Chapter 52 Main Mission 2: Obito chants to reduce pressure
Just like when he came, Zhenyan drove away again.
This was the first time he used the car after getting it. Originally, he wanted to keep the car with him and drive it, but now that he had driven it in front of Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, he could no longer drive back.
On the way back, Shingon stopped when passing by the Hidden Rain Village, left the car in the Hidden Rain Village, and asked Scorpion to see if he could add a roof to the car.
As for the rest of the journey, Shinyan could only use "Ninja Run" to run back. When he ran back to the village, he immediately released the shadow clone and received another part of the memory.
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya had already returned using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu before him. The two, especially Minato Namikaze, did not even have time to go home before they began to deal with village affairs because the Third Hokage died in the battle with Orochimaru.
Shingon already knew this result when the last shadow clone that delivered the message was released. At this time, he received the memory of another shadow clone. In the memory of this shadow clone, the Third Hokage once said to him: "If the disciple makes a mistake, I, as the teacher, will be held responsible."
When the Third Hokage said this, he felt grief for his beloved disciple, a sense of determination to make amends at all costs, and a flaming will as a Hokage, or a Konoha ninja.
It was because of seeing all this that Shingon was unable to intervene. He could only respect the choice of the Third Hokage.
After the death of the Third Hokage, the Fourth Hokage who returned to the village became the busiest person. He had to deal with the follow-up matters of the Chunin Exams, and also negotiate with the people of the Sand Village about the "Konoha Invasion Plan".
The village cannot be without a shadow for a day, and the two elders, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, want to take this opportunity to let Namikaze Minato stay and succeed the position of Hokage. However, Namikaze Minato is unable to make a decision because he thinks about the alien ruins that have not yet been found and the attacks on the jinchuriki of each village.
After consideration, Minato Namikaze wanted his teacher Jiraiya to be the Hokage, but Jiraiya was used to being a free man outside, and he was also responsible for the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage and needed to find and teach the son of the prophecy, so he refused to be the Hokage.
Besides Jiraiya, there is another most suitable candidate for the position of Hokage, and that is Tsuna, one of the three ninjas who is as famous as Jiraiya.
It's just that in the early years, because he lost his lover and younger brother in the war, Tsunayoshi was left with psychological trauma. Perhaps because he was afraid of being reminded of the past, he has been traveling all these years. It may take time to find the person, and the most important thing is that even if he finds the person, Tsunayoshi may not be willing to come back.
So based on the current situation, the most suitable candidate is Minato Namikaze.
On the Konoha side, Namikaze Minato had not yet decided whether to stay and succeed as Hokage, but the system went online.
[Host, the deviation rate has risen to 80%...] The spiritual perception system is about to collapse. It had clearly dropped to 50% before, but it rebounded again in just one day.
This time, there is no need for a system scan, the truth can be guessed. The problem is most likely with Minato Namikaze, and Minato Namikaze cannot return to the village at this time.
[Don't panic.] True words comfort system, [I will deal with this matter now.]
Such a big thing happened in Konoha this time. After Minato Namikaze dealt with a wave of emergencies, he brought back Kushina who was investigating the alien ruins.
Black Zetsu had also paid attention to the Otsutsuki ruins during his travels in the ninja world over the years. Through Black Zetsu's intelligence, Shingon found the ruins that Kushina and Namikaze Minato were investigating, and he wanted to enter the ruins to take a look.
As for how to enter the ruins, Shingon thought of Obito. Obito's Sharingan can open the Kamui space, and maybe it can also open other spaces.
The Shingon Raixiao Organization came to Obito: "Brother Chi, can you do me a favor?"
Obito lowered his eyes and looked at Shingen without saying a word.
Shingo knew that Obito didn't talk much, so he directly stated his purpose: "I want to ask Chida-ge to help open a space."
"What are you going to do?" Obito asked. He was different from Black Zetsu and Itachi. He would not agree to the truth about those messy things that had nothing to do with the plan.
"Uncle Minato has returned to the village and is in some trouble, so I wanted to create some noise so that Uncle Minato can continue investigating outside," Shingon explained.
"Are you a ninja from Konoha?" Obito asked, grasping the key point.
"I'm not a ninja." Zhenyan also answered the key point.
Obito looked at Manabu's mask through his own mask. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Manabu had mentioned Kakashi to him before. Manabu's tone sounded very familiar at that time. He should have guessed that Manabu was a ninja from Konoha.
