82: Damn Kakashi!

He left home with his teacher.

The two walked unhurriedly towards the Root's direction.

Meanwhile, Konoha Village at this time...

was already in utter chaos.

At Hyuga Hiashi's home.

“Hiashi… how could You…?”

“Brother, only by submitting to Your Highness is the way out for this Ninja World.”

As the two brothers were confronting each other.

Hyuga Neji, who had just given the young lady Hyuga Hinata a beating, came into the yard.

Seeing the deceased Hyuga Hiashi, Neji immediately couldn't hold back, and with tears streaming down his face, he threw himself into his father's arms.

“Father My Lord?!”

Father and son reunited.

Similar scenes also occurred with Might Guy, Kakashi Hatake, and many other famous Konoha Ninja.

Chaos, indeed it was chaos.

But it wasn't the bloody chaos one might imagine.

Instead, it was a commotion caused by deceased individuals suddenly appearing before the living and bringing people to rule them.

Resist?

But the opponents were the fathers, wives, husbands, brothers, and sisters of Konoha Ninja.

Not resist?

Then what was the point of risking their lives to protect Konoha before?

The deceased brought an all-encompassing, unprecedented impact to Konoha.

A few days later.

With the First Hokage, Second Hokage, Third Hokage, and Fourth Hokage jointly stabilizing the situation.

The Blacklight Warrior ultimately completed the integration of Konoha without shedding a drop of blood.

Hokage Tower rooftop.

Joa looked down at the ninjas filling the entire street below.

Beside him stood Tsunade, Kushina, Mikoto, Konan, Rin Nohara, 20-year-old Kurenai Yuhi, and 14-year-old Yugao Uzuki.

Age, for Joa, was not important; as long as they were adults, he could proceed.

Behind Joa stood the four Hokage and Danzo, whom he had kept to be dispatched to other Worlds as undercover agents later.

The Blacklight Warrior, along with other famous Konoha Ninja, stood on the street below the Hokage Tower, awaiting orders.

In some respects.

Danzo Shimura was also a talent.

It just depended on how he was used.

When invading other Worlds, have Danzo go undercover.

He wouldn't even need to transmit intelligence; he would only need to wholeheartedly consider the enemy's interests, and that would be enough to cause trouble for the enemy.

If he tried hard enough, Danzo could even directly collapse the opposing force from within.

Being able to think of such a way to use Danzo, Joa felt like he was a genius!

“Where is Madara Uchiha?”

Hearing Joa’s question, Hashirama Senju behind him quickly replied.

“After incorporating the Uchiha, he went to Rain Country to find Obito and retrieve the Outer Path Demonic Statue.”

Upon hearing this, Joa rubbed his chin.

“Then You go too. After getting the Outer Path Demonic Statue, You two should quickly gather all the Tailed Beasts and bring them to Blacklight Star.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The God Tree fruit needs to absorb life energy to mature.

It would be a waste for the God Tree fruit to drain the perfectly good Ninja World dry.

It would be better to plant the God Tree fruit on Blacklight Star.

Anyway, Blacklight Star has the spark with almost endless energy, so the God Tree fruit can absorb as much as it wants.

After Hashirama Senju left.

Joa looked down at the Blacklight Warrior and Konoha Ninja below.

“You may disperse. Continue with your lives as usual.”

“Yes! Your Highness!”

Although Hinata and Hanabi had already been born, Joa still did not plan to leave the Ninja World yet.

Hinata and Hanabi were too young; it wouldn't be too late to leave after they matured and could be used.

So many years had passed; a mere dozen more years wouldn't make a difference.

Moreover...

This World seemed to still have the Ōtsutsuki clan.

He had to at least taste what the Ōtsutsuki clan tasted like, whether it was delicious or not.

······

Rain Country.

Hashirama Senju had just flown here.

He saw Madara Uchiha below, with black-red tentacles formed from his arm, tethering the Outer Path Demonic Statue by its neck, speaking to Rin and Obito beside him.

“Hmm? Hashirama?”

“Madara.”

Landing in front of Madara, Hashirama spoke.

“Why are You so slow? Your Highness is waiting.”

“Quickly come with me to other villages to capture the Tailed Beasts.”

Hearing Hashirama's urging, Madara turned to look at Obito.

“The truth has been told to You. Next, You will take the Outer Path Demonic Statue to Konoha.”

With that, Madara looked at Hashirama and nodded.

Immediately, the two quickly ascended into the sky, flying towards Sunagakure.

Watching the two disappear into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Obito Uchiha let out a long sigh, a self-deprecating smile on his face.

“Heh, I really don't know what I was doing before.”

“What was the point of those things I did?”

“Your Highness…”

He raised his head, and raindrops fell on his face.

Having learned the truth, Obito didn't know whether he should feel fortunate or angry.

Angry that he was played?

It seemed unnecessary, because the entire Ninja World was played.

Your Highness could occupy the entire Ninja World on a whim.

However, for the sake of the Hyuga sisters being born smoothly, Your Highness allowed these weaklings to play their war games.

‘This entire Ninja World, to Your Highness, is probably just a giant playground.’

Hearing Obito's words, Rin Nohara looked at him with some concern.

“Obito, don't have any grievances against Your Highness, it's very dangerous…”

Snapping back to reality, he looked at Rin, whose face was filled with worry for him, and Obito's heart uncontrollably quickened, as he waved his hands repeatedly.

“I don't. I'm grateful to Your Highness; I don't have time for anything else.”

“If it weren't for Your Highness… You wouldn't… appear before me again…”

Upon hearing this, Rin Nohara smiled brightly, almost making Obito dumbfounded.

“That's good.”

“Remember to apologize to those You hurt when You go back.”

Staring intently at Rin, Obito repeatedly patted his chest.

“Don't worry, I've already forgiven my teacher and his wife.”

Hearing Obito's outrageous remark, Rin Nohara immediately grabbed Obito's ear.

“Idiot!”

“I told You to apologize to your teacher and his wife, who said they should apologize to You?!”

Obito, who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan and whose ocular jutsu was the divine skill of Kamui, didn't even dare to dodge when Rin grabbed his ear.

He just let Rin grab him, crying out in pain.

“But… but my teacher was just late, otherwise You wouldn't have…”

“Hmm?!”

Seeing Rin glare, Obito decisively caved in.

“Alright, alright, I'll apologize, isn't that enough?”

Seeing this, Rin nodded in satisfaction and released Obito.

The two looked at each other, smiles involuntarily appearing on their faces.

At this moment, they felt as if they had returned to the time when they had just graduated and were doing missions together.

Everything had changed, yet it also seemed unchanged.

“Speaking of which, where's Kakashi?”

“I need him to give me back my eye!”

“No! Obito!”

“You can't ask for a gift back once it's given! That's too rude!”

Upon hearing this, Obito was on the verge of tears.

At that time, he was about to die and thought it would be a waste to keep it, so he entrusted it to Kakashi.

Later, it was because he had to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan and had to act in secret, unable to expose himself.

Now that there was no need to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a World with Rin anymore.

Why couldn't he get his eye back?

Damn Kakashi!

Seeing Obito's resentful expression, Rin said helplessly.

“When You go back, after You fuse with the Blacklight Virus, your eye will grow back.”
