Let it be the reward for this commission,\" said the Fourth Mizukage as he emerged from the shadows, voice flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, they must leave the Mist Hidden Village as traitors. Leave the Land of Water, and never return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terumi Jun looked at the Fourth Mizukage, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then relief. A flicker of joy flashed in his eyes. A spark of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I have to thank you, Mizukage-sama, for your generosity.\" Obito put on his best fake gratitude face and bowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, turning back to the girl still pinned before him, he continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? The things I promised aren't that hard to deliver... now what's your choice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terumi Mei's gaze dimmed, her eyes slightly red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in her life, she was being forced like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, completely and utterly crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the first time… powerless. No hope in sight. No strength to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pride, trampled under the boot of the masked man in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... promise you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice came slowly, blank, as if that one line drained all her remaining strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wise choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well… after all, better to live than to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't matter how many dreams you have for the future, how big your ambitions are, how many people are waiting on you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you're dead, none of it means shit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito bent down and pinched her chin with one hand, tilting her face up to meet his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want you to remember...don't even think about suicide. Don't try to die on purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're my tool now. That means your life belongs to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you die without my permission... well, then your dear father and your whole clan? They'll be buried with you. I promise you that much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you understand?\" Obito asked lightly, his Sharingan burning into her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl looked up, trembling. That blood-red glow under the moonlight made her insides freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\" Obito smiled, releasing her chin and straightening his back before turning to Terumi Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... got any objections?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence for a beat. Then Terumi Jun exhaled deeply and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito watched as he bowed his head and bent over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him so understanding, Obito gave a satisfied nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to glance at the Fourth Mizukage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph... my Talk No Jutsu's getting close to Naruto-level, he thought, pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then Mizukage, I'll leave the rest to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Terumi clan must leave the main island of the Land of Water within a day. After that, out of the country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I return to the village, I'll suppress the pursuit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth Mizukage simply nodded, turning to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Terumi clan had to go. That was unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the character Obito had written for the Fourth Mizukage, ruthlessness was non-negotiable. Anyone who resisted him was erased without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if an entire ninja clan openly rebelled yet got to stick around untouched? That'd be way too suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, by now the Mist Village had probably caught wind that something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this through, Obito released the seal on Terumi, letting her move freely again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, head back immediately. Take your people and sail to the South Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll arrange your next stop from there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(The South Island was where Base 2 was located—yes, he made up that name.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The father and daughter nodded without choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Obito gave them one last look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don't even think about running.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are very few places in this world that I can't find, just so we're clear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, the space around him started to warp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\" Terumi Mei called out suddenly, just as Obito was about to vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me… your name!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Uchiha... Madara.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, his figure completely disappeared leaving only that single name echoing through the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madara Uchiha?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both father and daughter stared wide-eyed at the empty spot he'd just vanished from, disbelief frozen on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Obito reappeared on the original battlefield and returned to Base 2 with Yugao, who was still waiting, and the scroll packed with corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now came the logistics: where would the Terumi clan go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Land of Grass?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm… no good. Not under his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one base there, and you couldn't expect a whole clan kids, elderly, civilians to live in a goddamn cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, the Land of Grass was too high-profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden influx of an entire ninja clan? People would notice. Too risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Land of Rain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hell no. That was Akatsuki HQ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn't even fully his yet...Nagato was still in control. Until Obito replaced or killed him and fully took over, that wasn't an option either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess he needed a new base. One fully under his thumb, where the Terumi clan could be locked down safely, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because he gave a damn about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it was all about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, Terumi Mei was the only one who mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the Terumi clan...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't just her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the shackles that bound Terumi Mei... the perfect tools to control her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike that cold bastard Uchiha Itachi, Terumi Mei couldn't just turn her back on her clan and slaughter them for some greater cause. That was her weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as long as the Terumi clan remained under Obito's control, so did she.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn't have the guts to go against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd obey. And he could do whatever the fuck he wanted with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Obito leaned back in his study, thinking quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zetsu,\" he called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white Zetsu popped out from the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, Obito! Wassup?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zetsu was clearly learning a little too much from Obito lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got any recent intel on the Land of Snow?\" Obito asked calmly.\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>",1025,"2026-06-05T20:19:17.122Z",1,"novelbin.me","db7a0732914d6edffa0f7e4f38c47152e586752cc7d44db1aa8fc69218c38426","naruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-chapter-53","naruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-chapter-147",238,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-cover.jpg"]
