Chapter 231: The Tides of War

The shinobi world seemed to be heading towards stability.

"This is not what I wanted as a result!" Obito gritted his teeth.

For Obito, giving up the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan was impossible because of Rin.

Although he knew that peace was about to be achieved, he was forced to interrupt it.

"Fortunately, the shinobi world is not completely united yet, and I am already prepared!" Obito looked at Ten Tails behind him with excitement in his eyes.

The Ten-Tails was completely revived.

Of course, for now it was under Obito's control, but when it really started moving, there would be no hiding its presence.

And now...

"Madara, we need to be fully prepared." Black Zetsu was silent for a moment, and said: "The birth of the Ten-Tails will not go unnoticed, and it would be better to use all the Tailed Beasts for the Infinite Tsukuyomi, otherwise, it might not work..."

"Natsuo, is an enemy we cannot avoid!"

"I know." Obito nodded slightly, then frowned. "It's just that although I haven't fought against him, I also know that person is not easy to deal with..."

"I need some more time".

Obito narrowed his eyes. He planned to place numerous traps at the place where the Ten-Tails would appear to strengthen his power using those traps.

"Rasa used this strategy in the past and managed to stop Natsuo temporarily with his own abilities. With the Ten-Tails at my disposal, it should be easier!"

But Black Zetsu was a little flustered.

Although outside rumors claim that Rasa had used the terrain to his advantage and fought against Natsuo for a long time, he was defeated in the end.

But those were just rumors.

He had no idea what method could stop Natsuo.

Black Zetsu looked at the words 'Wood Release' on the intelligence reports, and his heart sank.

'The combination of Wood Release and Sharingan, the combination of Senju and Uchiha, plus his talent, could have reached the level of Uchiha Madara.'

'Just relying on Obito doesn't seem very reliable...' Black Zetsu mused. 'I should start preparing...'

...

When Akatsuki was making intensive preparations.

While Akatsuki was making final preparations. The influence of the Uchiha clan continued to gradually expand.

Initially, the Uchiha clan Family Meeting was only an internal meeting of the Uchiha clan, even if it could affect other powers it only moved the resources of the Uchiha clan.

However, one day, under Natsuo's direction, Tsunade brought an issue of Konoha's development to the Meeting and began discussing it openly, even organizing a vote.

Although Natsuo's wives remained silent for a moment, they finally voted in favor.

So is!

Natsuo was deliberately leading Konoha to come under the rule of the Uchiha clan and free itself from the restrictions of the Land of Fire or rather the Daimyo.

Clearly the Uchiha clan's Family Reunion would inevitably meddle in shinobi villages and national politics. This interference would only increase rather than decrease over time.

This will cause the Meeting to formally become the governing council of the entire shinobi world.

Which also meant unification.

Konoha has a large number of votes in the Family Gathering, giving it a significant advantage.

Tsunade wanted peace and, seeing Konoha's advantage, naturally supported Konoha being integrated under the jurisdiction of the Uchiha clan.

Natsuo's other wives were not stupid. They also watched Tsunade's movements.

But in the end they decided to support Tsunade's actions. Not just Konoha, but even some activities from Sunagakure and Iwagakure were brought to a vote by Temari and Kurotsuchi.

On the one hand they realized that this was Natsuo's intention. On the other hand, the right to vote was also theirs, which meant that their power was also growing.

Of course they would support the expansion of the Uchiha clan's Family Reunion!

Some senior officials in Iwagakure were unwilling to accept the Uchiha Clan's Family Meeting deciding the village's affairs, so they tried to resist. But the next day the Susanoo appeared in front of the Tsuchikage Residence. It wasn't Natsuo, it was Uchiha Itachi!

In reality, the power of the Uchiha clan's Family Gathering was very strong.

Tsunade, Mikoto, Konan, Ameyuri, Kushina, Mei among other wives of Natsuo.

They can also mobilize the Kage-level shinobi of the New Akatsuki.

Nagato, Yahiko, Itachi, Kakuzu, Sasuke and Kabuto, who was promoted to the Kage level after drinking many potions from the Revival series, in addition to Kakashi who had Hashirama cells transplanted to stabilize the Mangekyo...

This surpassed Akatsuki's original strength and was far beyond the weakened Iwagakure.

