On the third day of the defensive battle, Uchiha You, who was commanding the Tiger Unit in battle, felt a sudden shock in his heart.

His intuition told him that Uchiha Obito's death had been brought forward.

Following his intuition, he noticed the jumping causal line with his spiritual sense.

This is a causal line that Uchiha You is very familiar with and pays great attention to. He doesn't need to follow the line to look past it, he knows that the person on the other side is Uchiha Obito.

The special training mission before the outbreak of the war established a causal relationship between the two of them.

At that time, Uchiha Yuu specially taught Uchiha Obito real skills, the value of which far exceeded the task rewards issued by clan leader Fugaku, creating the reality that Obito owed him a great debt of gratitude.

To be honest, his purpose was not pure. He just wanted to use this cause and effect to offset the cost of scheming against Obito to death.

Later, Uchiha You achieved Golden Core with the help of cause and effect, and the cause and effect line became his best tool to monitor Obito, which led to his indifferent treatment of Obito.

When he saw Uchiha Obito's causal line jumping abnormally, he understood that this was the critical moment when Obito's fate would change.

But this shouldn't be the case. Uchiha Obito should be on standby at the Konoha Ninja Army camp behind Mount Surge. How come it has come to this critical moment out of the blue?

Uchiha You immediately summoned Uchiha Kazushi and ordered him: "Go to the camp and confirm whether Uchiha Obito is no longer in the camp?"

"If he's really gone, find out why he left?"

Uchiha Kazushi was in charge of intelligence and was not responsible for directly commanding the battle, so he immediately took the order and returned to the rear to investigate.

Soon, he brought back information.

Uchiha Obito is missing, and the entire team, including Hatake Kakashi, is missing.

Uchiha Kazushi said solemnly, "According to the command center, since the members of Team Hatake are all under the age of 16, they are classified as the wrong ones for counterattack and should stay on standby in the camp."

"But I found the records of their attack at the entrance of the camp, and the mission letter they received was fake!"

Uchiha You nodded. He already knew what happened and who did it.

It can only be Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara who launched the attack.

This happened much earlier than the Battle of Kammubi Bridge in history, and the location was also moved from the Grass Country in the north to the Fire Country in the south.

This is very normal. Uchiha You is so powerful now that his influence on the ninja world is also very great, just like the sculpture in the fountain.

Even if he just made a casual move, it could create huge waves in the pond of the ninja world.

Just because he treated Nagato through Konan, the course of the war in the ninja world underwent a dramatic change, and the focus of the war had shifted from the surrounding areas of the Rain Country.

With such a huge change, Uchiha Madara, who directed Uchiha Obito's fake death, would of course react, and it is also normal to launch the plan of faking Obito's death in advance.

…

The Tiger Unit's first battle was the defense of the hill. By now they have mastered this skill to perfection. Relying on the extremely long range of their exclusive Fire Escape, the battle was completely one-sided.

The Tiger Unit can attack the Sand Village Ninjas however they want, and the Sand Village Ninjas cannot reach the Tiger Unit even if they die of exhaustion.

Especially under the personal command of Uchiha Yu, the Tiger Force's firepower network was perfect.

Even when faced with a surprise attack from three Kage-level ninjas from the Sand Village, he was able to command the Tiger Unit to fight back with a saturation attack without having to do it himself.

Moreover, the Tiger Unit's ninjutsu has super long endurance. The defensive battle lasted until the second day, and the Tiger Unit's fire escape showed no signs of weakening.

On the contrary, the Sand Village ninjas, who were more numerous, were all exhausted due to the lack of a reasonable and orderly rotation mechanism.

Uchiha You thus became very relaxed, and was able to notice the intuitive alarm and discover the changes in Uchiha Obito's causal line.

Since Uchiha Madara has taken action, it is time for me to take action as well.

This time his target of action is two people. Uchiha Obito must die, that's the bottom line.

Uchiha Madara must also die, and then find a way to seize his soul and make him work for himself. This is the ending his ancestor deserves.

