Farewell, Obito! 4K

It took Uchiha Fugaku quite a while to come to his senses.

Is this the style of the First?

I love it!

No wonder I always heard the adults in my clan cursing the Second Hokage and Third Hokage when I was a Tenten, but I never saw anyone cursing the First Hokage!

In other words, Uchiha Fugaku didn't smoke; otherwise, he would probably be comfortably lighting one right now, reminiscing about the past.

Having experienced this firsthand journey, Uchiha Fugaku now had complete faith in Senju Hashirama's eloquence. He was afraid that his presence would affect the performance of the great God of Shinobi. Thus, the Uchiha Clan Head, who was already in the position of Hokage's assistant and had a lot of miscellaneous matters to attend to, waited silently at the entrance to the underground prison.

Quite some time has passed, Senju Hashirama still hasn't come out.

Uchiha Fugaku was struck by Uchiha Obito's stubbornness, but at the same time, he saw that others were also heading in the same direction.

This is the heartland of the Uchiha Clan, and it's currently a time of war. All the Uchiha Clan's elite troops have returned to their posts, so outsiders can't sneak here.

Once they reached a position where they could see clearly, Uchiha Fugaku discovered that the people who had arrived were Senju Muzoku and Tsunade.

Uchiha Shingen was with the two of them.

Black Zetsu, who claimed to be the embodiment of Uchiha Madara's will, was also there.

So... what kind of approach is this?

Uchiha Fugaku was a little confused.

Putting aside Senju Muzoku and Tsunade, Black Zetsu, the embodiment of will, was mentioned by Uchiha Shingen when he first reported on Uchiha Obito's situation.

The other party was in the Uchiha Obito at the time.

Now...

He seemed to be quite close to Uchiha Shingen, but Uchiha Fugaku did not consider Black Zetsu one of his own because of this.

Private relationships don't mean anything.

Wasn't he on good terms with Namikaze Minato? But when it came to official business, they always followed the proper procedures.

This Black Zetsu, and its relationship with Uchiha Shingen, would, in principle, be similar.

These days, possessing powerful Chakra means you can easily enjoy a comfortable life. If someone clearly possesses powerful Chakra but prefers to live a life of hardship, they either have grand ideals and goals, or they are particularly foolish.

Uchiha Fugaku believed that Black Zetsu was the former.

He didn't believe in the embodiment of will; he thought the other person was a powerful ninja.

Moreover, the other person is definitely not someone who values emotions very much.

For example, the other party seemed to abandon Uchiha Obito very easily.

More than ten years have passed, Uchiha Obito has finally returned to the Uchiha Clan, albeit in a different way.

But... it seems to have gone a little too smoothly.

Or... is there a larger conspiracy at play?

Could it be that all of this was arranged by Uchiha Madara?

If that's the case, it would actually put some peace of mind, since even if Uchiha Madara had plans, he wouldn't go so far as to target the Uchiha Clan.

"Lord Wu Zu, Lady Tsunade," Uchiha Fugaku greeted them.

"Oh, I remember your name is Fugaku, isn't it?" Senju Muzoku laughed. "Who has such a great honor to have you, the dignified head of a clan, guard the gate?"

"Clan Chief Fugaku, you flatter me," Tsunade replied.

Even in the presence of a person with Senju Muzoku, she still paid great attention to etiquette.

The same was true before Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.

But with other people, she has no such inhibitions and will do whatever she wants.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't control her.

"No, we're overjoyed that you're back in the village," said Uchiha Fugaku. "If you and Lord Jiraiya are willing to stay this time, that would be even better."

The old folks of Hidden Leaf Village from the same generation as Sarutobi Hiruzen have completely retired.

Their physical condition is no longer at the level they were in their prime.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, if he didn't use those forbidden techniques that could exchange one for one, his combat strength wouldn't actually be considered Kage Level anymore; he's just too old.

His physical strength and reflexes have severely deteriorated. Although he still has plenty of combat experience, old age is old age.

Currently, among the Kage Level in the village, if we disregard the Tailed Beasts, the Uchiha Clan and Hokage factions are evenly split. However, if we consider the Tailed Beasts' power, then we also have Uzumaki Kushina. On the surface, the Hokage faction still has the upper hand.

But this is conditional: Tsunade and Jiraiya return to support the Hokage system.

Therefore, as Uchiha Fugaku said, many people hope that the remaining two of the Legendary Sannin can stay in the village permanently and stop running away and disappearing.

Uchiha Fugaku declined to comment.

"Clan leader, who went down there?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

Negotiating with yourself is truly exhausting.

However, Uchiha Shingen could only play along, since the fact that he had successfully reincarnated was a secret he would never tell anyone.

He would not underestimate people's desire for immortality.

Once this secret is revealed, it will cause endless trouble.

We're all adults; trouble isn't just when someone comes to our door to challenge us to a fight.

"It was the First Hokage," Uchiha Fugaku said. "I happened to run into the First Hokage, so I reported the situation to him. After hearing about it, the First Hokage decided to meet Obito in person."

"I see..." Uchiha Shingen looked at the entrance.

He felt it was better for him not to go down.

It wouldn't be good if they found out.

Hashirama, that guy, can be quite blunt at times...

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Farewell, Obito! 4K

"Since my elder brother has already gone down, I'll go down and take a look too," said Senju Muzoku, and then went down inside.

