For a time, information like snowflakes was sent to Hidden Leaf Village from all over Land of Fire.
In Hokage's office, Namikaze Minato looked at the information scroll as high as a hill, looking depressed.
Nara Shikaku took a form and reported, "Lord Hokage, the statistical results have come out."
"Six hundred and thirty-two died, and one thousand, seven hundred and sixty-five survived."
"And among these 1,765 people, 241 are seriously injured and may need to return to Hidden Leaf Village for treatment."
Nara Shikaku sighed after finishing speaking, and continued, "According to the black market rules, after the mission fails, other bounty hunters will take action again."
"So, the situation after that is not optimistic."
Namikaze Minato pursed his lips, looked at Obito aside, and asked, "How are you doing there?"
Obito took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I am contacting the person in charge of the black market, but they are very cautious and have not determined the meeting place yet."
Namikaze Minato nodded, looking hesitant.
Six hundred and thirty-two people died, representing 632 families that were broken up.
If there is no agreement with the black market, the remaining ninjas will be living targets, and more people may die.
Perhaps, the remaining Genin should be recalled?
But if it is recalled, the chakra popularization plan will be ruined.
What should we do?
Just when Namikaze Minato was hesitant, Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly opened the door and walked in, saying urgently, "Obito, there is news from the black market."
Obito's eyes narrowed, and he and Namikaze Minato looked at each other in tacit understanding, then turned and walked out.
In the reception room of the Uchiha Clan, a short old man was drinking tea leisurely.
Obito opened the door and walked in, sitting opposite the old man with sharp eyes.
The old man chuckled, "Master Obito, I am just an ordinary person, there is nothing good to see."
Obito looked at it and frowned. "Are you the person in charge of the black market?"
"No"
The old man spread his hands and chuckled, "I am Pinggu Chuan, a member of the black market, responsible for this cooperation with Lord Obito."
Obito sneered, "You are so cautious."
"In the face of Hidden Leaf Village, you can never be too cautious."
Pinggu Chuan rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Besides, the person I'm meeting this time is Mr. Obito."
"It seems I'm famous?"
Pinggu Chuan made an exaggerated gesture and said with a strange smile, "Master Obito is very famous in the black market!"
"Land of Lightning fought Eight-Tails Killer B and Raikage's heir Ai alone on the battlefield. The two of them fled in embarrassment. Their combat power is enough to rival the Kage of all major ninja villages."
"In the past six months, we have worked together with Fourth Hokage to launch various incredible reforms, which are amazing."
"Moreover, Vajra Talisman, which Master Obito personally refined, is priced at a sky-high price on the black market."
"I wonder if I am lucky enough to be able to get one from Lord Obito?"
Obito stared at Pinggu Chuan with a faint smile, "You are very brave!"
"If you don't have the courage, you won't come."
Pinggu Chuan picked up a cup of tea and raised it to Obito.
No oil or salt can enter!
Obito sighed in his heart, stopped probing further, and said, "Tell me, what are your requirements?"
Pinggu Chuan chuckled and put the tea cup down.
"This is negotiation."
"Our request is also very simple. We just want to have some cooperation with Mr. Obito."
"Oh?" Obito smiled thoughtfully and asked, "What is it specifically?"
Pinggu Chuan scratched his head, took out a crumpled piece of paper from his crotch, and spread it on the table.
"I heard that Konoha Library contains countless secret techniques, many of which were created by Master Obito."
"We are not greedy either. We only want ten secret techniques such as Knight Breathing Technique, Book of Goose Illusions, Voodoo Poison Arts..."
"After we get it, we will immediately cancel the reward mission."
"I will never accept such a mission even in the future."
Obito looked deeply and chuckled, "You guys know it quite clearly."
Pinggu Chuan smiled complacently, "There is no place better informed than the black market. I wonder what Mr. Obito's decision is?"
Obito snorted, "Impossible."
Pinggu Chuan shook his head regretfully and said with a calm smile, "It seems that thousands of Hidden Leaf Village Genin are going to die with me."
After finishing speaking, Pinggu Chuan fell straight to the ground.
"Sure enough"
Obito sighed, stood up and walked out, telling Uchiha Aoki: "Send the body to the Interrogation Department and let Yamanaka Clan check the memory."
Watching Uchiha Aoki move the body away, Obito frowned.
With the level of caution in the black market, there is a high probability that nothing will be gained. Obito is just a precaution.
But now that negotiations with the black market have collapsed, how should we deal with it?
