Itachi frowned. The stronger Uchiha Ryou became, the more difficult it was for the Uchiha.
Madara was a matter of the previous generation, one of Konoha's founders, and the Uchiha Clan couldn't control his life.
But Ryou was a Ninja of the Uchiha Clan, and his actions would implicate the entire Uchiha Clan.
If Konoha had collective punishment, and the Hokage was like an emperor, then for Ryou resurrecting Madara, the Uchiha Clan would have been wiped out.
"Speaking of which, this trip wasn't without its gains. At least Obito was rescued."
Mikoto and Itachi were startled: "Obito?"
Obito was an Uchiha clansman who had been confirmed dead by the Anbu. A while ago, the Uchiha were in an uproar because Obito had unilaterally transplanted his Sharingan to Kakashi.
Fugaku, seeing Minato's distinguished military service and high probability of becoming the Fourth Hokage, overruled all objections and did not reclaim Kakashi's Sharingan.
If it weren't for Minato, Kakashi, even as the Son of the White Fang, would have had to return the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai.
Unexpectedly, Mikoto and Itachi heard today that Obito was still alive.
Speaking of Obito, Minato hadn't gotten any news about Madara from him since rescuing him. He had long been curious about what secrets Madara was hiding.
"Kushina, where's Obito?"
Kushina said, "Obito is currently being examined by Yakushi Nonō! Kakashi and Rin are with him."
"Obito has been clamoring to personally interrogate that guy named Tobi, but Tobi was sent to the Torture and Interrogation Unit for torture. I wonder what kind of torture Madara's people inflicted on Obito?"
Minato got up from the hospital bed: "Let's go, let's go see Obito! Let's hear what important information he has about Uchiha Madara!"
Kushina was a little worried about Minato's injuries.
Minato stretched his body and comforted Kushina, saying, "Kushina, don't worry. Thanks to the Senju Clan's Medical Ninja, I've almost fully recovered."
Only then did Kushina relax.
The group went together to visit Obito, who was not far from Minato's ward.
Upon entering, there were quite a few people, all Obito's peers.
They heard that Obito was brought back to life and had all come to see him.
Asuma, Kurenai, Shizune, Ebisu, Guy, Genma, and Gekkō Hayate.
Although Gekkō Hayate was young, he was also in the same class as Obito.
If Hayate was there, then his two companions, Yūgao and Anko, were naturally there too.
Obito's ward was noisy, and everyone was very happy that Obito was still alive.
Yakushi Nonō was examining Obito's body. Obito was now yellow on the left, white on the right, and his right face was full of scars.
At first glance, he was ugly. On closer inspection, he was even uglier!
Because Rin didn't show any disdain for Obito's current appearance, Obito wasn't self-conscious.
He even had the leisure to boast about his bravery.
"I'm telling you, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Ryou, those two big bad guys, wanted to drag me down with them."
"But who am I, Obito? I am a firm inheritor of the Will of Fire, an elite who will become Hokage in the future, and I will absolutely not associate with those two evil Uchiha!"
"No matter what torture they used, I, Obito, didn't even flinch."
Ebisu adjusted his glasses and sneered, "Oh, come on, Obito. I think they just didn't take you seriously."
Obito immediately became angry, activated his Sharingan, revealing three tomoe.
"See this? What is this? The three tomoe Sharingan, a Sharingan that only Jonin of the Uchiha possess."
Those who had been controlled by the Sharingan immediately turned away, not daring to meet its gaze.
Kurenai turned the fastest, followed by Anko and Asuma.
Guy, being a hothead, kept staring at the Sharingan: "So this the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan? What an ominous pair of eyes."
Genma looked at him with new respect: "Obito, not bad. You actually have the Uchiha Clan's Jonin Sharingan. You're an elite of the Uchiha Clan now."
Obito laughed proudly.
Ebisu said, "Obito, the Sharingan can cast genjutsu without hand signs and can hypnotize people. Can you try to hypnotize Guy?"
Obito suddenly stopped laughing because he had never trained his Sharingan. The only development his Sharingan had undergone was an excellent observational ability.
Firstly, Obito's three tomoe awakened too quickly. Although it wasn't like Ryou's instantaneous awakening by Madara, Obito's Sharingan awakened this year.
It had been less than half a year since it evolved from ordinary eyes to three tomoe.
It upgraded too fast, without gaining experience.
Secondly, no one taught him. Obito disdained the power of Ryou and Madara and refused to humble himself to ask for guidance, so even though he had the three tomoe Sharingan, he probably wasn't as proficient with it as Kakashi.
Obito's hesitation made everyone a bit confused, and Guy was also eager to try.
"Obito, quickly let me witness the power of the Sharingan."
"Okay!"
Obito braced himself and tried to hypnotize Guy: "You are a bitch, you are a bitch..."
Everyone looked at Guy's reaction, completely bewildered, and immediately knew how weak Obito's Sharingan was.
Ebisu patted Guy's shoulder: "Why are you still standing there stunned? Go buy Obito some melon seeds!"
Rin cared for Obito: "Obito, the Sharingan consumes a lot of Chakra. You shouldn't activate it anymore."
Obito smiled at Rin: "Don't worry, Rin, I don't lack Chakra anymore."
Anko touched Obito's right half of his body: "Speaking of which, what did you transplant into this half of your body? Why is it so white?"
Obito said, "These are White Zetsu cells. That old monster Uchiha Madara said they are a derivative of the First Hokage's cells."
"What, the First Hokage's cells?!"
Everyone was shocked and collectively stared at Obito's right half of his body.
Yakushi Nonō was also startled and quickly collected the White Zetsu cells from Obito's right half of his body.
These young people, have they even taken intelligence classes? Don't they know that important information shouldn't be casually revealed?
Kurenai added, "When Obito was controlled by Tobi before, he used Wood Release, and Kakashi was almost killed by him."
Everyone looked at Kakashi, who was the top student of their class who was the first to be promoted to Jonin.
Kakashi adjusted his forehead protector and nodded: "Obito can use wood attacks, and his wood can also absorb Chakra. This is indeed Wood Release."
"What, Wood Release?!"
Kushina, holding Minato's hand, rushed in. The group of young Chunin immediately stood at attention when they saw Minato.
"Minato-sensei!"
Minato nodded to everyone, then, with Kushina, examined Obito's white body tissue on his right side.
Minato stroked his chin and said, "These are derivative cells of the First Hokage?"
Obito nodded: "Ryou's construction is correct in saying that these White Zetsu cells are more adaptable for human transplantation than the First Hokage-sama's cells."
"However, the Wood Release unleashed cannot reach the level of the First Hokage-sama."
"Oh, and Minato-sensei, Ryou's construction also has White Zetsu cells transplanted into his body. He perfectly controls them with the Chimera Technique, so he doesn't show the same albinism symptoms as me."
Minato suddenly understood: "So that's why Ryou can use Wood Release?"
