Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: Run, Hiruzen, Run!

Amegakure.

[Boom!!!]

"Shinra Tensei!"

With a resounding cry from Nagato, a gigantic shockwave was unleashed from his body, spreading in all directions like an unstoppable storm.

When the storm stopped, Obito slowly emerged from the ground and looked at Nagato coldly.

"Nagato, what do you want to do?"

"Nothing!" Nagato said coldly: "We should focus on the tailed beasts and not get involved in other things."

Obito said coldly: "Uchiha Funan is an uncontrollable factor and needs to be eliminated."

"What about me?" Nagato said bluntly: "Am I also uncontrollable? Do I also need to be eliminated?"

Obito stared at Nagato with his one eye. "Nagato, do you really want to stop me?"

Nagato stared at Obito without retreating an inch.

"Yes," he replied firmly. "We're only missing one more tailed beast. Find it quickly. I already have information on the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails. The last tailed beast is your responsibility."

Obito looked at Nagato coldly, revealing a hint of killing intent.

He really wanted to activate Uchiha Madara's back-up and kill Nagato!

However, there was something holding him back.

Otherwise, he would have dealt with Nagato long ago and then cooperated with Onoki and others to deal with Funan.

Several seconds of tense silence passed. Finally, Obito dispelled the malice in his gaze and replied, "Alright. I'll go capture the Eight-Tails."

"Hmph!" Nagato snorted coldly and turned away.

"Nagato! No, I should call you Pain..." Obito said, stopping him with a slow but meaningful tone. "The Eye of the Moon Plan will go ahead without a hitch, right?"

Pain stopped and looked at Obito directly. "If you don't make any mistakes, the plan will go ahead." he replied in a deep voice.

...

The Eight-Tails is no longer in Kumogakure, but on the Island Turtle.

They are already one step away from their goal, and Nagato cannot have any accidents.

This was what Zetsu advised Obito.

He tried to persuade him not to provoke Nagato at this critical moment, as any conflict could ruin the plans.

Once Nagato and Obito fall out, no matter who wins in the end, it will not be a real victory.

Although Obito, with Madara's resources and legacy, had a better chance of emerging victorious.

But Black Zetsu had his own problems as well. 'Damn it, all the tailed beasts needed to revive the Ten-Tails have been reduced to mere fragments of chakra.'

'The question is, will it be enough to activate the Ten-Tails' body?'

'Mom, will you have any problems?'

Black Zetsu wants to cry but has no tears.

It all depends on chakra. Whether he can revive his mother is really a big question mark in his mind.

"I understand!" Obito gritted his teeth. He just wanted to plot against Funan.

He has suffered too much at the hands of Funan. He was going crazy thinking about revenge.

"Let's go and catch the Eight-Tails!" Obito's eyes shone with dark intent.

"By the way, your eye..." Black Zetsu looked at Obito suspiciously and said, "Your other eye..."

"I was fooled!" Obito said in a cold voice, "Kakashi's Sharingan is not my eye, it must have been Uchiha Funan's doing, you damn bastard, he replaced my eye!"

He was fooled by Uchiha Funan again, which was also one of the reasons why he lost control.

However, compared to all that, there was something that worried him even more.

Kakashi's Sharingan was replaced, which meant that Uchiha Funan had known his identity for a long time.

Obito was even a little scared.

Black Zetsu was silent too.

If Uchiha Funan knew who Obito was, could he know about him himself?

Is his secret still a secret in front of Uchiha Funan?

Where did this bastard come from?

Although his secret is unlikely to be exposed, if it is exposed, it will be a big deal.

Mom, there is absolutely no way to revive.

Black Zetsu needs to make further preparations.

...

The Shinobi World War broke out again.

Different from the last time.

This time, Konoha has the advantage in terms of numbers.

Of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Kirigakure and Sunagakure were on Konoha's side.

Once again, all eyes were focused on Konoha.

At this moment, Uchiha Funan was calmly walking through the streets of Konoha.

He had a clear goal: to solve Konoha's only internal problem.

Sarutobi Hiruzen!

During this last attack on Konoha, although Hiruzen had not directly confronted Funan, he had clearly intervened.

...

In front of the Sarutobi Clan Residence.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary property, but what was terrifying was its enormous size.

Although it was technically a simple residence, behind it stretched a series of tall buildings densely packed together, resembling a small town.

