Obito Uchiha?!
This actually involved the mastermind behind the Fourth Shinobi World War?
And he had actually established a hidden base in the Land of Waterfalls?
Suddenly hearing such an outrageous piece of news left Shibuki dumbfounded.

Shibuki nodded, then asked quietly, "Has this information been confirmed?"
Of course, he knew that Naruto's presence in the Land of Waterfalls meant the information must be reliable, but he still
