Uchiha Yuu could not be certain of the exact timing. He needed to wait for the night Kushina gave birth. By then, Obito Uchiha, hiding behind the scenes, would control the Tailed Beast to cause widespread destruction. Coupled with the Uchiha family's defection and his cooperation with Orochimaru, even if Konoha knew what was happening, it would have no ability to stop them. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If they missed this chance, escaping later would take much more effort.
What the two had plotted today was top secret. It concerned whether they could leave Konoha and carry out their subsequent plans. Orochimaru also understood that the Third Hokage would not choose him as the next Hokage, so during his limited time remaining in Konoha, he would devote himself wholly to research.
He would also continue developing the Impure World Reincarnation ninjutsu, making it even more perfect!
The end of the war had not brought their lives to a halt. Instead, they had become even busier.
Postwar reconstruction was underway. The Third Hokage had compiled the number of dead shinobi, and the massive amount of compensation required gave him a terrible headache. Beyond that, they needed a memorial service. Every body that could be recovered from the battlefield had been brought back and laid to rest together in the cemetery.
Uchiha Yuu was in a poor mood today because he had received a top-secret piece of intelligence that morning. The Third Hokage had given it to him, and it contained only one thing.
"I have to play the villain to the end."
After reading the information, Uchiha Yuu tossed it directly into the fire. The gloom in his heart showed on his face, making his expression flicker darkly beneath the swaying firelight.
"Mr. Yuu, did something happen?"
