Chapter 190: with translation of chapter title

"No no. How could it be possible?!"

Kakashi's mind went blank at this moment, he was completely stunned.

Mao Yue Xiyan at this moment also felt a bit dazed; she never expected that the guy on their dark division blacklist would actually be Obito!!

What kind of person is Obito? Xiyan naturally knows, after all everyone used to be classmates.

Although Obito and Kakashi were both her seniors, they didn't really interact in school, but Obito saved Kakashi and gave him the Sharingan.

Finally forged the story of the 'Three Sharingan Heroes', and the rebirth of Kakashi as the 'future head of the dark division'!

Speaking of which, the participants of that mission who survived all seemed to have been promoted; Lord Minato became the Fourth Hokage, and Lord Yuzhi became the Fifth.

Senior Akai became a Jonin, senior Aoba became a member of the Shadow Guards, senior Rin became a disciple of Lady Tsunade, and also a member of the Shadow Guards.

Although this seems not bad at first glance, but how many people died in that operation, what price was paid—this is something those who participated in the mission are unwilling to talk about.

And Obito is one of them, but how did he come back to life now?

"What on earth is going on?"

"You remember?"

Someone capable of reaching this point, Yuzhi doesn't even need to think much to decide; it must be Madara Uchiha who opened the Rinnegan with his own power!

"Is this how you treat me, Kakashi?"

"Can you really feel proud of something like this?"

"Back then, Uchiha Haori recognized me, but whether it was you or Rin, you all forgot me."

Yuzhi glanced at his junior female student; even wearing a mask he knew who it was, but he remained expressionless and looked at Kakashi as he spoke.

"Nothing is impossible, Kakashi."

This made him feel somewhat doubtful; he also wasn't quite clear what exactly had happened.

"No need to apologize to me."

Kakashi spoke with some difficulty, but he now felt his headache getting worse.

Seeing Kakashi like this, Hikari also sighed; Kakashi is probably going to suffer now.

"You didn't save me, Rin didn't save me, Teacher didn't save me, Uchiha Haori didn't save me!"

"You all abandoned me, but do you really think I'm dead?"

This made Xiyan secretly anxious; this can't continue, especially since this guy is a major criminal of the Leaf Village!

"Captain, you can't listen to this guy's nonsense, pull yourself together!"

"You you are the one who later attacked us?"

"Your scheming is really deep, did you do this because you were worried about failing?"

But this pervert Yuzhi always likes to bring it up, then shows off a smug look, especially when facing Tobirama Senju he calls others 'little brats'.

Although Sakumo Hatake was still stunned by Kakashi's Flying Thunder God technique, he could also see that his son seemed not to be in his normal state.

It seemed as if some power was in motion; his condition immediately caught Yuzhi's attention.

"Not bad."

But she was also curious how Yuzhi could be so certain that the lunatic back then was Obito Uchiha, and that he had thought so all along.

"When we met back then, he just called out that name."

Hikari let out a soft hum in her heart; although she never liked talking about her age, especially after being with Yuzhi she didn't want to.

"Now that you know the truth, as an old friend, are you willing to help me?"

Seeing Kakashi's condition, Yuzhi involuntarily nodded slightly in his heart.

Hikari silently muttered something to herself, but soon she shook her head.

This wasn't unexpected, and it's even better this way!

Yuzhi quite likes a saying: 'If we can't meet again with red eyes, can we still meet with red cheeks?'

Without changing expression, he used the Sharingan to probe Kakashi's condition, and in an instant he sensed something.

"Help you?"

"To me, the two most important people abandoned me, forgot me, ignored me!"

"No matter who it is, she doesn't care; anyway she hates that mysterious person to death, and she still remembers that bastard eavesdropping on their conversation back then."

Yuzhi lightly shook his head, slowly put his mask back on, and then, under the gaze of several people, he spoke softly.

Hidden so deeply, it only manifests and exerts influence under such circumstances; normally even Yuzhi couldn't tell anything.

Moreover, accompanied by his breathing difficulty, in an instant he felt as if something in his head had exploded.

In that instant, his complexion turned even worse; he incredulously stared at Yuzhi, and only after a while did he speak slowly.