The difficulty of achieving this last goal is quite high. Today, Uchiha Madara is still the host of Indra. His soul has a close relationship with the Sage of Six Paths, and he may not be able to take it away by himself.

Therefore, Uchiha You decided that if Uchiha Madara's soul entered the Pure Land, he would completely destroy Madara's body information and maximize the difficulty of his resurrection.

Either Uchiha Madara cannot be resurrected, or the Six Paths Sage will take charge of it personally, just like he summoned the ten Five Kage, and personally preside over the resurrection ceremony of Uchiha Madara.

In short, he wanted to completely destroy Black Zetsu's plan that had been brewing for a thousand years and force Black Zetsu into a desperate situation in order to protect his core asset - the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha You couldn't help but get excited when he thought that he would be able to send Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara on the road soon.

He handed over all command to Uchiha Shigenobu and called Kazushi again.

Uchiha You said to Kazushi, "Go find the Fourth Hokage and tell him that the Tiger Unit has shown its might, and the Snake Unit can't just sit there and watch, right?"

Uchiha Shigenobu and Uchiha Kazushi were delighted when they heard this: "Master clan leader, are you planning a full-scale counterattack?"

Uchiha You nodded and said, "I think it's about time, but the final decision still needs to be made by the Fourth Hokage. You just need to follow the Hokage's orders from now on."

"Master Patriarch, you won't command us anymore?"

"Well, I have some things to take care of on my own. You guys have to fight the next battle on your own."

"yes!"

After explaining the task, Uchiha You immediately returned to his tent.

He deliberately took off his gray-blue coat and put on a dark blue round high-necked cardigan, which was the characteristic clothing of the Uchiha family. The chest and back were also decorated with the Uchiha family emblem.

With this attire, he can emphasize his identity as a member of the Uchiha clan to the greatest extent.

When seeing his owner changing his clothes, Miwa Masayo knew what he was going to do.

The tabby cat jumped up to Uchiha You and begged, "You, take me with you, meow. I want to meet Uchiha Madara, too."

Uchiha You looked at the kitten and nodded in agreement.

"It's okay when dealing with Obito, but you have to be careful when dealing with Uchiha Madara."

"Got it, meow."

"Uchiha Madara is special, and he has mastered countless secret techniques. His explosion before death will be very dangerous."

Miwa Masayo patted Uchiha You's ears impatiently and complained: "You, you've told me many times, meow, look, I can recite it now, meow."

Uchiha You nodded in satisfaction.

He did not continue speaking, but left the Konoha camp behind the Surge Mountain, took off into the air, and flew straight into the sky.

…

On the night when the defense of Mount Surge began, several jonin assault teams, including Minato Namikaze's team, and dozens of assault teams infiltrated into the rear of the Sand Village ninjas.

They launched the raiding war that ninjas were most familiar with, and had a fierce battle with the Sand Village's clearing ninja force.

But in the area occupied by the Sand Village Ninja, the Konoha Ninja was at an absolute disadvantage and mainly had to play a dangerous game of hide-and-seek to try to consume the Sand Village Ninja's strength.

Among the teams that counterattacked to the rear of Sunagakure was the Hatake team.

Originally, they should never have carried out such a dangerous mission, but Black Zetsu's abilities were such that he could tamper with even the Uchiha stele left behind by the Six Paths Sage, so modifying and forging orders from the Konoha headquarters was no big deal at all.

This purely forged order only required a simple confirmation from the team leader to easily identify the problem and discover that someone had tampered with it.

But Kakashi Hatake was extremely paranoid about the mission. Even though he received a problematic mission, he did not even confirm it before setting off with the team.

In a battle involving more than 50,000 ninjas on both sides, no one noticed the disappearance of a three-man team.

Without anyone knowing, Team Hatake walked towards the trap set by Black Zetsu.

At this time, Kakashi Hatake and his team were fleeing, and more than 300 Sand Village ninjas were chasing and blocking them, making them panic and at a loss.

There was more than one team of Konoha ninjas being hunted, and the one leading the team was a ninja from the Nara family. He couldn't understand how their whereabouts were so secretive, how could they be discovered by the Sand Village ninjas?

