I Give Up! Let Shisui Die, Bye-Bye~

Hearing Obito Uchiha's words, Uchiha Ensei could not help but sigh.

As expected, Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyo ability had still been leaked, and something like that was probably only ever told by Shisui Uchiha himself.

As fellow Mangekyō Sharingan users, it was impossible for Obito Uchiha to use any genjutsu on Shisui.

Black Zetsu... the possibility was also not high.

Judging by Shisui Uchiha's strength, if he had not encountered an ambush or betrayal, he should not have been captured.

In the original work, he had only lost a Mangekyo under the sneak attack of Izanagi, and even then he had activated Susanoo and charged out; it was impossible for him to be captured without a sound.

As for who he had told that led to this current result, that was very hard to predict.

One could only say, if you do not court death, you will not die.

"Fine, I give up! Let Shisui die, bye-bye~"

Uchiha Ensei spoke casually, and the very next second his body turned into a puff of white smoke and vanished, leaving only a stunned Obito Uchiha in place.

"He... just left like that?"

Obito Uchiha spoke with some helplessness.

At this moment, Black Zetsu suddenly popped out from the ground beside him and slowly spoke, "He never intended to come personally, it was just a shadow clone."

"Obito, you seem to have been played."

Along with Black Zetsu's words, the surrounding ground suddenly split open, and a large volume of exploding flies rushed out, initiating a scaled suicide bombing.

When creating the exploding flies, Uchiha Ensei had deliberately enhanced their flight speed.

Only by doing so could he have wiped out five Pains in one fell swoop a short while ago.

And even more so now, leaving Obito Uchiha no time to enter the Kamui Dimension, forcing him to rely solely on phasing himself to dodge the attack.

Explosions rang out one after another.

Obito Uchiha maintained his phased state like that, lasting for about five minutes straight.

As for the 'white-plus-black' Zetsu that had just popped out, it had already been blown into a puddle of black sludge everywhere.

And the White Zetsu within the 'white-plus-black' Zetsu had already died in the explosions.

Unfortunately, although Black Zetsu's body had been blown to smithereens with puddles of sludge-like black dots scattered everywhere, it was still struggling to twitch, seeming as though it could still gather back together.

The time had already exceeded five minutes, and Obito Uchiha could no longer sustain it, having to use that Three-Tomoe Sharingan left behind by Madara Uchiha to trigger Izanagi.

Six minutes later, the explosions stopped, the timing calculated just right.

Yet under the effect of Izanagi, Obito Uchiha's figure appeared once again unscathed, and that Black Zetsu which had been blown into scattered puddles of sludge also began to gradually gather together at this moment.

Right at this moment, Uchiha Ensei's figure rushed toward here from Konoha once again, and seeing this scene, he pulled out an exquisite sealing scroll without hesitation and pressed it toward the ground.

Yet unfortunately, at the critical moment, those puddles of sludge suddenly seemed to have learned the Nara Clan's Kekkei Genkai, melting into shadows and sinking into the ground...

No, perhaps the Nara Clan's secret techniques also came from the former Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"What a pity. This thing is really Madara Uchiha's will? So hard to catch, I really wanted to study it properly."

Uchiha Ensei spoke with a trace of regret.

The next moment, a pitch-black palm pierced straight through Uchiha Ensei's chest, and Black Zetsu's figure emerged behind Uchiha Ensei.

Poof!

Accompanied by a burst of smoke, Uchiha Ensei's figure vanished without a trace, leaving only Black Zetsu behind at the scene after a failed sneak attack.

Clearly, this Uchiha Ensei this time was also obviously a shadow clone.

Obito Uchiha did not care about the disappearance of Uchiha Ensei's shadow clone at the moment, instead staring at Black Zetsu with a strange look before using Kamui to return to the Kamui Dimension.

Just when Obito Uchiha had used Izanagi a moment ago, his original intention was to pull Black Zetsu into Izanagi's reality-altering genjutsu as well.

However, obviously, Izanagi had failed.

Izanagi was a forbidden technique that could only be used by consuming a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and its principle was to cast a genjutsu on the entire world itself, thereby dodging predetermined crises, even including death.

Yet a ninjutsu of this caliber had actually failed to work on Black Zetsu. Was it because Madara Uchiha had awakened the Rinnegan, causing the Black Zetsu he created to ignore Izanagi's reality-altering genjutsu?

Although he had found a perfect excuse for himself, Obito Uchiha still could not help but start paying attention to this Black Zetsu that he had always ignored.

In Konoha, Uchiha Ensei, who was checking information in the Konoha Library, suddenly paused, then nodded with a hint of understanding.

Shaking his head to clear away a brief moment of dizziness, Uchiha Ensei put down the books in his hand and began walking toward a very ordinary house within Konoha.

According to what Hiruzen Sarutobi had told him, this house was Kushina Uzumaki's current residence.

Standing at the doorway, before he even knocked, the door was pulled open.

"A few years ago, I saw you. Minato also mentioned things about you to me..."

Upon seeing Uchiha Ensei, Kushina Uzumaki could not wait to speak, her speaking speed extremely fast.

"Uh, aren't you going to invite me in to sit down?"

Uchiha Ensei looked at the diamond-shaped marking on Kushina Uzumaki's forehead, unable to help drifting off in thought for a moment.

It seemed he had changed quite a few things after all.

Kushina Uzumaki had actually learned the Yin Seal, and coupled with the Yin Nine-Tails...

Good grief, Kushina Uzumaki was probably the strongest person in Konoha right now!

"Oh, oh. Sorry, sorry! Please come in..."

"Ever since Minato fell unconscious, I haven't been out for a long time, so I've truly neglected my hospitality."

Kushina Uzumaki's attitude was shockingly friendly; it seemed she was not standing on Hiruzen Sarutobi's side. If so, that could still be considered pretty good news.

It looked like Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't as foolish as Shimura Danzō.

He could barely still be considered a competent politician, knowing his own attitude toward him and thus arranging for someone else to carry out a pacifying policy—a clever decision.

"Wait, Minato is unconscious? He didn't die? I thought it was the Reaper Death Seal he cast."

Pondering, Uchiha Ensei suddenly noticed Kushina Uzumaki's words and could not help asking aloud.

Hearing this, Kushina Uzumaki was stunned at first, then spoke, "It seems you didn't know about this news yet."

"Also, Minato was once the Fourth Hokage. If news of his coma were leaked, it would become very troublesome."

As she spoke, Kushina Uzumaki led Uchiha Ensei to a place that looked just like a utility room.

Yet pushing the door open, she found a completely different world inside: all kinds of advanced medical equipment monitoring the vital signs of the person lying on the hospital bed, giving Uchiha Ensei the fleeting sensation of time-traveling all over again.

This made one have to mention the unique worldview of the ninja world: various kinds of technology actually already existed across the ninja world, and in certain aspects they were already no worse than Uchiha Ensei's previous life.

Yet because of ninjas, these so-called technological devices had never been able to develop, entirely lacking any presence.

"Kushina, would you let me take a look at the Fourth's current condition?"
