Chapter 169: Konoha's Reaction 【77】
Chapter 169: Konoha's Reaction 【77】
Recounting Uchiha Madara's actions, Feng Ye couldn't help but sigh.
Rin hadn't died; Madara had saved her, and she had become the jinchuriki of Isobu, the Three-Tails. It seemed like a huge loss, but Obito had successfully descended into darkness.
This was the legendary—"You might gain a lot, but I'll never lose"?
However, Madara had likely expended tremendous effort to guide Obito's descent into darkness, especially after Feng Ye's reappearance in the ninja world and his certainty that Feng Ye would interfere with his plans.
"Hmph..."
Feng Ye scoffed.
In truth, Madara had already fallen from grace at this point.
The old Madara firmly believed that he alone could achieve anything, and he indeed possessed the strength to dominate the ninja world by himself. He never cared about having subordinates or pawns, boldly challenging Senju Hashirama to a duel in Konoha all on his own.
Although he narrowly lost to Hashirama, he ultimately outlived his rival by using Izanagi to deceive him and even survived far longer. Conversely, Hashirama rapidly aged after the battle due to the excessive drain on his life force.
From the outcome, one could argue that Madara had won that fateful battle.
However, after acquiring a part of Hashirama's flesh and awakening his Rinnegan, Madara, from that moment on, had fallen into Black Zetsu's trap and lost himself.
"..."
Kakashi and Rin approached with concerned looks on their faces. They were unsure of Obito's current state, but to them, he seemed half-crazed.
He had almost lost all sense of rationality and logical thinking.
"Big brother, what's wrong with Obito...?" Kakashi asked.
"The Obito you knew is gone," Feng Ye replied calmly. "The current Obito is incomplete; a part of him is under someone else's control, influenced by another's will."
Hearing this, Kakashi grit his teeth, and Rin anxiously clenched her fists. "What... what can we do to save Obito...?"
"If we can capture him, we should be able to solve the problem," Feng Ye said thoughtfully, scanning their surroundings. "Let's leave this place first."
...
As Feng Ye had expected, Madara had expended a great deal of effort to manipulate Obito's transformation and descent into darkness, especially after learning of Feng Ye's return to the ninja world and his intention to interfere with his plans.
Madara had used various methods to guide Obito, including genjutsu, and had implanted a curse seal in his heart and brain.
This was the reason Feng Ye had known from the start that something was amiss with Obito.
Whoosh!
White smoke appeared, and Obito materialized before Madara.
He was initially startled but quickly understood what had transpired. Suppressing his emotions, he looked at Madara and said in a low voice, "Tell me how to create the world of my dreams, Madara."
"Hmph..." Madara snorted, slightly displeased with Obito's arrogant attitude, though he was the one who had guided him to this point. The current Obito was almost half a product of his manipulation.
"No need to thank me," Madara said, looking at Obito. "But we must leave this place first. That Silver Flash kid is dangerous; it would be troublesome if he found us here."
"That guy..." Obito's expression turned gloomy as he experienced Feng Ye's power firsthand.
Just as Madara had once told him, Feng Ye was a ninja of this era, and to face him was to face the entire era!
That overwhelming pressure...
Uchiha Madara glanced at Obito.
Obito coldly returned Madara's gaze and replied, "No."
Madara said indifferently, "If it were you, there would be no need to fear his strength. Although he is a ninja of this era, he is not of the Uchiha or Senju clans. But you possess the combined power of Uchiha Madara and Senju."
"Do you know what the power of the Uchiha and Senju clans represents? Having both gives you access to the source of all ninja, the Sage of Six Paths!"
"I obtained these two powers after my battle with Hashirama, and many years later, I awakened the Rinnegan. Compared to that, his power is insignificant."
As Madara spoke, Obito's restless heart gradually calmed.
The scenes of their earlier battle that had been flashing through his mind, along with the oppressive feeling he had experienced from Feng Ye, slowly faded away.
Yes.
Although it had seemed that he was at a disadvantage in the fight against Feng Ye, he had only recently become a Chunin. Now, he had already reached a level where he could engage Feng Ye in battle!
With the legendary power of the Uchiha and Senju clans, it was only a matter of time before he could surpass Feng Ye as long as he learned to control these powers.
Just as Madara had said.
Dealing with Feng Ye was a trivial matter.
The true goal was to create a new world according to his own ideals.
...
As Madara and Obito changed locations, with Madara imparting all his knowledge to Obito, Feng Ye, on the other hand, had already returned to the Konoha camp with Rin and Kakashi.
The news of Rin becoming the jinchuriki of Isobu, the Three-Tails, shocked the Konoha higher-ups. They even debated whether to bring Rin back to the village or keep her under control outside, fearing that the Three-Tails might go berserk.
However, Feng Ye dismissed all these arguments with a single statement—he would be responsible for everything concerning Rin, and they should leave it to him.
As a hero of Konoha, having defeated the jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, slain the Third Raikage, and recently invaded Sunagakure to injure the Fourth Kazekage, his words carried significant weight.
A few days later.
Feng Ye returned to Konoha with Rin and Kakashi.
After a meeting of the Konoha higher-ups, several orders were issued.
Firstly, the matter of the Three-Tails jinchuriki was to be kept confidential until the situation was stable.
Secondly, Yahiko Rin was to be transferred from her original team and placed under Feng Ye's direct command.
Thirdly, Yahiko Rin was forbidden from acting independently and must stay by Feng Ye's side at all times, especially within Konoha. Failure to comply would result in her being treated as a dangerous person and immediately restrained.
"And that's it..."
Kakashi finished relaying the instructions he had received from Hiruzen Sarutobi to Rin and Feng Ye, who were sitting in the living room. He shrugged and said, "Now you two should be satisfied."
"Kakashi?!"
"Wh-what do you mean by satisfied...?"
Rin looked at Kakashi, a bit flustered.
Kakashi folded his arms across his chest and bent down slightly so that his eyes were level with Rin's as she sat on the sofa. "So, you're not happy about being confined to Big Brother's side?"
"Eh? Well, I..."
Rin stumbled over her words, unsure how to respond.
Feng Ye shot Kakashi an annoyed glance and gestured for him to leave. "Go buy some groceries!"
"..."
Kakashi's face fell.
