Whoosh.
"Damn it!"
In a forest outside Konoha, Obito's figure suddenly appeared.
But the moment he appeared; he fiercely punched a nearby tree.
Leaves scattered, just like the chaotic state of his mind. This time, he was actually defeated by a brat, and so thoroughly.
That brat was simply a lunatic, acting so wildly yet still being so logical.
It was just that this logic didn't align with the mindset a Konoha ninja should have, which was deadly for Obito.
"Don't be angry. People from Root are just like that."
Just as Obito was about to explode with rage, a pitcher plant emerged from the ground beside him, and Black Zetsu, with half a face, shook his head as he looked at Obito.
He had long felt that Obito's plan was unreliable, but he couldn't change Obito's mind, and besides, there was no point in saying these things now.
"As far as I know, Shimura Danzo has deep malice towards the Uchiha, so it's not surprising that the people he trains are like this."
"Danzo..."
Obito had heard that name before and knew that this guy was some Hokage Assistant, but it was mostly just on paper.
"He is one of Second Hokage's disciple, and that Second Hokage was always cautious and wary of the Uchiha."
Black Zetsu knew what Obito was thinking and answered him directly without Obito even having to ask.
"He can be said to have perfectly inherited his late sensei's will, and even gone a step further."
"A rat-like fellow."
Obito snorted coldly, his eyes filled with gloom.
He was now not only angry at Hidezawa but had also completely come to hate Danzo.
It was Danzo, that old lunatic, who had taught Shigen Hidezawa, this little lunatic, which led to the collapse of his plan and caused him to be schooled by the Flying Thunder God again.
He had firmly remembered this grudge!
"Forget it, there will always be a chance later."
Shaking his head, Obito didn't want to think about it anymore, but there was still one question that he couldn't let go of.
"But that kid actually guessed my identity, which is truly baffling… and a bit troublesome."
"They don't have any evidence, but anyways, you really should be more low-key."
Black Zetsu nodded from the side. That kid's reaction and deducing speed was indeed astonishing.
"But currently, what needs to be solved most is the problem with you. That Flying Thunder God Technique Mark must be dealt with."
"Indeed."
Obito also nodded. After Namikaze Minato's death, no one could use the Flying Thunder God, so he hadn't taken it seriously.
Furthermore, not understanding the Flying Thunder God, he wasn't aware that these marks could be sustained this long and even used by others.
Since he had been messed with this time, he had to figure out a way, otherwise, every time he encountered Hidezawa, he would be at a disadvantage.
That was not what he wanted.
At the thought of this, Obito was annoyed again. Hidezawa was Danzo's man, so he almost subconsciously assumed that Danzo had given him the Flying Thunder God.
Combined with everything that happened today, Danzo was now thoroughly on Obito's hit list.
"You really deserve to die, Shimura Danzo!"
…
"What's going on? Why do I feel a bit uneasy?"
In the Hokage Office in Konoha, Danzo suddenly felt a bit unwell. He frowned and glanced around.
However, upon seeing the Uchiha members in the office, he suddenly felt it was only natural.
Although night had fallen, the Hokage Office was still brightly lit. If such a major incident wasn't handled carefully and promptly, it would only lead to greater consequences.
'Hmph, evil Uchiha, why didn't that kid die...'
Danzo snorted coldly in his heart, while Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him gently rubbed his temples.
Such a thing happened late at night; someone attacked within the village, and the person attacked was Uchiha Itachi?
If this wasn't handled well, wouldn't those Uchiha go crazy?
There was a moment when he saw Hidezawa and Itachi together that he even suspected Hidezawa had done it.
However, he remained very calm. After everyone who needed to be there had arrived, he specifically kept Kakashi and the others who had arrived first before speaking.
"Alright, everyone's here. Let's hear it." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed helplessly. He glanced at Hidezawa, then his gaze settled on Itachi.
"Itachi, you were the victim. Tell us exactly what happened first."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Although Itachi was in a sorry state, after some simple treatment, he was temporarily fine. He lowered his head, maintaining a respectful posture, and slowly began to speak.
"Tonight, I planned to depart early for my mission, but unexpectedly, I was attacked halfway. The assailant used a spatial ninjutsu.
I didn't even see the person, only a kunai, before I was knocked unconscious. For a moment, I suspected it was Hidezawa-senpai."
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but frown. The Uchiha members who had come couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
However, Uchiha Fugaku remained silent, his brows furrowed, which kept them from making too much noise.
Hiruzen glanced at Danzo. He subconsciously wondered if it was Danzo's order, but he quickly shook his head.
Hidezawa was very clever; even if he did it, he could definitely do it without a trace, especially since he had the Flying Thunder God Technique.
But now, another problem arose: did anyone else master a technique like Flying Thunder God?
"However, it turned out not to be Hidezawa-senpai, but someone else."
The more Hiruzen didn't want to hear something, the more he had to. Itachi seemed to hesitate, but in the end, he continued.
"Hidezawa-senpai woke me up while I was unconscious and then fought with that mysterious person. I also quietly listened at that time.
That person wields a bizarre space-time ninjutsu, and according to Hidezawa-senpai's judgment, that person might be an Uchiha."
"What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
At this, everyone present couldn't hold back.
Especially the Uchiha clan members, whose faces changed drastically. Fugaku also looked at Itachi in disbelief, but soon his gaze turned to Hidezawa.
'Space-time Ninjutsu...'
'Uchiha...'
'Could it be?'
Danzo also stood up at this moment, his gloomy gaze sweeping over the Uchiha members present. That chilling aura was enough to send shivers down one's spine.
As for the others, they couldn't help but whisper. Only Nara Shikaku pulled Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza beside him.
They collectively maintained silence; this was not something they could participate in.
"Quiet, everyone."
Hiruzen's expression also became serious at this moment. He looked at Itachi intently and asked.
"Are you sure about what you're saying?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Itachi, of course, knew what consequences his statement would bring, but he had no intention of changing his words.
"Very well."
Hiruzen turned his head and looked at Hidezawa. He thought for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"Hidezawa, is what Itachi said the truth?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama, he's right."
Hidezawa who was listening for a long time and found it was his turn. He nodded directly and spoke.
"And I also have my suspicions about that guy's identity."
"Hmm?"
Hiruzen was stunned for a moment. He asked about the situation, but why was he talking about identity?
'Could it be that he wants to say it was Shisui?'
However, after thinking about it, he still followed Hidezawa's lead and asked.
"Share your thoughts."
"I suspect…"
Hidezawa nodded, speaking with utmost seriousness.
"That guy might be Uchiha Obito."
Itachi didn't react to his words because he had already woken up by then and naturally heard Hidezawa say these things.
But the others, for a moment, they fell silent. Obito was truly a famous yet nameless guy.
But Kakashi, who had been behind, truly couldn't keep his composure at this moment. He suddenly took a step forward and said in disbelief.
"How is that possible?!"