Although it's an old song, placing it here feels a bit out of place, but what Yuzhi wants is for both sides to have red eyes.

Moreover, that lunatic actually showed up at her door, wanting her to follow him around, and that lunatic thinks he's someone important?

"Even if it's Madara Uchiha, to me he's just a junior!"

"As expected, there is a Shadow Release force in his mind; it seems to be the work of that guy Madara Uchiha."

Yuzhi could not help but nod, his attitude making Hikari beside him almost roll her eyes.

Probably this Shadow Release is invisibly affecting Kakashi's judgment and thinking, especially regarding Obito.

Xiyan watched Kakashi lower his head and remain silent, while the other white-haired guy, although on high alert, had already shown from earlier events that he couldn't do anything.

"Sorry sorry."

Yuzhi silently muttered to himself, but he also didn't intend to do anything; he could see that this Shadow Release had begun to dissipate and posed no danger of explosion.

Yuzhi imitating Obito's words, each sentence felt like a dagger stabbing Kakashi's heart, that pain making his breathing somewhat difficult.

Yuzhi couldn't know what Hikari was really thinking inside, he put on a look of grievance yet endurance.

"You have already betrayed me once, and you still have my eyes; I think you should also make some compensation for me."

I now have a plan, a grand plan, a plan that can restore peace to the world!

We have all experienced war, we are all victims of war, and I think you now understand even more deeply what the suffering of war is.

So, are you willing to help me, to help me accomplish this plan?

Yuzhi didn't know whether Obito's words were as stirring as his own, but he felt he could now also be considered a movie emperor.

At least earlier he expressed that feeling of betrayal, and now he has become indifferent, which actually fits Obito's psychological change.

"Captain, don't let him deceive you!"

Xiyan looked at Kakashi, still with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, and she couldn't help but become anxious.

"Don't forget, what exactly did he do to Leaf Village, the Nine-Tails incident, and everything that followed!"

"And Captain, look at his attire, he is now a member of the Akatsuki Organization!"

"Nine-Tails incident?"

Qimu Shuomao heard these words, his eyes slightly unfocused; he had already learned of this matter when chatting idly with Kakashi.

The Nine-Tails breaking loose nearly destroyed Leaf Village; if it weren't for the Fifth Hokage couple intervening, that night would certainly not have been peaceful.

Not to mention the Nine-Tails destroying Leaf Village, simply the Nine-Tails not returning to the seal would cause the Fourth Hokage's wife to die.

It might even cause the Fourth Hokage couple to die together!

"Such a threatening and frightening guy, was he once Kakashi's close friend?"

Qimu Shuomao didn't know exactly what Kakashi intended to do, but he already knew what he himself needed to do.

Although he once chose suicide due to injustice, his love for the village would not change.

Moreover, he has now been revived, and it was the Fifth Hokage who revived him; in other words, his life was given by the Fifth Hokage.

The Qimu clan has always had the tradition of samurai; Qimu Shuomao naturally also received this influence, and he knew what he needed to do.

"Kakashi, you leave first."

Qimu Shuomao stood up, he gripped the short knife in his hand tightly, and then spoke in a low voice.

"Your current condition is not suitable for carrying out a mission, so take her and leave first; I'll hold the rear."

"I"

Kakashi was still a bit dazed; he slowly lifted his head to look at his father, but Qimu Shuomao had already stepped forward to block in front of him.

Only then did he slightly turn his head; even with his mask on, Kakashi seemed still able to see the smile he revealed.

"Leave it to me; I will never let any villain threatening the village go unpunished.

Moreover, the Fifth Hokage has shown me kindness; some of my long-held wishes are considered fulfilled, although it's a pity the time is too short.

But Kakashi, you must follow your true heart, you must understand your will, and what I must do now is to follow my own will!

As his words fell, Qimu Shuomao flashed forward and rushed straight at Yuzhi!

"Be careful, this guy uses space technique; his attacks can be dodged, and only when he makes a move do we have a chance."

Xiyan saw this, she immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time she stood in front of Kakashi, her gaze fixed on Hikari as if ready to strike at any moment.

"Space technique?"

