left.

Yichen didn't use the Sealing Jutsu attached to Obito's ankle right away. Every time he used it, the chances of being exposed increased, and now was not the time to use it.

Based on his understanding of the original work, Yichen had a time estimate for Madara Uchiha's death.

Obito wouldn't have been at this battlefield for more than a day, Yichen estimated that this location was probably chosen by Madara Uchiha beforehand.

Therefore, even with his Space-Time Ninjutsu, Obito would not have needed more than a day to return to Madara Uchiha's side.

Considering that Madara Uchiha had given Obito some last words before his death, Yichen thought it would be better to wait a day or two before attempting to sense him again.

As he flew, Yichen suddenly sensed something, paused, and began to unleash his Sensory Ninjutsu and Mind's Eye with all his might.

"Another White Zetsu clone?" Yichen's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that White Zetsu already knew about him capturing a White Zetsu clone earlier. "Is it here to investigate? Such a quick reaction, such speed!"

After carefully checking again and finding nothing else, Yichen continued his tracking.

After walking for a while, Yichen discovered that the traces left by Obito had completely disappeared.

"They're starting to use Space-Time Ninjutsu here, right? Since they've begun using Space-Time Ninjutsu to travel, it means the Uchiha's death is not far off. Obito, hurry up, don't let Madara Uchiha live any longer."

In the dark underground space, just as Madara Uchiha had predicted, Obito returned. Looking at Obito's Mangekyou Mangekyo, Madara Uchiha revealed a smile. Only at this moment did the Uchiha finally make up his mind to make Obito their representative.

Next, Madara Uchiha explained the Moon Eye Plan to Obito and assigned Obito tasks. Then, in front of Obito, he created Black Zetsu. Madara Uchiha then severed the connection between himself and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and entered complete annihilation.

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha began learning Yin-Yang Release under the guidance of Black and White Zetsu).

A day later, Obito felt a slight tingling or itching in his ankle, but he paid no attention Obito it, his heart already dead.

It wasn't until this feeling occurred three times that Obito realized something was wrong. When he reached out to wipe away the trace of blood, Obito felt something was amiss. However, after carefully examining the area with his Sharingan, he found nothing.

Black Zetsu, who was instructing Obito nearby, asked, "Obito, what's wrong?"

Obito shook his head to indicate he was alright, then stared coldly at Black Zetsu and said in an icy tone, "Call me Madara Uchiha."

This was exactly what Yichen anticipated. The Sealing Jutsu he had set up in his blood contained very little Senjutsu Chakra, and after several attempts, there wasn't much left. When Obito casually wiped it away, he had already destroyed the sealing structure.

Once the seal was broken, the remaining Senjutsu Chakra naturally dissipated. If Obito had activated his Mangekyō Sharingan first, he might have been able to observe something different, but now, all he saw was ordinary blood.

Just as Obito wiped away the blood, Yichen was floating above Obito Uchiha's head. After three sensory location checks, Yichen successfully located Madara Uchiha's base.

"That went very smoothly. Obito truly lives up to his reputation as the Xian'er '." It's so satisfying to have a weak opponent.

Originally, Yichen had anticipated that the best outcome would be for Obito to discover him during the sensing of the seal, allowing him to force his way in. Yichen was confident that he could obtain some of Madara Uchiha's legacy from Obito.

But now everything seems to be going even better than Yichen imagined. He has found Madara Uchiha's base without being detected by Obito.

Yichen really wanted to return to Iwagakure now and raid their Obito Uchiha left. But considering Obito's Kamui Space, which essentially provided storage, what if he packed everything up and took it all?

So after pondering for a long time in the air, Yichen decided to go in now.

Yichen used the Light-Weight Rock Technique and the Camouflage Jutsu to slowly descend, and then floated into the Stone Gate that Obito had broken a few days earlier.

I didn't notice it when reading the original novel, but now that Yichen has entered it in person, I realize how vast this underground space is. Just one entrance passage is big enough to accommodate four or five people walking side by side.

In the passage, the first thing that came into Yichen's view was a number of weapons, including samurai swords of varying lengths and Uchiha Gunbai.

After sensing the area briefly and confirming there were no traps, Yichen unceremoniously put the items into his Ninja Tool Pouch.

Further on, after passing a pile of rocks, Yichen entered the hall where Obito had previously healed. The first thing that caught his eye was naturally the enormous Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Fortunately, Yichen has seen quite a few Tailed Beast and giant Summoning Beast, and due to the influence of the original work, he hasn't paid much attention to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Yichen only lingered for a moment on the white bodies hanging on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path before turning his gaze directly to a figure facing him.

"Madara Uchiha." Yichen had to admit that he was a little nervous. If Madara Uchiha hadn't died, Yichen wasn't sure if he could deal with the aging Madara Uchiha.

Although the hall was large, there was not a single living being there. So Yichen gently floated to Madara Uchiha's side and reached out to remove a pair of eyes from his eye sockets.

After carefully storing the Sharingan in a bottle containing nutrient solution, Yichen put his acquisition back into his Ninja Tool Pouch.

Looking around, Yichen was surprised to find that there seemed to be no other rooms nearby. So where did Obito go?

Does it have to be underground? Yichen felt that this possibility wasn't out of the question.

However, this makes it impossible to sneak in undetected.

The underground is the domain of White Zetsu, and Yichen knew that as soon as he entered the surface, he would be immediately discovered by White Zetsu. Therefore, Yichen hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should check what was below the surface.

However, Yichen quickly dismissed the idea.

Instead of searching for a base whose location is unknown, it would be better to try and obtain something from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Just disturbing the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path would probably alert White Zetsu.

"Fine, I'll just go for it."

Yichen gritted his teeth, created two clones, and then the three of them worked together to Kekkei Tōta: Light Release, a technique he was still not very proficient in.

Yichen's Light Release is not yet usable in actual combat, for no other reason than his lack of proficiency. The charging time before Light Release is enough for an enemy to kill Yichen hundreds of times over. But this time the situation is different; there is no one around, and Yichen has enough time to prepare.

After so long, a violent fluctuation of Chakra emanated from Yichen was, startling both Obito Uchiha and the Black and White Zetsu and White Zetsu who were underground.

"What's going on? Could it be that Lord Madara isn't dead?" The speaker was a White Zetsu clone.

"Idiot, Lord Madara's Chakra isn't like this. Someone has invaded it," another White Zetsu clone said.

"This Chakra fluctuation seems familiar. That's right, this is Yichen from Iwa ninja." Another White Zetsu clone either had monitored Yichen or had witnessed Yichen's battles, and quickly identified Yichen's Chakra.
