Chapter 249: Lin was played in front of Obito
Chapter 249: Rin was played in front of Obito's eyes...
In the Land of Rice, in Orochimaru's secret base.
Orochimaru looked at Lu Li who had just arrived and smiled what he thought was a kind smile, "Mr. Lu, you are really unexpected."
"What do you mean?"
Lu Li glanced at Bai and Kimimaro who were following behind Orochimaru. Zabuza did not bring Bai with him on this mission, mainly because Bai was too young to be of any use.
And here with Orochimaru, Bai is growing very fast, and Zabuza is happy to let Bai study here.
In exchange, Orochimaru will study Haku's cells and do some experiments on the Ice Release Bloodline Limit.
"You swept the Hidden Mist Village by yourself. This is something Minato couldn't do."
There was something hidden in Orochimaru's words, and he observed Lu Li's expression.
However, he did not see any reluctance on Lu Li's face. Lu Li just calmly followed him to the reception room and said, "The Fourth Hokage and I are not the same type of ninja. This is normal."
"Haha, Mr. Lu, don't be so modest. Even if Minato fights you one-on-one, you will definitely win."
Orochimaru exclaimed, and brought the topic back to business, "Lu Jun's combat power is so strong, it seems that our plan to destroy Konoha can be carried out ahead of schedule."
"Oh? No need for the tailed beasts anymore?"
Lu Li had the same idea and wanted to hear how far Orochimaru had prepared.
"The tailed beasts are certainly powerful weapons in war, but the five major ninja villages are currently on high alert, and Pain has also restricted our actions. If we try to capture the tailed beasts before attacking Konoha, it will lead to sanctions from the organization."
Orochimaru said, licking the corner of his mouth, "With my Manjusri and your Shinga, it is enough to break through Konoha's army on the front battlefield."
"What if Tsunade and Jiraiya come back?"
Lu Li asked back, this is not impossible, Konoha also has explorer forces, it is impossible for them not to notice the undercurrent of the storm in this world, and they will definitely make some arrangements in advance.
Not to mention their own combat power, the best way to protect the Konoha camp is naturally to bring back Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Tsunade is a simple Kage-level fighter. There is no need to elaborate on how powerful Jiraiya is. He is a master who fought with Pain's Six Paths for a long time without knowing the overall situation. Among the three ninjas, he is the undisputed number one.
They are individually powerful and also have super-giant summoning beasts, which just offset the summoning beasts of Lu Li and Orochimaru.
"Hehe... Jiraiya, I really missed you."
When talking about Jiraiya, Orochimaru showed an unfathomable smile on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking of his good friend in his heart.
Lu Li felt that the three ninjas were the previous generation versions of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, except that Orochimaru was not as pretentious as Sasuke.
"Mr. Lu, with your strength, you can even defeat the perfect Jinchūriki, the Fourth Mizukage. You should be able to defeat Jiraiya, right? Tsunade is not a concern, as her hemophobia has not yet recovered."
Orochimaru said sinisterly, "As for the Ninja World Doctor, the old man from the Third Generation, leave it to me."
"What a filial disciple."
Lu Li said with a smile, his tone without any sarcasm.
Orochimaru laughed a few times, "That old man should have been buried long ago. It's better for me to give him a hand now than for him to die in bed."
"Then it's settled. The third generation will be given to you, and the others will be mine."
Lu Li also didn't expect Orochimaru to be able to defeat many strong men. His most powerful technique at the moment was the Impure World Reincarnation. With his own strength alone, it would be difficult for him to fight the Third Generation head-on.
"Well, I haven't finished yet. This attack on Konoha is not a rash decision. We still have allies."
Orochimaru smiled and said, "It is also thanks to Lu Jun's disturbance in the Hidden Mist Village. The actions of the Akatsuki organization in the Hidden Mist Village, combined with your deterrent power, have made the Hidden Mist Village very anxious. They have sent envoys to Konoha to convene the Five Kage Conference."
"What does this have to do with our allies?"
Lu Li asked doubtfully. The Sand Village was provoked and now became their potential enemy.
"Scorpion's subordinates were captured as spies by Sunagakure during that battle."
Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, "He will use false information to lure the Kazekage out alone, giving me the opportunity to assassinate the Kazekage."
Lu Li touched his chin when he heard this, "Your assistant? Is he reliable?"
"Don't worry. As a multi-faceted spy, he is a professional. His loyalty to me has nothing to do with profit. It comes from faith."
Orochimaru smiled and said, "That is a loyalty that is more reliable than a relationship of interest."
Lu Li nodded. He had no doubt about Dou's business ability, but he was afraid that the explorers from Sand Village would cause trouble. After all, the explorers knew that Dou was a spy.
It is possible that the future Kabuto is already dead. All we can say is that Orochimaru made a bad move due to poor intelligence and information.
But he was too lazy to remind Orochimaru that whether Orochimaru could successfully assassinate the Kazekage and lead the Sunagakure ally to attack Konoha was secondary in his opinion.
Anyway, he doesn't think highly of the combat power of the two ugly guys in Sunagakure. Can he still expect the little Gaara to transform into Shukaku and defeat Konoha?
Please, if Naruto really wants to bring out his protagonist halo and the Nine-Tails appears, Konoha will be really finished. This is not in Lu Li’s plan.
…………
While Lu Li was discussing the details of Konoha's destruction plan with Orochimaru, two Uchiha masters were confronting each other in the Forest of Death in Konoha Village.
"Sharingan...who are you?"
