Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 31: Obito's Assistance

The time rewinds back two days.

Somewhere in the Death Forest.

"Uchiha Itachi, I want you dead!" Obito's expression was so fierce that he wanted to tear apart his fellow clan member.

Since obtaining the Mangekyō Sharingan and Hashirama's cells, he had only suffered one defeat.

That was during the Nine Tails' rampage and his battle with Namikaze Minato.

That was, after all, the famous golden flash, losing to him was not embarrassing.

But this time, it was a ten-year-old brat.

Not only couldn't he defeat him, but he also couldn't argue with him.

It was truly infuriating.

Obito's current mood was almost as furious as when he witnessed Kakashi killing Rin with his own hands.

But the previous time was a rage of incompetence, and this time was still the same.

He realized that even if he used his trump card, he might not be able to defeat Uchiha Itachi.

Unless it was the double Kamui.

Obito clenched his fist, his expression constantly changing.

The reason he didn't snatch back his eye was because of two reasons.

First, this eye was a gift he personally gave to Kakashi, taking it back might expose his identity.

Second, he didn't need it. With Kamui, he believed he could go anywhere, and the empty eye could be used to install the Sharingan for using Izanagi.

"Tsk, it's really miserable." The annoying voice of White Zetsu sounded.

"Do you want to die?" Obito asked coldly.

"Alright, let's change the topic. Don't you want revenge?" White Zetsu smirked and said, "We don't need to take action, we just need to release Sarutobi Hiruzen from control."

Obito subconsciously looked at him.

This was indeed a good method.

Simple and effective.

Easily instigating internal strife within Konoha.

And he could take advantage of the chaos to take Kakashi away.

With the Hokage and Uchiha at odds, it would be reasonable to have one less Kakashi.

For a while, no one would associate him with it.

Obito took a deep breath and said, "We can't release him directly. We need to deal with some of Sarutobi Hiruzen's subordinates. Otherwise, it won't be lively enough."

He decisively locked onto two Hokage advisors.

With Danzo dead, they were the most suitable.

And because Sarutobi Hiruzen was being controlled, their power had also been reduced.

As he expected, Obito smoothly established a connection with the two Hokage advisors.

In the eyes of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, Obito was indeed mysterious and dangerous, but if they could release Sarutobi Hiruzen from control and regain their power, it would be worth it.

There was no doubt that the two of them were deeply entangled in the vortex of power.

Obito really liked them.

Because this kind of Konoha was the least threatening.

Another meeting was held.

Nara Shikaku originally wanted to present the scroll, but the two Hokage advisors introduced Obito first.

They said he was a Root ninja who was extremely skilled in genjutsu and mental ninjutsu. He was certain that the Hokage was being controlled by the Sharingan and had a way to release it.

Nara Shikaku knew that something was off.

But he didn't ask anything and just informed them about Uchiha Itachi's plan to go out the day after tomorrow.

Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Obito all showed excited smiles upon hearing this.

The former two thought that they were being helped by fate, while the latter thought that he could seek revenge.

The most troublesome thing about Uchiha Itachi's dōjutsu was that it was effective against a large number of people.

But now, with so many Jōnin present, Obito felt that the weather had cleared up for him.

After the meeting, Li Xiang received the information.

"It's that masked man."

Uchiha Itachi could almost confirm the identity of this Root ninja without hesitation.

Distinguished Heavenly Gods was the dōjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

To unlock it, only the Mangekyō Sharingan had a chance.

But it was only a chance.

"The masked man definitely doesn't know that it's Distinguished Heavenly Gods, otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident."

Li Xiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Well, if it's a helping hand that comes to us, we can't refuse. We have another reason now. Hokage-sama, along with the manipulator of the Nine Tails, is attempting to eliminate the Uchiha."

Shisui and Uchiha Itachi also laughed.

They found that this mysterious masked man didn't seem very clever.

"I will help him," Shisui readily agreed.

He got up and left.

After squatting in the Hokage's office for half an hour, the two Hokage advisors and Obito entered.

"What's going on?" Sarutobi Hiruzen, although affected by the Distinguished Heavenly Gods, behaved no differently from before.

Obito didn't answer.

He raised his hand to cover his eyes and activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a tremor in his body, his face gradually becoming dull, and soon he pretended to look shocked.

"What have I done?!" he exclaimed, his face filled with anguish. "Oh, my good friend, I have killed you!"

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura exchanged glances.

They're back, they're all back!

They quickly recounted what had happened recently and, in the end, expressed their loyalty.

"Everything is ready, we just need the east wind. With just a word from you, Konoha can be set right again. First, capture Shisui and the others, then eliminate the Uchiha, and Konoha will welcome a bright future," they said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally agreed.

He called for another meeting.

But only members of the Sarutobi clan, the Mito clan, the Yamanaka clan, the Shimura clan, and the Ino-Shika-Chō were present.

Except for the Hyuga clan, all the well-known and prominent clans of Konoha were here.

After scolding the Uchiha, Sarutobi Hiruzen announced that the operation would begin the day after tomorrow.

The gates of Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi registered with the two gatekeepers and provided them with the Hokage's order.

After completing the procedure, he left Konoha.

This time, his mission was to go to the Fire Country metropolis and negotiate with the Hina Trading Company.

As he passed through the long Death Forest, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but shake his head.

They really can't wait, huh?

He stopped in his tracks.

Countless ninjas surged around him.

"Hokage-sama, what does this mean?" Uchiha Itachi asked.

"You Uchiha manipulated the Nine Tails' rampage and killed the Root leader Danzo. Your crimes are unforgivable," Hokage-sama replied.

"Hokage-sama, the Uchiha have nothing to do with the Nine Tails' rampage. Do you have any evidence?" Uchiha Itachi questioned.

"My words are evidence!"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi fell silent for a moment and asked again, "Did you order the killing of Shimura Danzo?"

"You Uchiha manipulated me."

"Where's the evidence?"

"I am the Hokage, my words are evidence!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly and repeated his reasons.

Surprisingly, Utatane Koharu and the others had no objections.

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but feel disappointed.

What exactly did he believe in when he previously believed in the Will of Fire?

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen said those words under Shisui's control, the others didn't.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Obito, and even though he was disguised, he couldn't hide his hatred.

He raised his hand and said, "Hokage-sama, this guy attacked me earlier and has Sharingan. He is highly likely to be the true mastermind behind the Nine Tails' rampage."

"How do you know..." Sarutobi Hiruzen asked instinctively.

Suddenly, there was silence all around.

Even Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu widened their eyes.

Obito's heart suddenly skipped a beat, a very dangerous premonition surging up.

Then countless ninjas appeared, forming a new encirclement.

Li Xiang looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, filled with sorrow and anger, and said, "Hokage-sama, why are you rebelling?!"

Although the plan was simple, the effect had already been achieved.

No matter how much the others questioned, they couldn't change the truth spoken by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
