Ten days later, the Kage and leaders of the various villages, having communicated and agreed on a meeting time, set out from their respective villages one after another.
Kageyama Kogetsu was naturally not in a hurry. It wouldn't take him much time to get there, so he had plenty of time to depart on the agreed day.
Three days later, in the morning, Kageyama Kogetsu, wearing his Hokage hat and robe, departed from the main gate of Konoha with Fū Yamanaka and Torune Aburame, seen off by everyone.
Obito Uchiha, who had secretly sent White Zetsu to spy from afar, didn't act rashly. He waited until the afternoon to infiltrate Konoha.
And Obito Uchiha didn't even do it personally. He said he didn't need Madara Uchiha's reminder, but his actions were very honest—he sent a Shape-Shifting Technique clone.
Learning from his last lesson, the Obito clone didn't land directly on the roof of the Hokage Tower, but on the outskirts of Konoha.
"I wasn't discovered. Great."
Controlling the clone from a distance, Obito Uchiha was delighted and was about to form hand seals to summon the Six Paths of Jinchūriki Pain.
Suddenly, a subtle spatial fluctuation appeared behind him...
The Obito clone was startled and subconsciously used Kamui, but he was a step too late. A black rod pierced through his left chest.
If it were Obito Uchiha's main body, he might have been able to dodge, but the clone, possessing only thirty percent of the main body's strength, simply wasn't fast enough.
"Masked Man, a dog really can't stop eating shit. Why are you always thinking about doing these sneaky things?" Kageyama Kogetsu retracted the black rod, his face full of disdain.
The Obito clone slowly turned his head, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and said tremblingly, "You... you really are insidious!"
"Hehe... a dog's mouth spits no ivory. I call this anticipating the enemy's moves. You're the insidious one," Kageyama Kogetsu sneered.
"It's... it's all the same. Fortunately, I didn't lose either."
The next moment, Obito Uchiha's appearance and figure disappeared, transforming into a completely different ninja.
Kageyama Kogetsu sneered, "Hmph... deceiving yourself!"
"Your plan failed, and you lost a clone. How is that not losing?"
"Drop dead."
With his right hand pulling out the black rod and his left hand pushing forward, the clone fell face-first to the ground. Blood gushed from the wound, slowly staining the ground red.
Konoha, in a forest to the north.
"Damn it!"
Standing on a tree branch, Obito Uchiha cursed with a dark face. He couldn't help but punch the tree trunk with his left hand, his entire arm sinking into the wood.
Losing a clone was nothing, and a failed plan was nothing. What was unbearable was the feeling that his intelligence had been crushed!
This gave Obito Uchiha the illusion of returning to his days as a dead-last student at the Ninja Academy...
During his student days, whether in theory or practical combat, his grades were inferior to Kageyama Kogetsu's—or rather, he was left far behind.
As a student, although Kageyama Kogetsu wasn't always number one, he was always among the top few, a consistent honor student.
Obito Uchiha raged for a while. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He decided to regain face, or at least vent his anger.
So, Obito Uchiha arranged the Six Paths of Jinchūriki Pain in six directions around the outskirts of Konoha, then controlled them to simultaneously enter full Tailed Beast transformation and condense Tailed Beast Bombs...
"Tailed Beast Bombs from six directions. Let's see if you, the Hokage, can block them all..."
Obito Uchiha's face was hideous and terrifying, his tone cold and hoarse. He looked like a frantic, possessed madman.
In Konoha, a very small number of strong individuals and the Konoha Barrier and Sensing Division sensed the intense chakra fluctuations from six directions outside the village, and their expressions changed drastically!
Sasuke and Naruto, who were in different places, leaped high into the air simultaneously. Seeing the Tailed Beast Bombs flying from the distance, they couldn't help but panic...
They could block some of them, but what about the explosions caused by blocking them, and the other parts?
Konoha's barrier couldn't withstand attacks of this magnitude. If the Tailed Beast Bombs were allowed to explode in the village, how many people would die indiscriminately?
"Don't move. I'll handle it."
Fortunately, at this moment, reassuring words reached their ears. They looked up and saw their father already in combat mode, hovering in mid-air.
At the same time, the ninja of the Konoha Barrier and Sensing Division also received Kageyama Kogetsu's order to deactivate the barrier.
Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
Kageyama Kogetsu held a golden lightsaber and slashed horizontally in a circle. The golden lightsaber instantly expanded, cutting through the six Tailed Beast Bombs almost simultaneously with unparalleled sharpness.
Boom, boom, boom...
Six Tailed Beast Bombs exploded almost simultaneously outside Konoha. Six giant brilliant white fireballs rose into the sky, annihilating everything within their light.
The ground trembled, and surging winds poured into Konoha from all directions, causing quite a disturbance for a moment. Fortunately, there were no major issues, at most some minor injuries.
"That guy..."
Obito Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
The next moment, a sharp, piercing gaze filled with killing intent shot towards him like an arrow...
Obito Uchiha's heart trembled. He quickly canceled the full Tailed Beast transformation of the Jinchūriki Pain and recalled them, then immediately used Kamui to leave.
Seeing this, Kageyama Kogetsu sneered inwardly...
Be arrogant, be smug. You don't have much time left, kid.
Wait until I catch you. See how I deal with you. I'll make you wish you were dead!
Retracting his gaze, Kageyama Kogetsu canceled the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, nodded to his two sons, and then returned to the Hokage Tower to appease the people.
Of course, another big mark was added to Obito Uchiha's list of sins.
After appeasing the people, Kageyama Kogetsu secretly left Konoha and switched back with his shadow clone.
...
Land of Iron, beneath the Mountains' Graveyard, in the underground hall. Obito Uchiha emerged from a space-time vortex...
"Hehe, I told you it would fail, but you didn't believe me..." Madara Uchiha shook his head and laughed.
Obito Uchiha felt even more depressed and said grumpily, "Can't you hope for something good for me?"
"What good does my failure do you?"
Madara Uchiha smiled. "Emotionally, I hope you succeed, but rationally, I knew the success rate was extremely low."
"Kageyama Kogetsu is not only powerful but also meticulous. He possesses both wisdom and courage."
"How could he not notice such a big loophole as the Ninja Village Summit?"
"Since he was prepared, wasn't your returning empty-handed obvious?"
"Fortunately, your plan wasn't a total failure. The assassination results were decent."
Obito Uchiha felt slightly better and looked at Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu reported dutifully, "Among the leaders of the small ninja villages, except for Orochimaru, the rest were wiped out along with their guards."
Konan was the secret leader of Amegakure, not the public one. For occasions requiring the leader's public attendance, the public leader would go.
"As for the great ninja villages, no Kage died, only injuries, but their guards suffered heavy casualties."
Obito Uchiha's face darkened, and he said speechlessly, "You call that decent?"
"Only some small fry died. Madara, when did your standards get so low?"
Black Zetsu quickly explained, "Obito, the enemy isn't stupid."
"Because of our threat, almost every Kage or leader brought many guards."
"The Five Kage are strong themselves, and they have numerous guards for protection and support."
"Most reanimated bodies don't have the will to fight yet. Achieving these results is already not bad."
The stronger the person, the more unwilling they were to be a pawn. Although they couldn't break free from control, they could still passively sabotage the effort based on instinct alone.
Hearing this, Obito Uchiha felt it made sense and nodded in agreement...