Especially after several tactical deceptions, which tricked the Sand Village ninjas, they were still able to track them down in the first place.

The Nara jonin knew that this was extremely abnormal. Either they had someone watching them, or there was a demon among Konoha's ninjas.

However, the huge difference in the number of enemies and ourselves caused the Konoha Ninja to be completely at a disadvantage, and he had no way to think about this problem carefully.

So the Nara Jonin made a decision: "Split up and retreat. The enemy can't track us all."

Soon everyone fled according to the order and everyone got separated.

Some of the teams were besieged by the Sand Village ninjas and soon died in battle, but most of the teams managed to escape.

Only Kakashi Hatake's team did not engage in a fight from beginning to end, but they were still unable to escape the pursuit and blockade of the Sand Village ninjas.

The Sand Village ninjas did not realize that their teammates who were injured or even killed in the previous fierce battle had actually recovered and rejoined the encirclement team.

Under the influence of these resurrected ninjas, the Sand Village ninjas never lost sight of the Konoha team, but they could not catch up with them.

And Kakashi Hatake did not realize that he was being driven to a completely unfamiliar road, heading towards a place that was obviously away from the battlefield.

Eventually they were trapped at the border between the River Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom. Surrounded by attackers on all sides, they had no choice but to hide in a secret cave that they suddenly discovered.

"Fortunately", the Sand Ninjas were unable to find the cave where they were hiding, but this group of Sand Ninjas actually launched a large-scale earth-style ninjutsu, causing the cave to collapse.

Kakashi's team fled quickly, but Lin, who was slightly weaker, was still injured in the leg and was about to die in the collapse.

At the critical moment, Uchiha Obito awakened the Sharingan, and it was not a simple opening of the eyes, but he directly opened the double magatama Sharingan, showing his strange talent for the first time.

The awakening of the Sharingan gave Obito super dynamic vision, and even his chakra amount received a significant boost.

Uchiha Obito, whose strength increased dramatically, successfully rescued Rin, but just like in history, half of his body was crushed by the collapsed rocks.

And it is the right half of the body that will not cause immediate death.

When Uchiha You arrived, what he saw was an extremely familiar scene.

Kakashi was in a trance, Rin was crying and at a loss as to how to save her. Uchiha Obito left his last words before his death.

It has to be said that this scene was exactly the same as in his memory, and Uchiha You did not feel the slightest sadness in his heart, only cold calculation.

[Such a precise "lethal injury", if it wasn't deliberately calculated, I would have eaten Obito. ]

[So where is Black Zetsu? ]

[Found it, finally found it. ]

Uchiha You didn't expect that Black Zetsu was hiding in a big tree less than 50 meters away.

Kurozetsu is worthy of being the third son of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. The dark hand hidden in the history of the ninja world has a very high-level life essence.

Even if Uchiha You formed a golden elixir, he would not be able to sense Black Zetsu.

This guy's body can devour all of Uchiha Yu's means of exploration. It is hidden in nature like a black hole and is completely undetectable.

But at this special moment, Uchiha Yu could conclude that Black Zetsu was nearby, otherwise he would not be able to protect Obito in time, which would easily lead to Obito's accidental death.

At such a close distance, Uchiha You can use saturated perception to make the surrounding environment reflect his mental power, thereby contrasting Black Zetsu from the surrounding environment.

When everything was reflecting his mental power, the existence that did not reflect his mental power at all was highlighted. It was definitely Black Zetsu.

Under normal circumstances, Uchiha You would not be able to find Black Zetsu, but fortunately, Black Zetsu could not find Uchiha You who was deliberately hiding himself.

He now uses the golden elixir to circulate the natural energy throughout his body, absorbing everything in the natural environment, while also allowing Uchiha You to blend into all things.

Especially when he merged into the earth, the natural shield of the thick soil made him completely undetectable by Black Zetsu, and he could even easily bypass White Zetsu who was performing the Mayfly Technique.

When the distance was close enough, Uchiha You used the gentlest movements to create the weakest barrier around Black Zetsu.

