[Konoha, Uchiha clan grounds, Uchiha Fugaku's house]
In the living room, Uchiha Fugaku and Obito sat facing each other.
Uchiha Fugaku cautiously glanced at Obito, "That person, has he left?"
Obito nodded, said lightly, "Yeah, he's been in Konoha for quite some time already, it's time to leave."
Fugaku's tone was full of regret, "Actually, he didn't have to leave. During the time Lord Madara was here, many children in the clan made great progress."
"Didn't expect that even Lord Madara has changed a lot..."
But Obito shook his head, "Every journey has an end. Meeting for a while, parting is inevitable."
"Madara actually hasn't changed much. It's just that because of certain matters, he made some compromises."
Fugaku said with some worry, "Then Lord Madara, where is he now?"
Someone like Lord Madara, no matter where he is, always brings a sense of unease and is bound to stir up big trouble.
After all, Lord Madara bears the Uchiha name, inevitably getting involved with the clan.
Obito looked at Fugaku with a half-smile, "He's in the Akatsuki organization now, became the leader of Akatsuki."
"What!", Fugaku was shocked.
The Akatsuki organization was once invested in by the Uchiha, and has close ties with the Uchiha.
Although no one has noticed this for now, there's no wall in the world that doesn't let the wind through.
Fugaku was a bit uneasy, "If the Konoha higher-ups discover we invested in Akatsuki, and that its leader is Lord Madara, will they develop some ideas about us?"
Obito laughed, "Actually, among the so-called Konoha higher-ups, only Danzo is a real threat. If he dies, the Third won't do anything too extreme."
Fugaku was stunned, then realized something, "So, you've already started luring Danzo to Amegakure, planning to make a move there?"
Obito nodded, "Yeah, Akatsuki has already coordinated with Hanzo. As soon as there's news of Danzo, they'll contact us immediately."
"If Danzo dares to go to Amegakure to meet Hanzo, it will be a one-way trip."
"Clan Leader Fugaku, recently you can also keep a closer watch on Danzo. If you find he's left Konoha, just assume he's close to death."
Fugaku let out a sigh of relief, "If we can solve the major problem that is Danzo, that would be best."
"Is there anything you need my help with?"
Obito shook his head, and said with some deeper meaning, "Help is not really needed, but I have a request. I hope that on that day, the clan leader can bring along his wife and Itachi to the scene, to witness Danzo's death."
Fugaku was stunned, "Obito, if Danzo dies, it would indeed be a great relief for all, I also would love to witness it. But why bring Mikoto and Itachi? Especially Itachi, he's not even two years old yet..."
Obito thought of Itachi's massacre of the clan in his past life, and only said faintly, "Itachi, he should be there, more than many others."
Fugaku couldn't quite understand, but then remembered that Obito planned to cultivate Itachi as Hokage, and suddenly realized, "You want Itachi to see the world, and go through life and death experience?"
"Actually, I had the same thought, originally planning to wait until he grew a bit older, maybe three or four years old, to do this."
"But since you already have this plan, doing it earlier is fine too."
Obito glanced at Fugaku, "Let's just say that. Just remember to bring them."
Fugaku didn't know what Obito was thinking, but considering Obito's thoroughness, he must've arranged everything already?
He just couldn't help but ask, "There's still one more question."
"The Land of Rain is too far from Konoha. How are we going to get there?"
Obito smiled, and suddenly opened his Mangekyō, "Clan Leader Fugaku, guess why I can learn Minato-sensei's Flying Thunder God?"
"Because, these eyes of mine have space-time abilities. When the time comes, I can use this ability to bring you all over."
Fugaku looked at the large windmill pattern with three sickles in Obito's eyes, and thought, 'So this is Obito's Mangekyō?'
'Space-time ability, I'm hearing about it for the first time, truly worthy of being the most unique Uchiha.'
He felt relieved and said, "I understand, then I'll leave everything to you to arrange."
Obito nodded and stood up.
"Actually I came today just to inform Clan Leader Fugaku, the plan to kill Danzo has already begun."
"Now that the message is delivered, I'll take my leave," After speaking, Obito turned and left.
At this moment, Mikoto happened to come in with Itachi.
Mikoto saw Obito and quickly said to Itachi, "Itachi, call Obito-nii-san."
Itachi looked at Obito with big curious eyes, not understanding why his mother treated Obito with such importance.
He politely called out, "Obito-nii-san."
Obito looked at the small and easy-to-tease Itachi, and suddenly became playful.
He squatted down and pinched Itachi's little face.
"Itachi, one day, big brother will take you to see how bad guys are judged. How about it?"
Itachi was a bit displeased at first, puffing his cheeks.
'How can someone just pinch my face?'
But after hearing Obito's words, he looked confused, "Bad guys?"
Obito smiled and said, "You'll understand when the time comes. Anyway, he caused a lot of tragedies. Itachi, when you grow up, you must never become someone like him."
Itachi didn't understand who Obito was talking about, but still nodded, "I definitely won't become a bad guy."
Obito couldn't help raising his hand and poked Itachi's forehead, "Many bad guys don't think what they did was bad. Itachi, before doing anything, you must learn to reflect, whether what you do is right or wrong."
"Sometimes, holding in too much in your heart will cause problems."
Itachi covered his forehead, feeling a bit aggrieved, but didn't know how to respond, just showing reluctance, "Obito-nii-san, can you not poke my forehead in the future?"
Obito became interested, asked, "Why?"
Itachi also didn't know why, just stubbornly said, "Just don't poke, anyway."
Obito laughed, stood up, "Alright then, this is the last time, Itachi."
Mikoto saw that Obito was about to leave and tried to keep him, "Obito, not staying a bit longer? You can eat lunch before you go."
Obito shook his head, "Minato-sensei asked us to gather at the training field, ma'am, I'll take my leave first."
After speaking, Obito left Fugaku's house.

[Konoha, Training Field Near the River]
Team 7 members finished gathering.
Minato spoke seriously, "Obito, Kakashi, Rin, news from the front lines says that the forces of Kumogakure and Iwagakure have launched attacks from different directions toward the garrisons on Konoha's border."
"Konoha is caught in a three-way siege, and the frontlines are very tense."
"So our mission has also arrived. After the jonin assessment, you'll immediately head to Kikyo Mountain to first suppress the Sunagakure assault."
Kakashi asked, "So, Minato-sensei, has the jonin team that will spar with us been confirmed?"
Minato nodded, "Confirmed. Considering you're a team with much experience working together, it's been decided that Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, and Akimichi Choza will face you."
Rin's eyes widened, "Ino-Shika-Cho?"
Kakashi also sighed, "Originally thought we had the advantage, turns out it's Ino-Shika-Cho."
Minato said, "Anyway, because of the urgency of war, the assessment is scheduled for tomorrow. There will be many people present. You must perform well."
After speaking, Minato's gaze turned serious, "Because Konoha has reached a life-or-death crisis, after this assessment, not only us, but many people will leave Konoha for various battlefields."
Obito nodded, suddenly remembering the promise he made to Big Sis Kushina, "Minato-sensei, how about I go talk to the three Kage now?"
