Chapter 175: Tsunade's Moves
"Everything is going as I expected."
Naraku Uehara's figure was in a small alley in Konoha. Watching teams of Konoha ninjas rushing towards the forbidden jutsu room, a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Just now, after revealing himself as Kabuto Yakushi in front of Tsunade, Naraku Uehara immediately hid and used Riftwalk to change his position.
Now, the entire Konoha must be focused on capturing Orochimaru as their main task. The Hokage's office should be empty, right?
Clearly, Naraku Uehara was overthinking.
The Hokage's office was guarded by Anbu at all times.
Naraku Uehara quietly activated his Destiny skill, and his entire person appeared on the Hokage Rock, looking down at the Hokage's office below.
Naraku Uehara slowly brought his hands together to form a seal and said in a deep voice, "Ninpō: Summoning Jutsu!"
A coffin slowly emerged from the ground.
Obito Uchiha's figure was revealed from within.
Naraku Uehara smiled at the Edo Tensei Obito Uchiha, held up his finger, and said, "Go, bring me the Scroll of Seals!"
"Bastard!"
After Obito Uchiha cursed, his entire person, against his will, turned into a space-time vortex. The next moment, he appeared on the roof of the Hokage's office below.
With Obito Uchiha's power, dealing with a few Anbu was very simple.
Even though these Anbu knew his ability, they still had no way to change their fate.
Obito also knew in his heart that the few Anbu guarding the Hokage's office would surely die. Yet, he still revealed Naraku Uehara's intelligence to them, clearly hoping that Konoha's Yamanaka clan could use their secret techniques to obtain the intelligence he was secretly leaking.
At this moment, his intelligence had improved considerably.
Naraku Uehara watched Obito Uchiha's actions and curled his lips, "Your intelligence has improved quite a bit, Mr. Obito. It seems death has its benefits for you…"
The next second.
Under Naraku Uehara's control, Obito Uchiha's Kamui Sharingan madly absorbed the few Anbu corpses on the ground. A hint of despair immediately appeared in his eyes.
With the corpses gone, how could the intelligence be leaked!
After a while, Obito Uchiha appeared beside Naraku Uehara, holding the Scroll of Seals, and handed it to Naraku Uehara with his own hands.
Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth and looked at Naraku Uehara, "Naraku Uehara, you bastard, you've hidden yourself so well that no one has seen through your ambition! Before I killed them, these Anbu didn't even believe what I said!"
"Hehe…"
Naraku Uehara smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "The ninjas of Konoha have a love-hate and regretful relationship with me. This is the charm of personality… If the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, hadn't been disgraced, perhaps their hatred for me would be a little more."
Naraku Uehara scanned the entire Konoha, the smile on his face gradually becoming richer, "Unfortunately, Lord Third Hokage was disgraced. Some Konoha ninjas might even be glad that I killed him, right? After all, this can be considered returning a clear sky to Konoha!"
"Bastard!"
Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
However, under the control of Edo Tensei, his actions were forced to a halt again.
Naraku Uehara turned his head to look at Obito Uchiha and smiled, saying softly, "Alright, Senior Obito, why don't you take this opportunity to go and see Rin Nohara? If you miss her, I can use Edo Tensei to bring her out for you!"
"Don't!"
Obito Uchiha shook his head fiercely and said in a deep voice, "Don't disturb Rin's peace. This is what you promised me back then!"
"Eh? You don't want to be with her?"
Naraku Uehara stroked his chin and said with a smile, "I can even put you two in the same coffin!"
"No!"
Obito Uchiha quickly shook his head.
Because his soul had hastily left the Pure Land, he still didn't know if Rin had forgiven him for the wrong things he had done. Perhaps she would never forgive him?
If Rin Nohara hadn't forgiven him…
Wouldn't he have to see her disgusted expression every day?
Moreover, if Rin Nohara were to be controlled by this Naraku Uehara fellow, she might even be used by Naraku Uehara to attack Kakashi…
That angel-like girl, her heart would be broken, right?
"Oh, I see."
Naraku Uehara looked at Obito Uchiha and nodded, his voice suddenly becoming cold and indifferent, "Now, you go and rescue Orochimaru! Remember in the future, never leak my intelligence, otherwise, I can't guarantee I won't do something impulsive…"
Naraku Uehara's voice suddenly became somewhat ethereal, "Perhaps I will use Edo Tensei to revive Rin Nohara, then dispel your Edo Tensei, and have her work for me?"
"..."
Obito Uchiha abruptly raised his head, his eyes crimson as he looked at Naraku Uehara, and spat lightly, "Naraku Uehara, you bastard, you are truly despicable!"
"Likewise."
Naraku Uehara sized up Obito Uchiha, who looked as if he couldn't live under the same sky as him, and said with a smile, "Senior Obito has also done quite a few bad things over the years, right? Compared to Senior's actions, I am actually still far behind!"
Naraku Uehara approached Obito Uchiha and said coldly, "For example, killing the previous generation of our Akatsuki members, and luring Lord Nagato and Teacher Konan to create a dark Akatsuki!"
"..."
A look of shock instantly flashed across Obito Uchiha's face, "That Black Zetsu fellow even told you this?"
"Let's not talk about this."
