Somewhere in the Land of Grass.

Obito Uchiha emerged from underground and began scavenging resources in the forest.

"Senior, how did you manage that?"

"What?"

"Chakra? I don't have that much Chakra, and my Earth Style Ninjutsu is terrible; I can't even create Earth Style Chakra right now."

Obito answered.

Black Zetsu laughed, "This is a very simple method. As for Chakra, you forgot, I am a special combination of the power of my ancestors and Madara 'Chakra. Giving you even a little bit will definitely be enough."

"Oh, yes."

Obito spoke, he ate wild fruit with gusto.

After barely managing to fill his stomach with wild fruits and water, he let out a sigh and said, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought Military Ration Pill. At least I wouldn't have gone hungry."

"That's already very good."

Black Zetsu chuckled, "Back in our day, war was frequent. One wrong move in the wilderness and you could run into the enemy. We didn't need any reason to fight..."

He sighed.

"So, in a sense, Hashirama Senju and my strategy did achieve a certain degree of peace in the Shinobi World, but this peace was very short-lived."

Black Zetsu has become addicted to the role.

He completely immersed himself in the role of Madara.

To deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.

Completely believe that you are Madara, and speak and think from Madara's perspective in everything you do and say, so that you don't reveal any flaws.

Moreover...

In front of Madara, he also plays the role of another spiritual entity of Madara, so the two do not conflict and there is no need to worry about revealing his true colors.

During this time, Obito heard many stories from Black Zetsu about what happened back then.

therefore...

Having experienced the chaos and cruelty of that time, he felt a strong connection to it all and couldn't help but admire Madara and Hashirama Senju's greatness once again upon hearing this.

"The senior is right. To explore the path to eternal peace, this little hardship is nothing!"

Obito encouraged himself.

Then, he looked around, a look of confusion on his face. "But, senior, where is this place?"

"Have no idea."

"Ah?"

Obito was stunned for a moment, "You don't know where this is, why did you bring me here!"

He originally thought that "Ban" had a very clear direction and knew where to go, which was why it guided him all the way.

result.

It turns out the other party wasn't aware of it either.

Black Zetsu glanced at him and said, "Back in our time, although there were many more countries and ninja villages, the borders and terrain still changed slightly over time."

He paused for a moment before answering.

"However, we should already be outside the Land of Fire. Besides, I have a strange connection with the real Madara. I can sense that he's in this area. As long as we head towards this location, we shouldn't go wrong."

Is that so?

Obito believed it again.

He mustered his courage and said, "Okay, then let's keep Lightning Style: Earth Flash firmly in the right direction! Even if we fail, it will still be a life without regrets!"

As he spoke, Obito let out a howl.

Black Zetsu chuckled inwardly.

Then, he offered his suggestions.

"Obito, before that, we need to find a suitable person to get clothes and money from. Your clothes are too conspicuous, and if it's not too dangerous, we don't need to use Earth Style to travel all the time."

"You can't take other people's things!"

Obito refused outright.

Black Zetsu was slightly taken aback, and was genuinely dumbfounded for a second.

"We can borrow some from the nobles. They have many unused clothes and money. Taking them would allow them to circulate instead of sitting in warehouses and rotting."

"Well... okay."

Obito was quickly persuaded.

Black Zetsu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Obito has many advantages and disadvantages, but his biggest advantage is that he is easy to deceive.

As long as what he says makes some sense, he will believe it and carry it out earnestly and without any doubt.

The Land of Fire, in another place.

"They were here, looting the surrounding wild fruit."

"Yes, it is definitely Obito's aura."

Gaku Inuzuka nodded. "Minato, shall we continue the pursuit?"

The one leading the pursuit of Obito was none other than Minato Namikaze.

This was also the result of Tsunade's careful consideration.

Minato Namikaze is strong enough to protect himself and his comrades under any circumstances, and he is accompanied by his old friend Gaku Inuzuka.

The two worked together seamlessly, and the Inuzuka Clan's Ninja Hound also provided great assistance.

also...

Smoke swirled around.

A figure appeared.

"Sir, this is some intelligence we've gathered."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Minato Namikaze nodded, took the Intelligence Scroll from the other party, and the next second, the members of the Iburi Clan Body Flicker Technique disappeared.