Uchiha Itachi looked at the masked man in front of him with caution. He felt that the man had used a dojutsu just now. It was definitely not an ordinary Sharingan, but the same Mangekyō Sharingan as his own. He knew all the existing masters in the clan and could tell who the other person was from their aura, but he was sure that he had no impression of the man in front of him.
Or maybe he had seen it before when he was a child, but that was too long ago for him to be able to tell.
After a brief reasoning in his mind, Itachi roughly concluded that the other party might be a member of the Uchiha clan who disappeared in the Third Ninja World War.
"Don't think about it, I'll tell you the answer."
Obito looked at the young Itachi and said in a pretentious manner: "I am Uchiha Madara."
When Itachi heard this answer, his pupils shrank. This was an answer he had not expected.
Uchiha Madara is the strongest person in the history of their clan. He swept across the entire ninja world shoulder to shoulder with the God of Ninja World and created a new pattern of five major ninja villages.
But if Uchiha Madara is still alive, he would be at least 90 years old, right? How is this possible?
Moreover, according to the records in Konoha textbooks, Uchiha Madara was clearly defeated by the First Hokage in the battle at the Valley of the End and had died.
"Uchiha Madara is dead, who are you?"
Itachi spoke in a deep voice, the Sharingan in his eyes slowly moving, he pulled out a kunai from his waist and assumed a fighting stance.
No matter who the other party is, whoever hides his head and finds him in the Forest of Death is not a friend of Konoha Village, but his enemy.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. My identity is not important to you anyway."
Obito said, "I came here only to tell you the truth about the Uchiha clan."
"What truth?"
Itachi's face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
"After you return, go to the back of the clan's ancestral hall and check the stone tablets left by your ancestors. Use the power of your Mangekyō Sharingan to see, and you will naturally discover the truth."
Obito's voice was high and cold, trying his best to act like the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, "And after knowing the truth, you will no longer have hope for Konoha, or even the entire ninja world."
Itachi looked at the masked man in surprise, "Why should I listen to you? It won't do me any good if I read the slate."
Obito was stunned, he never expected Itachi to react like this. Why didn't he play by the rules?
Normally, if someone told you that the stone tablet that has been passed down in your family for thousands of years records a shocking truth, could you resist reading it?
"I am not interested in the truth. Since it is a stone tablet left by our ancestors, it happened thousands of years ago. Instead of reminiscing about the past that does not belong to me, I might as well build the future with hope."
Uchiha Itachi held a kunai in his hand, the Mangekyo in his eyes spun rapidly, and Tsukuyomi was activated immediately.
Being quick-witted, he realized that the masked man who appeared in front of him at this time was most likely the mysterious man who controlled the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha and fought against the Fourth Hokage.
If it hadn't been revealed that the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been in such a bad situation and would not have been wary and ostracized by the people of Konoha.
So in Itachi's view, the man in front of him was his mortal enemy, and as long as he could catch the masked man in front of him, many things would come to light, and the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village could be further eased.
When Obito saw Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō manifest, he thought to himself that it was bad, as he was not very clear about the capabilities of Itachi's Mangekyō.
The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. After the Mangekyō Sharingan is opened, abilities will be born according to each person's inner desires, but he couldn't think of what kind of ability Itachi would have.
Itachi did not dare to hold back when facing a strong man who also held the Mangekyō, and released Tsukuyomi right away.
If Lu Li could have foreseen this kind of thing would happen, he would have told Itachi in advance not to use Tsukuyomi, but to directly use Shisui's Kotoamatsukami to attack Obito.
Unfortunately, there is no if. Itachi was also unaware of Obito's abilities, and he just instinctively launched his strongest illusion.
Although Obito was a laggard in the past, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds since he was taught by Uchiha Madara, and his combat awareness is also first-class. When he realized that the opponent was using illusion eye technique and he had no way to avoid being hit, he transferred himself to the different space unique to his Sharingan before he completely lost consciousness.
In Itachi's eyes, he released Tsukuyomi and Obito twisted and disappeared almost at the same time.
On the other side, in Obito's different space, he fell to the ground, gasping in pain.
Itachi's Tsukuyomi ability is very unique. When the target is in front of him, he can control the scene in the Tsukuyomi illusion world in detail. For example, he can tie the person to a pillar and stab him slowly one by one.
But if the target leaves his control range, like the current situation, he will not be able to control the scene in the Tsukuyomi world.
However, Tsukuyomi will not be automatically canceled, because it is a technique that is intended to cause the target's mental collapse, and will automatically show the most terrifying scene deep in the other person's heart.
So, now Obito's inner world has returned to that dark night.
He first saw his beloved Lin being killed over and over again, which almost drove him crazy, but no matter how many times he rushed out, he could not save Lin.
As he roared angrily, the scene changed and it was finally no longer that rainy night.
But he saw Kakashi and Rin hugging each other, and he was tied to a tree, watching them being intimate with each other, as well as the unspeakable things that followed.
Such scenes played in rotation, and in Obito's consciousness it seemed as if several months or even a year had passed, nearly making him collapse.
But in the end he woke up, and got up from the ground with sweat all over his forehead. He was wet all over and felt very uncomfortable.
The reason why he was able to escape from Tsukuyomi was not because his attainments in illusion were better than Itachi's, but because there was still some pupil power left in his eyes given to him by Uchiha Madara, which broke the illusion at the critical moment and saved his life.
Obito's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with venom, "Uchiha Itachi..."