The short knife flashed with a cold light and stabbed straight at Yuzhi; Qimu Shuomao silently chanted in his heart, while Yuzhi faced the blade without flinching.

As the blade's light grazed his body, he then slowly extended his hand toward Qimu Shuomao.

Obito is useless in everything, but his eye technique is truly heaven-defying, which means Yuzhi really doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to seize an opportunity and that's enough.

"Huh?"

However, what made Yuzhi raise his eyebrows slightly was that Qimu Shuomao reacted extremely fast; he actually dodged backward at the moment Yuzhi extended his hand, and at the same time struck again!

"This combat awareness is not bad."

However, his knife still only grazed the body, causing no trouble!

"Tch, completely missed again, really a hassle."

Qimu Shuomao saw the blade graze again, he involuntarily shook his head, but he also did not go all out.

Having retained some strength, at the moment his attack missed, he leapt backward and immediately pulled out a bunch of kunai, throwing them at Yuzhi.

While retreating, he also quickly analyzed the current situation.

Although he had entered the ANBU and had a lot of data in his hands, he had only just been revived not long ago, and moreover he was more concerned about Kakashi's condition.

Therefore he hadn't had time to look at much of the data, which meant he still needed to gather a lot of intelligence during battle.

But it must be said his combat awareness is truly strong; merely knowing the concept of 'space technique' already allowed him to make a fairly perfect response.

"I can't hit this guy, and he isn't making any obvious moves, which is somewhat troublesome."

He landed quickly, looked at Yuzhi who gave him a glance, then slowly pulled out a black staff and walked over, and the words of Xiyan appeared again in his mind.

"Must we wait for him to act before there's an opening, but this is too risky.

I don't have space technique to move, so I can't match his attack speed.

Then there is only one way to deal with it.

Qimu Shuomao thought of this, his eyes instantly became firm; seeing Yuzhi continually approach, he rushed forward again and swung his short knife!

"Tsk tsk, where did you come from, you little brat? I told you the answer, yet you're only performing like this?"

Yuzhi's mockery was at its max, he spoke somewhat disdainfully, and at the same time he waved his hand, the black staff striking toward Qimu Shuomao.

"Hmm!"

However, at the instant he struck, a scene appeared that made him laugh helplessly, because in his Sharingan he clearly saw Qimu Shuomao had already used a clone technique!

"Lightning clone?"

Kakashi's attributes are quite comprehensive; although we don't know which are innate and which were gradually trained later.

But Lightning Release has always been his specialty; given that, Qimu Shuomao's Lightning Release is probably not weak either.

The nature of chakra inherently has some heritability, just as the Uchiha Clan basically excels in Fire Release.

But even after seeing Yuzhi's Lightning Clone, he didn't stop; he was quite curious about what Qimu Shuo Mao would do.

Bang—

The black staff swept by, and in an instant Qimu Shuo Mao's Lightning Clone was shattered; the azure electric current emitted a 'zzzz' sound and, following the black staff, spread toward Yuzhi's body!

"Opportunity!"

Qimu Shuo Mao's eyes lit up; he instantly broke through, and at the same time several Kunai appeared in his hand.

He hurled those Kunai at Yuzhi, and Yuzhi clearly saw that each Kunai had a Detonation Rune attached!

"Ninjutsu: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

While the Kunai were still in flight, Qimu Shuo Mao bit a short sword in his mouth and quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

In an instant, the number of Kunai multiplied exponentially, and in the blink of an eye a dense swarm surged toward Yuzhi!

"Can't match your attack speed, so I'll overwhelm you by other means; you'll inevitably show a flaw!"

When the countless Kunai landed on Yuzhi, whose body still crackled with electric light, without even waiting to hit the ground, Qimu Shuo Mao, with a single‑hand seal, instantly detonated all the Detonation Runes!

Boom, Boom, Boom—

Deafening, continuous explosions rang through the forest; the ground trembled slightly amid the relentless blasts, and thick smoke rose slowly, obscuring everyone's view.

Flames began to spread, igniting the surrounding trees; Qimu Shuo Mao stood alert in the smoke, scanning the area, still unsure of the situation.

"Dead?"