Gaku Inuzuka couldn't help but sigh, "The Iburi Clan's abilities aren't particularly powerful in battle, but they are certainly very competent and useful as intelligence and spy ninjas."

"Indeed, um--"

Minato Namikaze stared at the scroll in his hand, lost in thought for a moment.

Based on the contents of the scroll.

Aside from a few instances of collecting Devil Fruits and water, Obito Uchiha was mostly fragmented and discontinuous.

In other words...

The opponent kept using Earth Style to travel?

"What's wrong?"

"The people who instigated Obito Earth Style, and they may also have methods to replenish their Chakra."

Analysis of Minato Namikaze.

"Is their trajectory heading towards the Land of Grass, and then through the Land of Water Land of Grass?"

That makes sense.

Minato Namikaze already had a plan in mind.

He took out a pen and paper, quickly sent a message to Wuwei using the Flying Thunder God, and then let out a breath.

"Let's speed things up and head straight to the Land of Grass!"

"Good."

In the Land of Grass, Obito "borrowed" a set of clothes and money, and walked through the streets, looking around while muttering to himself, "I know, this must be the Land of Grass."

"So this is the poor little country. No wonder I couldn't remember where I was."

Black Zetsu sighed.

Obito, then curious, asked why the Land of Grass was so pitiful.

Black Zetsu naturally provided some background information.

certainly.

He hadn't forgotten that he was now "Madara Uchiha".

As they were writing this popular science article, Black Zetsu suddenly felt a thought and sensed a gaze directed their way.

"Come on, someone has spotted us!"

He urged.

Obito immediately quickened his pace, and soon, Obito sensed someone rapidly approaching.

"Run!"

"Don't rush."

If you're going to put on a show, go all the way.

Black Zetsu subtly activated his Chakra, granting Obito the ability to use Earth Style and teleport.

The next moment.

Knock knock knock!

One by one, Kunai fell around him, and then a figure quickly appeared.

"Obito Uchiha, come back with me."

"Who are you..."

Obito looked up, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

Minato Namikaze!

Although he wasn't familiar with Minato Namikaze, he knew the other's nickname.

Yellow Flash.

In terms of speed, it's almost the same as Kyohiko Yoshimine, or even a bit faster.

There's no escape!

Obito was anxious--

We must not fall here!

Sharingan, activate!

With the Two Tomoe, his perception was greatly enhanced, but...

The next instant, light and shadow flickered before my eyes.

I can't see it!

I can't see it at all!

It's over!

"It turns out, the gap between me and them is so huge..."

A deep sense of despair flashed through his mind.

In Obito heart, Obito already felt he was doomed.

Although he wasn't a ninja, as a student in his final year at the Ninja Academy, he knew very well what leaving the village without a reason meant.

Missing-nin!

The fate of missing-nin...

Before his eyes, it seemed as if he was recalling the experiences of the past eleven or twelve years, but in the end, Obito felt a wave of sorrow.

like--

Aside from some people and things he cared about, there wasn't much else to reminisce about.

"My life has been a complete failure!"

A thought flashed through Obito's mind.

The next moment.

A flash before my eyes--

He discovered that he was already in a patch of earth.

They escaped? They escaped?

Just as I was feeling relieved, a Barrier rose up in front of me.

"Relax!"

Black Zetsu said quickly.

He originally intended to force Obito to Awakening his Obito quickly by creating a crisis, but in the end, he failed.

Obito's current situation may not be due to a crisis or his emotions, but rather his physical condition.

but.

That's not a problem.

Perfectly, the crisis can also lead to his subsequent plans.

Black Zetsu, carrying Obito, quickly descended. Seeing that the Barrier was about to close, Obito's speed suddenly increased.

Immediately afterward, Obito nearly let out a scream—

From underground, a white creature grinned at him, then grabbed his hand and sped away.

"Ahh!"

Amidst screams, Obito felt as if he wasn't traversing the earth, but rather "swimming" in a sea of sand at an astonishing speed, his entire body aching slightly.

"Who is he?"

"I don't know, but they might actually be 'my' subordinates."

Black Zetsu answered.

Obito screamed repeatedly, saying, "At least slow down! My body..."

"If you're slow, you'll be caught! Run!"

White Zetsu retorted.

The next instant, Obito felt as if he had passed through a layer of soil and arrived at an open area, and then—

Thump!

It fell to the ground.

Pain!

My whole body aches!

Obito grimaced, nearly fainting.

