Chapter 55: After so Many Battles, Let’s Enjoy Ourselves!

“Wait, is Naraku still alive?”

Black Zetsu looked at Obito with incomprehension on his face. What the hell was going on? He couldn’t even deal with a twelve-year-old kid?

Obito shook his head and said, “The little demon Uehara can summon the Deva Path of Pain. I can’t face Pain directly… The next topic I want to talk about is the most troublesome part!”

Obito’s face became solemn, and he looked at the White Zetsu clones coldly, looking at them with suspicion and a little confusion.

“Someone leaked my information to Kakashi.”

A flash of lightning struck, and thunder boomed as soon as Obito spoke. He expressed his suspicion, “I’m guessing that it was Orochimaru who leaked that information since he happened to appear in the Land of Water with Kakashi.”

White Zetsu immediately caught on, “Hatake Kakashi?”

Black Zetsu grasped the other critical point, “Orochimaru?”

“Yes.”

Obito thoughtfully nodded, “Kakashi has never shown any unusual movements. It’s far more likely that Orochimaru found traces from other sources and informed Kakashi of my whereabouts.

If it weren’t for Kakashi suddenly exposing my identity, I wouldn’t have had to attack Uehara in such a hurry. As a result, I was entrapped by that little demon.

The little demon summoned Pain and told him about it!

It’s a pity that I didn’t have time to speak with Nagato before he identified me as Danzo’s spy!”

At this point, Obito hit the wall bitterly with a fist. He still didn’t understand how things could degenerate so quickly!

Obviously, everything was moving in a good direction, and he was conscientiously trying to introduce a helping hand into the Akatsuki. But he was expelled from the Akatsuki instead.

It was… abrupt.

From a different perspective, it might not be a bad thing this time. At least he knew that someone was monitoring him in secret. That was important for his future collection of the Tailed Beasts, and it was much better to notice it now.

Orochimaru didn’t know that he had become a scapegoat.

In truth, Orochimaru had only just learned the true identity of the mysterious masked man, and he already had a plan in mind to trade away this information.

As for who to trade with, it was naturally his close partner.

In Konoha, in the Root’s base.

Since Shimura Danzo’s handling of the Uchiha clan was too crude and cruel, Root was shut down by Sarutobi while Danzo was imprisoned.

Even if Danzo was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to deal with Hiruzen’s resolute treatment. Therefore, the old man could only hide there quietly and secretly collect information through his former subordinates and train the young ninjas he had hidden in his possession.

“Believe, be serious!”

“Restore Root, good job.”

“Sai, you have graduated this year. Next year, I will find a way to arrange for you to take the Chunin Exams. You have to work harder.”

Danzo looked at the group of young ninjas underneath and judged their training one by one as if he really was a teacher who was serious about training his juniors.

But these young ninjas didn’t dare to look at him. When Danzo’s eyes fell on them, they would shrink unconsciously.

These youths were deeply afraid of the old man in front of them.

A small white snake suddenly popped out of a pipe, crawled to Danzo’s side, and opened its mouth.

“En? You guys will leave first!”

When Danzo saw the little snake, his face twisted, and he waved away the group of youngsters. Only then did Shimura remove the scroll from the little white snake’s mouth.

This little white snake was Orochimaru’s communication tool.

Danzo had been in contact with Orochimaru ever since Orochimaru defected. He originally expected Orochimaru to ask for some help again. He hadn’t expected Orochimaru to send him a piece of information this time.

“Obito is still alive…”

Danzo’s eyes tightened sharply, staring at the information scroll given to him by Orochimaru, which detailed information on the mysterious masked man.

Danzo did not know that he attracted even more aggro from Pain and Itachi due to the mysterious masked man.

For now, Danzo just wanted to use this information to do a good job and regain the power he lost to Hiruzen!

“Hiruzen, the teacher was right…”

Danzo slowly closed the scroll in his hand, threw it into the brazier next to him. He whispered and continued, “Those of the Uchiha Clan are born evil… Even the dísciple of the Fourth Hokage has fallen!”

Although he got the information on Obito, Danzo still needed to wait for an opportunity for Kakashi to return to the village before he confronted Hiruzen.

This opportunity was not hard to grasp.

On the other side.

Uehara was lost in thought as he observed his attribute panel.

[Main Mission: Realize the bookstand boss’s wish and become the biggest boss in Ninja World. Mission progress: 3%]

Uehara left the Land of Water with his team. On the way back from Land of Rain, the Main Mission’s progress inexplicably jumped to 3%.

According to Uehara’s understanding, this progress should be related to his exposing of the mysterious masked man’s identity. More and more people learned of the mysterious masked man’s true identity, but they didn’t believe him to be the secret mastermind.

He also completed a peculiar Side Mission.

[Side Mission: Expose the mysterious masked man’s true identity in a public space with numerous people.]

[Reward: skill, Distorted Space]

Although Uehara had revealed Obito’s identity earlier, he was using Charm Transformation. That meant that it was not actually Obito who had his identity exposed. It may also have been because Kakashi still didn’t believe it.

Well, some people believe it now.

As for the reward, Uehara felt a little frustrated.

[Distorted Space: After a delay of 0.5 seconds, a spatial distortion that lasts 3 seconds will appear in the target area. The area within it is isolated from the outside world. Those who try to cross the spatial barrier will be stunned by Space-Time Ninjutsu. The duration and area of effect are equivalent to the amount of Chakra used, with a minimum of 100 Chakra. Cooldown, 15 seconds.]

This skill was horrible!

It wasn’t even as powerful as the magic puppet skill Command Shockwave!

Unless the space barrier managed to capture Obito, his Kamui Dojutsu couldn’t be stopped, even Flying Thunder God Jutsu users could easily escape.

What was this skill for?

Was it used as a spatial cage?

Well, it was pretty good at that.

Although Distorted Space was considered a spatial technique, it was not actually aimed at the space-time ninjas, and it was much more useful against regular ninjas.

In the Ninja World, aside from a handful of ninjas who were good at time and space techniques such as Obito, Fourth Hokage, and Otsutsuki Kaguya, any other ninja would definitely be imprisoned in Distorted Space.

It was a bit like the Four Violet Flames Formation, but the strength of a space barrier far exceeded that of a barrier.

Kisame’s voice interrupted Uehara’s thoughts, “Uehara-sama, we are already near the shore of the Land of Hot Water.”

“Oh?”

Uehara raised his head and watched their ship enter the harbor of the most peaceful country in the Ninja world and whispered, “After fighting so many battles, let’s enjoy ourselves!”
