Rin Has Always Been Watching You

After obtaining the Spirit Transformation Technique, Uchiha Ensei asked about Sealing Jutsu as well.

From Hiruzen Sarutobi, he finally learned the truth about the day of the Nine-Tails' Attack. Hiruzen Sarutobi even recommended that he study under Kushina Uzumaki.

If he had not truly understood the man's personality, he might really have believed he was a good Hokage.

No wonder Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha had been so easily brainwashed by him, even willing to betray their own clan.

Perhaps the two of them were partly to blame for being fools, but Hiruzen Sarutobi's surface-level act truly was impeccable.

When he heard that Kushina Uzumaki had not died, Uchiha Ensei understood what Hiruzen Sarutobi was planning.

It was nothing more than using the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's ability to sense good and evil to judge him, or using the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to threaten him.

None of that mattered. What mattered was that his previous actions had not been in vain.

So he had not changed nothing after all. He simply had not changed enough.

Unfortunately, the path of steady development was no longer open to him. He had already stepped onto this road filled with danger.

He wondered what his final end would be. Would he die in some extremely risky genetic-conflict experiment, or would he ultimately reach that long-desired realm of the Ōtsutsuki Clan?

After learning that Kushina Uzumaki had survived, Uchiha Ensei understood that he had completely thrown the plot into chaos. Everything that happened next was unknown.

Still, that was not bad. With Kushina Uzumaki around, it was far better than the original story, where Naruto Uzumaki had survived all alone.

As for whether Naruto Uzumaki could still occupy the protagonist's position...

It did not matter. Uchiha Ensei would deal with those troubles, not for anyone else's sake, but simply so he could live more comfortably.

He would not place his hopes on anyone else, even if that person was the so-called protagonist.

Uchiha Ensei sent a Shadow Clone Technique out of Konoha. Not long after it stepped beyond Konoha's barrier, Obito Uchiha's figure appeared out of thin air.

"It seems you've been watching me this whole time."

"By all rights, I should be able to notice that now. Did you use some other method?"

Uchiha Ensei looked curiously at Obito Uchiha. This man, who had always hidden himself in his memories, had finally discarded that ridiculous mask and revealed his true face.

"I thought you knew. So you're not omniscient after all."

There was a trace of melancholy and loss in Obito Uchiha's voice.

For all this time, he had worn a mask and pretended to be someone else.

Until not long ago, someone had forcefully torn off his false face, exposing who he truly was and making him realize once again just how empty his heart was.

Perhaps that was when he had truly begun living as a fourteen-year-old.

"Of course. No one in this world is truly omniscient."

"I just happen to know a little more than you do."

"Did you know? The deceased Nohara Rin never returned to the Pure Land. She has been watching everything you do."

Uchiha Ensei did not hesitate to twist the knife further. He still had some questions to ask now; otherwise, he would have already pulled out the Nohara Rin Unit and given Obito a few courses of treatment.

"Is that so? Then I'm quite grateful you told me."

Obito Uchiha spoke calmly, as though he had completely adapted to it. There was no sign of him breaking down.

Was this guy planning to turn over a new leaf?

"I'm curious what exactly happened. Based on what I thought, you shouldn't have this kind of attitude."

A hint of confusion flashed through Uchiha Ensei's eyes as he asked curiously.

"That... Before Shimura Danzō died, he used Impure World Reincarnation to summon Rin. As for what happened afterward, I think you can probably guess."

Obito Uchiha had no intention of hiding it. At the same time, he wanted to use this opportunity to test how much Uchiha Ensei knew about Impure World Reincarnation.

The moment he heard the words Impure World Reincarnation, Uchiha Ensei guessed everything.

Shimura Danzō had summoned Nohara Rin, then Obito Uchiha saw Nohara Rin, her soul broke free from Impure World Reincarnation, and the two resolved their emotional knot or something like that.

Seriously, this butterfly effect had gone too far.

No wonder those transmigrators all disliked changing the established plot.

With a changed timeline like this, one wrong move could easily create enormous hidden dangers for oneself.

It was even possible to get oneself killed.

"I see. But even after all that, do you still plan to carry out Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan?"

Uchiha Ensei remained utterly unconcerned about leaking intelligence.

After all, the more he knew, the greater the threat he posed to his enemies.

Of course, this deterrence had a prerequisite: he could not truly scare Black Zetsu away.

If Black Zetsu gave up on the Rinnegan and decided to hide for a few more centuries, Uchiha Ensei would be in trouble. He had no desire to spend his life under Black Zetsu's endless schemes.

Obito Uchiha was somewhat puzzled as to why Uchiha Ensei had said that.

It seemed that Uchiha Ensei believed his attitude would change after Rin met him?

With that thought, a hint of sweetness suddenly rose in Obito Uchiha's heart.

But harsh reality quickly woke him. There was no need for such a filthy world to exist.

Rin absolutely could not live in a world as hellish as this.

"You actually know Madara's plan? Do you know anything else?"

Hearing Obito Uchiha's question, Uchiha Ensei could not help thinking of Black Zetsu. But on second thought, Obito Uchiha should not know about Black Zetsu.

"You don't really think putting all humanity under a genjutsu is a good thing, do you?"

"If you truly want that kind of sweet dream, I can let you dream alone to your heart's content. There is no need to drag the entire world down with you."

"Living in the same world as someone like you is truly unlucky."

Uchiha Ensei shook his head, suppressing the urge to continue mocking him as he got down to business.

"Enough. You asked me to come, and I'm here. I don't want to keep talking about this useless nonsense. Where is Shisui? Is he still alive?"

"I assume you haven't already gouged out his eyes?"

Uchiha Ensei was eager to give it a try. He really wanted to see Obito Uchiha wear Shisui Uchiha's eyes and use Kotoamatsukami on him.

How could Uchiha Ensei have failed to prepare for a threat that might alter his personality?

Ever since he gained influence within the clan, he had planted a safeguard in Shisui Uchiha's eyes, waiting for someone to try and seize them.

"It seems you care a lot about Shisui."

"Is it because of those eyes that can change people's minds?"