After thinking it over, Uchiha Shingen finally decided to go down there.

After all, this was probably his last chance to send Obito off on his way.

Although he had long known that his neighbor was stubborn from a young age, and extremely so, he had indeed tried to pull him back.

The saying "Character determines destiny" is very apt when applied to Uchiha Obito.

"Chieftain, aren't you going down to take a look?"

"No, Shingen, you go." Uchiha Fugaku said.

If we want Senju Hashirama to give Uchiha Shingen a better positive evaluation before leaving, then we should give Uchiha Shingen as much time as possible to spend one-on-one with Senju Hashirama.

Having served as clan leader for so many years, Uchiha Fugaku knew very well that someone like Uchiha Shingen was the only Uchiha Clan who had the potential to break through the limitations imposed on the clan within the village.

If even Uchiha Shingen couldn't do that, then the current level represents the limit of the Uchiha Clan.

"Alright, clan leader." Uchiha Shingen nodded, then turned to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, would you like to come along?"

"No, I have no interest in that kind of thing." Tsunade her head.

She is now more interested in the Uchiha Fugaku side and hopes to learn more about her "cousin's" family through this clan head.

The descendants of Uncle Wu Zu are actually in the Uchiha Clan. If Second Grandfather finds out, Uncle Wu Zu will probably repeat the daily routine of the Great Escape from Leaf Village.

Uchiha Shingen was unaware of Tsunade's inner thoughts at that moment.

His invitation was just lip service; he genuinely didn't want Tsunade to join in the fun.

Given Uchiha Obito's style, Tsunade might Super Strength Punch in no time.

That was at least a fist capable of breaking Susanoo.

Therefore, he stopped pretending to be polite and went straight into the underground prison.

Although it's said to be underground, it's not actually very deep, and it's only a single layer.

Descending the steps from the entrance, Uchiha Shingen soon reached the bottom.

The corridor is designed to be straight through, with the cells on both sides.

So Uchiha Shingen, who was already standing on the corridor floor tiles, immediately spotted Senju Hashirama and Senju Muzoku in the distance.

For a moment, Uchiha Shingen was momentarily lost in thought as he gazed at the red-armored figure sitting on the ground.

However, he adjusted quickly.

After all, I was mentally prepared for all of this.

He walked along the corridor.

The conversation between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Obito was clearly audible, but as for its content, Uchiha Shingen felt it was rather uninformative.

A communication style Senju Hashirama is ineffective against stubborn individuals.

Uchiha Obito was actually even more Uchiha Madara.

If you hit the nail on the head, he'll change his ways very quickly; if you don't, there's simply no way to communicate with him.

Regarding this, Uchiha Shingen believed that when Uchiha Madara first met Obito, he must have really wanted to punch him.

It was fortunate that Uchiha Fugaku thought of asking Senju Hashirama for help.

This really is the only suitable person.

As Uchiha Shingen approached, Senju Hashirama, who was chatting with Uchiha Obito, also turned around.

The Impure World Reincarnation, since it includes the word "reincarnation," can largely be described as lifelike, ignoring the eyes.

The Impure World Reincarnation, once officially activated, appears quite vibrant on the surface.

If it weren't for the inevitable cracking of her skin due to the activities of her reincarnated form, she would be considered incredibly delicate.

"Young man, who are you?" Senju Hashirama looked at the other young Uchiha Clan who was walking towards him, and the other person gave him a very familiar feeling.

Moreover, it's that kind of warmth that comes from spending so much time together.

Senju Hashirama trusted his instincts, and this talent greatly helped him in battle.

In the cell, Uchiha Obito also looked over upon hearing the noise.

When he saw Uchiha Shingen, he was taken aback at first, and then a slight sense of embarrassment arose in his heart.

After all, he's had plastic surgery on his appearance.

But now he appears before Uchiha Shingen in this state.

It made him very uncomfortable.

"First Hokage." Uchiha Shingen skillfully concealed his true emotions. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Uchiha Shingen."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Senju Hashirama exclaimed in surprise, "You're the Shingen they're talking about? Come here, let me see you more closely."

The intrigued God of Shinobi stood up and sized up Uchiha Shingen from head to toe.

"What a handsome young man," Senju Hashirama exclaimed. "And seeing you makes me feel so close to you, Tobi, don't you feel the same way?"

"Of course, elder brother, I came with him. We hit it off immediately," Senju Muzoku a smile.

If you met your next life, wouldn't it be like you'd known each other forever?

Uchiha Shingen glanced at Senju Muzoku.

It's been a long time since I've done something like this, playing a two-person act with my own Impure World Shadow Clone.

After all, he had used the Impure World Reincarnation halfway through this playthrough.

As for Impure World Reincarnation to deceive the enemy, that's something you've never done before.

I picked it up again, and I'm not completely rusty yet.

The act in front of Tsunade is over, even if it was a bit awkward. This way, it will be reasonable and justifiable for him to reclaim the Chakra from his first timeline.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, in the current playthrough, to ensure the accuracy of the guess and to prevent any accidents, that technique will likely be used during Chakra recovery as well, but that's not a problem.

The main problem is that, since the Impure World Reincarnation is an extension of the Pure Land power, and the first cycle has already been "recorded" by the Pure Land, as long as there are materials, others can still recreate the first cycle in the Impure World Reincarnation.
