In early August, Obito Uchiha had been traveling the Shinobi World, had been away from Konoha for three months. Accompanied by White Zetsu, he had fully recovered.
Unlike the peaceful scene in Konoha, the Small Nations near the Land of Wind remain in a state of chaos.
While Sunagakure is in a slightly better position, the situation there is still far from optimistic.
Obito witnessed several ninjas being forced to give up their profession because they couldn't support their families, and he also witnessed older ninjas fighting each other over the completion of a mission.
The so-called allies did not solve the potential problems of Sunagakure; instead, they helped the Old Man in the village gain a foothold.
No defensive barrier could stop Obito. After staying in Sunagakure for half a month, the White Zetsu he was possessed couldn't take it anymore. " Lord Madara, we should leave!"
"We're hit by sandstorms every day; the environment is terrible, and we still can't find any news about resurrection magic."
"If I stay here any longer, I'll be roasted to death by the sun overhead."
Obito Uchiha didn't respond. Instead, he went to a corner and immediately became intangible. When he returned to the special space, the White Zetsu on his body immediately dispelled its possession, and he shouted loudly, "Let's just kill those two imposters. Then Lord Madara can find an opportunity to use the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive them."
"This is the perfect resurrection spell; there shouldn't be any problems."
"If the plan goes smoothly, perhaps just one Tailed Beast Bomb from Nine-Tails) would be enough to kill the fragile Kakashi and Rin Nohara on the spot."
" Lord Madara, let's go back to Kirigakure!"
Obito had completely grown accustomed to his companions' comical tone, and he was too lazy to refute these pointless suggestions. He continued in a deep voice, "After visiting the Land of Wind, I want to go to the Land of Earth to take a look. Only then can I clarify my own thoughts."
"Most ninjas live in suffering; Konoha has neither brought peace nor resolved this suffering."
"This world is wrong. If, as the stone tablet at Naka Shrine says, the Eye of the Moon Plan can solve everything."
White Zetsu was utterly bewildered. Before, Obito hadn't cared about peace or suffering at all, but now he was starting to think deeply about it. This change confused him greatly. "Didn't Lord Madara just want to gain Nagato's trust?"
Obito shook his head calmly, recalling what he had seen and heard recently, and immediately said in a deep voice, "It was the profession of ninja that killed Rin, and it also killed Obito Uchiha back then."
" Kakashi is right. We should have given up the ninja profession sooner, and this tragedy wouldn't have happened."
"This is a world distorted by ninjas. Ninjas who only know how to kill should not be the rulers of this world. People living in this world should have more choices."
"?"
The tentacles on the White Zetsu's head quickly coalesced into a question mark. Is this a sign of madness? How did it suddenly come to this conclusion?
Obito, however, remained silent. Looking at the White Zetsu, his eyes once again glowed crimson. "I will use the Eye of the Moon Plan to correct this world. There's still a part of the stone tablet at the Naka Shrine that I haven't deciphered; I need more eye power."
"White guy, I hope you won't betray me. I want to see the inscription on the stone tablet with my own eyes!"
"Once I've improved my strength further, we'll go back and see. If Black Zetsu lying to me, I'll use the power of these eyes to kill him."
White Zetsu was utterly speechless after hearing this. He circled around Obito once before replying in a comical tone, "So, if the inscription on the stone tablet is true, would you team up with that black guy?"
"He's different from us; he represents Lord Madara's will. Will you revive Lord Madara in the future?"
Obito recalled the old man who patiently taught him how to use the Sharingan, but ultimately shook his head and looked at White Zetsu seriously, saying, "If I can control those eyes and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, I can complete this plan by myself."
"Madara desires world peace, and I will fulfill his wish. Once the ninja profession disappears, the karmic ties will be severed."
"He will definitely love the world I created."
Scratching his head in exasperation, White Zetsu felt that Obito in front of him had gone mad. Lord Madara certainly wouldn't like Obito going against the plan. "I don't understand what you're trying to do, but it seems quite interesting. I'll keep it a secret for now."
Obito slightly, then took out the scroll he had traded with Orochimaru again. Getting rid of the Cursed Seal on his heart was indeed a very difficult thing.
But the thought of ending the ninja world and hearing Rin's encouragement when he saw her again roused the boy, and he painfully began to read the obscure and difficult-to-understand description of the technique, "Abandon this body? Melt the Cursed Seal."
" Senjutsu have this effect? It just looks too difficult..."
Obito had no intention of giving up. He knew the power of Senjutsu and that Orochimaru's words were not to be trusted, but they had given him the right direction. As long as he persevered, he would have a chance to break free from his constraints.
Kirigakure remains in chaos. After the deaths of Jinpachi Murashi, wielder of the Exploding Shibuki: Munashi Jinpachi, and Kushimaru Kurihara, wielder of the Nuibari Kushimaru Kuriarare, only two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist have survived.
The deaths of the ruthless duo shocked many Kirigakure Ninja. Although they lacked concrete evidence, they all cast suspicious glances toward Mei Terumi, who possessed two Kekkei Genkai.
Although the girl is only 14 years old, she is currently highly regarded by the Mizukage within the Anbu.
