Chapter 305: Kagura is behind everything?
"What do you mean?"
"The Eye of the Moon n... has been canceled?"
Uchiha Obito''s expression froze, as if he hadn''t heard clearly for a moment.
Since Uchiha Madara was the initiator of the Eye of the Moon n, Uchiha Obito had considered many things, but he had never thought that Uchiha Madara would abandon the n!
However, when Uchiha Obito grasped the literal meaning, his face turned bewildered and angry: "Uchiha Madara, what exactly are you talking about!"
This old guy...
What nonsense is he spouting!
Does this old guy know what he''s talking about!
What does he mean the Eye of the Moon n has been canceled?Does Uchiha Madara know how much he has sacrificed for the Eye of the Moon n, how many sleepless nights he endured to make it a reality?
For this n...
He buried his past.
For this n...
He betrayed the vige and killed his own teacher...
For this n...
His hands are soaked in blood, living a life worse than a ghost!
All of this was to illuminate the world with Infinite Tsukuyomi, to recreate a world with Rin, how much he has sacrificed to create a world where Rin could live!
And now this guy wants to cancel the n with just one sentence?
"What kind of joke are you making!"
Uchiha Obito red angrily at Uchiha Madara: "We have already collected seven Tailed Beasts! Uzumaki Naruto, the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, is right here!"
"The n is about to seed..."
"I''m still here trying to capture the Nine-Tails..."
"And now you, having been revived, are saying..."
Uchiha Obito clenched his fists, his eyes nearly shooting fire, his anger indescribable: "You''re telling me that the Eye of the Moon n has been canceled!"
"You told me..."
"That the Eye of the Moon n could create a peaceful world..."
Uchiha Obito''s pupils widened, his eyes almost bleeding: "You told me that the Eye of the Moon n could let me use Infinite Tsukuyomi to recreate a world with Rin..."
"I will never allow it!"
Uchiha Obito''s figure instantly entered the space-time vortex, reappearing before Uchiha Madara as if he had gonepletely mad!
He didn''t care!
He would continue the n!
He would use the Eye of the Moon n to recreate a world with Rin!
Uchiha Obito even reached out to grab Uchiha Madara''s eyes, his gaze turning crazy and ferocious: "I will not... never allow the cancetion of the Eye of the Moon n! If you won''t carry it out, then let me continue!"
"Do you want to attack me?"
Uchiha Madara sneered, raising his finger.
Before making Uchiha Obito his pawn, he had imnted a curse seal in Uchiha Obito''s heart, controlling his life and death at any moment!
This guy...
Dared to attack him!
The next moment!
Uchiha Obito fell to the ground clutching his heart in pain!
Uchiha Madara looked down at Uchiha Obito with a grim expression. This Uchiha Obito in front of him was once his shadow, but now this shadow was of no use.
"Now let me tell you..."
Uchiha Madara coldly announced as he stared at Uchiha Obito: "The Eye of the Moon n is a lie, Infinite Tsukuyomi is a conspiracy, it''s all a lie..."
As Uchiha Madara said this, he continued coldly: "The eternal peace we seek is like a flower in a mirror, our n has been canceled..."
"But you told me..."
Uchiha Obito''s mind was on the verge of copse, clutching his heart and muttering the same words over and over: "You told me, you told me, Infinite Tsukuyomi could bring everyone into a peaceful dream, could bring back the dead in the dream..."
"Everything is a lie."
Uchiha Madara nced at Uchiha Obito, who was still maintaining his sanity, and continued disdainfully, "We should thank you for bringing Akihara Kagura into our ranks. Our n was exposed by him. That kid uncovered the conspiracy behind the Eye of the Moon n…"
"Akihara Kagura…"
"What did he do?"
Uchiha Obito, recalling the subordinate he despised the most, struggled to stand up, seemingly going mad, "No matter what he did, I will kill him. Madara, let''s continue with our n…"
"Fool…"
Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes and coldly responded with dissatisfaction, "While you were entangled with these Konoha ninjas, do you realize how much that kid has done? And now, you''re still fixated on capturing the tailed beasts…"
"..."
As Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito were arguing, Might Guy seemed somewhat confused and quickly approached Hatake Kakashi to ask.
"Hey, Kakashi!"
Might Guy cautiously approached Hatake Kakashi and asked, "Did you understand what they were saying? I didn''t quite get it."
"It seems like…"
Hatake Kakashi frowned and, based on the information he knew, cautiously exined, "It seems they had a n, and Akihara Kagura destroyed it, thwarting their conspiracy… something like that…"
"!!!"
Uchiha Madara''s gaze immediately swept over!
