Uchiha Obito Also Obtains a Legacy

"Tiehuo, the Masked Man's identity is Obito."

"The Masked Man is Obito?!"

Tiehuo did not know much about the existence of the Masked Man.

He only knew that back then, during the Nine-Tails' Rampage, a masked ninja had controlled the Nine-Tails to attack the village. At that time, he and the Clan Head and others had been intercepted outside the clan grounds, prevented from rushing over to provide support.

Later, after sacrificing a large number of Jonin and the Fourth Hokage, the village had barely managed to seal the Nine-Tails.

It was from that moment on that rumors gradually appeared in the village that the Masked Man was an Uchiha, which only added insult to injury for the Uchiha's already poor reputation.

He had always believed this was a smear campaign by the Hokage Faction, but Youhu told him that it was Obito who had done it.

"Lord Youhu, how could it be Obito? Didn't he die in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge? I even attended his funeral. Are you sure you aren't mistaken?"

"I am certain that he is Obito. Obito has been resurrected."

Youhu was extremely certain.

Seeing Youhu's serious gaze, Tiehuo was no longer so firm, but he was still somewhat confused: "Obito doesn't have the strength to attack the village, nor does he have any reason to."

"With his strength and his identity as the Fourth Hokage's disciple, it's even possible he could have become Hokage in the future."

"Why would he attack the village and frame our clan?"

Youhu shook his head slightly:

"Obito obtained Uchiha Madara's inheritance. Back then, the Uchiha viewed us as traitors. As Madara's successor, Obito also inherited Madara's hostility toward us."

"Moreover, the ninja Obito loved also died at the hands of Konoha's own people."

"He wants the clan and the village to destroy each other."

Youhu's words were resonant, striking hard at Tiehuo's heart.

He did not want to believe that Obito could have been resurrected, nor did he believe that Uchiha Madara would want to destroy the Uchiha of Konoha.

But since these words came from Lord Youhu, they already carried ninety percent credibility.

Since Lord Izuna had left behind an inheritance, then Lord Madara, who was even stronger than Lord Izuna, must have certainly left behind his own inheritance as well. It was a pity that this inheritance had been taken by Obito and used to deal with the village and the clan.

If Obito had been able to return to the village, the Uchiha of today would have had the ability to go toe-to-toe with the Hokage Faction.

Unfortunately, Obito was not standing on the side of the clan; he wanted to destroy both the clan and the village.

Fortunately, Lord Youhu had obtained Lord Izuna's inheritance and was willing to share it. Otherwise, Tiehuo dared not imagine how much longer the Uchiha Clan could have held on while caught between internal strife and external threats.

Thinking of this, Tiehuo realized he had to do something, so he asked Youhu:

"Lord Youhu, what should we do next?"

Youhu contemplated for a moment, then continued:

"There is no need to worry about Obito for now. I have crossed paths with him, and he will not make a move against the village in the short term..."

"You can spread the word that Obito has been resurrected. You can also let more people know about Izuna's Inheritance, but it is best not to reveal that I am the one who obtained it."

"I still need to continue lurking beside the Hokage."

After a pause, Youhu added:

"Additionally, this parchment records the relationship between Wood Style and the Sharingan, and this vial contains some Wood Style Cells for research. You must find a way to study them."

"With just the few of us in the Uchiha clan, we certainly cannot defeat Obito, who has obtained Madara's Inheritance. We must rely on the legacy left by Lord Izuna. I hope that one day, I will be able to see the power of the First Hokage in you as well."

After speaking, Youhu opened his palm. A vine appeared out of thin air from his palm and began to slither across his hand.

"The First Hokage's Wood Style?!"

Tiehuo widened his eyes, his gaze toward Youhu filled with nothing but admiration. "Lord Youhu, you have unexpectedly awakened the Wood Style Bloodline!"

"However, with both Wood Style and the Mangekyo Sharingan, couldn't you take the position of Hokage?"

Youhu stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently:

"Do not underestimate the ninjas of the world. Obito also possesses the Mangekyo and Wood Style, and his Mangekyo even has space-time attributes. His strength is not the least bit inferior to the Fourth Hokage."

"Once my Mangekyo and Wood Style are exposed, they will only be feared by Obito and the Hokage."

"Moreover, I do not believe this is the extent of Obito's strength. He is followed by several monsters who have mastered Wood Style; there might even be an entire Wood Style Legion behind him."

"Tiehuo, the waters of the Ninja World are far deeper than you imagine."

"If we want to survive in this turbulent world, we must be careful, and then careful again."

"Yes."

Tiehuo had long been completely convinced by Youhu. He felt that it was already rare and commendable that Youhu had not lost faith in the clan and was still willing to remain within it.

After giving Tiehuo his instructions, Youhu dispelled his Wood Clone, leaving a tree stump in its place.

Staring at the stump left behind by Youhu, Tiehuo was stunned. With the insight of his Three Tomoe Sharingan, he had not even realized that Youhu had come as a Wood Clone, which left Tiehuo feeling incredibly astonished.

Lord Youhu's strength has already reached this level.

Just how formidable must the Hokage faction, which makes Lord Youhu wary, and Obito, who inherited Uchiha Madara's legacy, truly be?

He held the Inheritance Parchment and the small glass vial containing the Wood Style Cells in his hands.

Tiehuo was exceptionally excited.

He decided that sleeping for only two hours at night would be enough.

The rest of the time would be used to persuade his fellow clan members to join the Uchiha Fan Faction. Only by recruiting more members could he fulfill the clan's mission for Lord Youhu. Only under the leadership of Lord Youhu could the Uchiha move toward glory.

My esteemed teacher, Jonin Yachiyo, you are the leader of the Hawk Faction; I shall start by persuading you.

Even if I have to bet my life on it, I will correct your misguided thoughts and make you feel the grace of Lord Youhu, so that everything may be united under his command.

Youhu had no way of knowing these thoughts of Tiehuo.

Even if he did know, he would only say one thing: well done.

The Uchiha clan needs workaholics like you who volunteer for a 007 work schedule. Please keep up the good work and promote it further.

"It seems the Wood Clone has completed the mission. I'll wait until I wake up to deal with the rest."

Having received the memories fed back by the Wood Clone, he went to sleep, feeling satisfied.

Facts proved that drinking energy drinks while staying up late only deepened one's sleepiness.

Outside Konoha City.

Uchiha Obito was running through the forest, dodging Kakashi's pursuit.

A few hours ago, after escaping from the hands of Kakashi, Youhu, and the others, he did not leave Konoha. Instead, he wanted to continue using the logic of hiding in plain sight to mingle within Konohagakure.

He wanted to see if there was a chance to make contact with Uchiha Itachi.

As a result, he ran into Kakashi and Yamato, who were patrolling in a team.

With the two of them joining forces, Obito did not have the confidence to secure a victory. He could only flee all the way, escaping into the depths of the forest to evade the pursuit of Kakashi and Yamato.

"I shouldn't have given Kakashi the Sharingan back then."

Crouched on a tree trunk to rest, Obito wanted to slap his past self, speaking with indignation in his heart.

Just at this moment, the White Zetsu from Youhu's side burst out from the ground and shouted toward Obito, "Lord Madara, Lord Youhu asked me to deliver a letter to you. It seems he has some suggestions regarding the Moon Eye Plan."