At that moment, an aged voice rang out.

"A familiar scent."

"Chakra from so long ago... I never imagined I'd be able to find it again, but..."

"Who are you?"

An aged voice came from above. Obito, lying on the ground, struggled to Awakening and look up. He then saw an old man, so withered and unrecognizable, in the dim cave.

Beside him, a Kama and a Gunbai stood out.

Behind the old man, thick, peculiar "tubes" extended from the terrifying colossus above into his body.

"So you are my ancestor, Madara Uchiha? My name is Obito Uchiha..."

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened, his face filled with wild joy. A few seconds later, everything went black and he quickly lost consciousness.

At that moment, Black Zetsu emerged from his body.

"It looks like he fainted from the pain."

"You did a great job, even better than I expected, even though you brought back an idiot."

Ban chuckled softly.

Black Zetsu said, "Konoha is too cautious. They didn't even let the Uchiha participate in the previous Shinobi World War. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble; they could have just kidnapped one during the war."

"It doesn't matter. A kind but foolish person is perfect for us to influence and manipulate; he'll be more likely to believe me."

Ban answered calmly.

Black Zetsu said, "That's what I think too."

"Take him away and fuse some of his White Zetsu cells with his. He's too weak right now; to Awakening quickly, we need to modify his physique."

"Yes!"

In Tsunade's office in Konoha, Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara looked at Tsunade and Kyohiko with expectant expressions.

"If Minato- senpai intervenes, he'll definitely be able to bring him back, right?"

"This..."

Tsunade had no choice but to look at Kyohiko.

She doesn't have much experience in comforting girls!

Kyohiko pondered how to tell them tactfully--

Even if Minato Namikaze were to intervene, there's a high probability he wouldn't be able to capture Obito.

He could tell that it was Black Zetsu who made the move.

Once they escaped the Land of Fire, they would infiltrate Madara's hiding place. With the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Black Zetsu blocking their way, no one could find Madara's residence.

Just thinking...

Kyohiko sensed a fluctuation of Chakra.

Have to!

No need to use your brain.

Kyohiko waited a moment, and then a Toad emerged from the air, landed on the table, looked around, and finally fixed its gaze on Kyohiko.

News from Minato!

"The mission failed. Obito was taken away. The enemy has a master of Earth Style Release to help him. In addition, there is something controlling Obito that he cannot sense."

"Toad that's delivering the message said."

"I understand. Where did Minato chase after them?"

"The Land of Grass."

"Is there any other intelligence?"

"That's all, quack!"

The Toad responded.

Kyohiko nodded, dispelling the other party, and then, regaining his senses, saw—

All four women were looking at him.

Tsunade, Shizune, and also Kurenai Yuhi and Rin.

"Did everyone hear that?"

Kyohiko looked at Tsunade, "Lord Hokage, I think we can confirm that the other party is some kind of spiritual entity, possessing special Chakra that can evade most sensory methods."

"What a hassle!"

Tsunade rubbed her temples. "Damn Madara, even in death he won't give us peace. And as you said, they must be connected to the Land of Water and Kirigakure. Otherwise, why would Kirigakure cooperate with them?"

"Is this retaliation from Kirigakure? After all, quite a few Kaguya Clan have settled in Konoha."

Shizune holding the documents.

Although the Kaguya Clan changed their names, everyone knows that these people are the inheritors of the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku).

"No, Shizune, your thinking has been misled by the other party."

Tsunade.

She rested her chin on her hand and said, "Madara doesn't care about the life or death of Kirigakure, so don't be misled by superficial reasons. His main target is still Obito."

"The Lord Hokage wise!"

Kyohiko immediately added a sentence.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, remained silent for a moment, then looked at Rin Nohara and said, "Rin, we'll do our best to bring Obito back, but he's currently under Madara's Genjutsu control. Even if we bring him back..."

She sighed.

Medical Ninjutsu can heal the body, but in the realm of the spirit, medical treatment is still in its infancy.

Rin Nohara bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage, and also Kyohiko, Kurenai..."

"Obito was also my classmate, and I definitely want to save him, but first we can't panic, otherwise we'll fall into their trap. Also, you guys need to work hard on your research into medical techniques in the mental field."

Kyohiko offered some words of comfort and encouragement.

This research is enough for her to stay in Konoha and not leave the house for a long time.