"If you're not a ninja from Konoha, how can you know Kakashi and... the Fourth Hokage?" Obito pointed out the loophole in Shingen's words.
"Even though I'm not a ninja, I can still know Kakashi and Uncle Minato." Shingen also pointed out the problem in Obito's words.
"You mean, you're not a ninja from Konoha, but you know Kakashi?" Obito felt that Shingen was making excuses.
Shingen nodded: "Although I am not a ninja from Konoha, I know Kakashi."
Obito: “…………”
"You're not a ninja from Konoha, so how do you know Kakashi?" Obito gradually lost his patience.
Shinon was also confused. He didn't understand why Obito kept asking the same question over and over again: "I live next door to Kakashi. Isn't it normal for neighbors to know each other?"
Obito: “…………”
The veins on Obito's forehead finally popped out, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then why do you say you are not a ninja from Konoha?"
"I'm indeed not a ninja." Zhenyan said innocently.
Obito closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, suppressing the anger that was rising to his head and then asking the next question: "You mean you live in Konoha, but you're not a ninja?"
"Well, that's what I think, Brother Chi?" Shinon felt that Obito seemed to have misunderstood something.
Obito: “…………”
With Shingon's ability to stir up trouble everywhere, he actually told him that he was not a ninja? !
Obito thought it was ridiculous, but he soon figured it out. He guessed that Madara arranged for Manabu to be an ordinary villager in order to hide Manabu's true identity.
After figuring this out, Obito looked at Shingon and asked, "Who told you the name 'Chi'?"
When Shingon came to the Akatsuki organization for the first time, they called him "Stupid Big Brother, Stupid Big Brother". He guessed that it was someone in Konoha who knew him who gave him the nickname. After Shingon heard it, he wrote it down.
The only people who could give him such a nickname should be those who are familiar with him. Thinking of this, Obito suddenly felt angry and gritted his teeth at the same time, because apart from Kakashi, he couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a boring thing...
Obito was gritting his teeth, but then he heard Shin said, "It was the Chi Big Brother who told me."
Obito: “???”
"Isn't 'Chi' the pseudonym that Big Brother Chi gave himself to use when traveling around the world?" Zhenyan asked again.
"When did I ever give myself such a name?!" Obito found that whenever he encountered the truth, he could not control his temper.
"Have you forgotten, Brother Chi? We have met before." Zhenyan said, raising his hand to take off the mask on his face.
Before, Zhenyan was not familiar with the Xiao organization, so in order to avoid trouble, he did some disguises. However, after getting along with them for such a long time, he found that although everyone in the Xiao organization has very strong personalities, they are all people who value friendship.
Moreover, the main concept of the Akatsuki organization has always been openness and inclusiveness. In other words, everyone in the Akatsuki organization can fully accept his identity as a Konoha villager.
Now that he was out, he continued to use disguises not to avoid the Akatsuki organization, but because otherwise, people in Konoha Village might not be able to accept him working part-time in the Akatsuki organization...
Shingon can fully understand this. To use a metaphor from martial arts novels, the Akatsuki organization is a demonic sect whose members usually act freely and unrestrainedly. On the other hand, Konoha Village is a well-known and upright sect. Upright people always have some moral baggage and are easily restrained when doing things.
He was a man who came from a decent family but accidentally made friends with the evil cult and ended up wandering between the two extremes.
Although the evil sect and the righteous sect are still incompatible, Zhenyan believes that one day everyone will understand each other, and then he can bring his friends outside home and introduce them to his family.
Obito stared at Mangon's face. This was a face that he would never forget once he had seen it. Right in front of the memorial stone in Konoha, Mangon had asked him to find a craftsman... and he should have thought of it a long time ago, because the craftsman Mangon finally found was the Scorpion of the Akatsuki organization.
Obito's attention was all on the relationship between Mantra, Black Zetsu, and Madara, which made him ignore the most important clue.
Finally figuring out the true identity of Shingon, Obito thought about the question just now and asked, "When did I tell you my name was 'Chi'?"
"It was when Big Chi left that day." Zhenyan said, "I asked Big Chi's name, and Big Chi said 'Chi'."
Obito: “…………”
Obito tried hard to suppress the anger in his chest, but he couldn't help but get angry when he spoke: "I said 'tsk'!"
"Ah?" Shingon looked at Obito and said in sudden realization, "It turned out to be Brother Chi."
