Chapter 241: My Surname is Uchiha, Isn't It Reasonable to Receive the Ancestral Legacy?
White Zetsu!
Finally, he appeared and rescued Obito, who was half-buried under rocks, from underground.
Swoosh, Swoosh!
Tang Ping and Hyuga Cangyue immediately followed.
Since the Rinnegan has undergone four awakenings, there have been significant improvements in various aspects, so it’s no longer like the early days when it was almost impossible to detect White Zetsu.
As long as the target is in motion, they can track them within a kilometer.
If the target is stationary, they might need to observe carefully within a few hundred meters to detect them.
And with Obito as a ‘coordinate,’ Hyuga Cangyue can lock onto the target from several kilometers away.
Along the way,
they followed White Zetsu to a mountainous area in the Land of Hot Water.
The Mountain Graveyard!
It should be here.
Tang Ping originally thought it would be in the Land of Grass, but didn’t expect it to be here. No wonder they couldn’t find it.
Surprisingly, there seems to be a mysterious force here that prevents Hyuga Cangyue’s Rinnegan from detecting any abnormalities.
‘Is this the effect of the Shinju?’
Tang Ping remembers clearly from the report that the Mountain Graveyard contains remnants of the Shinju, which can influence the Rinnegan, so it’s not surprising.
“Do we go in?”
Hyuga Cangyue asked.
The Rinnegan can’t see inside, so to investigate, they would have to enter personally.
“No, we’ll just keep watch here!”
Tang Ping ultimately refused.
Because he knows the key lies with Obito. As long as they keep an eye on him, they won’t miss the subsequent events.
This time, his goal in searching for the Mountain Graveyard isn’t to disrupt Madara’s plans but to prepare for receiving the ‘legacy’ later.
There are plenty of valuable things here!
Aside from the numerous White Zetsus, there are remnants of the Shinju, the Uchiha treasure, the black rod, and Yin-Yang Release knowledge, among other things.
All of these are things that make Tang Ping drool.
Even if he doesn’t intend to alter the plot, it doesn’t mean he can’t take advantage of the situation.
Once Madara uses the ‘Eye of the Moon’ plan to brainwash Obito and exits the stage, he can come and take a wave of the legacy.
After all, Tang Ping considers himself an ‘Uchiha,’ so taking back the ancestral legacy is entirely justified.
As for the Yin-Yang Release and other things, they are just the interest.
Treasure!
The Mountain Graveyard is a perfect unclaimed treasure.
Unfortunately, they have to wait until Madara is completely out of the picture before they can retrieve their ‘legacy.’
The two of them thus stood guard outside the Mountain Graveyard.
Meanwhile, the situation in the Shinobi World was rapidly changing.
First, the Kannabi Bridge was successfully destroyed by Minato Namikaze.
The Stone Shinobi Army, which had penetrated deep into the Land of Fire, had to retreat reluctantly due to significant logistical issues.
However, they claimed that if it weren’t for the logistical problems, they could have captured Konoha and the Third Hokage.
In reality,
the destruction of the Kannabi Bridge was a deliberate move by Daido and the higher-ups of Hidden Stone Village.
Otherwise, how could they not send strong protectors to defend it?
It can be said that Daido went to great lengths to give Konoha this opportunity.
With this, the Stone Shinobi Army had an excuse to withdraw from the Shinobi World War.
It could be said that they lost face but preserved their strength, preventing Hidden Stone Village from suffering significant losses.
As a result, the Shinobi World War now only involved Hidden Sand Village and Konoha.
Hidden Mist Village remained in chaos.
Even though the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karashi, successfully ascended, there were many who did not support him, including former Seven Swordsmen of the Mist like Raikiri Kuroya and Tenzo Tenzou, who directly defected.
Many other shinobi clans also rebelled.
Under these circumstances, even without an official announcement, Hidden Mist Village had no chance of participating in the Shinobi World War.
Thus, Konoha’s only remaining enemy was Hidden Sand Village, which was enjoying a good life.
But now, the good times for the Sand Shinobi were coming to an end.
Initially, they could occupy large areas of Konoha because Konoha was under siege.
Now, with only one opponent left to face Konoha, the outcome is predictable.
