Chapter 49: Dissolution of Root

The distinctive attire of the Akatsuki consisting of black cloaks with red clouds, a red interior, and a chin-high collar, adorned with a swirl-patterned orange mask, exuded a chilling aura, causing shivers down the spine.

"Just as sharp as Itachi described."

"Haha, let me introduce myself first."

"I am Uchiha Madara!"

Anyone familiar with the name Uchiha Madara would immediately pale at the mention of it.

He was a powerful ninja from the Warring States period, also one of the founders of Konoha. 

The only one who could stand against him was the First Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju.

He was a legendary figure.

Ryujiro's expression remained unchanged upon seeing Obito, he assumed Ryujiro was too stunned to say anything.

However, in that instant, Ryujiro couldn't help but chuckle.

Suddenly, the cold aura coming from Obito intensified, and his gaze towards Ryujiro grew colder.

"What do you mean by that?"

Ryujiro looked disdainfully at Obito and said lightly, "Nothing much. If you were truly Uchiha Madara, I might not have laughed out loud."

"You're just hiding your weakness behind the name of Uchiha Madara. Do you think you're powerful enough now to control everything?"

"Right now, you're just a puppet under Uchiha Madara."

"Uchiha Obito."

In an instant, the terrifying killing intent emanating from Obito surged towards Ryujiro like a black tide.

Obito's gaze became solemn. "You know my identity."

"Who are you exactly!"

Someone young like Ryujiro couldn't possibly know his identity. 

Could Ryujiro be someone who survived from another era, perhaps due to some forbidden jutsu that reversed aging?

"Is your identity hard to guess?"

"Uchiha Madara is a figure from the Warring States period. It was he who, despite his strength and strangeness, could not escape the laws of nature, which dictate that one day he will age and die."

"And if you really are Uchiha Madara...."

"With his arrogant personality, I doubt he would approach me so calmly."

"As for your identity...."

"There is nothing in the entire ninja world that I don't know."

Obito's eyes suddenly contracted, and his gaze towards Ryujiro became more serious.

Indeed, this guy was as mysterious as Itachi described. However, he didn't take Ryujiro's words to heart. 

The ninja world was so vast that even Madara had many things he couldn't comprehend.

In his eyes, Ryujiro was just trying to assert his dominance.

"I didn't expect such a monster to be born in this era," Obito said in a deep voice.

Ryujiro chuckled lightly, "If we talk about monsters, I think you should be the one. You're neither human nor ghost now. And now you want to fight me?"

Such provocation undoubtedly trampled on Obito's pride, but he forcefully suppressed his killing intent.

For so many years, no one had dared to speak to him like this.

He was no longer the weak Obito. Now, he had the power to change the world.

That plan....

Could reunite him with Rin.

Obito's figure slowly disappeared from the rooftop, as if he had become invisible without leaving a body.

But the next moment, the disappeared Obito suddenly appeared behind Ryujiro.

Obito's Sharingan spun, and a tremendous suction force attempted to pull Ryujiro into another dimension. 

But how could Ryujiro not know Obito's abilities? Without saying a word, he used Body Flicker Jutsu and appeared in another corner of the rooftop.

This action shook Obito once again. He looked at Ryujiro with a gloomy gaze. "Do you know my abilities?"

"I said, there's nothing in the ninja world that I don't know. Naturally, I know your abilities," Ryujiro said lightly with a smile.

Obito's gaze darkened as he scrutinized Ryujiro. "I'll remember you, Ryujiro. Next time, you'll die by my hands."

"Haha, I'll be looking forward to it."

Facing Obito's threat, Ryujiro showed no fear, even a hint of amusement. After all, even after Madara's death, Obito couldn't escape his control.

Looking at the faint smile on Ryujiro's lips, Obito's body trembled visibly.

But in the end, Obito suppressed the urge to attack Ryujiro. 

Ryujiro was too mysterious. Not only did he know his identity, but he also knew about his Sharingan abilities.

Those who didn't reveal their hand were always the most terrifying.

The space around Obito began to distort, forming a vortex, with Obito's Sharingan as the center point, exerting a powerful suction force, pulling Obito's body into another dimension.

Night returned to its usual tranquility.

Obito had left. Within the range of Ryujiro's Observation Haki, there was no trace of Obito's presence.

Although Ryujiro didn't regard Obito highly, Obito's strength was unquestionable. Even if Ryujiro wanted to deal with Obito, it wouldn't be easy.

The abilities of his Mangekyo Sharingan and Genjutsu would affect Ryujiro's strength. If Ryujiro wanted to kill Obito, he must be sure to strike with a single blow.

Even though his strength had reached the Kage level, there were still many unknown abilities in the ninja world that posed a threat to Ryujiro.

The progress of unlocking the templates must be accelerated.

He had to unlock the second template immediately, preferably a character template from a dimension other than the Naruto world.

If he continued to pursue the pinnacle of swordsmanship like someone on the level of Mihawk, it wouldn't be beneficial for Ryujiro. 

At least in other aspects, Ryujiro hoped the second template could bring him some additional abilities.

-------------------------------------

Shortly afterward, the position of the Fifth Hokage was also confirmed, even if Danzo opposed it, it was of no avail.

One of Tsunade's first actions as the Fifth Hokage was to dissolve Danzo's Root. Tsunade was well aware.

Danzo said it was all for the sake of Konoha, but in reality, they were only for his own ambition. Tsunade was well aware of how many dirty deeds Danzo had done behind her back.

The dissolution of Root completely diluted Danzo's power. Of course, Tsunade didn't know what crazy things Danzo, who had been forced into a corner, would do.

Ryujiro arrived at the Hokage's office and pushed open the door, seeing Shizune's helpless expression.

At this moment, Tsunade had her feet on the desk, looking nothing like a Hokage, especially with her two mountains at another angle, fully showing their enormous shape.

Shizune said helplessly, "Lady Tsunade, Jonin Ryujiro is here."

She naively thought that Lady Tsunade would pay more attention to her image after becoming Hokage, but it seemed she was still too young.
