Go Find It-I Hid the Secret in the Naka River!

Morning Peacock.

I've used Might Duy many times, but never before have I felt this comfortable.

After landing, he kicked the other person's corpse.

"Damn it!"

Might Duy took a breath and then deactivated the Eight Inner Gates state within his body.

Behind them, Gekko Shusaku, who was holding a sword and in a state of Transparent Escape, looked stunned and incredulous.

Although he knew about the Eight Inner Gates and had heard of its power, hearing about it and witnessing it firsthand were two completely different things.

The scene before my eyes was truly shocking.

Might Duy muttered a few words, then scratched his head, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Huh! When Flying Raijin Formation comes over, doesn't it usually have a landing point?"

Although he didn't know the specific principles of the Flying Raijin Formation Technique, he vaguely remembered that teleportation would leave a marker that usually needed to be retrieved.

Then...

Might Duy then looked around.

"Jonin, what are you looking for?"

Gekko Shusaku an appearance.

Might Duy was startled and launched a flying kick—

This is simply because the body reacts faster than the brain.

Finally, he stopped using force.

"Ahem, sorry!"

"It's nothing, I'm relieved to see you're still full of energy."

Gekko Shusaku let out a sigh of relief.

This level of forbidden technique, used without any consequences...

That's amazing!

"It's nothing, just opening Sixth Gate doesn't cause much damage, it's just a bit tiring, but I'm used to it."

Might Duy chuckled.

Then, he reached out to pick up the body.

Gekko Shusaku immediately stopped him. "No need for all that trouble!"

Then, he took out the scroll and sealed it directly.

By now, he roughly understood why they possessed such formidable combat power.

Although Might Duy possessed formidable Taijutsu skills and was terrifying and versatile enough after opening the Eight Inner Gates, he was indeed severely lacking in many aspects.

Basically, he's unlikely to become a Jonin leading regular missions, but he might be able to participate in some S-rank missions.

but.

In peacetime, S-class missions are usually very rare.

but.

Having such people in the village, who also enjoy exercising and playing sports, really gives one a great sense of security.

"He's still alive, don't worry. Inoichi, investigate."

Tsunade the Jinin Akebino, still had anger on her face, but she still provided some medical support.

Then, she walked toward the boy who was standing blankly in front of the wooden house.

Although the flames had been extinguished, there was no doubt that the body inside was burned beyond recognition, even—

None of them were intact.

Explosive Tag and Water Style Ninjutsu scattered the corpse into pieces, leaving only a rough outline.

Tsunade frowned, then looked at Obito beside her.

She vaguely remembered that the family living here was an elderly woman; they probably had no direct connection to Obito.

How did the two of them get together?

and.

It seems that Obito was still very sad after the other person's death.

"Obito..."

Tsunade had only uttered two words when she saw Obito turn his head to look at her, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually fading.

Two- Tomoe.

Are you alright?

"It's nothing, thank you, Lord Hokage."

Wipe away your tears with Obito.

He looked at the house, his eyes filled with confusion. "Lord Hokage, why are there wars in the world?"

"This..."

Tsunade remained silent.

This was a question she found very difficult to answer.

Peace, war.

This is an age-old mystery in the Shinobi World, and to this day, no one has been able to solve it.

After pondering for a long time, she looked at the wooden house and said, "Between countries, where territories border each other, there will always be many problems due to conflicts of interest and unfulfilled desires."

She knew a little about Obito.

Not smart.

His academic performance was very poor; before the academic subjects were taught, he was consistently at the bottom of the class.

but.

Since the change in format, the proportion of academic subjects has decreased, while the proportion of elective courses such as Ninjutsu and Taijutsu has increased, and Obito's grades have gradually improved.

While he may not be outstanding in many areas, his Ninjutsu is certainly commendable.

certainly.

What Tsunade liked most was Obito's kindness.

so.

"When problems become too numerous to be resolved through dialogue and communication, war ensues..."

"Is there no way to eliminate war and achieve complete peace?"

Obito's eyes were filled with confusion.

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and said, "Do you know my grandfather?"

"Grandfather... the First Hokage?"

Obito's memory wasn't very good when it came to knowledge, but he still remembered the relationship between Tsunade and Hashirama Senju.

and.