"Naive and foolish kid…"
Uchiha Madara, having heard Hatake Kakashi''s words, mocked Kakashi''s ignorance and stupidity, "Indeed, our n failed, but that kid''s n to destroy the ninja world has begun. He deceived everyone!"
"What are you saying!"
Hatake Kakashi''s eyes widened in disbelief.
"You''ll understand when you return to Konoha…"
Uchiha Madara shook his head helplessly, unwilling to borate on their outdated information. He couldn''t possibly tell them he had been deceived, could he?
Besides…
He had been deceived by two people!
Although it was the same scam, both of them had used it to trick him!
At that moment, several ANBU members hurried over and spoke coldly, "Orders from the Hokage! Teams Three, Seven, Eight, and Ten are to return to Konoha immediately!"
"This…"
Hatake Kakashi and the Konoha ninjas hesitated.
They didn''t know the current situation. Why were they suddenly ordered to return to Konoha? Weren''t they supposed to capture Uchiha Obito here?
"Wait…"
Hatake Kakashi stepped forward and softly asked, "Does Lady Tsunade mean that the task of capturing Obito is to be handed over to Root?"
"No!"
However, upon seeing a group of Root ninjas present, the ANBU members continued coldly, "Root leader Akihara Kagura has defected and is now an SSS-ranked rogue ninja. All Root members must return to Konoha for investigation immediately. Any disobedience will be met with lethal force!"
"!!!"
Everyone present was stunned.
If Uchiha Madara''s appearance had only caused confusion and unease, the news of Akihara Kagura''s defection undoubtedly struck terror into their hearts!
"That''s impossible!"
Uzumaki Naruto''s expression changed drastically.
"This must be a joke…"
Uchiha Sasuke frowned deeply.
For both of them, Akihara Kagura held a high position in their hearts, almost like a parent. They absolutely refused to believe such a thing!
"..."
A group of Root ninjas looked at each other in confusion.
They didn''t know their superior''s exact situation nor what they should do. Whose orders should they follow at this moment? Surely not the orders of these Anbu members?
"Don''t make such terrifying jokes…"
Nara Shikamaru of Team 10 couldn''t believe this news.
As one of the few intelligent people in Konoha, the Nara n always assesses the situation carefully. They all knew the significance of Akihara Kagura to Konoha.
"Has something happened in the vige?"
Sweat dripped from Hatake Kakashi''s forehead as he asked solemnly, "What exactly did Kagura do? Why would Lady Tsunade issue such a warrant without reason?"
The strongest force in Konoha defecting...
This could only mean one thing.
The sky was falling.
"To my knowledge, the highest level of a warrant should be S-ss…"
Team 10''s Jonin leader, Sarutobi Asuma, also stood up. He didn''t want to believe this order and sought out its ws: "Who exactly are you people? Why are you impersonating the vige''s Anbu? Are you spies from another ninja vige?"
"..."
The Anbu ninjas felt extremely aggrieved.
Because when they heard about Akihara Kagura''s defection, they had the same thought: could someone be secretly sowing discord?
But...
Everything was true!
Hatake Kakashi looked at this group of Anbu ninjas, some of whom were his former subordinates, but he dared not trust them rashly.
"Please… return to Konoha first!"
The Anbu ninjas could only helplessly hope that everyone present would return to Konoha with them: "Once we get back to Konoha, you''ll understand what''s going on…"
"There''s no need to rush back."
A familiar voice reached everyone''s ears.
"Kagura!"
Uzumaki Naruto immediately recognized the speaker!
"Kagura!"
Hatake Kakashi felt a slight sense of relief. He didn''t know what had happened, but he believed that as long as he asked Akihara Kagura, he would find out what was going on in the vige.
Could it be...
Root caused an uproar or something?
"Be alert!"
As soon as the Anbu ninjas heard Akihara Kagura''s voice, they became vignt and urged loudly, "Everyone retreat immediately, we''ll cover you!"
Compared to theplicated or tense feelings of the Konoha ninjas, Uchiha Madara''s mood instantly became excited. A powerful surge of chakra erupted from him!
"Kid, you came after all!"
Uchiha Madara''s eyes immediately looked towards the depths of the forest!
"No choice."
Akihara Kagura slowly walked out from the forest, with a pitch-ck creature closely following beside him, nervously watching Uchiha Madara.
"ck Zetsu!"
Anger shed in Uchiha Madara''s eyes. He stomped his foot on the ground and suddenly rushed towards them, aiming to kill both ck Zetsu and Akihara Kagura in one strike!
Akihara Kagura raised his arm.
