I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Under the dim sky, the border of the Rain Kingdom was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, as if nature had deliberately cast a mysterious veil over the impending changes.

"Obito, you must act immediately and take back Kakashi's eye. Nagato has completely lost control. From what he saw just now, he has completely fallen to Uchiha Ye Lan."

Black Zetsu followed Obito closely, and his voice rang in Obito's ears.

At this time, the two were hurriedly traveling through the border area of ​​the Rain Country.

"who!"

A loud shout was heard, and a team of patrolling Rain Ninja discovered the two mysterious figures. They quickly gathered together and were about to surround the two men.

Obito's eyes flickered in the night, revealing a cold look.

"Stay out of the way!"

Obito growled and waved his right hand lightly. At this moment, he was no longer afraid of being exposed. Countless sharp wooden thorns swept out and instantly knocked to the ground those ninjas who tried to stop them.

The wooden thorns pierced their bodies, leaving behind strings of blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

As if everything that just happened was just a trivial matter, Obito was silent for a while and then continued.

"I know. When the opportunity is right, I will definitely take Kakashi's eye back."

Obito originally thought that he would never take back what he gave away, and he had his own pride, but now, facing Nagato's loss of control and Uchiha Yalan's threat, he had to compromise.

Seeing that Obito was not as stubborn as before, Black Zetsu couldn't help but feel relieved. He was afraid that Obito would hesitate at the critical moment.

After this threat from Ye Lan, Obito finally put aside his pride, which made him feel a little comforted.

"Next, we just need to wait patiently for the opportunity to come. Fortunately, it seems that Nagato's plan to collect the tailed beasts has not been completed yet. We can use this time to plan the next action."

Obito remained silent and put on his iconic mask again. He had several masks like this, hiding his face and emotions.

However, when he recalled every confrontation with Uchiha Ye Lan, he felt extremely embarrassed, especially Ye Lan's verbal counterattacks and ridicules, which made the hatred in his heart uncontrollable like a wildfire.

"I will prove that I am right..."

Obito's voice became low again as he put on the mask. He decided not to play the clown anymore and be his original self.

After completely leaving the Rain Country, the somewhat confused Black Zetsu didn't know where to go, so the two of them began to stop.

Obito thought for a moment, then turned to look at Black Zetsu and said slowly.

"How about we go find Orochimaru..."

...

"Is the matter resolved?"

Tiandao slowly pushed open the door of the room and asked Ye Lan who was standing at the entrance of the cave.

Ye Lan closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"No, the entanglement behind this seems to be more complicated than I originally thought. But the identity of that person has been confirmed to be Uchiha Obito."

"Obito?"

Tiandao frowned and thought hard. He had never heard of this name in the ninja world. This name was too unfamiliar to him.

How could a Rain Ninja like him watch the story of two Sharingan heroes?

"He is just a clown performing hard on the stage."

Ye Lan was not surprised to see Tiandao's look.

"The invisible curtain behind him may be hiding an even bigger shadow."

There is an unspoken meaning revealed in Ye Lan's words. You must know that Obito is much younger than Tendo and others. The Akatsuki organization was born during the Second Ninja World War, and Obito was promoted to Chunin at the end of the Third War.

What is puzzling is that Tendo said that the secret of the Outer Path Demon Statue's ability to devour the tailed beasts was told to him by Obito. How did Obito know this at his age? There must be someone behind him pushing all this.

Ye Lan couldn't help but think of the mysterious humanoid creature, Black Zetsu. The guy who was always watching from the dark didn't seem to have much power. Could it be that he was fueling the flames?

No matter how crazy and twisted Obito's words are, it can be seen from his words that Obito's desire for peace is real, but his actions are different from those of the Way of Heaven.

He is also very concerned about the plan to capture the tailed beasts. Although he is suspected of revenge for Rin, the three-tail is indeed controlled by him.

The two fell into a long silence. Ye Lan's thoughts were as unpredictable as the surging sea of ​​clouds. He tried to find clues to the answer from every detail.

But in the end, Ye Lan shook his head helplessly. He couldn't imagine Obito's ultimate goal and the driving force behind it.

"What are your plans next?"

Seeing that Ye Lan stopped thinking, Tiandao asked.

“Achieving unity is by no means easy. It requires not empty words but careful planning and solid actions.”

Ye Lan said casually, picked up a book on the ground and gently brushed off the dust.

"Give me some time. I will write down a series of detailed strategies and plans, and let the angels transform the village according to the situation."

When mentioning the name Xiaonan, a hint of amusement appeared at the corner of Ye Lan's mouth.

"Okay, let's do as you think, but the Tailed Beast Plan must be implemented in two years."

Tiandao's tone was firm. No matter what the decision was, the plan to revive the Outer Path Golem must not fail.

"So anxious? Actually, we can slow down the plan a bit..."

Ye Lan was a little surprised. No matter how good a policy is, it needs time to take shape. This short period of time probably won't do anything to improve it.

In Ye Lan's opinion, slow development is the right way to go, and Nagato's anxiety was a little unexpected to him.

"There's no point in questioning this."

Tiandao did not explain. He understood that it might be better if the time was longer, but could his body really last until that time?

Ye Lan did not refute again. He understood that Tiandao had already made concessions in the matter of expelling Itachi and Obito, and he should not push his luck too far.

Tiandao turned around and was about to leave, but stopped at the moment he was about to leave. He walked to the door, thought of something, and spoke in a low voice.

"Sasuke is back. I plan to team him up with Kisame and have them carry out missions together..."

Ye Lan was a little stunned when he heard this, he sneered and waved his hand.

"You are the leader, you are the one who arranges this kind of thing."

Tiandao nodded without saying anything else and left the room.

Ye Lan shook his head after seeing Tian Dao leave, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "It seems that he is also a fool who easily trusts others."

夜晚

There is no bustling night market in Yuyin. The streets have become extremely quiet and most of the lights have been turned off.

Only one light was still shining.

Ye Lan rubbed his sore wrist. He was a little uncomfortable as he hadn't written for a long time.

As a Blue Star person who knows a little bit about everything, I can only express my ideas on paper as much as possible. As for how to implement them, it depends on the "Angel".

A dark shadow appeared behind Ye Lan, but he seemed unaware.

Ye Lan didn't open his mouth until the black shadow gradually approached.

"You're back? How's everything going?"

The black shadow walked under the light, and his gentle face emerged, it was Uchiha Shisui.

"As you expected, Itachi will use that Kotoamatsukami in the end."

Shisui rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile.

"It's really sad that he transferred the family's twisted expectations of him to Sasuke..."

Ye Lan sighed and didn't want to talk about this upsetting thing anymore.

"It was my fault for not guiding him properly at the time."

Until now, Shisui still feels guilty. In his opinion, Itachi is also his younger brother, and he is also responsible for Itachi becoming like this.

"Don't blame yourself too much. You've got everything."

Ye Lan waved his hand to end the topic, and even he looked expectant.

"It's in hand."

Shisui knew what Ye Lan was talking about, and took out the Sharingan that was soaked in liquid from his arms.

Ye Lan took it in his hand and observed the eye that once belonged to his brother. Together with the one in his hand, a pair of kaleidoscopes was now complete.

When he replaced his eyes, he turned into a never-extinguishing kaleidoscope. He was confident that he could defeat even Nagato's Samsara Eye.

Only then will he truly have the strength to dominate the ninja world.