Naraku Uehara looked at the expression on Obito Uchiha's face, and the corner of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc, "Go, Senior! Let the entire ninja world know that Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja, Obito Uchiha, has reappeared after four years!"
"Damn you!"
Obito Uchiha clenched his fist. His figure once again turned into a space-time vortex and disappeared, appearing near Orochimaru.
The battle at Konoha's forbidden jutsu room had reached a fever pitch.
Facing the siege of Tsunade and a group of Konoha ninjas, Orochimaru, with no other choice, had to once again use Edo Tensei to summon the First and Second Hokage.
While the two sides were fighting inextricably, Obito Uchiha's figure quietly appeared behind Orochimaru, his voice cold, "Mr. Orochimaru, we have no need to fight with Konoha anymore. Retreat."
The next moment, Orochimaru's body was pulled into the Kamui dimension by Obito.
The Edo Tensei bodies of the First and Second Hokage also followed his movement and entered the Kamui dimension together.
Obito Uchiha scanned the group of Konoha ninjas who were looking at him with hatred, and slowly pulled himself into the Kamui dimension as well.
Because Obito Uchiha was the first ninja in the world to be resurrected by Edo Tensei in his prime, no one else realized that he was an Edo Tensei body.
After Obito Uchiha and Orochimaru left, Tsunade looked at the tragic battlefield with an ugly expression, slammed her fist on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Have those two joined forces?"
The alliance of two Konoha S-rank rogue ninjas was not so easy to deal with.
Especially Obito Uchiha's magical visual prowess and the pile of forbidden techniques mastered by Orochimaru. Their alliance could be a disaster for the entire ninja world.
"Clean up the battlefield immediately."

After Tsunade gave a loud command, while returning to the Hokage's office, she instructed Shizune beside her, "Send someone to inform the other jonin. I want to hold a jonin meeting to discuss an alliance between Konoha and the Land of Water's Kirigakure. Let Kirigakure help us put pressure on Iwagakure. I need to free up manpower to encircle and suppress Orochimaru!"
"Yes!"
Shizune quickly lowered her head and complied.
Recently, the Land of Water had been very quiet in the ninja world.
However, this did not mean their strength was weak. After all, they had the foundation of a great ninja village. Moreover, it was said that the one in power in the Land of Water recently was a woman named Mei Terumi, who was said to rarely possess two types of kekkei genkai.
Besides, Kirigakure had been closed off for too long and had always wanted to cooperate with Konoha and have contact with the mainland of the ninja world. When Mei Terumi was choosing an ally for Kirigakure, the first person she thought of was the newly appointed Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.
Perhaps Mei Terumi also thought women were easier to talk to?
That woman was overthinking it.
Both Kirigakure and Konoha had some intention of forming an alliance, but Tsunade had been holding back, wanting to seek greater benefits. Now, it was clear she didn't want to drag it out any longer.
After Tsunade returned to the Hokage's office, she saw the messy office and the empty cabinet. She knew in her heart that the Scroll of Seals had been stolen!
This was a feint!
No, this was also luring the tiger away from the mountain!
In short, Orochimaru's target was not Konoha's forbidden jutsu room at all. That bastard actually wanted to steal Konoha's Scroll of Seals!
Tsunade was so angry she grabbed the desk and threw it out the window, her voice filled with even more ferocity, "Send someone to contact that old woman in Sunagakure! Tell her to fulfill her duty as an ally and press Iwagakure from the north to withdraw from the Land of Grass!"
Tsunade turned around, full of murderous intent, and said loudly, "Tell that old woman Chiyo! As long as Konoha occupies the entire Land of Grass, I will return the Land of Wind's daimyo's missions to them!"
"…Yes."
Shizune was so frightened by Tsunade that she trembled, and even Tonton at her feet was scared and clung to Shizune's leg, not daring to move.
Even in a rage, Tsunade still had enough reason.
This first female Hokage in Konoha's history displayed her superior political skills and a temper so fierce that no one dared to provoke her.
Although Tsunade was a big sucker who lost money, and she herself couldn't even count how much she owed, the current Konoha was not short of funds.
Because Tsunade had a good relationship with the Fire Daimyo, and even had some distant family ties, the Fire Daimyo naturally supported her fully.
Konoha did not lack money.
In fact, because there were too many commissioned missions, they were a bit short on manpower.
Now, using the mission commissions from the Wind Daimyo in exchange for the entire territory of the Land of Grass was a profitable deal for Konoha no matter how you looked at it.
Tsunade slammed her fist on the windowsill, not caring that the wall was cracked by her blow, and said in a deep voice, "Shizune, can you contact Jiraiya?"
"I'll… think of a way."
Shizune trembled but did not dare to refuse.
Tsunade then waved her hand somewhat listlessly, "Forget it, don't look for him. That Jiraiya fellow is unreliable anyway."
After a pause, Tsunade spoke again, "I heard from Kakashi Hatake that Amegakure and Orochimaru seem to have some old grudges. See if we can get some information about Orochimaru from them."
After speaking, Tsunade added, "Send someone to contact Amegakure! And see if they are willing to assist us against Iwagakure, after all, this is also beneficial to them."
"Yes…"
Shizune nodded weakly.
Tsunade clenched her fist and said in a low voice, "I hope Amegakure will send that little brat Naraku Uehara over! It's been a few years, let me see how big that little brat's guts have grown!"