He thought to himself, then quickly shook his head; a person who can survive against the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Hokage doesn't seem so easy to kill.

He did this partly to impart some experience to Kakashi, and also to force Kakashi to leave!

He knows the relationship between Kakashi and Obito, and how deeply Obito might influence Kakashi, so he doesn't intend to let Kakashi stay here.

It would be better if he took on some matters; there's no need for Kakashi to keep suffering.

"And when he returns, reporting this to the Hokage should allow a better response."

He murmured softly, but at that moment he suddenly halted, turned quickly, and saw a silhouette walking toward him.

"Not bad, coming up with such a plan in such a short time—impressive."

Yuzhi emerged unscathed, slowly moving toward Qimu Shuo Mao through the smoke.

"Using electric current to paralyze my body, then answering with an all‑over explosive barrage—so you seem far stronger than other ANBU, huh?"

"Huh, it really had no effect?"

Qimu Shuo Mao ignored Yuzhi's words, staring intently at him, his Ninja Sword already gripped tightly.

"There's no need for such futile resistance; it's meaningless."

Yuzhi spoke calmly; his mood was still good, and Qimu Shuo Mao's approach felt satisfying to him.

He was still somewhat worried that this "Muye Baiya" might harbor resentment from being set up to die, but now it seemed any grudge was directed at certain people.

To dispel that grudge, Yuzhi decided that after returning he would "draft" some documents; regardless of how he died, his suicide was "man‑made".

And the best candidate, of course, would be Lord Danzo, the "Guo Xuan Zhi Zi"!

Although in good spirits, Yuzhi still kept a "villainous" demeanor as he continued speaking.

"Even if you drive Kakashi away, so what? The seed has been sown; he'll return sooner or later. Now, let's deal with you."

"You're really confident—no, you're really arrogant."

Qimu Shuo Mao glared at Yuzhi, speaking in a low voice.

"Enough nonsense, go die!"

Yuzhi retorted, shrugged indifferently, and with a slight shift his figure, in an instant he was already in front of Qimu Shuo Mao!

Mid‑sentence, Yuzhi swung his black staff, but at that moment a flash of silver light streaked by, and Kakashi appeared between Yuzhi and Qimu Shuo Mao.

He shut one eye, his crimson Sharingan fixed on Yuzhi, staring intently.

"Oh, you're back?"

Yuzhi blinked, didn't stop, and spoke calmly.

"I've thought it through, but your method is wrong."

Kakashi said nothing, just stared at Yuzhi; after a while he finally whispered.

"You're not Obito!"

"Hmm?"

Yuzhi was momentarily stunned, then his tone grew cold.

"What do you mean?"

"Why did you attack Rin back then?"

Kakashi's tone had become indifferent; his chakra was gathering at full speed, and Yuzhi also noticed his Sharingan emitting a strange energy ripple!

"Why later did you attack Yuzhi, even attack the teacher, and unleash the Nine‑Tails to assault the village?"

Why, tell me why!

"I said I want to create peace, and Leaf Village is the biggest obstacle."

Yuzhi's tone also grew cold as he stared at Kakashi.

"I can't tell you my plan now, but I can assure you that together we will create a peaceful world!"

"Kakashi, you are a reasonable person; I hope you can understand the situation, and don't forget that I saved you, I gave you your eyes!"

"Yes, I haven't forgotten that."

Kakashi whispered, but his gaze had become even more resolute.

"But the Obito who saved me and gave me my eyes is not you!"

He is the Obito who loves Leaf Village, dreams of becoming Hokage, who would risk everything for a friend.

He would sacrifice his life for the village, unlike you who attacks friends as if it's natural, someone who would even attack the village for personal goals!

You are not Obito at all, you are not the Obito in my memory, the one you are now.

At this point, Kakashi's Sharingan had already transformed into a Mangekyou Sharingan, and space began to be tugged at this moment.

"Just a being with his face, with his abilities, yet completely lacking his will, a shell that has lost its soul!

You are not Obito at all; you are merely a demon in hell, and I—

At this point, Kakashi's ocular power burst forth instantly, and a vortex of space suddenly appeared on Yuzhi's body!

"I will be the one to send you back to the pure land, to let you regain yourself!"