Obito walked around the room, gradually sorting out his thoughts.
This time Hidden Leaf Village was so passive because thousands of Genin were scattered all over Land of Fire, and some nobles reported their locations to the black market, causing them to be destroyed one by one by bounty hunters.
How should we break the situation?
Obito stared at the Land of Fire map on the wall, countless thoughts passing through his mind.
If you want to break the situation, there are two key points.
First, destroy Land of Fire and all Underground Exchange as soon as possible.
Second, temporarily ensure the safety of the remaining Hidden Leaf Village Genin.
But Hidden Leaf Village only has tens of thousands of ninjas in total, and they also have to defend the border, so it is difficult to mobilize a large number of manpower.
Thinking of this, Obito's eyes flashed and he whispered, "It seems that we need to invite foreign aid this time."
Obito At home, Nine-Tails shook his head violently. "No, absolutely not, you want to drain me dry!"
Obito smiled brightly and advised, "Just three days, I promise, the matter will be resolved within three days."
Nine-Tails turned his head to the side and hummed. "It's not possible anyway, tens of thousands of White Zetsu, you can say it out loud, do you think I am Ten Tails?"
Obito crossed his arms and deliberately mocked. "You can't afford to lose, you owe me dozens of conditions."
Shukaku was also cheering. "Last time Obito asked me to dance, I didn't refuse."
"Kurama, you can't do it."
Nine-Tails glared at Shukaku who was gloating about his misfortune, and said angrily, "Who said I can't do it? It's only three days, no more."
"No problem."
Obito smiled brightly.
Before Uchiha Madara died, he told Obito how to control White Zetsu's army.
Theoretically, Obito can control an army of one hundred thousand White Zetsu.
But this is only theoretical.
In fact, except for Black Zetsu and the special White Zetsu Tobi, all other White Zetsu require a continuous supply of chakra.
An army of one hundred thousand White Zetsu may only be supplied by Ten Tails.
Following Obito to an underground secret room, Nine-Tails was a little uneasy. He pulled Shukaku, who was laughing non-stop, and said angrily, "You're just laughing, you can help me share the burden later."
Shukaku's face collapsed. "No, your chakra is dozens of times mine."
Nine-Tails bared his teeth and threatened. "If you don't help, I will beat you every day."
Shukaku raised his head. "Do you think I will give in?"
"Huh?" Nine-Tails's body ignited with fiery red chakra.
Shukaku coughed lightly and said sincerely, "Forget it, I see how pitiful you are, so I will help you."
Obito At this time, Mangekyō Sharingan has been opened and pressed on the ground with one hand.
"Summoning Technique"
After a burst of white smoke, the mottled and strange Demonic Statue of the Outer Path fell to the ground.
"Ten Tails ah" Nine-Tails and Shukaku's expressions were a bit complicated.
Obito looked at the two beasts and asked, "Are you ready? I'm starting."
Nine-Tails gritted his teeth, looked at Shukaku and nodded.
Obito's handprints changed, and Demonic Statue of the Outer Path stretched out two chains, wrapping them around the waists of Nine-Tails and Shukaku.
"Hiss"
Feeling the chakra being sucked in like crazy, Shukaku took a breath and complained, "Slow down, I don't want to be sucked dry."
Obito nodded speechlessly and slowed down a little.
At the same time, in a huge and empty underground cave, countless white humanoid creatures opened their eyes.
Obito's eyes moved and he asked, "Thirty thousand White Zetsu have already woken up, can you hold on?"
Nine-Tails gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, please hurry up, this feeling is so strange."
Obito nodded, changed the seal in his hand, and issued his order to thirty thousand White Zetsu through his contact with Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
The White Zetsus blended into the ground expressionlessly and slowly dispersed to Land of Fire places.
"Get it done"
Feeling relieved, Obito looked at the uncomfortable Nine-Tails and Shukaku, and said sincerely, "Kurama, Shukaku, thank you."
Shukaku smiled nonchalantly, "If you treat me to a drink from now on, I want it to be two hundred years old."
Nine-Tails raised his head proudly. "I'm just willing to admit defeat. Don't think I want to help you."
"Yes yes"
Obito nodded funny and said softly, "I will be here with you these days."
Nine-Tails curled his lips and said, "You don't have to worry about us, just go and do your work if you have something to do."
Obito said with a smile on his lips, "No, it just so happens that we continue to fight the landlords and wait for the demise of the black market."