Obito: “…………”
"But I think 'Chi-da-ge' sounds better." Shingon added. Although they are homophones, when he called Obito before, he was thinking of 'Chi'. Now he suddenly changed the word and he was a little uncomfortable with it.
Obito was grinding his back teeth, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound...
Zhenyan was unaware of this. His identity had already been explained. He then talked about the purpose of his visit: "Brother Chi, can you help me open a space?"
Shingon still called him "Chi-ge". After all, they are homophones and there is no difference. He called him "Chi-ge", and Obito could completely understand it as "Chi-ge".
Obito's gaze passed through the round hole in the mask and stared at Shingon's face, which was uncovered and pleading earnestly. Finally, he seemed to be deflated, loosened his clenched fists, turned around and left.
"Eh?" Shinon chased after him without knowing what was going on. Because he ran too fast and didn't brake, he went straight through Obito's body and came in front of him.
Shingon turned around and asked Obito: "Chida, you haven't answered me yet."
Obito stopped and looked at Shingo who was blocking the way, and the mask that Shingo was holding in his hand, and asked, "Do you know why there is only one hole on the mask?"
Shinyan also looked at the mask in his hand and said, "Because it has a sense of mystery and will look cool."
Obito: “…………”
The anger that Obito had just released began to rise again. He suddenly realized that when communicating with Mangon, he had to speak very directly, otherwise his blood pressure might soar because of Mangon's next words.
Obito calmed down for the umpteenth time. He looked at Shingon and emphasized bluntly, "I only have one Sharingan."
He can indeed enter the Shenwei space at will, because the Shenwei space is connected to his eyes, but if he wants to open other people's space, it would be difficult to do it with the power of one eye only.
"Ah?" Shingon looked up at Obito. Looking at the small hole on the mask, he suddenly remembered what he had seen in the comics.
In the comics, Kakashi was promoted to jonin. Minato Namikaze and Rin Nohara gave him kunai and medical kits as gifts respectively, but Obito was the only one who got nothing. It was not until later when half of Obito's body was crushed by a boulder that he gave one of his Sharingan to Kakashi as a gift before he died.
If one eye cannot open up other dimensions, what about calling Kakashi for help?
Zhenyan thought about it, and finally gave up.
Because Obito is still a "dead man" now, and looking at his current appearance, it seems that he has no intention of "coming back to life". Kakashi has been buried in the grave for decades, and it may be difficult for the person in the grave to accept that he suddenly comes back to life.
However, it's not good for the two of them to stay together like this forever. They have to adapt slowly. Thinking of this, Shinon said, "Is there anything I can tell Kakashi, Chida?"
Obito: “…”
Shingon: "For example, tell Kakashi that I received your kindness and you don't have to bury me all the time..."
Zhenyan: "Or don't throw dangerous items into the Shenwei space, it will disturb my sleep..."
Obito: “…………”
Obito's blood pressure and anger began to soar uncontrollably. He clenched his fists and almost bit his teeth to pieces: "Kid, you don't think I won't attack you just because you have the Ten Tails!"
"Brother Chi, my real name is Uchiha Shingon, and my name in the martial arts world is Jiayan." Shingon said. He looked at Obito rubbing his hands together and asked in confusion, "Brother Chi, why are you going to attack me?"
Shingo didn't wait for Obito to answer, and soon figured it out himself. He immediately added: "Don't worry, I won't reveal your identity. I will just say that Obito-kun has a spirit in heaven and came to me in my dream."
"We are both Uchiha, I think it is reasonable for you to tell me in my dreams."
There is a spirit in heaven. A reasonable dream. Obito: “…………”
"If you don't want to add another 'Uchiha Mantra' to Kakashi's grave, then shut up!" Obito threatened viciously, and his words were squeezed out one by one through his teeth, which showed that he had reached the limit of his patience.
"Ah..." Shingon saw that Obito's expression suddenly became strange. He knew that everyone in the Akatsuki organization had some quirks.
For example, some like puppets, some like explosions, some like origami, some like missionary work, and some like making money...
And Obito's hobby, is it that he likes to watch people being buried?
After hesitating for a while, Zhenyan finally said, "Chida Ge, I respect your choice." Everyone's hobby deserves respect.
Obito: “…………”
Somehow, looking at Zhenyan's expression, he seemed to be even angrier...
"Idiot brother, come with me to collect debts." Shingon invited Obito again. Since Obito's Sharingan couldn't be used, he wanted to try his own eyes.
