Chapter 77: Uchiha Obito: I Feel Like Someone Is Watching Me!
"Lady Tsunade, Byakuya!"
Shizune was overjoyed when she saw Tsunade and Byakuya walk out.
Because this meant the two of them had likely reached an agreement.
It was hard to imagine that Lady Tsunade had previously held the attitude of rather dying than becoming Hokage.
But after a conversation with Byakuya, she directly changed her mind.
"Shizune, pack our things, we're returning to Konoha!"
As soon as Tsunade came out, she said to Shizune.
"Understood, Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune knew they didn't really have much to pack.
Apart from the pig Tonton, Shizune couldn't find a second thing on them.
Meanwhile, Karin was still looking around nervously.
"Since Orochimaru is being taken back to Konoha, it shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?"
Before Karin could finish her thought, she was interrupted by Byakuya.
"Karin, you're coming back with us too!"
Byakuya didn't give Karin a choice.
He directly and decisively decided to take Karin along.
"Huh, me??"
Karin pointed at herself in disbelief for a moment.
She didn't expect Byakuya not only to recognize her but also to intend to take her back.
"But, but..."
Karin still wanted to say something.
But inadvertently, she saw Byakuya's looks-obsessed attribute starting to take effect again.
"Okay, okay!"
Karin didn't know why she suddenly agreed to Byakuya's request.
Perhaps she was really attracted by Byakuya's handsomeness.
A few days later.
The moment Tsunade accompanied Byakuya appeared in Konoha Village.
The entire Konoha was in an uproar.
"Isn't that Lord Byakuya and Princess Tsunade?"
"Did Lord Byakuya invite Princess Tsunade back?"
"It must be. After all, Lord Byakuya also carries the bloodline of the Senju Clan."
Everyone discussed animatedly.
The impact when Tsunade left Konoha was unprecedented.
But everyone thought Lady Tsunade might never return.
Yet no one expected Byakuya to be able to bring Tsunade back.
"But doesn't Konoha already have Lord Byakuya as Hokage?"
This question made people think.
Indeed, under Byakuya's leadership, Konoha was truly thriving.
Byakuya was not just a little better than Hiruzen Sarutobi.
This was something all the villagers of Konoha acknowledged.
Because Byakuya wouldn't tolerate someone like Danzo causing trouble in Konoha.
Byakuya also wouldn't lead them to humiliating peace negotiations with other villages.
Plus, Byakuya was so young, sunny, handsome, and powerful.
Most people in Konoha still hoped Byakuya would continue as Hokage.
"Ahem!"
Where is the body you said is most suitable for me now?
Orochimaru revealed his pale face beneath the black robe.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Byakuya.
But he felt he really didn't have much time left.
So Orochimaru had to hurry and find the next body most suitable for him.
"Don't worry about that."
"If I say you won't die, then you won't die!"
Facing Orochimaru's urgency, Byakuya just said calmly.
Since he said he had a way, he would definitely help Orochimaru solve his body problem.
"How nostalgic, everything in Konoha!"
Tsunade looked around at all the sights with emotion.
It seemed exactly the same as when she left years ago, with no changes.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I drank in Konoha. Today, I must drink to my heart's content!"
Sure enough, after returning to Konoha.
Tsunade's true nature was completely exposed.
"But, but, Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune still wanted to say something.
But Tsunade just waved her hand.
"If I become Hokage, I'll probably have even less time to enjoy myself."
"Might as well take this chance to relax in advance!"
Shizune really couldn't find a way to refute Tsunade's words.
Byakuya just watched from the side and did not intervene.
After all, bringing Tsunade back to Konoha meant his mission was already half-completed.
There was no need to restrict Tsunade like this anymore.
"Orochimaru, can you perform that Living Corpse Reincarnation now?"
Byakuya glanced faintly at Orochimaru.
If possible, he wanted to settle Orochimaru's matter today.
Tomorrow, he could just toss him to Sasuke.
Let them figure things out on their own.
"Oh!"
Orochimaru was somewhat surprised, not expecting Byakuya to already be able to help him find a body without side effects.
This directly piqued Orochimaru's curiosity.
"I need an assistant to help me with the detection!"
Orochimaru thought for a moment before replying.
He genuinely needed an assistant to help him.
And the Kimimaru and Karin beside him clearly didn't seem capable of being his assistants.
"That's simple."
"Bring Kabuto here."
As the Hokage, Byakuya merely mentioned it, and the Anbu immediately took action.
Their efficiency was astonishingly high.
Not long after, Kabuto was brought over.
"Lord Byakuya!"
"Lord Orochimaru!"
When Kabuto saw Orochimaru, he was a bit bewildered.
How had Lord Orochimaru been captured by Byakuya again?
Honestly, he had lost count of how many times Lord Orochimaru had been captured.
"Long time no see, Kabuto!"
Orochimaru looked at this most suitable assistant with satisfaction.
After pledging allegiance to Byakuya, he would probably need to transfer Kabuto over to assist him.
"No need to be surprised. As you can see, I've also pledged allegiance to Byakuya!"
Orochimaru seemed to have seen through Kabuto's confusion.
He explained it to him.
"What!!"
Kabuto couldn't immediately process what had happened.
Would someone like Lord Orochimaru actually admit defeat?
"No need to be so shocked!"
Orochimaru was genuinely beaten into submission, beaten into fear.
Moreover, with his current soul strength, if he died again, he might really perish.
"So, where should we go now?"
Karin looked on with curiosity.
This could be considered her second time in Konoha.
What Karin was thinking about now was finishing things quickly.
