With the big movements of Konoha, Sand Village and Iwagakure, the already chaotic Ninja World once again caused huge waves.
In Kirigakure's conference room, shrouded in a layer of light mist, the atmosphere was as depressing as the sky before a storm.
Fifth Mizukage Obito sat at the head of the table with an expressionless face, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
The other high-level ninjas in the conference room looked serious, quietly waiting for Mizukage's decision.
The whole space was filled with tension.
"We must not ignore the actions of Konoha, Sand Village and Iwagakure."
Obito's voice broke the silence. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, but there was no trace of a smile. There was a trace of disdain in his eyes, as if he was both concerned and a little contemptuous of the activities in these villages.
"Although we currently have no direct conflict with Konoha, once they gain an advantage in this battle, it will be extremely detrimental to us Kirigakure."
Then, his eyes scanned the crowd, with a trace of unnoticeable worry flashing in his eyes.
"Mizukage-sama, how should we respond?" an older ninja asked cautiously.
Obito frowned slightly, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, and said after thinking for a moment.
"Intensify border patrols and send our most elite ninja teams to keep an eye on their movements."
"Once we have the opportunity, we will not hesitate to take action to safeguard our Kirigakure interests."
"And Land of Lightning will also send a large number of ninjas to garrison."
"Yes!" All the ninjas responded in unison, and then quickly left the conference room to carry out the order.
The conference room instantly became quiet, and only Obito was left.
He sat there quietly, staring blankly ahead, as if lost in thought.
However, his thoughts were not at all on Kirigakure's interests.
Slowly, Obito took out a Crystal Ball from his arms. Crystal Ball exuded a soft light in the dim conference room.
He took this Crystal Ball from Land of Hot Water. It has been three years, but he has never figured out the secret of Crystal Ball.
He only knew that it was very powerful, and that potential power seemed to be surging in the dark, making people awe-inspiring.
Then combined with the movements of Uchiha Yan and Pain, he vaguely guessed that the changes in Land of Demons might be related to another Crystal Ball.
This made him more curious about the power of Crystal Ball and more eager to unlock its secrets.
Obito actually doesn't care about the life or death of Land of Water and Kirigakure, let alone Akatsuki Organization and the others in Ninja World.
There is only that crazy Eye of the Moon Plan in his heart.
He has always believed that only through this plan can he create his ideal world, a world without war and full of peace.
However, with the rise of Uchiha Yan and other major ninja villages, it is undeniable that he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
If these forces continue to grow and develop, they will pose a serious threat to his plan.
More importantly, although he has never really met Uchiha Yan, every time he learns about him, he will find that he has become stronger.
If this continues, he is really afraid that he will not be able to see Lin after completing Eye of the Moon Plan.
Thinking of this, Obito held Crystal Ball tightly, with a trace of determination in his eyes.
Nagato must have learned part of the secret when he returned from Land of Demons this time, and he had to find a way to get it.
But what makes Obito strange is that after Nagato came back, he did not ask him about Crystal Ball, as if the search three years ago did not exist at all.
Of course, you may also know that you will not give Crystal Ball to him.
Similarly, Nagato will not tell him the secret of Crystal Ball.
Taking a deep breath, Obito stood up and paced back and forth in the conference room, his steps rapid and heavy, as if every step carried his anxiety and determination.
The shadow beneath him looked particularly lonely and lonely in the dim light, but his eyes were always firm and unwavering.
He has no way out.
In order to realize Eye of the Moon Plan, he is willing to pay any price, even if it means sacrificing the entire Ninja World.
After a while, Obito stopped and stared at Crystal Ball in his hand again, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
He carefully put Crystal Ball back into his arms, then turned around and walked out of the conference room.
The figure gradually disappeared in the mist, leaving only a silent conference room.
After leaving Kirigakure, Obito quickly rushed towards a secret place.
It was a cave near Kirigakure, where he set up a simple research site to study Crystal Ball.
Along the way, his figure quickly shuttled through the woods, watching his surroundings with vigilance.
Arriving at the cave, Obito stopped and carefully observed the surrounding environment. After confirming that there was no danger, he walked into the cave.
The cave was dark and damp, filled with a pungent smell.
Obito lit an oil lamp, and the weak light illuminated a corner of the cave.
Then he sat in front of a simple table, took out Crystal Ball again, and placed it on the table.
Then, he took a deep breath and began to concentrate chakra.
A layer of faint blue light appeared around his palm. The light gradually became stronger and converged on his fingertips like a flowing stream.
Slowly touch your fingertips to Crystal Ball and slowly inject chakra into it.
At first, Crystal Ball had no obvious reaction, just a faint halo around the contact point.
This halo appears and disappears, as if it is testing something.
Obito frowned and increased the output of chakra.
With the continuous injection of chakra, some subtle changes began to appear inside Crystal Ball.
There seemed to be some light and shadow flowing slowly inside the originally clear and transparent interior.
These lights and shadows are as ethereal as smoke, and like elves trapped in crystal, struggling to show a certain form.
Obito's eyes became more focused as he continued to inject chakra, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
At this time, the light of Crystal Ball became more intense, and the entire cave was illuminated by this light.
In the light, some mysterious runes were looming.
These runes flashed rapidly, seeming to be conveying some kind of information, but Obito couldn't understand it at all and could only read it secretly.
Suddenly, Crystal Ball began to tremble violently.
Obito was shocked and thought there was something wrong with his operation.
But he did not flinch, but continued to maintain the injection of chakra.
As the trembling continued, the light and shadow inside Crystal Ball became more chaotic, as if a storm was raging inside.
Just when Obito felt a little powerless, Crystal Ball's light suddenly dimmed.
Those runes and light and shadow also disappeared, and Crystal Ball returned to its original calm.
Obito sighed helplessly, knowing that his attempt had failed again.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, and decided to readjust the method and start studying Crystal Ball again.