——

"You bastard, are you satisfied now?"

In the Land of Fire, in another forest, Yuzhi and Hikari had already restored their original attire.

But Hikari gave Yuzhi a strange look, especially at Yuzhi's smiling face; she could barely contain herself.

How severe is your twisted taste, you bastard?

Kakashi's final outburst, and the words he said, Hikari could hear them all.

Perhaps having spent a long time with Yuzhi, she gradually could distinguish whether others' words were true or false.

Kakashi's outburst was sincere; that kind of eruption can be said to fully stir one's emotions and solidify one's will.

Even because of his choice, his Mangekyou Sharingan showed some changes, and that cannot be faked at all!

But what's the point of you deceiving others?

And, you have deceived so many people; does that mean I have also deceived quite a few?

Hikari's gaze suddenly became a bit suspicious; she can discern others' people, but cannot discern Yuzhi's words.

"Of course I'm satisfied."

Yuzhi nodded; he saw something flash in Hikari's eyes and, subconsciously, spoke.

"I only fooled him, of course, I've never fooled you!"

"Confessing without being forced?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Then why are you in such a hurry, shouting so loudly?"

"If you have the skill, don't shout at night."

"Looking for death!"

Seeing Hikari's flushed face as she swung a punch at him, Yuzhi was too lazy to dodge; he realized that not only Hikari had a 'radar', he might be developing one too?

Whatever Hikari thinks, she seems to oddly sense something, though not precisely, but it's not a big deal.

Thinking of this, Yuzhi stroked his chin, wondering if being together for so long and caring too much caused this result?

But Yuzhi quickly shook his head; whether it's him or not, he thought it wasn't a bad thing.

Given his current path, he will likely become an Ōtsutsuki in the future, and Hikari likewise.

Long years without companionship are sheer torment.

It can't be that one watches people come and go, repeatedly experiencing life and death separations, and in the end only oneself watches the changing world while old friends have passed, right?

"There must be an unlucky fool to accompany me, right?"

Yuzhi smiled, then wrapped his arms around Hikari's waist and said with a laugh.

"Alright, we still have other things to do; once we finish all this, we can return to Leaf Village."

"Tch"

Hikari let out a light hum, then blinked curiously and said.

"You deliberately captured a bandit; is this for an Edo Tensei?"

After confirming Kakashi's condition and escaping Kakashi's Kamui, Yuzhi also pretended to be hysterical and let out some harsh words.

Ensuring that the next meeting would be 'both cheeks and eyes flushed', he then took Hikari to a bandit hideout.

He had already decided to awaken Madara Uchiha to try, so he would naturally do it, and he was also curious about Madara Uchiha's attitude.

"Will he firmly believe what he knows, or will he try to trust what others say?"

Yuzhi stroked his chin; what Madara Uchiha would think and do was indeed intriguing, but those matters would be solved once he summoned him.

Moreover, regarding materials, Yuzhi realized that his plan to go to Nagato to fetch them was somewhat unnecessary.

"Because Senju Clan Heijian, that evil 'Senju Little Devil', actually has it."

Yuzhi truly overlooked that Senju Clan Heijian had originally brought Madara Uchiha's corpse back and had already begun studying it.

However, Madara Uchiha used Izanagi to escape in the end, which gave Yuzhi a fixed line of thought.

After he left, the items taken by Senju Clan Heijian may have vanished.

Actually that thought wasn't wrong, but he underestimated Senju Clan Heijian's shamelessness.

Not only Madara Uchiha's corpse, but many things left on the battlefield were later slowly gathered by him; Madara Uchiha's 'materials' were indeed plentiful!

For a moment, Yuzhi even wondered whether Yaoshi Dou's Edo Tensei of Madara used materials deliberately given by Hei Jue, or if he had stolen Leaf Village's database?

Yuzhi only said he wanted to study Madara Uchiha's condition, and Senju Clan Heijian immediately fetched it, which was practically a favor to Yuzhi.

At least he didn't need a 'three visits to the thatched cottage' to see Nagato's sour face, which wasn't a bad thing for Yuzhi.

"This time I will Edo Tensei a relatively dangerous fellow."