In the end Iwagakure decided to give in. After all, they were only interfering in unimportant issues, avoiding violent reaction from the Daimyo and other factions.

But everyone knew that this was part of the gradual process of the Uchiha clan's Family Reunion to gradually absorb the power of the shinobi villages, but they couldn't do anything.

"Damn evil Uchiha, he's going to completely complete Uchiha Madara's unfinished cause of unifying the shinobi world." Everyone cursed Natsuo. "And it is not achieved with military force, but... through marital alliances?"

...

Meanwhile, Obito was finally ready to act.

"Let's start!" Obito said vigorously, with confidence in his eyes.

He performed mudras with both hands.

The next second, the Ten-Tails' huge body appeared instantly.

"Roar!" A thunderous roar echoed in all directions.

"Now, let's see what you have prepared..." Obito said as he directed his gaze towards Konoha in the distance.

Yes, Obito's choice is to attack Konoha!

The giant Demonic Statue advanced with enormous steps, crossing the terrain step by step. Every step he took made the earth shake.

The impact was so great that it was hard to believe.

The trees under his feet broke like grass under a person's feet.

"What's going on?"

"It's an enemy attack!"

"Damn, it's the Akatsuki organization!"

The movement of the Demonic Statue was so strong that the Konoha shinobi immediately noticed it and immediately sent the information to the village.

"Did Obito and Ten Tails.....choose to attack Konoha?" Tsunade raised her head in a gesture of defiance and pride.

Uchiha Sasuke, who traveled over here, has already revealed the information of Obito, which naturally also includes the information of Ten Tails and Black Zetsu.

"Itachi, Nagato, Yahiko, Kakashi..." She mentioned the names of some high-level shinobi and said: "Let's go!"

For the upcoming battle, ordinary shinobi were no longer relevant. It is a feast that only top shinobi can participate in!

"Also, inform Natsuo! Tell him to come over!" Tsunade looked serious.

Natsuo is probably the only one who can solve this problem in the shinobi world now...

After all, both Naruto and Sasuke still had a long way to go to face this kind of elite battle.

...

When Tsunade arrived, there were already many Konoha Shinobi who ran forward desperately, trying to stop the Demonic Statue.

But it was evident that these ordinary shinobi couldn't stop the Demonic Statue even for a second.

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

The huge arm lashed out and all the Shinobi that were tens of meters away were sent flying, clearly dead on the spot.

"Obito! Stop!" Tsunade shouted furiously.

At the Demonic Statue, Obito paused and remained silent for a moment. Then, he slowly took off his mask.

"It seems that you all know it. It's strange. I remember that I obviously didn't show any flaws." Obito's voice was somewhat puzzled.

It was really Obito!

Kakashi's expression was complicated. He never expected that the leader of Akatsuki, the most powerful terrorist organization in the shinobi world, was actually his best friend!

Although when Tsunade took him to meet the Sasuke of the future and told him about Obito, he almost confirmed this fact, therefore he accepted the transplant of Hashirama's cells and began to work hard again, finally reaching the Kage level.

But he still couldn't believe that the kind Obito had become what he was now.

'Is it for Rin...' Kakashi wondered silently.

Tsunade, on the other hand, shouted: "This is Konoha, the place where you were born and raised. Why are you doing this Obito?!"

"There is no need to speak further, Fifth Hokage." Obito spoke indifferently. "If Konoha hands over the Nine-Tails, I can forgive them and ensure a happy life for them."

"That's impossible!" Tsunade said without hesitation. "What's the point of living in an illusory world?"

"Obito, I need to tell you something..." Tsunade said, looking at Black Zetsu. "The Black Zetsu accompanying you is not the will of Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara has also been deceived!"

"He is the child of Otsutsuki Kaguya, the purpose is to use your body to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi and release Otsutsuki Kaguya!"

Tsunade then revealed all the information that the future Sasuke had told her about the fight between the sage of the Six Paths, his brother, and Kaguya.

'Does she really know?!' Black Zetsu's pupils shrank, but his posture remained the same.

What Black Zetsu hated most was having his existence revealed, as it would devastatingly affect his plan to free his mother.

Suddenly, he tensed, preparing to escape at any moment. Having hidden for a thousand years, he was not willing to bet everything on one move. Because once he failed, his mother would be trapped forever.
