Chapter 85: Fetters
Obito, trying to read Itachi’s thoughts, sarcastically said, “You truly are Konoha’s traitor, one who destroyed his clan! Betrayal has become natural to you!”
“…”
Itachi squeezed his hands hard. He looked at Obito coldly and said, “Senpai, if the outcome is undecided, you should refrain from provoking your opponent.”
Even if Itachi wanted to kill Obito in front of him, he still maintained his rationality and politeness.
However, his attitude undoubtedly angered Obito!
As a mastermind who thought he was superior and had everything in his palm. How could he tolerate seeing Itachi’s arrogant face?
After the genocide, he led Itachi to join Akatsuki!
He gave Itachi a place to stay, and now he betrayed him!
Obito covered his wound with his hand, but blood still leaked from his fingers.
Even if he had superb resilience provided by the Hashirama cells in his body, he couldn’t stop the bleeding. Itachi’s stab was fatal!
Obito’s expression gradually turned sullen, and he said coldly, “The only remaining reason for you to live now is your younger brother who’s still in Konoha’s ninja school, right?”
“Whatever.”
Itachi’s face was calm. He acted more calmly than Obito, “Senpai, your spies in the Akatsuki organization are the only ones you have left. I think you don’t want your chess piece to be completely removed, right?”
“Bastard…”
The two poke at each other’s sore spots.
Within the Akatsuki, Nagato was the most crucial piece to Obito.
Although this chess piece had been disobedient and even wanted to harm him secretly, Obito still did not want to give up and wanted to continue using Nagato through other methods.
After all, his most important project had not yet started…
“Senpai, let’s talk about it!”
Itachi’s Sharingan gradually faded away. He then took the initiative to propose a truce, “I want senpai to tell me why he became the way he is now. Why do you want to replace Uchiha Madara, and what is your true purpose?
I once heard Kakashi-senpai mention that Obito-senpai was the kindest person and the only Uchiha in the village who wanted to become Hokage. “
“Huh, that trash Kakashi is so talkative!”
Obito sneered, and with angry emotions, he said, “This world is hell, and all of Konoha’s ninjas are garbage that I can’t look at. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
“…”
That answer was pretty good.
Obito refused to be led by Itachi, so he just vented his anger and refused to disclose any information.
Including his own past.
Itachi was a little worried that he would go crazy. If Obito invaded Konoha and killed Sasuke while he was unprepared, it would be too much of a loss.
Itachi could only suggest maintaining their previous agreement.
Obito promised not to invade Konoha and harm Konoha’s ninjas while Itachi would continue to stay in Akatsuki’s organization, help Obito collect intel, and help the Akatsuki collect Bijuu.
Both of them knew at heart that their relationship would never return, and they might turn coats at any moment.
At least, Itachi finally had an edge on Obito.
The two of them finally stood on equal footing.
Just as Itachi once threatened Shimura Danzo into not harming Sasuke by threatening to leak Konoha’s information.
As soon as Obito hurts Konoha’s ninja, Itachi would leak all of his information to Pain and Konan.
“…”
Uehara was stunned.
Uehara couldn’t help but touch his chin.
If he turned into Obito’s appearance and went to Konoha to bully Sasuke, would Itachi leak information to Konan?
Wouldn’t it be possible to drive out both Black and White Zetsu?
This matter seemed a bit too messy!
It was problematic to release information in this way. What if they talked first? They would find out that someone acted as Obito…
What if he was found out?
“Forget it. If you perform a mission too hastily, it will inevitably contain flaws.”
Uehara looked at Itachi and sighed, “Really? I’ve given you so much information in vain. You couldn’t even kill Obito.”
Uehara knew at heart that, even if Itachi was fully equipped, he might not be able to beat a seriously injured Obito.
But he still wanted Itachi to try it.
After all, Itachi was defeated by Sasuke in the future, but it was suicide.
He seemed to have the power to fight against anyone.
He could win if he had to.
His power was outrageous.
Perhaps it was for this reason. The enemies Sasuke encountered, later on, were incomprehensible. How could Sasuke kill Itachi…
Uehara was currently on a mission to expel and destroy enemy Anbu and ordinary ninjas. He didn’t know that someone had started to think of him.
It was Obito, who had just reached a shallow agreement with Itachi.
Obito went back to the underground base guarded by White Zetsu’s clone and ordered another White Zetsu clone to replace his damaged organs and heal his injuries.
“What happened?”
Black Zetsu was a little surprised, “Obito, didn’t you go to meet Itachi? Did you get into a fight?”
“Yes…”
Obito nodded and continued, “Itachi is no longer worthy of our trust. He was threatening me with his identity as an official member of Akatsuki. If we get into a conflict, he may inform Konan at any time!”
White Zetsu couldn’t help but say, “Then why did you not kill him?”
“…”
Obito stays silent for a while, concealing the fact that Itachi almost killed him. He whispered, “He’s too exceptional a tool.”
Black Zetsu faintly expressed his dissatisfaction with him recently due to his identity leak.
If he told them that Itachi had almost beaten him, wouldn’t he be laughed at by Black Zetsu and the stupid White Zetsus again?
Black Zetsu felt that the situation was getting more and more difficult. He didn’t think that it was time to be soft, “A person who may cause a crisis at any time is not good for us!”
“It’s fine.”
Obito knocked on the table and made his request, “As long as we regain the trust of Nagato and Konan, we will regain control of the Akatsuki. Itachi’s threat is not worth mentioning.”
“…”
Black Zetsu’s eyes were a little weird, “But Nagato and Konan want to ambush you, not draw you back to join Akatsuki.”
It was really uncomfortable for him to say this.
If he hadn’t provoked that kid Uehara Naraku, he wouldn’t have fallen into this kind of situation.
“I heard that Konan was very fond of her little disciple…”
Uchiha stopped tapping his fingers on the desktop, and slowly raised his head, and said, “That little guy is arrogant and overbearing in front of outsiders. But he looks like a brainless person and doesn’t seem to care much about what I did to him.
If that kid thinks that I had been tricked by him and lost to him, he won’t put me in his eyes, right?”
Black Zetsu’s eyes flashed, “You mean to…”
“If we managed to use the Eye of the Moon Plan to persuade that kid, it should be possible for Konan and Nagato to accept me again.”
Obito’s gaze was gloomy. Then his face gradually showed a touch of arrogance, “Those ignorant people of the Ninja world always like to indulge in some useless feelings, like Uehara’s bond with Konan and Nagato.”
“…”
So you’re telling us to do what you couldn’t!
Black Zetsu and White Zetsu were speechless.
Aren’t you scolding yourself by saying those things?
Who’s the guy who goes to sweep the grave at the risk of being discovered by Konoha ninja?