He also knew that Hashirama Senju the Shinobi World for over a decade!

When the First Hokage was mentioned, his face was filled with admiration.

Tsunade sighed, "Even my grandfather only maintained peace for a short time. After he passed away, the Shinobi World quickly descended into chaos, and that led to the First Shinobi World War..."

These...

Obito didn't know.

He was deeply shocked by what he heard, and at the same time felt an indescribable sadness and despair.

He was not despairing that the "old woman" could not be brought back to life.

Just as the old woman said.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the most inevitable yet natural things in the world. The other person is old and has already come to terms with it.

What drove him to despair was--

Even Hashirama Senju couldn't maintain complete peace in the Shinobi World, so what could a ninja with mediocre talent like him possibly do?

Obito stared at the house before him and fell silent.

Peace.

That was really tough!

He helped set up a grave, then left without lingering in the place.

Obito felt--

He never wanted to go back to this place again.

After everyone had left, a person emerged from the ground, his shadow twisting and merging with it.

"How cruel!"

"A heartless person wouldn't care about these things, but this Uchiha would care a lot."

Black Zetsu chuckled.

The first step of the plan is complete!

Upon Awakening, one immediately sees Two Tomoe.

Absolutely perfect!

Even Madara Uchiha was only at this level back then, not even as good as Obito.

The power of the spots...

The reason lies in his own great abilities. For Madara, the Sharingan was merely a tool to reach the strongest, not something he relied on.

But it's different with Obito.

This guy's talent is average, but he's very sentimental and his emotions fluctuate wildly...

"His eyes might be even better than Ban's!"

Maybe.

This guy is his most perfect creation.

Black Zetsu thought to himself.

White Zetsu, unaware of his thoughts, sighed and then disappeared into the ground, walking out as they went. "So, what should we do next? Kill his other grandmother?"

How could they be so cruel?

Black Zetsu smiled faintly and said, "I wonder if the Uchiha still remembers someone named Madara Uchiha?"

The next morning.

Inside the Uchiha Clan Compound, Obito found Shisui and hurriedly went up to ask him a question.

"Hashirama Senju? Why are you asking that?"

Shisui looked at Obito with a puzzled expression.

This cousin...

That's weird.

"Nothing, I just wanted to find out more. I didn't know much about him before. Just how strong is he?"

Obito asked.

His understanding of Hashirama Senju was limited to impressions such as "invincible" and "God of Shinobi," and nothing more.

Shisui thought for a moment and said, "Do you know Madara Uchiha?"

"Madara Uchiha? I know him, but I don't know much about him."

Obito shook his head.

All he knew was...

Madara Uchiha was a very strong ninja in the clan, but he was once forbidden from being mentioned by the clan members, and in recent years fewer and fewer people know about him.

Helpless, Shisui had no choice but to start explaining the science to him from the beginning.

After a bit of science explanation...

Obito understands.

Madara Uchiha was very powerful and great in his time. He participated in the construction of the village. Later, they parted ways due to various ideological conflicts.

but.

Hashirama Senju was even stronger; even Madara Uchiha was no match for him.

No wonder!

Obito sighed.

People like this include Madara Uchiha...

The two had joined forces and cooperated, yet they still couldn't achieve peace in the Shinobi World. What could one person do alone?

He remained silent for a few seconds, then stood up and thanked him.

Shisui watched him leave, feeling that Obito acting strangely today. He chased after him, asking, "Obito, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like I've suddenly grown up, but also more confused."

Obito sighed.

In the past, he never considered heavy things like war, peace, or life and death; he only ever chased after Lin.

And now.

The more you know, the more troubles you have.

Shisui smiled and said, "Everyone goes through this phase."

"Ah?"

Obito looked down at Shisui, who was shorter than him, and said, "Have you ever been in a similar situation?"

"Yes, why wouldn't you?"

Shisui nodded, then shared a small part of his troubles with Obito.

Basically, it only talks about the current situation of the Uchiha and the conflicts between them and the villagers.

Obito listened, his heart heavy.

Is the Uchiha also in danger?

I felt absolutely nothing...

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had been too arrogant.

Maybe.

I haven't grown up yet.

