"Ck ck ck, that stupid Obito has failed completely again! Why did Madara-sama choose you?"
The original body of Black Zetsu emerged from the ground, mocking cruelly.
Black Zetsu also possessed White Zetsu's body, staring at Obito without saying a word, deep in thought.
"Don't be like this; be careful not to let someone give up on themselves!"
Tobi tried to comfort him, but his tone also sounded quite insincere.
"Shut up!"
Obito was a bit annoyed.
The failure of the plan and the taunts from White Zetsu made his blood pressure spike.
At such a young age, his veins were often on the verge of bursting.
"Hehehe… He's anxious, he's anxious!"
"Say a few words and get out of here quickly. Obito is right; there will always be opportunities in the future."
Black Zetsu warned in a deep voice. Although he was the one who most wanted to strangle Obito, he had to hold back now!
After all, Madara was dead, and so was Nagato.
He only had the useful chess piece of Obito in his hands now. If Obito were to disappear, then Black Zetsu's decades of planning would be in vain.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, it had to be grasped!
If not, he would have to start all over again.
"Where to go back to? Amegakure? That place might not be safe now."
"No!"
Obito suddenly interrupted.
"There's no need to rush back; I want to go to Konoha first!"
"Are you crazy?"
The three were shocked, mistakenly thinking that Obito had gone insane due to excessive stimulation.
At this point, did he still think about going to Konoha to seek death?
If he encountered Minato again, there would be no one to save him!
"I know, but this is the only chance. I need to get my other Mangekyo Sharingan back!"
Obito explained with a gloomy expression.
Of course, he knew that if he could gather both of his eyes, his power would increase dramatically!
But before today, he had never thought of asking Kakashi to take back the Sharingan.
The reasons were simple.
First: It was a gift he personally gave to Kakashi, so of course, he wouldn't ask for it back.
Second: He was also very confident in his own power, the power of a single eye + Hashirama's cells + Yin-Yang release. Setting aside Minato and Nagato, Obito was confident he could defeat anyone in a one-on-one fight.
Lastly: This was also to reduce the risk of exposure. If so many Uchiha were not drawing attention, taking Kakashi's Sharingan alone would easily raise suspicion and make Konoha doubt the relationship between him and Kakashi.
All of the above reasons did not apply.
The death of Nagato and the epic strengthening of Minato made Obito feel unprecedented pressure, and he was almost out of breath.
He wanted to fight against Minato and Konoha.
He had to significantly increase his strength.
The best way was to retrieve his left Sharingan!
At the same time, even though he didn't know how Minato recognized him, or who was secretly leaking his secrets, it didn't matter anymore, as his identity had been exposed.
Konoha already knew that he was Uchiha Obito, and it was expected that Kakashi would soon find out as well.
That was the problem.
"Forgive me, Kakashi! For Rin, I can only cancel the date once. I have to get back the Sharingan I gave you!"
The finally desperate Obito clenched his fists and lamented in his heart.
After Rin's death, Kakashi was the last sacred ground in his heart.
He truly did not want to take action against Kakashi unless he had to!
"Getting back your Mangekyo is indeed a way. But aren't you afraid of the Yondaime?" Black Zetsu asked quietly.
Like Obito, he now regarded Minato as the greatest threat!
Minato truly dared to turn himself into the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi and even mastered the power of the Kyuubi! That person's talent and unpredictability far exceeded Black Zetsu's initial expectations.
He even vaguely saw the shadows of Hashirama and Madara. If it weren't for the lack of bloodline, he would even suspect that Minato was the reincarnation of Asura!
"I need to take the risk. The war is not completely over. That person may not return to Konoha immediately."
"As long as I am careful, I might have a chance!"
Obito gritted his teeth and answered.
Of course, he knew the risks involved, but for his main goal, he had to take another risk!
Hearing this, Black Zetsu would not object any longer.
What he needed was a useful chess piece that could realize the Infinite Tsukuyomi, not an Obito who would flee at the sight of Minato.
Retrieving another Sharingan seemed to be a risk worth taking.
"Okay, go ahead! But we will not go with you."
Black Zetsu was still very cautious and would never take risks.
"No problem. Just Kakashi; I'm fine on my own."
"Ah? Are you going to see 'Kakashi the Idiot'? Is it that 'Kakashi the Idiot' you keep shouting about when you're unconscious?" Tobi asked curiously.
"Exactly!"
Obito had veins bulging on his forehead, and he suppressed the urge to kill Tobi.
"Then I'll go too!"
"I also want to meet 'Kakashi the Idiot'!"
"NO!"
"Absolutely not! I can go meet him alone."
"What's the difference? With me here, you'll be safer."
In the end, Obito did not refuse Tobi and brought him along.