This barrier has only one function. When Black Zetsu moves, it will be contaminated by a faint trace of natural energy, becoming a signal that Uchiha Yu can track.

When everything was ready, Uchiha You quietly retreated to a distance, then he removed his hidden state and approached here with Miwa Masayo.

The appearance of Uchiha You aroused the vigilance of the Sand Village ninjas, and then they realized that this was a big shot of the Uchiha family. They were overjoyed and launched an attack.

Instead, those disguised White Zetsu received the warning from Black Zetsu and retreated without hesitation, took off their disguises, and used the Mayfly Technique to burrow into the ground.

But not all White Zetsu managed to escape successfully. The raccoon cat sitting on Uchiha Yu's shoulder suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had captured two White Zetsu.

Miwa Masayo used white flames to weave into belts and tied up the two White Zetsu. The high temperature burned them and they screamed in pain, but they were unable to utter a complete sentence.

This performance disappointed Miwa Masayo, who said regretfully: "After giving up the disguised personality, he can't even speak. This is the lowest level of White Zetsu."

She looked up at Uchiha Yuu and called softly, "Yuu!"

Uchiha You nodded and responded: "Don't worry, the Sand Village ninjas and White Zetsu will not let them run away."

He ignored the Sand Ninja that rushed over, put his hands together gently, and shouted softly: "Fire!"

Along with this light shout, chakra burst out like a tsunami, shocking the Sand Village ninja and the three Konoha ninjas.

Before the flames were launched, the Sand Village ninjas who pounced on Uchiha Yu felt the heat wave coming towards them. At that moment, their mouths became dry and their hair and beards became dry.

Fire Style: Great Fire Extinguishment

Uchiha You puffed up his cheeks and spewed out endless flames from his mouth. The sea of ​​fire in the sky was like a towering wall of fire, sweeping away all the enemies around.

The attacking Sand Village ninjas were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. They were too close and had no time to react before they were turned into ashes in the blazing flames.

The Sand Village ninja who was a little further away looked at the flames that filled their vision and the rolling heat waves coming towards them, and their hearts were shocked beyond words.

They, the Sand Village Ninja, have fought too many battles with the Konoha Ninja, and are very familiar with Fire Release Ninjutsu, so they naturally have various ways to deal with it.

However, those methods and ninjutsu to deal with normal Fire Style are absolutely a drop in the bucket and meaningless in the face of the natural disaster-like Fire Style before them.

The Sand Ninjas gave up resistance and murmured, "It's too extravagant to use such a technique against us..."

The flames rolled past, turning the mountains and forests into a flaming inferno, the rocks softened with red heat, and the human bodies turned to ash.

Even the White Zetsu hiding under the ground couldn't withstand such horrific heat and let out painful howls.

These monsters instinctively dived deeper into the earth, but Uchiha Yu's fire escape was aimed at them, and the damage suffered by the Sand Village was just the aftermath.

White Zetsu, who was attacked specifically, had no time to escape to the depths. His body was ignited by the high temperature and he turned into a burning tree in pain.

In the air-isolated environment underground, the White Zetsu were almost smothered into charcoal.

Black Zetsu, who was immune to ninjutsu attacks like the Truth-Seeking Ball, was also stunned at this time. It was not the first time he had seen such a fierce fire jutsu.

But he had only seen it twice in thousands of years.

The last time was after Uchiha Madara fused the Eternal Eye.

Black Zetsu's mind was in a mess, with all kinds of complicated thoughts emerging one after another.

[What's going on? How can there be such a powerful Uchiha ninja? ]

[Could it be that Uchiha Yu is also Indra's host? 】

[No, it's impossible. There is only one soul of Indra. Uchiha Madara is still alive. Uchiha Yuu can't be Indra.]

[Such a powerful level of fire escape has reached the limit of ninjas. Even Uchiha Madara could only achieve it after fusing with Izuna's Sharingan.]

[You have to know that at that time, Uchiha Madara was already over 30 years old, and this Uchiha You was less than 20 years old. ]

[Damn it, did I choose the wrong person? ]