Although his mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, Yuzhi still smiled and nodded at Hikari.

But just after saying that, he noticed something off, and immediately corrected himself with a smile.

"If it were in a complete form, it would be very dangerous; as it stands now, it's probably not as dangerous as imagined."

Glancing at the bandit on the ground, he couldn't say what the summoned Madara would be like when using this fellow as material for Edo Tensei.

And with the precedent set by Qiqi Shuo Mao, he couldn't help pondering a question.

"The one I summon—what era's Madara would it be?"

After all, the Impure World Reincarnation he now holds doesn't summon him in the form he had before death.

He shook his head, Yuzhi released Hikari, casually took out a scroll, opened it to reveal some "materials" inside, and then he began forming seals with both hands.

The next moment.

These "materials" seemed to sense the summoning, and slowly turned into defiled paper within a surge of earth‑and‑heaven linking chakra.

The defiled paper instantly adhered to the thief controlled by illusion, not even allowing him to make a sound, and his body began to change.

A nascent form of Madara Uchiha began to coalesce continuously!

But as the defiled paper kept coalescing, Yuzhi's complexion grew unpleasant, and Hikari's gaze turned somewhat odd.

A moment later, Madara Uchiha's body completed its coalescence, and he immediately opened his eyes, feeling his own power, and his eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.

"So it's not really resurrection—this feeling isn't revival... Impure World Reincarnation?"

Madara Uchiha's complexion turned sour, as if displeased with his method of revival.

"Did the plan encounter a problem? Did that kid Nagato cause an issue?"

Then he lifted his head to look at the two people before him, whose complexions were odd yet possessed the Sharingan; his brow deepened further.

"Who are you, juniors of the Uchiha Clan?"

"Juniors."

Yuzhi's mouth twitched, and Hikari's face was even stranger; she glanced at Madara and then at Yuzhi.

"This guy is the one you want to summon?"

"Hmm."

Yuzhi numbly nodded; his mind was now a bit dazed.

"So this is the dangerous fellow you mentioned?"

"Yes."

"Is it that dangerous?"

"It's highly deceptive, does that count?"

Yuzhi and Hikari, trading remarks, seemed to completely disregard Madara, instantly souring his expression.

The plan's failure had already irritated him to the extreme, and now these two inexplicable Uchiha juniors appeared, speaking such words to him.

Even with his deep scheming, Madara couldn't hide his irritation; who exactly were these two?

What about that kid Obito of the Uchiha?

What's up with this guy, why did his body get taken by someone else, and why was he resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation?

Or is this Obito's plan?

And what about Black Zetsu?

Shouldn't that guy be watching Obito and following the plan throughout? Why didn't he appear?

And Nagato—wasn't he supposed to execute the "Reincarnation of the Cycle of Heaven" technique? How did it become like this?

"Kid, you'd better explain the situation clearly to me."

Madara took a deep breath, his gaze darkening, and at that instant his eyes turned a scarlet hue.

"Although adults shouldn't get angry at children, being too over the line can make one angry, causing a loss of reason."

Hearing Madara's words, especially seeing his Sharingan, Yuzhi truly couldn't hold back.

After a while, he let out a slight sigh, and the next instant his eyes also turned scarlet, with strange, intricate patterns appearing within them.

When Hikari saw Yuzhi do this, she didn't ask, but, like Yuzhi, instantly opened the Eternal Eye.

The powerful aura unique to the Eternal Eye instantly struck Madara Uchiha, causing his mind to short‑circuit.

What is this? These two's eyes are actually Mangekyou Sharingan.

No, they're actually the Eternal Eye?!

"Kid, think before you speak."

Yuzhi, echoing Madara's words, lightly pointed at Madara before continuing.

"Although adults shouldn't get angry at children, being too excessive can make one angry, causing a loss of reason."

Madara was still dazed, but hearing Yuzhi's words his fist suddenly tightened, though now he also noticed a problem.

"Why are these two seemingly young, yet so much taller than me?"

In an instant, Madara seemed to sense something, then lowered his head to examine his own body closely.

At that moment, his complexion suddenly turned extremely sour.

Because he realized it wasn't others who grew taller, but that he had become shorter.