Then going shopping.
Shopping like crazy!
Karin had long envied the incredibly prosperous Konoha.
Back at the Southern Base, that place was remote as hell.
Even if Karin had money, she couldn't buy much.
"Next, we're going to the Uchiha Clan's compound!"
"Sasuke is there right now!"
Byakuya simply stated flatly.
"Could it be!"
Orochimaru himself was stunned.
He truly hadn't expected that the most suitable body Byakuya mentioned for him was actually Sasuke.
"You're overthinking it!"
Byakuya snorted coldly.
Orochimaru really had no fear of death.
Even if he handed Sasuke over to Orochimaru, would he really dare to devour Sasuke's body?
"You'll know when we get there."
Byakuya didn't offer further explanation.
Instead, he led Orochimaru and the others toward the Uchiha Clan's compound.
At this time, Uchiha Sasuke was still training.
Byakuya had thought Sasuke would heed his previous warning.
But to Byakuya's surprise, Sasuke had started to go even harder.
Uchiha Sasuke was actually practicing Fire Release in the training ground!
Was his previous reminder not clear enough?
"Ahem, Sasuke!"
Byakuya coughed twice.
Sasuke instantly turned around and noticed Byakuya.
"Since when!"
Sasuke was inwardly shocked.
Byakuya had appeared here with so many people, and he hadn't sensed it at all.
"You're practicing Fire Release Ninjutsu?"
Byakuya frowned as he looked at Sasuke.
It seemed Sasuke had misunderstood his meaning.
"Didn't you say last time that I should focus on the core of the Uchiha Clan!!"
Sasuke explained.
After returning last time, Sasuke had carefully researched for three days.
Finally, Sasuke "understood" Byakuya's meaning.
Byakuya probably wanted him to concentrate on the Uchiha Clan's Fire Release.
And not be distracted by Lightning Release!
---Seeking Flowers--- So, after that period, Sasuke began practicing Fire Release frantically.
By now, Sasuke was confident that few could match his mastery of the Great Fireball Technique.
"Hah!"
Byakuya sighed lightly.
Indeed, he really couldn't teach Sasuke.
His reminder back then was meant for Sasuke to focus his heart on the Sharingan.
Instead, Sasuke seemed to have gotten his priorities reversed.
Spending all day researching that Fire Release Ninjutsu.
Speaking of which, has the Great Fireball ever actually killed anyone?
Byakuya was skeptical about that!
"Wait, Orochimaru!!"
It was only then that Sasuke recognized the black-robed man beside Byakuya.
This was the Orochimaru who had placed a curse mark on him in the Forest of Death.
"Don't be afraid. He will be your teacher in the future."
"You can get to know him in advance!"
Byakuya said to Sasuke.
Sasuke really should thank Byakuya properly.
In the entire Ninja World, no one was more suitable to be Sasuke's teacher than Orochimaru.
"By the way, what brings you all here today..."
Sasuke looked at Byakuya and the others curiously.
It had been a long time since anyone had come to the Uchiha Clan's compound.
Only Sasuke lived on these two nearby streets.
"Of course, to catch a certain thing!"
The next second, Byakuya's figure vanished...0
Crack.
The trees near Sasuke's training ground were directly snapped.
A white, human-shaped object appeared in Byakuya's hand.
"What is this thing?"
Sasuke was completely baffled.
He had trained at this training ground for so long.
But he had no idea what this thing was.
"This is?"
Even Orochimaru was drawn over.
"I didn't sense it at all!"
Karin's eyes widened.
She had initially thought it was just an ordinary tree.
But who would have thought it was this thing!
"Even Karin couldn't sense it. This thing is quite mysterious!"
Orochimaru was aware of Karin's abilities.
Nothing can escape Karin's sensory abilities.
Except, of course, for Byakuya.
But that was because Byakuya's strength was too great; he could block Karin's perception at any time.
But what on earth was this thing?
Orochimaru even began to study it right then and there in public.
"This thing is somewhat similar to Zetsu from the Akatsuki Organization!"
Orochimaru had seen Zetsu before, so he quickly recognized this creature.
"What is the function of this thing?"
Because Byakuya had acted too quickly, this White Zetsu had been strangled to death directly.
Therefore, Orochimaru had yet to figure out what its purpose was.
"It's simple, this thing is used for surveillance!"
Byakuya saw through it at a glance; this was Uchiha Obito's handiwork.
He had already discovered these things when his sensory range covered the entire Konoha.
It was just that at the time, he didn't have much interest in them.
After all, he didn't use Edo Tensei much himself.
So he had allowed these White Zetsu to continue their masquerade.
However, that didn't mean Byakuya was unaware of their existence.
It could be said that in the entire Konoha, almost all the locations of the White Zetsu had been marked by Byakuya.
The one he brought Orochimaru to find today was just one of them.
"You can see if this can serve as a body for your Living Corpse Reincarnation!"
Byakuya's single sentence immediately made Orochimaru's eyes burn with intensity.
"Could it be that this thing is what you told me about..."
Orochimaru's expression became completely excited.
He then immediately began conducting experiments on the spot with Kabuto.
Even without instruments, they reached a conclusion based on their combined experience.
"How can this thing be so compatible!"
Orochimaru was stunned.
The physiological characteristics of White Zetsu allow them to rapidly self-regenerate and adapt to various environments.
This ability gives them strong survivability in combat.
And this was just a brief experiment, yet they had already discovered so many advantages.
If deeper experiments were conducted, Orochimaru couldn't imagine what would happen.
