Chapter 16: Wait, I Won't Also Become a Sharingan Hero, Will I?

"This brat."

In the underground base, Madara frowned slightly at the document in his hand.

This document was the information White Zetsu obtained when he went to the Leaf Village about Obito and Yuzhi.

Only by deeply understanding a person's information can one discern their inner desires and then act upon them.

Obito is simple—so simple that after Madara looked at this information, he already came up with several plans.

But Yuzhi's information made Madara frown, especially when he thought of this brat's conversation with Minato Namikaze, which left him dazed.

"Complex thoughts, highly purposeful in action, and also not on good terms with Obito."

Madara muttered softly, frankly speaking, seeing this, Madara basically could give up.

Yet behind this information, Madara saw something else.

Yuzhi is meticulous, highly influential, extremely logical, and outstanding in execution.

Such a person can only be described as excellent; even in school, his performance with Obito was hard to describe.

But through postnatal changes, such a person has already shown the qualities of an excellent ninja, which truly puts Madara in a dilemma.

"However, executing my plan still requires a single-minded person, even if it's a bit troublesome."

After a while, Madara took a deep breath, but just then White Zetsu suddenly sprang out.

"Lord Madara, something happened."

"What happened?"

Madara frowned and asked, he dislikes being disturbed while thinking, but he's also used to White Zetsu's clamor.

"The Rock Village dispatched an explosive unit to intercept, and the person you're concerned about just set out."

"Explosive unit?"

Madara had heard of this unit, but to him it was hardly worth mentioning—just Yuzhi colliding with this unit's members.

"Let's see."

Although he leaned toward Obito, Madara still decided to take a look.

He needs to think carefully about how to position these two. —

"Why does Kakashi keep looking at me strangely?"

After resting for about a day, Yuzhi's team set out again.

Because the feats Yuzhi's team pulled off behind enemy lines were truly significant, causing problems on the Rock Village front lines.

This not only gave the Leaf Village a victory on the front lines, but also allowed them to rest a little behind enemy lines.

The front-line defeat forced them to mobilize more reserve troops to the front.

They also faced pressure from the Cloud Village, especially as the Sand Village seemed to be stirring.

The Sand Village was the culprit behind the Third War; although they had lost, that doesn't mean they lack ambition.

During the fierce battle between Rock Village and Leaf Village, the Fourth Kazekage Luo Sha actually led troops to intervene!

Such an approach perhaps drew no reaction from the Leaf Village, after all the Sand Village is now an ally of the Leaf Village, but it certainly shocked the Rock Village.

Now the Rock Village must face pressure from three sides, causing their ninja numbers to be somewhat stretched thin.

However, they won't let the rats behind enemy lines go unnoticed; fortunately, with Minato Namikaze around, this is no problem.

But they still have a more important mission to carry out; they cannot relax yet.

While Yuzhi was preparing on the side, his gaze unconsciously turned to Kakashi nearby.

Since Obito's "death," he used a relatively "brutal" yet deeply impactful way to enlighten Kakashi.

After that, Kakashi's emotions visibly recovered day by day, but he also noticed this guy occasionally staring at him in a daze.

Actually, it's not just Kakashi; Rin Nohara is the same.

But Rin's behavior feels good to him, while Kakashi makes him feel somewhat unnatural.

He knows that when dealing with girls, the best way is to swoop in right after they've just broken up.

Even if it doesn't directly yield results, it can definitely plant a seed in their hearts.

But Kakashi isn't like that, and he's a man—wouldn't he be too sentimental?

"Yuzhi, be careful."

After Yuzhi finished packing everything, Rin Nohara also came to his side.

"Also, thank you, if it weren't for you."

"Alright, don't say that."

Yuzhi immediately came to his senses, he revealed a smile.

"Whether it's you or Kakashi, we are classmates, and even more so, friends.

Now we are still comrades; I naturally don't want to see my comrades fall into self-destruction.

Moreover, if we really talk about being careful, I think you and Kakashi need to be more careful—your mission is more dangerous than ours.

If you really want to thank me, then carry out the mission well, protect yourselves, and come back to welcome us."

"Definitely."

Rin Nohara also smiled, she nodded earnestly.

Seeing this, Yuzhi simply reached out and ruffled her hair.

One must say, Rin Nohara's hair quality is still good, and she didn't object, but Yuzhi was thinking about something in his heart.

If Obito saw this scene, would he get angry again?

Also, Yuzhi was thinking about how to let Rin Nohara avoid that tragic fate.

Madara Uchiha's plan, or what Obito himself will do, Yuzhi doesn't care at all in his heart.

Don't say Yozhi knew from the start that the Moon Eye Plan was a scam; just the Sage of Six Paths still lurking in the ninja world makes it impossible for him to follow Madara.

Following him closely, at most you'll just become a tool; you can't say he's someone to be bullied in the future, and it's absolutely a future with no brightness.

"Yuzhi, are you all ready?"

Just as Yuzhi was thinking, Minato Namikaze also walked over.

"You also know this mission is extremely important; although I don't want to do this, I have to entrust the flank to you."

Minato Namikaze appeared very humble, with none of the airs of a jonin.

Moreover, while speaking, he also took out a kunai and handed it to Yuzhi.

"This is my special kunai, bearing my mark."

If I encounter a danger that's hard to handle, I just pour chakra into it and I can sense it.

Then I will rush over as quickly as possible.

"I understand."

Yuzhi nodded, then put away Minato Namikaze's kunai.

Although Minato Namikaze, as the ninja world's godspeed, is always late, Yuzhi still trusts him.

After all, being late is better than not coming; as long as you can hold out, everything can be worked out.

"Stay safe."

Kakashi also walked over at this time and whispered a sentence beside Yuzhi.

"Thanks, you too."

Yuzhi gladly accepted such a blessing.

But he also wondered whether Kakashi was treating him as another Obito.

Although his heart was full of strange thoughts, Yuzhi didn't have the energy to think about so much.

After Minato Namikaze and the others set off, and after seeing them off, he also brought the well-rested Akai and Aoba to set off.

"Yuzhi, what should we do next?"

Having gotten good rest, with his body recovered, Akai is now especially excited.

Not only him, Shancheng Qingye also appeared somewhat overexcited.

Although Minato Namikaze didn't say it outright, he also tacitly accepted Yuzhi's statement about 'ending the war mission'.

For these two boys, this is an unimaginable honor!

"We'll pass carefully, then observe the situation; Rock Village won't just let this go."

Yuzhi, on the other hand, remained calm; although Rock Village is stretched thin, the search parties will definitely not be few.

Even if some powerful ninjas appear, it definitely wouldn't be surprising.

Rock Village, they're really going all out!

"But after this mission, I probably won't also become a 'Sharingan hero,' right?"

Just then, Yuzhi suddenly had such a thought pop into his mind.

However, Aoba also suddenly stopped walking and then raised his hand.

Seeing this, Akai hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's someone ahead." Aoba immediately spoke up.

Boom, boom, boom——

Just as his words hadn't finished, the surroundings suddenly erupted in a series of violent explosions.

The flames produced by the explosions instantly engulfed the three of them.

Newbies beg for reads; now getting reads will decide a book's fate, raising books is easy but killing them is also easy.

Thanks, everyone, Onz.