After his eyes were upgraded to six magatama, he could vaguely sense the existence of some barriers and spaces, but he was still a little short of opening the barriers and entering the inner space, so he wanted to absorb the chakra of a few more tailed beasts to see if he could do it after his eyes were upgraded.
Debt collection?
Perhaps it was because he associated it with what had just happened to him, but when Obito heard Mangon describe the absorption of the tailed beasts' chakra, he actually felt a little sympathy for those tailed beasts. For those tailed beasts, meeting Mangon was probably the most unfortunate thing that had ever happened to them in their lives!
Regarding the debt collection, Obito, whose blood pressure was high today, refused Managao because he needed to stay away from Managao and calm himself down.
However, Zhenyan said, "Brother Chi, I need your help."
Shingon asked Obito for help because the commotion they caused last time when they went to collect a debt from the Tailed Beast was quite loud, and now all the ninja villages are still on guard. Obito's Kamui Sharingan is a very useful ability whether for hiding or sneaking.
Obito stared at Managao. Without the mask blocking his view, he could see Managao's expression clearly.
Whether he was saying those irritating words or asking him for help, Zhenyan's expression was always serious and sincere.
But it was this truth that made him so angry that his blood pressure soared, and it was so stupid that he was helpless.
"Foolish brother?" Shinon wondered why Obito didn't react.
Obito exhaled slowly, and he began to recite in his heart: Infinite Moon Reading Infinite Moon Reading Infinite Moon Reading...
Obito always reminds himself that the infinite monthly reading is the most important, don't worry about the rest, don't worry about it...
After regaining his composure using the Infinite Moon Reading Sutra, Obito finally convinced himself and followed Shingon's lead.
Shingon set his target this time as the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails. One reason was that these two tailed beasts were in the Iwagakure Village, and it would be more cost-effective to collect two debts in one action. The other reason was that the ruins that Kushina and Namikaze Minato were investigating were near the Iwagakure Village, so of course he had to choose the nearest one.
Regarding the rules of eye upgrades, Shingon has basically summarized them. Except for the initial opening of his eyes and the third magatama that was discovered during the Uchiha clan extermination mission, his eyes were upgraded because the Ten-Tails in his body absorbed the chakra of the tailed beast.
At the beginning, every time the Ten-Tails absorbed the Tailed Beast's chakra three times, his eyes could be upgraded once. After three upgrades, plus the two magatama upgraded by his own emotional fluctuations, his eyes reached five magatama.
And from five magatama to six magatama, the Ten-Tails absorbed the Tailed Beast Chakra six times before it could upgrade. After that, he absorbed the Tailed Beast Chakra five more times with the Ten-Tails. That is to say, now, his eyes are still fixed on six magatama.
According to the previous rules, Shingon guessed that he only needed to absorb chakra with the Ten-Tails once more to level up.
The fact is just as Shingon guessed. After he and the Ten-Tails absorbed the Four-Tails' chakra, his eyes were upgraded to Seven Magatama. However, since it was already there, he also absorbed the Five-Tails from the same village.
In this operation, Manabu and Obito cooperated perfectly. First of all, it was Obito's Sharingan ability that allowed the two of them to see the Jinchūriki without alerting anyone. Then Manabu used his mouth-to-mouth tactics to "go to bed" and after absorbing the Tailed Beast's chakra, he hypnotized the Tailed Beast and the Jinchūriki who knew about it.
The two of them were like ghosts, traveling around the Hidden Rock Village and taking away the chakra of the two tailed beasts without alarming anyone.
After leaving Iwagakure, Obito and Shingon went to the location of the ruins together.
After arriving at the location of the ruins, Shingon took off his disguise mask and opened his two seven-magatama Sharingan.
This was the first time that Obito saw the True Sharingan clearly. He was so surprised that he asked directly: "Why are your eyes seven magatama?"
Shingon blinked and looked at Obito. He felt that his eyes were following the normal upgrade route. After three magatama, they were upgraded to four magatama. Isn't this the normal thing to do?
It should be surprising that after three magatama, it turns into the Mangekyō Sharingan, right?
Thinking this way, Zhenyan also said this: "My upgrade is normal. Don't you think it's weird that it suddenly blooms after three magatama?"
Obito: “…………”
Obito was silent, and recited the Purification Sutra again: Infinite Moon Reading, Infinite Moon Reading, Infinite Moon Reading...!
