Obito Attacks

"Lord Jiraiya, are you really planning to take Shisui as your disciple?"

Fugaku Uchiha asked solemnly. Before most of Konoha's ninja and its higher-ups, Jiraiya's answer was equivalent to Konoha's stance toward the Uchiha Clan.

Whether he had been right to expose his Mangekyo Sharingan and capture the Eight-Tails for Konoha would depend on tonight.

"Of course. Shisui reminds me of Minato. I'll do my best to train him into the next Minato."

Jiraiya's words stirred the Uchiha Clan. Minato had been the Fourth Hokage! Moreover, he had treated the Uchiha Clan well during his time in office. Could Shisui also have a chance of becoming the next Hokage?

Naturally, Orochimaru had told Jiraiya to say that.

"Good!"

Fugaku Uchiha looked at Shisui. Shisui was a little flustered; there were simply too many people here today.

The village's ninja were all watching him. Jiraiya's claim that he would train him into the next Minato Namikaze made his face flush slightly.

"Master!"

Ninja did not have so many elaborate formalities, and the apprenticeship ceremony ended quickly.

"Everyone, today is both to celebrate Shisui becoming a disciple and to celebrate the capture of the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki alive. Don't hold back. Eat as much as you like!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had nothing much to say, so Fugaku Uchiha directly announced the start of the banquet.

At first, everyone was indeed somewhat restrained, but the atmosphere soon became lively.

This hard-won victory had everyone energized. Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi now seemed quite open-minded, and everyone began to feel hopeful about the future.

"Master, have a drink!"

Tsunade had drunk a little too much. When she saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, she felt somewhat displeased. How had this old man become so young?

No matter what, she insisted on making Hiruzen Sarutobi drink a couple of cups.

"Master?"

Tsunade's words drew quite a bit of attention.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had been eating nonstop over here, attracting plenty of attention long ago.

That was also because his aura was exceptionally outstanding, completely out of place among the ninja around him.

His muscular body was like a sculpture, brimming with strength. At the same time, his resolute and upright bearing naturally inspired goodwill at first sight.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not afraid at all. The ninja were drinking sake, which posed no pressure whatsoever for him.

After several cups in a row, Tsunade was the one who got drunk and collapsed first.

After learning Hiruzen Sarutobi's identity from Jiraiya, every ninja present gaped.

They truly could not connect the person before them with the former Third Hokage.

Could Hiruzen Sarutobi have undergone human experimentation? Had Orochimaru developed some secret technique?

Hiruzen Sarutobi paid no attention to the gazes of the ninja present. He had been eating barbecue every day lately and was honestly getting sick of it.

The food prepared by the filthy rich Uchiha Clan tasted quite good, but the portions were a little small. He was currently busy stuffing his face with food, making the several Uchiha clansmen serving him break out in sweat.

Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.

An unwelcome guest had arrived.

After receiving news from Black Zetsu, Obito Uchiha headed for Konoha.

Obito's feelings toward Konoha now were nothing but boundless hatred.

He hated the Third Hokage so much his teeth itched! Rin's death had been connected to both the village and the Shinobi World.

If the village had not been so corrupt, if there had been no war, Rin would not have died!

Therefore, Obito wanted to overturn this Shinobi World. As long as Rin could be revived, he was willing to pay any price!

Even though he had personally caused the deaths of his master and mistress, he felt no regret whatsoever.

He was even planning to destroy the Uchiha Clan and obtain more Blood Wheel Eyes to activate Izanagi.

Obito himself feared the power of the Uchiha Clan. What if some heaven-defying Mangekyo Sharingan appeared that could restrain his Kamui?

When he arrived at Konoha, he also received news from Zetsu.

Konoha had captured the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki alive! Fugaku Uchiha was suspected of possessing a Mangekyo Sharingan!

This made Obito grit his teeth. Why had they hidden it? If they had used the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan sooner, Konoha would have won long ago, wouldn't it? Then Rin would not have died!

Konoha's barrier was practically nonexistent to Obito.

After arriving at the Uchiha Clan's grounds, the lively scene there made the hatred in Obito's heart grow even stronger.

Why? Why could these people be so happy?

Why could the Uchiha Clan now get along so harmoniously with the people of the village?

Obito Uchiha's hatred reached its peak. His surging killing intent, extreme malice, and sinister chakra were instantly detected by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The reason he had returned to attend this banquet today was precisely to prevent any accidents.

Too many enemies were hidden in the shadows. Besides Obito, there was also Isshiki Otsutsuki lurking behind the scenes.

His arrival had already changed the future of the Shinobi World. No one knew what kind of enemies they might encounter.

Obito could not hide the hatred in his heart. Why could the Uchiha Clan live so well?

However, Obito immediately restrained himself. Before confirming Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan ability, he did not dare act rashly.

He directly phased away from the Uchiha Clan's grounds.

At the moment Obito phased away, both Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui sensed the fluctuations of a Mangekyo Sharingan.

Both were somewhat puzzled. There was another pair of Mangekyo Sharingan? Was it someone from the clan, or an Uchiha wandering outside?

"I'll be heading back first."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rose to take his leave. He sensed that Obito had actually gone to his small cabin and was rummaging through his belongings.

"Old man, heading back so early? Are you really going to become an ascetic?"

Jiraiya had also drunk quite a lot, and his speech was slurred.

In private, Jiraiya and Tsunade both believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was most likely going to become an ascetic, atoning for his previous mistakes.

Perhaps before long, he would run off to become a monk!

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored Jiraiya and left the banquet directly.

Orochimaru did not care about Hiruzen Sarutobi's departure. Looking at the harmonious banquet, he even felt an impulse.

Should he use Impure World Reincarnation to summon the Second Hokage? Let him see that the Uchiha Clan was not so terrifying at all!

Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to his small cabin.

Everything inside was exactly as it had been when he left, without the slightest change.

"You skulking rat! Why are you so cowardly?"

Space outside the cabin rippled, and Obito emerged from the void. The Blood Wheel Eye beneath his mask stared fixedly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"How did you discover me?"

Only Foundation Establishment cultivators possessed Divine Sense, but a Sixth-Level Qi Refining ninja's sensory abilities still far surpassed those of ordinary ninja.

Furthermore, Obito's Kamui might be difficult for ninja to deal with, but to cultivators, Kamui's use of space was far too crude.

"Should I call you Madara Uchiha, or Obito Uchiha?"

"You are definitely not the Third Hokage. Who exactly are you?"

Obito's pupils contracted instantly as he demanded.
