Chapter 170 - Chapter 170: Who is the Enemy, Who is the Friend

White Zetsu saw Obito showing signs of anger, chuckled, and quickly shut his mouth. Black Zetsu remained silent, a glimmer in his eyes.

'Izanagi' can reverse reality, restoring one's body to the state it was in when the eye power was used.

This means that if Obito used this technique, it would restore not only his pierced heart, but also the curse mark Madara left on his heart.

Whether it was because he didn't react in time, or he did it on purpose, Obito has now gotten rid of Uchiha Madara's control.

Of course, that's what Obito thinks.

Black Zetsu glanced at White Zetsu, who had turned into a liquid, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Actually, Madara or Obito, as long as they can carry out the 'Eye of the Moon' plan, he doesn't mind. But all along, Obito's enthusiasm seems to be lacking, and instead he's been making trouble all over the ninja world.

Tsk... Let's see what he does after 'escaping' his restraints.

Black Zetsu was expressionless, seemingly unaware, looking dull. In contrast, White Zetsu, the other half, was much more lively.

It saw Obito stand up from the white liquid and asked, puzzled, "Your injuries haven't fully healed, what are you going to do?"

Obito glanced at Zetsu and said, "I'm going to Konoha again."

Although Zetsu's ability to gather information is the best in the ninja world, it is limited by its own strength, and can only rely on the five senses to obtain the most surface-level information.

But those secret plots that people are reluctant to talk about are a bit beyond him, and he needs to collect them himself.

The things that happened in Konoha, Orochimaru, and the Kumogakure delegation, although they seem reasonable to outsiders, Obito doesn't think so.

He controlled Guroya to only capture Hinata, but he didn't encounter any Branch family Hyuga Neji.

White Zetsu exclaimed, "Aren't you afraid this is Orochimaru's scheme to lure you in?"

He just failed in Konoha, and now he's rushing over again. Should we say he's brave, or reckless?

Before figuring out Orochimaru's sensing ability, it thought Obito would avoid Obito.

"That's impossible."

Obito said firmly, "Even if Orochimaru isn't sure if I'm dead, he will definitely believe I'm seriously injured."

This is still overestimating Orochimaru. Generally speaking, ordinary ninjas can be 100% sure of the enemy's death after piercing their heart.

Before Orochimaru finds out about his existence again, this period of time is an excellent opportunity, because the other party has no defense at all.

"Then good luck."

White Zetsu said, and then sank into the ground. Ordinary White Zetsu clones can't do this kind of thing quietly, he needs to do it himself to avoid leaving any traces.

Obito took out a mask and clothes from a scroll and put them on. The commas in his eyes spun rapidly, and his body disappeared into a distorted vortex.

The underground stone cave was silent again, and empty once more.

...

Land of Thunder, Kumogakure, Raikage conference room.

"We just received news that Torui is missing."

The Fourth Raikage looked around and said in a deep voice, "Right when we were arguing about whether Konoha's reminder was true or false."

The meeting was silent for a moment, followed by an uproar.

Yugito, who had a deep prejudice against Konoha due to many wars, immediately said,...

"This is very likely a conspiracy by Konoha. They don't want to bear the consequences of 'Guroya's' death, so they're trying to slander the village."

It's understandable to think this way, after all, Orochimaru came to negotiate peace, but he was two-faced.

On the surface, he shouted that the Kumogakure delegation was plotting to steal eye skills and bloodlines, and destroyed his disciple's Byakugan. Behind the scenes, Konoha sent a secret letter saying that Guroya was controlled by a genjutsu, and the current situation was due to someone provoking him.

Kumogakure naturally lacks trust in Konoha. In comparison, they trust the information sent back by the peace negotiation team more.

And they said that 'Guroya' knew that the village would suffer a great loss if it signed a peace agreement under Konoha's pressure, so he sacrificed himself to avoid losses for the village.

How 'Guroya' did it is not important, but without a doubt, he did a good job, putting Konoha in a disadvantageous position.

Several martial arts faction ninjas also nodded and echoed, thinking that 'Torui's disappearance' was suspicious, and it was likely a trick played by Konoha to reverse the situation.

The Fourth Raikage waved his hand, suppressing the noisy atmosphere in the conference room, and turned to look at the middle-aged man who had been silent on his right hand, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think about this?"

Dodai pressed the eye patch on his left eye socket and said in a deep voice, "I think what Konoha said is likely not a lie."

As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked, their eyes flickering, but they didn't rashly refute it.

Dodai is the Raikage's deputy, known for his wisdom. He has now assisted two generations of Raikage. He doesn't speak easily, but no one dares to ignore what he says.

The Fourth Raikage also frowned, "What evidence do you have?"

"It's not evidence, it's just that if Konoha had the ability to easily make one of the village's elders disappear, they could have created a greater advantage."

Dodai looked around at the crowd, "Instead of getting covered in mud like now."

"Do you really think Guroya was controlled by genjutsu?"

Yugito frowned, a little indignant, "But if we admit what Konoha said, wouldn't Guroya have died in vain?"

"I didn't say that, there's too little information now to make such a judgment."

Dodai shook his head, "Whether Guroya was controlled, or he made a deal with someone in Konoha for the sake of Kumogakure... there are many possibilities, but there is no doubt that there must be a third party besides Konoha and Kumogakure."

"Because with Guroya's ability alone, it's impossible to sneak into a wealthy ninja clan he knows nothing about, especially a sensory eye skill ninja clan like the Hyuga."

"Can he? He can't do it, Guroya doesn't have that ability!"

Everyone present looked at each other, exchanging glances, and were speechless, having to admit that Dodai was right.

Not just Guroya, there wasn't a ninja who could silently infiltrate the Hyuga family and turn Kumogakure upside down.

"But..."

Saying that, Dodai suddenly changed the subject, "The truth is actually irrelevant. The current situation is beneficial to the village. Whether or not to admit what Konoha said depends on who our enemy is at this time? Is it Konoha? Or that mysterious third party?"

"This..."

Yugito looked thoughtful. According to Dodai, 'Torui's disappearance' was likely a silencing by a third party. They were of course furious about this, but as far as it seems, Kumogakure's biggest enemy has not changed.

The Fourth Raikage closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. He opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "This time, Konoha's peace negotiation team is led by Orochimaru himself. The negotiation location is not in the Land of Hot Water or the Land of Frost, but in Kumogakure."

"Let's ignore the third party forces for now, gather the village's strength, and take the opportunity to eliminate Orochimaru, removing this hidden danger for Kumogakure."