At the front was Sarutobi Hiruzen's house; behind it, rows and rows of dwellings housed the rest of the clan.

At this moment, the surroundings are very quiet, without any sound.

The members of the Sarutobi clan seem to have disappeared.

That, of course, was impossible.

However, one thing was clear: According to Funan's perception, many eyes were fixed on him.

There is hatred!

There is fear!

There is confusion!

Funan ignored those people. He knew that once he eliminated Hiruzen, the fate of all those clan members would be sealed.

He walked steadily towards Hiruzen's residence.

At the door, two old men were leisurely drinking tea.

Funan was surprised and a little amused.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you seem to be quite relaxed. And you, Shimura Danzo, when did you return? Also..."

He stopped, looking at the two with a mixture of mockery and disdain. "Two shadow clones? Where are their real bodies? Did they run away?"

Hiruzen sighed deeply, his face covered in wrinkles and his hair graying. "What other choice do we have when faced with you, Uchiha Funan? If we don't flee, only death awaits us."

Funan looked at him indifferently. "So you abandoned your clan to save your own skin."

Hiruzen's face turned gloomy. "Uchiha Funan, if you dare to hurt my clan members, I promise I will make you regret it."

Funan smiled in amusement. "Regret? Sarutobi Hiruzen, you're almost seventy years old. How much strength do you have left? What can you do? If I activate my Susanoo and stand here without moving, do you think you could kill me?"

He looked at Danzo and said, "The same goes for you, Danzo, you're only a few years younger than Hiruzen. Even if you have Hashirama's cells, how long can you last? Even Hashirama died."

"There are at least five people in my Uchiha clan who are stronger than you now."

"Jiraiya and Tsunade are also stronger than you, and they can definitely take on the task of hunting you down."

This sentence made Hiruzen completely lose his composure.

He panted and stared at Funan. "You are despicable!"

"Despicable? How much? More than what you did to the Uchiha?" Funan replied with a calm smile.

The tone of his voice was mocking as he continued, "Just as well. In the end, facing you might have been troublesome, but now that you yourself have fled and become a missing-nin, you no longer pose a threat."

"I will issue an order to the whole shinobi world to arrest you."

"Just wait, Sarutobi Hiruzen, I will kill you sooner or later, you will never get away!"

"We'll see about that, damn Uchiha." Danzo replied coldly, "This village will return to the right path, I assure you."

"Oh, really? Has the village strayed from the right path?" Funan laughed, but her smile was filled with deep malice. "During the recent war, Orochimaru used Impure World Reincarnation to summon the First and Second Hokage. Why didn't you take the opportunity to visit them? Perhaps you could have told them your grievances."

The teacup in Hiruzen's hands fell to the ground, spilling its contents.

The expression on Danzo's face also froze.

During that battle, both had planned to secretly attack Funan.

But the moment they saw their sensei, they lost all their courage.

They ran away in embarrassment.

How could they face their sensei?

What could they say to him?

And most importantly, what would he think of them?

"Enough! Let's not talk about it anymore!" Funan calmly clapped his hands and declared, "I'm going to take a walk around here. I might find someone interesting. If I see someone who catches my eye, I'll take him or her. My lab needs more experimental subjects."

"Uchiha Funan!" Hiruzen roared in rage. "You dare to use my clan members as experimental subjects?"

"Why not?" Funan raised an eyebrow, genuinely intrigued. "Haven't you used the Uchiha for experiments? And not just the Uchiha. The Senju clan as well. Hiruzen, I must applaud you for this. You even dared to use your own sensei's body."

"You... you…" Hiruzen was livid, speechless.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

Turning to Danzo, who seemed to want to interrupt, he added, "Ah, Danzo-sama, you don't need to justify yourself. I understand everything. All of that was for Konoha, wasn't it?"

Danzo felt suffocated.

"Well, see you later." Funan waved nonchalantly, turning to leave.

"Stop!"

Hiruzen roared again and charged towards Funan.

Danzo followed close behind.

Without even looking back, two Uchiha jonin appeared out of nowhere.

Both of them began to fight against the shadow clones of Hiruzen and Danzo.

Funan watched the scene with a smile and walked away calmly.

Not long after, Funan emerged from a building carrying a child with him.

Hiruzen was furious when he saw the child.

Konohamaru!
