Is it accurate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Earth Country, Rock Hidden Village, during a high-level meeting, one elder asked while staring at the paper on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The source is unknown. It suddenly appeared in the Tsuchikage building last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, responded... his expression cold as he chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like someone wants to borrow a knife to kill. That probably means the intel is legit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we should...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onoki snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we can get rid of the Fourth Hokage and weaken Konoha, what's the harm in being someone else's blade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And besides...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added, \"We don't need to get our hands dirty. Isn't there a mercenary group that's been pretty active lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean... Akatsuki?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Hire them. Let them move first. We'll send our elites to follow from the shadows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That way, even if it's a trap, our people can pull out safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onoki sat back, looking quite satisfied with his strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsuchikage-sama is wise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, in the Land of Lightning, inside the Raikage's Office, the Fourth Raikage sat on the sofa, glaring at the report in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, he raised his voice and roared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone! Tell Dodai to get here! Right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the Land of Wind, inside the Sand Hidden Village, Fourth Kazekage Rasa was also staring at the same intel in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kazekage-sama, should we—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rasa used chakra to disintegrate the document and replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, in the Land of Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A team of Kirigakure shinobi disguised themselves and boarded a merchant ship bound for the Land of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, deep within a forest in Fire Country, several corpses lay cold and lifeless on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're telling me the Third Tsuchikage actually hired Akatsuki to hit Konoha?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito listened to White Zetsu's report, eyes twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good god. Nagato had wanted to use Iwagakure as a pawn to kill the Fourth Hokage only for old man Onoki to turn it around and use Akatsuki as his pawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That's some next-level mind games and coincidence.' Obito sighed internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's this called again? Oh right. The knife... is actually me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nagato refused,\" said Zetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course he did. Killing a Kage, whether it succeeds or not, would definitely draw attention from every major power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akatsuki is still in its dormant stage. It's not time to go public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito spoke while casually plucking a white eyeball from a corpse's right socket and slipping it into a small bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, go check out which groups are planning to crash Konoha's little party.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once White Zetsu left, Obito tucked the bottle away and glanced down at the corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like I need to train some exclusive tool-people. Doing all this myself is way too much work for a big boss like me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grumbling, he tossed the bodies into the Devouring Coffin, then used Kamui and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed. A few more days rolled by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>October 10. Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was autumn, Konoha's climate made the village feel as warm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Obito disguised himself as an ordinary Konoha shinobi, standing on a rooftop and casually observing the ninja school across the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the school's playground, a class of students was practicing Taijutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, a purple-haired little loli about ten years old knocked her opponent down in just a few moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a familiar face among the students, Obito raised an eyebrow and asked the White Zetsu beside him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, which big shots came here to smoke... I mean, to kill Minato?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iwagakure brought the Five-Tails Jinchūriki.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cloud Village's AB Brothers came personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both teams infiltrated the Fire Country with caravans. They arrived last night and are currently laying low near Konoha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sand Village didn't send anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito was genuinely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, that's hilarious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't think a truce means no one's stirring the pot behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha had dominated all three Great Ninja Wars. If there's even a small chance to mess with them, some villages will always jump at it and even make it worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Obito wasn't shocked that two of them were trying something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But bringing both their Jinchūrikis?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much do they hate Minato?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like the day the so-called child of prophecy is born... it's gonna be fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, if both villages sent Jinchūrikis, there's no way they didn't coordinate. Obito wasn't buying the \"coincidence\" angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still... if he remembered right, the Fourth Raikage's father was killed by Iwagakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, here they were working together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess that Raikage guy was all about business. No grudge-holding... only goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, after leaving another bouquet of white roses at the cemetery, Obito wandered the streets of Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While passing a training ground, something caught his eye and made him stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, under the orange glow of sunset, the same purple-haired loli stood alone, sword in hand, swinging with full concentration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't just wave a sword like that, little girl~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, she spun around with her weapon, only to see a completely average-looking middle-aged man standing nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just a nice guy passing through?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stayed silent, staring at the man's clearly-unbelievable line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, don't worry about the details.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito shrugged, then continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swordplay is a killing art. For people with great strength and speed, all you need is precision. One clean hit... that's all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But for someone at your level... those wide, flashy swings just won't cut it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Author Note:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, the goal wasn't reached this time… we fell short by 80 Stones.\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>",1027,"2026-06-05T20:19:16.842Z",1,"novelbin.me","49ffb1f34b3e10895c5cb1429cfc1f63aad27cf7179e52cafbfbf58d90051a49","naruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-chapter-24","naruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-chapter-22",238,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-cover.jpg"]