Tobi opened his body and wrapped around Obito.
This greatly enhanced Obito's mobility and restored a lot of chakra. Then he immediately set off and rushed toward Konoha.
He had to find Kakashi and retrieve his other Sharingan before Minato returned!
❀❀❀
Just as Obito suspected.
Minato did not return to the village immediately.
On one hand, he did not expect Obito to be so bold; on the other hand, he really had to appear and deal with issues on the battlefield.
The death of the Third Hokage had a significant impact on the entire Konoha forces. After all, he was the longest-serving Hokage, and his influence could not be ignored.
Even though the frontal battlefield was a complete victory, it would be difficult to cover up the extremely negative morale decline caused by the death of the Third Hokage.
Moreover, the Fourth Hokage was rumored to be severely injured and in recovery during this period and had not been seen.
The remaining Konoha ninjas must be worried and extremely concerned about the future of the entire village.
Of course, with Minato's emergence, all rumors, doubts, and astonishment were dispelled!
Konoha seemed to have found its backbone again and immediately became enthusiastic.
One by one, the ninjas shouted to go to war. Even if Minato led them to attack the other four countries, no one would question it at all.
Relying on the great reputation accumulated during the Third Ninja World War, Minato's popularity was higher than Hiruzen's.
Moreover, among the younger generation of ninjas, who didn't admire and yearn for a hard-working and prestigious idol?
The Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato.
At this moment, there was an unmatched charm in Konoha.
In this way, after calming the large forces consisting of three thousand ninjas, Minato then handed everything over to Fugaku.
Let him lead this army and attack the Land of Rain with his sword aimed at Amegakure.
Cruel?
It was definitely cruel!
There is no war without casualties; this attack would surely result in many casualties.
Many ninjas would die on Konoha's side, and even more would surely die on Amegakure's side.
However, from Konoha's perspective, this was already the best option.
The only way was to destroy Amegakure and let all the countries and small villages know how high the price they would have to pay for disturbing Konoha!
Only by stopping the actions of other small countries could this war be completely ended.
Minimizing casualties and making Konoha safer in the future.
This is the principle of "long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."
At the same time, this was also the first reward that Minato gave to Fugaku, and it was also an opportunity for all members of the Uchiha Clan.
As long as Amegakure could be destroyed, a great victory would be achieved!
Previously, during the Kyuubi Rebellion, the Uchiha clan was ordered not to take action, which caused the entire village to hate them.
Not to mention completely eliminating it, at least it could be greatly reduced.
Let the Uchiha Clan regain the opportunity to breathe in Konoha and obtain more land for a fair life.
Of course, Fugaku was not foolish, and he saw this.
That's why he accepted this task without hesitation and seized this opportunity!
As expected, he was right about Minato.
This extraordinary wealth finally fell into the hands of the Uchiha Clan.
'Minato is better! No, after I return, I must discuss with Mikoto whether to have another daughter!'
Fugaku thought to himself while organizing his troops to attack.
He quietly sent orders: Let all Uchiha ninjas in the village who could wield a sword be dispatched!
Almost covering the wealth of the entire clan family.
In this battle, they could only succeed and not fail!
❀❀❀
After seeing Fugaku and the others depart, Minato flew back to Konoha with Jiraiya and the others.
To place Hiruzen's remains, treat the wounded, redeploy the village's defenses, etc.
Minato did not say that he did everything personally, but he still needed to coordinate and direct.
He also made an official appearance to reassure everyone in the village.
In such a critical moment, no one dared to speak up.
Danzo had been stripped of all his positions by Hiruzen and was currently detained by ANBU ninjas. How could he find trouble with Minato?
The two advisors, Koharu and Homura, were still mourning around Hiruzen's body and had no intention of obstructing Minato.
Moreover, they did not have many opinions; they were only responsible for the administration and diplomatic and economic affairs.
Let's not forget, Minato was the legitimate Hokage, so who could dictate to him?
Finally, the remaining ninja clans in the village were all good at adapting to the situation.
After learning that Hiruzen had been killed and Danzo had lost power, they all chose to support Minato without hesitation.
What a joke.
The Sannin of Konoha had already taken sides; how dare they say otherwise?
Wasn't that just asking for death?
Moreover, even without the Sannin of Konoha, wasn't Minato's prestige enough?
Who would dare to mess with the Yellow Flash who had just returned from the battlefield?
Initially, Minato was still a little worried; would anyone obstruct him? Should he be ruthless?
As a result, after waiting a long time, no one created an opportunity for him.
The entire process went very smoothly.
Minato took over the supreme leadership of Konoha without any obstacles.
He silently wondered if he had been too cautious before.
Could it be that Konoha had long suffered from harsh governance?
Should he have staged a coup long ago?
