In the small woods on the outskirts of Konoha.
Itachi saw that man.
"Madara."
With a swirl, he appeared before Uchiha Itachi.
"What happened in Konoha tonight..."
As Itachi spoke,
Uchiha Obito raised his arm.
"I know everything..."
Uchiha Obito replied. Through his White Zetsu clone, he had been tracking Itachi twenty-four hours a day.
To disguise himself as Uchiha Madara, he had gone to considerable lengths.
He had even been awakened by Black Zetsu and White Zetsu in the middle of the night.
After rushing to the outskirts of Konoha, he had heard the shocking news of Shimura Danzō being brought to justice.
Hyuga Sho's series of dizzying maneuvers.
He had not only schemed against Shimura Danzō.
After bringing him to justice, he had completely resolved Konoha's festering problem as well.
The Uchiha Clan's coup... might come to an end because of this.
Of course.
Uchiha Obito was not saying that Hyuga Sho had no ambition.
The events that followed would inevitably evolve into Hyuga Sho directing the Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan.
Whether he wanted Konoha to replace its Hokage,
or to resolve the matter through peaceful or violent means, that was not the issue.
The crucial point was that Konoha might fall into Hyuga Sho's hands and become his property.
"I think... Hyuga Sho might become Hokage."
Uchiha Itachi stared at Uchiha Obito and voiced his guess.
"Not necessarily."
Uchiha Obito shook his head.
He did not agree with Itachi's statement.
Back then...
Uchiha Obito had also thought that Hyuga Sho would become the head of the Hyuga Clan.
But in the end... he had merely supported Hyuga Mami, that puppet.
Later... it had been that young boy, Neji Hyuga.
If things followed his previous experience,
Hyuga Sho... would most likely support a puppet Hokage and