So, the Sand Shinobi were desperately transporting the loot back to the Land of Wind while also gathering forces to attack Mount Kikyo.
Attack as Defense!
Force Konoha to have no chance to obstruct the pillaging and transportation.
In this situation, Tang Ping, the commander of the Southwest Shinobi Army, naturally received the combat orders, but he was still leisurely staring at the Mountain Graveyard.
Compared to blocking attacks for Konoha, watching the show was what he truly wanted to do.
After all, there was no need to worry about the Sand Shinobi breaking through Mount Kikyo.
Now, with his hands free, Konoha had plenty of combat strength, so even if he, the commander of the Southwest Shinobi Army, didn't act, it wouldn't be impossible to repel the Sand Shinobi.
Back then, the village kicked him to Tian Shou Pavilion, and now that there was trouble, they wanted him to go back and block the attacks.
If it weren't for the time not being right to completely break ties, Tang Ping would have asked them,
"Are you being polite?"
Since the higher-ups already thought he was 'full of rebellious bones,' having some problems would be quite normal, wouldn't it?
Thus, half of the Southwest Shinobi Army stationed at Tian Shou Pavilion indeed followed the village's orders and moved to reinforce Mount Kikyo, but Tang Ping, the commander, 'fell ill' and didn't go.
Even Yamakai Koji, the 'Storm's Wrath,' also 'fell ill.'
Anyway, those who understood the truth knew, and those who didn't didn't need to be told.
Back then, Tian Shou Pavilion couldn't do without half of the Southwest Shinobi Army, as they needed to clear out River Country and protect the Tian Shou Pavilion area.
But now, things were different.
Just the directly subordinate shinobi already numbered over five hundred.
Among them, nearly half were Uchiha, whose combat strength was not top-notch but was more than enough to handle lower ranks. Therefore, they weren't afraid that half of the Southwest Shinobi Army leaving would lead to a weakened defense.
Amidst the changes outside, Tang Ping and his team had been waiting for over half a month, and finally saw Obito.
At this moment, Obito's entire body was wrapped in White Zetsu, with only his head exposed, and he was wearing a black uniform.
"Tch, do you really think you're a 'Sect Saintess,' mimicking pretty girls walking barefoot? Do you have the looks for it, or are you afraid of stepping on thorns...?"
Tang Ping muttered, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.
Yes, he indeed disliked the white-eyed wolf, the love-struck brain, but he also pitied his fate.
Being completely manipulated by others.
And for Tang Ping himself, this wasn't also a reminder?
Of just how deep the waters of the shinobi world were.
The two of them followed Obito from a distance, watching him rush towards the southern seaside.
On the other side!
"Circle, did you say Rin and Kakashi are in danger, is that true?"
Obito asked the White Zetsu enveloping him.
"Yes, I seem to have heard something about test subjects... and Mist Shinobi Anbu!"
The White Zetsu enveloping Obito slowly responded, sounding a bit dimwitted.
"Where is Teacher Minato?"
Obito asked.
But the response was that he was on a mission.
"Again..."
A hint of resentment flashed in his mind.
Last time it was like this, and this time it was the same. Even if he was the 'Fastest in the Shinobi World,' what good did it do if he couldn't make it in time for the crucial moment?
In fact, Obito didn't think about it.
Minato Namikaze was a Kage-level ninja, a key figure in the village's cultivation, not their nanny. How could he possibly revolve around his disciples?
It was fine to give some guidance occasionally, but how could he possibly accompany his disciples on every mission?
Wearing the White Zetsu, Obito's abilities had qualitatively improved, his speed comparable to a Jonin's Body Flicker Technique.
The key was his endurance, which was incredibly impressive. Even after rushing for over an hour without stopping, he showed no signs of fatigue.
By now, it was dusk, and the surroundings had turned into a small seaside forest.
Swish, swish!
The sky suddenly started drizzling.
No!
It wasn't rain, but seawater splashed up by the battle.
"Almost there, Rin, Kakashi, wait for me!"
Obito excitedly sped up.
But at this moment, he felt his right eye showing him a vision.
As if Rin's heart was being pierced by Kakashi.
Whoosh!
Soon, Obito passed through the forest and arrived at the seaside cliff, clearly seeing the battle situation.
In an instant, he felt as if he was seeing hell.