Obito glanced at Shisui and sighed heavily, "Compared to you, I always feel like I'm more of a child."

"Obito is also excellent."

"Tch! I'm leaving!"

Obito waved and quickly ran away.

If it were the old him, he would definitely have shown off his awakened Sharingan to Shisui, demonstrating that he was indeed a genius, and even more talented than Shisui.

But now.

He suddenly lost interest.

like...

That kind of behavior was indeed very childish and didn't act like a normal elder should.

Obito silently departed to continue his training.

We still need to improve our strength!

If he had been strong enough, he wouldn't have been powerless to stop his opponent from dying yesterday, and wouldn't have even been captured by him.

If Tsunade hadn't saved him, he might be dead now, or have had his eyes gouged out by her.

Obito's steps were heavy.

Shisui watched Obito leave, then fell into deep thought.

What happened to Obito?

"If only he were here, he would definitely know the news."

Shisui Shui sighed inwardly.

pity.

During this time, he did not see Kyohiko by the lake, nor did he see Kakashi in the village, which showed that these people must have all gone out to carry out important missions.

Is the Shinobi World about to descend into chaos again?

He couldn't help but feel somewhat worried.

In the afternoon, Obito considered going to talk to Rin Nohara.

But I didn't see Lin at all.

He returned home dejectedly.

That night, on his Obito, Obito overheard people talking.

Do you know the Naka River?

"Naka Shrine?"

Obito's ears twitched, and he quickly moved closer to the wall, where he saw a child and an old man sitting opposite each other on the other side.

"Yes, the Naka River, that's where the Uchiha rose to power, and it's our ancient clan territory. It's a pity it's abandoned now!"

The old man sighed.

"Naka River..."

The child muttered to himself.

The old man nodded. "No matter what, you must remember the Naka River and the Naka Shrine over there. That's where our pride lies, where the legacy of our Uchiha Clan is buried!"

He concluded with a deep sense of pride.

The child nodded.

"Grandpa, I will definitely remember this!"

"Um."

The old man nodded in satisfaction.

Obito outside was stunned for a moment.

Naka River.

What kind of place is that, where the "legacy" of the Uchiha Clan is hidden?

He paused slightly, then quickly ran home.

With a map at home, I'm sure I can find the Naka River.

Before long, Obito pulled out an old map from his house, which depicted the terrain around Konoha. However, it was clear that many of the areas on the map represented the areas that had now been expanded.

However.

There was a place up there that he had never seen on the map of Konoha before.

Naka River!

The birthplace of the Uchiha.

At night, he quietly slipped out of his clan's territory and headed towards the Naka River.

He ran wildly, got lost, corrected his direction, and ran again until late at night, finally arriving at the so-called Naka River and finding the Naka Shrine.

This so-called "place of rise".

Just as Obito was getting excited, he heard a noise.

He immediately hid.

Then, Obito saw the elders of the clan emerge from one place, with Fugaku Uchiha being the last to walk out.

The patriarch of the family!

He was utterly astonished.

Do the elders and important figures in the family all know the secret of the Naka Shrine?!

Why don't they tell everyone!

Obito was both surprised and angry, feeling that these people were hiding secrets and deceiving their clansmen, while at the same time becoming increasingly curious about the secrets within.

After waiting for a long time, until he himself was getting sleepy, the people on that side finally left.

Obito carefully crept over.

After some searching, he found the entrance to the tunnel, and then...

finally.

He found the Stone Tablet.

There were some obscure words written on it that he couldn't understand at all, but then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something in the dark corner.

The end of a scroll was faintly visible in the soil beneath the steps.

Obito, keeping the soil with you.

It really is a scroll!

He carefully dug it out and took out the scroll inside.

Upon opening it, he found the writing was old and worn, but the signature was from someone he hadn't expected.

Madara Uchiha!

Obito was deeply impressed.

This scroll was actually left behind by Madara Uchiha!

He looked at it eagerly.

Then, Obito's eyes changed from joy to surprise, and he immediately walked to the Stone Tablet and tried to Awakening.

A short while later--

Through his Two-Tomoe Sharingan, he discovered that he could actually read the text.

The secret of the "Mangekyō Sharingan"!

It corresponds to the one on the scroll.
