Chapter 151

But now that Ishihara has arrived in Konoha, Kakashi is about to complete his mission and return, and they will meet Ishihara very soon.

He did not know whether Ishihara, who had seen his true face, had investigated him.

But he dared not gamble!

So he must retrieve his own Mangekyō before Kakashi and Ishihara meet.

"Based on the intelligence gathered so far, he came to Konoha for Konoha's secret techniques and the Sharingan."

Zetsu's voice was somewhat heavy.

He also understood how terrifying Ishihara's ability to develop secret techniques was.

With Konoha's foundations, it was hard to imagine how far Ishihara's power would grow after obtaining those secret techniques.

He would absolutely become the greatest obstacle to the Eye of the Moon Plan!

Upon hearing this, Obito fell silent as well.

After a long while, he spoke softly, "Do you think Ishihara will obstruct our Eye of the Moon Plan?"

"He has already mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, a genjutsu no weaker than the Mangekyō, and space-time ninjutsu!"

"Plus the Sharingan and the Byakugan!"

"To be honest, I would not doubt that he will develop the Mangekyō Sharingan in the future, or even the Wood Release."

"Even the Rinnegan..."

Obito stopped short.

But Black Zetsu knew what he meant.

Could Ishihara develop the Rinnegan in the future?!

He wanted to say it was impossible, but he could not bring himself to say it!

The Rinnegan was indeed very complex, but Ishihara had developed the Sharingan without Uchiha bloodline, so there was no lack of possibility for developing the Rinnegan.

Black Zetsu thought for a moment and asked, "Have you considered having Nagato act?"

Obito frowned and sighed:

"Of course I have, but if it is only the Six Paths of Pain, the chance of success is not great."

"Unless Nagato's body is restored and the original body can fully wield the Six Paths' abilities."

But doing so, it was uncertain whether Nagato would still be under his control.

Most importantly, he was not sure whether a restored Nagato could kill Ishihara.

If not, and Nagato went out of control, then they would lose both the wife and the soldiers.

Black Zetsu thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Should we start capturing the Tailed Beasts now?"

Upon hearing this, Obito was immediately tempted.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu hurriedly said, "Although one Tailed Beast is still in its revival period, we can capture the other Tailed Beasts first."

"Although Ishihara's current strength is very great, his true combat power is still not comparable to the First Hokage and Madara at their peaks."

"As long as we complete the Eye of the Moon Plan ahead of schedule, Ishihara will be unable to form a threat."

Upon hearing this, Obito nodded.

It seemed this was probably the best course of action now.

"But before that, I must first retrieve my Mangekyō!"

Obito's eyes immediately became complex.

The Sharingan was the gift he had given Kakashi back then, and also the bond between the two; now to take it back made him feel somewhat depressed.

Somewhere within the Land of Fire.

Kakashi had just finished a mission with his ANBU squad when he received an urgent report from the Third Hokage.

The content of the report was only one thing: Ishihara has arrived in Konoha!

After seeing the report, Kakashi immediately led his people back to Konoha in haste, feeling quite uneasy.

"Why did Ishihara appear in Konoha?"

Thinking of his last encounter with Ishihara, Kakashi felt extremely depressed.

It was not only the gap in combat power, but more so the feeling Ishihara gave him!

It was as if some higher being was capturing prey and constantly studying it; the entire ninja world was his laboratory.

So he also had a strange feeling that Ishihara was not very dangerous.

Kakashi sighed, "I do not know whether Ishihara's arrival this time is a good thing or a bad thing."

Recently, the situation in Konoha has been too turbulent and treacherous.

Especially the open and covert struggles between the Uchiha and Konoha's higher-ups made him extremely annoyed.

So he found an opportunity to go out on a mission, just to avoid these conflicts.

Who would have thought he still could not escape them!

"Enemy attack!"

Suddenly, Yamato's voice rang out, snapping Kakashi back to his senses; his pupils immediately contracted.

Ahead, dust and debris swirled wildly, smoke and dust raged, and the ground trembled and rolled violently.

Wind Release and Earth Release!

Moreover, the assault was incredibly fierce and violent.

The enemy's strength must be very great.

Kakashi's mood was somewhat heavy; he did not expect to suddenly encounter an ambush on the way back, and he immediately roared:

"Disperse!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Dark Division members immediately scattered.

Kakashi immediately dodged behind a large tree, his back pressed against the trunk, preparing to quietly peek out.

Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, his hair stood on end; he instantly turned around in horror, his pupils suddenly contracting.

He saw a figure suddenly appear before his eyes, and one hand was already almost covering his eyes.

Kakashi's heart trembled with dread!

"Damn it!!!"

He had detected absolutely nothing; it was simply terrifying.

Without thinking, he immediately tried to dodge.

But!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two vines that had already appeared on the tree behind him instantly coiled around his body.

Kakashi was utterly horrified, finding it hard to believe.

"Wood Release?!!"

Did the enemy master Wood Release? Did Yamato betray the Leaf Village, or did the enemy master Wood Release?!

But Obito gave him no time to think.

Splat!!!

Obito cleanly gouged out Kakashi's eye; the three-tomoe Sharingan behind his mask stared fixedly at Kakashi.

"Sharingan?! Who exactly are you?!"

Kakashi, shocked by a series of unexpected events, his mind in chaos, ignored the pain of his eye being gouged out and demanded in a harsh voice.

Sharingan and Wood Release; the enemy mastered both abilities simultaneously. Who exactly was this figure?

Obito stared at Kakashi, his eyes filled with nostalgia, hatred, killing intent, and reluctance.

He spoke in a low voice:

"This is your punishment!"

Having finished speaking, Obito looked at Kakashi, and his figure slowly sank into the ground and vanished.

Boom!

Seeing that gaze, a name that absolutely should not have appeared flashed into Kakashi's mind, leaving his brain blank; he murmured:

"Impossible. Obito is already dead. It cannot be him."

But thinking of the mysterious person's gaze just now, Kakashi could not help but think of Obito.