Not Mei Terumi open up her ninjutsu, but the Mizukage also bestowed some of her secret techniques upon her. If this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before the girl becomes a high-ranking member of the village!
Inside the Mizukage Building, Elder Genji announced the Mizukage's decision in a trembling voice. Upon hearing that Mei Terumi would serve as a squad leader in the Anbu, responsible for protecting the Mizukage, some members of the Jonin Division shouted, "A guy who killed his village comrades cannot be a squad leader!"
"She hasn't been cleared of suspicion yet; killing a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist is a serious crime."
"Elder, we can't go on like this. If we continue with the Bloody Mist Policy, the village will be destroyed by these extremists sooner or later!"
Several Reformist Faction Jonin argued vehemently, pointing out that they were the ninjas who had previously enjoyed the Mizukage's deep trust, yet now they were being oppressed by a cruel girl, a situation they could not accept.
The argument grew louder, and disappointment appeared on Genji's wrinkled face. He slammed his fist on the table before slowly and deliberately replying, "There's no Bloody Mist Policy. I've said it many times; this is a process of elitism!"
"The village's budget for the second half of the year isn't much; Lord Mizukage is trying to maintain the village's stability."
"The deaths of Munashi Jinpachi and Kushimaru Kuriarare demonstrate that everyone is disgusted with killing. You should all be aware of their methods."
"There are now two vacancies for Ninja Blade. At the next meeting, I hope you can reach a conclusion and submit the candidates as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the arguing subsided. The Ninja Blade was a power directly under the Mizukage, and if one could become the successor, the treatment would naturally be exceptional.
" Mei Terumi, come with me! After becoming a squad leader, the Mizukage has some instructions for me."
"You can leave now; there are still some tasks to be carried out in the village..."
Mei Terumi, with her long reddish-brown hair styled in a high ponytail, followed the old man toward the Mizukage's room. Her face was covered by a mask, but the curve of her lips was growing wider.
"You're right, it seems the guy controlling the Mizukage is indeed quite naive!"
"If I can gain recognition simply by demonstrating some killing, do you think I have a chance to break the Genjutsu cast on the Mizukage?"
Shu Furukawa's spirit was trying to sense things. As it approached the Mizukage's room, it noticed that Yagura's Chakra was not disordered and immediately responded simply, "This is the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Your Genjutsu level is completely inadequate against this kind of eye power."
"Without a ninja Kekkei Genkai Dōjutsu or bloodline limit, even finding clear evidence that the Mizukage is being controlled is extremely difficult."
"Even if the old man in front believes you, given the current chaotic situation, Yagura will most likely be controlled again within a few days after being awakened."
Mei Terumi didn't respond. This was the first time she had been so close to the Mizukage. Kneeling on the ground, she caught a glimpse of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura's "childlike form," and the girl secretly pursed her lips.
There was no sign of being controlled. Yagura smiled gently and offered a few words of encouragement. After receiving a response from Mei Terumi, he even praised her, saying, " Elder Genshi has high hopes for you. A dual Kekkei Genkai is an extraordinary talent for a ninja!"
"Don't let your guard down. The village needs a skilled ninja like you right now."
"The guard duties from now on are yours. Elder Genshi will also help you adapt to your new job as quickly as possible."
"Yes, Lord Mizukage!"
Mei Terumi responded crisply and clearly in her voice. The Genji seemed very satisfied and presented her with another scroll. The old man encouraged her, his voice trembling, "Child, don't waste your talent. The village needs your strength."
The girl bowed again in response. As she left the room, she heard the Fourth Mizukage and the elder still talking in hushed tones. She immediately asked in her mental world, "Was Elder Genshi also under Genjutsu? Why is he always on the Mizukage's side?"
"Your power structure is very interesting. This old man may have been under control a long time ago, and he seems to have anticipated this outcome."
"Later, we abolished this tedious system, unified the country's military and administrative forces, and completely completed the reform."
After briefly explaining the plan, Shu Furukawa suddenly sensed the girl's turbulent emotions and immediately went invisible.
Back in her Apartment Mei Terumi called out in front of the mirror. Receiving no response, she immediately sat cross-legged on the bed. Having adapted over the years, she had her own methods.
When the spirit appeared in an empty spiritual space, Mei Terumi quickly saw Shu Furukawa's spirit body. The girl, with her hands behind her back, leaned close to him, blew a breath, and said with a grin, "Why aren't you looking at my body? We're completely naked right now."
How much longer until you come to my side? I want to change this country with you.
The girl nestled into Shu Furukawa's arms, their spirits merging, and a strange sensation spread through her body.
"I'm not sure, but it should be around 20 years old."
Shu Furukawa secretly calculated the time. After eliminating all the hidden dangers in Konoha, he should focus on increasing his spiritual strength and creating carnage.
Just as he was about to add more, Mei Terumi's spiritual form nervously bit his shoulder. Even though she couldn't sense anything, she still glared at him and muttered, "So late?! Do you have other women in Konoha? Who else have you seen?"
"You've really gone mad, stop trying to resonate with me in the future..."
