"Are you really going to choose this path?" Obito asked with a gloomy face.
Aoba nodded numbly.
Obito was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Why?"
Unable to tell the real reason, Aoba could only make up a sad reason, "Didn't we agree that you would come to pick me up after the war ended? Moreover, a war orphan like me definitely can't live outside."
Obito's body shook violently as if recalling the days before. The two of them bickered every day and the childish words that said they would protect him.
All of a sudden, Obito's tense expression relaxed, and his gaze towards Aoba softened a little.
'It was precisely because of this that I was unable to make you stay.'
'This is hell, and the only thing left in hell is... evil spirits!'
"Since you have chosen this path, then don't regret it."
After saying this, Obito returned to his indifferent appearance and turned to leave.
As for Aoba, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, the strange thing was that he had already made his choice. Why hadn't the mission been completed?
....
"You are soft-hearted, Obito."
White Zetsu came to Obito's side and said with a smile.
"No, I kept him because he still has the value to be used." Obito coldly argued.
"Oh? What is the value of this kind of useless brat? You should have already seen it. The reason why Madara-sama did not teach him anything is because he has already seen through his talent. In this life, he is just an ordinary ninja. There is no need to bother to cultivate him." Black Zetsu said.
Obito was silent. After a few seconds, he slowly said, "Since Madara has already seen through all of this, why should we keep him? That person must have his reasons for choosing to do this. As for me, I just did what 'Uchiha Madara' should do."
Hearing him say this, White Zetsu and Black Zetsu both shut up.
"Then are you going to keep him here?"
"No, send him away and send him to Konoha!"
"Send him to Konoha?" White Zetsu was stunned.
"He has the value to be used as a war orphan, as an ordinary war orphan, or as a resource of the major ninja villages. If his talent is special, they will investigate him again and again. He can perfectly hide inside Konohagakure. When the time comes, he will definitely be able to help me.
Obito's reason seemed to be good, but….
"If it is just gathering information, it is enough with me and my avatars. It seems that there is no need."
"I believe in my own judgment, and you only need to obey my orders, understand?"
Then Obito closed his eyes. Although Aoba's choice surprised him, he immediately thought of using this method to temporarily keep him away from hell. Because he believed that this war would end sooner or later, and the victorious side would inevitably be Konohagakure.
In this way, the world would welcome a short period of peace, and Konoha was one of the safest places.
In there, Aoba could grow up safely. When his plan came true, his promise would be fulfilled.
Unconsciously, after witnessing the scene of Kakashi killing Rin with his own hands, the last trace of softness in Obito's heart was actually a little brat who had not grown up. This was probably something that Madara had never thought of before he died.
...
With Konohagakure obtaining victory in the Battle of Kikyou and the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, the western front of the third battle of Ninja World ended.
Unable to reverse the situation, Iwagakure had no choice but to retreat with their tails between their legs, leaving behind a pile of chicken feathers.
A large number of the villages were destroyed in the flames of war, and corpses were everywhere.
As for Konoha, the Ninja in charge of cleaning up the battlefield gathered the war orphans around them and sent them back to Konoha in batches.
Some people said that war was about money, but in fact, what was more important than money was population!
After a few consecutive wars, the Genin who graduated from the Ninja School was almost sent to the front line as fast as possible.
If you see a group of children around ten years old fighting with Kunai on the battlefield, please do not make a fuss because most of the adult ninjas have already been sacrificed.
The population of all the big Ninja Villages suddenly decreased, and if they continued to fight, it would be the turn of four or five-year-old children to go to the battlefield.
Because of this, taking the war orphans back to the village became a tacit understanding that the big Ninja Villages did not need to put on the table.
And these homeless children would make a great contribution to the future of the village. Just the newborn children who grew up would replenish the hard-won fresh blood for the big Ninja Villages.
Not to mention that among these children who had experienced the grief of war, there would be a large number of them who would become new ninjas.
So at the end of the war, what really suffered was not the five great villages in the center of the war, but those small villages that were destroyed in the flames of war, those ordinary people who could not resist.
As for hatred?
What kind of storm can a group of helpless children stir?
It was under such circumstances that after starving for several days, the dizzy Shinomiya Aoba and the few little brats who were traveling together were finally discovered by Konoha's follow-up troops.
The moment he saw the familiar forehead guard, he was really about to shed tears.
God knows how he struggled to survive these days after he was thrown into a remote forest by White Zetsu.
If not for the three abilities he got from the novice package, he would have become the feces in the belly of a beast.
And he was worried that White Zetsu was secretly observing him along the way, and he did not dare to take the initiative to expose his ability. It was as miserable as possible.
There were more than a dozen war orphans that Aoba met in succession. In the end, when they left the forest, only four or five of them were left. The rest were either taken away by wild beasts or starved to death. As for those who did not have the strength to keep up and were left behind, there was no need to say what happened.
And when he left, the dog-like quest finally showed signs of activity.
Once the stage was completed, the reward was the worn-out wooden treasure chest x1
The second stage was opened….
[Quest name: Who is an undercover?]
[Description: Undercover Konohagakure, from time to time causing some trouble. ]
[Quest reward: Determined according to the completion rate. ]
[Quest failure: Don't ask, asking is equivalent to self-destructing! ]
[Stage Three:???]
This mission was similar to what Obito had instructed him to do. However, neither Obito nor this dog system had clearly stated what they wanted him to do. It seemed that they would have to rely on him to act on his own.
However, this mission was truly a suicide mission!
Aaah!
