Chapter 155

However, this also carries a significant risk: it could easily be turned against and controlled by Tobi White Zetsu...

Therefore, aside from the scene where Obito Uchiha goes to see Kakashi and stabs Rin Nohara, there is no other scene in the manga where he appears.

He never used Tobi White Zetsu power again.

"You did a good job."

Obito Uchiha superior position.

He truly hadn't expected that Amakawa Akito would actually give up the Tailed Beast on his own initiative.

But...

Just think of that damn Dark Chakra.

A wave of disdain and mockery flashed through Obito Uchiha's mind.

What's the point of having the highest potential if it's only equivalent to 4-5 gates of the Eight Gates Released Formation?

That so-called Zero-Tails isn't even as powerful as a single finger of a real Tailed Beast.

What are your plans for the future?

"I asked Obito Uchiha."

After Amegakure returned the Seven-Tails to Ryugakure.

Sunagakure and Konoha would then breathe a sigh of relief.

They will also attack Amegakure with even greater impunity.

Konoha has already chosen the Fourth Hokage.

Minato Namikaze swiftly took over and handled many matters.

I believe we can quickly gather our forces and invade Amegakure.

"If Konoha and Sunagakure really do that, Nagato can't just stand by and do nothing, can he?"

The Akito, however, said indifferently.

The plot differs somewhat from the original story.

This time, Amegakure and Akatsuki did not have any major conflict.

Both sides are victims.

Whether it was out of revenge.

It's still a matter of mutual dependence; both morally and logically, Nagato wouldn't stand idly by and watch Amegakure be destroyed.

--Of course, even without Nagato, I have a way to keep Amegakure intact.

"Hmph, what a clever fellow."

Obito Uchiha shook his head.

"Nagato will definitely come to help, but our own strength is the most important thing, isn't it?"

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others."

The Akito replied in this way.

After he digs up Rin Nohara's grave, he will confront Obito Uchiha -to-face.

Then, Obito Uchiha disappeared without a trace.

On a rainy night.

The Akito pondered the detailed countermeasures to follow.

How to thwart the potential joint offensive from Konoha and Sunagakure...?

Let's use Zero-Tails then.

He shattered the Zero-Tails within the girl from Ryugakure, turning it into Dark Chakra.

Then it was absorbed into his body all at once.

This allows one's strength to surge instantly, enabling them to skip levels consecutively.

Just like in the theatrical anime.

And because of Zero-Tails's immortality.

As long as it's not a direct extraction of 100%, the girl from Ryugakure should be fine.

Dark Chakra, the regenerable Zero-Tails, the culmination of human wisdom—a powerful weapon against the theory of bloodlines...

Thinking this, Akito accelerated the rate at which the girl in his arms generated Dark Chakra...

88. Attack on Amegakure, logistical information

That night, around midnight.

The information about Ryugakure was sent to the Hokage Building.

Minato Namikaze has moved to the former residences of the Hokage... to the "Hokage's House," an annex to the Hokage Building.

I got up in the middle of the night and went to the conference room.

He stared blankly at the intelligence report in front of him.

But when the four high-ranking officials —Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, Shimura Danzō, and Hiruzen Sarutobi— arrived...

They glanced through the intelligence and were immediately stunned.

Amakawa Akito... returned the Seven-Tails to Ryugakure?!

After confirming that I wasn't dreaming.

Several high-ranking officials took their seats, all with solemn expressions.

"What exactly does this Amakawa Akito mean?"

Why not use the Tailed Beast?

Is he an idiot?

Or is he implying that his power has surpassed that of the Seven-Tails?

"Hmph, if he's stronger than the Seven-Tails, then wouldn't we be on par with the First Hokage?"

Utatane Koharu new room, said with a disdainful look.

Although I have no idea what this Amakawa Akito Mingren is up to.

But it is obvious that Amegakure lost the Seven-Tails it had almost obtained.

"Fourth Hokage, now is the perfect opportunity. We must immediately join forces with Sunagakure to attack Amegakure."

Utatane Koharu to look at Minato Namikaze.

This suggests that sending troops to Yuyin is the Amegakure course of action.

"We can send troops, but the Uchiha Clan must lead the charge," Danzo added.

Everything is negotiable.

However Uchiha Clan must be weakened.

To this day, the abilities of Fugaku Uchiha's right eye remain unknown, and his Susanoo has not been demonstrated.

This is a major destabilizing factor.

The conditions under which troops should be deployed have been discussed multiple times in previous meetings.

Therefore, this matter was easily accepted by the five leaders present.

"It will take two days for Sunagakure and our forces to arrive."

"That's what Hiruzen Sarutobi said."

The reason why even Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to send troops was naturally because of the previous diplomatic ceremony.

Amakawa Akito was determined to annihilate Konoha and Sunagakure.

This declaration of a fight to the death left no room for maneuver.

The Third Shinobi World War has ended.

The sporadic crises that followed the war are not worth mentioning.

All countries are taking a break to recover and rebuild.

Logically, Konoha should be the same.

However, in order to ease the alliance between Sunagakure...

The optimal strategy at present is to divide and conquer everything, including the Amegakure.

Moreover, Amegakure had already fallen into the hands of Konoha and Sunagakure, but was later handed over to them.

Convincing others is fake.

"Everyone..."

Minato Namikaze looked at Utatane Koharu and the others.

"I think we should try to ease tensions between the village and the Uchiha Clan."

Minato Namikaze offered a different opinion.

"I agree with the Lord Third's view. The Uchiha Clan are our comrades-in-arms and should not be treated differently."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded approvingly.

He clearly agreed with Minato Namikaze's arrangements for the Uchiha Clan.

As for Minato Namikaze...

This caused Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzō silent instantly.

They suddenly realized.

Minato Namikaze... is not someone to be trifled with.

"Minato... what do you mean by this?" Utatane Koharu asked sternly.

"The idea that the Uchiha Clan is an evil clan has absolutely no basis in ninjutsu..."

Minato Namikaze frankly stated his thoughts.

"Therefore, even if troops are deployed, I will arrange the troops in a mixed formation as usual. Please understand."

After becoming Hokage.

Minato Namikaze has finally revealed his true colors.

He intended to change some of Konoha's past bad habits.

A harmonious relationship was reached with the Uchiha clan.

In the eyes of Utatane Koharu, they had grown too big for their britches and were no longer following orders.

"Minato Namikaze, you'll regret this!" Utatane Koharu snorted coldly, then got up and left.

Danzo, however, was extremely Danzo.

He got up without a word and left as well.

Mitokado Homura glanced at the two of them, but silently sat down on the spot.

Clearly, he's a fence-sitter.

I'll side with whoever is stronger.

Therefore, the current score is 3 to 2.

The faction of Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Mitokado Homura overwhelmed the combination of Utatane Koharu and Shimura Danzō.

"An army marches on its stomach."

Minato Namikaze continued talking as if nothing had happened.
