The shinobi path is divided into two, technique and heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In terms of skill, Uchiha Shisui is indeed outstanding. He deserves to be called a prodigy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But when it comes to heart...his vision, his ideology, his grasp of the bigger picture, he's a fool. A big fool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Of course you're trash too, Obito sneered inwardly.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi's brows furrowed, clear displeasure written across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that expression, Obito didn't press further. Instead, he waved the matter off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well… anyway, today I only came to check on your growth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that you know who I am, you should also understand the hatred I carry, for the Uchiha clan, and for Konoha itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito's tone lowered, heavy with meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the exception though, Itachi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked beneath the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I look forward to our next meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As though performing a stage play, he finished his lines perfectly. Then the space before Itachi distorted, swallowing Obito's figure until he vanished into the forest, leaving only silence in his wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Revenge on the Uchiha… and on Konoha…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi stared at the spot where Obito had vanished, his brows knitting tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Obito had already slipped away. His form shifted, transforming back into that of an ordinary Konoha shinobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, he went to place flowers at Rin's memorial, his face hidden under the guise of a loyal villager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he strolled casually through Konoha, quietly observing. From a distance, he watched Kushina and her young son Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze lingered, but he made no move to approach her. He had no intention of meeting Kushina, not now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing by the Hyūga compound, Obito noticed Hyūga Hiashi walking with a striking woman who had just returned home. She leaned against him gently, and Obito's eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… Hinata's mother is pregnant again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips tugged upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the one in her belly should be… Hanabi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't dwell on it further. After one last circuit around the village, Obito disappeared from Konoha once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flowed swiftly. Days blurred into nights, and before long, more than a year had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that time, the railways and trains spearheaded by the Land of Snow, alongside the Lands of Earth and Water, had been completed and put into operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within two and a half years, their railway network sprawled across their territories, accelerating trade and prosperity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Fire Country remained behind...its project was still under construction, requiring more time to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Konoha itself, tension between the Uchiha clan and the village only grew sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a year ago, Uchiha Itachi had joined the Anbu, serving as a silent double agent caught between two sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere in the shinobi world, Orochimaru began delving into secrets surrounding the Akatsuki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away, in the snowy training grounds of the Land of Snow, Obito faced four small figures in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kimimaro, mind your teammates' positioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haku, strike harder. Don't worry about me, you can't hurt me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Hinata… your Gentle Fist still lacks precision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karin, provide support faster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash ended soon after, Obito effortlessly tossing the four of them aside with practiced ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that's enough. Take a break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Madara-sama!\" the children chorused, running to rest with flushed faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito turned, finding White Zetsu leaning casually nearby, watching him train the young ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Obito asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Zetsu's grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uchiha Shisui just repelled a squad from Kirigakure. He's on his way back to Konoha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito's step faltered slightly at the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, the Mist had sent several teams to stir trouble within the Land of Fire, and Shisui had been tasked with eliminating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By Obito's calculations… yes. The timing was just about right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes glimmered faintly, a trace of expectation flashing across it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it. You can go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" White Zetsu saluted and sank into the ground and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito returned to the training ground. By evening, after the day's sparring ended, he dismissed the others but stopped one child before she left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hinata.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl froze, clutching her hands nervously in front of her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madara… Madara-sama…\" she whispered, head bowed, voice timid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hinata, do you miss your family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I…\" Hinata blinked, stunned by the sudden question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...yes!\" Startled, she lowered her gaze further, voice small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes… a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to go back and see them?\" Obito asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… no, I…\" Hinata's head dipped lower, as though afraid even to answer. She dared not meet his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your mother gave birth to another daughter nine months ago.\" Obito's voice was flat, almost indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, you now have a sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata's eyes widened. Her head snapped up, staring at him in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want,\" Obito said, lips curling faintly beneath the mask, \"I can take you to see her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spark of longing in Hinata's eyes was immediate, undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm! I… I want to!\" she admitted, her timid voice quivering with hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But,\" Obito added with a smile once more, \"you can only watch quietly. After that, you must return here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hinata nodded, her excitement tempered by obedience, yet her small face couldn't hide the faint light shining in her pale eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, in Konoha Village\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the edge of a cliff where a great waterfall thundered down into the river below, two figures stood side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're back, Shisui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. I finally drove off the Mist's shinobi,\" Uchiha Shisui replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Uchiha Itachi gazed at the river before them. It was the same place they had once played together as children, now filled with the weight of far heavier thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to hear your thoughts, Itachi,\" Shisui said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…About what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui turned, his expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How serious do you think Lord Fugaku is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Serious about what?\" Itachi asked, though the answer was already beginning to form in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About a coup d'état.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui's gaze darkened as he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Uchiha's dissatisfaction with the village grows day by day. If things continue as they are, I fear the clan's patience will soon reach its breaking point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi's voice was calm, steady, but cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as the village doesn't change, neither will the Uchiha. And if the Uchiha won't change, then the village has no reason to either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The distrust between both sides will only continue to deepen, until there's no return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui sighed, turning back toward the crashing waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I want to dispel that distrust. If the Uchiha launch a coup, it will only lead both sides to ruin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also oppose a coup,\" Itachi admitted. \"But… to prevent it, we may be forced to take measures outside the norm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui looked at him directly, his tone grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you mustn't act rashly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Itachi asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui's eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because not everyone in the Police Force trusts you. In fact… some of them have ordered me to keep an eye on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi's eyes widened slightly in surprise, though his face remained composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So leave this to me. With my dōjutsu… with Kotoamatsukami, I can guide them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them stood in silence as the sun sank low, its golden light bleeding into the river below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a time, they both departed, their silhouettes vanishing from the cliff's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the air shimmered and Obito stepped out from the distortion of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood where Shisui and Itachi had just been, the roar of the waterfall filling his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring down at the rushing river, the corner of his mouth curled into a sly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. Now this is getting interesting… Looks like harvest season has come again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Sharingan gleamed beneath the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uchiha Shisui… let's see if your eyes can grant me the true Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--------------------------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Support me at patreon.com\u002FArthorain and read upto 50 Advanced Chapters and Exclusive R-18 Content!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--------------------------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Update schedule: 7 chapters\u002Fweek\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every 300 power stones = 1 Extra Chapter\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By voting with [power stones], you can easily get double the number of chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>",1471,"2026-06-05T20:19:17.122Z",1,"novelbin.me","74bffc0688d48722f173e74c490993135bb193b0ddca444cbea5feae38f915d5","naruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-chapter-123","naruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-chapter-121",238,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-cover.jpg"]