Their arms collided abruptly!
The impact of the collision stirred up a fierce wind. Everyone had to cover their faces from the wind, feeling the unbelievable aftermath of the sh between the two!
"Don''t be hasty."
Akihara Kagura''s arm blocked Uchiha Madara''s. To him, the impact felt like a gentle breeze, and his voice remained calm: "Madara, if you want to fight, could you wait a bit? At least until I read the message from the Hyuga n''s relic…"
"Then let me kill ck Zetsu first!"
Uchiha Madara''s gaze turned coldly towards ck Zetsu!
In the moment of his sh with Akihara Kagura, Madara felt the immense power within Kagura. Their battle wouldn''t be decided quickly!
So...
He might as well kill ck Zetsu first...
To reim some of the interest from his deception!
"That''s not going to happen."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, rejecting Uchiha Madara''s proposal: "At the very least, we should first check if there is any information about ck Zetsu hidden among the historical relics of the Hyuga n to avoid any errors in my n..."
"Akihara Kagura, what on earth is going on here?"
Uchiha Obito clenched his fists and walked step by step towards Akihara Kagura: "What exactly have you been doing? What is the Eye of the Moon n all about? ck Zetsu, what is going on here?"
Currently...
Uchiha Obito still didn''t understand the situation!
Now, Uchiha Obito only knew that their Eye of the Moon n had been canceled, all because of Akihara Kagura, who was now associated with ck Zetsu...
But...
Isn''t ck Zetsu supposed to be Uchiha Madara''s will?
Why does Uchiha Madara want to kill ck Zetsu so badly?
"ck Zetsu!"
Uchiha Obito looked coldly at ck Zetsu, who was standing beside Akihara Kagura, and questioned him: "I remember, aren''t you supposed to be Madara''s will?"
"That ck Zetsu..."
"Is the dark will of the Sage of the Six Paths..."
An ANBU ninja voluntarily answered Uchiha Obito''s question.
Perhaps because he couldn''t stand Uchiha Obito''s severeck of information.
However, another ANBU ninja immediately refuted hispanion: "Wait a minute... isn''t ck Zetsu the will of Kaguya?"
Yet another ANBU ninja countered: "But ording to the historical records of the Senju n, ck Zetsu is the dark will of the Sage of the Six Paths..."
"What on earth is going on..."
Hatake Kakashi, usually quick-thinking, couldn''t help but rub his forehead in frustration at this moment, unable to figure out what had happened.
"I think I have some guesses..."
Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Nara Shikamaru''s face.
All the information quickly converged in his mind.
This seventeen-year-old immediately guessed what might have happened, his heart racing as he trembled and spoke: "Uchiha Madara didn''t attack us; he even helped Naruto subdue the Nine-Tails... which means he might not be our enemy... and the ANBU ninja didn''t show any surprise at Uchiha Madara''s appearance..."
"So..."
"That creature called ck Zetsu..."
"And Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito..."
"They must have had a n to overthrow the ninja world, which they kept referring to as the Eye of the Moon n. Their rtionships are unclear, but they must be allies of some sort..."
"But..."
"This n was forcibly canceled..."
Nara Shikamaru remembered Uchiha Madara mentioning Akihara Kagura''s intent to destroy the ninja world. Speaking of his spections, his lips be dry: "Because that creature called ck Zetsu has a special identity and an even more terrifying n, such as being the so-called will of the Sage of the Six Paths or something..."
"So ck Zetsu chose to betray Uchiha Madara..."
At this point, Nara Shikamaru''s gaze fell on Akihara Kagura, a sense of panic welling up with the facts he had guessed: "It chose another person to carry out an even more terrifying n, and that person it chose..."
"Is the assistant to our vige''s Hokage..."
"Akihara Kagura."
"..."
Everyone present was stunned.
"As expected of a Nara n ninja..."
Even the ANBU ninjas had to praise Nara Shikamaru''s wisdom. They had witnessed the upheaval in Konoha firsthand but couldn''t summarize the events as Nara Shikamaru did.
Even Uchiha Madara turned to nce at Nara Shikamaru, giving him an appreciative look.
"That''s roughly correct, but the process and oue are somewhat different..."
After praising Nara Shikamaru, an ANBU ninja''s voice grew heavy: "Strictly speaking..."
The ANBU''s gaze fell on Akihara Kagura, who was smiling, remembering that behind that smiley the darkness controlling the ninja world and the conspiracy to destroy it, causing his heart to race uncontrobly.
"The former assistant to the Hokage in our vige, Akihara Kagura..."
"Is the true culprit behind all these conspiracies from the shadows."
